Leptin Aggravates Thoracic Aortic Dissection Through Impairment of Energy Metabolism in Nrip2+ Smooth Muscle Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Epidemiological data confirm obesity elevates thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) risk. Patient analyses implicate hyperleptinemia, where leptin binding to vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) receptors triggers Socs3‐mediated suppression of Stat5a transcriptional activity.

Mesencephalic Astrocyte‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor Binds BAX to Preserve Mitochondrial Homeostasis and Energy Metabolism for Relieving Myocardial Hypertrophy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MANF in cardiomyocytes interacts with BAX to impede BAX mitochondrial translocation and cytochrome c release, further stabilizing mitochondrial structure and energy supply to relieve myocardial apoptosis and hypertrophy, which indicates MANF as a novel cardioprotective factor to have a promising clinical application for myocardial hypertrophy ...

Effect of different sources of dietary protein on muscle hypertrophy in functionally overloaded mice

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2019
Dietary protein intake is important for skeletal muscle protein synthesis. In this study, we investigated the differential effect of protein sources on hypertrophy of plantaris muscle induced by surgical ablation of gastrocnemius and soleus muscles.

CD74 Blockade Disrupts Endothelial Migrasome Signaling to Prevent Inflammatory Macrophage Differentiation and Inhibit Atherosclerotic Progression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Migrasomes play a crucial role in endothelial‐immune interactions in atherosclerosis. This study identifies migrasomes as amplifiers in the inflammatory cascade, driving immune‐metabolic reprogramming via “migrasome‐APP‐CD74” signaling. Blocking CD74 disrupts migrasome‐mediated signaling, attenuating atherosclerosis progression.

The Role of HINT3 in Myocardial Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury in Male Mice: Mechanisms Involving SDHA and its Acetylation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HINT3 expression declines after myocardial ischemia‐reperfusion injury. In male mice, loss of HINT3 worsens cardiac injury and mitochondrial dysfunction, while its overexpression is protective. HINT3 binds the mitochondrial enzyme succinate dehydrogenase (SDHA) and prevents its deacetylation by histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), reducing succinate ...

A Human Engineered Heart Tissue‐Derived Lipotoxic Diabetic Cardiomyopathy Model Revealed Early Benefits of Empagliflozin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a human engineered heart tissue‐derived model of diabetic cardiomyopathy that accurately replicates the dynamic changes in the structural, contractile, and electrophysiological properties of the myocardium. Furthermore, this model is used to confirm the direct protective effects of empagliflozin on the heart through an SGLT2 off ...

Effects of day-time feeding on murine skeletal muscle growth and synthesis

Journal of Nutrition & Intermediary Metabolism, 2019
Muscle mass is controlled by the balance between muscle synthesis and degradation. Although nutrition is important for the maintenance of muscle mass and growth, the effects of feeding time have remained unclear.

Integrated ‘Shield‐Spear’ Biological Patch for Fibrosis‐Free Bladder Reconstruction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibrosis‐free bladder reconstruction remains challenging. This study pioneers an integrated “shield‐spear” patch: The outer anionic hydrogel layer captures GATA6+ macrophages to suppress collagen overexpression, while the inner S100 aptamer‐engineered EVs target Schwann cells to downregulate the TGFβ/Smad pathway—inhibiting fibrosis with enhanced wound

S6K1 Is Required for Increasing Skeletal Muscle Force during Hypertrophy

Cell Reports, 2016
Loss of skeletal muscle mass and force aggravates age-related sarcopenia and numerous pathologies, such as cancer and diabetes. The AKT-mTORC1 pathway plays a major role in stimulating adult muscle growth; however, the functional role of its downstream ...

Pancreatic Cancer‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Enriched with miR‐223‐5p Promote Skeletal Muscle Wasting Associated with Cachexia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
EVs and EV‐microRNAs (miRNAs) mediate PDAC‐skeletal muscle communication. miR‐223‐5p reduces METTL14 transcription by targeting MAFA, which subsequently decreases m6A methylation in skeletal muscles, ultimately leading to muscle wasting. This study highlights the absorption of miRNA in PDAC‐derived EVs by skeletal muscles and reveals a previously ...
