Journal ArticleDOI
Glucocorticoid-Mediated Inhibition of Angiogenic Changes in Human Endothelial Cells Is Not Caused by Reductions in Cell Proliferation or Migration
James J. Logie,Sadaf Ali,Kathryn M. Marshall,Margarete M. S. Heck,Brian R. Walker,Patrick W. F. Hadoke +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that glucocorticoids interact directly with glucoc Corticoid receptors on vascular ECs to inhibit TLS formation, which was conserved in ECs from two distinct vascular territories, was due to alterations in cell morphology rather than inhibition of EC viability, migration or proliferation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intra-vascular glucocorticoid metabolism as a modulator of vascular structure and function.
Patrick W. F. Hadoke,Linsay J. Macdonald,James J. Logie,Gary R. Small,Anna R. Dover,Brian R. Walker +5 more
TL;DR: There is evidence that 11HSDs influence glucocorticoid-mediated changes in vascular contractility, vascular structure, the inflammatory response to injury and the growth of new blood vessels, so inhibition of 11HSD isozymes may provide a novel therapeutic target in vascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kisspeptin-10 Inhibits Angiogenesis in Human Placental Vessels ex Vivo and Endothelial Cells in Vitro
T. Ramaesh,James J. Logie,Antonia K. Roseweir,Robert P. Millar,Robert P. Millar,Brian R. Walker,Patrick W. F. Hadoke,Rebecca M. Reynolds +7 more
TL;DR: KP-10 has antiangiogenic effects and, given its high expression in the placenta, may contribute to the regulation of angiogenesis in this tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
A role for kisspeptins in pregnancy: facts and speculations
TL;DR: The literature regarding the role and physiological significance of kisspeptin in pregnancy is reviewed and some of the key questions that require addressing are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of kisspeptin levels in obese pregnancy as a biomarker for pre‐eclampsia
James J. Logie,Fiona C. Denison,Simon C. Riley,T. Ramaesh,Shareen Forbes,Jane E. Norman,Rebecca M. Reynolds +6 more
TL;DR: The aims were to assess analytical and clinical performance characteristics of a commercial kisspeptin assay and to determine sensitivity and specificity of the test for pre‐eclampsia.
