Towards this goal, this lab contributed to the literature that proved that thrombospondin1 is a highly effective physiological inhibitor of angiogenesis (Iruela-Arispe et al., 1990; 1991; 1996; 1999; Streit et al., 2000; Rodriguez-Manzaneque et al., 2001). Subsequently, using the anti-angiogenic motifs of thrombospondin, the lab cloned two members of the ADAMTS family and demonstrated that the proteins harbor angiostatic properties (Vazquez et al., 1999; Iruela-Arispe et al., 1999; Carpizo and Iruela-Arispe, 2000). In an effort to clarify the vascular effects of ADAMTS proteases, they contributed to current understanding of the biology of this family of extracellular proteases (Rodriguez-Manzaneque et al., 2000; Lee et al., 2005; 2006). Today a pubmed search on \u201cADAMTS\u201d retrieves 1264\u00a0publications.\u00a0 The group is proud to have cloned the first human member of this family and generated many of the initial reagents that have been broadly distributed to entice and facilitate the entrance of so many investigators into this field.<\/p>\n<p>The antagonistic relationship between TSP and VEGF let the group to investigate VEGF association with extracellular matrix proteins. They revealed that activation of VEGFR2 by VEGF varies significantly depending upon the association of VEGF with matrix proteins (Lee et al., 2005; Lee et al., 2010). Furthermore, they identified highly significant intracrine signaling loop that is critical for endothelial cell survival (Lee et al., 2007).<\/p>\n<p>Through an effort to generate valuable Cre-recombinase models for excision of genes in the endothelium (Alva et al., 2006; Monvoisin et al., 2006), the group demonstrated by lineage tracing that hemogenic endothelium gives rise to hematopoietic progenitor cells (Zovein et al., 2008). They have continued to investigate the functional interactions between endothelial cells and hematopoietic cells and uncovered important heterotypic interactions between endothelial cells and macrophages (He et al., 2012).<\/p>\n<p>A more recent focus of the lab has been on the regulation of Notch signaling in the vasculature. Initially, the lab contributed to the literature that demonstrated the critical role of this pathway in tip\/stalk cell specification (Hellstrom et al., 2007). In addition, through endothelial and smooth muscle cell inactivation of Jag1, they clarified the vascular roots for the cardiac (endothelial \u2013 related) and liver (smooth muscle cell \u2013 related) pathologies in Alagille syndrome (Hofmann et al., 2010; 2012).\u00a0 This work highlighted the relevance of heterotypic vascular-parenchymal interactions in the architecture of organs.\u00a0 More recently this trajectory resulted in a greater understanding of how Notch signaling skews differentiation of Pax1+ somitic cells into smooth muscle cells (Briot et al., 2014). These findings shed light into the possible causes of vascular calcification and uncover potential directions for therapeutic development.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-av_toggle-960c789ef3729390067613470a265938'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-2' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Current Focus\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Current Focus\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Current Focus\">Current Focus<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-2' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-2' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><div id=\"content\" class=\"site-content\">\n<p>Currently, the laboratory is investigating the mechanisms behind the formation of vascular tumors and vascular anomalies. In particular, the group is interested in the identification of critical regulatory nodes that maintain vascular homeostasis and control endothelial proliferation in the context of flow. An additional focus of the lab is to dissect the molecular interactions between endothelial and tumor cells during the process of metastasis with particular emphasis on endothelial barrier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-av_toggle-9e07b3c04628ea8db04d3805abae0c1f'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-3' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-3' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-3' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"About the Principal Investigator\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: About the Principal Investigator\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: About the Principal Investigator\">About the Principal Investigator<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-3' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-3' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><div id=\"content\" class=\"site-content\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-192\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.lifesci.ucla.edu\/mcdb-arispe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/126\/2017\/05\/luisa-and-student-resized-and-cropped.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.lifesci.ucla.edu\/mcdb-arispe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/126\/2017\/05\/luisa-and-student-resized-and-cropped.jpeg 599w, https:\/\/sites.lifesci.ucla.edu\/mcdb-arispe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/126\/2017\/05\/luisa-and-student-resized-and-cropped-300x150.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sites.lifesci.ucla.edu\/mcdb-arispe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/126\/2017\/05\/luisa-and-student-resized-and-cropped-450x225.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) 100vw, 599px\" \/>Dr. Iruela-Arispe is Professor and Vice-chair of the Molecular, Cell and Developmental Biology, Director of the Molecular Biology Institute and Chair of the Molecular Biology Inter-Departmental Graduate Program at UCLA.<\/p>\n<p>Born in Spain, she immigrated to South America attending school in Argentina and Brazil.
