Biochemical alterations in inflammatory reactive chondrocytes: evidence for intercellular network communication

The Role of Connexin-43 in the Inflammatory Process: A New Potential Therapy to Influence Keratitis

It is found that Cx43 is involved in wound healing and can decrease the time of healing, and several C x43 mimic peptides are reported which can inhibit the activity of Cx 43 Hc to mediate the releasing of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which may in turn influence the inflammatory process.

Refined CLARITY-Based Tissue Clearing for Three-Dimensional Fibroblast Organization in Healthy and Injured Mouse Hearts.

This refined cardiac tissue clarifying technique and digitized imaging system allows for 3-D visualization of cardiac fibroblasts in the heart without the limitations of antibody penetration failure or previous issues surrounding lost fluorescence due to tissue processing.

LncRNA KCNQ1OT1 Mediates Pyroptosis in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy

Kcnq1ot1 is overexpressed in DCM, and silencing Kcnq 1ot1 inhibits pyroptosis by influencing miR-214-3p and caspase-1 expression, and it is clarified for the first time that Kcn Q1OT1 could be a new therapeutic target for DCM.

Role of the TRPM4 Channel in Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathophysiology

The physiological function of the TRPM4 channel is discussed, the role in cardiovascular pathophysiology is assessed, and the channel's role in cardiac conduction disease is assessed.

Low-grade inflammation causes gap junction-coupled cell dysfunction throughout the body, which can lead to the spread of systemic inflammation

This is a review based on literature search and research data of inflammatory stimuli that can affect different organs and particularly gap-junction-coupled cells throughout the body, and whether it is possible to address the right cellular and biochemical parameters and restore inflammatory systems to a normal physiological level by therapeutic strategies.

Gut Microbiome and Organ Fibrosis

The state of the art concerning the crosstalk between intestinal microbiota and organ fibrosis is summarized, the relevance of diet in different fibrotic diseases is addressed and gut microbiome-targeted therapeutic approaches that are current being explored are discussed.

Orexin/hypocretin system dysfunction in patients with Takotsubo syndrome: A novel pathophysiological explanation

Orexin-system dysfunction is a potential novel explanation for the pathophysiology of TTS due to direct or indirect dynamics of orexin signaling, which could influence cardiac contractility, in line with the conceptualization of T TS as a cardiovascular syndrome rather than merely a cardiac abnormality or cardiomyopathy.

Structural alterations and inflammation in the heart after multiple trauma followed by reamed versus non-reamed femoral nailing

It is revealed that reamed femoral nailing (reamed) is associated with more prominent immunological cardiac alterations compared to nailing without reaming (non-reamed), which suggests that the choice of the initial fracture treatment strategy might be crucial for the overall outcome as well as for any post-traumatic cardiac consequences.

Human cardiac fibroblasts produce pro-inflammatory cytokines upon TLRs and RLRs stimulation

It is demonstrated that human cardiac fibroblasts and an immortalized human cardiomyocyte cell line differently respond to various TLRs and RLRs ligands, which will contribute to better understand the immunological function of the different cell populations that make up the cardiac tissue.

Cardiac fibroblasts support cardiac inflammation in heart failure

It is found that mechanical stretch mimicking cardiac dilation in heart failure induces activation of fibroblasts and not only stimulates production of extracellular matrix but more interestingly up-regulates chemokine production and triggers typical inflammatory pathways in vitro.

Upregulation of the 5-Lipoxygenase Pathway in Human Aortic Valves Correlates With Severity of Stenosis and Leads to Leukotriene-Induced Effects on Valvular Myofibroblasts

The upregulation of the LT pathway in human aortic valve stenosis and its correlation with clinical stenosis severity, taken together with the potentially detrimental LT-induced effects on valvular myofibroblasts, suggests one possible role of inflammation in the development of aorta stenosis.
