Convergence of endothelial dysfunction, inflammation and glucocorticoid resistance in depression-related cardiovascular diseases
Depression has been extensively linked to dysregulated HPA axis function, chronic inflammation and cardiovascular diseases. While the former two have been studied in depth, the mechanistic connection between depression and cardiovascular disease is unclear. In this review, we aim to discuss (1) endothelial dysfunction in depression, (2) inflammation in depression, (3) general glucocorticoid resistance in depression and (4) endothelial glucocorticoid resistance in depression co-morbid inflammatory diseases.
Transcriptomic evidence for atopic dermatitis as a systemic disease in NC/Nga mice
Kim and colleagues evaluated whether atopic dermatitis (AD) affects the entire body rather than being limited to skin barrier damage and inflammation. Using NC/Nga mice with AD-like symptoms, we compared the transcriptomes of the skeletal muscle (a tissue that is relatively distant from the skin) with those of the skin (the lesion induction site) before and after disease induction, after which Hc was administered. Although further study is needed to better understand the effects of Ces1d on AD, skeletal muscle was associated with AD pathogenesis, and AD-like symptoms appeared to affect the body in a systemic manner.
