Their ability to traffic molecular cargo between cells highlights their role in intercellular communication, and consequently their involvement in mediating molecular events at the basis of physiological and pathologic processes. EVs encapsulate miRNAs within their lumen, shielding them from circulating ribonucleases, which would otherwise catalyze their degradation. However, there is an ongoing debate regarding the implication of miRNA contained within EVs in modulating biological activities on a molecular level. Therefore, the aim of the present review is to discuss the role of EV-derived miRNA, focusing on their implication in molecular mechanisms underlying atheroma formation. EVs of endothelial origin can regulate monocyte activation by transferring miR-10a that targets components of the inflammatory pathway. Tail vein administration of EVs derived from endothelial cells enriched in miR-34c-5p markedly reduces atherosclerosis progression. In patients with stable coronary artery disease, elevated levels of miR-126 and miR-199a in circulating EVs are significantly associated with a reduced incidence of major adverse cardiovascular event rate.

Although numerous studies have demonstrated the significance of ALDH2 in alcohol-associated liver disease, its role in alcohol-induced activation of liver progenitor cells (LPCs) has not been thoroughly investigated. Proteomic analysis of serum samples from patients with either normal ALDH2 genotype or ALDH2 mutation following alcohol consumption revealed that ALDH2 deficiency may suppress LPC proliferation. To test this hypothesis, Aldh2 knockout (Aldh2KO) mice were generated and fed a 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl1,4-dihydrocollidine-supplemented diet along with 10% ethanol in drinking water. A significant inhibition of LPC proliferation was observed in Aldh2KO mice after alcohol exposure, as indicated by reduced numbers of pan-cytokeratin (PanCK)- and Ki-67-positive cells in the liver. Bulk RNA sequencing revealed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl1,4-dihydrocollidine plus ethanol-fed Aldh2KO mice were enriched in pathways related to inflammation (up-regulated DEGs) and cell cycle suppression (down-regulated DEGs) based on Reactome pathway analysis compared with wild-type mice. Mechanistically, alcohol exposure in Aldh2KO mice led to reduced LPC proliferation, likely mediated by enhanced hepatic pyroptosis and inflammatory responses. In conclusion, these findings suggest that ALDH2 deficiency appears to impair LPC proliferation in alcohol-associated liver disease, highlighting the critical role of ALDH2 in liver regeneration following alcohol-induced injury.</p>","PeriodicalId":7623,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Pathology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145005771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It regulates various processes, including adipogenesis, metabolism, and inflammation. White and brown adipose tissue (WAT and BAT) consists of white and brown adipocytes, respectively, which differ in cellular structure and function. Adipocytes also make up a significant part of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), which forms a sheath-like structure around blood vessels. Current research indicates that WAT, BAT, and PVAT are negatively affected by ethanol (ethyl alcohol). The changes induced by ethanol in the storage, metabolic, and secretory functions of PVAT and WAT are linked to vascular and hepatic dysfunction. In this context, while adipose tissue is a target of the harmful effects of ethanol, it also contributes to its pathophysiological consequences. Although the function of BAT is impacted by ethanol, BAT exhibits a protective role against ethanol-induced liver disease. This review highlights both past and recent efforts to identify the mechanisms through which ethanol consumption alters adipocyte function, with a focus on findings from studies that explain the detrimental effects of ethanol on WAT and BAT, and discusses the interplay between adipose tissue and the liver, particularly its implications for alcoholic liver disease.

Although genetically, clinically, and pathologically distinct, a common feature of these diseases is disruption of protein homeostasis (proteostasis), which causes accumulation of misfolded proteins. The machinery mediating proteostasis exquisitely balances and interlaces protein synthesis, protein folding and trafficking, and protein degradation processes within the proteostasis network to maintain homeostasis. The proteostasis network governs a functional and dynamic proteome by modulating the timing, location, and stoichiometry of protein expression, surveillance, and maintenance of protein folding and removal of misfolded or excess proteins. Although a functional proteome is essential for the health of all cell types, this is especially true for neurons, which are prone to enhanced cellular stress. Aging is the most important risk factor for proteostasis decline and the development of proteinopathies. However, germline and somatic mutations can also functionally impair components of the proteostasis network. Post-mitotic cells, particularly neurons, are rendered further susceptible to proteostasis dysfunction because of their extended lifespan. This review discusses the interconnections between the functional components mediating proteostasis in neuronal cells and how aberrations in proteostasis contribute to neuronal dysfunction and disease.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7623,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Pathology","volume":"195 11","pages":"Pages 1998-2014"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144938985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
