    Abstract Lipid droplets (LDs) are essential for cellular pathophysiology. In two recent reports, Kim et al. and Boutagy et al. show that accumulation of LDs in endothelial cells (ECs) elevates blood pressure and accelerates progression of atherosclerosis. These findings identify a novel mechanism of EC lipid metabolism which drives cardiometabolic diseases.

    Abstract Endothelial cells (ECs), as one of the most important types of vascular cells, line the innermost layer of all blood vessels throughout human body and regulate vascular tone and homeostasis. ECs are constantly exposed to different types of shear stress (one form of mechanical forces) generated by the flowing blood. Various mechanosensing molecules or complexes existing on EC membrane serve as versatile sensors (termed as mechanosensors) of different patterns and pattern alternation of blood flow. Via these mechanosensors, ECs sense and transduce flow-induced biomechanical signal into different mechano-transduction pathways, leading to altered expression/activity of mechanosensitive transcription factors (TFs), epigenetic modification enzymes, non-coding RNAs, and genes, thereby generating biological responses (i.e., the regulation of endothelial function). Dysfunction of ECs (i.e., endothelial dysfunction) represents one of the most important pathomechanisms for atherosclerosis, hypertension and diabesity. Emerging studies have demonstrated that pharmacological modulators of mechanosensors/TFs/enzymes improve endothelial dysfunction and reduce the incidence of experimental atherosclerosis. Here, I overviewed the important role of endothelial mechanoregulators in vascular endothelium, highlighting the potential of blood flow mimetic compounds to treat endothelial dysfunction and associated atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

    Abstract The causal link between iron and atherosclerosis has been debated. Recent studies have revisited the 'iron hypothesis' by showing that dietary iron overload or elevated non-transferrin bound iron (NTBI) aggravates atherosclerosis in mice by driving vascular dysfunction, thus identifying NTBI as a risk factor and therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.

    Abstract Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) pose a significant threat to human health and cause a tremendous socioeconomic burden. Currently, the molecular mechanisms of NAFLD and NASH remain incompletely understood, and no effective pharmacotherapies have been approved. In the past five years, significant advances have been achieved in our understanding of the pathomechanisms and potential pharmacotherapies of NAFLD and NASH. Research advances include the investigation of the effects of the fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) analog pegozafermin and the thyroid hormone receptor-β (THRβ) agonist resmetriom on hepatic fat content, NASH resolution and/or fibrosis regression. Future directions of NAFLD and NASH research (including combination therapy, organoids and humanized mouse models) are also discussed in this state-of-the-art review.
