Integrated single-cell RNA-seq analysis reveals mitochondrial calcium signaling as a modulator of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition.

Endothelial cells (ECs) are highly plastic, capable of differentiating into various cell types. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is crucial during embryonic development and contributes substantially to vascular dysfunction in many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). While targeting EndMT holds therapeutic promise, understanding its mechanisms and modulating its pathways remain challenging.

The 32nd Ion Channels Meeting, 17th-20th September 2023, Sète, France.

The 32nd Ion Channel Meetings were organized by the Ion Channels Association from September 17 to 20, 2023 in the Occitanie region (Sète). Researchers, post-docs and students from France, Europe and non-European countries came together to present and discuss their work on various themes covering the field of neuroscience, stem cells, hypoxia and pathophysiology cardiac. Through the plenary conference given by Professor Emilio Carbone and the 5 conferences organized by the scientific committee, attention was paid this year to autism, neuromotor and cardiac disorders and tumor aggressive processes.

Generation of vessel co-option lung metastases mouse models for single-cell isolation of metastases-derived cells and endothelial cells.

Tumor vessel co-option, a process in which cancer cells "hijack" pre-existing blood vessels to grow and invade healthy tissue, is poorly understood but is a proposed resistance mechanism against anti-angiogenic therapy (AAT). Here, we describe protocols for establishing murine renal (RENCA) and breast (4T1) cancer lung vessel co-option metastases models. Moreover, we outline a reproducible protocol for single-cell isolation from murine lung metastases using magnetic-activated cell sorting as well as immunohistochemical stainings to distinguish vessel co-option from angiogenesis.

TRPM8-Rap1A Interaction Sites as Critical Determinants for Adhesion and Migration of Prostate and Other Epithelial Cancer Cells.

Emerging evidence indicates that the TRPM8 channel plays an important role in prostate cancer (PCa) progression, by impairing the motility of these cancer cells. Here, we reveal a novel facet of PCa motility control via direct protein-protein interaction (PPI) of the channel with the small GTPase Rap1A. The functional interaction of the two proteins was assessed by active Rap1 pull-down assays and live-cell imaging experiments.
