MicroRNA-33 Silencing Reprograms the Immune Cell Landscape in Atherosclerotic Plaques
- Authors
- Milessa Silva AfonsoMonika SharmaMartin SchlegelCoen van Solingen11 more author(s)...
- 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 studies showed an abundance of functional Connexin43 (Cx43) hemichannels consequent to loss of plakophilin-2 (PKP2) expression in adult murine hearts. This study combined pre-embedding immunolabeling with serial block-face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) to visualize and examine the gap junction plaque morphology. They used a murine model of cardiomyocyte-specific Tamoxifen (TAM) activated...

- Description
This dataset includes microscopy images from paraffin embedding hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) as well as immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining’s for cleaved caspase-3, CD3 and CD11b. For these experiments, 6-8 week-old male and females mice from WT, Mavs+/- and Mavs-/- background were infected with 1E5 PFU of CHIKV, or mock-infected with (heat inactivated inoculum or PBS). Cardiac tissue was extracted...

- Description
The Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (MASALA) Study examines risk factors for heart disease among South Asians of Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepali, and Sri Lankan descent in the United States to guide preventative measures and future treatments. Beginning in 2010, eligible South Asian participants between the ages of 40 and 80 were recruited from the San Francisco...

Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule Required for Ventricular Conduction System Development
- Authors

- Description
The Purkinje cells (PCs) within the ventricular conduction system (VCS) has been widely investigated, because they are necessary for synchronous activation of the ventricular myocardium. This study identified genes that might influence PC development and VCS function. The differential transcriptional profiling revealed several highly enriched cell adhesion molecules in PCs. They uncovered two additional...

- Authors
- Natalia EberhardtMaria G. NovalRavneet KaurLetizia Amadori19 more author(s)...
- 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...
