Montero-Cabezas JM, Abou R, Chimed S, Fortuni F, Goedemans L, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Background: Adverse left atrial (LA) remodeling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has been associated with poor prognosis. Flow impairment in the dominant coronary atrial branch (CAB) may affect large areas of LA myocardium, potentially leading to adverse LA remodeling during follow-up. The aim of this study was to assess echocardiographic LA remodeling in patients with STEMI with impaired coronary flow in the dominant CAB. Methods: Of 897 patients with STEMI, 69 patients...

Managing Hospital Capacity: Achievements and Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic.
de Koning ER, Boogers MJ, Beeres SL, Kramer ID, Dannenberg WJ, Schalij MJ
Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic challenged health care systems in an unprecedented way. Due to the enormous amount of hospital ward and intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, regular care came to a standstill, thereby overcrowding ICUs and endangering (regular and COVID-19-related) critical care. Acute care coordination centers were set up to safely manage the influx of COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, treatments requiring ICU surveillance were postponed leading to i...

A novel monoclonal IgG1 antibody specific for Galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose questions alpha-Gal epitope expression by bacteria.
Kreft L, Schepers A, Hils M, Swiontek K, Flatley A, Janowski R, Mirzaei MK, Dittmar M, Chakrapani N, Desai MS, Eyerich S, Deng L, Niessing D, Fischer K, Feederle R, Blank S, Schmidt-Weber CB, Hilger C, Biedermann T, Ohnmacht C
The alpha-Gal epitope (α-Gal) with the determining element galactose-α1,3-galactose can lead to clinically relevant allergic reactions and rejections in xenotransplantation. These immune reactions can develop because humans are devoid of this carbohydrate due to evolutionary loss of the enzyme α1,3-galactosyltransferase (GGTA1). In addition, up to 1% of human IgG antibodies are directed against α-Gal, but the stimulus for the induction of anti-α-Gal antibodies is still unclear. Commensal bacteri...

von Willebrand Factor: A Central Regulator of Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation Through Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Outward Remodeling.
Laboyrie SL, de Vries MR, de Jong A, de Boer HC, Lalai RA, Martinez L, Vazquez-Padron RI, Rotmans JI
Background Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation failure is a main limitation of vascular access. Maturation is determined by the intricate balance between outward remodeling and intimal hyperplasia, whereby endothelial cell dysfunction, platelet aggregation, and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation play a crucial role. von Willebrand Factor (vWF) is an endothelial cell-derived protein involved in platelet aggregation and VSMC proliferation. We investigated AVF vascular remodeling i...

Delineating the origins and properties of antibodies elicited by SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination is critical for understanding their benefits and potential shortcomings. Therefore, we investigate the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S)-reactive B cell repertoire in unexposed individuals by flow cytometry and single-cell sequencing. We show that ∼82% of SARS-CoV-2 S-reactive B cells harbor a naive phenotype, which represents an unusually high fraction of total human naive B cells (∼0.1%). Approximately 10%...

Identification of IOMA-class neutralizing antibodies targeting the CD4-binding site on the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein.
van Schooten J, Farokhi E, Schorcht A, van den Kerkhof TLGM, Gao H, van der Woude P, Burger JA, Meesters TGR, Bijl T, Ghalaiyini R, Turner HL, Dorning J, van Schaik BDC, van Kampen AHC, Labranche CC, Stanfield RL, Sok D, Montefiori DC, Burton DR, Seaman MS, Ozorowski G, Wilson IA, Sanders RW, Ward AB, van Gils MJ
A major goal of current HIV-1 vaccine design efforts is to induce broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs). The VH1-2-derived bNAb IOMA directed to the CD4-binding site of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein is of interest because, unlike the better-known VH1-2-derived VRC01-class bNAbs, it does not require a rare short light chain complementarity-determining region 3 (CDRL3). Here, we describe three IOMA-class NAbs, ACS101-103, with up to 37% breadth, that share many characteristics with IOMA, inclu...

Assessing the therapeutic response of tumors to hypoxia-targeted prodrugs with an in silico approach.
Yilmaz D, Tuzer M, Unlu MB
Tumor hypoxia is commonly recognized as a condition stimulating the progress of the aggressive phenotype of tumor cells. Hypoxic tumor cells inhibit the delivery of cytotoxic drugs, causing hypoxic areas to receive insufficient amounts of anticancer agents, which results in adverse treatment responses. Being such an obstruction to conventional therapies for cancer, hypoxia might be considered a target to facilitate the efficacy of treatments in the resistive environment of tumor sites. In this r...
