Notch-Dependent Regulation of the Ischemic Vasodilatory Response—Brief Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We have recently described that Notch activates nitric oxide (NO) signaling in the embryonic endocardium. Both Notch signaling and NO signaling have been shown to be important during adult arteriogenesis. Notch has been shown to be required for remodeling of the collateral vessels, whereas NO is required for the initial vasodilatory response to ischemia. Whether Notch also has an impact on the vasodilatory phase of arteriogenesis after ischemia is not known. We tested the hypothesis that endothelial cell-Notch function is required for NO induction and vasodilation, in response to ischemia in the adult vasculature. METHODS AND RESULTS: We observed a significant decrease in NO levels in the dorsal aorta using a mouse model where Notch was inhibited in endothelial cell in a Tet-inducible fashion. In a femoral artery ligation model, inhibition of endothelial cell-Notch reduced reperfusion and NO generation, as quantified by laser Doppler perfusion imaging and by phosphoendothelial NO synthase, nitrotyrosine, and phosphovasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein staining, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Endothelial Notch activation is required for NO production and reactive vasodilation in a femoral artery ligation model.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
