Silencing of endoglin in rat hepatic stellate cells by RNA interference identifies endoglin as an important component of the transdifferentiation process
… thesis was the functional characterization of endoglin in hepatic stellate cells (HSC). This characterization was performed particularly with regard to the impact and the function of endoglin in the transdifferentiation process of HSC into myofibroblast-like cells (MFB). Transdifferentiation of …

THE ROLE OF BMP SIGNALING AND ENDOGLIN IN REGULATION OF HEMATOPOIESIS
… Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP) and Endoglin in adult hematopoiesis. Several publications have described the importance of BMP signaling in specification of hematopoietic tissue in developing embryos. In Article I and II, we investigate the full role of BMP signaling in adult mice, …

Einfluss von BMP-7 und Endoglin auf den TGF-beta Signalweg bei fibrosierenden Lebererkrankungen
… TGF-b1 pathway and to characterize the role of endoglin within these two pathways. Using the endoglin deficient myoblast cell line L6E9 it was possible to show the antagonistic character of these two cytokines and further to determine their involvement within the myogenic differentiation. Both …

Lösliches Endoglin (sCD105) : diagnostische Wertigkeit bei chronischen Lebererkrankungen und funktionelle Bedeutung für die Signaltransduction von transforming growth factor (TGF-beta)
… the diagnostic potential and value of solube endoglin in patients with liver cirrhosis at high-risk of HCC was investigated. In addition, we elucidated the functional impact of heterologously expressed soluble endoglin on TGF-b1/Smad3 signaling by using an artificial reporter system for the …

N-linked glycosylation at position ASN98 of the ALK1 receptor protein: relevance for ALK1 function and HHT pathogenesis
… growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily: endoglin and activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1). These mutations result in development of HHT Type 1 and HHT Type 2, respectively. Patients suffering from HHT experience spontaneous blood vessel growth that can lead to telangiectasia, …

Análise de Variantes Genéticas no gene da Endoglina em Leucemias Linfoblásticas Agudas de Células B Pediátricas
Introduction: Endoglin (ENG, CD105) is a co-receptor part of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) family, described as a powerful marker of the angiogenesis process. Recently, endoglin (ENG) has been increasingly studied in the context of hematopoietic neoplasms. ENG expression is reported …

Untersuchung der Gefäßdichte bei metastasierten und nicht-metastasierten Magenkarzinomen
… two antibodies. One of these reacts with CD105 (Endoglin) and the other with CD34, a cell surface glycoprotein. The number of blood vessels was determined in three visual fields at x200 magnification. In most cases the vessel density was higher within the tumour than in the tumour border. A …

Characterisation of BMP Processing and Signalling in Adipocytes
… and angiogenesis. Interestingly, I found that Endoglin, a known co-receptor for BMP9 and BMP10 in endothelial cells, is also highly expressed in adipocytes. Knocking out Endoglin in mouse primary brown and white preadipocytes reduced BMP9 and BMP4 signalling, uncovering a potential new aspect …

Markers and mechanisms of pre-eclampsia in pregnancies complicated by diabetes
… fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFlt-1) and soluble endoglin (sEng) from placental trophoblasts into the maternal circulation promotes endothelial dysfunction associated with pre-eclampsia. The aim of this thesis was to investigate whether modified lipoproteins and/or elevated glucose have a role in …

Phenotypic and functional analysis of organ specific endothelial cells
… type in response to pro-inflammatory insult (Endoglin, CD34, CD31). Some artefacts of immortalisation were also apparent (VCAM-1 expression in mUCEC-1 and LYVE-1 in s.END). Functional assays indicated small differences in cell types and further microarray analysis elucidated further …

The Role of Type III Transforming Growth Factor-β Receptor in Regulating ALK1 Signaling and Endothelial Biology
… canonical endothelium-restricted co-receptor, endoglin. Moreover, using biophysical and biochemical techniques, we have established that TβRIII forms stable complexes with ALK1. Through genetic knockout approaches using CRISPR, we demonstrate that loss of TβRIII impairs ALK1-induced Smad …

Role of plasma membrane ATPase4 in the pathophysiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension
… PAH-associated receptors (BMPR2, ALK1, TGFβR1, Endoglin) was evaluated in lung RNA from PMCA4 wild-type and knockout mice by qPCR, showing no significant differences. In vitro, stimulation of human PAECs and HUVECs with TNF-α and cycloheximide (CHX) significantly reduced PMCA4 mRNA and protein …

Preeclampsia Link to Gestational Hypoxia
… soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase and soluble endoglin. Upstream adverse consequences on the hypoxic ewe included evidence of an angiogenic imbalance in maternal plasma, increased constrictor reactivity in isolated uterine and femoral arteries, impaired glomerular ultrafiltration, increased …

The role of mast cells in a mouse model of focal cerebral ischaemia
… in both mouse strains. However, endothelin-1, endoglin and matrixmetaloproteinase-9 were highly expressed in the WT mice, but not in the Kit mice forty five minutes post tMCAo. Further studies are required to elucidate whether the absence of these mediators is responsible for the reduced …

Investigation of the therapeutic potential of recombinant BMP10 in an adult mouse model of HHT1 and the crosstalk between BMP and VEGF signalling
… (HHT) is caused by mutations in ENG, encoding endoglin protein which is a coreceptor for BMP9 and BMP10. Endothelial-specific, homozygous deletion of Eng in adult mice (Eng-iKOe) has been shown to model the HHT phenotype, with the development of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the pubic …

Bone morphogenetic proteins 9 & 10 in pulmonary arterial hypertension
… forms a signalling complex, with ALK1 and endoglin, specific to endothelial cells which maintains vascular quiescence. BMP9 and BMP10 are the high affinity ligands for this signalling complex. Administering exogenous BMP9 has been shown to reverse disease in animal models of PAH, so the …
