Identification, characterization, and engineering of glycosylation in thrombolyticsa
Biotechnol Adv. 2023 May 12:108174. doi: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2023.108174. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and pulmonary embolism, are the most common causes of disability and death worldwide. Blood clot hydrolysis by thrombolytic enzymes and thrombectomy are key clinical interventions. The most widely used thrombolytic enzyme is alteplase, which has been used in clinical practice since 1986. Another clinically used thrombolytic protein is tenecteplase, which has modified epitopes and engineered glycosylation sites, suggesting that carbohydrate modifica...

Gut Microbiota and Cardiovascular Disease: Symbiosis Versus Dysbiosis
Curr Med Chem. 2021 Dec 12. doi: 10.2174/0929867328666211213112949. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe gut microbiome interacts with host physiology through various mechanisms, including the cardiovascular (CV) system. A healthy microbiome has the ability to process and digest complex carbohydrates into short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). These SCFA function as signaling molecules, immune-modulating molecules, and energy sources. However, when the microbiome is altered, it produces gut dysbiosis with overgrowth of certain bacteria that may lead to overproduction of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) from the metabolism of phosphatid...

Olive Oil Intake and Cardiovascular Disease Prevention: “Seek and You Shall Find”
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe present narrative review focuses on the up-to-date clinical data on the correlations between olive oil consumption and cardiovascular (CV) diseases (i.e., CHD, stroke, and peripheral artery disease).Recent FindingsOlive oil contains monounsaturated fats, several antioxidant phenols, and other micronutrients that mediate CV-protective effects via improvements in oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, thrombosis, blood pressure, and lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. High consumption of olive oil, and in particular the extra-virgin, which is rich in phenolic antioxidants, has be...

Is addictive-like eating an overlooked stroke risk factor? A study case.
CONCLUSION: Food addiction might be considered as an emerging stroke risk factor. We suggest it fosters the need to take into consideration addictive-like eating behaviors and associated mental disorders in the primary and secondary prevention of stroke. This may be particularly relevant for the prevention of stroke in women as they are more prone to comfort their emotions with food. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: V, descriptive study.

Proteomic analyses identify a potential mechanism by which extracellular vesicles aggravate ischemic stroke
Publication date: Available online 7 June 2019Source: Life SciencesAuthor(s): Xintong Wang, Jiaoqi Wang, Xiaohua Shi, Chengliang Pan, Hongyu Liu, Yue Dong, Rui Dong, Jing Mang, Zhongxin XuAbstractAimsExtracellular vesicles (EVs) are vital for information exchange between donor and recipient cells. When cells are stressed (e.g., by oxygen glucose deprivation, OGD), the complex information carried by the EVs is altered by the donor cells. Here, we aimed to analyze the proteomic differences between EVs derived from OGD-damaged cells and EVs derived from undamaged cells to explore the potential mechanisms by which EVs aggravat...
