Genes That Escape X Chromosome Inactivation Modulate Sex Differences in Valve Myofibroblasts

Brian A. Aguado et al.

Summary: Aortic valve stenosis, a condition that affects the aortic valve, has sex differences with women presenting with sustained fibrosis and men with more extensive calcification. This study examined the intracellular molecular mechanisms that drive these sex differences by using a hydrogel culture system and found that sex-specific valvular interstitial cells had different responses to microenvironmental cues, suggesting the importance of considering sex as a biological variable in understanding and treating aortic valve stenosis.

The Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition at the Crossroads between Metabolism and Tumor Progression

Monica Fedele et al.

Summary: The transition between epithelial and mesenchymal phenotype plays a key role in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. This process, known as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its reverse process called mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), is closely associated with metabolic changes and successful cancer progression. This review focuses on the complex interaction between EMT and metabolism during tumor progression, with a particular emphasis on cancer stem cells and Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs). Specific cancers such as breast, lung, and thyroid cancer are also discussed.

ROCK1 mechano-signaling dependency of human malignancies driven by TEAD/YAP activation

Davide Esposito et al.

Summary: This study reveals that p53 DNA contact mutations indirectly upregulate TEAD/YAP transcription and transform cells through hyperactivation of RhoA/ROCK/actomyosin signaling. Recurrent lesions in the Hippo pathway depend on ROCK1/actomyosin signaling to drive oncogenic TEAD/YAP transcription.

Development of a bi-layered cryogenic electrospun polylactic acid scaffold to study calcific aortic valve disease in a 3D co-culture model

Kathrin Stadelmann et al.

Summary: This study developed a 3D in vitro model of the aortic heart valve that resembles the morphology and behavior of the native valve. It used a bi-layered electrospun scaffold to allow the growth of valvular endothelial cells and valvular interstitial cells, and successfully performed calcification studies.

CircTUBGCP3 Contributes to the Malignant Progression of Rectal Cancer

Yuanyuan Wang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that circTUBGCP3 acts as an oncogene in rectal cancer, promoting malignant phenotypes by modulating the miR-375/ROCK1 axis. The findings provide evidence that circTUBGCP3 up-regulation contributes to rectal cancer progression, and the effects are largely mediated by miR-375.

PALMD regulates aortic valve calcification via altered glycolysis and NF-ΚB-mediated inflammation

Siying Wang et al.

Summary: This study reveals that PALMD, a gene associated with calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), plays a role in the development of CAVD by regulating glycolysis and NF-kappa B-mediated inflammation. Targeting PALMD-mediated glycolysis may be a novel therapeutic strategy for treating CAVD.

Targeting Mitochondrial OXPHOS and Their Regulatory Signals in Prostate Cancers

Chia-Lin Chen et al.

Summary: Tumor development requires metabolic adaptations to meet energy demands, with strategies including shifting from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis. In prostate cancer, OXPHOS increases compared to normal tissue, presenting therapeutic opportunities for targeting mitochondrial activities. Selective targeting of cancer mitochondria over normal counterparts is a challenge in developing OXPHOS inhibitors.

Metformin alleviates the calcification of aortic valve interstitial cells through activating the PI3K/AKT pathway in an AMPK dependent way

Qiao En et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that metformin can inhibit aortic valve interstitial cells calcification by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, suggesting a potential target for the treatment of CAVD. The PI3K/AKT signaling pathway emerges as an important regulatory axis in the pathological mechanism of CAVD.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Cause or Consequence of Vascular Calcification?

Kanchan Phadwal et al.

Summary: Mitochondria play a crucial role in bioenergetics and biosynthesis within cells, but under oxidative stress, they can lead to dysfunction and cellular apoptosis, contributing to aging and inflammatory states. Maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis is essential for preserving the contractile phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells, while mitochondrial dysfunction may directly contribute to vascular calcification and related pathologies.

DUSP26 induces aortic valve calcification by antagonizing MDM2-mediated ubiquitination of DPP4 in human valvular interstitial cells

Yongjun Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that dual-specificity phosphatase 26 (DUSP26) promotes calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) progression by inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) degradation. This previously unrecognized mechanism could potentially serve as a new therapeutic strategy to impede the progression of CAVD.
