AI Article Synopsis

  • Angiogenesis is important for various diseases, including cancer and inflammation, but the regulatory role of CD82 in this process is not well understood.
  • Research using Cd82-null mice showed that the absence of CD82 significantly increases angiogenic responses in endothelial cells by enhancing their migration and invasion capabilities.
  • The study concludes that CD82 inhibits pathological angiogenesis by regulating cell movement and interactions with cell adhesion molecules, as well as modulating lipid raft dynamics and related signaling.

Article Abstract

Background: Angiogenesis is crucial for many pathological processes and becomes a therapeutic strategy against diseases ranging from inflammation to cancer. The regulatory mechanism of angiogenesis remains unclear. Although tetraspanin CD82 is widely expressed in various endothelial cells (ECs), its vascular function is unknown.

Methods And Results: Angiogenesis was examined in Cd82-null mice with in vivo and ex vivo morphogenesis assays. Cellular functions, molecular interactions, and signaling were analyzed in Cd82-null ECs. Angiogenic responses to various stimuli became markedly increased upon Cd82 ablation. Major changes in Cd82-null ECs were enhanced migration and invasion, likely resulting from the upregulated expression of cell adhesion molecules such as CD44 and integrins at the cell surface and subsequently elevated outside-in signaling. Gangliosides, lipid raft clustering, and CD44-membrane microdomain interactions were increased in the plasma membrane of Cd82-null ECs, leading to less clathrin-independent endocytosis and then more surface presence of CD44.

Conclusions: Our study reveals that CD82 restrains pathological angiogenesis by inhibiting EC movement, that lipid raft clustering and cell adhesion molecule trafficking modulate angiogenic potential, that transmembrane protein modulates lipid rafts, and that the perturbation of CD82-ganglioside-CD44 signaling attenuates pathological angiogenesis.

The gut microbiota is a complex and dynamic ecosystem that plays a crucial role in human health and disease, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer. Chronic inflammation is a common feature of these diseases and is closely related to angiogenesis (the process of forming new blood vessels), which is often dysregulated in pathological conditions. Inflammation potentially acts as a central mediator.

Ischaemic stroke is one of the major diseases affecting human health, involving complex and diverse pathological mechanisms, including inflammatory response, oxidative stress and angiogenesis. Sodium ferulate (SF) exerts a protective effect on cerebral ischaemia/reperfusion and when combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), has a considerable therapeutic effect on brain injury in rats. Here, we speculate that SF also exerts cerebroprotective effects.
