ADAMTS4 mediates LPS‐induced cardiac injury and myocardial fibrosis through proteolytic cleavage of TSP1

Clinical and Translational Medicine
Septic cardiomyopathy is characterized by acute cardiac dysfunction, while sustained inflammatory and extracellular matrix remodeling may contribute to subsequent myocardial fibrosis and impaired cardiac recovery. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with

Reversible and irreversible differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2013
Differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts (Fbs) into myofibroblasts (MyoFbs) is responsible for connective tissue build-up in myocardial remodelling. We examined MyoFb differentiation and reversibility.Adult rat cardiac Fbs were cultured on a plastic substratum providing mechanical stress, with conditions to obtain different levels of Fb differentiation ...

Fibroblast growth factor 21 protects against cardiac hypertrophy in mice

, 2013
Fibroblast growth factor 21 is an endocrine factor, secreted mainly by the liver, that exerts metabolic actions that favour glucose metabolism. Its role in the heart is unknown. Here we show that Fgf21(-/-) mice exhibit an increased relative heart weight

1,25(OH)2 vitamin D3, and retinoic acid antagonize endothelin-stimulated hypertrophy of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes. [PDF]

, 1996
1,25 (OH)(2) Vitamin D-3 (VD3) and retinoic acid (RA) function as ligands for nuclear receptors which regulate transcription, Though the cardiovascular system is not thought to represent a classical target for these ligands, it is clear that both cardiac

Near‐Infrared Light‐Activated Polydopamine Nanoparticles Conjugated With Transferrin Peptides for Enhanced Brain Accumulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that Tf‐PDA NPs combine a receptor‐mediated targeting with mild photothermal activation to enhance nanoparticle accumulation in the brain. NIR‐activated Tf‐PDA NPs increase BBB permeability to NPs in vitro and in vivo without inducing cytotoxicity or adverse immune responses.

Cardiac fibroblasts support cardiac inflammation in heart failure

Basic Research in Cardiology, 2014
Cardiac remodeling and inflammation are hallmarks of cardiac failure and correlate with outcome in patients. However, the basis for the development of both remains unclear. We have previously reported that cardiac inflammation triggers transdifferentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts and therefore increase accumulation of cardiac collagen, one key

Re-patterning of H3K27me3, H3K4me3 and DNA methylation during fibroblast conversion into induced cardiomyocytes

Stem Cell Research, 2016
Direct conversion of fibroblasts into induced cardiomyocytes (iCMs) offers an alternative strategy for cardiac disease modeling and regeneration. During iCM reprogramming, the starting fibroblasts must overcome existing epigenetic barriers to acquire the

Does the revised cardiac risk index predict cardiac complications following elective lung resection? [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI) score and Thoracic Revised Cardiac Risk Index (ThRCRI) score were developed to predict the risks of postoperative major cardiac complications in generic surgical population and thoracic surgery respectively.
