Embryological development of the human cranio-facial arterial system : a pictorial review

Bertulli, Lorenzo ; Robert, Thomas

In: Surgical and radiologic anatomy, 2021, p. 13 p

The embryological development of the cerebral vasculature is very complex. Historical and also more recent studies based on human embryos, comparative anatomy and cerebral angiographies allowed us to better understand this vasculature development. The knowledge and understanding of such embryological development are important for physicians interested in neurovascular pathologies. Indeed, all...

CD47 promotes age-associated deterioration in angiogenesis, blood flow and glucose homeostasis

Ghimire, Kedar ; Li, Yao ; Chiba, Takuto ; Julovi, Sohel M. ; Li, Jennifer ; Ross, Mark A. ; Straub, Adam C. ; O’Connell, Philip J. ; Rüegg, Curzio ; Pagano, Patrick J. ; Isenberg, Jeffrey S. ; Rogers, Natasha M.

The aged population is currently at its highest level in human history and is expected to increase further in the coming years. In humans, aging is accompanied by impaired angiogenesis, diminished blood flow and altered metabolism, among others. A cellular mechanism that impinges upon these manifestations of aging can be a suitable target for therapeutic intervention. Here we identify cell...

Differential expression of CD31 and von Willebrand factor on endothelial cells in different regions of the human brain: potential implications for cerebral malaria pathogenesis

Mbagwu, Smart Ikechukwu ; Filgueira, Luis

In: Brain Sciences, 2020, vol. 10, no. 1, p. 31

Cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (CMVECs) line the vascular system of the brain and are the chief cells in the formation and function of the blood brain barrier (BBB). These cells are heterogeneous along the cerebral vasculature and any dysfunctional state in these cells can result in a local loss of function of the BBB in any region of the brain. There is currently no report on the...

Hypoxia enhances endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule 1 protein level through upregulation of arginase type II and mitochondrial oxidative stress

Liang, Xiujie ; Arullampalam, Prakash ; Yang, Zhihong ; Ming, Xiu-Fen

In: Frontiers in Physiology, 2019, vol. 10, p. -

Hypoxia plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Mitochondrial enzyme arginase type II (Arg-II) is reported to lead to endothelial dysfunction and enhance the expression of endothelial inflammatory adhesion molecules such as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). In this study, we investigate the role of Arg-II in...

MAGI1 mediates eNOS activation and NO production in endothelial cells in response to fluid shear stress

Ghimire, Kedar ; Zaric, Jelena ; Alday-Parejo, Begoña ; Seebach, Jochen ; Bousquenaud, Mélanie ; Stalin, Jimmy ; Bieler, Grégory ; Schnittler, Hans-Joachim ; Rüegg, Curzio

In: Cells, 2019, vol. 8, no. 5, p. 388

Fluid shear stress stimulates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activation and nitric oxide (NO) production through multiple kinases, including protein kinase A (PKA), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), AKT and Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). Membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) with inverted domain structure-1 (MAGI1) is an adaptor protein that...
