However, the mechanisms through which it regulates these processes remain largely elusive. Using endothelial cell-mediated angiogenesis as a model, here we report a previously unknown intracellular...

...William R. Critchley; Gina A. Smith; Ian C. Zachary; Michael A. Harrison; Sreenivasan Ponnambalam ABSTRACT Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2, encoded by KDR ) regulates endothelial function and angiogenesis. VEGFR2 undergoes ubiquitination that programs this receptor...

...Yao Xiao; Mingliang Li; Teng Ma; Hao Ning; Libo Liu ABSTRACT AMG232 effectively inhibits cancers with wild-type p53 (also known as TP53) by reactivating p53, but whether it inhibits glioma angiogenesis remains unclear. This study confirms that AMG232 inhibits the proliferation of glioma endothelial...

...Kiyomi Tsuji-Tamura; Saori Morino-Koga; Shingo Suzuki; Minetaro Ogawa ABSTRACT Elongation of vascular endothelial cells (ECs) is an important process in angiogenesis; however, the molecular mechanisms remain unknown. The actin-crosslinking protein TAGLN (transgelin, also known as SM22 or SM22α...

... development and embryonic lethality. Although hypoxia is implicated in vascular remodelling and angiogenesis, its effect on PTP-PEST remains unexplored. Here we report that hypoxia (1% oxygen) increases protein levels and catalytic activity of PTP-PEST in primary endothelial cells. Immunoprecipitation...

...Hao Xu; Kevin Pumiglia; Susan E. LaFlamme ABSTRACT During angiogenesis, endothelial cells engage components of the extracellular matrix through integrin-mediated adhesion. Endothelial expression of laminin-411 and laminin-511 is known to promote vessel stability. However, little is known about...

... YAP/TAZ (YAP is also known as YAP1, and TAZ as WWTR1) signaling is crucial for sprouting angiogenesis and vascular homeostasis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that explain how YAP/TAZ control the vasculature remain unclear. This study reveals that the focal adhesion protein deleted...

Our data indicate that knockdown of TMEM30A in primary human retinal endothelial cells led to reduced tube formation. In mice, endothelial cell (EC)-specific deletion of Tmem30a led to retarded retinal vascular development...
