(author), Helmerhorst, F.M. (author), van Hinsbergh, V.W.M. (author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)In the endometrium, angiogenesis is a physiological process, whereas in most adult tissues neovascularization is initiated only during tissue repair or pathological conditions. Pericellular proteolysis plays an important role in angiogenesis being required for endothelial cell migration, invasion, and tube formation. We studied the expression of...article 2004

(author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)Previous studies demonstrated that the thrombin-induced permeability of endothelial cell monolayers is reduced by the elevation of cGMP. In the present study, the presence of cGMP-dependent protein kinase (cGMP-PK) immunoreactivity and activity in various types of human endothelial cells (ECs) and the role of cGMP-PK in the reduction of thrombin...article 1995

van Hinsbergh, V.W.M. (author), Sprengers, E.D. (author), Kooistra, T. (author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)Human foreskin microvascular endothelial cells synthesize and release tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) in similar amounts as do endothelial cells from umbilical cord artery and vein. Human thrombin increases the production of t-PA by these cells, which could be visualized from 8 h after addition of 0.1-5 units/ml thrombin by fibrin...article 1987
