Plasma adrenomedullin peptides and precursor levels in pulmonary arterial hypertension disease severity and risk stratification

Pulmonary Circulation, 2020
Adrenomedullin is a potent vasodilatory peptide, linked to pulmonary arterial hypertension pathology. Proximity extension assays were utilized to study plasma biomarkers related to vasoregulation, with focus on adrenomedullin peptides and precursor ...

Sex-dependent influence of endogenous estrogen in pulmonary hypertension [PDF]

, 2014
Rationale: The incidence of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is greater in women suggesting estrogens may play a role in the disease pathogenesis. Experimentally, in males exogenously administered estrogen can protect against PH; however in models ...

Pulmonary hypertension in adolescents with sickle cell disease [PDF]

, 2016
Sickle cell disease consists of a group of disorders that have a similar mutation in at least one of the beta-globin chains of hemoglobin. This results in a change of the hemoglobin to sickle shaped cells when in the deoxygenated state.

Metabolic Interplay in Acute Lung Injury: PARK7 Integrates FADS1/2‐Dependent PUFA Metabolism and H3K14 Lactylation to Attenuate Endothelial Ferroptosis and Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
SCAP/ARDS patients show reduced unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) but higher PARK7 and lactate in plasma. PARK7 correlates positively with lactate and negatively with UFAs. Pulmonary endothelial cell multi‐omics show FADS1/2 downregulation and impaired PUFA metabolism. Lactate boosts PARK7 via H3K14 lactylation, and PARK7 then restores FADS1/2.

Targeted Degradation of sGRP78 Alleviates the Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Soluble GRP78 (sGRP78) is identified as a novel tumor‐derived soluble factor that induces regulatory T cells (Treg). sGRP78 serves as an excellent serological biomarker for predicting the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer patients. sGRP78 specifically binds to B cells, inducing the expression of IL‐10 and PD‐L1, thereby promoting Treg ...
