Based on our findings, showing elevated serum and cardiac FGF21 levels in humans with increased left ventricular afterload, we explore the involvement of FGF21 in cardiac hypertrophy. Our mouse studies reveal interorgan liver-heart crosstalk, which is controlled by an initial hepatic FGF21 release followed by the induction of cardiomyocyte (CM) FGF21 expression. Tissue-specific genetic ablation or anti-sense oligonucleotide-based inhibition of FGF21 shows that, in response to pressure overload, CM FGF21 upregulation is a critical event that is stimulated by liver-derived FGF21 and drives cardiac hypertrophy likely by interfering with cardioprotective oxytocin signaling.

This study addresses the urgent need to develop treatments for BRAFi+MEKi-resistant glioma using preclinical mouse models and patient-derived materials. BRAFi+MEKi reveals glioma plasticity by heightening cell state transitions along glial differentiation trajectories, giving rise to astrocyte- and immunomodulatory oligodendrocyte (OL)-like states. PD-L1 upregulation in OL-like cells links cell state transitions to immune evasion, possibly orchestrated by Galectin-3. BRAFi+MEKi induces interferon response signatures, tumor infiltration, and suppression of T cells. Combining BRAFi+MEKi with immune checkpoint inhibition enhances survival in a T cell-dependent manner, reinvigorates T cells, and outperforms individual or sequential therapies in mice.
