Vascular endothelium: vasoactive mediators

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases
P M Vanhoutte, J V Mombouli

Abstract

In most blood vessels, the endothelium generates both vasodilator and growth-stabilizing mediators under normal physiological circumstances. The vasodilator influence of the endothelium modulates the vasoconstriction induced by adrenergic nerves, bloodborne substances, and local autacoids. Nitric oxide (NO) is a major endothelium-derived vasodilator, along with prostacyclin. A third substance called endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors (EDHF) mediates vasodilatation in certain conduit arteries and in most resistance vessels. EDHF may be a cytochrome P-450 metabolite of arachidonic acid. NO acts mostly through an elevation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate in vascular smooth muscle, whereas prostacyclin stimulates adenylate cyclase. The mode of action of EDHF involves the activation of K+ channels. The multiplicity of the factors released by the endothelium, as well as the complexity of the interactions among these factors and those with other nonendothelial mediators, determine the extent of vasomotor control exerted locally by the endothelium.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
