Heg1 and Ccm1/2 proteins control endocardial mechanosensitivity during zebrafish valvulogenesis
Endothelial cells respond to different levels of fluid shear stress through adaptations of their mechanosensitivity. Currently, we lack a good understanding of how this contributes to sculpting of the cardiovascular system.

Novel functions of CCM1 delimit the relationship of PTB/PH domains [PDF]
Three NPXY motifs and one FERM domain in CCM1 makes it a versatile scaffold protein for tethering the signaling components together within the CCM signaling complex (CSC). The cellular role of CCM1 protein remains inadequately expounded. Both phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) and pleckstrin homology (PH) domains were recognized as structurally related but ...

Cerebral Cavernous Malformation: A Portuguese Family with a Novel CCM1 Mutation [PDF]
Introduction: Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a vascular disorder characterized by the presence of central nervous system cavernomas. In familial forms, mutations in three genes (CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2/MGC4607 and CCM3/PDCD10) were identified.

Whole-genome Omics delineates the function of CCM1 within the CmPn networks
Introduction Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are abnormal dilations of brain capillaries that increase the risk of hemorrhagic strokes. Mutations in the KRIT1, MGC4607, and PDCD10 genes cause CCMs, with mutations in CCM1 accounting for about 50 ...

Fibronectin rescues aberrant phenotype of endothelial cells lacking either CCM1, CCM2 or CCM3 [PDF]
Loss‐of‐function variants in CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2, and CCM3/PDCD10 are associated with autosomal dominant cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs). CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated CCM3 inactivation in human endothelial cells (ECs) has been shown to induce profound ...

Prevalence, genetic and clinical characteristics in first-degree relatives of patients with familial cerebral cavernous malformations in China [PDF]
Objective This study aims to investigate the prevalence of familial cerebral cavernous malformations (FCCMs) in first-degree relatives (FDRs) using familial screening, to describe the distribution of initial symptoms, lesion count on cranial MRI and ...

Hyaluronic acid turnover controls the severity of cerebral cavernous malformations in bioengineered human micro-vessels [PDF]
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular lesions that predominantly form in blood vessels of the central nervous system upon loss of the CCM multimeric protein complex.

Familial Cerebral Cavernous Malformations: Pathophysiology, Genetics, Biomarkers, and Treatment Perspectives. [PDF]
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are vascular lesions in the brain caused by inherited genetic mutations in the CCM1/2/3 genes that disrupt normal blood vessel function. This work demonstrates that these mutations lead to endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and iron accumulation, which can be detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ...
