Objective: Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) is a key pathophysiological feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), contributing to myocardial ischemia and representing a critical determinant of patients' adverse outcome. The molecular mechanisms underlying the morphological and functional changes of CMD are still unknown. Aim of this study was to obtain insights on the molecular pathways associated with microvessel remodeling in HCM.

Methods: Interventricular septum myectomies from patients with obstructive HCM (n = 20) and donors' hearts (CTRL, discarded for technical reasons, n = 7) were collected. Remodeled intramyocardial arterioles and cardiomyocytes were microdissected by laser capture and next-generation sequencing was used to delineate the transcriptome profile.

Results: We identified 720 exclusive differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in cardiomyocytes and 1315 exclusive DEGs in remodeled arterioles of HCM. Performing gene ontology and pathway enrichment analyses, we identified selectively altered pathways between remodeled arterioles and cardiomyocytes in HCM patients and controls.

Conclusions: We demonstrate the existence of distinctive pathways between remodeled arterioles and cardiomyocytes in HCM patients and controls at the transcriptome level.

Chrysoeriol: a natural RANKL inhibitor targeting osteoclastogenesis and ROS regulation for osteoporosis therapy.

Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol

January 2025

The Key Laboratory of Spine and Spinal Cord Disease of Jiangxi Province, Nanchang, 330006, China.

Chrysoeriol (CHE) is a naturally occurring compound with established anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects. This study examines its potential role in regulating osteoclast differentiation and activity, both of which are crucial for bone remodeling. Computational docking revealed high binding affinity between CHE and RANKL, specifically at the Lys-181 residue of RANKL, suggesting potential inhibitory interactions on osteoclastogenesis.

ATRX loss inhibits DDR to strengthen radio-sensitization in p53-deficent HCT116 cells.

Sci Rep

January 2025

NHC Key Laboratory of Radiobiology (Jilin University), School of Public Health, Jilin University, Changchun, 130021, Jilin, People's Republic of China.

Identifying novel targets for molecular radiosensitization is critical for improving the efficacy of colorectal cancer (CRC) radiotherapy. Alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation X-linked (ATRX), a member of the SWI/SNF-like chromatin remodeling protein family, functions in the maintenance of genomic integrity and the regulation of apoptosis and senescence. However, whether ATRX is directly involved in the radiosensitivity of CRC remains unclear.

Doxorubicin, a representative drug of the anthracycline class, is widely used in cancer treatment. However, Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) presents a significant challenge in its clinical application. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a central role in DIC, primarily through disrupting mitochondrial dynamics.

Cancer Center, Department of Medical Oncology, Key Laboratory of Tumor Molecular Diagnosis and Individualized Medicine of Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital (Affiliated People's Hospital, Hangzhou Medical College), Hangzhou, China. Electronic address:

Introduction: Parkin-mediated mitophagy is essential for the clearance of damaged mitochondria, and it inhibits tumour development. The role of mitophagy in modulating tumour immunity is becoming clearer, but the underlying mechanism is still poorly understood.

Objective: This study was designed to examine the role for Parkin in the immune microenvironment of liver tumors induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl).

IGSF8 impairs migration and invasion of trophoblast cells and angiogenesis in preeclampsia.

Exp Cell Res

January 2025

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin 150001, Heilongjiang, China. Electronic address:

Insufficient trophoblast cell infiltration is implicated in the progression of preeclampsia (PE). The immunoglobulin superfamily member 8 (IGSF8) has been shown to promote cell migration, invasion, and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the specific impact of IGSF8 on trophoblast cells in PE has not been definitively demonstrated.
