3/ VCAM1+ injured proximal tubule cells are enriched 6.5-fold in AIN compared with acute tubular injury. They aren’t passive bystanders — they produce complement (C3, C4A, C4B, CFB), and C3AR1+ macrophages sit directly against them.

Four inflammatory markers tracked with kidney function decline in patients at 12+ months post-infection.

Inflammatory biomarkers in the assessment of kidney function decline in Long Covid syndrome - PubMed
According to our results, IL-6, IL-17, IL-10 and VCAM1 constitute a biomarker signature associated with poorer renal prognosis in LC patients. The rise in IL-6 could drive the increase in IL-17, IL-10 and VCAM1 rise, contributing to kidney function decline. These findings may help establish a clinic …

It became apparent that PTBP1, a splice factor we had identified as critical for EC activation through in vitro CRISPR KO screens, and in vivo in atherogenesis (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...) was linked to CAV EC dysfunction, but lacked mechanistic insight.

This is a fabulous paper by Dr. Kristy Zera in my lab. She shows how critical the interaction between VCAM1 on endothelium & VLA4 on immune cells is late after stroke. Blocking either prevents post-stroke cognitive decline & drives mature vessel formation, including pericytes and normal BBB function
