microRNA-Mediated Regulation of Oxidative Stress in Cardiovascular Diseases. [PDF]
J Clin Lab AnalABSTRACT Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality globally, often linked to oxidative stress. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as significant regulators of oxidative stress within the cardiovascular system. Objective This review examines the complex relationship between miRNAs and oxidative stress, clarifying their ...

Phospholipase Cε Modulates Rap1 Activity and the Endothelial Barrier. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C, PLCε, is a unique signaling protein with known roles in regulating cardiac myocyte growth, astrocyte inflammatory signaling, and tumor formation. PLCε is also expressed in endothelial cells, however its role

Structures of Ras superfamily effector complexes: What have we learnt in two decades? [PDF]
, 2015 The Ras superfamily small G proteins are master regulators of a diverse range of cellular processes and act via downstream effector molecules. The first structure of a small G protein-effector complex, that of Rap1A with c-Raf1, was published 20 years ...

Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Ischemic Stroke of Different Etiologies Have Distinct Alternatively Spliced mRNA Profiles in the Blood: a Pilot RNA-seq Study. [PDF]
, 2015 Whole transcriptome studies have used 3'-biased expression microarrays to study genes regulated in the blood of stroke patients. However, alternatively spliced messenger RNA isoforms have not been investigated for ischemic stroke or intracerebral ...

Contribution of protein–protein interactions to the endothelial-barrier-stabilizing function of KRIT1 [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2022 ABSTRACT Krev-interaction trapped protein 1 (KRIT1) is an endothelial scaffold protein that promotes adherens junction (AJ) stability. The precise mechanism by which KRIT1 promotes barrier stabilization is unclear. We tested the ability of a panel of KRIT1 constructs containing mutations that inhibit Rap1 binding, ICAP1α binding, disrupt
