The article also includes a full phosphoproteomic dataset, provided as open-source data, mapping downstream signaling of the GNAQ p.R183Q mutation in endothelial cells. www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/archiv...

The study shows:
• How the Gαq-R183Q mutation in endothelial cells disrupts normal signaling, impairing cell migration and angiogenic sprouting
• That DSCR1.4 is a key mediator of these effects
• That inhibition of Calcineurin with Tacrolimus or depletion of DSCR1.4 can restore endothelial function

Very pleased with our newest publication! In this study, we identify the Calcineurin-NFAT-DSCR1.4 signaling pathway as a druggable driver of capillary malformations caused by the GNAQ p.R183Q mutation, which is associated with port-wine stains and Sturge-Weber syndrome.

Is endothelium a type of epithelium?

I am @icfortunato.bsky.social & I would like to discuss this with a short🧵 focused on cell-cell junctions, specifically adherens junctions.

This still is one of our favourite experiments!
