Effects of lycopene on the induction of foam cell formation by modified LDL
Journal Article
Napolitano, M., De Pascale, C., Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D., Botham, K. M., & Bravo, E. Effects of lycopene on the induction of foam cell formation by modified LDL. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpendo.00315.2007

The effect of lycopene on macrophage foam cell formation induced by modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was studied. Human monocyte-derived macrophages (HMDM) were incubated with lycopene in the presence or absence of native LDL (nLDL) or LDL modi...

Regulation of endothelial prostacyclin synthesis by Protease-activated receptors: mechanisms and significance
Journal Article
Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D. Regulation of endothelial prostacyclin synthesis by Protease-activated receptors: mechanisms and significance

The cellular actions of serine proteases are mediated through activation of a novel family of four G protein-coupled receptors known as protease-activated receptors (PARs). PARs are emerging as important modulators of diverse biological functions and...

Evaluation of VEGF-Mediated signaling in primary human cells reveals a paracrine action for VEGF in osteoblast-mediated crosstalk to endothelial cells
Journal Article
Clarkin, C. E., Emery, R. J., Pitsillides, A. A., & Wheeler-Jones, C. P. D. Evaluation of VEGF-Mediated signaling in primary human cells reveals a paracrine action for VEGF in osteoblast-mediated crosstalk to endothelial cells. Journal of Cellular Physiology, 214(2), 537-544. https://doi.org/10.1002/jcp.21234

Communication between endothelial and bone cells is crucial for controlling vascular supply during bone growth, remodeling, and repair but the molecular mechanisms coordinating this intercellular crosstalk remain ill-defined. We have used primary hum... Read More about Evaluation of VEGF-Mediated signaling in primary human cells reveals a paracrine action for VEGF in osteoblast-mediated crosstalk to endothelial cells.
