Maternal Sirolimus Treatment Reverses Cardiac Rhabdomyoma‐Induced Hydrops Fetalis in a Twin Gestation With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiac rhabdomyomas are often the presenting sign of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Prior reports have shown that maternal sirolimus treatment can reduce rhabdomyomas. We used maternal sirolimus to reverse hydrops fetalis due to a massive cardiac rhabdomyoma in a twin gestation.

SOX6 enhances vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching and elevates blood pressure by activating autophagy

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Sox6 expression is elevated in hypertensive conditions and promotes vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switching through autophagy activation. Using gain‐ and loss‐of‐function approaches both in vitro and in vivo, we demonstrate that Sox6 regulates blood pressure and vascular remodeling, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic target for ...

A Drosophila model of prion disease and its metabolic changes in the brain

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We developed a Drosophila model for prion disease, and flies were capable of expressing the hamster prion protein (HaPrP) under the control of the GAL4/UAS system. The model exhibited some characteristics of the disease in mammals and displayed alterations in protein, sphingolipid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Preliminary applications have demonstrated

Therapeutic targeting of myeloid cells in liver fibrosis: Mechanisms and clinical prospects

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes the origin, recruitment, and differentiation regulation mechanisms of myeloid cells in driving hepatic fibrosis progression. By targeting these three critical phases, potential therapeutic strategies for liver fibrosis can be explored.

Designing New Natural‐Mimetic Phosphatidic Acid: A Versatile and Innovative Synthetic Strategy for Glycerophospholipid Research

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We report the role of the fatty acyl chains in biological activities of phosphatidic acids (PA). Several PA probes having two different fatty acyl chains were synthesized through a multi‐steps synthesis and bearing various fluorophores or photo‐cross‐linkers (PCL).

Long noncoding RNA GCH1 mediates mitophagy via the PTEN‐induced kinase 1/Parkin pathway to drive chondrocyte dysfunction and cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the role of lncRNA‐GCH1 in regulating mitophagy and its downstream effects on chondrocyte dysfunction and cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis (OA). Elevated lncRNA‐GCH1 stabilizes PINK1 protein, enhancing mitophagy and mitochondrial turnover.

Establishment of a patient‐derived drug‐resistant oral squamous cell carcinoma animal model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Patient‐derived xenograft (PDX) tissues from less‐responsive groups (larger tumors) were serially passaged. Sequential passaging and drug exposure in PDX models recapitulated clinical tumor evolution, enabling the development of drug‐resistant oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) models. This study can offer methodological insights for precision therapy

Regulation of Chondrocyte Metabolism and Osteoarthritis Development by Sirt5 Through Protein Lysine Malonylation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Chondrocytemetabolic dysfunction plays an important role in osteoarthritis (OA) development during aging and obesity. Protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) have recently emerged as an important regulator of cellular metabolism. We aim to study one type of PTM, lysine malonylation (MaK), and its regulator sirtuin 5 (Sirt5) in OA ...
