Therapeutic benefits of increasing natriuretic peptide levels [PDF]

, 2017
Natriuretic peptides play an important role in water and salt homeostasis and in the regulation of the cardiovascular system. In recent years, exogenous administration of natriuretic peptides has primarily been used to improve our understanding of the ...

Resolution of Refractory Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia in Costello Syndrome Using Trametinib: A Case Supporting MEK Inhibitors as Targeted, Specific Antiarrhythmic

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arrhythmias affect approximately half of patients with Costello syndrome (CS, OMIM # 218040), with non‐reentrant atrial tachycardia being the most common. This case describes an infant with Costello syndrome carrying the pathogenic HRAS c.34G>A (p.G12S) variant who developed early‐onset, drug‐refractory multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT ...

Natriuretic peptide receptor-C is up-regulated in the intima of advanced carotid artery atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2016
OBJECTIVE: Natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C/NPR-3) is a cell surface protein involved in vascular remodelling that is up-regulated in atherosclerosis. NPR-C expression has not been well characterized in human carotid artery occlusive lesions.

Complementary multi‐omics profiling of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension reveals immune cell alterations, epigenetic changes, and genetically supported candidate genes

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study presents an integrative multi‐omics framework to uncover the molecular mechanisms and potential biomarkers of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Anthropometric and biochemical data were correlated using canonical correlation analysis, revealing key cardiometabolic associations. Single‐cell RNA sequencing identified immune

Regulated Inositol‐Requiring Protein 1‐Dependent Decay as a Mechanism of Corin RNA and Protein Deficiency in Advanced Human Systolic Heart Failure [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: The compensatory actions of the endogenous natriuretic peptide system require adequate processing of natriuretic peptide pro‐hormones into biologically active, carboxyl‐terminal fragments.

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Relation of atrial natriuretic peptides to left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in heart failure [PDF]

, 2000
Background: Plasma concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptides are correlated with atrial pressures, as are left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular filling abnormalities. Aims: This study investigated the relation of atrial natriuretic

Urinary proteomics for prediction of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The urinary proteomic classifier CKD273 has shown promise for prediction of progressive diabetic nephropathy (DN). Whether it is also a determinant of mortality and cardiovascular disease in patients with microalbuminuria (MA) is unknown.

Long‐Term Outcomes of Reduced‐Intensity Conditioning Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Systemic Sclerosis With Impaired Cardiac Function

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective High‐intensity conditioning autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is standard of care for patients with advanced systemic sclerosis (SSc). The role of reduced‐intensity conditioning (RIC) before AHSCT in this population remains unclear.

The T2238C human atrial natriuretic peptide molecular variant and the risk of cardiovascular diseases [PDF]

, 2018
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a cardiac hormone which plays important functions to maintain cardio-renal homeostasis. The peptide structure is highly conserved among species. However, a few gene variants are known to fall within the human ANP gene.
