Peptide-Directed Highly Selective Targeting of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension PDF available through Get Fulltext Research

Urakami, Takeo Järvinen, Tero A.H. Toba, Michie Sawada, Junko Ambalavanan, Namasivayam Mann, David McMurtry, Ivan Oka, Masahiko Ruoslahti, Erkki Komatsu, Masanobu ...

Published in The American Journal of Pathology

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disorder of the pulmonary vasculature associated with elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. Despite recent advances in the treatment of PAH, with eight approved clinical therapies and additional therapies undergoing clinical trials, PAH remains a serious life-threatening condition. The lack of pulmonary ...

A Novel Vascular Homing Peptide Strategy to Selectively Enhance Pulmonary Drug Efficacy in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertensi... PDF available through Get Fulltext Research

Toba, Michie Alzoubi, Abdallah O’Neill, Kealan Abe, Kohtaro Urakami, Takeo Komatsu, Masanobu Alvarez, Diego Järvinen, Tero A.H. Mann, David Ruoslahti, Erkki ...

Published in The American Journal of Pathology

A major limitation in the pharmacological treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is the lack of pulmonary vascular selectivity. Recent studies have identified a tissue-penetrating homing peptide, CARSKNKDC (CAR), which specifically homes to hypertensive pulmonary arteries but not to normal pulmonary vessels or other tissues. Some tissue...

Vascular smooth muscle cells from injured rat aortas display elevated matrix production associated with transforming gro...

Rasmussen, Lm Wolf, Yg Erkki Ruoslahti

Published in American Journal Of Pathology

The arterial response to injury is characterized by a short period of increased proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells, followed by an extended period of extracellular matrix accumulation in the intima. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) has been implicated as a causative factor in the formation of extracellular matrix ...

Molecular changes in the vasculature of injured tissues. PDF available through Get Fulltext Research

Ta, Järvinen Erkki Ruoslahti

Published in American Journal Of Pathology

We have explored molecular specialization of the vasculature of regenerating wound tissue in the skin and tendons to identify a different repertoire of markers from that obtained by studying tumor vasculature. We screened a phage-displayed peptide library for peptides that home to wounds in mice and identified two peptides that selectively target p...

Beta1C integrin in epithelial cells correlates with a nonproliferative phenotype: forced expression of beta1C inhibits p...

Fornaro, M Manzotti, M Tallini, G Slear, Ae Bosari, S Erkki Ruoslahti Languino, Lr

Published in American Journal Of Pathology

The expression of the beta1C integrin, an alternatively spliced variant of the beta1 subunit, was investigated in human adult and fetal tissues. In the adult, beta1C immunoreactivity was found in nonproliferative, differentiated simple, and/or pseudostratified epithelia in prostate glands and liver bile ducts. In contrast, beta1C was undetectable i...
