Griffin K, Simpson K, Beckers C, Newell L, Cheah L, Yuldasheva N, et al.
JVS Vasc Sci . 2021 Oct; 2:95-109. PMID: 34617062
Objective: Previously published work has indicated that transcripts encoding transglutaminase 2 (TG2) increase markedly in a rat model of abdominal aortic aneurysm. This study determines whether TG2 and the related...

Griffin K, Newell L, Simpson K, Beckers C, Drinkhill M, Standeven K, et al.
Atherosclerosis . 2019 Dec; 294:1-9. PMID: 31874419
Background And Aims: Transglutaminase (TG) 2 and Factor (F) XIII-A have both been implicated in cardiovascular protection and repair. This study was designed to differentiate between two competing hypotheses: that...

Beckers C, Simpson K, Griffin K, Brown J, Cheah L, Smith K, et al.
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol . 2017 Jun; 37(8):1494-1502. PMID: 28596376
Objective: To establish the cellular source of plasma factor (F)XIII-A. Approach And Results: A novel mouse floxed for the gene, FXIII-A (Flox), was crossed with myeloid- and platelet-cre-expressing mice, and...

Beckers C, Knezevic N, Valent E, Tauseef M, Krishnan R, Rajendran K, et al.
Vascul Pharmacol . 2015 Apr; 70:45-54. PMID: 25869521
Rho kinase mediates the effects of inflammatory permeability factors by increasing actomyosin-generated traction forces on endothelial adherens junctions, resulting in disassembly of intercellular junctions and increased vascular leakage. In vitro,...

Szulcek R, Beckers C, Hodzic J, Wit J, Chen Z, Grob T, et al.
Cardiovasc Res . 2013 Mar; 99(3):471-82. PMID: 23536606
Aims: Endothelial cells (ECs) control vascular permeability by forming a monolayer that is sealed by extracellular junctions. Various mediators modulate the endothelial barrier by acting on junctional protein complexes and...

Beckers C, van Hinsbergh V, van Nieuw Amerongen G
Thromb Haemost . 2010 Jan; 103(1):40-55. PMID: 20062930
In the past decade understanding of the role of the Rho GTPases RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 has been developed from regulatory proteins that regulate specific actin cytoskeletal structures - stress...

Vlasblom R, Muller A, Beckers C, van Nieuw Amerongen G, Zuidwijk M, van Hardeveld C, et al.
Pflugers Arch . 2009 Mar; 458(4):785-93. PMID: 19294414
In neonatal ventricular cardiomyocytes (NVCM), decreased contractile activity stimulates sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase2a (SERCA2a), analogous to reduced myocardial load in vivo. This study investigated in contracting NVCM the role of load-dependent...

Beckers C, Garcia-Vallejo J, van Hinsbergh V, van Nieuw Amerongen G
Cardiovasc Res . 2008 May; 79(4):679-88. PMID: 18490349
Aims: Cytosolic and nuclear localization of beta-catenin was observed in leaky vessels and in tumours. Several lines of evidence indicate that nuclear beta-catenin facilitates angiogenesis. We hypothesized that nuclear beta-catenin...
