Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mediates angiogenic activity in a variety of estrogen target tissues. To determine whether has direct transcriptional effect on VEGF gene expression, we developed model system by transiently transfecting human promoter-luciferase reporter constructs into primary endometrial cells and Ishikawa cells, derived from well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. In epithelial treatment with 17β-estradiol (E 2 ) resulted 3.8-fold increase luciferase activity,...
One of the key mediators hypoxic response in animal cells is hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1 (HIF-1) complex, which α-subunit highly susceptible to oxygen-dependent degradation. The manifested many pathophysiological processes such as tumor growth and metastasis. During hypoxia, shift a primarily glycolytic metabolic mode for their energetic needs. This also HIF-1-dependent up-regulation genes. Paradoxically, growing under conditions normal oxygen tension show elevated rates that...
When oxygen becomes limiting, cells shift primarily to a glycolytic mode for generation of energy. A key regulator flux is fructose‐2,6‐bisphosphate (F‐2,6‐BP), potent allosteric 6‐phosphofructo‐1‐kinase (PFK‐1). The levels F‐2,6‐BP are maintained by family bifunctional enzymes, 6‐phosphofructo‐2‐kinase/fructose‐2,6‐bisphosphatase (PFKFB or PFK‐2), which have both kinase and phosphatase activities. Each member the enzyme characterized their phosphatase:kinase activity ratio (K:B)...

Angiogenesis is a common feature observed in advanced atherosclerotic lesions. We hypothesized that oxidized phospholipids (OxPLs), which accumulate vessels can stimulate angiogenesis. found 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl- sn -glycero-3-phosphocholine (OxPAPC) stimulated the formation of sprouts from endothelial cell spheroids and promoted growth capillaries into Matrigel plugs mice. OxPLs expression vascular factor (VEGF) vivo several normal tumor types vitro. In addition, OxPAPC upregulated...
Hypoxia induces the stabilization and transcriptional activation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) protein, regulatory member HIF-1 complex. The molecular mechanisms that are responsible for oxygen sensing downstream pathways utilized by hypoxic signal still poorly understood. One hypothesis has postulated reactive species generated at mitochondrial complex III initiators signal. Here we find DNA-less (ρo) cells have a normal response to hypoxia, measured level HIF-1α protein...
Abstract Background Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors contribute to the development of malignant glioma. Here we considered possible implication EGFR ligand epiregulin (EREG) in glioma relation activity unfolded protein response (UPR) sensor IRE1α. We also examined EREG status several glioblastoma cell lines and Methods Expression biological properties were analyzed human cells vitro tumor xenografts with regard presence ErbB proteins blockade Inactivation IRE1α was achieved by using...
The PFKFB4 gene encodes isoenzyme of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase (PFKFB or PFK-2/FBPase-2) which originally was found in the testes. We have studied hypoxic regulation prostate cancer cell line, PC-3, and several other lines. It shown that hypoxia significantly induced mRNA levels PC-3 as well HeLa, Hep3B HepG2 Hypoxia increased protein also. Moreover, desferrioxamine cobalt chloride, are known to mimic hypoxia, also had a stimulatory effect on expression mRNA. In...
P-selectin translocation to the surface of endothelial cells is increased after exposure nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), resulting in adhesiveness. L-NAME (3 mM) was added human cultured iliac vein for 1, 2, 4, and 6 h, mRNA expression quantified by a ribonuclease protection assay. In parallel experiments, NO donor, SPM-5185 (10 microM), venous cells, quantified. protein synthesis Western blot analysis. caused P-selection RNA at 2-4 whereas...
Abstract Objective. For the effective growth of malignant tumors, including glioblastoma, necessary factors involve endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, hypoxia, and availability nutrients, particularly glucose. The ER degradation enhancing alpha-mannosidase like protein 1 (EDEM1) is involved in ER-associated (ERAD) targeting misfolded glycoproteins for an N-glycan-independent manner. EDEM1 was also identified as a new modulator insulin synthesis secretion. present study aims to investigate...

Resuscitation from hemorrhage induces profound pathophysiologic alterations and activates inflammatory cascades able to initiate neutrophil accumulation in a variety of tissues. This process is accompanied by acute organ damage (e.g., lungs liver). We have previously demonstrated that significant leukocyte–endothelium interactions occur very early other forms ischemia/reperfusion (i.e., splanchnic traumatic shock) which are largely mediated increased expression the adhesion molecule,...
