Notch signalling is a key intercellular communication mechanism that is essential for cell specification and tissue patterning, and which coordinates critical steps of blood vessel growth. Although subtle alterations in Notch activity suffice to elicit profound differences in endothelial behaviour and blood vessel formation, little is known about the regulation and adaptation of endothelial Notch responses. Here we report that the NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase SIRT1 acts as an intrinsic negative modulator of Notch signalling in endothelial cells. We show that acetylation of the Notch1 intracellular domain (NICD) on conserved lysines controls the amplitude and duration of Notch responses by altering NICD protein turnover. SIRT1 associates with NICD and functions as a NICD deacetylase, which opposes the acetylation-induced NICD stabilization. Consequently, endothelial cells lacking SIRT1 activity are sensitized to Notch signalling, resulting in impaired growth, sprout elongation and enhanced Notch target gene expression in response to DLL4 stimulation, thereby promoting a non-sprouting, stalk-cell-like phenotype. In vivo, inactivation of Sirt1 in zebrafish and mice causes reduced vascular branching and density as a consequence of enhanced Notch signalling. Our findings identify reversible acetylation of the NICD as a molecular mechanism to adapt the dynamics of Notch signalling, and indicate that SIRT1 acts as rheostat to fine-tune endothelial Notch responses.  相似文献

NADPH oxidases as therapeutic targets in ischemic stroke   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) act physiologically as signaling molecules. In pathological conditions, such as ischemic stroke, ROS are released in excessive amounts and upon reperfusion exceed the body's antioxidant detoxifying capacity. This process leads to brain tissue damage during reoxygenation. Consequently, antioxidant strategies have long been suggested as a therapy for experimental stroke, but clinical trials have not yet been able to promote the translation of this concept into patient treatment regimens. As an evolution of this concept, recent studies have targeted the sources of ROS generation-rather than ROS themselves. In this context, NADPH oxidases have been identified as important generators of ROS in the cerebral vasculature under both physiological conditions in general and during ischemia/reoxygenation in particular. Inhibition of NADPH oxidases or genetic deletion of certain NADPH oxidase isoforms has been found to considerably reduce ischemic injury in experimental stroke. This review focuses on recent advances in the understanding of NADPH oxidase-mediated tissue injury in the cerebral vasculature, particularly at the level of the blood-brain barrier, and highlights promising inhibitory strategies that target the NADPH oxidases.  相似文献

In this paper we propose the concept of structural similarity as a relaxation of blockmodeling in social network analysis. Most previous approaches attempt to relax the constraints on partitions, for instance, that of being a structural or regular equivalence to being approximately structural or regular, respectively. In contrast, our approach is to relax the partitions themselves: structural similarities yield similarity values instead of equivalence or non-equivalence of actors, while strictly obeying the requirement made for exact regular equivalences. Structural similarities are based on a vector space interpretation and yield efficient spectral methods that, in a more restrictive manner, have been successfully applied to difficult combinatorial problems such as graph coloring. While traditional blockmodeling approaches have to rely on local search heuristics, our framework yields algorithms that are provably optimal for specific data-generation models. Furthermore, the stability of structural similarities can be well characterized making them suitable for the analysis of noisy or dynamically changing network data.  相似文献
