    A Single-Cell Atlas of the Normal and Malformed Human Brain Vasculature

    Investigators profiled transcriptomes of 181,388 cells to define a cell atlas of the adult human cerebrovasculature, including endothelial cell molecular signatures with arteriovenous segmentation and expanded perivascular cell diversity.

    Heterogeneity in Endothelial Cells and Widespread Venous Arterialization during Early Vascular Development in Mammals

    Scientists constructed the single-cell transcriptomic landscape of vascular endothelial cells during the time window for the occurrence of key vasculogenic and angiogenic events in both mouse and human embryos.

    TIRAP Drives Myelosuppression through an Ifnγ–Hmgb1 Axis That Disrupts the Endothelial Niche in Mice

    The authors showed that toll/interleukin-1 receptor domain containing adaptor protein (TIRAP) was overexpressed in various types of myelodysplastic syndromes and suppressed all three major hematopoietic lineages.

    Abstract

    Extracellular Vimentin Is an Attachment Factor That Facilitates SARS-CoV-2 Entry into Human Endothelial Cells

    Investigators described the identification of vimentin, an intermediate filament protein widely expressed in cells of mesenchymal origin, as an important attachment factor for SARS-CoV-2 on human endothelial cells.

    Integrin α5 Is Regulated by miR-218-5p in Endothelial Progenitor Cells

    Researchers isolated endothelial progenitor cells derived from the human kidney and surveyed microRNA target transcripts. They used a genetic knockout model to evaluate the effect of deleting endogenous expression of miR-218 specifically in angioblasts.

    Abstract

    Local Factor H Production by Human Choroidal Endothelial Cells Mitigates Complement Deposition: Implications for Macular Degeneration

    Scientists investigated the effect of reduced complement factor H (FH) levels in the choroid to determine whether increasing local FH could protect choroidal endothelial cells from membrane attack complex deposition.

    Abstract

    NiONPs-Induced Alteration in Calcium Signaling and Mitochondrial Function in Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells Involves Oxidative Stress and TRPV4 Channels Disruption

    In this in vitro study scientists assessed the cytotoxic effects of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs) on human pulmonary artery endothelial cells.

    Abstract

    CircCHMP5 Contributes to Ox-LDL-Induced Endothelial Cell Injury through the Regulation of MiR-532-5p/ROCK2 Axis

    Oxidized low-density lipoprotein was used to treat HUVECs to construct a cell injury model. The expression level of circCHMP5, miR-532-5p, and Rho-associated protein kinase 2 was measured using quantitative real-time PCR.

    Abstract

    Uncovering Emergent Phenotypes in Endothelial Cells by Clustering of Surrogates of Cardiovascular Risk Factors

    Researchers used global gene expression in human coronary artery endothelial cells to identify gene pathways and cellular processes in response to chemical hypoxia, oxidized lipids, IL-1β induced inflammation, oscillatory flow, and these combined stimuli.

    The Versatility and Paradox of BMP Signaling in Endothelial Cell Behaviors and Blood Vessel Function

    The authors examine endothelial cell bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling in vitro and in vivo and discuss the paradox of BMP signals that both destabilize and stabilize endothelial cell behaviors.
