    TOP STORY

    Low-Flow Intussusception and Metastable VEGFR2 Signaling Launch Angiogenesis in Ischemic Muscle

    Researchers discovered that angiogenesis following ischemic muscle injury in mice was not driven by endothelial sprouting, and revealed the emergence of wide-caliber, primordial conduits with an ultralow flow that rapidly transformed into a hierarchical neocirculation.

    Bone Marrow Sinusoidal Endothelium Controls Terminal Erythroid Differentiation and Reticulocyte Maturation

    Scientists showed that bone marrow sinusoidal endothelial cells (BM-SEC) actively controlled erythropoiesis. While activation of Wnt-signaling in BM-SEC caused an increase in erythroblast subsets, mature erythroid cells were reduced, indicating impairment of terminal erythroid differentiation/reticulocyte maturation.

    Vitexin Inhibits APEX1 to Counteract the Flow-Induced Endothelial Inflammation

    The authors demonstrated that vitexin, a natural flavonoid, could inhibit the activation of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease1 (APEX1) to protect vascular endothelium against the adverse effects of atherogenic stimuli.

    Abstract

    Lymph Node Formation and B Cell Homeostasis Require IKK-α in Distinct Endothelial Cell–Derived Compartments

    Investigators revealed that IκB kinase (IKK)-α in distinct endothelial cell (EC)-derived compartments was uniquely required to promote B cell homeostasis and lymph node (LN) development, and they established that lymphatic EC-intrinsic IKK-α was absolutely essential for LN formation.

    Abstract

    Bone Morphogenetic Protein 9 Enhances Osteogenic and Angiogenic Responses of Human Amniotic Mesenchymal Stem Cells Cocultured with Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells through the PI3K/AKT/M-TOR Signaling Pathway

    Researchers investigated the effects of bone morphogenetic protein 9 on osteogenesis and angiogenesis of human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells cocultured with HUVECs and determined the possible underlying molecular mechanism.

    Insulin-Stimulated Adipocytes Secrete Lactate to Promote Endothelial Fatty Acid Uptake and Transport

    Investigators modeled the relationship of adipocytes and endothelial cells in vitro to test the role of insulin in fatty acid transport.

    Abstract

    Adenoviral VEGF-B186R127S Gene Transfer Induces Angiogenesis and Improves Perfusion in Ischemic Heart

    Scientists cloned VEGF-B isoforms with different receptor binding profiles to clarify the roles of VEGFR-1 and Nrp-1 in angiogenesis and to see if angiogenic properties could be maintained while avoiding side effects.

    Receptor Interacting Protein 3 Kinase, Not 1 Kinase, through MLKL-Mediated Necroptosis Is Involved in UVA-Induced Corneal Endothelium Cell Death

    The authors investigated receptor-interacting protein 3 kinase, a key signaling molecule of programmed cell death, in UVA-induced injury using a short-term corneal endothelium culture model.

    Pseudogene RPL32P3 Regulates the Blood–Tumor Barrier Permeability via the YBX2/HNF4G Axis

    Researchers identified that ribosomal protein L32 pseudogene 3 (RPL32P3) was highly expressed in glioma-exposed endothelial cells. Knockdown of RPL32P3 decreased the expression of tight junction-related proteins and increased blood–tumor barrier permeability.

    Fibroblast Transition to an Endothelial “Trans” State Improves Cell Reprogramming Efficiency

    Scientists explored a novel strategy leveraging endothelial cell plasticity to enhance reprogramming efficiency. Rat cardiac endothelial cells and fibroblasts were treated with Gata4, Mef2c, and Tbx5 to assess the cardio-differentiation potential of these cells.

    Staphylococcus aureus Iron-Regulated Surface Determinant B (IsdB) Protein Interacts with Von Willebrand Factor and Promotes Adherence to Endothelial Cells

    The binding of IsdB and adhesion of Staphylococcus aureus expressing IsdB to monolayers of activated endothelial cells was significantly inhibited by a monoclonal antibody against the A1 domain and by IsdB reactive IgG from patients with staphylococcal endocarditis.

    Endothelial Glycocalyx and Microvascular Perfusion Are Associated with Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Impaired Myocardial Deformation in Psoriatic Disease

    Investigators evaluated endothelial glycocalyx barrier properties and microvascular perfusion in psoriatic patients, as well as their correlation with carotid intima-media thickness and markers of left ventricular myocardial deformation.

    Abstract

    Melanoma-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Induce Lymphangiogenesis and Metastasis through an NGFR-Dependent Mechanism

    Scientists found that small extracellular vesicles derived from metastatic melanoma cell lines were enriched in nerve growth factor receptor, spread through the lymphatic system and were taken up by lymphatic endothelial cells, reinforcing lymph node metastasis.

    Castleman Disease

    VEGF is a potent angiogenic factor that may have a role in the pathogenesis of the Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV)-negative idiopathic form of multicentric Castelman disease (MCD) and KSHV-MCD, as endothelial cell and blood vessel proliferation is an important component of MCD.
