Article Abstract
Objective: Angiogenesis is an integral part of many physiological processes but may also aggravate pathological conditions such as cancer. Development of effective angiogenesis inhibitors requires a thorough understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating vessel formation. The aim of this project was to identify proteins that regulate tubular morphogenesis of endothelial cells.
Methods And Results: Phosphotyrosine-dependent affinity-purification and mass spectrometry showed tyrosine phosphorylation of ninein during tubular morphogenesis of endothelial cells. Ninein was recently identified as a centrosomal microtubule-anchoring protein. Our results show that ninein is localized in the cytoplasm in endothelial cells, and that it is highly expressed in the vasculature in normal and pathological human tissues. Using embryoid bodies as a model of vascular development, we found that ninein is abundantly expressed in the cytoplasm of endothelial cells during sprouting angiogenesis, in particular in the sprouting tip-cell. In accordance, siRNA-dependent silencing of ninein in endothelial cells inhibited tubular morphogenesis.
Conclusions: In this study, we show that ninein is expressed in developing vessels and in endothelial tip cells, and that ninein is critical for formation of the vascular tube. These data strongly implicate ninein as an important new regulator of angiogenesis.

Background: Angiosarcoma is a rapidly proliferating vascular tumor that originates in endothelial cells of vessels. Rarely, it can be associated with consumptive coagulopathy due to disseminated intravascular coagulation eventually leading to thrombocytopenia and microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. This specific manifestation is termed Kasabach-Merritt syndrome.

Background: The simultaneous differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) into both endodermal and mesodermal lineages is crucial for developing complex, vascularized tissues, yet poses significant challenges. This study explores a method for co-differentiation of mesoderm and endoderm, and their subsequent differentiation into pancreatic progenitors (PP) with endothelial cells (EC).
Methods: Two hPSC lines were utilized.

Background: Hemorrhagic shock (HS) corresponds to absolute hypovolemia creating an imbalance between oxygen supply and consumption. This causes an impaired hemostasis, a systemic inflammatory response, and microvascular permeability which can lead to multiple organ failure (MOF). There is no specific treatment for the endothelial dysfunction that plays a major role in the evolution towards MOF.

Immortalized epithelial cell lines and animal models have been used in fundamental and preclinical research to study pulmonary diseases. However valuable, though, these models incompletely recapitulate the human lung, which leads to low predictive outcomes in potential respiratory treatments. Advanced technology and cell culture techniques stimulate the development of improved models that more closely mimic the physiology of the human lung.

This study aims to explore the potential of using resveratrol (RES) to treat diabetic retinopathy (DR), as well as the involved molecular mechanisms underlying RES-mediated protection against DR. High concentration of glucose (HG)-induced Human retinal capillary endothelial cells (HRCECs) cell model and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DR mice model were established. Then, cell viability, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, pro-inflammatory factors, and expression of the related proteins SIRT1, HMGB1, VEGF, and CD31 were assayed by a series of cell biology methods.
