Abstract
BACKGROUND Identifying novel molecular drivers of disease progression in heart failure (HF) is a high-priority goal that may provide new therapeutic targets to improve patient outcomes. The authors investigated the relationship between plasma proteins and adverse outcomes in HF and their putative causal role using Mendelian randomization. METHODS AND RESULTS The authors measured 4776 plasma proteins among 1964 participants with HF with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction enrolled in PHFS (Penn Heart Failure Study). Assessed were the observational relationship between plasma proteins and (1) all-cause death or (2) death or HF-related hospital admission (DHFA). The authors replicated nominally significant associations in the Washington University HF registry (N=1080). Proteins significantly associated with outcomes were the subject of 2-sample Mendelian randomization and colocalization analyses. After correction for multiple testing, 243 and 126 proteins were found to be significantly associated with death and DHFA, respectively. These included small ubiquitin-like modifier 2 (standardized hazard ratio [sHR], 1.56; P<0.0001), growth differentiation factor-15 (sHR, 1.68; P<0.0001) for death, A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-like protein (sHR, 1.40; P<0.0001), and pulmonary-associated surfactant protein C (sHR, 1.24; P<0.0001) for DHFA. In pathway analyses, top canonical pathways associated with death and DHFA included fibrotic, inflammatory, and coagulation pathways. Genomic analyses provided evidence of nominally significant associations between levels of 6 genetically predicted proteins with DHFA and 11 genetically predicted proteins with death. CONCLUSIONS This study implicates multiple novel proteins in HF and provides preliminary evidence of associations between genetically predicted plasma levels of 17 candidate proteins and the risk for adverse outcomes in human HF.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). As CKD progresses, CKD-specific risk factors, such as disordered mineral homeostasis, amplify traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) regulates mineral homeostasis by activating complexes of FGF receptors and transmembrane klotho co-receptors. A soluble form of klotho also acts as a 'portable' FGF23 co-receptor in tissues that do not express klotho. In progressive CKD, rising circulating FGF23 levels in combination with decreasing kidney expression of klotho results in klotho-independent effects of FGF23 on the heart that promote left ventricular hypertrophy, heart failure, atrial fibrillation and death. Emerging data suggest that soluble klotho might mitigate some of these effects via several candidate mechanisms. More research is needed to investigate FGF23 excess and klotho deficiency in specific cardiovascular complications of CKD, but the pathophysiological primacy of FGF23 excess versus klotho deficiency might never be precisely resolved, given the entangled feedback loops that they share. Therefore, randomized trials should prioritize clinical practicality over scientific certainty by targeting disordered mineral homeostasis holistically in an effort to improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients with CKD.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by tissue-specific insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction, which result from the interplay of local abnormalities within different tissues and systemic dysregulation of tissue crosstalk. The main local mechanisms comprise metabolic (lipid) signalling, altered mitochondrial metabolism with oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress and local inflammation. While the role of endocrine dysregulation in T2DM pathogenesis is well established, other forms of inter-organ crosstalk deserve closer investigation to better understand the multifactorial transition from normoglycaemia to hyperglycaemia. This narrative Review addresses the impact of certain tissue-specific messenger systems, such as metabolites, peptides and proteins and microRNAs, their secretion patterns and possible alternative transport mechanisms, such as extracellular vesicles (exosomes). The focus is on the effects of these messengers on distant organs during the development of T2DM and progression to its complications. Starting from the adipose tissue as a major organ relevant to T2DM pathophysiology, the discussion is expanded to other key tissues, such as skeletal muscle, liver, the endocrine pancreas and the intestine. Subsequently, this Review also sheds light on the potential of multimarker panels derived from these biomarkers and related multi-omics for the prediction of risk and progression of T2DM, novel diabetes mellitus subtypes and/or endotypes and T2DM-related complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Observational data provide compelling evidence for elevated fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) as a risk factor for heart failure (HF), particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Given the limitations of observational studies, uncertainties persist regarding the causal role of FGF23 in the pathogenesis of HF and HFpEF. Recently, Mendelian randomization (MR) studies have been performed to examine causal associations between FGF23 and HF phenotypes. RECENT FINDINGS The current review describes the methodological basis of the MR techniques used to examine the causal role of FGF23 on HF phenotypes, highlighting the importance of large-scale multiomics data. The findings from most of the MR studies indicate an absence of evidence of a causal effect of FGF23 on the risk of HF in general population settings. However, analysis using individual-level data showed a strong association between genetically-predicted FGF23 and HFpEF in individuals with a genetic predisposition to low estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR). SUMMARY Evidence from MR analysis suggests a causal role of FGF23 in the pathogenesis of HFpEF in low eGFR settings - a finding supported by experimental, clinical, and epidemiological data. While future MR studies of FGF23 and HFpEF could provide further evidence, randomized trials of FGF23-lowering agents could provide the most definitive answers on the association in chronic kidney disease populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) is associated with a range of cardiovascular and noncardiovascular diseases in conventional epidemiological studies, but substantial residual confounding may exist. Mendelian randomization approaches can help control for such confounding. METHODS SCALLOP Consortium data of 19,195 participants were used to generate an FGF-23 genetic score. Data from 337,448 UK Biobank participants were used to estimate associations between higher genetically predicted FGF-23 concentration and the odds of any atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (n=26,266 events), nonatherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (n=12,652), and noncardiovascular diseases previously linked to FGF-23. Measurements of carotid intima-media thickness and left ventricular mass were available in a subset. Associations with cardiovascular outcomes were also tested in three large case-control consortia: CARDIOGRAMplusC4D (coronary artery disease, n=181,249 cases), MEGASTROKE (stroke, n=34,217), and HERMES (heart failure, n=47,309). RESULTS We identified 34 independent variants for circulating FGF-23, which formed a validated genetic score. There were no associations between genetically predicted FGF-23 and any of the cardiovascular or noncardiovascular outcomes. In UK Biobank, the odds ratio (OR) for any atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease per 1-SD higher genetically predicted logFGF-23 was 1.03 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.98 to 1.08), and for any nonatherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, it was 1.01 (95% CI, 0.94 to 1.09). The ORs in the case-control consortia were 1.00 (95% CI, 0.97 to 1.03) for coronary artery disease, 1.01 (95% CI, 0.95 to 1.07) for stroke, and 1.00 (95% CI, 0.95 to 1.05) for heart failure. In those with imaging, logFGF-23 was not associated with carotid or cardiac abnormalities. CONCLUSIONS Genetically predicted FGF-23 levels are not associated with atherosclerotic and nonatherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, suggesting no important causal link.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Elevated fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) has been consistently associated with heart failure, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, among patients with CKD and in the general population. FGF23 may directly induce cardiac remodeling and heart failure. However, biases affecting observational studies impede robust causal inferences. Mendelian randomization leverages genetic determinants of a risk factor to examine causality. We performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization to assess causal associations between FGF23 and heart failure. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Genetic instruments were genome-wide significant genetic variants associated with FGF23, including variants near PIP5K1B, RGS14, LINC01229, and CYP24A1. We analyzed data from the Heart Failure Molecular Epidemiology for Therapeutic Targets and BioVU biobanks to examine associations of the four variants with overall heart failure, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, and heart failure with reduced and mid-range ejection fraction. We developed an eGFR polygenic risk score using summary statistics from the Chronic Kidney Disease Genetics Consortium (CKDGen) genome-wide association study of eGFR in >1 million individuals and performed stratified analyses across eGFR polygenic risk score strata. RESULTS Genetically determined FGF23 was not associated with overall heart failure in the Heart Failure Molecular Epidemiology for Therapeutic Targets consortium (odds ratio, 1.13; 95% confidence interval, 0.89 to 1.42 per unit higher genetically predicted log FGF23) and the full BioVU sample (odds ratio, 1.32; 95% confidence interval, 0.95 to 1.84). In stratified analyses in BioVU, higher FGF23 was associated with overall heart failure (odds ratio, 3.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.38 to 6.91) among individuals with low eGFR-polygenic risk score (<1 SD below the mean), but not those with high eGFR-polygenic risk score (P interaction = 0.02). Higher FGF23 was also associated with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction among all BioVU participants (odds ratio, 1.47; 95% confidence interval, 1.01 to 2.14) and individuals with low eGFR-polygenic risk score (odds ratio, 7.20; 95% confidence interval, 2.80 to 18.49), but not those high eGFR-polygenic risk score (P interaction = 2.25 × 10-4). No significant associations were observed with heart failure with reduced and midrange ejection fraction. CONCLUSION We found no association between genetically predicted FGF23 and heart failure in the Heart Failure Molecular Epidemiology for Therapeutic Targets consortium. In BioVU, genetically elevated FGF23 was associated with higher heart failure risk, specifically heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, particularly among individuals with low genetically predicted eGFR.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by an increased risk of kidney failure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Aging and comorbidities as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, infectious diseases, or tumors, might increase the risk of dialysis. In addition, genetic susceptibility factors might modulate kidney damage evolution. We have analyzed, in a group of ESRD patients and matched controls, a set of SNPs of genes (Klotho rs577912, rs564481, rs9536314; FGF23 rs7955866; IGF1 rs35767; TNFA rs1800629; IL6 rs1800795; MIF rs755622, rs1007888) chosen in relation to their possible involvement with renal disease and concomitant pathologies. Analysis of the raw data did indicate that IL6 rs180795 and MIF rs755622 SNPs might be markers of genetic susceptibility to ESRD. In particular, the C positive genotypes of MIF rs755622, (dominant model) seem to be an independent risk factor for ESDR patients (data adjusted for age, gender, and associated pathologies). Stratifying results according to age MIF rs755622 C positive genotype frequencies are increased in both the two age classes considered (<59 and ≥59-year-old subjects). Analyses of data according to gender allowed us to observe that ESRD women shoved a significantly reduced frequency of genotypes bearing IL6 rs180795 C allele. In addition, MIF rs755622 might interact with diabetes or hypercholesterolemia in increasing susceptibility to ESRD. In conclusion, our data indicate that some polymorphisms involved in the regulation of both renal function and inflammatory response can influence the evolution of chronic kidney disease and suggest that the modulation of the activities of these and other genes should also be considered as therapeutic targets on to intervene with innovative therapies.

Abstract
Texture analysis (TA) is a newly arisen field that can detect the invisible MRI signal changes among image pixels. Myocardial infarction (MI) is cardiomyocyte necrosis caused by myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, becoming the primary cause of death and disability worldwide. In recent years, various TA studies have been performed in patients with MI and show a good clinical application prospect. This review briefly presents the main pathogenesis and pathophysiology of MI, introduces the overview and workflow of TA, and summarizes multiple magnetic resonance TA (MRTA) clinical applications in MI. We also discuss the facing challenges currently for clinical utilization and propose the prospect.
