Article Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is one of the most important pathological events during the development of several diabetic complications including stroke. The aim of this work was to investigate the role of actin depolymerizing factor (ADF) in advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs)-induced impairment in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (MBMECs). Incubation of MBMECs with AGEs led to downregulation of expression of ADF, which was reversed by treatment with soluble receptor of AGEs or tempol (an antioxidant). Incubation of MBMECs with AGEs enhanced ratio of F/G-actin, increased endothelial permeability and reduced vasculogenic property, which was attenuated by overexpression of ADF. Furthermore, overexpression of ADF attenuated AGEs-induced downregulation of zonula occludens-1 and dephosphorylation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2. Incubation of MBMECs with AGEs downregulated dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2, enhanced formation of asymmetric dimethylarginine and reduced formation of nitric oxide, which was attenuated by overexpression of ADF. Incubation of MBMECs with AGEs induced activation of NF-κB, upregulated RAGE and enhanced formation of reactive oxygen species, which was attenuated by overexpression of ADF. Additionally, knockdown of ADF aggravated AGEs-induced impairment in endothelial permeability and vasculogenic property in MBMECs. In conclusion, AGEs treatment increased endothelial permeability and reduced vasculogenic property of MBMECs, at least in part, via downregulation of ADF.

Article Synopsis
- Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by various pathological features including amyloid-β deposition and tau hyperphosphorylation, with cerebral microvascular dysfunction likely playing a role in its progression.
- Researchers investigated the microvascular responses and potassium channel activity in an AD mouse model induced by streptozotocin (STZ), using behavioral tests and cellular assays.
- The study found that STZ-AD mice showed poorer performance on behavioral tests and had impaired microvascular responses, which were further deteriorated by exposure to soluble Aβ, indicating a potential link between microvascular dysfunction and AD pathology.

4-pyridone-3-carboxamide-1β-D-ribonucleoside (4PYR) is a derivative of nicotinamide found physiologically in human body fluids that can be metabolized to mono-, di- or triphosphate derivatives (4PYMP, 4PYDP and 4PYTP respectively) and an analogue of NAD - the 1-β-D-ribonucleoside-4-pyridone-3-carboxamide adenine dinucleotide (4PYRAD) in human cells. The European Uremic Toxin Work Group (EUTox) has classified 4PYR as a uremic toxin that adversely affects endothelium. This study aimed to investigate the metabolism of 4PYR in murine brain microvascular endothelial cells (mBMECs).

The study was performed to investigate the role of sonic hedgehog (SHH) in the oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL)-induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. The primary mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (MBMECs) were exposed to oxLDL. The results indicated that treatment of MBMECs with oxLDL decreased the cell viability, and oxidative stress was involved in oxLDL-induce MBMECs dysfunction with increasing intracellular ROS and MDA formation as well as decreasing NO release and eNOS mRNA expression.

Objective: To investigate the effects of murine bone marrow endothelial cell conditioned medium (mBMEC-CM) on the growth of yolk sac hematopoietic progenitors.
Methods: The serum-free mBMEC-CM was obtained from subcultures of murine endothelial cell line derived from bone marrow which was established in our laboratory. The murine yolk sacs were harvested on day 8.
