Loss of Endothelial Glycocalyx Hyaluronan Impairs Endothelial Stability and Adaptive Vascular Remodeling After Arterial Ischemia.
Wang G, de Vries MR, Sol WMPJ, van Oeveren-Rietdijk AM, de Boer HC, van Zonneveld AJ, Quax PHA, Rabelink TJ, van den Berg BM
We recently reported that loss of hyaluronan (HA) from the endothelial glycocalyx leads to loss of vessel stability in specific microcirculatory vascular beds. Here we hypothesized that such derangements in the glycocalyx may also impair the adaptive response to vascular ischemia. Endothelial specific conditional hyaluronan synthase 2-KO (Has2-cKO) mice revealed reduced endothelial HA expression and lower hindlimb perfusion at baseline compared to control mice. After a single ligation of the com...

Agema BC, Koolen SLW, With M, Doorn NV, Heersche N, Hoop EO, Visser S, Aerts JGJV, Bins S, Schaik RHNV, Mathijssen RHJ
Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used for multiple indications. Unfortunately, in a substantial set of patients treated with cisplatin, dose-limiting acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs. Here, we assessed the association of 3 catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with increased cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. In total, 551 patients were genotyped for the 1947 G>A (Val158Met, rs4680), c.615 + 310 C>T (rs4646316), and c.616 - 367 C>T (rs9332...

Predictors of (Un)successful Same-Day Discharge in Selected Patients Following Outpatient Hip and Knee Arthroplasty.
Keulen MHF, Asselberghs S, Boonen B, Hendrickx RPM, van Haaren EH, Schotanus MGM
Background: It is generally accepted that only selected patients are suitable for outpatient joint arthroplasty (OJA); however, no consensus exists on the optimal selection criteria. We believe patients undergoing OJA should undergo risk stratification and mitigation in an attempt to optimize quality and minimize costs. Methods: Patient factors of 525 patients who were selected to have primary elective unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (N = 158), total knee arthroplasty (N = 277), or total hip...

How to maintain the genome in nuclear space.
Mitrentsi I, Yilmaz D, Soutoglou E
Genomic instability can be life-threatening. The fine balance between error-free and mutagenic DNA repair pathways is essential for maintaining genome integrity. Recent advances in DNA double-strand break induction and detection techniques have allowed the investigation of DNA damage and repair in the context of the highly complex nuclear structure. These studies have revealed that the 3D genome folding, nuclear compartmentalization and cytoskeletal components control the spatial distribution of...

Therapeutic Antibody Against Phosphorylcholine Preserves Coronary Function and Attenuates Vascular <sup>18</sup>F-FDG Uptake in Atherosclerotic Mice.
Ståhle M, Silvola JMU, Hellberg S, de Vries M, Quax PHA, Kroon J, Rinne P, de Jong A, Liljenbäck H, Savisto N, Wickman A, Stroes ESG, Ylä-Herttuala S, Saukko P, Abrahamsson T, Pettersson K, Knuuti J, Roivainen A, Saraste A
This study showed that treatment with a therapeutic monoclonal immunoglobulin-G1 antibody against phosphorylcholine on oxidized phospholipids preserves coronary flow reserve and attenuates atherosclerotic inflammation as determined by the uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose in atherosclerotic mice. The noninvasive imaging techniques represent translational tools to assess the efficacy of phosphorylcholine-targeted therapy on coronary artery function and atherosclerosis in clinical studies.

Major p53 immunohistochemical patterns in in situ and invasive squamous cell carcinomas of the vulva and correlation with TP53 mutation status.
Tessier-Cloutier B, Kortekaas KE, Thompson E, Pors J, Chen J, Ho J, Prentice LM, McConechy MK, Chow C, Proctor L, McAlpine JN, Huntsman DG, Gilks CB, Bosse T, Hoang LN
The recent literature has shown that vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (VSCC) can be stratified into two prognostically relevant groups based on human papillomavirus (HPV) status. The prognostic value of p53 for further sub-stratification, particularly in the HPV-independent group, has not been agreed upon. This disagreement is likely due to tremendous variations in p53 immunohistochemical (IHC) interpretation. To address this problem, we sought to compare p53 IHC patterns with TP53 mutation status...

Must all signals be evolved? A proposal for a new classification of communicative acts.
Fröhlich M, van Schaik CP
While signals in evolutionary biology are usually defined as "acts or traits that have evolved because of their effect on others", work on gestures and vocalizations in various animal taxa have revealed population- or even individual-specific meanings of social signals. These results strongly suggest that communicative acts that are like signals with regard to both form and function (meaning) can also be acquired ontogenetically, and we discuss direct evidence for such plasticity in ca...

Local Mast Cell Activation Promotes Neovascularization.
Bot I, Velden DV, Bouwman M, Kröner MJ, Kuiper J, Quax PHA, de Vries MR
Mast cells have been associated with arteriogenesis and collateral formation. In advanced human atherosclerotic plaques, mast cells have been shown to colocalize with plaque neovessels, and mast cells have also been associated with tumor vascularization. Based on these associations, we hypothesize that mast cells promote angiogenesis during ischemia. In human ischemic muscle tissue from patients with end-stage peripheral artery disease, we observed activated mast cells, predominantly located aro...

Nonclonal Emergence of Colistin Resistance Associated with Mutations in the BasRS Two-Component System in Escherichia coli Bloodstream Isolates.
Janssen AB, Bartholomew TL, Marciszewska NP, Bonten MJM, Willems RJL, Bengoechea JA, van Schaik W
Infections by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria are increasingly common, prompting the renewed interest in the use of colistin. Colistin specifically targets Gram-negative bacteria by interacting with the anionic lipid A moieties of lipopolysaccharides, leading to membrane destabilization and cell death. Here, we aimed to uncover the mechanisms of colistin resistance in nine colistin-resistant Escherichia coli strains and one Escherichia albertii strain. These were the only colistin-res...
