Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The main cause underlying CVD is associated with the pathological remodeling of the vascular wall, involving several cell types, including endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and leukocytes. Vascular remodeling is often related with the development of atherosclerotic plaques leading to narrowing of the arteries and reduced blood flow. Atherosclerosis is known to be triggered by high blood cholesterol levels, which in the presence of a dysfunctional endothelium, results in the retention of lipoproteins in the artery wall, leading to an immune-inflammatory response. Continued hypercholesterolemia and inflammation aggravate the progression of atherosclerotic plaque over time, which is often complicated by thrombus development, leading to the possibility of CV events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Annexins are a family of proteins with high structural homology that bind phospholipids in a calcium-dependent manner. These proteins are involved in several biological functions, from cell structural organization to growth regulation and vesicle trafficking. In vitro gain- or loss-of-function experiments have demonstrated the implication of annexins with a wide variety of cellular processes independent of calcium signaling such as immune-inflammatory response, cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, apoptosis, and membrane repair. In the last years, the use of mice deficient for different annexins has provided insight into additional functions of these proteins in vivo, and their involvement in different pathologies. This review will focus in the role of annexins in CVD, highlighting the mechanisms involved and the potential therapeutic effects of these proteins.

Abstract
The annexin superfamily consists of 12 proteins with a highly structural homology that binds to phospholipids depending on the availability of Ca2+-dependent. Different studies of overexpression, inhibition, or using recombinant proteins have linked the main function of these proteins to their dynamic and reversible binding to membranes. Annexins are found in multiple cellular compartments, regulating different functions, such as membrane trafficking, anchoring to the cell cytoskeleton, ion channel regulation, as well as pro- or anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant activities. The use of animals deficient in any of these annexins has established their possible functions in vivo, demonstrating that annexins can participate in relevant functions independent of Ca2+ signalling. This review will focus mainly on the role of different annexins in the pathological vascular remodelling that underlies the formation of the atherosclerotic lesion, as well as in the control of cholesterol homeostasis.

Abstract
The aim was to identify new targets that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level in angiotensin II (ANGII)-mediated hypertension. Heparin affinity chromatography was used to enrich nucleic acid-binding proteins from kidneys of two-kidney, one-clip (2K1C) hypertensive Wistar rats. The experiment was repeated with 14-day ANGII infusion using Alzet osmotic mini pumps, with or without ANGII receptor AT1a inhibition using losartan in the drinking water. Mean arterial pressure increased after 2K1C or ANGII infusion and was inhibited with losartan. Heparin affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry were used to identify Annexin-A2 (ANXA2) as having differential nucleic acid-binding activity. Total Annexin-A2 protein expression was unchanged, whereas nucleic acid-binding activity was increased in both kidneys of 2K1C and after ANGII infusion through AT1a stimulation. Costaining of Annexin-A2 with α-smooth muscle actin and aquaporin 2 showed prominent expression in the endothelia of larger arteries and the cells of the inner medullary collecting duct. The nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) transcription factor was identified as a likely Annexin-A2 target using enrichment analysis on a 2K1C microarray data set and identifying several binding sites in the regulatory region of the mRNA. Expression analysis showed that ANGII increases NFAT5 protein but not mRNA level and, thus, indicated that NFAT5 is regulated by posttranscriptional regulation, which correlates with activation of the RNA-binding protein Annexin-A2. In conclusion, we show that ANGII increases Annexin-A2 nucleic acid-binding activity that correlates with elevated protein levels of the NFAT5 transcription factor. NFAT signaling appears to be a major contributor to renal gene regulation in high-renin states.

Abstract
Tenascin-c is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, the expression of which relates to the progression of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and heart failure. Annexin II acts as a cell surface receptor of tenascin-c. This study aimed to delineate the role of tenascin-c and annexin II in macrophages presented in atherosclerotic plaque. Animal models with atherosclerotic lesions were established using ApoE-KO mice fed with high-cholesterol diet. The expression of tenascin-c and annexin II in atherosclerotic lesions was determined by qRT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry analysis. Raw 264.7 macrophages and human primary macrophages were exposed to 5, 10 and 15 μg/ml tenascin-c for 12 hrs. Cell migration as well as the proangiogenic ability of macrophages was examined. Additionally, annexin II expression was delineated in raw 264.7 macrophages under normal condition (20% O2 ) for 12 hrs or hypoxic condition (1% O2 ) for 6-12 hrs. The expression of tenascin-c and annexin II was markedly augmented in lesion aorta. Tenascin-c positively regulated macrophage migration, which was dependent on the expression of annexin II in macrophages. VEGF release from macrophages and endothelial tube induction by macrophage were boosted by tenascin-c and attenuated by annexin II blocking. Furthermore, tenascin-c activated Akt/NF-κB and ERK signalling through annexin II. Lastly, hypoxia conditioning remarkably facilitates annexin II expression in macrophages through hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α but not HIF-2α. In conclusion, tenascin-c promoted macrophage migration and VEGF expression through annexin II, the expression of which was modulated by HIF-1α.

Abstract
[Purpose] Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (BaPWV), which has been reported as an
index of arterial stiffness, is very closely related to cardiovascular risk factors. A
high BaPWV indicates high cardiovascular risk. However, BaPWV and pressure waveforms after
stroke are not fully understood. [Methods] BaPWV was measured in thirty-two subjects
(twenty-two healthy volunteers and ten stroke patients) while they were in the supine
position. It was measured in their bilateral upper and lower extremities. [Results] BaPWV
was significantly increased in the stroke group compared with the healthy volunteers. It
was also significantly increased on both the affected and non-affected sides of stroke
patients in the stroke group. Furthermore, analysis of the pressure waveforms showed that
the peak pressure was significantly increased in the stroke group compared with the
control group. The peak pressure on both the affected and non-affected sides was also
significantly greater than in the control group. However, the rise and decay times were
significantly decreased in the stroke group compared with the control group. The rise and
decay time on both the affected and non-affected sides were also significantly more
decreased than in the control group. [Conclusion] The results demonstrated that increased
BaPWV and changed pulse waves are closely associated with the pathologic states of
hemiplegic stroke patients.

Abstract
[Purpose] Atrophy is a common phenomenon caused by prolonged muscle disuse associated
with bed-rest, aging, and immobilization. However, changes in the expression of
atrophy-related myoglobin are still poorly understood. In the present study, we examined
whether or not myoglobin expression is altered in the gastrocnemius muscles of rats after
seven days of cast immobilization. [Methods] We conducted a protein expression and
high-resolution differential proteomic analysis using, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis
and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight/time-of-flight mass
spectrometry, and western blotting. [Results] The density and expression of myoglobin
increased significantly more in atrophic gastrocnemius muscle strips than they did in the
control group. [Conclusion] The results suggest that cast immobilization-induced atrophy
may be related to changes in the expression of myoglobin in rat gastrocnemius muscles.

Abstract
AIMS DJ-1/park7 is a ubiquitously expressed multifunctional protein that plays essential roles in a variety of cells. However, its function in the vascular system has not been determined. We investigated the protective roles of DJ-1/park7 in vascular disorders, especially in neointimal hyperplasia. METHODS AND RESULTS DJ-1/park7 was strongly expressed in the neointimal layer, in which its oxidized form was predominant. Treatment of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from the mouse aorta with H(2)O(2) increased the oxidation of DJ-1/park7 visualized on two-dimensional electrophoresis gels. The growth of VSMCs in FBS-containing media and the release of H(2)O(2) were significantly increased in DJ-1/park7(-/-) knockout mice compared with DJ-1/park7(+/+) wild-type mice. The expression of cyclin D1 and the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 were greater in VSMCs from the DJ-1/park7(-/-) aorta than from the DJ-1/park7(+/+) aorta. Both of these measures were inhibited by treatment with an ERK1/2 inhibitor or antioxidants and in DJ-1/park7-overexpressing cells. VSMC proliferation, cyclin D1 expression, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in response to platelet-derived growth factor-BB were upregulated in DJ-1/park7(-/-) compared with DJ-1/park7(+/+) mice. VSMCs of DJ-1/park7(-/-) mice exhibited higher levels of sprout outgrowth of aortic strips and neointimal plaque formation elicited by carotid artery ligation compared with those of DJ-1/park7(+/+) mice. CONCLUSION These results indicate that DJ-1/park7 is involved in the growth of VSMCs, thereby inhibiting neointimal hyperplasia, and suggest that it might play protective roles in vascular remodelling.

Abstract
Changes in the expression profiles of specific proteins leads to serious human diseases, including colitis. The proteomic changes related to colitis and the differential expression between tuberculous (TC) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in colon tissue from colitis patients has not been defined. We therefore performed a proteomic analysis of human TC and UC mucosal tissue. Total protein was obtained from the colon mucosal tissue of normal, TC, and UC patients, and resolved by 2-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE). The results were analyzed with PDQuest using silver staining. We used matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight/time-of-flight spectrometry (MALDI TOF/TOF) to identify proteins differentially expressed in TC and UC. Of the over 1,000 proteins isolated, three in TC tissue and two in UC tissue displayed altered expression when compared to normal tissue. Moreover, two proteins were differentially expressed in a comparative analysis between TC and UC. These were identified as mutant β-actin, α-enolase and Charcot-Leyden crystal protein. In particular, the expression of α-enolase was significantly greater in TC compared with normal tissue, but decreased in comparison to UC, implying that α-enolase may represent a biomarker for differential diagnosis of TC and UC. This study therefore provides a valuable resource for the molecular and diagnostic analysis of human colitis.

Abstract
Adenomyosis is a common estrogen-dependent disorder of females characterized by a downward extension of the endometrium into the uterine myometrium and neovascularization in ectopic lesions. It accounts for chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and infertility in 8.8-61.5% women worldwide. However, the molecular mechanisms for adenomyosis development remain poorly elucidated. Here, we utilized a two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis/MS-based proteomics analysis to compare and identify differentially expressed proteins in matched ectopic and eutopic endometrium of adenomyosis patients. A total of 93 significantly altered proteins were identified by tandem MS analysis. Further cluster analysis revealed a group of estrogen-responsive proteins as dysregulated in adenomyosis, among which annexin A2, a member of annexin family proteins, was found up-regulated most significantly in the ectopic endometrium of adenomyosis compared with its eutopic counterpart. Overexpression of ANXA2 was validated in ectopic lesions of human adenomyosis and was found to be tightly correlated with markers of epithelial to mesenchymal transition and dysmenorrhea severity of adenomyosis patients. Functional analysis demonstrated that estrogen could remarkably up-regulate ANXA2 and induce epithelial to mesenchymal transition in an in vitro adenomyosis model. Enforced expression of ANXA2 could mediate phenotypic mesenchymal-like cellular changes, with structural and functional alterations in a β-catenin/T-cell factor (Tcf) signaling-associated manner, which could be reversed by inhibition of ANXA2 expression. We also proved that enforced expression of ANXA2 enhanced the proangiogenic capacity of adenomyotic endometrial cells through HIF-1α/VEGF-A pathway. In vivo, we demonstrated that ANXA2 inhibition abrogated endometrial tissue growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis in an adenomyosis nude mice model and significantly alleviated hyperalgesia. Taken together, our data unraveled a dual role for ANXA2 in the pathogenesis of human adenomyosis through conferring endometrial cells both metastatic potential and proangiogenic capacity, which could serve as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of adenomyosis patients.
