Article
Endothelium-derived NO plays a critical role in the regulation of cardiovascular function and structure, as well as acting as a downstream mediator of the angiogenic response to numerous vascular growth factors. Although endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)-deficient mice are viable, minor congenital cardiac abnormalities have been reported and homozygou...

Article
We identified and quantified the hydroperoxides, hydroxides, epoxides, isoprostanes, and core aldehydes of the major phospholipids as the main components of the oxophospholipids (a total of 5-25 pmol/micromol phosphatidylcholine) in a comparative study of human atheroma from selected stages of lesion development. The developmental stages examined i...
Article
Angiopoietin1 (Ang1) is a novel angiogenic factor with important actions on endothelial cell (EC) differentiation and vascular maturation. Ang1 has been shown to prevent EC apoptosis through activation of PI3-kinase/Akt, a pathway that is also known to activate endothelium nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). Therefore, we hypothesized that the angiogenic...
Article
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is postulated to protect against the development of atherosclerosis, in part, by inhibiting the oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) in the sub-endothelial space and thus inhibiting activation of the endothelium. The HDL-associated enzyme, paraoxonase-1, is proposed to be a major protective factor. However, HDL...
Article
Angiogenesis is a complex multistep process that involves endothelial cell (EC) migration, proliferation and differentiation into vascular tubes. NO has been reported to be a downstream mediator in the angiogenic response to a variety of growth factors, but the mechanisms by which NO promotes neovessel formation is not clear. We hypothesized that N...
Article
VasoCare therapy, which involves the administration of autologous blood following the ex vivo exposure to physico-chemical stressors, has been shown to modulate immune responses. Since immune mechanisms have been recognized to be pivotal in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, we hypothesized that VasoCare treatment would inhibit atherosclerosis in...

... Accumulating evidence has shown that decorin binding multiple growth factors such as transforming growth factor (TGF-β) [49], TNFα [50], fibroblast growth factor (FGF) [51], and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) [52]. Decorin also antagonizes several receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), including toll-like receptors (TLRs) [53], insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGFR) [54], ErbB family [55], epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) [56], and vascular endothelial growth receptor factor (VEGFR) [57]. ...
 
... On the other hand, phosphatidylcholine (PC), the most abundant surfactant lipid component was reduced in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid from lungs of eNOS knock-out neonatal mice at birth in comparison with WT. The major and most surface-active phospholipid species, dipalmitoyl PC, was also significantly reduced in BAL fluid (Han et al. 2004). In SP-D and iNOS double knockout mice model the loss of alveoli and alterations of elastic properties of lung parenchyma with no changes in surfactant system where reported suggesting that surfactant homeostasis is mediated by different mechanisms (Knudsen et al. 2014). ...
 
... PON1 also has phospholipase-like activity that allows it to hydrolyze phosphatidylcholine core aldehydes and to produce lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC) and free oxidized fatty acids (Ahmed et al. 2002;Loued et al. 2012). It has been suggested that the hydrolysis of these oxidized phospholipids may explain the anti-inflammatory activity of PON1 (Ahmed et al. 2003). Intriguingly, the hydrolysis of oxidized phospholipids in oxidized LDL (oxLDL) contributes to the formation of LysoPC and oxidized free fatty acids, both of which are pro-inflammatory (Ahmed et al. 2002;Rozenberg et al. 2003;Schilling and Eder 2009). ...
 
... Lung ECs adapt to these dynamic environmental changes and regulate post-natal pulmonary circulation by secreting various vasoactive molecules including NO (Gao and Raj, 2010;Gao et al., 2016). Endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)-deficient mice exhibit paucity of alveolar capillary ECs and arrested alveolarization (Han et al., 2004), suggesting that EC-derived NO not only regulates pulmonary vascular tone, but also contributes to alveolarization at this stage. ...
 
... The main lipid peroxidation products contained in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) are cholesterol ester hydroperoxide (CEOOH) and phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide (PCOOH), which are the primary products generated by the oxidation of cholesterol ester (CE) and phosphatidylcholine (PC), respectively [1][2][3][4][5]. Increased contents of CEOOH and PCOOH have been detected in the actual blood and organs of patients with diseases such as arteriosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes [6][7][8][9][10]. Therefore, CEOOH and PCOOH in oxidized LDL are considered to be closely related to the onset and development of such diseases. ...
 
... The hypothesis of this trial was that an anti-inflammatory stimuli could produce an endogenous anti-inflammatory state in the recipient HF patient, which would suppress ongoing low-grade pathological chronic inflammation-a concept supported by animal data. 49 Although nonspecific in nature, ACCLAIM utilized a technology called Immune Modulation therapy (celecade), where the patients' own blood would be stressed to induced cell death, and then the mixture of apoptotic cells was injected intramuscularly into the same patient (average follow-up of 10.2 months). Although there was no difference in the primary end point (all-cause mortality or cardiovascular admission) in the entire cohort, there was improvement in patients with NICM and with more mild (New York Heart Association-II) symptoms. ...
 
... These angiogenic pathways are coordinated by ANGII during kidney development under normal physiological conditions and are activated by eNOSinduced Akt/PI3K signaling (35) and endothelial NO production. Phosphorylation of eNOS by Akt resulted in activation, and increased production of NO. (36). In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that increased eNOS activity resulted in endothelial cell proliferation and migration, and increased angiogenesis (37,38). ...
 
... MSCs secrete Ang-1, especially during wound healing, which recruits macrophages and endothelial lineage cells [75][76][77]. Ang-1 phosphorylates the Tie-2 receptor and this Ang-1/Tie-2 interaction regulates maturation of newly formed vasculature, which ultimately results in complex functional vascular network formation [78,79]. Our previous research indicated that hMSCs cultured on the ECM in hypoxic environments promoted expression of Ang-1 [39]. ...
