Calpain‐2‐Mediated Endothelial Focal Adhesion Disruption in Thoracic Aortic Dissection
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The elevated expression of Capn2 in endothelial cells activates focal adhesion signaling by cleaving Talin1 and assembling Itgav, which compromises the integrity of the endothelial barrier and induces vascular inflammation. Inhibition of calpain through both pharmacological and transgenic approaches has effectively suppressed the onset and progression ...

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 1997 Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) improve cardiac function and remodeling and prolong survival in patients with heart failure (HF). Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) with an angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist (AT1-ant ...

Effects of candesartan, an angiotensin II receptor type I blocker, on atrial remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats [PDF]
, 2015 Hypertension-induced structural remodeling of the left atrium (LA) has been suggested to involve the renin–angiotensin system. This study investigated whether treatment with an angiotensin receptor blocker, candesartan, regresses atrial remodeling in ...

Effect of amaranth proteins on the RAS system: In vitro, in vivo and ex vivo assays [PDF]
, 2020 The aim of this work was to analyse the hypotensive effect of amaranthprotein/peptides on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The mechanism of action of these peptides was studied in vivo and ex vivo.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.PIK3CAH1047R DNA in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell‐derived exosomes can be delivered into recipient fibroblasts, where it is transcribed and translated, leading to the activation of fibroblasts into cancer‐associated fibroblasts, which secrete elevated levels of IL6. The simultaneous detection and targeting of PIK3CAH1047R mutation and IL6 may serve as a

Natriuretic peptides and cardiovascular damage in the metabolic syndrome. Molecular mechanisms and clinical implications [PDF]
, 2010 Natriuretic peptides are endogenous antagonists of vasoconstrictor and salt- and water-retaining systems in the body's defence against blood pressure elevation and plasma volume expansion, through direct vasodilator, diuretic and natriuretic properties ...

Angiotensin Receptors and Aging [PDF]
Hypertension, 2007 The major biological actions of the renin–angiotensin system are mediated by angiotensin (Ang) II, which binds with equal affinity to Ang type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) receptors. The majority of Ang II actions, however, are mediated by the AT1 receptor, including vasoconstriction, cellular proliferation, tissue growth, direct renal tubular sodium ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Aortic dissection (AD) is accompanied by a decrease in CCDC80 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). CCDC80 can interact with JAK2, and VSMC‐specific CCDC80 deficiency accelerates the progression of AD by activating the JAK2/STAT3 pathway involved in regulating the phenotype switching and function of VSMCs.

Review of COVID-19 Antibody Therapies [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Under the global health emergency caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), efficient and specific therapies are urgently needed. Compared with traditional small-molecular drugs, antibody therapies are relatively easy to develop and as specific as vaccines in targeting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and thus attract ...
