18 11897712 Immunohistochemistry for proliferating cell nuclear antigen within the pancreatic ductal epithelium showed no differences in labeling index between insulin-deficient and control mice, and no change in the number of beta-cells associated with ducts, but the relative size distribution of the islets was altered so that fewer islets under 5,000 microm(2) and more islets greater than 10,000 microm(2) were present in Ins1-/-, Ins2-/- animals.
19 11897712 This was supported by an increase in the number of cells containing immunoreactive proliferating cell nuclear antigen in both islet alpha- and beta-cells at E18.5 in insulin-deficient mice, and a significantly lower incidence of apoptotic cells, as determined by molecular histochemistry using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxy-UTP nick end labeling reaction.

22 14642793 Six major groups of rats with gastric ulcers were used: (1) vehicle (saline); (2) streptozotocin alone; (3) insulin (4 IU/day intraperitoneally); (4) streptozotocin plus insulin; (5) pentoxifylline, an inhibitor of synthesis and release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha); and (6) aspirin, a non-selective inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and rofecoxib, the highly selective COX-2.
23 14642793 The prolongation of the healing in diabetic animals was associated with an increase in gastric mucosal expression and release of TNFalpha, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta), suppression of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) and the mucosal overexpression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70).
24 14642793 Administration of insulin reversed the delay in ulcer healing and significantly decreased the expression of IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha, while producing the rise in the expression of VEGF and PECAM.
25 14642793 We conclude that: (1) Experimental diabetes dramatically impairs ulcer healing, depending upon the increased release of proinflammatory cytokines and the attenuation of angiogenesis that can limit the ulcer healing effects of locally produced HSP 70 and TNF-alpha. (2) Insulin reversed this impairment of ulcer healing in diabetic rats, mainly due to the enhancement of angiogenesis and reduction in expression of cytokines in the ulcer area. (3) Classic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin prolonged ulcer healing under diabetic conditions due to suppression of endogenous prostaglandins and the fall in the microcirculation at the ulcer margin and these effects were mimicked by selective, so called "safe" COX-2 inhibitor, rofecoxib, suggesting that both COX isoforms are important sources of prostaglandins that are essential in the ulcer healing in diabetes.

136 18078386 After 7 and 14 days, wounds were used to (i) confirm Ang-1 gene transfer, (ii) assess histologically the healing process, (iii) evaluate wound-breaking strength, and (iv) study new vessel formation by PECAM-1 (platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1) immunostaining.
137 18078386 Finally, we investigated VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) mRNA and protein levels, eNOS (endothelial NO synthase) expression and VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 (VEGF receptor-1 and -2 respectively) immunostaining.
138 18078386 The efficiency of Ang-1 gene transfer was confirmed by increased mRNA and protein expression of the protein. rAAV-Ang-1 significantly improved the healing process, stimulating re-epithelization and collagen maturation, increasing breaking strength and significantly augmenting the number of new vessels, as indicated by PECAM-1 immunostaining.
139 18078386 However, Ang-1 gene transfer did not modify the decrease in VEGF mRNA and protein expression in diabetic mice; in contrast, Ang-1 increased eNOS expression and augmented nitrate wound content and VEGFR-2 immunostaining and protein expression.
140 18078386 In conclusion, our results provide strong evidence that Ang-1 gene transfer improves the delayed wound repair in diabetes by inducing angiogenesis in a VEGF-independent manner.

156 18979174 Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-stimulated gene 6 (TSG-6) is involved in inflammation, extracellular matrix formation, cell migration, and development.
157 18979174 Pancreata from nondiabetic (8 and 25 weeks old), prediabetic (230-280 mg/dl blood glucose) and diabetic (>300 mg/dl blood glucose) NOD mice were stained for TSG-6, insulin, CD3, CD11c, Mac3 and CD31.
158 19424605 The Chi-square test, multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for covariates, as well as a stepwise forward selection procedure revealed that ten different polymorphisms were associated (P<0.05) with the prevalence of CKD in high- or low-risk subjects: the -519Aright curved arrow G polymorphism of MMP1, the 1061Aright curved arrow G (Ile405Val) polymorphism of CETP, the Aright curved arrow G (Lys45Glu) polymorphism of MMP3, the -219Gright curved arrow T polymorphism of APOE, the Aright curved arrow G (Ile1205Val) polymorphism of COL3A1, the -863Cright curved arrow A polymorphism of TNF, and the 1454Cright curved arrow G (Leu125Val) polymorphism of PECAM1 in high-risk subjects; and the 1167Cright curved arrow T (Asn389Asn) polymorphism of TGFBR2, the 2386Aright curved arrow G (Ile796Val) polymorphism of SCAP, and the TAAAright curved arrow del polymorphism of PDE4D in low-risk subjects.
159 19488738 Coupling factor 6 (CF6) is composed of 76 amino acids and is present in the peripheral stalk of mitochondrial ATP synthase.
160 19488738 The generation of CF6 is positively regulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha and shear stress via nuclear factor kappaB, and by high glucose via protein kinase C and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase.
161 19488738 CF6 also suppresses nitric oxide synthase activity via an increase in asymmetric dimethylarginine and a decrease in platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1.
162 19488738 CF6 induces the gene and protein expression of proatherogenic molecules such as endothelin 2, urokinase type plasminogen activator receptor, estrogen receptor beta, a soluble short form of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1, and lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1.

167 20036236 This study sought to determine the distribution of opticin, an extracellular matrix small leucine-rich repeat protein secreted by the non-pigmented ciliary body epithelium (CBE), in pathological eye tissues including posterior hyaloid membranes (PHM) and epiretinal membranes (ERM) from subjects with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).
168 20036236 Eight enucleated eyes and eleven surgically excised PHMs/ERMs from patients with PDR, CRVO or PVR were analysed by immunohistochemistry for the presence and distribution of opticin, vitreous (delineated by a type II collagen antibody) and blood vessels (using CD31 and CD34 antibodies as endothelial markers).
169 20036236 Opticin was present in 16 of the 19 PHMs/ERMs, where it was arranged in layers (10 membranes), diffusely (4 membranes) or in foci (2 membranes).
170 20036236 Where in a layered pattern, opticin co-localised with vitreous type II collagen incorporated into the membrane, whereas the other two patterns did not co-localise with type II collagen labelling.
171 20036236 Opticin was co-distributed with vitreous type II collagen and was also present in the pre-retinal membranes of proliferative retinopathies, where it could play a role in their development.
172 20089367 Immunohistochemistry plays an important role in identifying these rare entities, confirming the endothelial origin of the neoplasm with the expression of at least one of the vascular markers CD31, CD34, or factor VIII-related antigen.
173 20726708 Furthermore, low-dose radiation-induced improvement in healing was associated with increases in bone marrow and circulating CD31(+)/CD34(+) stem cells, vessel regeneration and cell proliferation in the wound tissue, and matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 expression.
174 20814070 The aim of the present study was: 1) to compare the effects of treatment with PPARg ligand (pioglitazone) on healing of acetic acid-induced gastric ulcers and prevention of acute water immersion and restraint stress (WRS)-induced gastric lesions in normal rats and those with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mellitus; 2) to assess the effects of pioglitazone on the mRNA expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), c-NOS, interleukin-1beta and hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1alpha) in the gastric mucosa of rats with or without STZ-induced diabetes mellitus; 3) to investigate the involvement of endogenous NO and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta, TNF-alpha) in healing of chronic gastric ulcers and in prevention of acute stress lesions by pioglitazone in rats with or without STZ-induced diabetes mellitus.
175 20814070 In rats with chronic ulcers, the mRNA expression of HIF-1alpha, IL-1beta and COX-2 was assessed by RT-PCR and protein expression of platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), COX-2 and cNOS was examined by Western blot.
176 20814070 In rats with stress lesions, the protein expression of COX-2, cNOS, catalase, PPAR and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) was examined by Western blot.
177 20814070 Interestingly, the ulcer healing and gastroprotective effects of pioglitazone were weak under diabetic conditions, and this effect on ulcer healing was accompanied by impaired angiogenesis due to decreased PECAM-1 expression, attenuated expression of COX-2 and the increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines compared to those in diabetic rats treated with vehicle.
178 20814070 We conclude that: 1) experimental diabetes in rats impairs healing of chronic ulcers and enhances acute stress lesions due to an increase in the expression and release of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha and IL-1beta; 2) the ulcer healing effect of pioglitazone, which is, at least in part, mediated by endogenous NO, is significantly attenuated by L-NNA in diabetic rats despite increased COX-2 expression at the ulcer edge; 3) the formation of acute gastric lesions induced by WRS is also attenuated by pretreatment with pioglitazone due to increased GBF probably mediated by NO, as the administration of L-NNA reversed, in part, the preventive action induced by this PPARgamma ligand, and 4) pioglitazone is effective both in healing of chronic ulcers and protection against WRS lesions though its action under diabetic conditions seems to be attenuated, possibly due to reduction in NOS-NO system, angiogenesis and increased expression and release of proinflammatory cytokines.

184 20816670 On molecular assay, 8-OHdG antagonized the action of GTP on Rac, a small GTP binding protein, without affecting Rac-guanosine exchange factor (GEF) or phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) activity.
185 20816670 In Raw264.7 cells, 8-OHdG was found to be associated with marked attenuations of NOX1, NOXO1, and NOXA1 accompanied with the decreased expressions of LPS-induced inflammatory mediators including COX-2, iNOS, IL-1β, and IL-6.
186 20816670 Similarly, 8-OHdG attenuated hypoxia-induced angiogenesis and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), COX-2, iNOS, IL-8, and VEGF expressions in HUVEC cells.

189 21099310 The mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) markers CD105, CD90, CD73, CD44, CD29, and CD13 are expressed, as well as nestin and vimentin.
190 21099310 Also hIPC express the pericyte markers CD146, NG2, αSMA and PDGF-Rβ.
191 21099310 Immunoflowcytometry revealed that human islets contain 2.0 ± 0.8% of CD105/CD90 double-positive cells.
192 21296212 Inter Cellular Adhesion Molecule (ICAM-1), CD31, CD36 and glycans are potential receptors for PfEMP1 of RBCs parasited by plasmodium falciparum.
193 21296212 This mutation stimulates erythropoiesis and is the cause of Lu/BCAM (CD239) phosphorylation, which potentiated the interaction with laminin alpha 5.
194 21296212 The couple laminin alpha 5 endothelial and phosphorylated Lu/BCAM explained the increased adhesion of RBCs from patients PV to endothelium.

207 21570988 Our results indicate that mDMECs isolated from mouse tails expressed most of the characteristic EC markers such as von Willebrand Factor (vWF), CD31, Tie1, Tie2, ANGPT1, ANGPT2, FLK-1, FLT-1, and VEGF-A.
208 21570988 Further characterization demonstrated that these cells also expressed proteins involved in organogenesis such as bone morphogenetic proteins-2, -4 (BMP-2/-4), and their receptor (BMPR1A).
209 21570988 Surprisingly, higher expression of vWF, ANGPT1, and BMP-2 was observed in mDMECs compared to EOMA cells.
210 21603530 The vascular smooth muscle cells exhibited positive staining for α-smooth muscle actin and the endothelial cells exhibited positive staining for CD31.
211 21616974 Serial sections were immunostained against a pan-axonal marker (PGP9.5), an axonal regenerative marker (GAP43), Schwann cells (p75) and blood vessels (CD31) to visualize regenerating structures in the dermis and epidermis.
212 21628879 The active type of coagulation factor X (factor Xa) activates various cell-types through protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2).
213 21628879 We previously reported that a factor Xa inhibitor could suppress Thy-1 nephritis.
214 21628879 Diabetic (db/db) and normoglycemic (m+/m+) mice were immunohistochemically evaluated for their expression/deposition of PAR2, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, fibrin, extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, and CD31 at week 20.
215 21628879 Significantly greater numbers of PAR2-positive cells and larger amounts of fibronectin, and collagen IV depositions were observed in the glomeruli of db/db mice than those in m+/m+ mice.
216 21628879 Next, expression of PAR2 versus deposition of collagen IV and fibronectin was compared between week 20 and week 30, and the number of PAR2-positive cells in the glomeruli decreased in contrast with the increased accumulation of ECM proteins.

218 21628879 The active type of coagulation factor X (factor Xa) activates various cell-types through protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2).
219 21628879 We previously reported that a factor Xa inhibitor could suppress Thy-1 nephritis.

221 21628879 Significantly greater numbers of PAR2-positive cells and larger amounts of fibronectin, and collagen IV depositions were observed in the glomeruli of db/db mice than those in m+/m+ mice.
222 21628879 Next, expression of PAR2 versus deposition of collagen IV and fibronectin was compared between week 20 and week 30, and the number of PAR2-positive cells in the glomeruli decreased in contrast with the increased accumulation of ECM proteins.

224 22155530 DHEA abolished adhesion and the increase of E-selectin, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, and PECAM-1 induced by glucose.
225 22159079 The PI(-)Lin(-)c-Kit(-)Sca-1(+)Flk-1(-)CD34(-)CD31(+) EPC cluster, which can differentiate into mature endothelial cells in vitro, was the highest population in the PB, BM, and spleen and occurred 61 times more in the spleen than in the PB.
226 22447857 The WNT inhibitor Dickkopf 1 and bone morphogenetic protein 4 rescue adipogenesis in hypertrophic obesity in humans.
227 22447857 Cluster of differentiation (CD)14(+)/45(+) and CD31(+) cells were first removed before the remaining stromal vascular cells of human subcutaneous biopsy specimens were differentiated with/without different WNT inhibitors and/or BMP4.
228 22447857 The positive effect of DKK1, inhibiting cellular WNT activation by binding to the Kremen/LDL receptor-related protein receptors, was not seen with inhibitors of secreted WNT ligands.
229 22447857 BMP4 increased differentiation, and BMP4 in the presence of DKK1 produced an additive effect.
230 22447857 There was an apparent cross-talk between differentiation and commitment because BMP4 expression increased in differentiating adipocytes, and the addition of the BMP4 inhibitor, Noggin, reduced precursor cell differentiation.
231 22447857 Thus, differentiated human adipose cells can promote adipogenesis via endogenous BMP4 activation, and the impaired adipogenesis in hypertrophic obesity is mainly due to an inability to suppress canonical WNT and to induce DKK1.
232 22941965 Several molecules were shown to be involved in this phenomenon: VCAM-1, α4β1, Lu/BCAM, ICAM-4.
233 22941965 In malaria, Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein1 binds to ICAM-1, PECAM-1 and facilitates the parasite dissemination.
234 22959823 The histopathological examination of resected tumor sections revealed decreased blood vessels, decrease in the levels of angiogenesis marker, CD31, and proliferation marker, Ki67, along with an increase in pAMPK levels.
235 22959823 Western blot analyses of resected tumor lysates revealed increased PARP cleavage, Bim, pAMPK along with decreased pAkt, vimentin, fibronectin, CDK4 and cyclin B1.
236 23059402 Circulating EPC and serum nitric oxide (NO) levels were measured by flow cytometry and the Greiss method, respectively. mRNA expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) in retinal tissue were quantified by Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR).
237 23059402 CD31 expression, VEGF expression and retinal vascular permeability of DR were evaluated three months after STZ administration.
238 23059402 Additionally, it decreased mRNA expression levels of iNOS, Ang-1, and Ang-2, while increasing eNOS mRNA expression in retinal tissue.
239 23255220 Cultured islets exhibited reduced expression of EC markers (VEGFR2, VE-cadherin and CD31), which was associated with diminished but sustained expression of endoglin a marker of both ECs and MSCs.
240 23255220 In vitro coculture of microvascular ECs with endoglin-positive, CD31-negative islet MSCs reduced VEGFR2 protein expression, disrupted EC angiogenic behavior, and increased EC detachment.
241 23255220 EC:MSC cocultures showed enhanced Smad2 phosphorylation consistent with altered ALK5 signaling.
242 23255220 Thus, endoglin-expressing islet MSCs influence EC ALK5 signaling in vitro, which decreases EC viability, and changes in ALK5 activity in whole cultured islets contribute to islet EC loss.
243 23255220 Cultured islets exhibited reduced expression of EC markers (VEGFR2, VE-cadherin and CD31), which was associated with diminished but sustained expression of endoglin a marker of both ECs and MSCs.
244 23255220 In vitro coculture of microvascular ECs with endoglin-positive, CD31-negative islet MSCs reduced VEGFR2 protein expression, disrupted EC angiogenic behavior, and increased EC detachment.

247 23418630 Postthymic expansion in human CD4 naive T cells defined by expression of functional high-affinity IL-2 receptors.
248 23418630 In this study we present evidence that the frequency of naive CD4 T cells that express CD25 (IL-2 receptor α-chain) increases with age on subsets of both CD31(+) and CD31(-) naive CD4 T cells.
249 23418630 Analyses of TCR excision circles from sorted subsets indicate that CD25(+) naive CD4 T cells have undergone more rounds of homeostatic proliferation than their CD25(-) counterparts in both the CD31(+) and CD31(-) subsets, indicating that CD25 is a marker of naive CD4 T cells that have preferentially responded to survival signals from self-Ags or cytokines.
250 23418630 CD25 expression on CD25(-) naive CD4 T cells can be induced by IL-7 in vitro in the absence of TCR activation.
251 23418630 Although CD25(+) naive T cells respond to lower concentrations of IL-2 as compared with their CD25(-) counterparts, IL-2 responsiveness is further increased in CD31(-) naive T cells by their expression of the signaling IL-2 receptor β-chain CD122, forming with common γ-chain functional high-affinity IL-2 receptors.
252 23418630 CD25 plays a role during activation: CD25(+) naive T cells stimulated in an APC-dependent manner were shown to produce increased levels of IL-2 as compared with their CD25(-) counterparts.
253 23418630 This study establishes CD25(+) naive CD4 T cells, which are further delineated by CD31 expression, as a major functionally distinct immune cell subset in humans that warrants further characterization in health and disease.

275 23465832 In order to induce angiogenesis in vivo we condensed modified and non-modified polymers with plasmid DNA encoding a truncated form of the therapeutic candidate gene hypoxia-inducible transcription factor 1α (HIF-1α).
276 23465832 HIF-1α is the primarily oxygen-dependent regulated subunit of the heterodimeric transcription factor HIF-1, which controls angiogenesis among other physiological pathways.
277 23465832 PLL-g-PEG polymer-mediated HIF-1α-ΔODD plasmid DNA delivery was found to lead to a transiently induced gene expression of angiogenesis-related genes Acta2 and Pecam1 as well as the HIF-1α target gene Vegf in vivo.
278 23554538 Laser-scanning confocal microscopy showed that the TLR4-positive region did not coincide with the podoplanin-positive region but coincide with the PECAM-1- and VE-cadherin-positive regions in the glomeruli of the ICR-STZ and KK/Ta-HF.
