Chuanxiong Rhizoma, the dried rhizome of Hort., is a commonly used drug for promoting blood circulation and dissipating congestion. Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), the main active ingredient of , has significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vascular protective effects. However, the protective properties and underlying mechanisms of TMP against endothelial injury-induced insufficient angiogenesis and thrombosis have not been elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to explore the protective effects of TMP on endothelial injury and its antithrombotic effects and study the mechanism. experiments showed that TMP could alleviate hydrogen peroxide- (HO-) induced endothelial injury of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the protective mechanism might be related to the regulation of MAPK signaling pathway, and its antioxidative and antiapoptotic effects. experiments showed that TMP restored PTK787-induced damage to intersegmental vessels (ISVs) in transgenic (Flik) zebrafish larvae. Similarly, adrenalin hydrochloride- (AH-) induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and thrombosis in AB strain zebrafish were inhibited by TMP. RT-qPCR assay proved that TMP could inhibit the expression of fga, fgb, fgg, f7, and von Willebrand factor (vWF) mRNA to exert an antithrombotic effect. Our findings suggest that TMP can contribute to endothelial injury protection and antithrombosis by modulating MAPK signaling and attenuating oxidative stress and antiapoptosis.

Ventricular arrhythmias induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury limits the therapeutic effect of early reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction. This study investigated the protective effects of the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) agonist clenbuterol against ischemia/reperfusion-induced arrhythmias and the underlying mechanism. Anesthetized rats were subjected to 10-min left coronary artery occlusion and 10-min reperfusion in vivo.

Background And Aims: Members of the CCN matricellular protein family are crucial in various biological processes. This study aimed to characterize vascular cell-specific effects of CCN5 on neointimal formation and its role in preventing in-stent restenosis (ISR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: Stent-implanted porcine coronary artery RNA-seq and mouse injury-induced femoral artery neointima single-cell RNA sequencing were performed.

The glycocalyx is an essential structural and functional component of endothelial cells. Extensive hemodynamic changes cause endothelial glycocalyx disruption and vascular dysfunction, leading to multiple arterial and venous disorders. Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a common disorder of the lower extremities with major health and socio-economic implications, but complex pathophysiology.

Tumor heterogeneity plays a pivotal role in tumor progression and resistance to clinical treatment. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) enables us to explore heterogeneity within a cell population and identify rare cell types, thereby improving our design of targeted therapeutic strategies. Here, we use a pan-cancer and pan-tissue single-cell transcriptional landscape to reveal heterogeneous expression patterns within malignant cells, precancerous cells, as well as cancer-associated stromal and endothelial cells.

Previous studies have shown that the Phlegm-Eliminating and Stasis- Transforming Decoction (Huayu Qutan Decoction, HYQTD) has mitochondrial protective function. The objective of this research was to explore how HYQTD drug-containing serum (HYQTD-DS) could potentially protect mitochondrial energy production in endothelial cells (ECs) from injury caused by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage in AS through SIRT1/PGC-1α/ Nrf2 pathway.
