MiR-130a Activates the VEGFR2/STAT3/HIF1α Axis to Potentiate the Vasoregenerative Capacity of Endothelial Colony Forming Cells in Hypoxia

The authors identified miR-130a as a mediator of the hypoxic response in human primary endothelial colony forming cells, a well-characterized subtype of endothelial progenitor.

ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters Restrict Drug Delivery and Efficacy against Brain Tumors Even when Blood-Brain Barrier Integrity Is Lost

A leaky vasculature resulted in higher docetaxel tumor levels compared to normal brain. Nevertheless, Abcb1 could reduce drug distribution and efficacy even in leaky models.

A GLP-1 Analog Lowers ER Stress and Enhances Protein Folding to Ameliorate Homocysteine-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction

Exendin-4 increased the expression of endoplasmic reticulum oxidoreductase, an important endothelial reticulum chaperone in endothelial cells, and this effect was mediated by AMPK activation.

Dual Channel Microfluidics for Mimicking the Blood–Brain Barrier

A co-culture of human vascular endothelial cells with pericytes was developed that mimics the blood–brain barrier. This dual channel microfluidics system enabled 3D localization microscopy of the cytoskeleton and 3D single-molecule-sensitive tracing of lipoprotein particles.

The HSP GRP94 Interacts with Macrophage Intracellular Complement C3 and Impacts M2 Profile During ER Stress

Scientists studied GRP94 in M1/LPS + IFNγ and M2/IL-4 primary macrophages derived from human monocytes, in basal and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress conditions induced by thapsigargin, an inducer of ER calcium depletion and tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-glycosylation.

T-ALL Can Evolve to Oncogene Independence

Researchers found that the related transcription factor TAL1 was dispensable in several human T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) cell lines that contained SIL-TAL1 chromosomal deletions driving its overexpression, indicating that evolution to oncogene independence could also occur in human T-ALL.
