    Synthetic Extracellular Matrices with Tailored Adhesiveness and Degradability Support Lumen Formation during Angiogenic Sprouting

    The authors showed that long, perfusable tubes only developed if hydrogel adhesiveness and degradability were fine-tuned to support the initial collective invasion of endothelial cells and, at the same time, allowed for matrix remodeling to permit the opening of lumens.

    Targeting the SHP2 Phosphatase Promotes Vascular Damage and Inhibition of Tumor Growth

    The authors reported that SRC homology 2-containing Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (SHP2 was an essential promoter of endothelial cell survival and growth in the remodeling tumor vasculature.

    A Norrin/Wnt Surrogate Antibody Stimulates Endothelial Cell Barrier Function and Rescues Retinopathy

    Researchers developed F4L5.13, a tetravalent antibody designed to induce FZD4 and LRP5 proximity in such a way as to trigger βcatenin signaling. Treatment of cultured endothelial cells with F4L5.13 rescued permeability induced by VEGF in part by promoting surface expression of junction proteins.

    miR-126-3p Is Essential for CXCL12-Induced Angiogenesis

    The authors analyzed the miR-126/CXCL12 axis and compared impacts of both miR-126-3p and miR-126-5p strands effects in CXCL12-induced angiogenesis.

    LncRNA SNHG15 Relieves Hyperglycemia-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction via Increased Ubiquitination of Thioredoxin-Interacting Protein

    A downregulation of SNHG15 was observed in the ischemic hind limb of diabetic mice and high glucose-treated HUVECs.

    Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycan Glypican-1 and PECAM-1 Cooperate in Shear-Induced Endothelial Nitric Oxide Production

    Atomic force microscopy pulling was used to apply force to glypican-1 and PECAM-1 on the surface of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and nitric oxide was measured using a fluorescent reporter dye.

    β3-Endonexin Interacts with Ninein in Vascular Endothelial Cells to Promote Angiogenesis

    Scientists utilized a β3-endonexin mutant carrying a defective nuclear localization sequence to disrupt its nuclear localization and evaluated its ability to promote HUVEC proliferation and formation of tube-like vascular structures.

    Abstract

    Non-Hotspot PIK3CA Mutations Are More Frequent in CLOVES than in Common or Combined Lymphatic Malformations

    Researchers used targeted next-generation sequencing or digital droplet polymerase chain reaction to screen for somatic PIK3CA mutations on DNA extracted from resected lesional tissue or lymphatic endothelial cells isolated from lesions.

    Cancer Therapy Search Gets Boost from NIH Grant

    The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded Lydia Kavraki, PhD, of Rice University’s Brown School of Engineering, a U01 grant to develop a new approach to model and analyze protein-ligand interactions in cancer research. The end goal is to create a proteomics toolkit, PROTEAN-CR, focused on the structural analysis of protein-ligand interactions.
