Chemokines and atherosclerotic plaque progression: towards therapeutic targeting?
Kraaijeveld AO, de Jager SC, van Berkel TJ, Biessen EA, Jukema JW
Atherosclerosis is currently viewed as an inflammatory disease in which the initiation and progression of the atherosclerotic plaque towards a rupture prone, unstable plaque is driven by leukocyte recruitment mediated by various inflammatory mediators. Recently, interest in chemotactic cytokines or chemokines with regard to atherosclerosis has been growing as chemokines mediate the influx of leukocytes that is typical of atherothrombosis. The activity of the majority of chemokines is overlapping...

Wnt but not BMP signaling is involved in the inhibitory action of sclerostin on BMP-stimulated bone formation.
van Bezooijen RL, Svensson JP, Eefting D, Visser A, van der Horst G, Karperien M, Quax PH, Vrieling H, Papapoulos SE, ten Dijke P, Löwik CW
Unlabelled: Sclerostin is an osteocyte-derived negative regulator of bone formation. It inhibits BMP-stimulated bone formation both in vitro and in vivo but has no direct effect on BMP signaling. Instead, sclerostin inhibits Wnt signaling that is required for BMP-stimulated osteoblastic differentiation. Introduction: Sclerostin is a member of the Dan family of glycoproteins of which many members have been reported to antagonize BMP activity. Sclerostin has been shown to inhibit BMP-stimulated bo...

Validation of a high-resolution, phase contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance sequence for evaluation of flow in coronary artery bypass grafts.
Salm LP, Schuijf JD, Lamb HJ, Bax JJ, Vliegen HW, Jukema JW, van der Wall EE, de Roos A, Doornbos J
The aim was to validate a magnetic resonance high-resolution, phase-contrast sequence for quantifying flow in small and large vessels and to demonstrate its feasibility to measure flow in coronary artery bypass grafts. A breathhold, echo planar imaging (EPI) sequence was developed and validated in a flow phantom using a fast field echo (FFE) sequence as reference. In 17 volunteers aortic flow was measured using both sequences. In 5 patients flow in the left internal mammary artery (LIMA) and aor...

Intramyocardial bone marrow cell transplantation and the progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with chronic myocardial ischemia.
Beeres SL, Bax JJ, Roes SD, Lamb HJ, Fibbe WE, De Roos A, Van Der Wall EE, Schalij MJ, Atsma DE
Background: Cell therapy has been proposed as a novel treatment strategy for patients with ischemic heart disease. However, two recent studies suggested that cardiac cell transplantation might aggravate coronary atherosclerosis. The aim of the current study was to assess whether intramyocardial bone marrow cell transplantation in patients with chronic myocardial ischemia is associated with progression of coronary atherosclerosis. Methods: In 30 patients with chronic ischemia, bone marrow was asp...

Impact of coronary calcium score on diagnostic accuracy of multislice computed tomography coronary angiography for detection of coronary artery disease.
Pundziute G, Schuijf JD, Jukema JW, Lamb HJ, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Background: The impact of the coronary calcium score on the diagnostic accuracy of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) to detect obstructive coronary stenoses remains controversial. Methods and results: We examined 41 patients (mean Agatston score, 340 +/- 530 [range, 0-2546]) with coronary artery disease with 16-slice MSCT and 60 patients (mean Agatston score, 446 +/- 877 [range, 0-6264]) with 64-slice MSCT. MSCT scans were analyzed with invasive coronary angiography (CA) as the standard of r...

Multi-slice computed tomography in the evaluation of patients with acute chest pain.
Schuijf JD, Jukema JW, van der Wall EE, Bax JJ
Every year, a considerable number of patients present at the Emergency Department (ED) with acute chest pain complaints. In these patients, determining accurate diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains clinically challenging. In general, triage is based on the initial clinical assessment including (stress) ECG and serial serum markers measurements. While management is relatively straightforward in case of ECG changes and elevated serum markers, a considerable number of patients present...

Differences in plaque composition and distribution in stable coronary artery disease versus acute coronary syndromes; non-invasive evaluation with multi-slice computed tomography.
Schuijf JD, Beck T, Burgstahler C, Jukema JW, Dirksen MS, de Roos A, van der Wall EE, Schroeder S, Wijns W, Bax JJ
Background: Plaque composition rather than degree of luminal narrowing may be predictive of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The purpose of the study was to compare plaque composition and distribution with multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) between patients presenting with either stable coronary artery disease (CAD) or ACS. Methods: MSCT was performed in 22 and 24 patients presenting with ACS or stable CAD, respectively. Coronary lesions were classified as calcified, non-calcified or mixed wh...

Background: Guideline implementation programs for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) enhance adherence to evidence-based medicine (EBM) and improve clinical outcome. Although undertreatment of patients with AMI is well recognized in both acute and chronic phases of care, most implementation programs focus on acute and secondary prevention strategies during the index hospitalization phase only. Hypothesis: Implementation of an all-phase integrated AMI care program maximizes EBM in da...

Microbubble spectroscopy of ultrasound contrast agents.
van der Meer SM, Dollet B, Voormolen MM, Chin CT, Bouakaz A, de Jong N, Versluis M, Lohse D
A new optical characterization of the behavior of single ultrasound contrast bubbles is presented. The method consists of insonifying individual bubbles several times successively sweeping the applied frequency, and to record movies of the bubble response up to 25 million frames/s with an ultrahigh speed camera operated in a segmented mode. The method, termed microbubble spectroscopy, enables to reconstruct a resonance curve in a single run. The data is analyzed through a linearized model for co...

Activation of the innate immune system in atherosclerotic disease.
Oude Nijhuis MM, van Keulen JK, Pasterkamp G, Quax PH, de Kleijn DP
Innate immunity is the first line of defence against invading micro-organisms. The family of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) that are carried by the invading micro-organisms. Infectious pathogens have been implicated to play an important role in atherosclerosis. Nowadays, evidence is accumulating that TLRs play an important role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis too. A lot is known about the exogenous ligands that are able t...
