Involvement of HMGB1 in Resistance to Tumor Vessel-Targeted, Monoclonal Antibody-Based Immunotherapy by Vito Pistoia, Annalisa Pezzolo

“…We have demonstrated that targeting of tumor-derived endothelial cells with an anti-human CD31 monoclonal antibody in a human neuroblastoma model was unsuccessful due to a complex chain of events involving the participation of HMGB1. …”

The Precapillary Segment of the Blood-Brain Barrier and Its Relation to Perivascular Drainage in Alzheimer's Disease and Small Vessel Disease. by Dietmar R. Thal

“…At capillaries protein transport is possible via receptor-mediated endocytosis through endothelial cells. At the arteries and veins the BBB is thicker and there is, under physiological conditions, no direct transport from the brain tissue to the blood or vice versa. …”

Involvement of Nitric Oxide in a Rat Model of Carrageenin-Induced Pleurisy by Masahiro Iwata, Shigeyuki Suzuki, Yuji Asai, Takayuki Inoue, Kenji Takagi

“…L-arginine and NOC-18 reversed the proinflammatory effects of NO synthase inhibitors, perhaps by reducing the expression of adhesion molecules on endothelial cells. Thus, our results indicate that NO is involved in blunting—not enhancing—the inflammatory response.…”

MBL Interferes with Endovascular Trophoblast Invasion in Pre-Eclampsia by Chiara Agostinis, Fleur Bossi, Elisa Masat, Oriano Radillo, Maddalena Tonon, Francesco De Seta, Francesco Tedesco, Roberta Bulla

“…Our recent data indicate that decidual endothelial cells (DECs), covering the inner side of the spiral arteries, acquire the ability to synthesize C1q, which acts as a link between endovascular trophoblast and DECs favouring the process of vascular remodelling. …”

Reactive Oxygen Species, SUMOylation, and Endothelial Inflammation by Nhat-Tu Le, James P. Corsetti, Janet L. Dehoff-Sparks, Charles E. Sparks, Keigi Fujiwara, Jun-ichi Abe

“…Although the exact mechanism through which NADPH oxidases (Nox’s) generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) is still not completely understood, it is widely considered that ROS accumulation is the cause of oxidative stress in endothelial cells. Increasing pieces of evidence strongly indicate the role for ROS in endothelial inflammation and dysfunction and subsequent development of atherosclerotic plaques, which are causes of various pathological cardiac events. …”

Systemic brain dissemination of glioblastoma requires transdifferentiation into endothelial-like cells via TGF-β-ALK1-Smad1/5 signaling by Thomas M.B. Ware, Adilson Fonseca Teixeira, Josephine Iaria, Rodney B. Luwor, Hong-Jian Zhu

“…Mechanistically, in addition to TGF-β-ALK5-Smad2/3 signaling, glioblastoma tumour cells also activate TGF-β-ALK1-Smad1/5 signaling – a mechanism previously thought to be limited to endothelial cells. Consequently, therapeutic targeting of TGF-β-ALK1-Smad1/5 activity impaired endothelialisation-driven glioblastoma progression. …”
