Methionine sulfoxide reductase B1 (MsrB1) recovers TRPM6 channel activity during oxidative stress.
Cao G, Lee KP, van der Wijst J, de Graaf M, van der Kemp A, Bindels RJ, Hoenderop JG
Mg(2+) is an essential ion for many cellular processes, including protein synthesis, nucleic acid stability, and numerous enzymatic reactions. Mg(2+) homeostasis in mammals depends on the equilibrium between intestinal absorption, renal excretion, and exchange with bone. The transient receptor potential melastatin type 6 (TRPM6) is an epithelial Mg(2+) channel, which is abundantly expressed in the luminal membrane of the renal and intestinal cells. It functions as the gatekeeper of transepitheli...

A novel urokinase receptor-targeted inhibitor for plasmin and matrix metalloproteinases suppresses vein graft disease.
Eefting D, Seghers L, Grimbergen JM, de Vries MR, de Boer HC, Lardenoye JW, Jukema JW, van Bockel JH, Quax PH
Aims: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and plasminogen activator (PA)/plasmin-mediated proteolysis, especially at the cell surface, play important roles in matrix degeneration and smooth muscle cell migration, which largely contributes to vein graft failure. In this study, a novel hybrid protein was designed to inhibit both protease systems simultaneously. MMP and plasmin activity were inhibited at the cell surface by this hybrid protein, consisting of the receptor-binding amino-terminal fragment...

Coronary artery calcium scoring in cardiovascular risk assessment.
Nucifora G, Bax JJ, van Werkhoven JM, Boogers MJ, Schuijf JD
Identification of patients at risk of future coronary artery disease (CAD) events traditionally relies on scoring tools that take demographic and clinical characteristics into account (e.g., the Framingham risk score in the United States and the Heart Score in Europe). Although these scoring tools have been shown to have a good predictive value, they may still fail to recognize a proportion of patients with coronary atherosclerosis at risk for future CAD events. In order to improve risk stratifi...

Predictive value of total atrial conduction time estimated with tissue Doppler imaging for the development of new-onset atrial fibrillation after acute myocardial infarction.
Antoni ML, Bertini M, Atary JZ, Delgado V, ten Brinke EA, Boersma E, Holman ER, van der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Bax JJ, van de Veire NR
Patients who develop new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) show an increased risk for adverse events and mortality during follow-up. Recently, a novel noninvasive echocardiographic method has been validated for the estimation of total atrial activation time using tissue Doppler imaging of the atria (PA-TDI duration). PA-TDI duration has shown to be independently predictive of new-onset AF. However, whether PA-TDI duration provides predictive value for new-ons...

TLR2 and TLR4 in ischemia reperfusion injury.
Arslan F, Keogh B, McGuirk P, Parker AE
Ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury refers to the tissue damage which occurs when blood supply returns to tissue after a period of ischemia and is associated with trauma, stroke, myocardial infarction, and solid organ transplantation. Although the cause of this injury is multifactorial, increasing experimental evidence suggests an important role for the innate immune system in initiating the inflammatory cascade leading to detrimental/deleterious changes. The Toll-like Receptors (TLRs) play a cent...

Developmental dysplasia of the hip: open reduction as a risk factor for substantial osteonecrosis.
Firth GB, Robertson AJ, Schepers A, Fatti L
Background: Kalamchi and MacEwen (K&M) described a four-group scheme for classifying osteonecrosis (ON) following treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). However, the four groups can overlap in radiographic appearance, making assessment difficult. Questions/purposes: We (1) describe a simplified K&M classification; (2) determined whether the simplified classification was reliable; and (3) assessed whether differences in the type of reduction or age at reduction resulted i...

Rapid and sensitive lentivirus vector-based conditional gene expression assay to monitor and quantify cell fusion activity.
Gonçalves MA, Janssen JM, Holkers M, de Vries AA
Cell-to-cell fusion is involved in multiple fundamental biological processes. Prominent examples include osteoclast and giant cell formation, fertilization and skeletal myogenesis which involve macrophage, sperm-egg and myoblast fusion, respectively. Indeed, the importance of cell fusion is underscored by the wide range of homeostatic as well as pathologic processes in which it plays a key role. Therefore, rapid and sensitive systems to trace and measure cell fusion events in various experimenta...

Statins and all-cause mortality in high-risk primary prevention: a meta-analysis of 11 randomized controlled trials involving 65,229 participants.
Ray KK, Seshasai SR, Erqou S, Sever P, Jukema JW, Ford I, Sattar N
Background: Statins have been shown to reduce the risk of all-cause mortality among individuals with clinical history of coronary heart disease. However, it remains uncertain whether statins have similar mortality benefit in a high-risk primary prevention setting. Notably, all systematic reviews to date included trials that in part incorporated participants with prior cardiovascular disease (CVD) at baseline. Our objective was to reliably determine if statin therapy reduces all-cause mortality a...
