Objective:To utilize single-nucleus RNA sequencing(snRNA-seq) technology to investigate the primary cell subpopulations in human limb venous malformations (VMs) tissue and the role of the key gene RhoJ.Methods:Surgical resection specimens of VMs tissues and surrounding normal vein tissues were collected from 100 clinically diagnosed and screened patients with limb VMs at the Department of Hemangioma Surgery of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to December 2023. (1) Transcriptome analysis: Three patient samples were randomly selected for snRNA-seq studies, with the surgically removed VMs tissue serving as the experimental group and the surrounding normal vein tissue as the control group. A gene expression matrix for cell nuclei was established, followed by data quality control, dimensionality reduction, clustering, and cell type annotation. Cell-to-cell communication analysis was performed using the R language CellChat package to identify dominant cell subpopulations. The FindMarkers function was utilized to screen for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the dominant cell subpopulations of the experimental and control groups, and functional enrichment analysis was conducted. (2) Tissue experiments: An additional 35 patient samples from both the experimental and control groups were randomly selected. The mRNA and protein expression levels of the RhoJ gene were measured using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting, respectively. (3) Validation experiments with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs): HUVECs were transfected with pcDNA3.1-NC (blank control) and pcDNA3.1-RhoJ (plasmid expression vector carrying the RhoJ gene), respectively. The biological behavior differences between the two groups of cells were examined using the CCK-8 cell proliferation assay, Transwell invasion assay, and Matrigel angiogenesis assay. Measurement data conforming to a normal distribution were expressed as Mean±SD, and comparisons between the two groups were performed using an independent samples t-test. Results:Through CellChat intercellular communication analysis, it was discovered that endothelial cells were the predominant cell subpopulation in both the experimental and control groups, exhibiting strong communication links with other cell subpopulations. In the analysis of DEGs, it was found that the RhoJ gene in endothelial cells was significantly involved in the biological processes of angiogenesis and regulation. In tissue experiments, RT-qPCR and Western bloting results indicated that the relative expression levels of RhoJ mRNA (4.48±1.29 vs. 1.01±0.17) and protein (1.22±0.03 vs. 0.51±0.20) in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.01 for both). The results of the HUVECs validation experiment showed that the cell proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis abilities of the pcDNA3.1-RhoJ group were significantly enhanced compared to the pcDNA3.1-NC group. Conclusion:Endothelial cells represent the dominant cell subpopulation during the occurrence and locally invasive progression of VMs, playing a crucial role in this process. The RhoJ gene is significant in regulating the biological behavior of VMs endothelial cells.

In this study, araucarene diterpenes, characterized by a pimarene skeleton with a variably oxidized side chain at C-13, were investigated. A total of 16 araucarene diterpenoids and their derivatives were isolated from the woods of Agathis dammara, including 11 previously unreported compounds: dammaradione (1), dammarones D-G (2, 5, 14, 15), dammaric acids B-F (8-12), and dammarol (16). The structures of these new compounds were elucidated using high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy (HR-ESI-MS) and one-dimensional/two-dimensional (1D/2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), while their absolute configurations were determined through the electronic circular dichroism (ECD) exciton chirality method and Snatzke's method. The hypoglycemic activity of all isolated compounds was evaluated using a transgenic zebrafish model, and a structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis was conducted. Araucarone (3) and dammaric acid C (9), serving as representative compounds, demonstrated significant hypoglycemic effects on zebrafish. The primary mechanism involves the promotion of pancreatic β cell regeneration and glucose uptake. Specifically, these compounds enhance the differentiation of pancreatic endocrine precursor cells (PEP cells) into β cells in zebrafish.

Objective:This study aimed to identify key genes in endothelial cell (EC) associated with the pathogenesis and progression of human venous malformations (VMs) through bioinformatics analysis, providing potential biomarkers for early screening and targeted therapy of VMs.Methods:A case-control study was conducted using surgically resected tissue specimens from VMs patients at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (from September 2021 to September 2023), with malformed venous tissues as the experimental group and distal normal venous tissues as controls. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was performed on paired experimental and control samples from four VM patients. High-dimensional weighted gene co-expression network analysis (hdWGCNA), combined with gene ontology (GO), Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG), and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis, identified critical genes. Validation experiments included 15 additional VM cases and controls using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and Western blot.Results:A total of 55 430 nuclei were captured using snRNA-seq, with 30 391 nuclei from the experimental group and 25 039 nuclei from the control group. Cluster analysis identified 22 distinct cell populations, which were annotated into 8 cell types. hdWGCNA revealed four modules associated with invasion, which were enriched in angiogenesis, integrin signaling, and cell adhesion according to GO analysis. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and focal adhesion are key regulatory mechanisms. PPI network analysis combined with cytoscape identified EGFL7, TEK, and FLT1 as key genes. RT-qPCR results demonstrated that the relative mRNA expression levels of these three genes in the experimental group (6.66±2.31, 1.86±0.62, 3.49±0.58) were significantly higher than those in the control group (1.05±0.14, 1.00±0.14, 1.06±0.25), with statistically significant differences ( t=9.37, 4.27, 11.20, P<0.05). Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the relative protein expression levels of these three genes in the cytoplasm of the experimental group (0.84±0.15, 0.68±0.14, 0.85±0.12) were also significantly higher than those in the control group (0.19±0.05, 0.23±0.06, 0.30±0.05), with statistically significant differences ( t=16.62, 5.93, 11.68, P<0.05). Western blot analysis confirmed that the relative protein expression levels of these three genes in the experimental group (0.35±0.04, 0.36±0.09, 0.31±0.04) were significantly higher than those in the control group (0.19±0.01, 0.13±0.02, 0.14±0.04), with statistically significant differences ( t=7.05, 4.61, 5.93, P<0.05). Conclusion:EGFL7, FLT1, and TEK in EC may play crucial roles in the occurrence and invasion of VMs.
