Journal ArticleDOI
Physical and biomechanical characteristics of rat cervical ripening are not consistent with increased collagenase activity.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify, discriminate, and quantify the physical characteristics of rat cervix during pregnancy, labor, and both before and after exposure to either prostaglandin (PGE 2 ) or the collagenolytic enzyme matrix metalloprotease-1 (MMP-1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of VEGF-C and activation of its receptors VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 in trophoblast
Caroline Dunk,Asif Ahmed +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the decreased expression of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 may contribute to the abnormal villous development observed in IUGR placenta.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localisation of members of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family and their receptors in human atherosclerotic arteries.
TL;DR: Direct evidence is provided of the presence of V EGF proteins and receptors in human physiology and pathology, with variations in both the amounts of VEGF proteins expressed and their cellular distribution in normal arteries compared with atherosclerotic arteries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of Proteinase-Activated Receptor 2 Stimulates Soluble Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 1 Release via Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Transactivation in Endothelial Cells
Bahjat Al-Ani,Peter W. Hewett,Melissa J. Cudmore,Takeshi Fujisawa,Mahmoud Saifeddine,Hannah Williams,Wenda Ramma,Samir Sissaoui,Padma-Sheela Jayaraman,Motoi Ohba,Shakil Ahmad,Morley D. Hollenberg,Asif Ahmed +12 more
TL;DR: Results show that endothelial PAR-2 activation leading to increased sVEGFR-1 release may contribute to the maternal vascular dysfunction observed in preeclampsia and highlights thePAR-2 pathway as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of preeclampia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon monoxide inhibits sprouting angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 phosphorylation
Shakil Ahmad,Peter W. Hewett,Takeshi Fujisawa,Samir Sissaoui,Meng Cai,Geraldine Gueron,Bahjat Al-Ani,Melissa J. Cudmore,S. Faraz Ahmed,Michael K.K. Wong,Barbara Wegiel,Barbara Wegiel,Leo E. Otterbein,Leo E. Otterbein,Libor Vítek,Wenda Ramma,Keqing Wang,Asif Ahmed +17 more
TL;DR: Exposure to CO inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced endothelial cell actin reorganisation, cell proliferation, migration and capillary-like tube formation and points to a potential therapeutic use for CO as an anti-angiogenic agent in tumour suppression.
