    Description: Aortic aneurysm and dissection are manifestations of Marfan syndrome (MFS), a disorder caused by mutations in the gene that encodes fibrillin-1. Selected manifestations of MFS reflect excessive signaling by the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family of cytokines. We show that aortic aneurysm in a mouse model of MFS is associated with increased TGF-beta signaling and can be prevented by TGF-beta antagonists such as TGF-beta-neutralizing antibody or the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) blocker, losartan. AT1 antagonism also partially reversed noncardiovascular manifestations of MFS, including impaired alveolar septation. These data suggest that losartan, a drug already in clinical use for hypertension, merits investigation as a therapeutic strategy for patients with MFS and has the potential to prevent the major life-threatening manifestation of this disorder.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1482474/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1482474/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Habashi, Jennifer P -- Judge, Daniel P -- Holm, Tammy M -- Cohn, Ronald D -- Loeys, Bart L -- Cooper, Timothy K -- Myers, Loretha -- Klein, Erin C -- Liu, Guosheng -- Calvi, Carla -- Podowski, Megan -- Neptune, Enid R -- Halushka, Marc K -- Bedja, Djahida -- Gabrielson, Kathleen -- Rifkin, Daniel B -- Carta, Luca -- Ramirez, Francesco -- Huso, David L -- Dietz, Harry C -- K08 HL067056/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Apr 7;312(5770):117-21.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Department of Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16601194" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The availability of human genome sequence has transformed biomedical research over the past decade. However, an equivalent map for the human proteome with direct measurements of proteins and peptides does not exist yet. Here we present a draft map of the human proteome using high-resolution Fourier-transform mass spectrometry. In-depth proteomic profiling of 30 histologically normal human samples, including 17 adult tissues, 7 fetal tissues and 6 purified primary haematopoietic cells, resulted in identification of proteins encoded by 17,294 genes accounting for approximately 84% of the total annotated protein-coding genes in humans. A unique and comprehensive strategy for proteogenomic analysis enabled us to discover a number of novel protein-coding regions, which includes translated pseudogenes, non-coding RNAs and upstream open reading frames. This large human proteome catalogue (available as an interactive web-based resource at http://www.humanproteomemap.org) will complement available human genome and transcriptome data to accelerate biomedical research in health and disease.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4403737/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4403737/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kim, Min-Sik -- Pinto, Sneha M -- Getnet, Derese -- Nirujogi, Raja Sekhar -- Manda, Srikanth S -- Chaerkady, Raghothama -- Madugundu, Anil K -- Kelkar, Dhanashree S -- Isserlin, Ruth -- Jain, Shobhit -- Thomas, Joji K -- Muthusamy, Babylakshmi -- Leal-Rojas, Pamela -- Kumar, Praveen -- Sahasrabuddhe, Nandini A -- Balakrishnan, Lavanya -- Advani, Jayshree -- George, Bijesh -- Renuse, Santosh -- Selvan, Lakshmi Dhevi N -- Patil, Arun H -- Nanjappa, Vishalakshi -- Radhakrishnan, Aneesha -- Prasad, Samarjeet -- Subbannayya, Tejaswini -- Raju, Rajesh -- Kumar, Manish -- Sreenivasamurthy, Sreelakshmi K -- Marimuthu, Arivusudar -- Sathe, Gajanan J -- Chavan, Sandip -- Datta, Keshava K -- Subbannayya, Yashwanth -- Sahu, Apeksha -- Yelamanchi, Soujanya D -- Jayaram, Savita -- Rajagopalan, Pavithra -- Sharma, Jyoti -- Murthy, Krishna R -- Syed, Nazia -- Goel, Renu -- Khan, Aafaque A -- Ahmad, Sartaj -- Dey, Gourav -- Mudgal, Keshav -- Chatterjee, Aditi -- Huang, Tai-Chung -- Zhong, Jun -- Wu, Xinyan -- Shaw, Patrick G -- Freed, Donald -- Zahari, Muhammad S -- Mukherjee, Kanchan K -- Shankar, Subramanian -- Mahadevan, Anita -- Lam, Henry -- Mitchell, Christopher J -- Shankar, Susarla Krishna -- Satishchandra, Parthasarathy -- Schroeder, John T -- Sirdeshmukh, Ravi -- Maitra, Anirban -- Leach, Steven D -- Drake, Charles G -- Halushka, Marc K -- Prasad, T S Keshava -- Hruban, Ralph H -- Kerr, Candace L -- Bader, Gary D -- Iacobuzio-Donahue, Christine A -- Gowda, Harsha -- Pandey, Akhilesh -- HHSN268201000032C/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HHSN268201000032C/PHS HHS/ -- P41 GM103504/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P41GM103504/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- T32 GM007814/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U24 CA160036/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U24CA160036/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- U54 GM103520/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- U54GM103520/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2014 May 29;509(7502):575-81. doi: 10.1038/nature13302.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉1] McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland 21205, USA [2] Department of Biological Chemistry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland 21205, USA. ;

    Description: Melanopsin (opsin4; Opn4), a non-image-forming opsin, has been linked to a number of behavioral responses to light, including circadian photo-entrainment, light suppression of activity in nocturnal animals, and alertness in diurnal animals. We report a physiological role for Opn4 in regulating blood vessel function, particularly in the context of photorelaxation....

    Description: miR-143 and miR-145 are co-expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) that have been extensively studied as potential tumor suppressors. These miRNAs are highly expressed in the colon and are consistently reported as being downregulated in colorectal and other cancers. Through regulation of multiple targets, they elicit potent effects on cancer cell growth and tumorigenesis. Importantly, a recent discovery demonstrates that miR-143 and miR-145 are not expressed in colonic epithelial cells; rather, these two miRNAs are highly expressed in mesenchymal cells such as fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells. The expression patterns of miR-143 and miR-145 and other miRNAs were initially determined from tissue level data without consideration that multiple different cell types, each with their own unique miRNA expression patterns, make up each tissue. Herein, we discuss the early reports on the identification of dysregulated miR-143 and miR-145 expression in colorectal cancer and how lack of consideration of cellular composition of normal tissue led to the misconception that these miRNAs are downregulated in cancer. We evaluate mechanistic data from miR-143/145 studies in context of their cell type-restricted expression pattern and the potential of these miRNAs to be considered tumor suppressors. Further, we examine other examples of miRNAs being investigated in inappropriate cell types modulating pathways in a non-biological fashion. Our review highlights the importance of determining the cellular expression pattern of each miRNA, so that downstream studies are conducted in the appropriate cell type.
