Neuropilin 1 (Nrp1) is a coreceptor for vascular endothelial growth factor A165 (VEGF-A165, VEGF-A164 in mice) and semaphorin 3A (SEMA3A). Nevertheless, Nrp1 null embryos display defects that differ from those of mice lacking either or Sema3A proteins. Furthermore, it has been recently reported required cell (EC) response to both VEGF-A165 VEGF-A121 isoforms, the latter being incapable binding on EC surface. Taken together, these data suggest phenotype caused by loss could be due...

Abstract Basolateral polymerization of cellular fibronectin (FN) into a meshwork drives endothelial cell (EC) polarity and vascular remodelling. However, mechanisms coordinating α5β1 integrin-mediated extracellular FN endocytosis exocytosis newly synthesized remain elusive. Here we show that, on Rab21-elicited internalization, FN-bound/active is recycled to the EC surface. We identify pathway, comprising regulators post-Golgi carrier formation PI4KB AP-1A, small GTPase Rab11B, surface...

The events occurring during tumor formation and progression display similarities to some of the steps in embryonic morphogenesis. family AP-2 proteins consists five different transcription factors (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon) that play relevant roles development, as demonstrated by phenotypes corresponding knockout mice. Here, we show AP-2alpha AP-2gamma an essential role tumorigenesis. Down-modulation expression cells RNA interference (RNAi) led enhanced growth reduced...

The dynamic integrin-mediated adhesion of endothelial cells (ECs) to the surrounding ECM is fundamental for angiogenesis both in physiological and pathological conditions, such as embryonic development cancer progression. dynamics EC-to-ECM adhesions relies on regulation conformational activation trafficking integrins. Here, we reveal that oncogenic transcription factor EB (TFEB), a known regulator lysosomal biogenesis metabolism, also controls transcriptional program influences turnover ECs...

Abstract Melanomas are characterised by accelerated cell proliferation and metabolic reprogramming resulting from the contemporary dysregulation of MAPK pathway, glycolysis tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Here, we suggest that oncogenic transcription factor EB (TFEB), a key regulator lysosomal biogenesis function, controls melanoma tumour growth through transcriptional programme targeting ERK1/2 activity glucose, glutamine cholesterol metabolism. Mechanistically, TFEB binds negatively...

Abstract Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a complex and pivotal process involved in organogenesis related to several pathological processes, including cancer fibrosis. During heart development, EMT mediates the conversion of epicardial cells into vascular smooth muscle cardiac interstitial fibroblasts. Here, we show that oncogenic transcription factor EB (TFEB) key regulator its genetic overexpression mouse epicardium lethal due defects linked impaired EMT. TFEB specifically...

Recent findings suggest that epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a key step during heart development, is involved in cardiac tissue repair following myocardial infarction (MI). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) act as regulators EMT processes; however, the mechanisms by which miRNAs target epicardial remain largely unknown. Here, using an vitro model of EMT, we investigated role this process and their potential targets. was induced murine epicardial-mesothelial cells (EMCs) through TGF β1 treatment...

Abstract Embryonic stem cells (ES) are a valuable source of endothelial cells. By co-culturing ES with the stromal PA6 cells, commitment can be achieved by adding exogenous FGF2 or BMP4.
