A comprehensive understanding of the evolution immune landscape in humans across entire lifespan at single-cell transcriptional and protein levels, during development, maturation senescence is currently lacking. We recruited a total 220 healthy volunteers from Shanghai Pudong Cohort (NCT05206643), spanning 13 age groups 0 to over 90 years, profiled their peripheral cells through RNA-sequencing coupled with single T cell B receptor sequencing, high-throughput mass cytometry, bulk flow...

Abstract Circadian rhythm disruption or decrease in levels of circadian hormones such as melatonin increases ischemic heart disease risk. The nuclear receptors ROR s are pivotally involved regulation and effects mediation. However, the functional roles have never been investigated were therefore subject this study on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion ( MI /R) injury pathogenesis. α γ subtypes detected adult mouse heart, but not was downregulated after /R.

Abstract Rupture of vulnerable plaques is the main trigger acute cardio‐cerebral vascular events, but mechanisms responsible for transforming a stable atherosclerotic into plaque remain largely unknown. Melatonin, an indoleamine hormone secreted by pineal gland, plays pleiotropic roles in cardiovascular system; however, effect melatonin on rupture and its underlying remains Here, we generated rupture‐prone carotid model induced endogenous renovascular hypertension combined with low shear...

Abstract Aims Adverse cardiovascular events have day/night patterns with peaks in the morning, potentially related to endogenous circadian clock control of platelet activation. Circadian nuclear receptor Rev-erbα is an essential and negative component clock. To date, expression profile biological function platelets never been reported. Methods results Here, we report presence functions human mouse platelets. Both showed a rhythm that positively correlated aggregation. Global knockout...

Reducing cardiovascular disease burden among women remains challenging. Epidemiologic studies have indicated that polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine in of reproductive age, is associated with an increased prevalence and extent coronary artery disease. However, mechanism through which PCOS affects cardiac health unclear.

Abstract Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a major complication that significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in diabetics with few therapies. Moreover, antidiabetic drugs reported inconsistent or even adverse cardiovascular effects, suggesting it important exploit novel therapeutic targets against diabetic cardiomyopathy. Here, we observed the nuclear melatonin receptor, retinoic acid‐related orphan receptor‐α ( ROR α), was downregulated hearts. By utilizing mouse line α disruption,...

Exercise-induced physiological hypertrophy provides protection against cardiovascular disease, whereas disease-induced pathological leads to heart failure. Emerging evidence suggests pleiotropic roles of melatonin in cardiac disease; however, the effects on vs remain unknown. Using swimming-induced and pressure overload-induced models, we found that treatment significantly improved hypertrophic responses accompanied by alleviated oxidative stress myocardium but did not affect levels. As an...

Objective This study aimed to explore autoantibody clusters and their correlations with clinical features in 644 myasthenia gravis (MG) patients. Methods Medical records of 664 MG patients were reviewed. Five autoantibodies (AChR, MuSK, titin, RyR, LRP4) selected for cluster analysis. The various manifestations compared between clusters. Separate association analyses individual as well among different MGFA subtypes also performed without prior clustering. Results Two separate identified,...
