In a population of patients with stable CAD, circulating levels of PCSK9 are independently associated with the progression of adverse coronary plaque phenotypes, as assessed by serial coronary computed tomography angiography. At RNA‐seq analysis of whole blood, PCSK9 was linked to the expression of genes involved in the innate‐immune response.

Incubation of esophageal epithelial cells with a weakly acidic (pH 5) bile salt (deoxycholic acid) induces translocation of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the cytosol, and its subsequent release from the cell. This process can be ameliorated by pre‐treatment with the antioxidant, curcumin.

SARS‐CoV‐2 Nucleocapsid Protein Does Not Induce Inflammation in Endothelial Cells or Monocytes
The SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleocapsid (N) protein was thought to trigger inflammation in endothelial cells and monocytes. We found that these effects were largely caused by trace endotoxin contamination in the recombinant N‐protein. When endotoxin was neutralized or removed, N‐protein no longer induced inflammation in endothelial cells or monocytes. Our findings

Platelets interact with extracellular vesicles shed by hepatic stellate cells to activate both cell types. Extracellular vesicles shed by activated hepatic stellate cells contain inactive prorenin. HSC‐EV interact with quiescent platelets to non‐proteolytically activate ligated prorenin.
