Exploring the Connection Between Relaxed Myosin States and the Anrep Effect
Circ Res. 2024 Jan 5;134(1):117-134. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.123.323173. Epub 2024 Jan 4.ABSTRACTThe Anrep effect is an adaptive response that increases left ventricular contractility following an acute rise in afterload. Although the mechanistic origin remains undefined, recent findings suggest a two-phase activation of resting myosin for contraction, involving strain-sensitive and posttranslational phases. We propose that this mobilization represents a transition among the relaxed states of myosin-specifically, from the super-relaxed (SRX) to the disordered-relaxed (DRX)-with DRX myosin ready to participate in force gene...

SUMOylation Fine-Tunes Endothelial HEY1 in the Regulation of Angiogenesis
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrate that reversible HEY1 SUMOylation is a molecular mechanism that coordinates endothelial angiogenic signaling and angiogenesis, both in physiological and pathological milieus, by fine-tuning the transcriptional activity of HEY1. Specifically, SUMOylation facilitates the formation of the HEY1 transcriptional complex and enhances its DNA-binding capability in endothelial cells.PMID:38166414 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.123.323398 (Source: Circulation Research)

CD147 Sparks Atherosclerosis by Driving M1 Phenotype and Impairing Efferocytosis
CONCLUSIONS: Myeloid CD147 plays a crucial role in the growth of plaques by promoting inflammation in a TRAF6-IKK-IRF5-dependent manner and inhibiting efferocytosis by suppressing GAS6 during proinflammatory conditions. Consequently, the use of anti-human CD147 antibodies presents a complementary therapeutic approach to the existing lipid-lowering strategies for treating atherosclerotic diseases.PMID:38166463 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.123.323223 (Source: Circulation Research)
