Oxidative stress-induced endothelial dysfunction plays a key role in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Recent evidence indicates that progenitor cell-derived microvesicles (EPC-MVs) can promote angiogenesis of cells (ECs). Here, we investigated the potential effects EPC-MVs on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury human brain microvascular ECs (hb-ECs). MVs were prepared from EPCs cultured serum deprivation (SD) medium (starving stress, sEPC-MVs) or SD containing tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF )...

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a lately discovered catalyzing Angiotensin II into 1-7. has been reported to impair endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) function and detrimental stroke. Here, we studied the role of ACE2 in regulating EPC vitro vivo. EPCs were cultured from human renin angiotensinogen transgenic (R+A+) mice their controls (R-A-). In experiments, transduced with lentivirus-ACE2 or lentivirus-green fluorescence protein. The effects overexpression on NO synthase...

Cell-released microvesicles (MVs) represent a novel way of cell-to-cell communication. Previous evidence indicates that endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs)-derived MVs can modulate cell survival and proliferation. In this study, we evaluated whether EPC-MVs protect cardiomyocytes (CMs) against angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced hypertrophy apoptosis. The H9c2 CMs were exposed to Ang in the presence or absence EPC-MVs. Cell viability, apoptosis, surface area β-myosin heavy chain (β-MHC)...

The digestive system is gaining interest as a major regulator of various functions including immune defense, nutrient accumulation, and regulation feeding behavior, aside from its conventional function organ. Drosophila midgut epithelium completely renewed every 1-2 weeks due to differentiation pluripotent intestinal stem cells in the midgut. Intestinal constantly divide differentiate into enterocytes that secrete enzymes absorb nutrients, or enteroendocrine regulatory peptides. Regulatory...

In this study, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models were determined based on 91 antioxidant tripeptides. We firstly adopted the stepwise regression (SWR) method for selecting key variables without autocorrelation and then utilized multiple linear (MLR), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), partial least square (PLS) to develop predictive QSAR screened variables. The results demonstrated that all established have good reliability (R²train > 0.86, Q²train...
