Project description:We investigated the role of SNO-GNIA2 in HG+oxLDL-induced endothelial inflammation during the development of diabetes-accelerated atherosclerosis and found that SNO-GNAI2 could promote endothelial inflammation through dysregulating Hippo-YAP . We hypothesized that SNO-GNAI2 induced Hippo-YAP dysfunction through enhancing coupling and activating G-protein coupling receptors (GPCRs).
Project description:HUVECs stimulated with HG+oxLDL or Mannitol+nLDL were subjected to the biotin-switch assay to enrich the S-nitrosylated proteins, the S-nitrosylated proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and gels were silver stained. Mass spectrometry was conducted to determine proteins with S-nitrosylation.
Project description:total RNA profiling of human primary monocytes comparing control untreated oxLDL cells with oxLDL cells for different time (6h and 12h), The latter makes monocytes to macrophage and foam cells.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to investigate the responses of HUVECs after the stimulation of conidia of A. fumigatus Methods: HUVECs were stimulated with conidia of Aspergillus fumigatus for 2 and 6 hours. Three biological repeats of stimulated cells or un-stimulated controls were send for RNA sequencing. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 40 million sequence reads per sample to the human genome (build hg38) and identified round 80,000 transcripts in the HUVECs upon stimulation. Conclusions: Our resutls showed the detailed analysis of HUVECs transcriptomes upton conidia of Aspergillus fumigatus stimulation.
Project description:HUVECs were stimulated and samples were prepared after 0 and 30 min. Chromatin interaction mediated by active RNA polymerase II was detected by ChIA-PET.

Project description:IL-6 family cytokines as OSM and CNTF modify angiogenesis to different degree. This study investigates to which extend treatment of endothelial cells with those cytokines can modify VEGF induced angiogenic reactions. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated for 24h by cytokines followed by RNA harvesting and processed for RNA sequencing.
Project description:Purpose: In recent years, research has revealed the role of microRNAs (miRs) as important regulators of endothelial function. Notably, miR-125a is upregulated in the blood of patients with acute vascular diseases. Since miRNAs act out their function in networks, we aimed at investigating the presence of a miR-125a-related network regulating the endothelial barrier. Method: We investigated transcriptional changes of human umbilical cord endothelial cells (HUVEC) after miR-125a overexpression in an acute inflammatory in-vitro setting using Next Generation Sequencing. Briefly, primary HUVECs from five different donors were transfected either with hsa-miR-125a-5p or negative control (NC). After transfection HUVECs were cultivated for 18 hours and stimulated with TNF (25 ng/ml) for additional 6 hours. We compared the following groups: NC (18047-0001, 18047-0002, 18047-0003, 18047-0004, 18047-0005) versus miR125a: (18047-0006, 18047-0007, 18047-0008, 18047-0009, 18047-0010) Results: MiR-125a overexpression in inflammatory activated HUVECs significantly altered gene expression of 468 genes (FC: +1.25 to -1.25 p<0.01). We found eight potential miR-125a direct target genes involved in endothelial barrier function.
