Treponema pallidum Protein Tp0136 Induces Spheroidization of Vascular Endothelial Cells, Resulting in Widened Intercellular Junctions and Enhanced Vascular Permeability

Small Science, EarlyView.
Treponema pallidum protein Tp0136 enhances vascular permeability by upregulating CSRP1, which induces MYO10 exon 19 skipping, reducing MYO10 expression and triggering endothelial spheroidization. This study reveals a novel RNA splicing‐mediated dissemination mechanism, proposing CSRP1/MYO10 as therapeutic targets to limit bacterial dissemination in ...
