Inhibition of the HEG1–KRIT1 interaction increases KLF4 and KLF2 expression in endothelial cells [PDF]

FASEB BioAdvances, 2021
The transmembrane protein heart of glass1 (HEG1) directly binds to and recruits Krev interaction trapped protein 1 (KRIT1) to endothelial junctions to form the HEG1–KRIT1 protein complex that establishes and maintains junctional integrity.

Case Report: A novel heterozygous nonsense mutation in KRIT1 cause hereditary cerebral cavernous malformation [PDF]

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a vascular malformation of the central nervous system and mainly characterized by enlarged capillary cavities without intervening brain parenchyma. Genetic studies have identified three disease-causing genes (CCM1/

KRIT1 regulates the homeostasis of intracellular reactive oxygen species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
KRIT1 is a gene responsible for Cerebral Cavernous Malformations (CCM), a major cerebrovascular disease characterized by abnormally enlarged and leaky capillaries that predispose to seizures, focal neurological deficits, and fatal intracerebral ...

PTEN/PKM2/ERα-Driven Glyoxalase 1 Overexpression Sustains PC3 Prostate Cancer Cell Growth Through MG-H1/RAGE Pathway Desensitization Leading to H₂O₂-Dependent KRIT1 Downregulation [PDF]

Antioxidants
Glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) functions as a catalyst that neutralizes methylglyoxal (MG), a highly reactive glycating agent predominantly produced during glycolysis—a metabolic pathway upregulated in cancer cells.

Molecular genetic features and clinical manifestations in Chinese familial cerebral cavernous malformation: from a novel KRIT1/CCM1 mutation (c.1119dupT) to an overall view [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common vascular anomaly diseases in the central nervous system associated with seizures, cerebral microbleeds, or asymptomatic mostly.

Variable expression of cerebral cavernous malformations in carriers of a premature termination codon in exon 17 of the Krit1 gene [PDF]

BMC Neurology, 2003
Background Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) present as either sporadic or autosomal dominant conditions with incomplete penetrance of symptoms. Differences in genetic and environmental factors might be minimized among first-degree relatives.

Circumferential actomyosin bundles anchored by CCM1 drive endothelial cell contraction and vessel constriction [PDF]

Nature Communications
Blood vessels undergo extensive remodelling to acquire appropriate diameters, yet how endothelial cells coordinate changes in their number and shape to achieve this remains unclear.

Initiation of lumen formation from junctions via differential actomyosin contractility regulated by dynamic recruitment of Rasip1 [PDF]

Nature Communications
De novo lumen formation necessitates the precise segregation of junctional proteins from apical surfaces, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Using a zebrafish model, we develop a series of molecular reporters, photo-convertible and optogenetic

A Novel CCM2 Missense Variant Caused Cerebral Cavernous Malformations in a Chinese Family

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common vascular malformations in the central nervous system. Familial CCMs (FCCMs) are autosomal dominant inherited disease with incomplete penetrance and variable symptoms.

A novel CCM2 variant in a family with non-progressive cognitive complaints and cerebral microbleeds [PDF]

, 2017
Lobar cerebral microbleeds are most often sporadic and associated with Alzheimer's disease. The aim of our study was to identify the underlying genetic defect in a family with cognitive complaints and multiple lobar microbleeds and a positive family ...
