Article Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the correlation between serum angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) levels, white matter hyperintensity (WMH), and cognitive impairment (CI) in patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 171 patients with CSVD who attended the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from December 2021 to July 2022. All subjects underwent a 3.0T head magnetic resonance imaging, neuropsychology assessment, and blood sampling. Serum ANGPTL4 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the severity of WMH was assessed by the Fazekas scale. According to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale, subjects were divided into normal cognition group (NC, n = 80) and CI group (n = 91). According to the total Fazekas scores, subjects were divided into a mild WMH group (n = 84), a moderate WMH group (n = 70), and a severe WMH group (n = 17).
Results: Serum ANGPTL4 levels were significantly higher in the CI group than in the NC group (p < .05) and were negatively correlated with mini-mental state examination scores and MoCA scores (r = -0.26, -0.341, p < .05). Serum ANGPTL4 levels increased significantly in the mild to moderate WMH group but tended to decrease in the severe WMH group. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that ANGPTL4 was an independent influencing factor for CSVD-CI (OR = 2.062, 95% CI (1.591-2.674), p < .001). The area under curve of ANGPTL4 for CSVD-CI was 0.847 (0.791-0.903).
Conclusion: ANGPTL4 may be involved in the process of white matter damage and CI in CSVD patients and shows a diagnostic value for CSVD-CI.

Background And Aims: Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) forms complexes with ANGPTL3 and ANGPTL4 to regulate lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, and decreased LPL activity is an established cardiovascular risk factor. Serum levels of ANGPTL4/8 and C-terminal domain-containing ANGPTL4 (CD-ANGPTL4) are positively associated with cardiovascular death, however, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. The present study investigated relationships of ANGPTL3, ANGPTL3/8, CD-ANGPTL4, and ANGPTL4/8 with coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression (using Agatston scores) and incident coronary events.

Background: Atherosclerosis progresses through endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), and plaque instability. While ANGPTL4 (angiopoietin-like 4) is known for its metabolic functions, its role in endothelial homeostasis remains unclear.
Methods: We investigated the protective effects of ANGPTL4 on endothelial inflammation, vascular integrity, and EndMT using mice, human umbilical vein endothelial cells, human aortic endothelial cells, and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cells.

Maternal undernutrition (MUN) causes severe metabolic disruption in the offspring of mammals. Here we determined the role of histone modification in hepatic gene expression in late-gestation fetuses of nutritionally restricted cows, an established model using low-nutrition (LN) and high-nutrition (HN) conditions. The chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing results show that genes with an altered trimethylation of histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) are associated with cortisol synthesis and secretion, the PPAR signaling pathway, and aldosterone synthesis and secretion.

Cholesterol stress profoundly modulates cellular processes, but its underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. To investigate cholesterol-responsive networks, we performed integrated transcriptome (RNA-seq) and metabolome (LC-MS) analyses on HeLa cells treated with cholesterol for 6 and 24 h. Through transcriptomic analysis of cholesterol-stressed HeLa cells, we identified stage-specific responses characterized by early-phase stress responses and late-phase immune-metabolic coordination.

Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a biliary tract cancer with a poor prognosis. Consistent evidence suggests that fasting has extensive antitumor effects in various cancers and influences levels of poly (rC)-binding protein 2 (PCBP2). However, whether fasting and PCBP2 are involved in GBC remains unknown.
