Abstract
Moyamoya disease, characterized by basal cerebral artery obstruction, was studied for differential protein expression to elucidate its pathogenesis. Proteomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid from 10 patients, categorized by postoperative angiography into good and poor prognosis groups, revealed 46 differentially expressed proteins. Notably, cadherin 18 (CDH18) was the most significantly upregulated in the good prognosis group. In addition, the expression of cadherin 18 (CDH18) and phenotypic transformation-related proteins were measured by qRT-PCR and western blot. The effects of CDH18 in vascular smooth muscle cells were detected by CCK-8, EdU, transwell and wound healing assays. The overexpression of CDH18 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) was found to inhibit proliferation, migration, and phenotypic transformation. These findings suggest CDH18 as a potential therapeutic target in moyamoya disease.
期刊介绍:
Biology Direct serves the life science research community as an open access, peer-reviewed online journal, providing authors and readers with an alternative to the traditional model of peer review. Biology Direct considers original research articles, hypotheses, comments, discovery notes and reviews in subject areas currently identified as those most conducive to the open review approach, primarily those with a significant non-experimental component.
