Fibrinogen glycosylation and glycation: molecular insights into thrombosis and vascular disease.
Fibrinogen, a key protein in blood coagulation, undergoes two distinct post-translational modifications (PTMs): glycosylation and glycation. Glycosylation is an enzymatic, tightly regulated process, whereas glycation occurs non-enzymatically under hyperglycemic conditions. Emerging evidence highlights the role of these modifications in cardiovascular risk. This review provides a comprehensive overview of how fibrinogen glycosylation and glycation contribute to altered haemostatic profiles and increased cardiovascular risk. Evidence is presented from inherited fibrinogen disorders, liver disease, diabetes, and chronic conditions such as end-stage renal disease. Additionally, the potential use of glycosylation and glycation patterns as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers in cardiovascular disease is discussed. Overall, changes in fibrinogen's glycosylation and glycation profiles may serve as important markers for cardiovascular risk assessment in many diseases, offering insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying these conditions.
期刊介绍:
Much of contemporary investigation in the life sciences is devoted to the molecular-scale understanding of the relationships between genes and the environment — in particular, dynamic alterations in the levels, modifications, and interactions of cellular effectors, including proteins. Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences offers an international publication platform for basic as well as applied research; we encourage contributions spanning both established and emerging areas of biology. To this end, the journal draws from empirical disciplines such as structural biology, enzymology, biochemistry, and biophysics, capitalizing as well on the technological advancements that have enabled metabolomics and proteomics measurements in massively parallel throughput, and the development of robust and innovative computational biology strategies. We also recognize influences from medicine and technology, welcoming studies in molecular genetics, molecular diagnostics and therapeutics, and nanotechnology.
Our ultimate objective is the comprehensive illustration of the molecular mechanisms regulating proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids, and small metabolites in organisms across all branches of life.
In addition to interesting new findings, techniques, and applications, Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences will consider new testable hypotheses to inspire different perspectives and stimulate scientific dialogue. The integration of in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approaches will benefit endeavors across all domains of the life sciences.
