The recently discovered dinucleotide uridine adenosine tetraphosphate (Up(4)A) was found in human plasma and characterized as endothelium-derived vasoconstrictive factor (EDCF). A further study revealed a positive correlation between Up(4)A and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. Due to the dominant role of migration in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions our aim was to investigate the migration stimulating potential of Up(4)A. Indeed, we found a strong chemoattractant effect of Up(4)A on VSMC by using a modified Boyden chamber. This migration dramatically depends on osteopontin secretion (OPN) revealed by the reduction of the migration signal down to 23% during simultaneous incubation with an OPN-blocking antibody. Due to inhibitory patterns using specific and unspecific purinoreceptor inhibitors, UNA mediates it's migratory signal mainly via the P2Y(2). The signaling behind the receptor was investigated with luminex technique and revealed an activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) pathway. By use of the specific PDGF receptor (PDGFR) inhibitor AG1296 and siRNA technique against PDGFR-beta we found a strongly reduced migration signal after UNA stimulation in the PDGFR-beta knockdown cells compared to control cells. In this study, we present substantiate data that UNA exhibits migration stimulating potential probably involving the signaling cascade of MEK1 and ERK1/2 as well as the matrix protein OPN. We further suggest that the initiation of the migration process occurs predominant through direct activation of the P2Y(2) by UNA and via transactivation of the PDGFR. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.

Acid sphingomyelinase promotes SGK1-dependent vascular calcification

Trang Thi Doan Luong, Rashad Tuffaha, Mirjam Schuchardt, Barbara Moser, Nadeshda Schelski, Beate Boehme, Can Gollmann-Tepekoylu, Clara Schramm, Johannes Holfeld, Burkert Pieske, Erich Gulbins, Markus Toelle, Markus van der Giet, Florian Lang, Kai-Uwe Eckardt, Jakob Voelkl, Ioana Alesutan

Summary: The study found that acid sphingomyelinase (ASM)/ceramide is a critical regulator in promoting vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) calcification, partly through SGK1-dependent signaling. Inhibiting ASM may help reduce the progression of vascular calcification during chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors and typical clinical course of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) and derive strategies for perioperative clinical routines. The results showed that close monitoring of renal function for at least 72 hours after cardiac surgery is crucial, especially in patients with preexisting chronic kidney disease (CKD) and signs of CS-AKI. Renal protective strategies should be initiated early to prevent the onset of AKI.

Temporary threshold shift after noise exposure in hypobaric hypoxia at high altitude: results of the ADEMED expedition 2011

K. Fehrenbacher, C. Apel, D. Bertsch, M. S. van der Giet, S. van der Giet, M. Grass, C. Gschwandtl, N. Heussen, N. Hundt, C. Kuehn, A. Morrison, M. Mueller-Ost, M. Mueller-Tarpet, S. Porath, J. Risse, S. Schmitz, V Schoeffl, L. Timmermann, K. Wernitz, T. Kuepper

Summary: White noise exposure at high altitude poses a higher risk for noise-induced hearing loss, despite acclimatization increasing arterial oxygen saturation, it does not offer sufficient protection for the inner ear. Therefore, protective devices are recommended at altitudes above 1500 meters when noise levels exceed 75 dB, and should be used definitively above 80 dB to consider individual reactions to hypobaric hypoxia at high altitude.

Summary: Vessel wall calcification is a structural pathology of aged vessels associated with high cardiovascular mortality in elderly patients. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress in aging lead to activation of PRRs in vascular cells, contributing to VSMC calcification. Inhibition of PRR activation may be a potential target for reducing vascular calcification and subsequent cardiovascular mortality.

Biomechanical Properties of the Aortic Wall: Changes during Vascular Calcification

Jinwen Zhou, Manasa Reddy Gummi, Anna Greco, Milen Babic, Jaqueline Herrmann, Farid I. Kandil, Markus van der Giet, Markus Toelle, Mirjam Schuchardt

Summary: Medial vascular calcification (MAC) involves HAP deposition in the medial layer of the vessel wall, leading to vessel disruption and stiffness. Due to the lack of direct therapeutic interventions, understanding MAC pathogenesis is crucial. Although various methods exist to study the pathophysiological processes in the vessel wall, a method for assessing the physiological properties is currently unavailable. This study aims to address this gap by validating a method for measuring the biomechanical properties of the arterial wall during vascular calcification using small-vessel-myography.

Hole behavior captured by analysis of instantaneous amplitude and phase of sarcosynced oscillations reveals wave characteristics of sarcomeric oscillations

Seine A. Shintani

Summary: In this study, the researchers used signal analysis to study the instantaneous amplitude and phase of sarcomeric oscillations in skeletal muscle. They identified two types of oscillations, sarcomeric oscillations and sarcosynced oscillations, and visualized their behavior during propagating waves. The researchers discovered the presence of sarcomeric defect holes and sarcomeric collision holes, which are important indicators for understanding the oscillation properties of sarcomeres. This finding has important implications for improving our understanding of muscle function and its regulatory mechanisms.

TP53INP2 modulates the malignant progression of colorectal cancer by reducing the inactive form of β-catenin

Ke Shi, Yunlong Shan, Xiao Sun, Kuida Chen, Qiong Luo, Qiang Xu

Summary: This study found that low expression of TP53INP2 is associated with poor survival in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. As the malignancy of CRC progresses, TP53INP2 expression gradually decreases. Knockdown of TP53INP2 promotes CRC cell proliferation and tumor growth. Mechanistically, TP53INP2 deficiency decreases phosphorylation of beta-catenin, leading to increased accumulation and enhanced nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity. Additionally, TP53INP2 sequesters TIM50, inhibiting its activation of beta-catenin. In conclusion, downregulation of TP53INP2 promotes CRC progression by activating beta-catenin.

The four subunits of rabbit skeletal muscle lactate dehydrogenase do not exert their catalytic action additively

Martina Rossi, Fabio Tomaselli, Alejandro Hochkoeppler

Summary: Oligomeric enzymes are known for their higher catalytic rates compared to monomeric enzymes, but the extent of additivity in their activity is still not well understood. This study used tetrameric rabbit lactate dehydrogenase as a model to examine the kinetics of its catalytic action. Surprisingly, when the concentration of the limiting reactant exceeded that of a single subunit, there was a significant slowdown in the enzyme's conformational rearrangements.
