  • [1.1] [#Atherosclerosis
    - Trimethylamine (#TMA) is generated by the gut microbiome and in the host converted by flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO3) into trimethylamine N-oxide (#TMAO), which has been implicated in chronic cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. - Using cell culture systems and patient biopsies > #TMAO reprograms skin fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and adipocytic progenitor cells into myofibroblasts via the putative #TMAO receptor protein R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK). - FMO3 was detected in skin fibroblasts and its expression stimulated by TGF-β1. - FMO3 was elevated in Systemic Sclerosis skin biopsies and in Systemic Sclerosis fibroblasts.
