A RhoA-FRET Biosensor Mouse for Intravital Imaging in Normal Tissue Homeostasis and Disease Contexts

Cell Reports, 2017
The small GTPase RhoA is involved in a variety of fundamental processes in normal tissue. Spatiotemporal control of RhoA is thought to govern mechanosensing, growth, and motility of cells, while its deregulation is associated with disease development ...

Life Factors and Melanoma: From the Macroscopic State to the Molecular Mechanism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Melanoma, an aggressive skin cancer, arises from dynamic interactions between genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. This review explores how age, gender, obesity, diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol, UV exposure, circadian rhythms, and medications influence melanoma risk and progression.

Adamts1 Exacerbates Post‐Myocardial Infarction Scar Formation via Mechanosensing of Integrin α8

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Proposed mechanistic model of ADAMTS1‐ITGα8 mechanotransduction in post‐MI scar formation. Schematic illustration showing the mechanistic pathway by which endothelial cell (EC) derived Adamts1 regulates cardiac fibroblast activation through ITGα8‐mediated mechanotransduction following myocardial infarction (MI).

Targeting ROCK2 to Restore Epileptic Synaptic Networks via Mitophagy Activation: Insights from Translational Imaging of SV2A In Vivo

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A PET imaging and transcriptomics, this study identifies Rho‐associated protein kinase 2 (ROCK2) as a critical regulator of synaptic network dysfunction in temporal lobe epilepsy. Pharmacological ROCK2 inhibition restores synaptic density and enhances mitophagy, thereby reducing seizures and neuronal damage.

LncRNA THUMPD3‐AS1 Regulates Behavioral and Synaptic Structural Abnormalities in Schizophrenia via miR‐485‐5p and ARHGAP8

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is linked to synaptic structural deficits driven by dysregulated noncoding RNAs. Using the novel ceRNAxis pipeline, THUMPD3‐AS1/miR‐485‐5p/ARHGAP8 is identified as a key regulator of actin cytoskeletal remodeling through noncanonical RhoB/C‐ROCK2 signaling. Modulating this axis ameliorates SCZ‐like phenotypes in mice and aligns with

RhoA Regulation of Cardiomyocyte Differentiation

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
Earlier findings from our laboratory implicated RhoA in heart developmental processes. To investigate factors that potentially regulate RhoA expression, RhoA gene organisation and promoter activity were analysed.

MicroRNAs and Their Therapeutic Potential for Human Diseases: MiR-133a and Bronchial Smooth Muscle Hyperresponsiveness in Asthma

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
.: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in normal and diseased cell functions. The small-GTPase RhoA is one of the key proteins of bronchial smooth muscle (BSM) contraction, and an upregulation of RhoA has been demonstrated in BSMs of experimental ...

Integrin‐Piezo1 Axis Drives ECM Remodeling and Invasion of 3D Breast Epithelium

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical stiffening of the extracellular matrix around mature mammary acini induces sequential remodeling phases. An early response disrupts the basement membrane and promotes fibronectin secretion, followed by delayed invasion with matrix reorganization and proliferation.
