Latest single cell technology identifies cell types related to CAD pathogenesis

A new study from the University of Eastern Finland identified 12 different cell types involved in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease, CAD. The researchers also showed that the genetic risk factors for CAD take their effect especially via smooth vascular muscle cells, which change their phenotype as the disease progresses. ....

Using single cell technology, a new study sheds light on the significance of genetic risk factors for, and the diversity of cells involved in, the development of coronary artery disease. The researchers analysed human atherosclerotic lesions to map the chromatin accessibility of more than 7,000 cells. The chromatin accessibility is known to reflect active regions and genes in the genome. The findings were published in
Circulation Research.
Genome-wide association studies of the human genome have identified over 200 loci associated with coronary artery disease. More than 90% of them are located outside protein-coding genes, in so called cis-regulatory elements, whose significance in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease remains unclear. ....
