Inflammation induces endothelial ‐to‐mesenchymal transition and promotes vascular calcification through downregulation of BMPR2
ABSTRACTEndothelial ‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT) has been unveiled as a common cause for a multitude of human pathologies, including cancer and cardiovascular disease. Vascular calcification is a risk factor for ischemic vascular disorders and slowing calcification may reduce mortality in affected patients. T he absence of early biomarkers hampers the identification of patients at risk. EndMT and vascular calcification are induced upon cooperation between distinct stimuli, including inflammatory cytokines and transforming growth factor beta (TGF‐β) family members. However, how these signaling pathways interpla...

Single ‐cell sequencing defines genetic heterogeneity in pancreatic cancer precursor lesions
The objective of this study was to characterize genetic heterogeneity in IPMNs at the single ‐cell level. We isolated single cells from fresh tissue from ten IPMNs, followed by whole genome amplification and targeted next generation sequencing of pancreatic driver genes. We then determined single‐cell genotypes using a novel multi‐sample mutation calling algorithm. Our analyses reveal ed that different mutations in the same driver gene frequently occur in the same IPMN. Two IPMNs had multiple mutations in the initiating driver geneKRAS that occurred in unique tumor clones, suggesting the possibility of polyclonal ori...

Doxorubicin ‐induced cardiotoxicity involves IFNγ‐mediated metabolic reprogramming in cardiomyocytes
We report here that DOX‐induced heart dysfunction involves IFNγ signaling in mice. The IFNγ receptor was found to be highly expressed on cardiomyocytes, and its downstream signaling was activated in heart tissues upon DOX treatment.In vitro, IFN γ strongly aggravated the injury of cardiomyocytes exposed to DOX. Although not affecting DOX‐induced cell death, IFNγ disrupted mitochondrial respiration and fatty acid oxidation in DOX‐exposed cardiomyocytes. IFNγ extended the suppression of the AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK)/acetyl‐ CoA carboxylase (ACC) axis by DOX to a p38‐dependent branch. Activation of ...
