Abstract

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-Notch signaling pathway plays an important role in aplastic anemia (AA). This study aimed to evaluate the regulatory roles of VEGF-Notch signaling pathway on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from AA patients with kidney deficiency and blood stasis (KB) (AA MSCs). Expression of VEGF-Notch signaling related factors, including VEGF, VEGFR, Notch-1, Jagged1, Delta-like1, and hes1 was detected in bone marrow (BM) tissues and AA MSCs by Western blot analysis. VEGF (100 ng/mL) and γ-secretase inhibitor (DAPT) (10 μM) was used to active and inhibit VEGF-Notch signaling in AA MSCs, respectively. After treatment, the proliferation, apoptosis, and adipogenic differentiation of AA MSCs was detected by Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry, and Oil red O staining, respectively. Lentivirus short hairpin RNA (shRNA) were constructed to downregulate Notch-1 and VEGF in normal bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and the effects of VEGF/Notch-1 shRNA transfected BMSCs on the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were evaluated. Significantly lower expression of VEGF, VEGFR, Notch-1, Jagged1, Delta-like1, and hes1 was revealed in AA BM ti...Continue Reading

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

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

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.
