SHIP2: A “NEW” Insulin Pathway Target for Aging Research

2014

Strong evidence suggests that systemic inflammation and central adiposity contribute to and perpetuate metabolic syndrome. All of these alterations predispose individuals to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease, as well as Alzheimer's disease (AD), all characterized by chronic inflammatory status. On the other hand, extensive abnormalities in insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF-II signaling mechanisms in brains with AD have been demonstrated, suggesting that AD could be a third form of diabetes. The Src homology domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase 2 (SHIP2) has an important role in the insulin pathway because its over-expression causes impairment…

Identification of Three Particular Morphological Phenotypes in Sporadic Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm: Phenotype III As Sporadic Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm …

2014

Abstract Aging has a striking impact on the heart and the vascular system, particularly on the large elastic arteries (i.e., aorta), resulting in a multitude of changes at different structural and functional levels. As result, medial degeneration (MD) occurs. A characteristic example of MD is sporadic thoracic aortic aneurysm (S-TAA), whose patho-physiological mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, typical MD morphological phenotypes were researched in S-TAA cases and control aorta specimens by histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses. Three phenotypes (I, II, and III) were detected, but mainly the phenotype III was observed. Elevated cystic MD, plurifocal medial apoptosis, and…
