Buijsers B, Maciej-Hulme M, Jacobs M, Bebber MB, de Graaf M, Salmenov R, Parr N, Rabelink TJ, Nijenhuis T, van der Vlag J
Background: The glomerular endothelial glycocalyx is degraded during inflammation. The glycocalyx plays a pivotal role in endothelial function and is involved in many processes including binding of chemokines and cytokines, leukocyte trafficking, and preventing proteinuria. HS-based therapeutics are a promising novel class of anti-inflammatory drugs to restore a compromised endothelial glycocalyx under inflammatory conditions. Recently, we demonstrated that treatment with HS extracted from unsti...

An unusual case of unilateral vascular hypoplasia in an adult patient - late diagnosis of PHACE syndrome.
Regeer MV, Stöger JL, Bökenkamp R, Lakeman IMM, Hazekamp MG, Kiѐs P, Egorova AD, Jongbloed MRM
A case of unilateral vascular hypoplasia is presented. A female patient was born with a complex aortic arch anatomy - a double aortic arch with an interrupted left arch. Surgical correction was performed at the age of 3 months. The patient was also noted to have had an ipsilateral large infantile haemangioma. These findings raised the suspicion of the diagnosis of PHACE syndrome. PHACE syndrome is an acronym for Posterior fossa abnormalities, Haemangioma, Arterial anomalies, Cardiac anomalies an...

Single-cell analysis of human fetal epicardium reveals its cellular composition and identifies CRIP1 as a modulator of EMT.
Streef TJ, Groeneveld EJ, van Herwaarden T, Hjortnaes J, Goumans MJ, Smits AM
The epicardium plays an essential role in cardiogenesis by providing cardiac cell types and paracrine cues to the developing myocardium. The human adult epicardium is quiescent, but recapitulation of developmental features may contribute to adult cardiac repair. The cell fate of epicardial cells is proposed to be determined by the developmental persistence of specific subpopulations. Reports on this epicardial heterogeneity have been inconsistent, and data regarding the human developing epicardi...

Cyclic strain has antifibrotic effects on the human cardiac fibroblast transcriptome in a human cardiac fibrosis-on-a-chip platform.
Bracco Gartner TCL, Wang Y, Leiteris L, van Adrichem I, Marsman J, Goumans MJ, Bouten CVC, Sluijter JPG, den Toonder JMJ, Suyker WJL, Hjortnaes J
In cardiac fibrosis, in response to stress or injury, cardiac fibroblasts deposit excessive amounts of collagens which contribute to the development of heart failure. The biochemical stimuli in this process have been extensively studied, but the influence of cyclic deformation on the fibrogenic behavior of cardiac fibroblasts in the ever-beating heart is not fully understood. In fact, most investigated mechanotransduction pathways in cardiac fibroblasts seem to ultimately have profibrotic effect...

Building a Scaffold for Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation: Unravelling the Role of the Extracellular Matrix.
Laboyrie SL, de Vries MR, Bijkerk R, Rotmans JI
Vascular access is the lifeline for patients receiving haemodialysis as kidney replacement therapy. As a surgically created arteriovenous fistula (AVF) provides a high-flow conduit suitable for cannulation, it remains the vascular access of choice. In order to use an AVF successfully, the luminal diameter and the vessel wall of the venous outflow tract have to increase. This process is referred to as AVF maturation. AVF non-maturation is an important limitation of AVFs that contributes to their...

Intrinsic histological and morphological abnormalities of the pediatric thoracic aorta in bicuspid aortic valve patients are predictive for future aortopathy.
Grewal N, Klautz RJM, Poelmann RE
Background: Patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) have an increased risk to develop aortic complications. Many studies are pointing towards a possible embryonic explanation for the development of both a bicuspid aortic valve as well as a defective ascending aortic wall in these patients. The fetal and newborn ascending aortic wall has however scarcely been studied in bicuspid aortic valve patients. We hypothesize that early histopathological defects might already be visible in the fetal an...
