## Abstract Human neutrophil peptides (HNP) kill microorganisms but also modulate immune responses through upregulation of the chemokine ILโ8 by activation of the nucleotide P2Y~6~ receptor. However, the intracellular signaling mechanisms remain yet to be determined. Human lung epithelial cells (A5
Oxygen consumption was compared in confluent cultures of endothelial cells from human umbilical cord veins, rat pulmonary arteries, and bovine aortas. A microrespirometric method utilizing oxygenated hemoglobin as oxygen supply and indicator of respiration was used. Respiratory rate was equal in hum
## Abstract Thrombin, a multifunctional serine protease, is generated at the site with vascular injuries. It not only participates in the coagulation cascade, but also can induce a lot of events related to cell mitogenesis and migration. In this study, we investigated the effect of thrombin on endo
## Abstract Thrombin increases the cytosolic Ca^2+^ concentrations and induces NO production by activating proteinaseโactivated receptor 1 (PAR~1~) in vascular endothelial cells. The storeโoperated Ca^2+^ influx is a major Ca^2+^ influx pathway in nonโexcitable cells including endothelial cells and
Both cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions are important regulators of the function of most human cells. In this study we investigated how these interactions controlled the production of vasodilators nitric oxide (NO), and prostacyclin (PGI 2 ), in freshly isolated human umbilical vein endothelial
