Liver X receptors are required for thymic resilience and T cell output.
Chan CT, Fenn AM, Harder NK, Mindur JE, McAlpine CS, Patel J, Valet C, Rattik S, Iwamoto Y, He S, Anzai A, Kahles F, Poller WC, Janssen H, Wong LP, Fernandez-Hernando C, Koolbergen DR, van der Laan AM, Yvan-Charvet L, Sadreyev RI, Nahrendorf M, Westerterp M, Tall AR, Gustafsson JA, Swirski FK
The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ necessary for optimal T cell development. Here, we show that liver X receptors (LXRs)-a class of nuclear receptors and transcription factors with diverse functions in metabolism and immunity-critically contribute to thymic integrity and function. LXRαβ-deficient mice develop a fatty, rapidly involuting thymus and acquire a shrunken and prematurely immunoinhibitory peripheral T cell repertoire. LXRαβ's functions are cell specific, and the resulting phen...

bFGF blockade reduces intraplaque angiogenesis and macrophage infiltration in atherosclerotic vein graft lesions in ApoE3*Leiden mice.
Parma L, Peters HAB, Sluiter TJ, Simons KH, Lazzari P, de Vries MR, Quax PHA
Intraplaque angiogenesis increases the chance of unstable atherosclerotic plaque rupture and thrombus formation leading to myocardial infarction. Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF) plays a key role in angiogenesis and inflammation and is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Therefore, we aim to test K5, a small molecule bFGF-inhibitor, on remodelling of accelerated atherosclerotic vein grafts lesions in ApoE3*Leiden mice. K5-mediated bFGF-signalling blockade strongly decreased int...

Giant true hepatic aneurysm mimicking Mirizzi syndrome.
Corion CLS, Vriens PWHE, Alwayn IPJ, Hamming JF, van Schaik J
Giant true aneurysms of the hepatic arteries are rare. Pseudoaneurysms of the hepatic arteries are more common and are mostly caused by intra-abdominal infection, iatrogenic injury, or trauma. Hepatic or cystic pseudoaneurysms are often successfully treated by embolization owing to their saccular nature as opposed to true aneurysms. We present a case of a patient with a giant true aneurysm of the proper hepatic artery, mimicking Mirizzi syndrome. Open reconstruction was successfully preformed, a...

Integrative Multi-Omics Analysis in Calcific Aortic Valve Disease Reveals a Link to the Formation of Amyloid-Like Deposits.
Heuschkel MA, Skenteris NT, Hutcheson JD, van der Valk DD, Bremer J, Goody P, Hjortnaes J, Jansen F, Bouten CVC, van den Bogaerdt A, Matic L, Marx N, Goettsch C
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in the developed world, yet no pharmacological therapy exists. Here, we hypothesize that the integration of multiple omic data represents an approach towards unveiling novel molecular networks in CAVD. Databases were searched for CAVD omic studies. Differentially expressed molecules from calcified and control samples were retrieved, identifying 32 micro RNAs (miRNA), 596 mRNAs and 80 proteins. Over-representation p...

Straightforward preparation of supramolecular Janus nanorods by hydrogen bonding of end-functionalized polymers.
Han S, Pensec S, Yilmaz D, Lorthioir C, Jestin J, Guigner JM, Niepceron F, Rieger J, Stoffelbach F, Nicol E, Colombani O, Bouteiller L
Janus cylinders are one-dimensional colloids that have two faces with different compositions and functionalities, and are useful as building blocks for advanced functional materials. Such anisotropic objects are difficult to prepare with nanometric dimensions. Here we describe a robust and versatile strategy to form micrometer long Janus nanorods with diameters in the 10-nanometer range, by self-assembly in water of end-functionalized polymers. The Janus topology is not a result of the phase seg...

Prognostic Implications of Increased Right Ventricular Wall Tension in Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Fortuni F, Dietz MF, Butcher SC, Prihadi EA, van der Bijl P, Ajmone Marsan N, Delgado V, Bax JJ
Secondary tricuspid regurgitation (TR) imposes a chronic volume overload on the right ventricle (RV) which can increase RV wall tension (RVWT). The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic implications of increased RVWT in patients with significant secondary TR. A total of 1,142 patients with moderate-to-severe secondary TR were included. Based on the simplified Laplace-Young's law, RVWT was defined as the product between pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and RV base-to-a...
