Abstract Vascular calcification is highly prevalent in end-stage renal diseases and predictive of cardiovascular events mortality. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibition or deletion vasoprotective several disease models. Here we show that PARP activity increased radial artery samples from patients with chronic failure, arteries uraemic rats, calcified vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) vitro. PARP1 deficiency blocks, whereas overexpression exacerbates, the transdifferentiation...

C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 13 (CTRP13) is a secreted adipokine that can ameliorate abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism. However, the functional role of CTRP13 in development atherosclerotic plaques has yet to be described. In this study, we collected blood samples from patients coronary artery diseases apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-/- mice were fed Western diet for 12 wk induce atherosclerosis found serum level was decreased. En face staining aortas aortic sinus ApoE-/- showed...

Flavonoids exert both anti-oxidant and anti-platelet activities in vitro vivo. Pentamethylquercetin (PMQ), a polymethoxylated flavone derivative, has been screened for anti-carcinogenic cardioprotective effects. However, it is unclear whether PMQ anti-thrombotic In the present study, (20 mg/kg) significantly inhibited thrombus formation collagen- epinephrine- induced acute pulmonary thrombosis mouse model ferric chloride-induced carotid injury model. To explore mechanism, we evaluated...

Obesity is a growing global health threat, and inducing browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) to increase energy expenditure has become an attractive strategy for treating obesity related metabolic complications. BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1), ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase (UCH) domain-containing deubiquitinase (DUB) expressed broadly across tissues, previously been shown play important role in liver carbohydrate lipid metabolism. However, its the inguinal (iWAT) not studied. Our study...

Gut inflammation caused by diets could damage the intestinal barrier, which increases liver exposition to pathogenic substances. Toll-IL-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing adaptor molecule-1 (Ticam1) is a key molecule in Toll-like receptors (TLRs) pathway, important for immune defense against pathogens such as bacteria or viruses. In this study, mouse epithelial cell (IEC) Ticam1 was knocked out suppress response metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) investigate its...
