Arterial endothelial cells play critical roles in cardiac homeostasis, and insults to the endothelial cells have been linked to a variety of vascular diseases. Porcine artery endothelial cells provide a useful tool to study artery endothelial function and metabolism.PCAEC from Cell Applications, Inc. have been used to investigate a new mechanism of obesity-associated vascular disease by demonstrating that resistin, an adipocyte-derived cytokine implemented in insulin resistance and diabetes, can cause endothelial dysfunction in coronary arteries through oxidative stress and down-regulation of NO synthase (Kougias, 2005). Conversely, secretoneurin was shown to activate expression of NO synthase and calmodulin, leading to endothelial relaxation (Chan, 2011). PCAEC were also used in adhesion and transmigration experiments in a study investigating anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective effects of a novel adenosine-lidocaine drug formulation (Shi, 2012). |
