    FMNL2 Regulates Gliovascular Interactions and Is Associated with Vascular Risk Factors and Cerebrovascular Pathology in Alzheimer’s Disease

    The authors proposed that FMNL2 regulated pathology-dependent plasticity of the blood-brain-barrier by controlling gliovascular interactions and stimulating the clearance of extracellular aggregates.

    The Requirement of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase 1 for Angiogenesis In Vitro and In Vivo

    Scientists examined the potential biological function of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) in angiogenesis. Short hairpin RNA- or CRISPR-Cas9–induced PCK1 depletion potently inhibited endothelial cell proliferation, migration, sprouting, and tube formation, whereas ectopic PCK1 overexpression exerted opposite activity.

    Association between Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-Mediated Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction and Stress-Induced Depression

    Researchers demonstrated the role of VEGF, a key mediator of vascular angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, in stress-induced BBB dysfunction and depressive-like behavior development.

    Abstract

    Topography-Induced Large-Scale Antiparallel Collective Migration in Vascular Endothelium

    The authors showed that unconfined endothelial cell monolayers on microgroove substrates that mimicked the anisotropic organization of the extracellular matrix exhibited a specific type of collective movement that took the form of a periodic pattern of antiparallel cell streams.

    Extracellular Vimentin Mimics VEGF and Is a Target for Anti-Angiogenic Immunotherapy

    Investigators showed that extracellular vimentin contributed to immune suppression and functioned as a vascular immune checkpoint molecule.

    Glioblastoma-Associated Microglia-Derived Exosomal circKIF18A Promotes Angiogenesis by Targeting FOXC2

    The glioblastoma-associated microglia M2 polarization was constructed, and microglia-derived exosomes were isolated to co-culture with human brain microvessel endothelial cells.

    Abstract

    MiR-188-3p Targets Skeletal Endothelium Coupling of Angiogenesis and Osteogenesis during Aging

    Scientists reported that miRNA-188-3p expression was upregulated in skeletal endothelium and negatively regulated the formation of type H vessels during aging.

    Notch1 Signaling in Keratocytes Maintains Corneal Transparency by Suppressing VEGF Expression

    Investigators ablated Notch1 in keratocytes using Twist2-Cre mice and found that Twist2-Cre; Notch1f/f mice developed stroma expansion and neovascularization, followed by hyperproliferation and metaplasia of corneal epithelial progenitor cells and plaque formation at central cornea, leading to loss of transparency.

    Inhibition of PFKFB3 in HER2-Positive Gastric Cancer Improves Sensitivity to Trastuzumab by Inducing Tumor Vessel Normalization

    Researchers established trastuzumab-resistant cells and patient-derived gastric cancer xenografts models to measure metabolic levels and vascular density and shape.

    AbstractGraphical Abstract

    Antagonism of Histamine H3 Receptor Promotes Angiogenesis Following Focal Cerebral Ischemia

    The authors demonstrated that H3 receptor (H3R) antagonism promoted angiogenesis after cerebral ischemia, which was independent of activation of histaminergic neurons, but related to the H3R on vascular endothelial cells and its interaction with Annexin A2.

    Abstract

    Detailed Behavior of Endothelial Wall Shear Stress across Coronary Lesions from Non-Invasive Imaging with Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

    Scientists investigated the patterns of endothelial wall shear stress (ESS) across coronary lesions from non-invasive imaging with coronary computed tomography angiography and defined plaque-associated ESS values in patients with coronary artery disease.

    IL-33 Enhances Jagged1 Mediated NOTCH1 Intracellular Domain (NICD) Deubiquitination and Pathological Angiogenesis in Proliferative Retinopathy

    In vitro studies using human retinal microvascular endothelial cells showed that IL-33 induced sprouting angiogenesis and required NFκB-mediated Jagged1 expression and Notch1 activation.
