Exosome miR-199a-5p modulated vascular remodeling and inflammatory infiltration of Takayasu's arteritis.

Arthritis Res Ther

January 2025

Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.

Background: Advances in treatment have swiftly alleviated systemic inflammation of Takayasu's arteritis (TAK), while subclinical vascular inflammation and the ensuing arterial remodeling continue to present unresolved challenges in TAK. The phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) is regarded as the first step in vascular pathology and contributes to arterial remodeling. Exosomes facilitate the transfer and exchange of proteins and specific nucleic acids, thereby playing a significant role in intercellular communication.

Screening for transcriptomic associations with Swine Inflammation and Necrosis Syndrome.

BMC Vet Res

January 2025

Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, Clinic for Swine, Justus-Liebig-University, Frankfurter Strasse 112, D-35392, Giessen, Germany.

Background: The recently identified swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome (SINS) affects tail, ears, teats, coronary bands, claws and heels of affected individuals. The primarily endogenous syndrome is based on vasculitis, thrombosis, and intimal proliferation, involving defence cells, interleukins, chemokines, and acute phase proteins and accompanied by alterations in clinical chemistry, metabolome, and liver transcriptome. The complexity of metabolic alterations and the influence of the boar led to hypothesize a polygenic architecture of SINS.

Bone marrow-derived NGFR-positive dendritic cells regulate arterial remodeling.

Am J Physiol Cell Physiol

February 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Graduate School of Medical Science, Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan.

It has been proposed that bone marrow contributes to the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis. Nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) is expressed in bone marrow stromal cells; it is also present in peripheral blood and ischemic coronary arteries. We hypothesized that bone marrow-derived NGFR-positive (NGFR) cells regulate arterial remodeling.

Article Synopsis
  • Intimal hyperplasia (IH) is a major issue in vascular interventions, and this study investigates the role of gangliosides GA2 in its development.
  • Researchers found that GA2 levels were significantly higher in atherosclerotic mouse aortae and plasma, and injecting GA2 worsened IH by interacting with macrophages.
  • The study reveals that GA2 activates caspase-4 and promotes pyroptosis in macrophages, suggesting a new mechanism for IH that could lead to potential diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix inhibits the activation of vascular adventitial fibroblasts and vascular intimal proliferation by regulating the TGF-β1/Smad2/3 pathway.

J Ethnopharmacol

School of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Hunan University of Chinese Medicine, 300 Bachelor Road, Hanpu Science and Education Park, Yuelu District, 410208Changsha City, Hunan Province, China; Hunan Key Laboratory of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine for Prevention and Treatment of Heart and Brain Diseases, 410208, Changsha, China. Electronic address:

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix is an important traditional Chinese medicine used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Our previous studies have shown that Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix can inhibit vascular intimal hyperplasia and improve the blood vessel wall's ECM deposition, among which six main active components can be absorbed into the blood, suggesting that these components may be the main pharmacodynamic substances of Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix against vascular intimal hyperplasia.

Aim Of The Study: A mouse model of atherosclerosis was used to study the relationship between the anti-intimal hyperplasia effect of Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix and the inhibition of VAF activation and ECM synthesis.
