Nicotine stimulates angiogenesis and promotes tumor growth and atherosclerosis
Christopher Heeschen,James J. Jang,Michael Weis,Anjali Pathak,Shuichiro Kaji,Robert S. Hu,Philip S. Tsao,Frances L. Johnson,John P. Cooke +8 more
TL;DR: In mouse models of lung cancer and atherosclerosis, it was found that nicotine enhanced lesion growth in association with an increase in lesion vascularity, and these effects were mediated through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at nicotine concentrations that are pathophysiologically relevant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nicotine accelerates angiogenesis and wound healing in genetically diabetic mice.
Johannes Jacobi,James J. Jang,Uma Sundram,Hayan Dayoub,Luis F. Fajardo,Luis F. Fajardo,John P. Cooke +6 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, agonist-induced stimulation of nAChRs accelerates wound healing in diabetic mice by promoting angiogenesis, and which is a potential target for therapeuticAngiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angiogenesis Is Impaired by Hypercholesterolemia Role of Asymmetric Dimethylarginine
TL;DR: The derangement of the NO synthase pathway that occurs in hypercholesterolemia is associated with an impairment of angiogenesis, which can be reversed by oral administration of l-arginine and mimicked in normocholesterolemic animals by administration of anNO synthase antagonist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental Endothelial Locus-1 (Del-1), a Novel Angiogenic Protein Its Role in Ischemia
Hoai Ky V. Ho,James J. Jang,Shuichiro Kaji,Gary Spektor,Annie Fong,Phillip C. Yang,Bob S. Hu,Randy Schatzman,Thomas Quertermous,John P. Cooke +9 more
TL;DR: Exogenous intramuscular administration of Del-1 significantly enhances angiogenesis in the murine ischemic hindlimb, an effect that is dependent on the RGD motif and a second signaling sequence in the discoidin-I–like domain.
Patent
Nicotine in therapeutic angiogenesis and vasculogenesis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present methods for induction of angiogenesis by administration of nicotine or other nicotine receptor agonist, which can be used in the treatment of ischemic syndromes such as coronary or peripheral arterial disease.
