cardiovascular system
• endothelial cells in the retina show a decrease in filopodia number, suggesting decreased motility of endothelial sprouts
|
• P5 retinal vasculature shows a slight, but significant, decrease in vascular outgrowth
• however, no differences in retinal endothelial cell proliferation or in density of retinal vasculature are seen and no difference in endothelial cell sprout number in retinas is seen, indicating normal tip-stalk cell specification
|
• mice inoculated with Lewis lung carcinoma cells or melanoma cells on the flanks show a 30% decrease in vessel density, however no differences in tumor growth are seen, indicating decreased tumor angiogenesis
|
• P5 retinal vasculature shows a slight but significant decrease in vascular outgrowth, indicating impaired angiogenesis
|
• endothelial cells are less responsive to VEGF-A
|
• VEGF-A165-induced vascular permeability is reduced
• however, histamine and VEGF-A121 vascular permeability is undistinguishable from wild-type mice
|
cellular
• mice show reduced polymorphonuclear leukocyte extravasation at both 2 and 4 hours after interleukin-1beta-induced inflammation of the peritoneum
• the decreased leukocyte extravasation is due to reduced transmigration and not rolling or adhesion to the epithelium
• however, no structural differences in adherens and tight junctions are seen
|
hematopoietic system
• mice show reduced polymorphonuclear leukocyte extravasation at both 2 and 4 hours after interleukin-1beta-induced inflammation of the peritoneum
• the decreased leukocyte extravasation is due to reduced transmigration and not rolling or adhesion to the epithelium
• however, no structural differences in adherens and tight junctions are seen
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• following middle cerebral artery occlusion to induce ischemic stroke, mice exhibit a 50% decrease in edema-corrected lesion volumes and the affected hemisphere space-occupying effect attributable to brain edema
|
immune system
• mice show reduced polymorphonuclear leukocyte extravasation at both 2 and 4 hours after interleukin-1beta-induced inflammation of the peritoneum
• the decreased leukocyte extravasation is due to reduced transmigration and not rolling or adhesion to the epithelium
• however, no structural differences in adherens and tight junctions are seen
|
neoplasm
• mice inoculated with Lewis lung carcinoma cells or melanoma cells on the flanks show a 30% decrease in vessel density, however no differences in tumor growth are seen, indicating decreased tumor angiogenesis
|
nervous system
• following middle cerebral artery occlusion to induce ischemic stroke, mice exhibit a 50% decrease in edema-corrected lesion volumes and the affected hemisphere space-occupying effect attributable to brain edema
|
vision/eye
• P5 retinal vasculature shows a slight, but significant, decrease in vascular outgrowth
• however, no differences in retinal endothelial cell proliferation or in density of retinal vasculature are seen and no difference in endothelial cell sprout number in retinas is seen, indicating normal tip-stalk cell specification
