Tuning intermediate filament mechanics by variation of pH and ion charges.
Schepers AV, Lorenz C, Köster S
The cytoskeleton is formed by three types of filamentous proteins - microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments (IFs) - and enables cells to withstand external and internal forces. Vimentin is the most abundant IF protein in humans and assembles into 10 nm diameter filaments with remarkable mechanical properties, such as high extensibility and stability. It is, however, unclear to which extent these properties are influenced by the electrostatic environment. Here, we study the mech...

Bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV) Induces Angiogenesis via Phosphorylation of VEGFR2.
Parma L, Peters HAB, Johansson ME, Gutiérrez S, Meijerink H, de Kimpe S, de Vries MR, Quax PHA
VEGFR2 and VEGF-A play a pivotal role in the process of angiogenesis. VEGFR2 activation is regulated by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), enzymes that dephosphorylate the receptor and reduce angiogenesis. We aim to study the effect of PTPs blockade using bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV) (BMOV) on in vivo wound healing and in vitro angiogenesis. BMOV significantly improves in vivo wound closure by 45% in C57BL/6JRj mice. We found that upon VEGFR2 phosphorylation induced by endogenously produced...

Rationale and design of a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter heart valve replacement in female patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis requiring aortic valve intervention (Randomized researcH in womEn all comers wIth Aortic stenosis [RHEIA] trial).
Eltchaninoff H, Bonaros N, Prendergast B, Nietlispach F, Vasa-Nicotera M, Chieffo A, Pibarot P, Bramlage P, Sykorova L, Kurucova J, Bax JJ, Windecker S, Dumonteil N, Tchetche D
Background: Limited data suggest that transcatheter (TAVR) as compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) may be more effective in female than male patients. To date, most evidence is derived from subgroup analyses of large trials, and a dedicated randomized trial evaluating whether there is a difference in outcomes between these interventions in women is warranted. The RHEIA trial will compare the safety and efficacy of TAVR with SAVR in women with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis...

Sex differences in bicuspid aortic valve disease.
Kong WKF, Bax JJ, Michelena HI, Delgado V
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), the most frequent congenital heart disease, is characterized by an uneven distribution between sexes. BAV is three to four times more frequent in men than in women which could be associated with a reduced dosage of X chromosome genes. In addition, BAV has a multifactorial inheritance, low penetrance and variable phenotypes that may lead to different form of valve degeneration and dysfunction over time as well as different incidence of aortic valve and vascular compli...

COPD and acute myocardial infarction.
Goedemans L, Bax JJ, Delgado V
COPD is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease, in particular acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Besides shared risk factors, COPD-related factors, such as systemic inflammation and hypoxia, underlie the pathophysiological interaction between COPD and AMI. The prevalence of COPD amongst AMI populations ranges from 7% to 30%, which is possibly even an underestimation due to underdiagnoses of COPD in general. Following the acute event, patients with COPD have an increased risk of mortalit...

Novel opportunities for NGS-based one health surveillance of foodborne viruses.
Desdouits M, de Graaf M, Strubbia S, Oude Munnink BB, Kroneman A, Le Guyader FS, Koopmans MPG
Foodborne viral infections rank among the top 5 causes of disease, with noroviruses and hepatitis A causing the greatest burden globally. Contamination of foods by infected food handlers or through environmental pollution are the main sources of foodborne illness, with a lesser role for consumption of products from infected animals. Viral partial genomic sequencing has been used for more than two decades to track foodborne outbreaks and whole genome or metagenomics next-generation-sequencing (NG...

Optical Coherence Tomography: Current Applications for the Assessment of Coronary Artery Disease and Guidance of Percutaneous Coronary Interventions.
Oosterveer TTM, van der Meer SM, Scherptong RWC, Jukema JW
Introduction: Coronary angiography (CAG) is the standard modality for assessment of coronary stenoses and intraprocedural guidance of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). However, the limitations of CAG are well recognized. Intracoronary imaging (ICI) can potentially overcome these limitations. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are the main ICI techniques utilized in clinical practice. Aim: This narrative literature review addresses the current clinical...

The Role of Immunomodulation in Vein Graft Remodeling and Failure.
Baganha F, de Jong A, Jukema JW, Quax PHA, de Vries MR
Obstructive arterial disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. Venous bypass graft surgery is one of the most frequently used revascularization strategies despite its considerable short and long time failure rate. Due to vessel wall remodeling, inflammation, intimal hyperplasia, and accelerated atherosclerosis, vein grafts may (ultimately) fail to revascularize tissues downstream to occlusive atherosclerotic lesions. In the past decades, little has changed in th...

Patients with a Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Are Better Informed in Hospitals with an "EVAR-preferred" Strategy: An Instrumental Variable Analysis of the Dutch Surgical Aneurysm Audit.
Karthaus EG, Lijftogt N, Vahl A, van der Willik EM, Amodio S, van Zwet EW, Hamming JF, Dutch Society for Vascular Surgery, the Steering Committee of the Dutch Surgical Aneurysm Audit and the Dutch Institute for Clinical Auditing
Background: While several observational studies suggested a lower postoperative mortality after minimal invasive endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in patients with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA) compared to conventional open surgical repair (OSR), landmark randomized controlled trials have not been able to prove the superiority of EVAR over OSR. Randomized controlled trials contain a selected, homogeneous population, influencing external validity. Observational studies are biased...

CaMKII activity contributes to homeometric autoregulation of the heart: A novel mechanism for the Anrep effect.
Reil JC, Reil GH, Kovács Á, Sequeira V, Waddingham MT, Lodi M, Herwig M, Ghaderi S, Kreusser MM, Papp Z, Voigt N, Dobrev D, Meyhöfer S, Langer HF, Maier LS, Linz D, Mügge A, Hohl M, Steendijk P, Hamdani N
Key points: The Anrep effect represents the alteration of left ventricular (LV) contractility to acutely enhanced afterload in a few seconds, thereby preserving stroke volume (SV) at constant preload. As a result of the missing preload stretch in our model, the Anrep effect differs from the slow force response and has a different mechanism. The Anrep effect demonstrated two different phases. First, the sudden increased afterload was momentary equilibrated by the enhanced LV contractility as a re...
