YBX1, a DNA-/RNA-binding protein, is implicated in various diseases, yet its role in intimal hyperplasia (IH) remains unclear. This study investigates YBX1's function in rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) through knockdown experiments. Results show that YBX1 knockdown reduces cell proliferation and migration while inducing apoptosis. ELISA and western blot analyses revealed increased levels of the anti-inflammatory factor IL10 and markers for phenotypic transformation, Calponin and Myocardin. Transcriptome sequencing identified 1598 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), with 347 upregulated and 1251 downregulated. Upregulated DEGs were linked to pathways like ECM-receptor interaction and Wnt signalling, while downregulated genes involved cell cycle and p53 signalling. Additionally, 629 significant alternative splicing events were noted, primarily affecting pathways related to cell division and migration. Integrated analysis of YBX1-bound RNAs and RNA-seq data highlighted key DEGs, such as CCNB1 and TPM1, which are crucial for vascular cell behaviour. This study underscores YBX1's vital role in RASMCs and suggests potential therapeutic targets for IH treatment.

Small-caliber artificial blood vessels are highly demanded and face challenges, including thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia. The excellent properties of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) make it an excellent material for preparing artificial blood vessels. Heparin (Hep)-loaded silk fibroin microparticles (SFMPs) were synthesized in situ within the conduit wall via liquid pressure injection and phase separation, aiming to improve BNC's anticoagulant properties.

Pathological vascular remodeling and intimal hyperplasia after vascular injury are representative pathological processes in age-associated vascular diseases. Previous data from our laboratory have indicated that sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) cleavage-activating protein (SCAP) contributes to physiological angiogenesis during embryonic development. However, the role of SCAP in neointima formation is not fully understood.

Objective: This study performed untargeted LC-MS metabolomics on venous tissues from maintenance hemodialysis patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula (AVF) reconstruction surgery.
Methods: A total of six stenotic and six non-stenotic AVF tissues were analyzed. Paired samples were collected from stenotic AVF segments and non-stenotic regions (control group).

Intimal hyperplasia (IH) compromises the patency of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) vascular access in patients with end-stage kidney disease. Uncontrolled cell proliferation and migration, driven by inflammation, shear stress and surgery, are well-known triggers in IH. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as regulators of core mechanisms in cardiovascular diseases and as potential markers of IH.

Introduction: The principal challenge in maintaining functional vascular access for hemodialysis is managing outflow stenoses, which are primarily caused by intimal hyperplasia. These stenoses are the leading cause of access dysfunction, leading to inadequate dialysis, increased morbidity, and frequent reinterventions. While drug-coated balloons (DCBs) have emerged as a promising solution by delivering antiproliferative agents to reduce restenosis rates, further clinical insights are needed to establish their role in vascular access management.
