Molecular and genetic insights into varicose veins
Varicose veins are characterized by enlarged, twisted, and tortuous veins in the lower extremities. The identified etiologies of varicose veins include age, sex, orthostasis, and genetics. However, numerous other factors remain undetermined. This review explores the various key elements contributing to the pathogenesis of varicose veins, including integrins, flow-sensitive ion channels (Ca2+ and K+), angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), purinergic receptors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors, elastin, collagen, estrogen, and calcium ions. Also, this review covers the role of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), endothelial leucocyte adhesion molecule (ELAM-1), and von Willebrand factor on veno-tonicity. Both an invasive and non-invasive therapeutic approach against varicose veins were explored. Research on varicose veins continues to expand in an effort to identify the precise causal factors and underlying mechanisms. The rising incidence of comorbidities also presents an increasing concern for healthcare. These factors highlight the need to define the disease's underlying pathology in order to identify new, more effective drug intervention targets.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
