The pathogenesis of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) in Marfan syndrome (MFS) is generally attributed to vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) pathologies. However, the role immune cell-mediated inflammation remains elusive. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified a subset CX3CR1+ macrophages mainly located intima roots and ascending aortas Fbn1C1041G/+ mice, further validated MFS patients. Specific elimination cells by diphtheria toxin Cx3cr1-CreERT2iDTRF/+Fbn1C1041G/+ mice efficiently ameliorated...
Obesity is a highly prevalent, multigenic trait that predicts increased morbidity and mortality. Here we report results from genome scan based on 354 markers in 513 members of 92 nuclear families ascertained through extreme obesity normal body weight. The average marker interval was approximately 10 cM. We examined four correlated phenotypes, including the body-mass index (BMI) (both as quantitative discrete with threshold BMI > or /=30 kg/m2) percentage fat 40%) assessed by bioelectrical...
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays an important role in breast cancer metastasis, especially the most aggressive and lethal subtype, “triple-negative cancer” (TNBC). Here, we report that CD146 is a unique activator of EMTs significantly correlates with TNBC. In epithelial cells, overexpression down-regulated markers up-regulated mesenchymal markers, promoted cell migration invasion, induced stem cell-like properties. We further found RhoA pathways positively regulated...
