... with increased CIMT (iCIMT) compared with those patients with normal CIMT (nCIMT). Furthermore, the overexpression of miR-575 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by its mimics significantly inhibited migration and proliferation as well as induction of apoptosis of HUVECs. Inhibition of miR-575...

...Eun Young Park; Andrius Kazlauskas The plasma level of LPA (lysophosphatidic acid) (200–600 nM) is well within the range that promotes proliferation and migration of vascular ECs (endothelial cells), yet vessels are quiescent and stable. In this report, we considered one explanation...

... of skin inflammation. Activation modulates cell communication, namely leucocyte recruitment and blood-to-skin extravasation through the selective barrier of the vascular ECs (endothelial cells). In the present study, we describe an in vitro model which takes into account the various steps of human skin...

...S. Kojima; K. Nara; Y. Inada; S. Hirose; Y. Saito Platelet aggregation activity due to platelet-activating factor (PAF) was detected at high molecular weight (HMW) and low molecular weight fractions after gel-filtration chromatography of cell lysate of endothelial cells. [ 3 H]PAF added to the cell...
