    Hypoxia Increases the Potential for Neutrophil-Mediated Endothelial Damage in COPD

    The healthy human neutrophil secretome generated under normoxic or hypoxic conditions was characterized by quantitative mass spectrometry, and the capacity for neutrophil-mediated endothelial damage assessed.

    Correction of a Factor VIII Genomic Inversion with Designer-Recombinases

    Transient recombinase system treatment of endothelial cells, differentiated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells of a hemophilic donor, resulted in 12% correction of the inversion and restored Factor VIII mRNA expression.

    Interplay of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors in Organ-Specific Vessel Maintenance

    Researchers showed that vascular regression induced by VEGFR2 deletion in postnatal and adult mice was aggravated by additional deletion of VEGFR1 or VEGFR3 in the intestine, kidney, and pancreas, but not in the liver or kidney glomeruli.

    Abstract

    VEGF Signaling Causes Stalls in Brain Capillaries and Reduces Cerebral Blood Flow in Alzheimer’s Mice

    Scientists reported that VEGF signaling at the luminal side of the brain microvasculature played an integral role in the capillary stalling phenomenon of the APP/PS1 mouse model.

    Abstract

    The Endothelial Diapedesis Synapse Regulates Transcellular Migration of Human T Lymphocytes in a CX3CL1- and SNAP23-Dependent Manner

    Investigators demonstrated that human central memory cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) crossed the endothelium in a predominantly paracellular fashion, whereas effector and effector memory CTLs crossed the endothelium preferably in a transcellular fashion.

    AMIGO2 Contained in Cancer Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Enhances the Adhesion of Liver Endothelial Cells to Cancer Cells

    The authors explored the role of cancer cell-derived amphoterin-induced gene and open reading frame 2 (AMIGO2)-containing extracellular vesicles in the adhesion of cancer cells to human hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells.

    MEG8 Regulates Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor 2 (TFPI2) Expression in the Endothelium

    Scientists investigated the role of maternally expressed gene 8 (MEG8) specifically in endothelial function as well as the underlying mechanism, hypothesizing that it plays an important role in cardiovascular disease via epigenetic regulation of gene expression.

    CCN2-Induced Lymphangiogenesis Is Mediated by the Integrin αvβ5–ERK Pathway and Regulated by DUSP6

    Investigators found that communication network factor 2 (CCN2) induced phosphorylation of ERK in primary cultured lymphatic endothelial cells, which was almost completely inhibited by the blockade of integrin αvβ5 and partially decreased by the blockade of integrin αvβ3.
