Genetic Interleukin 6 Signaling Deficiency Attenuates Cardiovascular Risk in Clonal Hematopoiesis

TLDR
CHIP is associated with increased risk of incident CVD, and among carriers of large CHIP clones, genetically reduced IL-6 signaling abrogated this risk.
Abstract
Background: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) refers to clonal expansion of hematopoietic stem cells attributable to acquired leukemic mutations in genes such as DNMT3A or TET2...

TL;DR: Analysis of high-coverage whole-genome sequences from 97,691 participants of diverse ancestries in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Trans-omics for Precision Medicine programme enables simultaneous identification of germline and somatic mutations that predispose individuals to clonal expansion of haematopoietic stem cells.

Interleukin-6 Signaling and Anti-Interleukin-6 Therapeutics in Cardiovascular Disease.

TL;DR: The IL (interleukin)-6 is a pivotal cytokine of innate immunity, which enacts a broad set of physiological functions traditionally associated with host defense, immune cell regulation, proliferation, and proliferation.

Ageing and atherosclerosis: vascular intrinsic and extrinsic factors and potential role of IL-6

TL;DR: Ageing-related alterations in the bone marrow increase the phenomenon of clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential and promote a skewing towards myeloid cell differentiation, both of which can accelerate atherosclerosis independently of chronic hyperlipidaemia.

Increased stem cell proliferation in atherosclerosis accelerates clonal hematopoiesis

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that hematopoietic stem cell division rates are increased in mice and humans with atherosclerosis, and that increased stem cell proliferation expedites somatic evolution and expansion of clones with driver mutations.

Sensitive detection of somatic point mutations in impure and heterogeneous cancer samples

TL;DR: The MuTect algorithm for calling somatic point mutations enables subclonal analysis of the whole-genome or whole-exome sequencing data being generated in large-scale cancer genomics projects as discussed by the authors.

Age-Related Clonal Hematopoiesis Associated with Adverse Outcomes

TL;DR: Age-related clonal hematopoiesis is a common condition that is associated with increases in the risk of hematologic cancer and in all-cause mortality, with the latter possibly due to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
