The molecular mechanisms contributing to large artery stiffness (LAS) are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between circulating plasma proteins and LAS using complementary proteomic and genomic analyses. A total of 106 proteins associated with carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity, a noninvasive measure of LAS, were identified in 1,178 individuals from the Asklepios study cohort. Mendelian randomization analyses revealed causal effects of 13 genetically predicted plasma proteins on pulse pressure, including cartilage intermediate layer protein-2, high-temperature requirement A serine peptidase-1, and neuronal growth factor-1. These findings suggest potential novel therapeutic targets to reduce LAS and its related diseases.
导致大动脉僵化(LAS)的分子机制尚不完全清楚。本研究旨在通过蛋白质组和基因组互补分析,研究循环血浆蛋白与大动脉僵化之间的关联。在 Asklepios 研究队列中的 1178 人中,共鉴定出 106 种与颈动脉-股动脉脉搏波速度(LAS 的无创测量指标)相关的蛋白质。孟德尔随机分析显示,13 种基因预测的血浆蛋白对脉压有因果效应,包括软骨中间层蛋白-2、高温要求 A 丝氨酸肽酶-1 和神经元生长因子-1。这些发现为减少 LAS 及其相关疾病提供了潜在的新治疗靶点。

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is associated with high mortality despite advanced therapies. The LMNA gene encodes lamin A/C and is the second most frequently mutated gene associated with DCM, for which therapeutic options are limited. Here we generated Lmna–/– mice and found they exhibited cardiac dysfunction at the age of 1 month but not at 2 weeks. Proteomics showed down-regulation of mitochondrial function–related pathways in Lmna–/– hearts. Moreover, early injured mitochondria with decreased cristae density and sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) down-regulation were observed in 2-week-old Lmna–/– hearts. Adenoviral overexpression of SIRT1 in lamin A/C knockdown neonatal rat ventricular myocytes improved mitochondrial oxidative respiration capacity. Adeno-associated virus–mediated SIRT1 overexpression alleviated mitochondrial injury, cardiac systolic dysfunction, ventricular dilation, and fibrosis, and prolonged lifespan in Lmna–/– mice. Mechanistically, LMNA maintains mitochondrial bioenergetics through the SIRT1-PARKIN axis. Our results suggest that targeting the SIRT1 signaling pathway is expected to be a novel therapeutic strategy for LMNA mutation–associated DCM.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is more prevalent in men than in women, with endothelial dysfunction, prodromal to CAD, developing a decade earlier in middle-aged men. We investigated the molecular basis of this dimorphism ex vivo in arterial segments discarded during surgery of CAD patients. The results reveal a lower endothelial relaxant sensitivity in men, and a senescence-associated inflammaging transcriptomic signature in endothelial cells. In women, cellular metabolism and endothelial maintenance pathways are conserved. This suggests that senolytic therapies to reduce risk of cardiovascular events in women with CAD may not be as effective as in men.

Intrapericardial delivery offers a route for heart therapies. Mouse heart size and membrane thickness pose catheterization challenges, hampering pericardium-targeted treatments. The objectives were to develop a mouse surgical technique for pericardial catheter insertion and to assess its suitability for intrapericardial delivery, including use with a myocardial ischemia/reperfusion model. We used successful catheter implantation in BALB/cJ and ΔdblGATA1 mice, showcasing intrapericardial delivery with fluorescent beads and eosinophils. We demonstrated a combination of pericardial catheterization with myocardial ischemia/reperfusion model. A reliable catheterization technique, enabling intrapericardial delivery of therapeutic agents in mice provides a valuable tool for studying the pericardial space and mediastinum in basic and translational research.
