Endothelial-derived CAP Characterization and determination of its role in monocyte/endothelial interactions [Taunia Denise Lee] on *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Cationic antimicrobial protein of 37 kd (CAP37), originally isolated from human neutrophils, is an important multifunctional inflammatory mediator.

Here we describe its localization within the vascular endothelium associated with atherosclerotic plaques. Evidence from in vitroimmunocytochemical, Northern blot, and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis indicates that CAP37 is induced in endothelial Cited by: CAP37, a Novel Inflammatory Mediator: Its Expression in Endothelial Cells and Localization to Atherosclerotic Lesions.

Endothelial-derived CAP37 shows sequence identity with an extensive region of neutrophil-derived CAP This is the first demonstration of endogenous endothelial CAP37, confirmed by. In this example of atherosclerosis we speculate that CAP37 (either platelet, PMN, or endothelial derived) is responsible for endothelial cell contraction and permeability7, 28 as well as monocyte migration into the intima.

Our immunohistochemical data on atherosclerotic lesions demonstrate that the expression of CAP37 protein is not confined solely to the endothelium but is also detected Cited by: Since CAP37 is a potent activator of endothelial cells and monocytes, two of the key cellular components of the atherosclerotic plaque, this study was undertaken to determine whether CAP37 had.

Endothelial-derived gene EG-1 was discovered in Although first cloned from a human endothelial cell cDNA library (Angiogenesis), EG-1’s transcript has been shown to be present in other cell types as well, particularly in epithelial cells (Epithelial Tumors).

The calculated mass of EG-1 is 19, Da based on amino acid sequence alone, whereas the native complete protein is ~22 kDa.

An endothelial dysfunction linked to an imbalance in the synthesis and/or the release of these various endothelial factors may explain the initiation of cardiovascular pathologies (from hypertension to atherosclerosis) or their development and perpetuation.

The endothelium, a monolayer of endothelial cells, constitutes the inner cellular lining of the blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and the.

The endothelium forms an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall.

Endothelial cells form the barrier between vessels and tissue and control the flow of substances and fluid into and out of a on: Lining of the inner surface of blood. Endothelial cells release phenotypically and quantitatively distinct MPs in activation and apoptosis.

As a result, MPs are sufficiently distinguished each other on their ability to contain some antigen presentation [26] and inner components, i.e.

Nitric oxide, prostacyclin, endothelin (ET) and endothelial‐derived hyperpolarizing factor are powerful vasoactive substances released from the endothelium in response to both humoral and mechanical stimuli, and can profoundly affect both the function and structure of the underlying vascular smooth muscle.
