Role of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein in human cytomegalovirus-induced hyperpermeability of human endothelial cells.
Authors: Tian Y, He Y, Zhang L, Zhang J, Xu L, Ma Y, Xu X, Wei L Abstract Atherosclerosis (AS) is a common chronic vascular disease and epidemiological evidence demonstrates that infection is closely associated with the occurrence of AS, including infection by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and Chlamydophila pneumoniae. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of HCMV AD169 infection on the barrier function of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and to understand the role of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) during this process. In cultured HUVEC-CRL-1730 cells, knockdown of V...
