Molecular reprogramming of adventitial pericytes by a selective MEK inhibitor halts the progression of thoracic aortic aneurysm

|
By Khaled Mohammed, Elisa Avolio, Valeria V. Alvino, Eltayeb Mohamed Ahmed

Abstract Aim: Reconstructive surgery is a life-saving treatment for individuals with advanced thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) at risk of rupture. No effective pharmacological treatments are available to halt aortic dilatation before it reaches this critical point. Unravelling the cellular and molecular pathways involved in TAA formation and expansion is fundamental for identifying potential treatment targets.

Regulation of BACH1 by hemin improves cardiac function in a mouse model of myocardial infarction

|
By Valeria V. Alvino, Rajesh Katare, Elisa Avolio, Annabelle Fricker
| biorxiv.org
Abstract Aims: The BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) transcription factor is a repressor of heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1), a pivotal enzyme involved in antioxidant response and iron recycling. Here we investigated whether pharmacological modulation of the BACH1 by hemin impacts on antioxidant responses and reparative angiogenesis in a mouse model of myocardial infarction (MI).

BPIFB4 and its longevity-associated haplotype protect from cardiac ischemia in humans and mice - Cell Death & Disease

|
By Monica Cattaneo, Elisa Avolio, Anna Maciag, Gaia Spinetti, Antonio Paolo Beltrami
| Nature Verified
Abstract Long-living individuals (LLIs) escape age-related cardiovascular complications until the very last stage of life. Previous studies have shown that a Longevity-Associated Variant (LAV) of the BPI Fold Containing Family B Member 4 (BPIFB4) gene correlates with an extraordinarily prolonged life span. Moreover, delivery of the LAV-BPIFB4 gene exerted therapeutic action in murine models of atherosclerosis, limb ischemia, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and aging.
