1 Angiopoietin-1 inhibits irradiation- and mannitol-induced apoptosis in endothelial cells. Mannitol angiopoietin 1 Homo sapiens
2 In this study, we examined whether Ang1 prevents apoptosis in endothelial cells treated with irradiation or clinical concentrations of mannitol. Mannitol angiopoietin 1 Homo sapiens
3 METHODS AND RESULTS: ++Ang1 prevented irradiation- and mannitol-induced apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells in a dose-dependent manner. Mannitol angiopoietin 1 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSIONS: Ang1 promotes the survival of endothelial cells in irradiation- and mannitol-induced apoptosis through Tie2 receptor binding and PI3-kinase activation. Mannitol angiopoietin 1 Homo sapiens
5 Pretreatment with Ang1 could be beneficial in maintaining normal endothelial cell integrity during intracoronary irradiation or systemic mannitol therapy. Mannitol angiopoietin 1 Homo sapiens
