Cardiosphere-derived cells suppress allogeneic lymphocytes by production of PGE2 acting via the EP4 receptor [PDF]

, 2018
derived cells (CDCs) are a cardiac progenitor cell population, which have been shown to possess cardiac regenerative properties and can improve heart function in a variety of cardiac diseases. Studies in large animal models have predominantly focussed on

The tacrolimus concentration‐to‐dose ratio is associated with kidney function in heart transplant recipients

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Heart transplantation (HT) is frequently complicated by chronic kidney disease, of which tacrolimus‐related nephrotoxicity is an important cause. In kidney and liver transplant recipients, fast tacrolimus metabolism (defined as a low concentration‐to‐dose [C0/D] ratio), negatively affects kidney function.

Multiple species comparison of cardiac troponin T and dystrophin: unravelling the DNA behind dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2017
Animals have frequently been used as models for human disorders and mutations. Following advances in genetic testing and treatment options, and the decreasing cost of these technologies in the clinic, mutations in both companion and commercial animals ...

Genetic causal association between heart failure, frailty and poisoning by narcotics and psychodysleptics: A two‐sample Mendelian randomization

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Observational studies have suggested associations between heart failure (HF), frailty and poisoning by narcotics and psychodysleptics (PNP). However, establishing causal relationships has been challenging. This study used a two‐sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the genetically proxied causality between HF ...

The mitochondrial DNA T16189C polymorphism and HIV-associated cardiomyopathy: a genotype-phenotype association study

BMC Medical Genetics, 2009
Background The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) T16189C polymorphism, with a homopolymeric C-tract of 10–12 cytosines, is a putative genetic risk factor for idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy in the African and British populations.

Gap junction reduction in cardiomyocytes following transforming growth factor- beta treatment and Trypanosoma cruzi infection [PDF]

, 2009
Gap junction connexin-43 (Cx43) molecules are responsible for electrical impulse conduction in the heart and are affected by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta).

Identification of a New Interesting BAG3 Modulator Able to Disrupt Cancer‐Related Pathways

ChemMedChem, Accepted Article.
Continuing our research aimed at discovering new BAG3 modulators as attractive anticancer drug candidates, we performed a screening campaign on an in‐house library, including compounds featuring a large variety of scaffolds. The obtained results induced us to focus on the triazole moiety and, following a stepwise structural refinement of the scaffold ...

Dilated cardiomyopathy due to hypocalcaemia: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Background Hypocalcaemia is a rare, but reversible, cause of dilated cardiomyopathy causing heart failure. Several case reports have been reported on reversible cardiomyopathy secondary to hypocalcaemia.

Plasmatic Biochemical Variables Associated with Polymorphisms in the Endothelin-1 and Endothelin-1 Receptor a Genes in Hypertensive Patients: Pilot Study [PDF]

, 2016
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoconstrictive peptide, and its activity is mediated by thetype A receptor (EDNRA). This action may play a significant role in the etiology of hypertension.There are different works that shows an association between ...

Autopsy findings in cases of fatal COVID‐19 vaccine‐induced myocarditis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract COVID‐19 vaccines have been linked to myocarditis, which, in some circumstances, can be fatal. This systematic review aims to investigate potential causal links between COVID‐19 vaccines and death from myocarditis using post‐mortem analysis.
