Engineered multi-functional, pro-angiogenic collagen-based scaffolds loaded with endothelial cells promote large deep burn wound healing

Hengyue Song, Kewa Gao, Dake Hao, Andrew Li, Ruiwu Liu, Bryan Anggito, Boyan Yin, Qianyu Jin, Vanessa Dartora, Kit S. Lam, Lucas R. Smith, Alyssa Panitch, Jianda Zhou, Diana L. Farmer, Aijun Wang

Summary: The lack of vascularization associated with deep burns delays wound healing, increases infection risks, and leads to hypertrophic scars or disfigurement. To address this challenge, a multi-functional pro-angiogenic molecule, LXW7-DS-SILY (LDS), was fabricated and used to functionalize collagen-based Integra scaffolds. In a mouse burn wound model, LDS-modified Integra scaffolds loaded with endothelial cells (ECs) accelerated wound healing rate, re-epithelialization, vascularization, and collagen deposition. These scaffolds have the potential to reduce morbidity associated with open burn wounds and the need for autografting in patients with limited areas of harvestable skin.

Hypoxia activates GPR146 which participates in pulmonary vascular remodeling by promoting pyroptosis of pulmonary artery endothelial cells

Yanjiao Jiang, Jie Huang, Yu Xia, Zengxian Sun, Panpan Hu, Dapeng Wang, Yi Liu, Ting Tao, Yun Liu

Summary: This study investigates the effects of hypoxia on pyroptosis of pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs). The results show that the expression of the GPR146 gene is upregulated under hypoxia and silencing GPR146 can inhibit pyroptosis and inflammatory responses. These findings suggest that hypoxia may promote PAECs pyroptosis through upregulation of GPR146, contributing to the progression of pulmonary hypertension (PH), and targeting GPR146 may be a potential treatment strategy for PH.

The emerging landscape of non-conventional RNA functions in atherosclerosis

Floriana Maria Farina, Christian Weber, Donato Santovito

Summary: Most of our genome is transcribed into ncRNAs, including miRNAs, lncRNAs, circRNAs, etc., which play important roles in regulating gene expression at various levels. They are involved in chromatin remodeling, transcriptional regulation, mRNA splicing, stability, and decay, and ultimately affect physiological and pathological mechanisms in vascular biology and atherosclerosis. Recent research has revealed unexpected findings, expanding the functional repertoire of ncRNAs beyond gene regulation and highlighting an additional layer of biological control. This review discusses emerging aspects of ncRNA biology, their implications for vascular biology and atherosclerosis, and possible translational applications.

Summary: The CD40-CD40L dyad has an important role in chronic inflammatory diseases associated with aging. This study found that CD40 is also present on adipocytes. Deficiency of adipocyte CD40 leads to a decrease in bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells, increased T-cell activation, and elevated corticosterone levels, particularly with age. However, adipocyte CD40 deficiency also reduces atherosclerosis burden and ameliorates diet-induced obesity.

Neuroimmune cardiovascular interfaces in atherosclerosis

Sarajo K. Mohanta, Changjun Yin, Christian Weber, Andreas J. R. Habenicht

Summary: Two pairs of biological systems, namely the nervous and vascular systems, and the nervous and immune systems, have been defined as major participants in the regulation of physiological and pathological tissue reactions. The interactions between these systems have led to the concepts of neurovascular link and neuroimmunology. Recent studies on atherosclerosis have proposed the concept of neuroimmune cardiovascular interfaces (NICIs), which involve complex crosstalks between the nervous system, immune system, and cardiovascular system.
