[2026-05-13] verify | pathways/type-i-interferon-signaling.md

Pages verified: 1 (pathways/type-i-interferon-signaling.md)

PDFs read: Jiménez-Loygorri 2024 (local), Jin 2022 (local), Bastard 2020 (downloaded from PMC), Stark & Darnell 2012 (downloaded), Kandhaya-Pillai 2022 (downloaded), Yu 2026 (downloaded gold OA). Yang 2026 (not_oa; kept preliminary). De Cecco 2019 (not_oa; tagged no-fulltext-access).

Corrections (7):

  1. Jiménez-Loygorri 2024 — mouse age wrong: “18–24 months” → “24–26 months old; 6–8 months young”
  2. Jiménez-Loygorri 2024 — rescue mechanism: body said “PINK1/Parkin pathway activation” in vivo; corrected to urolithin A 2.3 mg/kg/day i.p. pharmacological rescue; PINK1/Parkin confirmation was ARPE-19 in-vitro only
  3. Jin 2022 — ruxolitinib fabricated: Jin 2022 uses IFNAR1/2 shRNA knockdown only; ruxolitinib not present in that paper; footnote and body corrected
  4. Kandhaya-Pillai 2022 — cell model wrong: footnote listed IMR90/WI-38 fibroblasts; paper uses HUVECs; body corrected from “senescent fibroblasts” to endothelial cells; TMPRSS2 removed (paper reports ACE2/DPP4 only)
  5. Bastard 2020 — age-stratified prevalence wrong attribution: “~1% <65y, ~4% 70–80y, ~7% >80y” are from Bastard 2021 Science Immunology, not Bastard 2020; 2020 paper reports 8.5% vs. 13.0% within COVID-19 cohort only; body and footnote corrected; companion paper flagged
  6. Yu 2026 — human cohort omitted: wiki only described mouse EV transfer; primary cohort was 185 humans (20–95y); updated body and footnote
  7. Canonical DB IDs confirmed (KEGG hsa04623, hsa04622, Reactome R-HSA-909733 all correct)

Unverifiable: De Cecco 2019 (not_oa) no-fulltext-access; Yang 2026 (not_oa) preliminary.

Supersession candidates: None identified. Bastard 2021 Science Immunology (doi:10.1126/sciimmunol.abl4247) is an important companion paper that should be added as a separate footnote citation for population-level age-stratified anti-IFN autoantibody prevalence.

Downstream propagation needed: Pages citing [^bastard2020] for “~1%/~4%/~7%” figures should be updated to Bastard 2021. Pages citing [^jin2022] for ruxolitinib as microglial senescence rescue should remove that claim.

[2026-05-13] verify | studies/bastard-2021-anti-ifn-autoantibody-age-prevalence.md

Pages verified: 1 (studies/bastard-2021-anti-ifn-autoantibody-age-prevalence.md)

PDF read: Local PMC author manuscript — — pages 1–17 (full paper). DOI confirmed via and PubMed esummary. PMC ID, PMID, journal, year all verified.

Corrections (8):

  1. n-subjects: 38,463 → 40,016 — seeder used an undocumented aggregate; Methods section explicitly states 34,159 + 3,595 + 623 + 1,639 = 40,016. YAML comment updated with breakdown.
  2. Deceased mean age: “70 years” → “71 years” — results section (p.9) gives “mean age: 71 years.”
  3. “18%” deceased attribution: clarified this is the 100 pg/mL assay result (18.5%, rounded to 18% in abstract); the 10 ng/mL assay found 13.3% of deceased. Both figures now present in body.
  4. Critical COVID-19 n for 10 ng/mL assay: 3,595 enrolled but only 3,136 tested with the 10 ng/mL assay (9.8% = 307 of 3,136); the 13.6% figure (489 of 3,595) is for the 100 pg/mL assay. Distinction now explicit.
  5. Severe cohort n: enrolled n=623; 522 is the n available for the 100 pg/mL assay. Both now documented.
  6. Overall prevalence in uninfected cohort (0.53%) missing — 181 of 34,159 by 10 ng/mL assay — added to TL;DR, results table, and key-findings frontmatter.
  7. Finer age bands from results text added: <70y 0.17%, 70–75y 0.9%, 75–80y 1.6%, 80–85y >4%, >85y ~2.6%. The >4% peak at 80–85 followed by decrease after 85 was absent from seeder extract; now documented.
  8. Assay methodology corrected: seeder described “antiviral protection assay or ISRE-luciferase reporter” — PDF confirms the functional assay is specifically ISRE-firefly-luciferase normalized against Renilla luciferase (HEK293T cells), with Gyros immunoassay as initial screen. No antiviral-protection (cell-infection) assay was used for the main cohort.

[2026-05-13] verify | molecules/compounds/amlexanox.md

Page verified: molecules/compounds/amlexanox.md (seeded 2026-05-13)

Sources checked: Reilly 2013 (10.1038/nm.3082, local PDF, full 10 pages read); Oral 2017 (10.1016/j.cmet.2017.06.006, local PDF, full 14 pages read); Zhao 2022 (10.1172/jci.insight.155552, local PDF, full 8 pages read); You 2025 (10.1038/s44355-024-00015-7, local PDF, full 8 pages read); Cho 2024 (10.1038/s12276-024-01304-0, local PDF, full 8 pages read). Gairola 2025 and Kapoor 2026 are not_oa locally — body claims for these limited to abstract-level information. PubChem CID 2161 cross-checked via REST API.

Corrections (5):

  1. Oral 2017 dose: “200 mg TID” → “50 mg TID” — The Phase 2 placebo-controlled RCT used 50 mg amlexanox three times daily (Figure 1A, Methods). The open-label pilot also escalated from 25 mg TID → 50 mg TID. The seeder wrote “200 mg” which is incorrect. Affects body Phase 2 section, PK section, and footnote — all corrected.
  2. Oral 2017 trial AE profile corrected — seeder wrote “no major adverse effects reported”; the paper reports 7 cases of rash across both groups (1 drug-treated patient had biopsy-confirmed perivascular inflammation that was self-limiting; 2 prior open-label cases also had skin biopsy) and 1 serious AE (non-STEMI MI in placebo arm). Safety section updated to accurately reflect the AE profile.
  3. Footnote oral2017 n refined — corrected to show 21/21 randomized (stratified by sex; Table 1 confirms equal allocation) vs. 20/18 evaluable. Footnote updated.
  4. Reilly 2013 sequence similarity precision — seeder wrote “65% overall sequence identity”; paper states “65% sequence similarity” (the 72% in the ATP-binding region is described as “72% identical”). Corrected: “similarity” for overall; “identity” for ATP-binding region.
  5. Zhao 2022 mechanism augmented — seeder only cited macrophage suppression as the mechanistic basis for atherosclerosis benefit; Zhao 2022 (Results, Fig. 2) demonstrates a primary mechanism of upregulated hepatic bile acid synthesis (Cyp7a1) → increased fecal cholesterol excretion. This bile acid mechanism is distinct from and complementary to macrophage suppression. Zhao 2022 section updated to include it. Also corrected lab attribution: “Park HY group” → “Yong Sook Kim / Youngkeun Ahn lab, Chonnam National University” (Cho 2024 corresponding authors per paper masthead).

Unverifiable claims: Gairola 2025 (Eur J Pharmacol) and Kapoor 2026 (Inflammopharmacology) are not_oa locally. Body-level claims for these entries are limited to what is supported by PMID/abstract-level information; no quantitative claims from these papers are asserted that require full-text verification.

Supersession candidates (R25): None. PubMed search for amlexanox + TBK1/IKKε + obesity/diabetes filtered for RCTs or meta-analyses post-2020 returned 0 results. No confirmatory RCT has been registered. literature-checked-through: 2026-05-13 confirmed in frontmatter.

Framework check: tbk1-ikke-inhibitor class value added to frameworks/intervention-classes.md under R35 (lines 381–397 + table row at line 1264) — correctly defined; amlexanox listed as founding compound; class scope and canonical value documented. No orphan links.

Downstream propagation needed: None urgent. The Oral 2017 dose correction (200 mg → 50 mg) does not affect any other wiki page that cites this paper (only ikbke.md cites it; that page was seeded and verified today with the correct 50 mg dose already present based on the IKKε verifier pass). Main agent should confirm ikbke.md dose value is already correct.

Additional additions (not corrections, expansions from PDF):

  • Asymptomatic/mild COVID-19 control cohort (1,639 individuals) was absent from seeder’s cohort list; added.
  • Pre-existing autoantibody section: confirmed n=4 critical patients with pre-COVID samples available (+ 2 from companion 2020 paper = 6 total confirmed).
  • Anti-IFN-β section: added exact n=1,773 critical patients tested; 9,583 uninfected tested; overall prevalence 0.26%; Firth’s regression P=0.68 for age non-association.
  • DOI correction banner removed from body (DOI was already corrected in frontmatter; pathway page already updated before this verification pass).

Unverifiable claims: None — all quantitative claims were traceable to abstract, results text, or methods section of the local PDF.

Supersession candidates (R25): PubMed search (2022–2026) for anti-interferon autoantibodies + general population prevalence returned 3 papers; none supersede Bastard 2021’s prevalence figures. Fernbach 2024 (JEM, doi:10.1084/jem.20240365; confirmed via Crossref) is independent supportive evidence (longitudinal HIV cohort, n=1,876), not supersession. literature-checked-through: 2026-05-13 set.

Downstream propagation needed:

  • pathways/type-i-interferon-signaling.md — already has verified: true; its [^bastard2021note] footnote carries the abstract-level age-band figures (0.18%, 1.1%, 3.4%) which are all confirmed correct. The new finer-band figures and overall 0.53% prevalence are additions on the study page, not contradictions of the pathway page. Main agent should decide whether to add the overall 0.53% and finer bands to the pathway page footnote for completeness — not a factual error, low urgency.
  • No other pages appear to cite this study page directly yet.

Corrections made:

  1. TBK1/IKKε sequence identity: “~64% kinase-domain identity” → “~65% overall / 72% in ATP-binding region” (per Reilly 2013 exact text)
  2. Reilly 2017 primary endpoint framing (CRITICAL): the seeder framed this as a null primary endpoint + post-hoc subset signal. WRONG. The primary endpoint (HbA1c) was statistically significant in the full drug-treated group vs. placebo. The responder analysis (n=7 of 21 achieving ≥0.5% HbA1c reduction) was a pre-defined threshold analysis. Corrected throughout page body, extrapolation table, and footnote.
  3. First author of 2017 paper: “Reilly SM et al.” → “Oral EA, Reilly SM et al.” (Reilly is second author; Elif Oral is first/lead)
  4. JCI Insight 2022 mouse model: “ApoE−/− mice” → “Ldlr−/− mice” (per Zhao 2022 primary text; ApoE−/− was never used in that paper)
  5. Amlexanox IC50: “low-micromolar range” → “approximately 1–2 μM” (per Reilly 2013 dose-response section)
  6. Ensembl gap tag resolved: ENSG00000263528 confirmed by both Ensembl REST and HGNC REST APIs; #gap/needs-canonical-id removed
  7. MASH model specificity: “MASH diet model” → “GAN diet-fed Ldlr−/− mice” with mechanism detail (bile acid pathway + Akkermansia muciniphila enrichment)

Supersession check (R25): No meta-analyses or large RCTs (n>100) identified for IKKε/amlexanox metabolic/aging indications since 2013. One 2024 neuroinflammation preclinical paper (PMID 38302598, Sci Rep) is not a clinical supersession. Aphthous-ulcer meta-analysis (2025, BMC Oral Health) covers original indication only — not relevant to metabolic/aging framing. literature-checked-through: 2026-05-13 retained.

Downstream propagation needed: None identified — this is a newly seeded page with no existing downstream pages citing it with inherited errors.

[2026-05-13] ingest | chen-2025 NMR cGAS follow-on batch (5 pages + propagation)

Spawned-from: Deferred follow-on candidates from the 2026-05-12 Chen 2025 NMR cGAS HR-repair batch. Five pages seeded in parallel with wiki-verifier passes on 4 (Liu 2018 is closed-access, permanent-blocker; no verifier).

Added (5 pages):

  • studies/liu-2018-nuclear-cgas-hr-suppression.mdverified: false (permanent-blocker not_oa); seeded from abstract + PubMed metadata only; all quantitative claims #gap/no-fulltext-access; Crossref author list (35 authors) used

  • molecules/proteins/fancd2.mdverified: true; 6 primary PDFs read end-to-end (Garcia-Higuera 2001, Longerich 2014, Alcón 2020, Garaycoechea 2018, Rossi 2007, Rall-Scharpf 2025)
  • molecules/proteins/palb2.mdverified: true; 3 PDFs end-to-end (Reid 2007, Xia 2006, Antoniou 2014)
  • molecules/proteins/irf3.mdverified: true; 6 PDFs end-to-end (West 2015, Glück 2017, Yang 2017, Essers 2009, Lin 1999, Gulen 2023)

Verifier corrections of note (10 substantive across 4 verified pages):

  • IRF3 (highest-impact): Ser-385/Ser-386 are regulatory, NOT activation phosphoacceptor sites (per Lin 1999); the primary inducible cluster is aa 396–405 (Ser-396/Ser-398/Thr-404 the TBK1/IKKε substrates per UniProt). Essers 2009 IFN-α-driven HSC exhaustion is IRF7-driven via JAK-STAT amplification; IRF3 contribution is upstream/indirect (initiates IFN-β → IRF7 amplification loop). Gulen 2023 used both Sting−/− mice AND H-151 pharmacological inhibition (not Sting−/− alone); IRF3 KO not directly tested in that paper.
  • PALB2: Reid 2007 was n=7 families (not 8 as seeded); Antoniou 2014 = 154 families / 362 carriers (seeder conflated these numbers); Xia 2006 does not show BRCA1-independent HR (seeded claim removed); mr-causal-evidence promoted not-tested → partial (GWAS hits exist for PALB2 region, e.g., rs45569335, p<3e-10; no MR study leveraging instruments published).
  • FANCD2: Rossi 2007 Nature (doi:10.1038/nature05862) does NOT contain FA-pathway mutants — only mTR-/-, XPD-TTD, Ku80-/- mice; relevance to FANCD2 is by pathway analogy. Garaycoechea 2012 was Fanca/Aldh2 not Fancd2/Aldh2 (the Fancd2 paper is Garaycoechea 2018). Fork-protection citation Schlacher 2012 (not Garcia-Higuera 2001 as seeded). Longerich 2014: FANCD2 mono-ub is largely independent of FANCI ub (opposite of seeded “interdependent ub initiation” framing).
  • Zhen 2023: study-design re-coded in-vitro → in-vitro+in-vivo; senescence cell-line attribution clarified (IMR90-hTERT + HCA2-hTERT used for X-ray validation only; HeLa was etoposide model).

Propagation pass updates (Task 1 — Liu 2018 bare-DOI → study-page wikilink):

  • interventions/pharmacological/cgas-modulators.md[^zhen2023] upgraded to wikilink form with sample sizes and full model description
  • molecules/proteins/trim41.md[^zhen2023] upgraded similarly

Propagation pass updates (Task 2 — wikilink resolution check for new protein pages):

  • molecules/proteins/fanci.md[[fancd2]] and [[palb2]] already in wikilink form (lines 35, 60, 65, 70, 136, 141); auto-resolve now that target pages exist; no edits needed
  • molecules/proteins/sting.md, molecules/proteins/tbk1.md, pathways/cgas-sting.md, processes/mtdna.md, hallmarks/mitochondrial-dysfunction.md[[irf3]] already in wikilink form; auto-resolves now

Propagation pass updates (Task 3a — IRF3 phosphorylation cluster correction):

  • pathways/cgas-sting.md line 76: cites IRF3 Ser396 (correct — Ser396 is in the inducible aa 396–405 cluster); no correction needed
  • molecules/proteins/sting.md line 68: cites IRF3 S396 (correct); no correction needed
  • molecules/proteins/tbk1.md: no specific phosphosites cited; no correction needed
  • No instances of the erroneous “Ser-385/S385” as IRF3 activation site found on any page beyond the new irf3.md (already corrected in verifier pass)

Propagation pass updates (Task 3b — Essers 2009 IRF3-vs-IRF7 attribution):

  • No Essers 2009 citations found on hallmarks/stem-cell-exhaustion.md, cell-types/hematopoietic-stem-cells.md, pathways/jak-stat-pathway.md, hallmarks/chronic-inflammation.md; only the irf3.md page itself cites Essers 2009 and is already corrected. Propagation a no-op.

Propagation pass updates (Task 3c — Rossi 2007 Nature FA-pathway misattribution check):

  • hallmarks/stem-cell-exhaustion.md line 35: cites Rossi 2007 for HSC γH2AX foci accumulation (correct, no FA claim); no correction needed
  • cell-types/hematopoietic-stem-cells.md lines 113, 115, 123: cites Rossi 2007 for quiescence/DDR attenuation + repair-deficient mice (HR/NHEJ/NER) accelerating decline; correctly framed as repair-pathway-deficient strains, not FA mutants; no correction needed
  • interventions/stem-cell-therapy/hematopoietic-stem-cell-transplantation.md line 70: cites Rossi 2007 for DNA-damage as causal of HSC decline; no FA-pathway claim; no correction needed
  • tissues/bone-marrow.md line 52, 123: cites Rossi 2007 generally; no FA-pathway claim; no correction needed

Propagation pass updates (Task 4 — fanci.md per FANCD2 verifier findings):

  • molecules/proteins/fanci.md ID2 complex section (lines 60–62) annotated with two verifier-derived nuances: (a) Lemonidis 2023 “interdependent” framing reconciled with Longerich 2014 (FANCD2 mono-ub is largely independent of FANCI ub in original kinetic experiments) — mature consensus: FANCI ub is dispensable for initial FANCD2-ub event but required for sustaining it; (b) Alcón 2020 cryo-EM structure was reconstituted from Gallus gallus (chicken) FANCD2–FANCI orthologs (chicken K525 ≡ human K523); in that reconstituted system FANCI was NOT monoubiquitinated, so the closed-clamp conformation is established for FANCD2-ub-only ID2, not strictly doubly-ubiquitinated.

Gaps surfaced:

  • Liu 2018 PDF still inaccessible (closed-access not_oa); all quantitative claims tagged #gap/no-fulltext-access; permanent-blocker status documented in study page banner
  • FANCD2: FA-D2 disease prevalence (3-5%) not verified against registry source; Garaycoechea 2012 not_oa; Schlacher 2012 fork-protection citation not verified
  • IRF3: Sharma 2003, Fitzgerald 2003, Servant 2001 (all not_oa or failed download) — TBK1-as-IRF3-kinase claim retained on independent West 2015 support; Hopfner 2020 disk path mismatch (file not at reported location)

Schema gaps escalated:

  • mouse-ortholog: field used on fancd2.md but not in CLAUDE.md type:protein schema — consider formalizing
  • pathways/type-i-interferon-signaling.md page does not exist — irf3.md substituted [[jak-stat-pathway]] for now
  • molecules/proteins/ikbke.md (IKKε) does not exist — referenced in IRF3 page but unresolved

Seeder-fabricates-outcomes pattern recurrences (R29):

  • PALB2: Reid 2007 n=8→7 families; Antoniou 2014 cohort conflation (154 families = unique probands; 362 = carriers; seeder collapsed); Xia 2006 mis-attribution (BRCA1-independent HR claim not in paper)
  • FANCD2: Rossi 2007 Nature doesn’t even contain FA mutants (only mTR/XPD/Ku80); Garaycoechea 2012 wrong gene (Fanca vs Fancd2); Schlacher 2012 misattributed as Garcia-Higuera 2001
  • IRF3: Ser-385/386 mis-attributed as activation sites (regulatory per Lin 1999)
  • These continue to validate the R29 feedback memory — verifier briefs must continue to emphasize “verify outcomes-not-just-targets,” including paper-content verification (does the paper even contain the mouse model claimed?)

Corrections made (11 substantive):

  1. Ser-385 description corrected: was “Critical activation site; TBK1/IKKε substrate; required for dimerization” → corrected to regulatory site per Lin 1999 (S385/S386→Asp does not activate transcription; these modulate the aa 396–405 cluster); Ser-396 identified as primary TBK1/IKKε substrate per UniProt
  2. Activation cascade step 3 rewritten: previously cited “Ser-385, Ser-386, Ser-396, Ser-398” as TBK1 substrates; corrected to “primary inducible phosphoacceptor cluster aa 396–405; Ser-386 conformational switch; Ser-385/Ser-386 regulatory” per Lin 1999
  3. Lin 1999 footnote overhauled: now accurately describes 55-kDa protein, transactivation domain aa 134–394, dual autoinhibitory domains, and S385/S386 regulatory (not activation) role
  4. Gulen 2023 body paragraph corrected: was “using Sting−/− mice” → corrected to both Sting−/− mice AND H-151 pharmacological inhibition; added pTBK1/cGAMP quantitative details; added note that IRF3 KO was not directly tested

  6. Essers 2009 body paragraph corrected: “IFN-α activates dormant HSCs; IRF3 initiates the upstream IFN signal” → corrected to IFN-α specifically via IFNAR-STAT1-Sca-1; IRF3’s contribution is indirect (initiates IFN-β → IRF7 amplification → IFN-α); gap tag added for human evidence
  7. Essers 2009 footnote expanded: mIFNα4 dose (10,000 units i.p.), chimera design, Sca-1 requirement, STAT1 requirement specified
  8. Glück 2017 footnote corrected: cell models updated from implicit to explicit (cGAS-KO MEFs from Mb21d1−/−, C57BL/6; WI-38); senescence triggers listed (40% O2, 12 Gy, HRasV12, palbociclib)
  9. Yang 2017 footnote corrected: cell lines made explicit (cGas−/− MEFs, BJ human fibroblasts, B16F10); senescence triggers listed (3 μM/10 μM etoposide MEFs, 10–20 μM BJ, 3 Gy IR); SASP genes listed; no-aged-tissue statement made bold
  10. West 2015 footnote expanded: Tfam+/− model details (~50% mtDNA depletion), 70–90% ISG reduction in STING-KO confirmed, TBK1/IRF3 siRNA knockdown result
  11. Other phosphorylation sites list corrected: Thr-3 (not Ser-3), Ser-123 added (was missing from wiki list); UniProt-confirmed

Corrections made (10 substantive):

  1. Rossi 2007 misattribution fixed — paper uses mTR-/-, XPD-TTD (NER), Ku80-/- (NHEJ) mice, NOT FA pathway mutants; body text rewritten to correct strain list; FANCD2 relevance reframed as pathway analogy with explicit note
  2. ATM phosphorylation sites corrected — Ser-1401 added (UniProt lists Ser-222, Ser-1401, AND Ser-1404 as ATM-dependent; wiki had only Ser-222 + Ser-1404). Ser-594 added to broader phosphorylation site list (was missing from UniProt PTM enumeration)
  3. Garcia-Higuera 2001 citation removed from ATM phosphorylation claims — that paper (2001) predates the kinase site-mapping literature and does not report Ser-222/1401/1404; corrected in body and footnote
  4. Longerich 2014 interdependence claim corrected — wiki said “FANCI ubiquitination is needed to maintain FANCD2 ubiquitination against active deubiquitination by USP1-UAF1”; Longerich 2014 actually shows FANCD2 monoubiquitination is largely INDEPENDENT of FANCI ubiquitination in vitro; rewritten
  5. Alcon 2020 organism caveat added — cryo-EM data from Gallus gallus orthologs (K563/K525), not human; ubD2–I channel is ~15–20 bp; FANCI K525 NOT monoubiquitinated in in-vitro reconstitution; body text and footnote updated; new limitation #8 added
  6. Garaycoechea 2012 genotype corrected — wiki claimed “Fancd2-/-; Aldh2-/-” for the 2012 paper; the 2012 paper (not_oa) used Fanca, not Fancd2 (the Fancd2 model is the 2018 paper); corrected with not_oa gap tag
  7. Garaycoechea 2018 p53 finding added — p53 deletion completely rescues HSC survival but not genomic instability; ~60% of double-KO metaphases showed chromosomal aberrations after ethanol; this mechanistic detail was absent

  9. Rall-Scharpf 2025 cohort n’s and quantitative endpoints added — FANCD2 protein ~50% decreased in old women (n=60) not men (n=54); POLη inhibitor IC50 4.5-fold lower in old women; PARP inhibitor sensitivity 3.3-fold higher in old men; full Table 1 donor demographics added to body

[2026-05-12] ingest | Chen et al. 2025 Science — naked-mole-rat cGAS HR-repair (cGAS dual-role + DNA-repair reframe)

User-requested ad-hoc ingestion of doi:10.1126/science.adp5056 (PMID 41066557; closed-access, NOT in PMC). The paper establishes a second, nuclear/chromatin-bound role for cGAS (homologous-recombination suppressor) parallel to its canonical cytosolic-immune-sensing role — and shows that naked mole-rat cGAS has evolutionarily lost this HR-suppressive function via four amino-acid divergences that weaken TRIM41-mediated ubiquitination and P97/VCP segregase eviction, leaving cGAS on chromatin longer → enhanced FANCI–RAD50 interaction → potentiated HR → lifespan extension. Conceptual reframings beyond the obvious naked-mole-rat page were surfaced and propagated per the paper_impact_broad feedback memory.

Caveat — verification blocked: Paper is closed-access (Science) with no PMC deposit and no PDF in a local paper archive. Per CLAUDE.md, the new study page and all derived claims carry #gap/no-fulltext-access indefinitely; specific quant claims (n’s, p-values, lifespan-extension magnitudes) are NOT in the abstract and are NOT asserted anywhere in the wiki. Re-verify when full text becomes available.

New atomic pages (9; all verified: false with auto-extracted banners and per-claim #gap/no-fulltext-access for Chen 2025 content):

Propagation pass — 8 existing pages updated (verifier dispatches; all existing verified: true preserved; new content tagged #gap/no-fulltext-access):

  • pathways/cgas-sting.md — new “Nuclear cGAS: dual-role at chromatin” section (~270 words); De Cecco 2019 LINE-1 DOI resolved (10.1038/s41586-018-0784-9, was prior #gap/unsourced); caused-by:/causes: updated with bi-modal output
  • model-organisms/heterocephalus-glaber.md — new “cGAS HR-repair potentiation” subsection; new “Unifying brake-removal frame” section with 5-row table (HMW-HA / cGAS / pALT / proteostasis / non-Gompertzian mortality each mapped to specific pro-aging brake removed); literature-checked-through: 2026-05-12 set
  • pathways/homologous-recombination.md — new “Negative regulation by nuclear cGAS” section (~280 words); key-nodes: extended
  • pathways/dna-damage-response.md — new “Nuclear cGAS: an intra-nuclear brake on HR” subsection; Liu 2018 DOI corrected (10.1038/s41586-018-0195-z → 10.1038/s41586-018-0629-6) during final lint
  • hallmarks/genomic-instability.md — new §5 “cGAS nuclear HR-brake”; existing causes: [[chronic-inflammation]] confirmed; mechanistic-bridge note added
  • hallmarks/chronic-inflammation.md — new dual-role note within NF-κB driver section (~5 sentences); cross-reference to [[hallmarks/genomic-instability]] highlighting cGAS as a single molecular node bridging both hallmarks
  • molecules/proteins/mrn-complex.md — RAD50 HGNC corrected 9817 → 9816 (verified via UniProt + HGNC REST APIs); new “FANCI–RAD50 interaction and upstream MRN recruitment regulation” section with three documented mechanism ambiguities (#gap/needs-mechanism-clarity)
  • hypotheses/antagonistic-pleiotropy.md — cGAS added as new molecular AP exemplar (antiviral defense [early-life benefit] vs. HR suppression + inflammaging [late-life cost], with NMR comparative-biology natural experiment); literature-checked-through: 2026-05-12 refreshed

Conceptual reframings persisted in the wiki:

  1. cGAS-STING dual-role — formerly framed as purely cytosolic-immune-sensing inflammaging driver; now documented with parallel nuclear/HR-suppression arm. Pure cGAS inhibitors (current autoimmune-indication pipeline) would knock out both arms; NMR-inspired chromatin-retention enhancers (TRIM41, VCP/p97 inhibitors) selectively address the HR arm.
  2. NMR longevity portfolio = brake-removal pattern — formalized in heterocephalus-glaber.md Unifying-frame section: NMRs work by removing pro-aging brakes that exist in shorter-lived mammals (HMW-HA degradation absent, cGAS HR-suppression weakened, telomerase regulation, proteostasis robustness, non-Gompertzian mortality). Cleaner than the prior “bag of tricks” framing.
  3. Hallmark causal-graph: new mechanistic bridge — cGAS is now a single molecular node mechanistically connecting [[genomic-instability]] (via nuclear HR-suppression arm) and [[chronic-inflammation]] (via cytosolic immune-sensing arm). The pre-existing causes-relationship genomic-instability → chronic-inflammation gains a new mechanistic route (the cGAS dual-arm route alongside Rodier 2009 SASP + Jaiswal 2014 CHIP).
  4. Intervention modality reframing — cgas-modulators class page formalizes the direction-of-effect problem: Type B (chromatin-retention enhancers) is opposite-direction from canonical Type A pan-cGAS inhibition. Three new mechanism classes added to intervention-classes.md: innate-immune-modulation, hr-repair-modulation, ubiquitin-ligase-modulation.
  5. Antagonistic-pleiotropy hypothesis — gained a clean molecular exemplar (cGAS evolved-for-antiviral-defense vs. late-life HR suppression + inflammaging); strengthens the conceptual-frame Mode-B status of the hypothesis.
  6. DNA-damage theory of aging — new Mode-A hypothesis page seeded; Chen 2025 NMR cGAS positioned as a clean prediction-confirming finding (removing an HR brake → improved repair → extended lifespan). The page also positions DDT against adjacent theories (somatic-mutation as subset, information-theory as downstream, hyperfunction as competing).

Gaps surfaced:

  • #gap/no-fulltext-access — Chen 2025 throughout; Liu 2018 nuclear cGAS paper (closed-access) also tagged on cgas-sting.md, homologous-recombination.md, dna-damage-response.md, genomic-instability.md, cgas.md
  • #gap/needs-mechanism-clarity — FANCI–RAD50 interaction mode (direct binding vs ID2-complex-mediated vs cGAS-scaffolded) per Chen 2025 abstract underspecification
  • #gap/needs-human-replication — NMR cGAS variant lifespan extension not yet demonstrated as a knock-in in mice or human cells
  • #gap/no-mechanism — NMR antiviral capacity with prolonged-chromatin-retention cGAS variant: does it cost the original evolved function? Chen 2025 abstract silent
  • #gap/needs-canonical-id — cGAS GenAge entry (not present); STING HGNC/Ensembl re-verification pending; VCP Ensembl pending
  • #gap/contradictory-evidence — none surfaced; Chen 2025 extends rather than contradicts Liu 2018 and prior cGAS-STING-inflammaging literature

Follow-on seeding candidates (deferred — not in this paper-impact pass):

  • studies/liu-2018-nuclear-cgas-hr-suppression.md — foundational nuclear-cGAS paper; currently referenced from multiple pages as direct DOI citation; would benefit from a wiki study page
  • studies/zhen-2023-trim41-cgas-l1.md — Zhen et al. 2023 Nat Commun (PMID 38086852) from the same Mao lab as Chen 2025; covers TRIM41 + nuclear cGAS + ORF2p in senescent cells; prequel to Chen 2025
  • molecules/proteins/fancd2.md — referenced by fanci.md but missing
  • molecules/proteins/palb2.md — referenced by fanci.md but missing
  • molecules/proteins/irf3.md — referenced by sting.md but missing
  • frameworks/causal-graph-data.md — optional enhancement: update the existing genomic-instability → chronic-inflammation edge key-citation field to note the cGAS dual-arm mechanistic route

Verifier propagation TODO (closed-access Liu 2018 / Chen 2025): when either paper becomes accessible (PMC deposit, preprint, or institutional access), re-trigger the wiki-verifier on all pages tagged #gap/no-fulltext-access to confirm quantitative claims.

Naming conflict resolved: the batch-1 cGAS seeder created a [[p97-vcpase]] wikilink (non-standard). Propagation pass renamed to [[vcp]] across cgas.md and trim41.md (vcp.md self-aliases include p97-vcpase so the alias still resolves for back-compat). No remaining [[p97-vcpase]] wikilinks.

Supersession check (nuclear cGAS / TRIM41 / ORF2p / LINE-1; 2024–2026):

  • No meta-analyses or large RCTs on this mechanism found (basic-science mechanistic study; not an intervention RCT class)
  • One parallel mechanism paper found: Huang Y et al. 2025 EMBO Rep (PMID 40825873) — “STING inhibits LINE-1 retrotransposition through sorting ORF1p to lysosomes for degradation” — describes cGAS-independent STING/ORF1p lysosomal pathway, orthogonal to Zhen 2023’s nuclear-cGAS/TRIM41/ORF2p axis; does NOT contradict Zhen 2023; cited for awareness
  • No papers retract or significantly revise the TRIM41-ORF2p-nuclear-cGAS mechanism

Downstream propagation needed: None at this time — no entity pages currently cite studies/zhen-2023-trim41-cgas-l1 via wikilink (trim41.md, cgas.md, and genomic-instability.md reference the paper via DOI-inline footnotes on entity pages; those pages’ claim text does not inherit specific numerics from this study page that were corrected).

  • Intervention-classes framework: extracellular-matrix-remodeling confirmed in use on ghk-cu.md; immunomodulation confirmed in use on mesenchymal-stem-cell-therapy.md and ll-37.md
  • clinical-trials-active: 0 — confirmed (all active trials are cosmetic/dermal, none for systemic aging endpoints)

R25 supersession check: PubMed search for “hyaluronan AND (aging OR longevity OR healthspan OR inflammaging) AND (meta-analysis[pt] OR randomized controlled trial[pt])” 2022–2026 returned 101 results; top 10 reviewed — all are cosmetic/dermal/OA trials, none address systemic aging endpoints.

Corrections applied (7 factual; 2 attribution):

  1. “CD44 knockdown via siRNA” → “CD44 blockade via CD44-blocking antibody” (Tian 2013 used antibody, not siRNA — 2 locations: numbered list item 5 and Aging context section)
  2. “vs 0.5–2 MDa in human or mouse” → “vs 0.5–3 MDa in mouse/guinea pig and 0.5–2 MDa in human” (Tian 2013 p.2: mouse/guinea pig 0.5–3 MDa; human 0.5–2 MDa)
  3. Hippo cascade elaboration (STK4/STK3 → LATS1/2 → YAP/TAZ) — Tian 2013 does NOT name the Hippo kinase cascade; rewritten as inference note citing broader literature
  4. Takasugi 2023 ATF6 mechanism: “HMW-HA → CD44 engagement activates ATF6” → “CD44 activates ATF6 in an HA-independent manner” (paper explicitly states “without the requirement of HA”; mechanism is ER-localized, not extracellular-HA-dependent)
  5. Termeer 2002 TLR2 claim: “TLR4 (and in some contexts TLR2)” → “TLR4 only” (paper explicitly showed TLR-2-deficient mice still susceptible; TLR2 not required)
  6. Termeer 2002 cytokine list: “TNF, IL-6, IL-12” → “TNF-α + p38/p42/44 MAPK/NF-κB” (IL-6 and IL-12 not demonstrated in this paper; TNF-α specifically measured)
  7. Dalerba 2007 “6/6 CRC specimens” → “6 distinct xenograft lines from patient specimens” (tumorigenicity tested in xenograft lines, not direct primary specimens; also clarified EpCAM^hi co-requirement)
  8. RG7356 “hematologic malignancies” claim removed from body text (Menke 2016 is solid tumor trial only; n=65; corrected DLT doses and MTD)
  9. Ponta 2003 PTM attribution clarified: Ponta 2003 uses variant-isoform residue numbering; UniProt P16070 canonical positions cited as authoritative

Corrections made (14):

  1. Infusion duration: “60-min infusion” → “approximately 80-minute infusion” (APOLLO paper: “period of approximately 80 minutes”)
  2. TTR knockdown precision: “~80% reduction” → “median 81% reduction (range −38 to 95%)” (APOLLO paper states “median…was 81%”)
  3. Peripheral edema rate: “29%” → “30%” (44/148 patisiran per APOLLO Table 3)
  4. Trial geography: “49 countries” → “44 sites across 19 countries” (APOLLO paper methods; “49” was fabricated)
  5. Norfolk QoL-DN CI added: difference −21.1; 95% CI −27.2 to −15.0 (from APOLLO text)
  6. APOLLO-B randomization ratio: “2:1 patisiran:placebo” → “1:1 (181 patisiran, 179 placebo)” (APOLLO-B paper explicitly states 1:1)
  7. APOLLO-B wtATTR %: “~56% wtATTR-CM” → “~80% wtATTR-CM” (Table 1: 144/181=80% patisiran, 144/178=81% placebo wild-type)
  8. APOLLO-B 6MWT primary result: “patisiran −8.7 m vs placebo −21.7 m; difference +13.0 m (95% CI 0.5–25.4; p=0.040)” → “Hodges-Lehmann estimate +14.69 m (95% CI 0.69–28.69; P=0.02); medians −8.15 m patisiran vs −21.35 m placebo” (all three prior numbers were wrong)

  10. HELIOS-B primary endpoint statistic: “RR 0.72” → “HR 0.72” (hazard ratio, not rate ratio)
  11. HELIOS-B all-cause mortality: “RR 0.64” → “HR 0.65 (through 42 months)” (point estimate and statistic type corrected)

  2. Coelho 2012 co-primary endpoint added: TQOL was a co-primary alongside NIS-LL; both missed in ITT (TQOL p=0.116). Wiki only mentioned NIS-LL.
  3. Coelho 2012 ITT NIS-LL responder rates added: 45.3% vs 29.5% (p=0.068) — omitted from body text.
  4. ATTR-ACT primary win ratio added to table: 1.695 (95% CI 1.255–2.289; p<0.001) — was absent.
  5. CV hospitalization RRR precision corrected: “~32% reduction” → RRR 0.68 (95% CI 0.56–0.81); 0.48 vs 0.70/yr — exact figures from paper.
  6. Facin 2025 attribution clarified: the RR 0.71/0.81 figures are for the TTR stabilizer subgroup (tafamidis + acoramidis combined), not tafamidis alone; this nuance was absent.

Supersession check: Fan & Coleman 2026 (AJHP, PMID 42084327) meta-analysis of 2 RCTs (n=1,052) confirms NYHA I/II benefit concentration (HR 0.64 mortality, RR 0.46 CV hospitalizations) and no benefit in NYHA III — consistent with wiki framing. No direct supersession of tafamidis evidence; the page’s treatment-stage gradient claim is supported.

  1. ARIA-H placebo rate corrected: 2.7% → 9.0% (81/897 per Table 3). The 2.7% figure was the placebo ARIA-E rate, not ARIA-H.
  2. ARIA-H lecanemab rate corrected: 13.0% → 17.3% (155/898 per Table 3). The 13.0% was “ARIA with microhemorrhages or hemosiderin deposits” (subset label from Table 3 ≠ total ARIA-H).
  3. Falls rate corrected: “11%” → 10.4% (93/898) lecanemab; 9.6% (86/897) placebo — both arms now reported.
  4. Symptomatic ARIA-E rate added: 2.8% (25/898) lecanemab vs 0% placebo; symptoms specified per paper text.
  5. APOE4-stratified ARIA-E rates added from Table 3: noncarrier 5.4%, heterozygote 10.9%, homozygote 32.6% (lecanemab); symptomatic breakdown also added.
  6. Brain volume paradox claim corrected: Van Dyck 2023 explicitly states MRI/volumetric results were not analyzed in the primary paper. Claim updated to flag as needing a separate source; gap tags added.
  7. QoL secondary percentages (EQ-5D 49%, QOL-AD 56%, ZBI 38%) removed: Not present in van Dyck 2023 primary paper. Flagged unsourced pending identification of source (likely a supplementary analysis or conference presentation).

Schema issue: translation-gap: effect-size-modest was non-canonical. Changed to human-evidence-strong with inline comment explaining the choice and flagging for CLAUDE.md schema discussion (a ‘clinically-contested’ enum value may be warranted for FDA-approved drugs with Cochrane-disputed clinical meaningfulness).

Supersession candidate (Cochrane 2026, Nonino et al.): PMID 41985900, doi:10.1002/14651858.CD016297 — Cochrane meta-analysis of 17 RCTs (n=20,342; 9 anti-amyloid antibodies).

  1. Hayflick-as-Warner-2005-signatory error: Wiki body listed Hayflick among Warner 2005 EMBO Reports signatories — he is NOT in the 28-name byline. Corrected to Miller and Melov (who are actual signatories). Hayflick co-signed the separate Olshansky 2002 position statement only.
  2. De Grey 2004 AEV threshold corrected: Wiki said “perhaps one additional year of life expectancy per year” — not in the paper. De Grey 2004 actually states AEV requires ~10% per year sustained decline in age-specific mortality rates, and that a 30% healthy lifespan gain from first-generation therapies gives ~20 extra years to reach second-generation therapies. Body and footnote updated to match.
  3. Palmer 2022 three-tier framing corrected: Wiki mischaracterized as “regenerative medicine + damage repair + prevention”. Actual tiers: Tier 1 (lifestyle/pharma), Tier 2 (full-spectrum surveillance/diagnostics), Tier 3 (genetic engineering/reprogramming). Body and footnote updated.
  4. De Grey 2004 footnote publication type corrected: “commentary” → “book review / opinion” (PLoS Biology classified it “Book Review/Science in the Media”). Local PDF status updated from “pending” to “a local paper archive”.

Result: verified: true (partial — abstract-level; no local PDFs available for any of the 14 sources).

Corrections made (4):

  1. Sell 2005 tissue scope corrected: Wiki said “skin and tendon collagen” → corrected to “skin collagen (n=110) and glomerular basement membrane collagen (n=28)”. The Sell 2005 paper measured skin + GBM, not tendon. Tendon appears in other AGE literature but not in Sell 2005.
  2. Sell 2005 quantitative context expanded and qualified: Added actual units (pmol/mg), values at age 90 (~2000 nondiabetic, ~5000 diabetic), and clarification that the ~10–100× vs pentosidine ratio is a review-synthesis figure (Monnier 2005, Sjöberg 2009) rather than a direct Sell 2005 abstract statement.
  3. Monnier 2022 specimen type corrected: Wiki body implied skin collagen; Monnier 2022 measured plasma protein-bound AGEs (n=466, 3 time points). Body text updated to specify plasma source and correct neuropathy p-value (p<0.003, not ≤0.02). Also clarified CSME association is driven by CML, not glucosepane specifically.
  4. Hartog 2011 footnote enriched: Added primary endpoint (peak VO₂, P=0.06), secondary endpoint p-values from abstract, and corrected author list (Hartog JW not Hartog JWL).

Footnotes updated: All 14 footnotes enriched with PMIDs where found, volume/page data from Crossref/PubMed, and archive-status notes.

Supersession check (Sell 2005): PubMed 2009–2026 search for “glucosepane skin collagen aging” returned 6 results. No meta-analysis or large RCT challenges the foundational Sell 2005 abundance finding. Voziyan 2026 extends to bone site-mapping. Monnier 2014 and 2022 extend to clinical associations. No supersession detected.

Corrections made (3):

  1. CR dose-dependence added (Moore 1995 abstract): Only severe 52% CR (not 25% mild CR) retarded lipofuscin accumulation in C57BL/6 mouse brain — threshold/dose-dependent effect. Wiki previously said “at least one controlled study” without capturing this nuance.
  2. Greenland shark supersession note added to Limitations: PMID 42024652 (Aging Cell 2026) — massive lipofuscin in cardiomyocytes coexists with preserved cardiac function in 300-year-old sharks, directly challenging the causal-driver framing. Added contradictory-evidence.
  3. [^brunk2002axis] OA label corrected: Changed “OA bronze” to “download failed” since both download attempts returned no valid URL.

Supersession search: ran PubMed 2020–2026 for lipofuscin+aging+mechanism (127 results). No single meta-analysis or large RCT supersedes the Brunk-Terman model.

[2026-05-09] ingest + propagate — bempedoic acid / ezetimibe / mevalonate / MTP (batch 4, 4 pages)

Trigger: continuation of batches 1–3. Batch 4 closes the most-load-bearing remaining stubs: bempedoic acid (statin-intolerant alternative), ezetimibe (LDL-lowering add-on), mevalonate pathway (statin pleiotropy framework + downstream of HMGCR), MTP (ApoB-particle assembly factor + lomitapide target).

Pages added (4, all verified: true partial-scope):

  • molecules/compounds/bempedoic-acid.md (~229 lines) — ATP-citrate lyase inhibitor; liver-specific bioactivation by ACSVL1 (skeletal-muscle-absent → no SAMS); CLEAR Outcomes 2023 NEJM HR 0.87 (95% CI 0.79–0.96, p=0.004); Pinkosky 2016 mechanism; Banach 2020 LDL-C −17.8%; Hamayal 2024 confirmatory meta-analysis; PubChem CID 10472693 (seeder corrected from wrong CID 24779522 in original brief).
  • molecules/compounds/ezetimibe.md (~? lines) — NPC1L1 internalization-block (Ge 2008 Cell Metab); IMPROVE-IT 2015 NEJM (n=18,144, HR 0.936 [0.89–0.99] at 7 yr) first non-statin LDL-lowering CV-outcomes RCT; SHARP 2011 renal cohort; Bach 2019 elderly subgroup; Ez-PAVE 2026 NEJM intensive LDL targeting.
  • pathways/mevalonate-pathway.md (~196 lines) — KEGG hsa00900 / Reactome R-HSA-191273. 9-step pathway from acetyl-CoA → IPP → branch points (FPP→cholesterol vs FPP→GGPP→prenylation, dolichol, ubiquinone). Statin pleiotropy framework (5 mechanisms: cholesterol, GGPP/prenylation, CoQ10/SAMS, dolichol, selenoprotein/T2D). Drug classes: statins (HMGCR), bempedoic acid (ACLY), bisphosphonates (FDPS).
  • molecules/proteins/mtp.md (~? lines) — Heterodimer (MTTP large subunit + PDI/P4HB); ER lumen lipid-loading onto nascent ApoB; abetalipoproteinemia (homozygous LOF); lomitapide target. Cuchel 2013 Lancet Phase 3 (n=29 HoFH, mean LDL-C −50%, hepatic steatosis dose-limiting).

Verification corrections (notable across all 4):

  • bempedoic-acid.md (5): CRITICAL: tendon rupture is a “Warning and Precaution,” NOT a boxed warning — the seeder mischaracterized FDA labeling. Boxed warnings are a much stronger regulatory signal; this matters for clinical context. AMPK mechanism corrected — ETC-1002-CoA directly activates AMPK β1 in an energy-charge-INDEPENDENT manner per Pinkosky 2016 (not via AMP/ATP ratios). Banach 2020 LDL-C −17.4% → −17.8%. Gout incidence quantified (3.2% vs 2.2%). Primary prevention HR 0.70 (95% CI 0.55–0.89) with concrete numerics added.

  • ezetimibe.md (7): CRITICAL: Bach 2019 elderly subgroup n=1,260 → 2,798 (off by ~2.2×; the ≥75 subgroup of IMPROVE-IT comprised 2,798 patients per the actual paper). Zhou 2026 DOI fabricated → corrected (10.1186/s12872-026-04250-x10.1186/s12872-026-05541-1). Mahmoud 2025 safety mischaracterized — seeder said “comparable” but paper found significantly higher severe AEs with combination (p=0.03). SHARP percentage LDL reduction not in abstract (only absolute 0.85 mmol/L); corrected. Ez-PAVE 2026 DOI confirmed real via Crossref + PMID 41910315.

  • mevalonate-pathway.md (7): CRITICAL: Dohlmann 2018 study design fabricated — seeder claimed “RCT, n=50, 400 mg × 8 wk” but the 2018 paper is cross-sectional observational (n=84). The 400 mg × 8 wk RCT is the Dohlmann 2022 Antioxidants paper (n=37, the muscle-biopsy primary outcome study). Two papers conflated. Both now correctly distinguished. (Note: coq10.md correctly cites Dohlmann 2022 — no propagation needed there.) Sever 2003 E3-ligase attribution removed (Hrd1/RNF145 not in Sever 2003). HMGCR half-life claim corrected. Pinkosky 2016 AMPK mechanism corrected (LDL-lowering is AMPK-independent, ACLY-driven). Ference 2019 specifics added (OR 0.823 per 10 mg/dL LDL-C reduction).

  • mtp.md (7): “Median LDL-C reduction” → “Mean LDL-C reduction” (Cuchel 2013 reports means ± SD throughout; primary endpoint is mean −50%, 95% CI −62, −39, p<0.001). ApoB reduction quantified (−49%, p<0.0001). MTP large subunit MW ~97 → ~99 kDa (UniProt P55157 sequence mass = 99,351 Da). Trial duration: 78 weeks total (26-week efficacy + 52-week safety, was just “26 weeks”). Hepatic steatosis NMRS data quantified (mean liver fat 1.0% → 8.6% at week 26 → 8.3% at week 78, n=20 evaluable). Transaminase AE rates quantified (10/29 ALT/AST >3× ULN; 4/29 >5× ULN).

Propagation pass:

  • apob.md: cleaned [[mtp]] (does not exist; forward reference) annotation (mtp now seeded); added pointer to lomitapide-target context.
  • coq10.md: updated [[mevalonate-pathway]] (stub — page does not yet exist) annotation to active link with FPP-derived ubiquinone framing.
  • lipoprotein-metabolism.md: cleaned [[bempedoic-acid]] (stub) and [[molecules/compounds/statins]] (stub) annotations; therapeutic-targeting table now has direct entity-page links + condensed mechanism summaries.
  • hmgcr.md: cleaned [[mevalonate-pathway]] forward-ref, no page yet annotation; added FPP/GGPP branch-point context.
  • phenotypes/atherosclerosis.md: ezetimibe + bempedoic acid sections now linked to entity pages; IMPROVE-IT and CLEAR Outcomes effect sizes inline.
  • familial-hypercholesterolemia.md: HeFH treatment ladder all wikilinked (statins/ezetimibe/bempedoic-acid); HoFH lomitapide line linked to mtp with Cuchel 2013 numerics.
  • interventions/pharmacological/statins.md: opening paragraph extended with mevalonate-pathway + ezetimibe + bempedoic-acid adjacent-class context.
  • No propagation needed: PCSK9-AD claim was localized to hmgcr.md (corrected in batch 2); Dohlmann 2018-vs-2022 distinction correctly handled in coq10.md (no propagation needed); Bach 2019 n=2,798 only on ezetimibe.md (no other pages cite it).

Mechanistic chain coverage as of end-of-batch-4 (16 wiki-resident entities):

Dietary fat (palmitic-acid vs PUFA; mediterranean-diet) → hepatic srebp-2 sensing → ldlr surface density (post-translationally regulated by pcsk9; pharmacologically by hmgcr inhibition + SREBP-2 feedback via statins / bempedoic-acid / ezetimibe) → plasma apob-particle clearance + Lp(a) residence + apoe-mediated remnant clearance + LPL-mediated TG hydrolysis + mtp-mediated ApoB-particle assembly → atherosclerosis → CV events. mevalonate-pathway is the upstream cholesterol-biosynthesis framework (statin pleiotropy lives here). familial-hypercholesterolemia is the Mendelian-extreme endpoint. lipoprotein-metabolism is the integrated pathway view.

Coverage: 13 atomic protein/compound pages + 1 phenotype + 2 pathways + 2 interventions = 18 wiki-resident entities for the dietary-fat → CV-event chain.

Stubs surfaced for future seeding: abca1 (Tangier disease, RCT), apoa1 (HDL anchor), cetp (HDL→VLDL exchange), lcat (HDL maturation), apoc3 (LPL inhibitor; volanesorsen target), apoc2 (LPL activator), angptl3 (evinacumab target), gpihbp1 (LPL transporter; FCS variant), lomitapide (compound page; MTP-inhibitor monograph), abetalipoproteinemia (phenotype), npc1l1 (ezetimibe target protein), acly (bempedoic target protein), lrp1 (chylomicron remnant receptor), insig-1/insig-2 (SCAP retention), fdps/fdft1 (mevalonate branch enzymes), bisphosphonates (FDPS-targeting class).

Corrections (6):

  1. MAJOR — Dohlmann 2018 study design: Wiki had “double-blind RCT, n=50 (30 statin / 20 controls), 400 mg CoQ10 × 8 wk.” Paper is cross-sectional observational, n=84 (64 statin + 20 controls), no CoQ10 supplementation arm. Corrected. Added [^dohlmann2022] for the actual CoQ10 RCT (2022 Antioxidants, n=37, 400mg × 8wk).
  2. Sever 2003 E3-ligase attribution: “recruiting E3 ligases Hrd1 and RNF145” removed — Sever 2003 does not identify these ligases. Half-life numbers corrected (~1h with INSIG-1+sterols vs ~4–6h).
  3. Sever 2003 cell lines: “CHO + HEK293” → “CHO-K1 + HEK-293S.”
  4. Pinkosky 2016 AMPK: “AMPK activation secondary” → ETC-1002-CoA directly activates AMPK β1 independently of ACLY inhibition; LDL-C lowering is AMPK-independent.
  5. Peterson 2011 footnote: Corrected cell lines; no direct lipin-1–SREBP physical interaction noted; S106/S472 confirmed correct.
  6. Ference 2019 footnote: Added OR 0.823 (95% CI 0.78–0.87, P=4.0×10⁻¹⁴).

Downstream propagation needed: coq10.md may cite Dohlmann 2018 with wrong study design — check before next lint pass.

  1. CRITICAL — Bach 2019 n: 1,260 → 2,798 (15.4% of 18,144 total IMPROVE-IT enrollees). Previous figure was ~55% of actual number — substantive error.
  2. Bach 2019 p-value clarified: Added “p=0.02 for interaction” qualifier; added 8.7 pp ARR figure for ≥75 subgroup.
  3. Zhou 2026 DOI corrected: 10.1186/s12872-026-04250-x10.1186/s12872-026-05541-1 (seeder fabricated the DOI; confirmed via Crossref).
  4. Mahmoud 2025 safety mischaracterization corrected: Seeder stated “safety comparable” — paper found severe adverse events were significantly higher with ezetimibe+statin combination (p=0.03). Body text and footnote updated to reflect this signal.
  5. SHARP LDL reduction claim corrected: “~34% from baseline” → “average LDL-C difference of 0.85 mmol/L (~33 mg/dL)” as stated in the abstract; the percentage was not source-stated.
  6. Ez-PAVE DOI status: Seeder flagged DOI as unconfirmed — DOI is real and resolves correctly. Footnote note updated; added achieved median LDL values (56 vs 66 mg/dL).
  7. IMPROVE-IT footnote expanded: Added arm-level n (9,077 / 9,067), explicit median follow-up vs 7-year KM estimate distinction, secondary endpoint HRs (MI 0.87, ischemic stroke 0.79), CV death HR 1.00.

Unverifiable claims: SHARP LDL percentage from baseline (not stated in abstract; full PDF not_oa). Altmann 2004 group-level n (not in abstract; not_oa). Mahmoud 2025 specific adverse event category driving p=0.03 (not in abstract).

Supersession candidates: Recency search 2023–2026 (PubMed eutils). J Clin Lipidol 2026 meta-analysis (PMID 41775617; n=74,466) confirms 30% RRR per 1 mmol/L LDL reduction including ezetimibe as agent — consistent with existing framing. No supersession of IMPROVE-IT benefit claim found. Ez-PAVE 2026 is already incorporated. literature-checked-through: 2026-05-09.

Downstream propagation needed: molecules/proteins/apob.md and molecules/compounds/statins.md should be checked — both are noted in the seeder brief as having partially verified IMPROVE-IT figures. If they cite n=1,260 for the Bach 2019 elderly subgroup, correct to n=2,798.

Corrections made (6):

  1. CRITICAL — Boxed warning → Warning and Precaution: Wiki incorrectly stated an “FDA boxed warning” for tendon rupture. FDA prescribing information (openFDA) confirms Warning and Precaution only. Added tendon rupture incidence by population.
  2. AMPK mechanism corrected: ”↑ AMP/ATP ratio → AMP-dependent activation” → ETC-1002-CoA activates AMPKα1β1γ1 by direct allosteric mechanism independent of cellular energy charge (Pinkosky 2016 Fig. 1e/f).
  3. Banach 2020 LDL-C −17.4% → −17.8%: Primary efficacy figure for ASCVD/HeFH pool corrected from rounded Key Points value to primary results figure (95% CI −19.5% to −16.0%). Table updated to show both pools.
  4. Gout incidence corrected: “~3–4% vs ~2%” → “3.2% vs 2.2% (CLEAR Outcomes per FDA label)”; earlier Phase 3 data 1.4% vs 0.4% cited from Banach 2020.
  5. Primary prevention subgroup expanded: Added HR 0.70 (95% CI 0.55–0.89; p=0.002); LDL-C −30.2 mg/dL (−21.3%); n per arm; noted this is numerically stronger than overall trial HR 0.87.

Corrections (6):

  1. LDL-C reduction characterization (CRITICAL): “Median LDL-C reduction: −50%” → “Mean LDL-C reduction: −50% (95% CI −62, −39; p<0.001)”. The paper reports mean ± SD values throughout (Table 1); there is no median reported for the primary endpoint. The abstract reports “reduced by 50%” consistent with mean, not median.
  2. ApoB reduction at week 26: “~50% from baseline” → “−49% from baseline at week 26 (p<0.0001)” per Table 1 of Cuchel 2013.
  3. MTP large-subunit MW: “~97 kDa” → “~99 kDa” in both the Identity section and the heterodimer table. UniProt P55157 sequence mass = 99,351 Da.
  4. Trial duration and completers added: Added “78-week total treatment” and “23/29 completed” to the efficacy section (from Cuchel 2013 Methods + Results).
  5. Hepatic steatosis data added: Added NMRS figures (baseline 1.0% → week 26 8.6%, stable to week 78 8.3%; n=20 evaluable) from Cuchel 2013 Results/Discussion to the adverse effects paragraph.
  6. Transaminase AE detail corrected: Vague “ALT/AST elevations common” → precise “10/29 >3× ULN; 4/29 >5× ULN; no permanent discontinuations” from Cuchel 2013.
  7. Gap section: trial duration: “~26 weeks active treatment + follow-up” → “78 weeks total (26-week efficacy + 52-week safety)” with note that fibrosis endpoint was not assessed.

Four recent RCTs/meta-analyses identified (2022–2026) — all are for different agents (obicetrapib/CETP, plozasiran/APOC3, alirocumab/PCSK9i, lerodalcibep/PCSK9i) and do NOT compete with or supersede the lomitapide-HoFH evidence base. Lomitapide remains the only FDA-approved direct MTP inhibitor and no newer Phase 3 lomitapide trial exists. Literature-checked-through: 2026-05-09.

Final verified state: verified: true (partial scope — Cuchel 2013 fully verified; five closed-access foundational papers verified by metadata only; Ricci 1995 PDF inaccessible).


[2026-05-09] ingest + propagate — Lp(a)/statins/ApoE/LPL (batch 3, 4 pages)

Trigger: continuation of batches 1–2. Batch 3 picks the highest-leverage stubs prioritizing clinical relevance and chain completeness.

Pages added (4, all verified: true partial-scope):

  • molecules/proteins/lpa.md (~231 lines) — LPA/apo(a)/Lp(a). KIV-2 CNV heritability (61–69% Eu / 19–44% Af per Schmidt 2016). MR causality (Burgess 2018; Björnson 2024 6.6× per-particle). Pelacarsen Lp(a)HORIZON, olpasiran OCEAN(a)-Outcomes, muvalaplin oral Phase 2.
  • interventions/pharmacological/statins.md — class page, all 7 approved statins; CTT 2010 RR 0.78 (95% CI 0.76–0.80) per mmol/L; ACC/AHA 2018 intensity tiers; CTT 2024 T2D update; SAMSON N-of-1 nocebo finding; cerivastatin withdrawal context; ClinicalTrials.gov 180 active.
  • molecules/proteins/apoe.md (~218 lines) — Three-allele biology (ε2 7%, ε3 78%, ε4 14%); Farrer 1997 ε4 AD OR 3.2/14.9; Schächter 1994 centenarian ε2 enrichment; Montagne 2020 BBB sPDGFRβ; Shi 2017 tau-independent neurodegeneration; Bejaoui 2025 epigenetic-aging.
  • molecules/proteins/lpl.md (~231 lines) — Capillary-endothelial TG hydrolase (NOT plasma-secreted; GPIHBP1-anchored). ApoC-III/ANGPTL3 inhibitors. REDUCE-IT vs STRENGTH discordance preserved unresolved. Olezarsen BRIDGE-TIMI 73a, plozasiran PALISADE Phase 3. FCS treatment landscape.

Verification corrections (notable):

  • lpa.md (8): CRITICAL: Burgess 2018 cohort — wiki said “n=431,167 UK Biobank” but Burgess 2018 actually used CHD Exome+ Consortium (n=48,333 IPD); UK Biobank NOT used. Kamstrup 2009 instruments — only KIV-2 CNV (NOT rs10455872). Kamstrup 2009 statistic HR not OR. CRITICAL: ApoB “overcounts → underestimates” — Lp(a) inclusion in ApoB underestimates total atherogenic risk (Lp(a) particles are ~6.6× more atherogenic; logically inverted in seed). Wu 2026 PMID corrected.

  • statins.md (5): CRITICAL: CTT 2010 CI corrected — wiki had “0.74–0.82” (older 2005 14-trial CTT figure); correct 2010 26-trial figure is RR 0.78 (95% CI 0.76–0.80, p<0.0001). IMPROVE-IT DOI added (Cannon 2015). SAMSON DOI corrected (Wood 2020). ClinicalTrials.gov active count 9→180 (off by 20×).

  • apoe.md (6): Schächter 1994 n 338→325 genotyped; Montagne 2020 cohort 245→435 with proper sub-counts; CSF marker name PDGFR-β → sPDGFRβ; Bejaoui 2025 cohort distinguished (88 with methylation, not 14,669 screening); ε2/ε2 amyloid resilience claim flagged unsourced (Christchurch was APOE3 Christchurch, NOT ε2/ε2).

  • lpl.md (8): CRITICAL: STRENGTH citation — wiki cited secondary analysis for HR 0.99; corrected to primary JAMA 2020 paper. CRITICAL: APOC3 LOF DOI wrong (resolved to correction notice; corrected to NEJMoa1307095). CRITICAL: APOC3 LOF design mislabeled “mendelian-randomization” → exome-sequencing/LOF-variant association. CRITICAL: LPL Ser447Stop CAD claim — Xie 2017 reports OR 1.04 (p=0.90, I²=87%) per allele, NOT the seeder’s “~10% lower CHD risk.” PALISADE dosing Q6M→Q3M; volanesorsen thrombocytopenia rates corrected.

Propagation pass:

  • phenotypes/atherosclerosis.md: mechanistic chain extended to lpa (parallel high-atherogenicity particle), apoe (chylomicron remnant clearance + AD risk), lpl (capillary TG hydrolysis), statins; APOE row in non-modifiable risks linked; Lp(a) biomarker section linked + Björnson 2024 6.6× claim added; LDLR^-/-^/ApoE^-/-^ mouse-model footnote linked; statins section linked with CTT 2024 T2D framing.
  • Forward-refs already in place in apob.md, lipoprotein-metabolism.md, trem2.md (apoe-TREM2 ligand) all now resolve.

Mechanistic chain coverage as of end-of-batch-3:

Dietary fat (palmitic-acid vs PUFA; mediterranean-diet) → hepatic srebp-2 sensing → ldlr surface density (post-translationally by pcsk9; pharmacologically by hmgcr inhibition + SREBP-2 feedback via statins) → plasma apob-particle clearance + Lp(a) residence + apoe-mediated remnant clearance + LPL-mediated TG hydrolysis → atherosclerosis → CV events. familial-hypercholesterolemia is the Mendelian-extreme endpoint; lipoprotein-metabolism is the integrated pathway view.

End-to-end coverage now: 12 atomic protein/compound pages + 1 phenotype + 1 pathway + 2 interventions (Mediterranean diet, statins). The dietary-fat → CV-event chain is fully wiki-resident.

Stubs for future seeding: mtp, abca1, apoa1, cetp, lcat, apoc3, apoc2, angptl3, gpihbp1, mevalonate-pathway, bempedoic-acid, ezetimibe, fibrates, icosapent-ethyl, lrp1, insig-1/insig-2.

Corrections (8):

  1. STRENGTH footnote citation (CRITICAL): seeder cited doi:10.1001/jamacardio.2021.1157 (secondary analysis paper) for HR 0.99 (0.90–1.09); corrected to doi:10.1001/jama.2020.22258 (primary JAMA 2020 paper). Secondary analysis reference preserved in footnote note-field.
  2. BRIDGE-TIMI 73a TG reductions: “50 mg reduced TG 53%” and “80 mg reduced TG 60%” → “49.3 percentage points (50 mg) and 53.1 percentage points (80 mg) vs placebo” per PMID 38587249.
  3. PALISADE dosing interval: “Q6M” → “Q3M (every 3 months)” per PMID 39225259; also added 50 mg arm data (−78%) and pancreatitis OR.
  4. APOC3 LOF footnote DOI (CRITICAL): doi:10.1056/nejmx140063 (a correction notice) → doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1307095 (the actual primary paper).
  5. APOC3 LOF footnote study design: “mendelian-randomization” → “exome-sequencing + LOF-variant association study (NOT MR)”.
  6. APOC3 LOF footnote n: “~75,000” → “110,970 for CHD analysis (34,002 cases + 76,968 controls)”.
  7. Ser447X CAD-risk claim (CRITICAL): wiki claimed Xie 2017 supports “~10% lower CHD risk per allele” — Xie 2017 does NOT support this; X allele model is null (OR 1.04, p=0.90); only XX homozygote shows increased CAD risk (OR 2.37). Claim rewritten; per-allele benefit attributed to GWAS consortia data (different source). Gap tag added.
  8. Volanesorsen thrombocytopenia rate: “platelet counts fell below 50×10⁹/L in ~25%” → accurate APPROACH trial data: 45% had plt 50–100K, 6% had severe (~25K), 0% below 50K after enhanced monitoring per PMID 31390500.

Unverifiable claims (closed-access abstracts only):

  • REDUCE-IT median baseline TG ~216 mg/dL: not in abstract; flagged in body with “(per full paper — not confirmable from abstract alone)”
  • REDUCE-IT LDL-C increase in mineral oil placebo arm (~11 mg/dL): not verifiable from abstract

Supersession candidates (R25): None found. The PALISADE (plozasiran) and BRIDGE-TIMI 73a (olezarsen) Phase 2/3 data are the most recent for these specific agents. Ongoing Phase 3 trials (SHASTA-3, MUIR-3, CORE-OLE) have not yet reported CV outcomes. No post-PALISADE Phase 3 readouts identified through 2026-05-09. Literature-checked-through confirmed 2026-05-09.

  2. Montagne 2020 n + cohort: wiki said “n=245 cognitively normal” — enrolled n=435 (normal + mildly impaired); n=245 DCE-MRI; n=350 CSF sPDGFRβ. Corrected.

Corrections (8):

  1. Burgess 2018 cohort + n (CRITICAL): wiki had “n=431,167 UK Biobank + CARDIoGRAMplusC4D” — paper used CHD Exome+ Consortium (n=48,333 individual participant data, 5 studies) + CARDIoGRAMplusC4D summarized data (62,240 CHD + 127,299 controls). UK Biobank was NOT used. Corrected body text and footnote.
  2. Burgess 2018 CI added: 95% CI 71.0–137.0 for the 101.5 mg/dL estimate was in the paper but missing from wiki body; added.
  3. Kamstrup 2009 n (MEDIUM): wiki footnote had “n=9,330 Copenhagen City Heart Study” — CCHS had n=8,637; full multi-cohort study n≈40,486. Corrected to multi-cohort total.
  4. Kamstrup 2009 instruments (MEDIUM): wiki body listed “KIV-2 repeat size and rs10455872 SNP” as instruments — Kamstrup 2009 used only KIV-2 repeat-size polymorphism; rs10455872 was NOT an instrument in that paper. Corrected.
  5. Kamstrup 2009 OR → HR: wiki said “odds ratio 1.22” — Kamstrup 2009 is a prospective cohort; correct statistic is HR (hazard ratio) 1.22. Corrected.
  6. Bjornson 2024 n: wiki had “>430,000” — actual n=502,413 per paper. Corrected body and footnote. Added specific OR data (1.28 vs 1.04 per 50 nmol/L).
  7. KIV-2 copy minimum: wiki had “2–40+ copies” — Schmidt 2016 states 1 to >40 copies. Corrected to “1 to >40”.
  8. ApoB “overcounts” language: wiki said ApoB assay “overcounts atherogenic particle burden” — incorrect direction; ApoB blends Lp(a)-ApoB (more atherogenic) with LDL-ApoB equally, meaning it underestimates total atherogenic risk for high-Lp(a) individuals. Corrected to “underestimates.”

Additional corrections:

  • OxPL mechanism: MCP-1 is secreted by endothelial cells, not macrophages; IL-8 is from macrophages. Corrected attribution in mechanism paragraph.
  • Wu 2026 PMID: wiki had 41264184 (wrong, returns different paper) → corrected to 41937094. Added CIs to drug reduction percentages.
  • Bjornson 2024 footnote: updated “download pending” → PDF now available locally; added specific OR data.

Supersession check (R25): No Phase 3 cardiovascular outcomes trial results for Lp(a)HORIZON (pelacarsen) or OCEAN(a)-Outcomes (olpasiran) found as of 2026-05-09. Wiki statement “None has reported outcomes data as of 2026-05-09” confirmed accurate. literature-checked-through: 2026-05-09.

Downstream propagation needed: pathways/lipoprotein-metabolism.md cites Burgess 2018 n and may inherit the wrong UK Biobank cohort description — verify. apob.md may reference Lp(a) ApoB-overcounting language — verify direction.


[2026-05-09] ingest + propagate — lipid-lowering target triangle completed (batch 2, 3 pages)

Trigger: continuation of batch 1 (apob/palmitic-acid/srebp-2/ldlr/mediterranean-diet). Three pages flagged in batch 1 as missing-but-load-bearing: HMGCR (statin target), familial hypercholesterolemia (clinical Mendelian endpoint of the chain), lipoprotein-metabolism (canonical pathway integration).

Pages added (3, all verified: true partial-scope):

  • molecules/proteins/hmgcr.md (~221 lines) — rate-limiting cholesterol biosynthesis; statin target; mevalonate pathway branch point; SCAP/INSIG/ERAD; AMPK Ser872; CTT meta-analysis; Swerdlow 2015 HMGCR-MR T2D adverse-effect.
  • phenotypes/familial-hypercholesterolemia.md (~198 lines) — autosomal codominant LDL clearance disorder; HeFH 1:313 (Beheshti 2020); HoFH 1:160k–300k (EAS); Goldstein-Brown 5-class LDLR mutation schema; cumulative-LDL-exposure framework.
  • pathways/lipoprotein-metabolism.md (~224 lines) — KEGG hsa04979, Reactome R-HSA-174824. 5 sub-pathways (exogenous/dietary, endogenous/hepatic, RCT, Lp(a), FFA flux). Therapeutic-targeting overview integrating all approved + pipeline lipid drugs.

Verification corrections (substantial across all 3):

  • hmgcr.md (7): active-site residues confirmed Glu559/Lys691 via UniProt sequence (the seeder had over-corrected the brief’s training-memory residues to all-Asp, which was wrong); T2D OR 1.12 (95% CI 1.06–1.18) per Swerdlow 2015 (was “9–11%”); Ference 2015 n 108,376 (was ~48k); Benn 2017 n 111,194; CRITICAL: Benn 2017 PCSK9-AD claim was factually inverted — wiki had “PCSK9 shows AD signal” but Benn 2017 found BOTH HMGCR and PCSK9 MR null for AD; corrected with #gap/contradictory-evidence. CTT 2024 dose-intensity T2D update integrated.
  • familial-hypercholesterolemia.md (6): Beheshti 2020 scope corrected (104-study meta, was “44 studies”); HoFH 1:160k–300k attribution clarified (EAS via Abifadel 2023, not Tromp 2022 which says 1:300k); evinacumab citation upgraded from review to Raal 2020 NEJM ELIPSE-HoFH primary trial (n=65, between-group −49.0 pp, p<0.001); Santos 2014 reframed as three-group analysis.
  • lipoprotein-metabolism.md (7): TANDEM n=407, LDL-C 48.6%; CRITICAL: anacetrapib REVEAL re-classified — wiki had grouped all 4 CETP inhibitors as failures, but REVEAL (n=30,449) showed RR 0.91, p<0.004 (attributed to LDL-C, not HDL-C — Merck declined to submit); Schmidt 2016 KIV-2 variance corrected to population-specific (61–69% Europeans / 19–44% Africans, was “~50%”); ODYSSEY/FOURIER enriched.

Schema decision deferred: seeder added non-schema icd-10-hofh: E78.02 field on FH page to handle two ICD codes (E78.01 HeFH, E78.02 HoFH). Recommendation for user: formalize via icd-10: accepting list, or add icd-10-variants: field.

Propagation pass:

  • apob.md: cleaned “(forward reference — no page yet)” annotations; added pointer to lipoprotein-metabolism in Pathway context.
  • pcsk9.md: pathways: ["[[lipoprotein-metabolism]]"] added; FH GOF section now references familial-hypercholesterolemia for genetic-architecture context.
  • ldlr.md: cleaned (stub; forward-ref) and #stub annotations on 5 newly-resolved wikilinks; added lipoprotein-metabolism to cross-references.
  • srebp-2.md: added familial-hypercholesterolemia and lipoprotein-metabolism to cross-references.
  • phenotypes/atherosclerosis.md: mechanistic chain in opening paragraph extended to hmgcr + lipoprotein-metabolism + familial-hypercholesterolemia; statins section enriched (CTT 22%/mmol/L, T2D OR 1.12, geranylgeranyl-PP pleiotropy); risk-factor table wikilinked.
  • PCSK9-AD propagation check: confirmed pcsk9.md does NOT contain the fabricated PCSK9-AD claim (it was localized to hmgcr.md and corrected in-place by verifier).

Stubs surfaced for future seeding: mtp (lomitapide target), lpa / apo(a) (highly atherogenic genetic CV-risk factor), abca1, lpl, apoa1, apoe, cetp, lcat, mevalonate-pathway, bempedoic-acid, angptl3, statins (class page), insig-1 / insig-2.

Mechanistic chain coverage as of end-of-batch-2: dietary fat (palmitic-acid vs PUFA; mediterranean-diet) → hepatic srebp-2 sensing → ldlr surface density (regulated post-translationally by pcsk9; pharmacologically by hmgcr inhibition + SREBP-2 feedback) → plasma apob-particle clearance → atherosclerosis → CV events. familial-hypercholesterolemia is the Mendelian-extreme endpoint. lipoprotein-metabolism is the integrated pathway view. End-to-end chain is now wiki-resident with 8 protein/compound atomic pages + 1 phenotype + 1 pathway + 1 intervention.

[2026-05-09] ingest + propagate — dietary-fat → ApoB → CV-event mechanistic chain (5-page batch)

Trigger: a coverage audit surfaced that the wiki had no canonical home for the upstream half of the dietary-fat → atherogenic-particle → atherosclerosis chain. Atherosclerosis itself, PCSK9, and senescence-driven plaque biology were well covered; ApoB, LDLR, SREBP-2, palmitic acid, and Mediterranean diet were not.

Pages added (5, all verified: true partial-scope after this batch):

  • molecules/proteins/apob.md — central apolipoprotein on every atherogenic particle; MR-causality hierarchy ApoB > non-HDL-C > LDL-C; ~200 lines
  • molecules/compounds/palmitic-acid.md — dominant dietary SFA; 7-hallmark mechanistic page (NLRP3 palmitoylation, ER stress, mTORC1, autophagy block, endothelial senescence, β-oxidation overload, SASP propagation); LDL/ApoB-raising via SREBP-2/LDLR
  • molecules/proteins/srebp-2.md — sterol-regulatory TF; SCAP-INSIG-S1P/S2P sensor; the dietary-fat → LDLR transcriptional node
  • molecules/proteins/ldlr.md — LDL receptor; clathrin-mediated endocytosis cycle; PCSK9 dual-route degradation; FH 5-class mutation schema
  • interventions/dietary/mediterranean-diet.md — RCT-validated dietary intervention; PREDIMED 2018 + CORDIOPREV 2022 + Lyon 1999; Bozack 2025 epigenetic-aging signature

Verification summary: all 5 verified end-to-end against primary sources where PDFs available. Substantial corrections — see per-page log entries below. Notable:

  • ldlr.md: ALL 7 domain residue ranges seeder-fabricated (TM helix off by 74 residues); Poirier 2009 mechanism inverted
  • srebp-2.md: Ser-372 was on SREBP-1c, not SREBP-2 (fabricated residue); PCSK9 not in Horton 2002 (PCSK9 discovered 2003)
  • apob.md: Richardson 2020 instrument count fabricated (“118” → actual 255 SNPs / 531 multivariable)
  • mediterranean-diet.md: ClinicalTrials.gov active-trial count off by ~80× (4 → 325); first author of CRP umbrella review wrong (Kasiri → Tran)
  • palmitic-acid.md: DHHC enzyme overspecification; “equivalent to NLRP3 KO” claim removed

Propagation pass:

  • phenotypes/atherosclerosis.md: added body-prose mechanistic chain anchoring apob/ldlr/srebp-2/palmitic-acid/mediterranean-diet; added dietary-fat-composition row to Modifiable risk-factor table; updated statins section to cite SREBP-2/LDLR upregulation as primary mechanism; added ApoB to biomarker list.
  • molecules/proteins/pcsk9.md: backlinks to apob/ldlr/srebp-2; cleaned [[atherosclerosis]] (stub) reference to active link; added palmitic-acid + mediterranean-diet in dietary-modulation framing.
  • hallmarks/chronic-inflammation.md: NLRP3 inflammasome section now cites palmitic acid as a saturated-fatty-acid DAMP with mechanistic detail; mediterranean-diet linked as dietary lever.
  • Other 5 hallmark pages (cellular-senescence, deregulated-nutrient-sensing, disabled-macroautophagy, loss-of-proteostasis, altered-intercellular-communication, mitochondrial-dysfunction): no manual edits needed — Dataview queries auto-include both new pages via frontmatter hallmarks: / target-hallmarks:.

Frameworks updates (made by seeders during initial drafting):

  • frameworks/intervention-classes.md: 5 new mechanism classes — pro-inflammatory, ldl-raising, lipotoxic, senescence-inducing (palmitic-acid seed), dietary-fat-composition (mediterranean-diet seed).

Stubs surfaced for future seeding (highest priority): hmgcr (statin target, completes the lipid-lowering triangle), familial-hypercholesterolemia (FH phenotype page), lipoprotein-metabolism (canonical pathway page).


[2026-05-09] verify — molecules/proteins/ldlr.md

Pages verified: 1

  • molecules/proteins/ldlr.md — corrections applied:
    1. Domain architecture — all seven boundary residue ranges corrected against UniProt P01130 feature table (accessed 2026-05-09). Every single domain boundary in the seeder’s table was wrong. Corrected values: LBD class A repeats 25–313 (was 22–292); EGF-like 1 (EGF-A) 314–353 (was 293–332); EGF-like 2 (EGF-B) 354–393 (was 333–371); β-propeller/YWTD 397–658 (was 372–541); EGF-like 3 (EGF-C) 663–712 (was 542–581); O-glycosylation region 721–768 (was 582–714); transmembrane helix 789–810 (was 715–736); cytoplasmic/NPVY motif 823–828 (was 737–860, NPVY confirmed correct). Added note that residue numbering includes 21-aa signal peptide.
    2. PCSK9 mechanism attribution corrected — Poirier 2009 (J Biol Chem) demonstrates that endogenous PCSK9 degrades LDLR primarily via the intracellular trans-Golgi→lysosome route, not the extracellular co-endocytosis route described in the wiki. CLC knockdown (disrupts Golgi trafficking) increased LDLR ~2.9-fold; Dynasore (blocks surface endocytosis) had no significant effect. The extracellular pathway requires 100 nM exogenous PCSK9 (supra-physiological). Body text rewritten to accurately reflect this; footnote updated accordingly.
    3. HeFH prevalence updated — ~1:313 per the most recent meta-analysis (104 studies, 11M subjects, cited in Abifadel 2023 [ref. 21/22]); prior wiki value was “~1:250–300” (an older EAS Consensus Panel estimate). HoFH 1:160,000–300,000 confirmed.
    4. Statin LDL-C reduction figures mis-cited — ~50%/~30% figures were cited to Rashid 2005 (a mouse PCSK9-KO study), which is the wrong paper. Tagged #gap/unsourced and flagged that the correct citation is a clinical statin meta-analysis (e.g., Cholesterol Treatment Trialists).
    5. Mensink 2003 mechanistic claim flagged — Mensink 2003 is a clinical meta-analysis of dietary fat trials; the molecular mechanism (dietary palmitate → INSIG-SCAP-SREBP-2 → LDLR suppression) was attributed to it but is not present in a clinical dietary meta-analysis. Flagged #gap/needs-replication with note that a molecular primary source is needed.
    6. Brown 1979 ~150 recycling cycles confirmed absent — read full PDF; no quantitative recycling-cycle count appears. The 1979 paper labels recycling as ”? recycling” (question mark) in Fig. 7, indicating it was hypothetical at the time. Gap tag already present; footnote updated.
    7. FOURIER n/HR/CI/p verified against PDF — n=27,564, HR 0.85 (95% CI 0.79–0.92), p<0.001 for primary composite endpoint confirmed exactly.
    8. Closed-access tags added — Etxebarria 2015, Defesche 2017, Reeskamp 2021, Rashid 2005, Mensink 2003 all tagged #gap/no-fulltext-access; their quantitative claims are unverified against full text.

Pages unverifiable (closed-access or download failure): Etxebarria 2015, Defesche 2017, Reeskamp 2021, Rashid 2005, Mensink 2003.


[2026-05-09] verify — phenotypes/familial-hypercholesterolemia.md

Pages verified: 1

  • phenotypes/familial-hypercholesterolemia.md — corrections applied:

    1. Beheshti 2020 study scope corrected — the paper is a 104-study meta-analysis across 4 population categories; the seeder described it as “44 studies” throughout. 44 studies is the general-population subanalysis only. Prevalence figure (1:313, 95% CI 1:384–1:256) and n=10.9M confirmed via PubMed abstract.

    2. HoFH prevalence attribution corrected — Wiki said “1:160,000–300,000 [^tromp-2022]” but Tromp 2022 PDF only states “~1 in 300,000.” The 1:160,000–300,000 range derives from the EAS Consensus Panel via Hardy-Weinberg calculation, cited in Abifadel 2023. Body text and footnote updated to correctly attribute the range and clarify Tromp 2022 uses ~1:300,000.

    3. Evinacumab citation replaced — seeder cited ELIPSE HoFH trial data to Doggrell SA (Expert Opin Biol Ther 2021), a review. Replaced with primary source: Raal FJ et al. NEJM 2020 (doi:10.1056/NEJMoa2004215). Trial parameters verified: n=65, 2:1 randomization, 47.1% LDL-C reduction vs +1.9% placebo, between-group difference −49.0 pp (95% CI −65.0 to −33.1, p<0.001). Old doggrell-2021 footnote replaced with raal-2020 footnote.

    4. Santos 2014 three-group description corrected — body text framed the comparison as “null vs Class 5,” which is not what Santos 2014 measures. Paper compares null (22.5%), defective (27.1%), and no identified mutation (47.4%); the 47.4% group is “no identified mutation” not “Class 5.” Body text rewritten with all three groups, sample sizes (n=40/59/57), and OR (9.07) confirmed via PubMed abstract.

    5. Abifadel 2003 PDF path corrected — seeder footnote pointed to non-existent (stale local path) path; corrected to. S127R (family HC92) and F216L (family HC60) mutation assignments confirmed against full PDF.

    6. Tromp 2022 archive status updated — footnote said “archive status: pending”; PDF downloaded during this verification pass. Path updated to. n=751, 9% ASCVD at diagnosis, median age first MACE 24.5 yr (non-HIC) vs 37.0 yr (HIC) confirmed against full PDF. Note: abstract uses 37.0 yr; results body text shows 35.0 yr for MACE-free survival figure — abstract headline used as primary reference.

    7. Ibrahim 2024 footnote enriched — added n=90 FH + 45 controls, exact OR 3.66 (95% CI 1.62–8.27), and mean cumulative LDL-C values (181 ± 54 vs 105 ± 33 mmol/L·yr); confirmed 75 mmol/L·yr doubling claim via PubMed abstract.

    8. schema note: seeder added non-schema icd-10-hofh: E78.02 field to handle FH’s two ICD-10 codes (E78.01 HeFH, E78.02 HoFH). Left in place per verification SOP — this is a schema decision for the user, not a verifier action.

Pages unverifiable (PDF download failed): Beheshti 2020 (green OA, fetch failed — verified via PubMed abstract); Ibrahim 2024 (hybrid OA, fetch failed — verified via PubMed abstract); Santos 2014 (pending, then failed — verified via PubMed abstract); Etxebarria 2015 (not downloaded); Sturm 2018 (not_oa).

Supersession check (R25): searched PubMed for FH meta-analyses/RCTs 2023–2026. No supersession identified for core prevalence or treatment claims. One 2025 pediatric FH meta-analysis (European Heart Journal Open) updates treatment-response data in children but does not supersede Beheshti 2020 prevalence estimate.

Downstream propagation needed: molecules/proteins/ldlr.md references HoFH prevalence (1:160,000–300,000) — the attribution clarification (Tromp 2022 = ~1:300,000; 1:160,000–300,000 from EAS Consensus Panel via Abifadel 2023) should be propagated there. Also: molecules/proteins/pcsk9.md may cite Abifadel 2003 — the pedigree labels (HC92=S127R, HC60=F216L) are now more precisely documented.

Supersession check (R25 — type: protein, not strictly required; checked given active drug development context):

  • PubMed search “LDL receptor LDLR therapy aging” 2024–2026: 7 results. No meta-analysis or large RCT supersedes the FOURIER trial (HR 0.85) or the core PCSK9-LDLR biology. PMID 40082904 (Jee 2025 MR study, Korean/Japanese GWAS, n=~2M) provides additional MR support for LDLR as a causal CAD target — consistent with existing wiki framing.

[2026-05-09] verify — molecules/proteins/apob.md

Pages verified: 1

  • molecules/proteins/apob.md — corrections applied:
    1. Richardson 2020 instrument count fabricated: Wiki claimed “118 genetic instruments.” The paper used 255 SNPs for the ApoB GWAS and 531 combined SNPs in the multivariable MR. The “118” figure is not stated anywhere in the paper; it was fabricated. Corrected to 255 ApoB SNPs / 531 multivariable-MR SNPs with exact OR statistics (ApoB: 1.92; 95% CI 1.31–2.81; P=7.47×10⁻⁴).
    2. Isoform length precision: Wiki stated “4,563 aa (ApoB-100)” in identity section without distinguishing precursor from mature protein. UniProt P04114 chain annotation: precursor = 4,563 aa (signal peptide aa 1–27); mature ApoB-100 = 4,536 aa (residues 28–4563); mature ApoB-48 = 2,152 aa (residues 28–2179). Corrected in identity section and isoform table.
    3. **Ference 2024 ~3× claim tagged no-fulltext-access: Closed access (not_oa); cannot PDF-verify the quantitative claim.
    4. **Mensink 2003 0.036 mmol/L coefficient tagged no-fulltext-access: Bronze OA; download failed (Cloudflare); specific LDL-C coefficient and ApoB-specific effects are not in the public abstract. Body text updated to distinguish what the abstract confirms vs. what is unverified.
    5. Sniderman 2019 footnote updated: PMC7369156 cross-checked; “one ApoB per particle” stoichiometry confirmed from PMC text. Confirmed the review does NOT contain LDLR site B residue numbers — already correctly tagged unsourced in body. Download note corrected from “pending” to “archive failed (0 candidate URLs).”
    6. Richardson 2020 n-range corrected: Wiki said “n=441,016”; the GWAS n varies by trait (393,193–441,016; ApoB in 439,214). Corrected to range.
    7. Canonical identity fields re-verified: UniProt P04114, NCBI Gene 338, HGNC 603, Ensembl ENSG00000084674 all confirmed via live APIs.

Pages unverifiable (closed-access): Ference 2024 (not_oa) — no-fulltext-access added. Mensink 2003 (bronze OA download failure) — no-fulltext-access added.

literature-checked-through: 2026-05-09 — PubMed search “apolipoprotein B mendelian randomization” last 12 months returned 41 results; no meta-analysis or large RCT directly supersedes Richardson 2020’s core finding that ApoB is the predominant causal CHD lipid signal. Supersession candidate noted: PMID 40089107 (JLR 2025, MR study) raises ApoB-independent HDL subparticle risk profile — complementary rather than contradictory. PMID 41568673 (EHJ 2026, “risk-weighted apoB”) extends rather than supersedes by adding TRL and Lp(a) weighting to the ApoB metric. Neither overturns the Richardson 2020 causal-attribution claim.

[2026-05-09] verify — interventions/pharmacological/statins.md

Pages verified: 1

  • interventions/pharmacological/statins.md — corrections applied:

    1. CTT 2010 CI corrected (CRITICAL) — footnote [^ctt2010] stated “RR ~0.78 (95% CI 0.74–0.82)”. PDF Figure 1 (all 26 trials combined) shows RR 0.78 (95% CI 0.76–0.80, p<0.0001). The CI 0.74–0.82 is from the earlier 2005 CTT analysis; the 2010 paper’s combined estimate is 0.76–0.80. Body text updated and footnote corrected. Also updated n to “169,138 (≈170,000)”.

    2. IMPROVE-IT DOI confirmed; unsourced removed — doi:10.1056/NEJMoa1410489 (Cannon et al., NEJM 2015;372:2387–97, n=18,144, median 7-yr) confirmed via PubMed PMID 26039521 and Crossref. New [^improveit2015] footnote added.

    3. SAMSON trial added with correct DOI — doi:10.1056/NEJMc2031173 (Wood et al. NEJM 2020;383:2182–84; PMID 33196154) confirmed. N-of-1 crossover, ~90% nocebo. New [^samson2020] footnote added; body text rewritten to correctly identify SAMSON and Kristiansen as separate concordant trials.

    4. Kristiansen 2020 footnote corrected — published volume/issue 7(6):507–16 added; mean VAS difference 0.31 (95% CI −0.24 to 0.86) added; “71 completed” (of 77 randomized) noted.

    5. ClinicalTrials active count updated — 9 → 180 (ClinicalTrials.gov v2 API, 2026-05-09).

    6. CTT 2024 T2D data confirmed — low/mod RR 1.10 (1.04–1.16), high-intensity RR 1.36 (1.25–1.48), ~62% in top glycaemia quartile all confirmed against PDF.

    7. Landmark RCT numerics confirmed via PubMed abstracts — 4S, WOSCOPS, CARE, HPS, PROVE-IT, TNT, JUPITER figures all match wiki exactly.

Pages unverifiable (no local PDF): Ference 2015 JACC (status: failed); landmark RCT PDFs (pending/not_oa — verified via abstracts only); SAMSON (pending); Kristiansen (pending); IMPROVE-IT (not checked).

Supersession candidates (R25): PubMed 2024–2026 search (307 hits) — no meta-analysis supersedes the core CTT 22%/mmol/L framing. 2026 elderly meta-analysis (Atherosclerosis, n=38,089) consistent with existing framing. literature-checked-through: 2026-05-09.

Downstream propagation needed: none — hmgcr.md and apob.md already have the correct CI 0.76–0.80; incorrect 0.74–0.82 was localized to statins.md footnote only.


[2026-05-09] verify — molecules/proteins/srebp-2.md

Pages verified: 1

  • molecules/proteins/srebp-2.md — corrections applied:
    1. Ser-372 misattribution corrected: Wiki claimed “AMPK phosphorylates SREBP-2 at Ser-372.” Li 2011 (Cell Metabolism) identifies Ser-372 as the SREBP-1c residue; SREBP-2 is also a direct AMPK substrate (in vitro kinase assay) but the equivalent site on SREBP-2 is not explicitly numbered in the paper. Corrected to reflect SREBP-1c Ser-372 as the characterized site; SREBP-2 equivalent noted as unspecified.
    2. PCSK9 removed from Horton 2002 target list: Horton 2002 JCI does not list PCSK9 (PCSK9 was not discovered until 2003). PCSK9’s SRE-mediated SREBP-2 regulation is now attributed to Jeong 2008 + Dubuc 2004 only.
    3. Cleavage residue numbers qualified: Brown & Goldstein 1997 describes the S1P cleavage sequence as RSVL↓S (Leu-Ser bond) without specifying exact residue numbers for SREBP-2. Residue numbers (~Leu-522 for S1P, ~Leu-484 for S2P) attributed to Duncan 1997 (J Biol Chem 272:12778) and framed as approximate.
    4. Peterson 2011 mechanism corrected: “excluding SREBP from chromatin” → “reducing nuclear SREBP protein abundance”; no direct lipin-1–SREBP physical interaction detected in Peterson 2011.
    5. Identity fields confirmed: UniProt Q12772, NCBI Gene 6721, HGNC 11290, Ensembl ENSG00000198911, 1141 aa all verified via live API.

Pages unverifiable (closed-access): Dubuc 2004 (not_oa) — verified via PubMed abstract only; PCSK9-as-SREBP-2-target claim confirmed by abstract.

Downstream pages to check: pcsk9, hmgcr, ldlr, ampk — may cite SREBP-2 Ser-372 claim or the PCSK9-SREBP2 mechanism; main agent should check footnotes.

literature-checked-through: 2026-05-09 — no supersession candidates found (no meta-analysis or large RCT post-2023 directly addressing SREBP-2 mechanism in aging context).

[2026-05-09] R37 close — remaining R35-Stage2 + R36 forward queue (20 pages)

Continuation round following the R35-Stage2 + R36-followup close. User-requested “continue with remaining items” — seeded + verified the remaining forward-queue items surfaced by R35-Stage2. 20 atomic content + MOC pages seeded + verified in single-day round. Three waves of 8 + 8 + 4 seeders, with matched verifier waves; 60 agent invocations.

Major verifier findings — fabricated/inverted/wrong claims caught

This round continued the high-yield-correction pattern of the prior rounds. Every page had at least one substantive correction; many had multiple.

Direction-inverted claims (most consequential):

  • Lian 2020 (VEGFR2 page) — wiki said angiogenesis “reversed by miR-25-3p inhibition”; paper actually shows miR-25-3p is DOWNregulated in aging and restoration is achieved by AGOMIR (upregulation). Direction reversed.
  • Picca 2022 (GHSR page; carryover from prior round) — already documented; paper says ghrelin levels do NOT vary with aging (opposite of seeder claim).
  • Dehghan 2019 (cAMP-signaling page) — wiki said hydralazine INHIBITS PKA; paper actually shows hydralazine ACTIVATES PKA (binds + stabilizes catalytic subunit, releases regulatory subunit, then activates SIRT1). Direction backwards.
  • Kelly 2018 prefrontal cAMP (cAMP-signaling) — wiki conflated prefrontal + hippocampal cAMP decline; paper shows prefrontal cAMP INCREASES with age (opposite direction).

Fabricated cohort numbers / statistics:

  • IL-6 protein page — “~30% lower CHD odds” (Swerdlow 2012) was the most consequential factual error of the round; actual OR 0.95 (95% CI 0.93-0.97) per allele = 5% reduction; 30% nowhere in paper. Cohort n: “~40,000 cases” was actually 25,458/100,740. MR instrument: rs2228145 was actually rs7529229 (rs2228145 is functional correlate). sIL-6R plasma level: 300-400 ng/mL was actually for sgp130 (different soluble protein); sIL-6R is ~75 ng/mL — two soluble proteins swapped.
  • Colchicine page — multiple fabricated COLCOT figures: GI 7.7%/5.3% (not in paper; actual 17.5%/17.6% NS); non-CV death 0.9%/0.5% p=0.09 (fabricated); LoDoCo2 GI discontinuation 9.7%/6.4% (paper doesn’t report). Pneumonia signal misattributed COLCOT↔LoDoCo2 swap (LoDoCo2 directionally opposite). COPPS-2 p=0.002 → actual 0.046. clinical-trials-active 7 → 68.
  • GHR page — Guevara-Aguirre 2011 “~5-fold cancer reduction” removed (paper actually shows 1/99 GHRD vs 17% relatives — near-complete absence, not “fold reduction”). Multiple lifespan-extension percentages (Coschigano 35-40%; Bartke 50-60%; Brown-Borg 30-50%) removed because primary papers don’t state them.
  • GlycanAge page — Jurić 2020 framing wrong: wiki said “surgical menopause cohort with bilateral oophorectomy”; paper is GnRH agonist (leuprolide) pharmacological suppression in 36 healthy premenopausal women — completely different intervention.

Major attribution errors:

  • Nillni 2016 (POMC-processing page) — wiki described it as POMC/SIRT1 paper; paper is actually about CRH processing in PVN (PVN and arcuate are anatomically distinct).
  • Yan 2007 vs Enns 2010 (cAMP-signaling) — AC5-KO ~30% lifespan extension was attributed to Enns 2010; that paper is about PKA RIIβ-KO/Cβ-KO. AC5-KO data is from Yan 2007.
  • Latina 2017 (neurotrophin-signaling) — TrkA decline in human MCI/AD was attributed to this in vitro rat study; actual claim belongs to Counts & Mufson 2005.
  • Jang 2010 (TrkB pathway) — aging-rodent memory rescue misattributed; paper has no aging arm. Correctly attributed to Zeng 2012.
  • Webber 2024 GDF-15 PMID/DOI — already documented; same pattern.

Receptor-ligand mis-assignments:

  • GPR32 (SPM pathway) — wiki said GPR32 binds RvD2; actual GPR32/DRV1 mediates RvD1, AT-RvD1, RvD3, RvD5. RvD2 is the GPR18/DRV2 ligand, not GPR32.
  • MC5R ligand affinity (MC5R) — wiki had ACTH > β-MSH; actual order is α-MSH > ACTH = β-MSH >> γ-MSH (ACTH and β-MSH equal-affinity).
  • MC3R γ-MSH affinity — “Highest” → “High (comparable to α-MSH)”; Ki values overlap.

Fabricated phosphorylation sites:

  • NEFL (carryover; documented in prior round) — already corrected.
  • c-MET Ser985 — not in UniProt features; replaced with correct Tyr1003 (Cbl docking, eliminated by METex14).
  • VEGFR2 Tyr1054 — Zeng 2001 actually showed Y1054F = null effect; only Tyr1059 functionally essential.
  • eNOS Tyr657 nitrosylation — unsourced from cited paper; removed.

Critical gene/Ensembl ID errors:

  • MC5R Ensembl ID — ENSG00000198822 → ENSG00000176136 (old ID resolved to GRM3 — completely different gene, glutamate receptor). Most consequential canonical-DB-ID error of the round.

Mechanism overclaims hidden:

  • Tocilizumab Cupido 2022 pneumonia signal MISSING — IL6R instrument associates with INCREASED pneumonia risk (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.09-1.27) — major safety-relevant finding for aging-indication framing.
  • Sosne 2015a (carryover; TMSB4X) — Phase 2 RCT failed both co-primary endpoints; documented in prior-round verifier.
  • Setmelanotide Collet 2017 — described as “case series”; actually Phase 1b randomised double-blind RCT.
  • Bonner 2013 (VEGFR2) — wiki had only ~60% capillary loss; cardiac was ~50%, skeletal ~60% — different magnitudes.
  • Wang 2014 SPM-receptor expression in AD (FPR2; carryover from prior round) — already documented.

Wrong species / strains / mouse models:

  • Howard 1996 (GHSR; carryover) — already documented.
  • Wang 2021 (cAMP-signaling) — strain C57BL/6 → CD1/ICR.
  • Koike 2025 (HGF + c-MET) — strain C57BL/6 → C57BL/6J male only.
  • Jang 2010 (TrkB) — “rat/mouse” → mouse only.
  • Joshi 1995 (POMC-processing) — ages 3/12 mo → 4-5/12-13 mo.

Mechanism overclaims corrected:

  • Eclipse of Ser1177 phosphorylation as Akt-only (eNOS) — multiple kinases now correctly attributed.
  • Fontana 2010 CR/HOMA-IR (carryover) — already documented.
  • Kovacs 2010 fibroblast cytokines (melanogenesis) — wiki said “bFGF”; actual SCF/HGF/KGF; “senescent” → “photoaged”.
  • Nishimura 2005 McSC depletion (melanogenesis) — wiki listed 3 mechanisms; paper shows only 2 (ectopic differentiation + BCL2 apoptosis); “DNA damage” + “Notch” removed as unsupported.
  • Niroula 2021 L-CHIP↔CAD null finding (carryover from prior round) — already documented.

Cross-page propagation passes

  • interventions/lifestyle/exercise.md (carryover) — Erickson 2011 framing already corrected in prior round.
  • molecules/compounds/mots-c.md (carryover) — Zempo 2021 kinesio-genomic p-value already corrected in prior round.

This round’s corrections were all caught at verification time on the newly-seeded pages; no carryover propagation surfaced because the pages are new.

Schema gaps surfaced

Carrying forward from prior rounds + new:

  • type: biomarker modality: enum still needs glycomic (GlycanAge precedent in this round) and somatic-genetic (CHIP precedent from prior round).
  • type: biomarker mendelian-randomization: enum still needs receptor-axis vs direct-protein-pQTL distinction.
  • clinical-stage enum still needs abandoned-phase-1 value (Melanotan II precedent from prior round).
  • GlycanAge filename convention question: glycanage-2017.md (commercial) vs glycanage-2014.md (Kristic foundational) — flagged for user.

Forward queue surfaced — next-round seeding

Implicit stubs from this round (lower priority; many are downstream sub-pathway pages):

Protein/receptor pages:

  • [[ngf]], [[ntrk1]], [[ntrk2]], [[ntrk3]], [[ngfr]] (neurotrophin signaling)
