Immunobiology and Immunotherapy of HCC: Spotlight on Endothelial Specific YY1 Deletion Restricts Tumor Angiogenesis and Tumor Growthinnate and Innate-Like Immune Cells

VEGF-induced endothelial cell (EC) migration was diminished in Yin Yang 1 (YY1)-depleted HUVECs. A rescue experiment revealed that YY1-regulated BMP6 expression in ECs was involved in EC migration.

Cardiovascular Tissue Regeneration System Based on Multiscale Scaffolds Comprising Double-Layered Hydrogels and Fibers

Mulltiscale scaffolds compartmentalized cells into the core region of cardiac tissue and the peripheral region of blood vessels to construct cardiovascular tissue, which was accomplished by a triple culture system of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells with C2C12 myoblasts on polycaprolactone fibers along with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in fibrin hydrogel.

The Protective Effects of Tripeptides VPP and IPP against Small Extracellular Vesicles from Angiotensin II-Induced Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Mediating Endothelial Dysfunction in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

Scientists investigated whether the antihypertensive peptides Val-Pro-Pro (VPP) and Ile-Pro-Pro (IPP) ameliorate the effects of extracellular vesicles from Ang II-induced vascular smooth muscles on the endothelial dysfunction.

Flow-Mediated Susceptibility and Molecular Response of Cerebral Endothelia to SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Endothelial cells were isolated from human brain and analyzed by RNA sequencing. Human umbilical vein and human brain microvascular cells were used in both monolayer culture and endothelialized within a 3-dimensional printed vascular model of the middle cerebral artery.

Docosahexaenoic Acid Reverses the Promoting Effects of Breast Tumor Cell-Derived Exosomes on Endothelial Cell Migration and Angiogenesis

By the time breast cancer cells were treated with DHA, RT-qPCR was used to investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the selected pro- and anti-angiogenic microRNAs.

Expression of CARD8 in Human Atherosclerosis and Its Regulation of Inflammatory Proteins in Human Endothelial Cells

The CARD8 mRNA was knocked-down in HUVECs in vitro, followed by quantitative RT-PCR analysis and OLINK Proteomics. Endothelial and smooth muscle cells in arterial tissue expressed CARD8 and CARD8 correlated with vWF, CD163 and the expression of inflammatory genes, such as CXCL1, CXCL6 and PDGF-A in plaque.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomal MiR-145 Inhibit Atherosclerosis by targeting JAM-A

Scientists showed that microRNA-145 is associated with atherosclerosis by microRNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. MSC-derived miR-145 rich exosomes could efficiently deliver miR-145 from MSCs to human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

miRNA-126-3p Carried by Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell Enhances Endothelial Function through Exosome-Mediated Mechanisms In Vitro and Attenuates Vein Graft Neointimal Formation In Vivo

Human umbilical cord MSCs (hucMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were isolated from human umbilical cords and characterized by a series of experiments. Lentivirus vector encoding miRNA-126-3p was transfected into hucMSCs and verified by PCR.

Pyruvate Kinase M2 Mediates the Glycolysis in the Lymphatic Endothelial Cells and Its Potential Relation to the Progression of Lymphatic Malformations

The glycolysis index, including glucose uptake, ATP and lactate production stayed at a relatively high level in human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLECs) compared with HUVECS, while inhibition of PKM2 by shikinon or PKM2 knockdown could significantly suppress glycolysis, migration, tubular formation, and invasion of HDLECs.
