Legumain promotes tubular ferroptosis by facilitating chaperone-mediated autophagy of GPX4 in AKI

Chuan'ai Chen et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that deficiency of legumain attenuates acute renal tubular injury, inflammation, and ferroptosis in acute kidney injury models induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury or folic acid. Legumain deficiency prevents chaperone-mediated autophagy of GPX4, dampening ferroptosis induced by hypoxia or erastin. The results suggest that legumain promotes tubular ferroptosis in acute kidney injury by promoting chaperone-mediated autophagy of GPX4.

Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein is an endogenous beta-arrestin-2-selective allosteric modulator of AT1 receptor counteracting vascular injury

Yi Fu et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the extracellular matrix protein COMP acts as an endogenous allosteric biased modulator of the AT1 receptor, inhibiting specific signaling pathways through the regulation of intracellular conformational states. COMP deficiency leads to exclusive AAA formation in response to AngII infusion, indicating a potential therapeutic target for cardiovascular diseases.

Inducible Depletion of Calpain-2 Mitigates Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in Mice

Latha Muniappan et al.

Summary: The study revealed that calpain-2 deficiency can prevent Ang II-induced cytoskeletal structural protein fragmentation and AAA development, as well as stabilize and suppress rupture of established AAAs in mice. This suggests that targeting calpain-2 may hold therapeutic potential for treating AAA.
