Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, Volume 11, Issue 3, 5 1 2024, Pages 86 Atypical Progeria Primarily Manifesting as Premature Cardiac Valvular Disease Segregates with <i>LMNA</i>-Gene Variants. Wu HW, Van de Peppel IP, Rutten JW, Jukema JW, Aten E, Jazet IM, Koopmann TT, Barge-Schaapveld DQCM, Ajmone Marsan N
Mutations in the LMNA-gene can cause a variety of 'laminopathies'. These laminopathies are associated with a range of phenotypes, including disorders affecting the adipose tissue, peripheral nerves, the heart, such as dilated cardiomyopathy and conduction system abnormalities, and less commonly, progeroid disorders. This case series describes two families in which two novel LMNA-gene variants were identified, and who presented with an atypical progeroid phenotype with primarily prematu... Abstract

Journal of translational medicine, Volume 22, Issue 1, 3 1 2024, Pages 234 CRISPR/Cas9-edited ROS1 + non-small cell lung cancer cell lines highlight differential drug sensitivity in 2D vs 3D cultures while reflecting established resistance profiles. Terrones M, Deben C, Rodrigues-Fortes F, Schepers A, de Beeck KO, Van Camp G, Vandeweyer G
Introduction: The study of resistance-causing mutations in oncogene-driven tumors is fundamental to guide clinical decisions. Several point mutations affecting the ROS1 kinase domain have been identified in the clinical setting, but their impact requires further exploration, particularly in improved pre-clinical models. Given the scarcity of solid pre-clinical models to approach rare cancer subtypes like ROS1 + NSCLC, CRISPR/Cas9 technology allows the introduction of mutations in patient-derived... Abstract

Journal of vascular surgery, Volume 80, Issue 1, 1 1 2024, Pages 232-239 Intraoperative transit time flow measurement predicts maturation of radiocephalic arteriovenous fistulas. de Winter EP, Wilschut D, Plasmans K, Eefting D, van der Steenhoven T, Putter H, Rotmans J, van der Bogt K
Objective: The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the first choice for gaining vascular access for hemodialysis. However, 20% to 50% of AVFs fail within 4 months after creation. Although demographic risk factors have been described, there is little evidence on the intraoperative predictors of AVF maturation failure. The aim of this study was to assess the predictive value of intraoperative transit time flow measurements (TTFMs) on AVF maturation failure. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study,... Abstract

Cardiovascular research, Volume 120, Issue 3, 1 1 2024, Pages 249-261 'Trapped re-entry' as source of acute focal atrial arrhythmias. De Coster T, Teplenin AS, Feola I, Bart CI, Ramkisoensing AA, den Ouden BL, Ypey DL, Trines SA, Panfilov AV, Zeppenfeld K, de Vries AAF, Pijnappels DA
Aims: Diseased atria are characterized by functional and structural heterogeneities, adding to abnormal impulse generation and propagation. These heterogeneities are thought to lie at the origin of fractionated electrograms recorded during sinus rhythm (SR) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients and are assumed to be involved in the onset and perpetuation (e.g. by re-entry) of this disorder. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain incompletely understood. Here, we tested whether regions of dens... Abstract

Electrical storm (ES) is a state of electrical instability, manifesting as recurrent ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) over a short period of time (three or more episodes of sustained VA within 24 h, separated by at least 5 min, requiring termination by an intervention). The clinical presentation can vary, but ES is usually a cardiac emergency. Electrical storm mainly affects patients with structural or primary electrical heart disease, often with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Man... Abstract

European journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery, Volume 65, Issue 3, 1 1 2024, Pages ezae087 How microsimulation translates outcome estimates to patient lifetime event occurrence in the setting of heart valve disease. Notenboom ML, Rhellab R, Etnel JRG, Huygens SA, Hjortnaes J, Kluin J, Takkenberg JJM, Veen KM
Treatment decisions in healthcare often carry lifelong consequences that can be challenging to foresee. As such, tools that visualize and estimate outcome after different lifetime treatment strategies are lacking and urgently needed to support clinical decision-making in the setting of rapidly evolving healthcare systems, with increasingly numerous potential treatments. In this regard, microsimulation models may prove to be valuable additions to current risk-prediction models. Notable advantages... Abstract

Cell reports. Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 3, 1 1 2024, Pages 101471 Targeting of vulnerabilities of drug-tolerant persisters identified through functional genetics delays tumor relapse. Chen M, Mainardi S, Lieftink C, Velds A, de Rink I, Yang C, Kuiken HJ, Morris B, Edwards F, Jochems F, van Tellingen O, Boeije M, Proost N, Jansen RA, Qin S, Jin H, Koen van der Mijn JC, Schepers A, Venkatesan S, Qin W, Beijersbergen RL, Wang L, Bernards R
Drug-tolerant persisters (DTPs) are a rare subpopulation of cells within a tumor that can survive therapy through nongenetic adaptive mechanisms to develop relapse and repopulate the tumor following drug withdrawal. Using a cancer cell line with an engineered suicide switch to kill proliferating cells, we perform both genetic screens and compound screens to identify the inhibition of bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins as a selective vulnerability of DTPs. BET inhibitors are espe... Abstract
Clinical genetics, Volume 106, Issue 1, 29 5 2024, Pages 37-46 Reduced kinase function in two ultra-rare TNNI3K variants in families with congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia. Pham C, Koopmann TT, Vinocur JM, Blom NA, Nogueira Silbiger V, Mittal K, Bootsma M, Palm KCA, Clur SB, Barge-Schaapveld DQCM, Hamilton RM, Lodder EM
Genetic missense variants in TNNI3K, encoding troponin-I interacting kinase, have been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and observed in families with supraventricular tachycardias (SVT). Previously, a family harboring the TNNI3K-c.1615A > G (p.Thr539Ala) variant presented with congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia (CJET), an arrhythmia that arises from the atrioventricular (AV) node and His bundle. However, this was a relatively small four-generational family with limited gene... Abstract

In calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), mechanosensitive valvular cells respond to fibrosis- and calcification-induced tissue stiffening, further driving pathophysiology. No pharmacotherapeutics are available to treat CAVD because of the paucity of (i) appropriate experimental models that recapitulate this complex environment and (ii) benchmarking novel engineered aortic valve (AV)-model performance. We established a biomaterial-based CAVD model mimicking the biomechanics of the human AV diseas... Abstract

Cardiac emergencies in women, such as acute coronary syndromes, acute heart failure, and cardiac arrest, are associated with a high risk of adverse outcomes and mortality. Although women historically have been significantly underrepresented in clinical studies of these diseases, the guideline-recommended treatment for these emergencies is generally the same for both sexes. Still, women are less likely to receive evidence-based treatment compared to men. Furthermore, specific diseases affecting p... Abstract

Chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection (trimodality therapy) is a guideline recommended treatment for sulcus superior tumors (SST). By definition, SSTs invade the chest wall and therefore require en-bloc chest wall resection with the upper lung lobe or segments. The addition of a chest wall resection, potentially results in higher morbidity and mortality rates when compared to standard anatomical pulmonary resection. This, together with their anatomical location in the thoracic outlet,... Abstract
