Project description:This research aimed to investigate the aberrant expression of circRNA, messenger RNA, and microRNA in orbital venous malformation. A competitive endogenous RNA network was constructed to elucidate their potential roles in orbital venous malformation.

Project description:Somatic activating PIK3CA mutations cause sporadic venous malformation
Project description:Cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) is a rare neurovascular disease that is characterized by enlarged and irregular blood vessels that often lead to cerebral hemorrhage. Loss-of-function mutations to any of three genes results in CCM lesion formation; namely, CCM1, CCM2, and CCM3. Here, we report for the first time in-depth single-cell RNA sequencing, combined with spatial transcriptomics and immunohistochemistry, to comprehensively characterize subclasses of brain endothelial cells under both normal conditions and after deletion of Ccm3 in a mouse model of CCM. Integrated single-cell analysis identifies arterial endothelial cells as refractory to CCM transformation. Conversely, a subset of angiogenic venous capillary endothelial cells and respective resident endothelial progenitors is at the origin of CCM lesions. These data are relevant for the understanding of the plasticity of the brain vascular system and provide novel insights into the molecular basis of CCM disease at the single cell level.
Project description:Comparison of transcriptional profiles of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) expressing wild-type vs. VM-causative mutant forms of TIE2/TEK. The effects of the most common Venous Malformation-causative mutations in the endothelial cell tyrosine kinase receptor: R849W and L914F, were tested. 743 genes were differentially expressed across the four groups. The 80 genes distinguishing between L914F and wild-type TIE2-expressing HUVECs were analyzed in greater detail.

The 80 genes distinguishing between L914F and wild-type TIE2-expressing HUVECs were analyzed in greater detail. 3 batches each of: non-transfected, and wild-type TIE2, R849W-TIE2, and L914F-TIE2 overexpressing HUVECs were compared by exon-array profiling.
