The causal association between cardiovascular proteins and diabetic nephropathy: a Mendelian randomization study.

Int Urol Nephrol

January 2025

Department of Nephrology, Jiangxi Medical College, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China.

Purpose: To clarify the causal association between cardiovascular proteins and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in Europeans.

Methods: The large genome-wide association study data of cardiovascular proteins and DN were used for this two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. We took the Inverse variance weighted (IVW) as the primary method.

Characterizing SV40-hTERT Immortalized Human Lung Microvascular Endothelial Cells as Model System for Mechanical Stretch-Induced Lung Injury.

Int J Mol Sci

January 2025

Clinical Division of General Anaesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, Department of Anesthesia, Genera Intensive Care and Pain Therapy, Medical University Vienna, 1090 Vienna, Austria.

Drug development for human disease relies on preclinical model systems such as human cell cultures and animal experiments before therapeutic treatments can ultimately be tested on humans in clinical studies. We here describe the generation of a novel human cell line (HLMVEC/SVTERT289) that we generated by transfection of microvascular endothelial cells from healthy donor lung tissue with the catalytic domain of telomerase and the SV40 large T/small t-antigen. These cells exhibited satisfactory growth characteristics and largely maintained their native characteristics, including morphology, cell surface marker expression, angiogenic potential and the protein composition of secreted extracellular vesicles.

Characterization of gene-environment interactions for vitamin D through variance quantitative trait loci: a UK Biobank-based genetic epidemiology study.

Am J Clin Nutr

January 2025

Division of Biostatistics, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada; Division of Epidemiology, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada; Genetics and Genome Biology, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON, Canada.

Background: Understanding gene-environment interactions associated with vitamin D status may refine nutrition and public health strategies for vitamin D deficiency. Recent methodological advances have enabled the identification of variance quantitative trait loci (vQTLs) where gene-environment interactions are enriched.

Objectives: To identify vQTLs for serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD) concentrations and characterize potential gene-environment interactions of vQTLs.

Pharmacometabolomics Enables Real-World Drug Metabolism Sciences.

Metabolites

January 2025

: Pharmacogenomics (PGx) has revolutionized personalized medicine, notably by predicting drug responses through the study of the metabolic genotype of drug-metabolizing enzymes. However, these genotypes rely heavily on the availability and completeness of drug metabolism information and do not account for (all) "phenoconversion" factors, like drug-drug interactions and comorbidities. To address these limitations, a more phenotypic approach would be desirable, for which pharmacometabolomics (PMx) could be useful by studying and elucidating drug metabolism in patient samples, such as blood and urine.

Apart from ancestry, personal or environmental covariates may contribute to differences in polygenic score (PGS) performance. We analyzed the effects of covariate stratification and interaction on body mass index (BMI) PGS (PGS) across four cohorts of European (N = 491,111) and African (N = 21,612) ancestry. Stratifying on binary covariates and quintiles for continuous covariates, 18/62 covariates had significant and replicable R differences among strata.
