Unveiling a Novel Molecular Interaction and Pro-Metastatic Signaling Cascades Driven by KRIT1. [PDF]
K-Rev Interaction Trapped protein-1 (KRIT1) is a scaffold protein that forms functional protein complexes involved in physiologically important signaling networks. While it is primarily recognized for its association with Cerebral Cavernous Malformations

Gene burden meta-analysis of 748 879 individuals identifies LGI1-ADAM23 protein complex association with epilepsy. [PDF]
Abstract Epilepsy affects more than 50 million individuals globally and has a substantial genetic component that remains to be completely understood. Traditional studies have focused on severe, early onset cases enrolled through clinical or research settings.

The Role of Immune Infiltration and Oxidative Stress in the Progression of Cerebral Cavernous Malformation. [PDF]
Mechanism of rupture hemorrhage in cerebral cavernous malformations. Environmental and immune factors promote the progression of lesions and induce the risk of abnormal formation or rupture of cerebrovascular vessels. Abstract Purpose of Review To review how the immune microenvironment and oxidative stress modulate the initiation, maturation, and ...

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 ...

KRIT1 in vascular biology and beyond. [PDF]
Abstract KRIT1 is a 75 kDa scaffolding protein which regulates endothelial cell phenotype by limiting the response to inflammatory stimuli and maintaining a quiescent and stable endothelial barrier. Loss-of-function mutations in KRIT1 lead to the development of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM), a disease marked by the formation ...

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

Cancer-secreted exosomal miR-21-5p induces angiogenesis and vascular permeability by targeting KRIT1
Cancer-secreted exosomes are critical mediators of cancer-host crosstalk. In the present study, we showed the delivery of miR-21-5p from colorectal cancer (CRC) cells to endothelial cells via exosomes increased the amount of miR-21-5p in recipient cells.

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.

Next-Generation Sequencing Advances the Genetic Diagnosis of Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM)
Cerebral Cavernous Malformation (CCM) is a cerebrovascular disease of genetic origin that predisposes to seizures, focal neurological deficits and fatal intracerebral hemorrhage. It may occur sporadically or in familial forms, segregating as an autosomal
