Abstract

Gliomas are one of the most common and most aggressive types of central nervous system tumor. Angiogenesis is an important basis for the growth of solid tumors, including gliomas, which is regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the mechanism remains unclear. Recently, it was demonstrated that miR‑24 was upregulated in gliomas, so the aim of the present study is to establish whether the dysregulation of miR‑24 in glioma cells promotes microvascular proliferation of endothelial cells (ECs), and to investigate the potential mechanism. miR‑24 was overexpressed or downregulated in U251 glioma cell line cells using miR‑24 mimics or inhibitors, respectively. Subsequently, the effects of conditional medium from miR‑24 mimic‑ or inhibitor‑transfected U251 cells on cell viability, migration and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) were examined. The expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) mRNA, epidermal growth factor (EGF) mRNA, transforming growth factor (TGF)‑β mRNA, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)‑2 mRNA and MMP‑9 mRNA, and the mRNA and protein levels of VEGF and TGF‑β in miR‑24 mimic‑ or inhibitor‑transfected U251 cells were obtained by reverse transcr...Continue Reading

Arterial-Venous in Development & Disease

Arterial-venous development may play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. Here is the latest research.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins.
