Thyroid hormone dysfunction is frequently observed in patients with chronic illnesses including heart failure which increases risk of adverse events. This study examined effects of thyroid hormones (TH) on cardiac T-tubule (TT) integrity, Ca2+ sparks, and nanoscale organization of ion channels in excitation-contraction (EC)-coupling, including L-type calcium channel (Cav 1.2), ryanodine receptor-type 2 (RyR2), and junctophilin-2 (Jph2). TH deficiency was established in adult female rats by propyl-thiouracil (PTU) ingestion for 8 weeks; followed by randomization to continued PTU without or with oral triiodo-L-thyronine (T3; 10 ug/kg/d) for two additional weeks (PTU+T3)...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) caused by chronic pressure overload with subsequent pathological remodeling is a major cardiovascular risk factor for heart failure and mortality. The role of deubiquitinases in LVH has not been well-characterized. To define if the deubiquitinase ubiquitin-specific peptidase 20 (USP20) regulates LVH, we subjected USP20 knockout (KO) and cognate wild type (WT) mice to chronic pressure overload by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) and measured changes in cardiac function by serial echocardiography followed by histological and biochemical evaluations...

INTRODUCTION: Vascular dysfunction, marked by lower endothelial function and increased aortic stiffness, are non-traditional risk factors that precede the development of CVD. However, the age at which these changes in vascular function occur in women and the degree to which reproductive hormones mediate these changes has not been characterized. METHODS: Women free from major disease were enrolled across the adult lifespan (aged 18-70, n=140). Endothelial function was assessed as flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery during reactive hyperemia using duplex ultrasound and expressed as percent dilation...

Heart failure is a major cause of mortality following myocardial infarction. Neutrophils are among the first immune cells to accumulate in the infarcted region. While beneficial functions of neutrophils in heart injury are now appreciated, neutrophils are also well-known for their ability to exacerbate inflammation and promote tissue damage. Myocardial infarction induces hypoxia, where hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are activated and play critical roles in cellular functions. In this context the role of Hif2α in neutrophils during myocardial infarction is unknown...

The Ras-related GTP-binding protein D ( RRAGD ) gene plays a crucial role in cellular processes. Recently, RRAGD variants found in patients have been implicated in a novel disorder with kidney tubulopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy. Currently, the consequences of RRAGD variants at organismal level is unknown. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of RRAGD variants on cardiac function using zebrafish embryo model. Furthermore, the potential usage of rapamycin, an mTOR inhibitor, as a therapy was assessed in this model...

Electric pacing of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CM) has been increasingly used to simulate cardiac arrhythmias in vitro and to enhance cardiomyocyte maturity. However, the impact of electric pacing on cellular electrophysiology and Ca2+ -handling in differentiated hiPSC-CM is less characterized. Here we studied the effects of electric pacing for 24h or 7d at a physiological rate of 60 bpm on cellular electrophysiology and Ca2+ -cycling in late-stage, differentiated hiPSC-CM (>90% troponin+ , >60d post differentiation)...

Lymphatic vessels of the heart undergo dynamic remodeling in response to physiological and pathological cardiovascular events such as development, adult cardiac maintenance and injury repair. During pregnancy, the cardiovascular system undergoes physiological changes to meet the increased demand of blood supply to the fetus. These extensive physiologic changes make pregnancy and delivery a high-risk period in a woman's life. However, whether and how cardiac lymphatics change during pregnancy is largely undefined...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death worldwide, and the number of CVD patients continues to increase despite extensive research and developments in this field. Chronic inflammation is a pivotal pathological component of CVD, and unveiling new proinflammatory factors will help devise novel preventive and therapeutic strategies. The extracellular matrix (ECM) not only provides structural support between cells, but also contributes to cellular functions. Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) is a collagen-binding matricellular protein that is particularly induced during development and tissue remodeling...

The alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR) regulates inflammation in experimental models and is expressed in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and in human atherosclerotic plaques. However, its role in regulating inflammation in patients with cardiovascular disease is unknown. This study aims to investigate whether α7nAChR stimulation can reduce the inflammatory response in PBMCs from patients with newly diagnosed coronary artery disease (CAD). Human PBMCs, extracted from patients with verified CAD (n=38) and control participants with healthy vessels (n=38), were challenged in vitro with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in combination with the α7nAChR agonist PHA 568487...

Regulation of energy metabolism is pivotal in the development of cardiovascular diseases. Dysregulation in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) has been linked to cardiac lipid accumulation and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a deacetylase that regulates the acetylation of various proteins involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism. SIRT1 mediates energy metabolism by directly and indirectly affecting multiple aspects of mitochondrial processes, such as mitochondrial biogenesis. SIRT1 interacts with essential mitochondrial energy regulators such as Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor α (PPARα), PPARgcoactivator-1 (PGC1α), Estrogen-Related Receptor α (ERRα), and their downstream targets...

Reduced muscle contractility and mitochondrial bioenergetics are the hallmarks of systolic heart failure. There is currently no therapy targeting both. Here, we show that gene delivery of Perm1 via adeno-associated virus (AAV) simultaneously enhances cardiac contractility and mitochondrial biogenesis in C57BL6 mice. Moreover, we found that PERM1 interacts with Troponin C (TnC), a key contractile protein in striated muscle, and that AAV- Perm1 led to upregulation of TnC. This study suggests that gene delivery of Perm1 may be a novel therapeutic approach to treat systolic heart failure by simultaneously restoring cardiac contractility and mitochondrial bioenergetics...

Phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) from a contractile state to a synthetic, proliferative state is a hallmark of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In CVD, diseased tissue often becomes acidic from altered cellular metabolism secondary to compromised blood flow, yet the contribution of local acid/base imbalance to the disease process has been historically overlooked. In this study, we examined the regulatory impact of the pH-sensing G protein-coupled receptor GPR68 on vascular smooth muscle (VSM) proliferation in vivo and in vitro in wild-type (WT) and GPR68 knockout (KO) male and female mice...

Background: Left ventricular pressure overload (LVPO) can lead to heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and LV chamber stiffness (LV Kc) is a hallmark. This project tested the hypothesis that the development of HFpEF due to an LVPO stimulus, will alter post-transcriptional regulation, specifically microRNAs (miRs). Methods: LVPO was induced in pigs (n=9) by sequential ascending aortic cuff and age and weight matched pigs (n=6) served as controls. LV function was measured by echocardiography and LV Kc by speckle tracking...

Background-Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurements are recommended for assessing hemodynamic coronary stenosis severity. Intracoronary ECG (icECG) is easily obtainable and highly sensitive in detecting myocardial ischemia due to its close vicinity to the myocardium. We hypothesized that the remission time of myocardial ischemia on icECG after a controlled coronary occlusion accurately detects hemodynamically relevant coronary stenosis. Methods-This retrospective, observational study included patients with chronic coronary syndrome undergoing hemodynamic coronary stenosis assessment immediately following a strictly 1-minute proximal coronary artery balloon occlusion with simultaneous icECG recording...
