    Nicotine-free eVape exposure causes significant upregulation of angiopoietin-2, endoglin, placental growth factor (PIGF), and VEGF as well as significant downregulation of endothelial growth factor (EGF) and prolactin in endothelial cells. HUVECs were exposed to 2% nicotine-free eVape fluid for 24 h. (a–c) Cell lysates were used for the Proteome Profiler Angiogenesis array membranes. Changes in the expression of all angiogenesis-related proteins in array (a) (ii) were quantified using the membranes (representative image in (a) (i) ). Specific analyses of the (b) upregulation and (c) downregulation of angiogenesis-related proteins on the membranes were quantified. (d) mRNA expression of angiopoietin-2, EGF, endoglin, PIGF, prolactin, and VEGF were measured by RT-PCR using specific primers. (e) Protein expression of (i) angiopoietin-2, (ii) EGF, (iii) endoglin, (iv) PIGF, (v) prolactin, and (vi) VEGF were measured using specific ELISA arrays. The data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 5–6. * p < 0.05 versus vehicle for eVape (0%).

    doi: 10.3389/ftox.2025.1699112

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Nicotine-free eVape exposure causes significant upregulation of angiopoietin-2, endoglin, placental growth factor (PIGF), and VEGF as well as significant downregulation of endothelial growth factor (EGF) and prolactin in endothelial cells. HUVECs were exposed to 2% nicotine-free eVape fluid for 24 h. (a–c) Cell lysates were used for the Proteome Profiler Angiogenesis array membranes. Changes in the expression of all angiogenesis-related proteins in array (a) (ii) were quantified using the membranes (representative image in (a) (i) ). Specific analyses of the (b) upregulation and (c) downregulation of angiogenesis-related proteins on the membranes were quantified. (d) mRNA expression of angiopoietin-2, EGF, endoglin, PIGF, prolactin, and VEGF were measured by RT-PCR using specific primers. (e) Protein expression of (i) angiopoietin-2, (ii) EGF, (iii) endoglin, (iv) PIGF, (v) prolactin, and (vi) VEGF were measured using specific ELISA arrays. The data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 5–6. * p < 0.05 versus vehicle for eVape (0%).

    Activation of ARF6 by its guanine nucleotide exchange factor (ARNO) regulates angiogenic processes in endothelial cells induced by nicotine-free eVape. (a, b) HUVECs were exposed to 2% nicotine-free eVape fluid for 24 h, and the cell lysates were analysed by Western blotting for (a) ARF6 or (b) ARNO expression. The Western blotting membranes (representative blots are shown in (i) ) were quantified and normalised to the actin expression shown in (ii) . (c–f) HUVECs were treated with ARF6 inhibitor (NAV2729; 5 µM), ARNO inhibitor (Secin H3; 10 µM), or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as vehicle control at the same time as eVape exposure. (c) ROS accumulation was assessed by DCFDA incorporation (fluorescence at 485/535 nm) following 2 h of treatment. (d) Cell adhesion, (e) migration, and (f) angiogenic potential were measured following (d, e) 6 h and (f) 24 h of treatments. (g) Protein expression of (i) angiopoietin-2, (ii) EGF, (iii) endoglin, (iv) PIGF, (v) prolactin, and (vi) VEGF were measured using specific ELISA arrays following 24 h of treatment with 2% nicotine-free eVape fluid in the presence (closed circles) and absence (open circles) of Secin H3 (10 µM). The data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 5–6. * p < 0.05 versus vehicle for eVape (0%); # p < 0.05 versus vehicle for NAV2729 and Secin H3 (DMSO).

    Senescent conditioned media (CM) promote growth of A549 cells through SASP factor EGF1. (a) Growth promotion of A549 cells by senescent CM compared to control CM of human pulmonary fibroblasts – adult (HPF-a). Cells were seeded at a density of 25,000 cells per well in a 24-well plate the day before treated with indicated CM. Real-time cell growth was monitored using IncuCyte® SX5 Live-Cell Analysis Instrument (Sartorius AG) for 3-5 days. Cell growth was analysed using the IncuCyte® software and manifested as percentage over the baseline confluence. Data of 6 biological replicates are shown as mean ± SD. **indicates significant difference (p<0.01) from cells treated with Ctrl CM as determined by ANOVA analysis.
