Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are currently the most common cause of death in developed countries. Due to lifestyle and environmental factors, this problem is only expected to increase in the future. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a key player in the onset of cardiovascular diseases but also have important functions in healthy cardiac tissue. Here, the interplay between ROS generation and cardiac mechanical forces is shown, and the state of the art and a perspective on future directions are discussed. To this end, an overview of what is currently known regarding ROS and mechanosignaling at a subcellular level is first given. There the role of ROS in mechanosignaling as well as the interplay between both factors in specific organelles is emphasized. The consequences at a larger scale across the population of heart cells are then discussed. Subsequently, the roles of ROS in embryogenesis, pathogenesis, and aging are further discussed, exemplifying some aspects of mechanoregulation. Finally, different models that are currently in use are discussed to study the topics above.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Poretti-Boltshauser syndrome is a rare, nonprogressive neurologic syndrome with characteristic cerebellar cysts on neuroimaging due to mutations in LAMA1. The ophthalmic findings in Poretti-Boltshauser syndrome are not well described. Here, we report the ophthalmic findings from multimodal imaging and electrophysiology of a patient with genetically confirmed Poretti-Boltshauser syndrome. METHODS A 3-year-old boy with confirmed mutations in LAMA1 underwent examination under anesthesia with electroretinography and multimodal imaging including fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, optical coherence tomography, and optical coherence tomography angiography. RESULTS Dilated fundus examination was notable for retinal vascular anomalies, including a large area of nonperfusion in the temporal macula with corresponding retinal thinning on optical coherence tomography. There was an absence of a distinct foveal avascular zone and decreased density of both the superficial and deep vascular plexuses in the macula on optical coherence tomography angiography. There was diffuse loss of choriocapillaris architecture and decreased choroidal thickness. CONCLUSION Patients with Poretti-Boltshauser syndrome may possess chorioretinal thinning and retinal vascular abnormalities appreciable on examination and multimodal imaging. These findings suggest a role for LAMA1 in retinal and choroidal vascular development.

Abstract
In the central nervous system, astrocytes extend endfoot processes to ensheath synapses and microvessels. However, the mechanisms underlying this astrocytic process extension remain unclear. A limitation of the use of 2D cultured astrocytes for such studies is that they display a flat, epithelioid morphology, with no or very few processes, which is markedly different from the stellate morphology observed in vivo. In this study, we obtained 2D cultured astrocytes with a rich complexity of processes using differentiation of neurospheres in vitro. Using these process-bearing astrocytes, we showed that laminin, an extracellular matrix molecule abundant in perivascular sites, efficiently induced process formation and branching. Specifically, the numbers of the first- and second-order branch processes and the maximal process length of astrocytes were increased when cultured on laminin, compared with when they were cultured on poly-L-ornithine or type IV collagen. Knockdown of dystroglycan or α-syntrophin, constituent proteins of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex that provides a link between laminin and the cytoskeleton, using small interference RNAs inhibited astrocyte process formation and branching, and down-regulated expression of the water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4). Direct knockdown and a specific inhibitor of AQP4 also inhibited, whereas over-expression of AQP4 enhanced astrocyte process formation and branching. Knockdown of AQP4 decreased phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) that is critically implicated in actin remodeling. Collectively, these results indicate that the laminin-dystroglycan-α-syntrophin-AQP4 axis is important for process formation and branching of 2D cultured astrocytes.

Abstract
Dystroglycan (DG), a multifunctional protein dimer of non-covalently linked α and β subunits, is best known as an adhesion and transduction molecule linking the cytoskeleton and intracellular signaling pathways to extracellular matrix proteins. Loss of DG binding, possibly by degradation or disturbed glycosylation, has been reported in a variety of cancers. DG is abundant at astroglial endfeet forming the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and glia limitans; so, we examined if loss of expression is associated with glioma. Expression levels of α-DG and β-DG were assessed by immunohistochemistry in a series of 78 glioma specimens to determine the relationship with tumor grade and possible prognostic significance. α-DG immunostaining was undetectable in 44 of 49 high-grade specimens (89.8%) compared to 15 of 29 low-grade specimens (51.72%) (P<0.05). Moreover, loss of α-DG expression was an independent predictor of shorter disease-free survival (DFS) (hazards ratio (HR) = 0.142, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.033-0.611, P=0.0088). Reduced expression of both α-DG and β-DG was also a powerful negative prognostic factor for DFS (HR=2.556, 95% CI 1.403-4.654, P=0.0022) and overall survival (OS) (HR=2.193, 95% CI 1.031-4.666, P=0.0414). Lack of α-DG immunoreactivity is more frequent in high-grade glioma and is an independent predictor of poor clinical outcome. Similarly, lack of both α-DG and β-DG immunoreactivity is a strong independent predictor of clinical outcome.

Immobilization and therapeutic passive stretching generate thickening and increase the expression of laminin and dystrophin in skeletal muscle. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2014; 47:483-91.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix and costamere proteins transmit the concentric, isometric, and
eccentric forces produced by active muscle contraction. The expression of these
proteins after application of passive tension stimuli to muscle remains unknown. This
study investigated the expression of laminin and dystrophin in the soleus muscle of
rats immobilized with the right ankle in plantar flexion for 10 days and subsequent
remobilization, either by isolated free movement in a cage or associated with passive
stretching for up to 10 days. The intensity of the macrophage response was also
evaluated. One hundred and twenty-eight female Wistar rats were divided into 8
groups: free for 10 days; immobilized for 10 days; immobilized/free for 1, 3, or 10
days; or immobilized/stretched/free for 1, 3, or 10 days. After the experimental
procedures, muscle tissue was processed for immunofluorescence
(dystrophin/laminin/CD68) and Western blot analysis (dystrophin/laminin).
Immobilization increased the expression of dystrophin and laminin but did not alter
the number of macrophages in the muscle. In the stretched muscle groups, there was an
increase in dystrophin and the number of macrophages after 3 days compared with the
other groups; dystrophin showed a discontinuous labeling pattern, and laminin was
found in the intracellular space. The amount of laminin was increased in the muscles
treated by immobilization followed by free movement for 10 days. In the initial
stages of postimmobilization (1 and 3 days), an exacerbated macrophage response and
an increase of dystrophin suggested that the therapeutic stretching technique induced
additional stress in the muscle fibers and costameres.
