Angiogenesis in Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension: A Janus-Faced Player?
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2024 Feb 8. doi: 10.1161/ATVBAHA.123.319852. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare form of pulmonary hypertension characterized by the presence of organized thrombi that obstruct pulmonary arteries, ultimately leading to right heart failure and death. Among others, impaired angiogenesis and inflammatory thrombosis have been shown to contribute to the progression of CTEPH. In this review, we summarize the 2-faced nature of angiogenesis in both thrombus formation and resolution in the context of CTEPH and highlight the dual role of angioge...

Predicting Lipid-Rich Plaque Progression in Coronary Arteries Using Multimodal Imaging and Wall Shear Stress Signatures
CONCLUSIONS: Luminal exposure to high TSVI, solely or combined with a lipid-rich plaque phenotype, is associated with enhanced plaque progression at 1-year follow-up. Where plaque progression occurred, low TAWSS was also observed. These findings suggest TSVI, in addition to low TAWSS, as a potential biomechanical predictor for plaque progression, showing promise for clinical translation to improve patient prognosis.PMID:38328935 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.123.320337 (Source: Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology)

Neutrophils and Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Cause Vascular Occlusion and Delayed Cerebral Ischemia After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Mice
CONCLUSIONS: After SAH, skull-derived neutrophils are primed for NETosis, and there are persistent brain iNETs, which correlated with delayed deficits. The findings from this study suggest that, after SAH, neutrophils and NETosis are therapeutic targets, which can prevent vascular occlusion by NETs in the brain, thereby lessening the risk of DCI. Finally, NET markers may be biomarkers, which can predict which patients with aneurysmal SAH are at risk for developing DCI.PMID:38299355 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.123.320224 (Source: Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology)

Regulation of YAP Promotor Accessibility in Endothelial Mechanotransduction
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings reveal a role for AmotL2 and nuclear-cytoskeletal force transmission in modulating the epigenetic and transcriptional regulation of YAP to maintain a mechano-enforced positive feedback loop of vascular homeostasis. These findings may offer an explanation as to the proinflammatory phenotype that leads to aneurysm formation observed in AmotL2 endothelial deletion models.PMID:38299356 | DOI:10.1161/ATVBAHA.123.320300 (Source: Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology)
