Increase of vascular endothelial growth factor mRNA expression by 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D3 in human osteoblast‐like cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PTH, IGF‐I, and most potently 1, 25‐(OH)2D3 stimulate the mRNA expression and secretion of VEGF in human osteoblast‐like cells, suggesting that one of the anabolic effects of 1,25‐ (OH) 2D3 on skeletal tissue may be mediated by V EGF produced by osteoblasts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Ryudocan from Endothelium-like Cells Binds Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor, Midkine, and Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor

TL;DR: The findings suggest that ryudocan may possess multiple biological functions, such as bFGF modulation, neurite growth promotion, and anticoagulation, via HS-binding effectors in the cellular microenvironment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasma immunoreactive endothelin, but not thrombomodulin, is increased in patients with essential hypertension and ischemic heart disease.

TL;DR: The results suggest that ET plays an important role in the pathophysiology of EH and ischemic heart disease, and also that increases in plasma ET cannot be simply attributed to a leakage of the peptide from the injured endothelial cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Is big endothelin converted to endothelin-1 in circulating blood?

TL;DR: Results suggest that circulating blood may not be a major site of molecular conversion from big ET-1 toET-1, although conversion does occur in the circulation by blood cell-mediated process.
