Description: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study is a prospective longitudinal epidemiological study conducted in four communities: Forsyth County (North Carolina), Jackson (Mississippi), Minneapolis (Minnesota), and Washington County (Maryland). ARIC is designed to investigate the causes of atherosclerosis and its clinical outcomes, and variations in cardiovascular risk factors, medical care,...

Description: Psychological stress is linked with systemic inflammation. It accelerates inflammatory disease progression and monocytes are key in sustaining systemic inflammation. However, the mechanisms underlying stress-mediated inflammation and future health risk remains unknown. This study examined the impact of psychological stress on monocytes and showed that psychological stress induces remodeling of the...

Description: MicroRNA-33 (miR-33) targeted inhibition increases plasma HDL cholesterol and promotes atherosclerosis regression by enhancing reverse cholesterol transport and dampening plaque inflammation. This study showed how miR-33 inhibition alters the dynamic balance and transcriptional landscape of immune cells in atherosclerotic plaques. They used single cell RNA sequencing of aortic CD45+ cells, combined...

Description: Previous study indicated that the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in the progression and regression of atherosclerosis. Therefore, this study examined if Diaphanous 1 (DIAPH1) binds to the RAGE cytoplasmic domain and contributes to progression of atherosclerosis. They intercrossed atherosclerosis prone Ldlr−/− mice with mice devoid of Diaph1 and fed them Western diet for 16 weeks....

Description: This study combined multiple techniques (e.g., RNAscope in-situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, single-cell RNA sequencing, bulk RNA sequencing, and functional assays) to investigate the inflammatory response associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection in human vascular tissues. Single cell RNA-sequencing data obtained from samples collected for this study is available via the Gene...
