Abstract
BACKGROUND We compared health-related quality of life (HRQOL), depressive symptoms, anxiety, and burden in caregivers of older patients with heart failure based on the intended therapy goal of the patient: awaiting heart transplantation (HT) with or without mechanical circulatory support (MCS) or prior to long-term MCS; and we identified factors associated with HRQOL. METHODS Caregivers (n = 281) recruited from 13 HT and MCS programs in the United States completed measures of HRQOL (EQ-5D-3L), depressive symptoms (PHQ-8), anxiety (STAI-state), and burden (Oberst Caregiving Burden Scale). Analyses included ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis tests, χ2 tests, and linear regression. RESULTS The majority of caregivers were female, white spouses with ≤ 2 comorbidities, median [Q1,Q3] age = 62 [57.8, 67.0] years. Caregivers (HT with MCS = 87, HT without MCS = 98, long-term MCS = 96) reported similarly high baseline HRQOL (EQ-5D-3L visual analog scale median score = 90; P = 0.67 for all groups) and low levels of depressive symptoms. STAI-state median scores were higher in the long-term MCS group vs the HT groups with and without MCS, (38 vs 32 vs 31; P < 0.001), respectively. Burden (task: time spent/difficulty) differed significantly among groups. Caregiver factors (number of comorbidities, diabetes and higher anxiety levels) were significantly associated with worse caregiver HRQOL, R2 = 26%. CONCLUSIONS Recognizing caregiver-specific factors, including comorbidities and anxiety, associated with the HRQOL of caregivers of these older patients with advanced HF may guide support strategies.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac stromal cells are the most abundant cell type present in the heart, where they have an important homeostatic function in matrix renewal and electromechanical coupling. We have shown that YAP transcription factor (a component of the Hippo pathway) is important for the proliferation of these cells and, potentially, pathologic cardiac matrix stiffening in heart failure.
Purpose
Given the role of Hippo pathway in cell mechanosensation, we assessed the conditions for activation of the YAP-dependent transcriptional pathway related to geometry/strain sensing using human “cardiosphere”-derived cells.
Methods
Human cardiospheres (C-Sp) and C-Sp-derived cells (CDCs) were obtained from fragments of atrial appendages of patients admitted for AoC bypass. C-Sps and CDCs were cultured using published methods. To analyze cell/nuclear geometry in 2D/3D culture, we employed an adapting thresholding algorithm allowing segmentation of cell membrane/nuclei shape and the relative abundance of nuclear/cytoplasmic fluorescence intensities from z-stacked confocal immunofluorescence images. Inhibitors of signaling cascades converging onto actin cytoskeleton polymerization or of YAP/TEADs interaction were used to assess YAP target genes transcription.
Results
Previous results showed stiffness sensitivity of YAP nuclear translocation process. Namely, CDCs plated onto stiff (E >50kPa) culture plates exhibited high ratios of nuclear/cytoplasmic YAP, as compared to cells plated on substrates with lower stiffness (E ∼ 10kPa). Analogously, cells with a stretched cytoplasm/nuclear shape in the border regions of the 3D organoids exhibited a higher YAP nuclear localization level and expression of fibrotic markers compared with cells with a more round geometry in the center of the spheres. To uncouple the cytoskeleton tensioning-dependent YAP nuclear shuttling, we treated CDCs plated onto stiff substrates with blebbistatin and Y27632. This showed a fully reversible YAP relocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and a reversion of canonical target genes (CYR61, ANKRD1 and CTGF) expression. In parallel, a “softening” process of the nucleus, likely due to release from cytoskeleton traction forces, was observed by confocal imaging along the cellular z-axis. Interestingly, use of Verteporfin, a drug directly interfering with the interaction of YAP/TAZ complex with TEADs DNA binding proteins showed reversion of pro-fibrotic YAP targets independent of high cytoskeleton tensioning.
Conclusions
These results establish, for the first time, a deterministic relationship between pro-pathologic evolution of human adult cardiac stromal cells and activation of mechanosensing-dependent pathways. They also provide quantitative criteria for interpreting fibrotic evolution of the heart based on modifications of myocardial architecture and mechanical compliance, as well as the ability of the cells to generate tension forces affecting the nuclear structure.

Abstract
Microglia cells, resident immune cells of the brain, survey brain parenchyma by dynamically extending and retracting their processes. Cl− channels, activated in the cellular response to stretch/swelling, take part in several functions deeply connected with microglia physiology, including cell shape changes, proliferation, differentiation and migration. However, the molecular identity and functional properties of these Cl− channels are largely unknown. We investigated the properties of swelling-activated currents in microglial from acute hippocampal slices of Cx3cr1+/GFP mice by whole-cell patch-clamp and imaging techniques. The exposure of cells to a mild hypotonic medium, caused an outward rectifying current, developing in 5–10 minutes and reverting upon stimulus washout. This current, required for microglia ability to extend processes towards a damage signal, was carried mainly by Cl− ions and dependent on intracellular Ca2+. Moreover, it involved swelling-induced ATP release. We identified a purine-dependent mechanism, likely constituting an amplification pathway of current activation: under hypotonic conditions, ATP release triggered the Ca2+-dependent activation of anionic channels by autocrine purine receptors stimulation. Our study on native microglia describes for the first time the functional properties of stretch/swelling-activated currents, representing a key element in microglia ability to monitor the brain parenchyma.

Abstract
The EDA+ fibronectin splicing variant is overexpressed in psoriatic non-lesional epidermis and sensitizes keratinocytes to mitogenic signals. However, regulation of its abundance is only partially understood. In our recent cDNA microarray experiment, we identified three SR-rich splicing factors-splicing factor, arginine/serine-rich 18 (SFRS18), peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase G (PPIG), and luc-7 like protein 3 (LUC7L3)-which might be implicated in the preactivated states of keratinocytes in psoriatic non-involved skin and could also contribute to the regulation of fibronectin mRNA maturation. In this study, we investigated the role of LUC7L3, PPIG, and SFRS18 in psoriasis and in the mRNA maturation process of fibronectin. Regarding tissue staining experiments, we were able to demonstrate a characteristic distribution of the splicing factors in healthy, psoriatic non-involved and involved epidermis. Moreover, the expression profiles of these SR-rich proteins were found to be very similar in synchronized keratinocytes. Contribution of splicing facwwtors to the EDA+ fibronectin formation was also confirmed: their siRNA silencing leads to altered fibronectin mRNA and protein expression patterns, suggesting the participation in the EDA domain inclusion. Our results indicate that LUC7L3, PPIG, and SFRS18 are not only implicated in EDA+ fibronectin formation, but also that they could possess multiple roles in psoriasis-associated molecular abnormalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ability of the spliceosomal small nuclear RNA U1 (U1snRNA) to rescue pre-mRNA splicing impaired by mutations makes it an attractive therapeutic molecule. Coagulation factor deficiencies due to splicing mutations are relatively frequent and could therefore benefit from this strategy. However, the effects of U1snRNAs in vivo remain unknown. OBJECTIVES To assess the rescue of the F7 c.859+5G>A splicing mutation (FVII+5A), causing severe human factor VII (hFVII) deficiency, by the modified U1snRNA+5a (U1+5a) in a murine model. METHODS Mice expressing the human F7 c.859+5G>A mutant were generated following liver-directed expression by plasmid or recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector administration. The rescue of the splice-site defective pre-mRNA by U1+5a was monitored in liver and plasma through hFVII-specific assays. RESULTS Injection of plasmids encoding the U1+5a rescued plasma hFVII levels, which increased from undetectable to ~8.5% of those obtained with the wild-type hFVII plasmid control. To assess long-term effects, mice were injected with low and high doses of two AAV vectors encoding the FVII+5A splice site mutant as template to be corrected by U1+5a. This strategy resulted in hFVII plasma levels of 3.9 ± 0.8 or 23.3 ± 5.1 ng mL⁻¹ in a dose-dependent manner, corresponding in patients to circulating FVII levels of ~1-4.5% of normal. Moreover, in both experimental models, we also detected correctly spliced hFVII transcripts and hFVII-positive cells in liver cells. CONCLUSIONS Here we provide the first in vivo proof of-principle of the rescue of the expression of a splicing-defective F7 mutant by U1snRNAs, thus highlighting their therapeutic potential in coagulation disorders.

Abstract
CONTEXT There is experimental but limited clinical evidence that FSH may have direct effects on bone. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of acute FSH stimulation on bone turnover in premenopausal women. DESIGN AND SETTING We conducted a prospective study at a referral center. PATIENTS Twenty-nine infertile women (age range, 30-40 yr) undergoing an in vitro fertilization procedure were included in the study. INTERVENTIONS Pharmacological suppression of endogenous gonadotropin and estradiol (E2) production by GnRH analog (leuprolide 1 mg/d s.c.) was followed by stimulation with recombinant FSH (rFSH; starting dose, 375 IU/d s.c.). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We measured serum osteocalcin, C-telopeptides of type-1 collagen (β-CTX), FSH, and E2 at the beginning of leuprolide administration (T0), at the beginning of rFSH administration (T1), and 3 d (T2) and 10 d (T3) after the first dose of rFSH. RESULTS At T1, the suppression of FSH and E2 secretion, as an effect of leuprolide administration, led to a significant increase in serum β-CTX values vs. T0 (P < 0.001). After the administration of rFSH, a rapid increase in serum FSH was observed, whereas serum E2 values increased more slowly. At T2, the increase in serum FSH values above our reference range for early follicular phase (with E2 in the reference range) did not induce any significant change in median serum β-CTX values as compared to T1. At T3 (when both FSH and E2 were high), serum β-CTX values decreased significantly vs. T1 (P < 0.001). Osteocalcin did not change significantly throughout the study period. CONCLUSIONS Our model suggests that FSH does not acutely exert relevant direct effects on bone metabolism in premenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The major locus for melanoma predisposition is the cell cycle regulatory CDKN2A gene on chromosome 9p21. However, the frequency of germline coding mutations of the CDKN2A gene is lower than expected in melanoma-prone families linked to chromosome 9p21. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether the rare IVS1+37 G/C intronic mutation of the CDKN2A gene, recently identified in a Hungarian melanoma-prone family, influences mRNA splicing regulation. METHODS CDKN2A minigenes containing the wild-type and the mutant intronic sequence were created and transfected into HeLa cells with the aim of studying the mRNA transcripts. RESULTS The results revealed the emergence of a differential splicing pattern from the wild-type and the mutant minigene, suggesting that this mutation may alter the splicing of CDKN2A primary mRNA and therefore might have a pathogenetic role in familial melanoma. CONCLUSIONS We believe that these results confirm the importance of the identification and characterization of CDKN2A intronic mutations with a view to improving our understanding of the pathogenesis, and explain why the frequency of germline coding mutations of the CDKN2A gene is lower than expected in melanoma-prone families linked to chromosome 9p21.
