   Join us on War Docs as we welcome Army Physician MAJ Mary Ford, an infectious disease specialist and lead author of the acclaimed Military Medicine Journal's article of the year: Clinical Characteristics and Resistance Patterns of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolated From Combat Casualties https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34196358/    Listen in as MAJ Ford shares the impactful findings of her team's research on Pseudomonas aeruginosa in combat casualties, a topic of paramount importance to military health. Her personal journey into the infectious disease field, spurred by early curiosities and familial influences, and the progression of her military career make for a captivating story of dedication and passion.       In this engaging conversation, we also tackle the critical subject of infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship in the face of combat trauma. Hear about the vital role of simple measures, like hand hygiene, in combating infections, especially those caused by the antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Discover how MAJ Ford's team utilized the Trauma Infectious Disease Outcomes Study to uncover that approximately 6% of combat trauma patients developed Pseudomonas infections. The implications of these findings are vast, offering significant advancements for clinical outcomes and infection control in military medical settings. Tune in for a deep understanding of how such research continues to shape practices and policies within the Department of Defense.   Chapters: (00:02) Infectious Disease in the Military (07:12) Combat Trauma Infections and Pseudomonas   Chapter Summaries: (00:02) Infectious Disease in the Military  MAJ Mary Ford's research on Pseudomonas aeruginosa in combat casualties and its impact on military health, her personal journey into infectious disease, and the enduring need for ongoing research in the Department of Defense.   (07:12) Combat Trauma Infections and Pseudomonas   Infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship are crucial in controlling Pseudomonas infections in combat trauma patients.   Take Home Messages: In the context of military medicine, the issue of infections following combat trauma is a significant concern, with Pseudomonas aeruginosa identified as a noteworthy pathogen due to its prevalence in prolonged hospital stays and its intrinsic antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship are critical components in the management of combat trauma infections. Basic practices such as hand hygiene play a pivotal role in controlling the spread of infections and can have substantial impacts on patient outcomes. Research conducted through the Trauma Infectious Disease Outcomes Study (T-DOS) has revealed that about 6% of combat trauma patients develop Pseudomonas infections, which underscores the importance of understanding and addressing these infections to improve clinical practices and infection control protocols. Combat trauma patients with Pseudomonas infections often experience lengthy hospital stays and intensive care unit admissions, highlighting the need for robust infection prevention strategies in military healthcare settings to reduce the burden of these nosocomial infections. The fight against infections like Pseudomonas aeruginosa in military medicine is an ongoing challenge that requires continuous research and evidence-based practices to ensure the health and readiness of military personnel. Basic infection control measures remain foundational in mitigating infectious threats.   Episode Keywords:  Military Medicine, Infectious Disease, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Combat Trauma, Antimicrobial Stewardship, Research, Clinical Practices, Infection Control, Military Health, Nosocomial Pathogen, Antibiotic Resistance, Retrospective Analysis, Prospectively Collected Data, Trauma Infectious Disease Outcomes Study, Clinical Outcomes, Infection Prevention, Military Medical Environments Hashtags: #wardocs #military #medicine #podcast #MilMed #MedEd #MilitaryMedicine, #PseudomonasAeruginosa, #CombatInfections, #InfectiousDiseases, #AntimicrobialStewardship, #WarDocsPodcast, #MilitaryHealthcare, #TraumaInfections, #InfectionPrevention, #ClinicalResearch   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine   The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

This is the first of a special podcast series on obstetric critical care.  I am joined on this series by Dr. Elizabeth Garchar, MD, FACOG.  She is an OB/GYN and Maternal Fetal Medicine (MFM) specialist who has a special interest in obstetric critical care.  She is also unique in that she flies regularly with our critical care transport teams and acts as one of our Assistant Medical Directors for the flight program.  So, Dr. Garchar has unique insight into managing this population in transport. This podcast focuses on severe postpartum hemorrhage.  We discuss the epidemiology and risk factors as well as the nuances of diagnosis, specifically how blood loss is actually quantified in this setting.  We also go through the importance of point-of-care ultrasound to help identify and manage the causes of postpartum hemorrhage.  Then, we transition to the discussion of management, focusing on the medical management of uterine atony, and also go over advanced interventions such as uterine packing, balloon tamponade devices, and REBOA.  Finally, Dr. Garchar discusses the indication and procedure for emergent hysterectomy as well as the post-procedure management critical care transport crews may have to perform.   References   Practice Bulletin No. 183: Postpartum Hemorrhage.

This month on Episode 47 of Discover CircRes, host Cynthia St. Hilaire highlights three original research articles featured in the March 31 issue of Circulation Research. We'll also provide an overview of the Compendium on Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Complications in Chronic Kidney Disease published in the April 14 issue. Finally, this episode features an interview with Dr Elizabeth Tarling and Dr Bethan Clifford from UCLA regarding their study, RNF130 Regulates LDLR Availability and Plasma LDL Cholesterol Levels.   Article highlights:   Shi, et al. LncRNAs Regulate SMC Phenotypic Transition   Chen, et al. Bilirubin Stabilizes Atherosclerotic Plaque   Subramaniam, et al. Mapping Non-Obvious cAMP Nanodomains by Proteomics   Compendium on Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Complications in Chronic Kidney Disease   Cindy St. Hilaire:              Hi, and welcome to Discover CircRes, the podcast of the American Heart Association's Journal, Circulation Research. I'm your host, Dr Cindy St. Hilaire, from the Vascular Medicine Institute at the University of Pittsburgh, and today I'm going to share three articles selected from our March 31st issue of Circulation Research and give you a quick summary of our April 14th Compendium. I'm also excited to speak with Dr Elizabeth Tarling and Dr Bethan Clifford from UCLA regarding their study, RNF130 Regulates LDLR Availability and Plasma LDL Cholesterol Levels.   So first the highlights. The first article we're going to discuss is Discovery of Transacting Long Noncoding RNAs that Regulates Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotype. This article's coming from Stanford University and the laboratory of Dr Thomas Quertermous. Smooth muscle cells are the major cell type contributing to atherosclerotic plaques. And in plaque pathogenesis, the cells can undergo a phenotypic transition whereby a contractile smooth muscle cell can trans differentiate into other cell types found within the plaque, such as macrophage-like cells, osteoblast-like cells and fibroblast-like cells. These transitions are regulated by a network of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, and these mechanisms govern the risk of disease.   The involvement of long non-coding RNAs, or Lnc RNAs as they're called, has been increasingly identified in cardiovascular disease. However, smooth muscle cell Lnc RNAs have not been comprehensively characterized and the regulatory role in the smooth muscle cell state transition is not thoroughly understood. To address this gap, Shi and colleagues created a discovery pipeline and applied it to deeply strand-specific RNA sequencing from human coronary artery smooth muscle cells that were stressed with different disease related stimuli. Subsequently, the functional relevancy of a few novel Lnc RNAs was verified in vitro.   From this pipeline, they identified over 4,500 known and over 13,000 unknown or previously unknown Lnc RNAs in human coronary artery smooth muscle cells. The genomic location of these long noncoding RNAs was enriched near coronary artery disease related transcription factor and genetic loci. They were also found to be gene regulators of smooth muscle cell identity. Two novel Lnc RNAs, ZEB-interacting suppressor or ZIPPOR and TNS1-antisense or TNS1-AS2, were identified by the screen, and this group discovered that the coronary artery disease gene, ZEB2, which is a transcription factor in the TGF beta signaling pathway, is a target for these Lnc RNAs. These data suggest a critical role for long noncoding RNAs in smooth muscle cell phenotypic transition and in human atherosclerotic disease.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              The second article I want to share is titled Destabilization of Atherosclerotic Plaque by Bilirubin Deficiency. This article is coming from the Heart Research Institute and the corresponding author is Roland Stocker. The rupture of atherosclerotic plaque contributes significantly to cardiovascular disease. Plasma concentrations of bilirubin, a byproduct of heme catabolism, is inversely associated with risk of cardiovascular disease, but the link between bilirubin and atherosclerosis is unknown.   Chen et el addressed this gap by crossing a bilirubin knockout mice to a atherosclerosis prone APOe knockout mouse. Chen et el addressed this gap by crossing the bilirubin knockout mouse to the atherosclerosis-prone APOE knockout mouse, and used the tandem stenosis model of plaque instability to address this question. Compared with their litter mate controls, bilirubin-APOE double knockouts showed signs of increased systemic oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, as well as hyperlipidemia. And they had higher atherosclerotic plaque burden.   Hemeatabolism was increased in unstable plaques compared with stable plaques in both of these groups as well as in human coronary arteries. In mice, the bilirubin deletion selectively destabilized unstable plaques and this was characterized by positive arterial remodeling and increased cap thinning, intra plaque hemorrhage, infiltration of neutrophils and MPO activity. Subsequent proteomics analysis confirmed bilirubin deletion enhanced extracellular matrix degradation, recruitment and activation of neutrophils and associated oxidative stress in the unstable plaque. Thus, bilirubin deficiency generates a pro atherogenic phenotype and selectively enhances neutrophil-mediated inflammation and destabilization of unstable plaques, thereby providing a link between bilirubin and cardiovascular disease risk.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              The third article I want to share is titled Integrated Proteomics Unveils Regulation of Cardiac Monocyte Hypertrophic Growth by a Nuclear Cyclic AMP Nano Domain under the Control of PDE3A. This study is coming from the University of Oxford in the lab of Manuela Zaccolo. Cyclic AMP is a critically important secondary messenger downstream from a myriad of signaling receptors on the cell surface. Signaling by cyclic AMP is organized in multiple distinct subcellular nano domains, regulated by cyclic AMP hydrolyzing phosphodiesterases or PDEs.   The cardiac beta adrenergic signaling has served as the prototypical system to elucidate this very complex cyclic AMP compartmentalization. Although studies in cardiac monocytes have provided an understanding of the location and the properties of a handful of these subcellular domains, an overview of the cellular landscape of the cyclic AMP nano domains is missing.   To understand the nanodynamics, Subramanian et al combined an integrated phospho proteomics approach that took advantage of the unique role that individual phosphodiesterases play in the control of local cyclic AMP. They combined this with network analysis to identify previously unrecognized cyclic AMP nano domains associated with beta adrenergic stimulation. They found that indeed this integrated phospho proteomics approach could successfully pinpoint the location of these signaling domains and it provided crucial cues to determine the function of previously unknown cyclic AMP nano domains.   The group characterized one such cellular compartment in detail and they showed that the phosphodiesterase PDE3A2 isoform operates in a nuclear nano domain that involves SMAD4 and HDAC1. Inhibition of PDE3 resulted in an increased HDAC1 phosphorylation, which led to an inhibition of its deacetylase activity, and thus derepression of gene transcription and cardiac monocyte hypertrophic growth. These findings reveal a very unique mechanism that explains the negative long-term consequences observed in patients with heart failure treated with PDE3 inhibitors.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              The April 14th issue is our compendium on Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Complications in Chronic Kidney Disease. Dr Heidi Noels from the University of Aachen is our guest editor of the 11 articles in this issue. Chronic kidney disease is defined by kidney damage or a reduced kidney filtration function. Chronic kidney disease is a highly prevalent condition affecting over 13% of the population worldwide and its progressive nature has devastating effects on patient health. At the end stage of kidney disease, patients depend on dialysis or kidney transplantation for survival. However, less than 1% of CKD patients will reach this end stage of chronic kidney disease. Instead, most of them with moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease will prematurely die and most often they die from cardiovascular disease. And this highlights the extreme cardiovascular burden patients with CKD have.   The titles of the articles in this compendium are the Cardio Kidney Patient Epidemiology, Clinical Characteristics, and Therapy by Nicholas Marx, the Innate Immunity System in Patients with Cardiovascular and Kidney Disease by Carmine Zoccali et al. NETs Induced Thrombosis Impacts on Cardiovascular and Chronic Kidney disease by Yvonne Doering et al. Accelerated Vascular Aging and Chronic Kidney Disease, The Potential for Novel Therapies by Peter Stenvinkel et al. Endothelial Cell Dysfunction and Increased Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease by Heidi Noels et al. Cardiovascular Calcification Heterogeneity in Chronic Kidney Disease by Claudia Goettsch et al. Fibrosis in Pathobiology of Heart and Kidney From Deep RNA Sequencing to Novel Molecular Targets by Raphael Kramann et al. Cardiac Metabolism and Heart Failure and Implications for Uremic Cardiomyopathy by P. Christian Schulze et al. Hypertension as Cardiovascular Risk Factor in Chronic Kidney Disease by Michael Burnier et al. Role of the Microbiome in Gut, Heart, Kidney crosstalk by Griet Glorieux et al, and Use of Computation Ecosystems to Analyze the Kidney Heart Crosstalk by Joachim Jankowski et al.   These reviews were written by leading investigators in the field, and the editors of Circulation Research hope that this comprehensive undertaking stimulates further research into the path flow of physiological kidney-heart crosstalk, and on comorbidities and intra organ crosstalk in general.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              So for our interview portion of the episode I have with me Dr Elizabeth Tarling and Dr Bethan Clifford. And Dr Tarling is an associate professor in the Department of Medicine in cardiology at UCLA, and Dr Clifford is a postdoctoral fellow with the Tarling lab. And today we're going to be discussing their manuscript that's titled, RNF130 Regulates LDLR Availability and Plasma LDL Cholesterol Levels. So thank you both so much for joining me today.   Elizabeth Tarling:             Thank you for having us.   Bethan Clifford:               Yeah, thanks for having us. This is exciting.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              I guess first, Liz, how did you get into this line of research? I guess, before we get into that, I should disclose. Liz, we are friends and we've worked together in the ATVB Women's Leadership Committee. So full disclosure here, that being said, the editorial board votes on these articles, so it's not just me picking my friends. But it is great to have you here. So how did you enter this field, I guess, briefly?   Elizabeth Tarling:             Yeah, well briefly, I mean my training right from doing my PhD in the United Kingdom in the University of Nottingham has always been on lipid metabolism, lipoprotein biology with an interest in liver and cardiovascular disease. So broadly we've always been interested in this area and this line of research. And my postdoctoral research was on atherosclerosis and lipoprotein metabolism. And this project came about through a number of different unique avenues, but really because we were looking for regulators of LDL biology and plasma LDL cholesterol, that's sort of where the interest of the lab lies.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              Excellent. And Bethan, you came to UCLA from the UK. Was this a topic you were kind of dabbling in before or was it all new for you?   Bethan Clifford:               It was actually all completely new for me. So yeah, I did my PhD at the same university as Liz and when I started looking for postdocs, I was honestly pretty adamant that I wanted to stay clear away from lipids and lipid strategy. And then it wasn't until I started interviewing and meeting people and I spoke to Liz and she really sort of convinced me of the excitement and that the interest and all the possibilities of working with lipids and well now I won't go back, to be honest.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              And now here you are. Well-   Bethan Clifford:               Exactly.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              ... congrats on a wonderful study. So LDLR, so low density lipoprotein receptor, it's a major determinant of plasmid LDL cholesterol levels. And hopefully most of us know and appreciate that that is really a major contributor and a major risk for the development of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. And I think one thing people may not really appreciate, which your study kind of introduces and talks about nicely, is the role of the liver, right? And the role of receptor mediated endocytosis in regulating plasma cholesterol levels. And so before we kind of chat about the nitty-gritty of your study, could you just give us a brief summary of these key parts between plasma LDL, the LDL receptor and where it goes in your body?   Elizabeth Tarling:             Yeah. So the liver expresses 70% to 80% of the body's LDL receptor. So it's the major determinant of plasma lipoprotein plasma LDL cholesterol levels. And through groundbreaking work by Mike Brown and Joe Goldstein at the University of Texas, they really define this receptor mediated endocytosis by the liver and the LDL receptor by looking at patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. So those patients have mutations in the LDL receptor and they either express one functional copy or no functional copies of the LDL receptor and they have very, very large changes in plasma LDL cholesterol. And they have severe increases in cardiovascular disease risk and occurrence and diseases associated with elevated levels of cholesterol within the blood and within different tissues. And so that's sort of how the liver really controls plasma LDL cholesterol is through this receptor mediated endocytosis of the lipoprotein particle.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              There's several drugs now that can help regulate our cholesterol levels. So there's statins which block that rate limiting step of cholesterol biosynthesis, but there's this new generation of therapies, the PCSK9 inhibitors. And can you just give us a summary or a quick rundown of what are those key differences really? What is the key mechanism of action that these therapies are going after and is there room for more improvement?   Bethan Clifford:               Yeah, sure. So I mean I think you've touched on something that's really key about the LDR receptor is that it's regulated at so many different levels. So we have medications available that target the production of cholesterol and then as you mentioned this newer generation of things like PCSK9 inhibitors that sort of try and target LDL at the point of clearance from the plasma.   And in response to your question of is there room for more regulation, I would say that given the sort of continual rate of increased cholesterol in the general population and the huge risks associated with elevated cholesterol, there's always capacity for more to improve that and sort of generally improve the health of the population. And what we sort of found particularly exciting about RNF130 is that it's a distinct pathway from any of these regulatory mechanisms. So it doesn't regulate the level of transcription, it doesn't regulate PCSK9. Or in response to PCSK9, it's a completely independent pathway that could sort of improve or add to changes in cholesterol.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              So your study, it's focusing on the E3 ligase, RNF130. What is an E3 ligase, and why was this particular one of interest to you? How did you come across it?   Elizabeth Tarling:             is predTates Bethan joining the lab. This is, I think, again for the listeners and those people in training, I think it's really important to note this project has been going in the lab for a number of years and has really... Bethan was the one who came in and really took charge and helped us round it out. But it wasn't a quick find or a quick story. It had a lot of nuances to it. But we were interested in looking for new regulators of LDL cholesterol and actually through completely independent pathways we had found the RNF130 locus as being associated with LDL cholesterol in animals. And then it came out in a very specific genome-wide association study in the African American care study, the NHLBI care study. And so really what we started looking at, we didn't even know what it was.   Elizabeth Tarling:             So we asked ourselves, well what is this gene? What is this protein? And it's RNF, so that's ring finger containing protein 130 and ring stands for really interesting new gene. Somebody came up with the glorious name. But proteins that contain this ring domain are very characteristic and they are E3 ubiquitin ligases. And so they conjugate the addition of ubiquitin to a target protein and that signals for that protein to either be internalized and/or degraded through different decorative pathways within the cell. And so we didn't land on it because we were looking at E3 ligases, we really came at it from an LDL cholesterol perspective. And it was something that we hadn't worked on before and the study sort of blossomed from there.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              That's amazing and a beautiful, but also, I'm sure, heartbreaking story because these long projects are just... They're bears. So what does this RNF130 do to LDLR? What'd you guys find?   Bethan Clifford:               As Liz said, this is a long process, but one of the key factors of RNF130 is it's structurally characteristically looked like E3 ligase. So the first thing that Liz did and then I followed up with in the lab is to see is this E3 ligase ubiquitinating in vitro. And if it is going to ubiquitinate, what's it likely to regulate that might cause changes in plasma cholesterol that would explain these human genetic links that we saw published at the same time.   And so because the LDL cholesterol is predominantly regulated by the LDL receptor and the levels of it at the surface of the parasites in the liver, the first question we wanted to see is does RNF130 interact in any way with that pathway? And I'm giving you the brief view here of the LDL receptor. We obviously tested lots of different receptors. We tested lots of different endocytose receptors and lipid regulators, but the LDL receptor is the one that we saw could be ubiquitinated by RNF130 in vitro. And so then we wanted to sort of go on from there and establish, okay, if this E3 ubiquitin ligase, is it regulating LDL receptor? What does that mean in an animal context in terms of regulating LDL cholesterol?   Cindy St. Hilaire:              Yeah, and I guess we should also explain, ubiquitination, in terms of this receptor, and I guess related to Goldstein and Brown and receptor mediated endocytosis, like what does that actually mean for the liver cell and the cholesterol in the LDLR that is binding the receptor?   Bethan Clifford:               So yes, ubiquitination is a really common regulatory mechanism actually across all sorts of different cells, all sorts of different receptors and proteins. And basically what it does is it signals for degradation of a protein. So a ubiquitin molecule is conjugated to its target such as in our case the LDL receptor and that ubiquitin tells the cell that this protein is ready for proteasomal degradation. And that's just one of the many things ubiquitination can do. It can also signal for a trafficking event, it can signal for a protein to protein interaction, but it's most commonly associated with the proteasomal degradation.     Cindy St. Hilaire:              So in terms of... I guess I'm thinking in terms of PCSK9, right? So those drugs are stemming from observations in humans, right? There were humans with gain and loss of function mutations, which caused either more or less of this LDLR receptor internalization. How is this RNF130 pathway different from the PCSK9 activities?   Elizabeth Tarling:             Yeah, so PCSK9 is a secreted protein, so it's made by hepatocyte and actually other cells in the body and it's secreted and it binds to the LDL particle, LDL receptor complex, and signals for its internalization and degradation in the proteasome. So this is not ubiquitination event, this is a completely different trafficking event. And so the RNF130, actually what Bethan showed, is it directly ubiquitinates the LDL receptor itself, signaling for an internalization event and then ultimately degradation of the LDR receptor through a decorative pathway, which we also define in the study.   So these are two unique mechanisms and actually some key studies that we did in the paper were to modulate RNF130 in animals that do not have PCSK9. And so in that system where in the absence of PCSK9 you have a lot of LDR receptor in the liver that's internalizing cholesterol. What happens when you overexpress RNF130? Do you still regulate at the LDL receptor? And you absolutely do. And so that again suggests that they're two distinct mechanisms and two distinct pathways.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              That was one thing I really loved about your paper is every kind of figure or section, the question that would pop up in my head, even ones that didn't pop in my head were beautifully answered with some of these really nice animal models, which is never an easy thing, right? And so one of the things that you brought up was difficulty in making one of the animal models. And so I'm wondering if you could share a little bit for that challenge. I think one thing that we always tend to hide is just science is hard and a lot of what we do doesn't work. And I really think especially for the trainees and really everyone out there, if we kind of share these things more, it's better. So what was one of the most challenging things in this study? And I guess I'm thinking about that floxed animal.   Elizabeth Tarling:             Yeah, so I'll speak a bit about that and then I'll let Bethan address because she was really the one on the ground doing a lot of the struggles. But again, we actually weren't going to include this information in the paper. And upon discussion and actually prompted by the reviewers of the paper and some of the questions that they asked us, we realized, you know what? It's actually really important to show this and show that this happens and that there are ways around it.   And so the first story is before Bethan even arrived in the lab, we had purchased embryonic stem cells that were knockout first condition already. And so this is a knockout strategy in which the exon of interest is flanked with lots of P sites so that you can create a flox animal, but also so you can create a whole body knockout just by the insertion of this knockout first cassette.   Elizabeth Tarling:             And so we got those mice actually in the first year of Bethan joining the lab. We finally got the chimeric mice and we were able to stop reading those mice. And at the same time we tried to generate our flox animals so that we could move on to do tissue-specific studies. And Bethan can talk about the pain associated with this. But over two years of breeding, we never got the right genotypes from the different crosses that you need to do to generate the flox animal.   And it was actually in discussions with Bethan where we decided we need to go back. We need to go back to those ESLs that we purchased five years ago and we need to figure out if all of the elements that the quality control step had told us were in place are actually present. And so Bethan went back and sequenced the whole locus and the cassette to figure out what pieces were present and we found that one of the essential locks P sites that's required for every single cross from the initial animal was absent and therefore we could actually never make the mouse we wanted to make.   And so that's sort of just a lesson for people going down that route and making these tools that we need in the lab to answer these questions is that despite paying extra money and getting all of the sort of QCs that you can get before you receive the ESLs, we should have gone back and done our own housekeeping and sort of a long journey told us when we went back that we didn't have what we thought we had at the beginning. And that was a real sticking point as Bethan can-   Cindy St. Hilaire:              Yeah. And so you know you're not alone. My very first postdoc that I did, I went with a mouse that they had also bought and were guaranteed that it was a knockout and it was not. And it is a painful lesson, but it is critical to... You get over it.   So Bethan, maybe you can also tell us a little bit about what are the other kind of next things you tried? You pivoted and you pivoted beautifully because all the models you used I thought were quite elegant in terms of exactly asking the question you wanted to ask in the right cells. So can you maybe explain some of the in vivo models you used for this study?   Bethan Clifford:               Sure, there are definitely a lot. So I mean I think Liz sort of encapsulated the trouble we have with the knockout really succinctly, but actually I want to just take this moment to sort of shout out to another postdoc in the Tarling lab, Kelsey Jarrett, who was really instrumental in the pivoting to a different model. So for the knockouts when we sort of established we didn't have exactly what we thought we did and then to compound that we also weren't getting the DeLiAn ratios breeding this whole body knockout.   We wanted to sort of look at a more transient knockout model. And that's where Kelsey really stepped in and sort of led the way and she generated AAV-CRISPR for us to target RNF130 specifically in the liver. And that had the added beauty of, one, not requiring breeding to get over this hurdle of the knockout being somewhat detrimental to breeding. But it also allowed us to ask the question of what RNF130 is doing specifically in the liver where the liver regulates LDL receptor and LDL cholesterol.   And so that was one of the key models that really, really helped get this paper over the finish line. But we did a whole barrage of experiments, as you've seen. We wanted to make sure... One of the key facets of the Tarling lab is whenever you do anything, no matter what you show Liz, it will always be, "Okay, you showed it to me one way, now show it to me a different way." Can you get the same result coming at it from different ways? And if you can't, why is that? What is the regulation behind that? And so that's really what the paper is doing is asking the same question in as many ways as we can accurately and appropriately probe what RNF130 does to the LDR receptor.   So we tried gain of function studies without adenovirus overexpression. We tried transient knockdown with antisense oligonucleotides, and then we did, as I said, the AAV-CRISPR knockdown with the help of Kelsey and our whole body knockout. And then we also repeated some of these studies such as the adenovirus and the ASO in specific genetic backgrounds. So in the absence of PCSK9, can we still regulate the LDL receptor? And then we also, just to really confirm this, in the absence of the LDL receptor, do we see a difference? And the answer is no, because this effect was really dependent on that LDL receptor being present. So there was a big combination.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              It was really nice, really a beautiful step-wise progression of how to solidly answer this question. But a lot of, I think, almost all you did was in mice. And so what is the genetic evidence for relevancy in humans? Can you discuss a little bit about those databases that you then went to to investigate, is this relevant in humans?   Bethan Clifford:               I think Liz might be better off answering that question.   Elizabeth Tarling:             And I think this sort of pivots on what Bethan was saying. So when we had struggles in the lab, it was a team environment and a collaboration between people in the lab that allowed us to make that leap and make those next experiments possible to then really answer that question. And to be able to include the antisense oligonucleotides required a collaboration with industry. We were very lucky to have a longstanding collaboration with Ionis, who provided the antisense oligonucleotides.   And for the human genetics side of things, that also was a collaboration with Marcus Seldin, who was a former postdoc with Jake Lusis and is now our PI at UC Irvine. And what he helped us do is dive into those summary level databases and ask from that initial study in the NHLBI care population, do we see associations of RNF130 expression in humans with LDL cholesterol with cardiovascular outcomes. And so one database which I would recommend everybody use, it's publicly available, is the StarNet database. And it's in the paper and the website is there. And that allowed us to search for RNF130.   Elizabeth Tarling:             And what it does is it asks how RNF130 expression in different tissues is associated with cardiometabolic outcomes and actual in CAD cases and controls, so people with and without heart disease. And we found that expression of RNF130 in the liver was extremely strongly correlated with the occurrence of cardiovascular disease in people with CAD. So in cases versus controls. And then we were also able to find many other polymorphisms in the RNF130 locus that were associated with LDL cholesterol in multiple different studies.   And I think the other message from this paper is this, unlike PCSK9 and unlike LDR receptor itself, which are single gene mutations that cause cardiovascular disease, there are many sub genome-wide significant loci that contribute to this multifactorial disease, which is extremely complex. And I think RNF130 falls within that bracket that those sort of just on the borderline of being genome-wide significant still play significant biological roles in regulating these processes. And they don't come up as a single gene hit for a disease, but combinatorialy they are associated with increased risk of disease and they have a molecular mechanism that's associated with the disease. And so that's what Marcus helped us do in terms of the human genetics is really understand that and get down to that level of data.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              Yeah. Yeah, it really makes you want to go back and look at those. Everyone always focuses on that really high peak and those analyses, but what are all those other ones above the noise, right? So it's really important.   Elizabeth Tarling:             I think it's really hard to do that. I think that's one where people... Again, it comes down to team science and the group of people that we brought together allowed us to ask that molecular question about how that signal was associated with the phenotype. I think by ourselves we wouldn't have been able to do it.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              Yeah. So your antisense oligonucleotide experiments, they were really nice. They showed, I think it was a four-week therapy, they showed that when you injected them expression of RNF130 went down by 90%. I think cholesterol in the animals was lowered by 50 points or so. Is this kind of a next viable option? And I guess related to that, cholesterol's extremely important for everything, right? Cell membrane integrity, our neurons, all sorts of things. Is it possible with something that is perhaps really as powerful as this to make cholesterol too low?   Elizabeth Tarling:             I think that what we know from PCSK9 gain and loss of function mutations is that you can drop your plasma cholesterol to very low levels and still be okay because there are people walking around with mutations that do that. I think RNF130 is a little different in that it's clearly regulatory in a homeostatic function in that it's ubiquitously expressed and it has this role in the liver to regulate LDL receptor availability, but there are no homozygous loss of function mutants people walking around, which tells us something else about how important it is in potentially other tissues and in other pathways. And we've only just begun to uncover what those roles might be.   So I think that as a therapy, it has great potential. We need to do a lot more studies to sort of move from rodent models into more preclinical models. But I do think that the human data tell us that it's really important in other places too. And so yeah, we need to think about how best it might work as a therapy. If it's combinatorial, if it's dosed. Those are the types of things that we need to think about.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              Yeah, it's really exciting. Do you know, are there other protein targets of RNF130? Is that related to my next question of what is next?   Elizabeth Tarling:             I mean, so I should point out, so Bethan unfortunately left the lab last year for a position at Amgen where she's working on obesity and metabolic disease. But before she left, she did two very, very cool experiments searching for new targets or additional targets of RNF130. Starting in the liver, but hopefully we'll move those into other tissues. And so she did gain of function RNF130 versus what loss of function we have of RNF130, and she did specific mass spec analysis of proteins that are ubiquitinated in those different conditions. And by overlaying those data sets, we're hoping to carve out new additional targets of RNF130. And there are some, and they're in interesting pathways, which we have yet to completely test, but definitely there are additional pathways, at least when you overexpress and reduce expression. Now, whether they turn out to be, again, bonafide in vivo, actual targets that are biologically meaningful is sort of the next step.   Cindy St. Hilaire:              Yeah. Well, I'm sure with your very rigorous approach, you are going to find out and hopefully we'll see it here in the future. Dr Elizabeth Tarling and Dr Bethan Clifford, thank you so much for joining me today. I really enjoyed this paper. It's a beautiful study. I think it's a beautiful example, especially for trainees about kind of thoroughly and rigorously going through and trying to test your hypothesis.

This week, please join author Mads Liisberg and Guest Host Mercedes Carnethon as they discuss the article "Clinical Characteristics, Incidences, and Mortality Rates for Type A and B Aortic Dissections: A Nationwide Danish Population-Based Cohort Study from 1996 to 2016." Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. We're your co-host. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, Associate Editor from the National Heart Center and Duke, National University of Singapore. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr. Greg Hundley, Associate Editor, Director of the Poly Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Greg, today's feature paper is about aortic dissections and it's the first nationwide population based study investigating the clinical characteristic, incidents, and mortality based on validated diagnosis of aortic dissection in a national patient registry. You want to hear more? Well, you have to just keep listening. Let's go on though first to discuss the other really important papers in today's issue, shall we? Dr. Greg Hundley: Absolutely. Dr. Carolyn Lam: You know what, Greg? I'm going to start while you grab a coffee. I want to talk about high sensitivity cardiac troponins and how they have allowed the use of strategies in the emergency department, for example, to rapidly rule out acute MI within one to three hours and potentially facilitate early discharge of low-risk patients. Now, the ability to rapidly rule out MI of course depends on the turnaround time of these high sensitivity cardiac troponin results from the central laboratory, which is often delayed due to specimen transport and handling and all these things. So, point-of-care assays can reduce this turnaround time by even 40 minutes, and early studies have actually used frozen plasma bio banks to assess these point-of-care assays... But no study has evaluated these point-of-care assays with fresh whole blood to safely rule out MI in the emergency department. That is until today's paper. So in today's study led by corresponding other Doctor Fred Apple from Hennepin Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota and his team, they aimed to derive and validate an optimal high sensitivity cardiac troponin threshold concentration using whole blood point-of-care troponin eye assay on a single sample at presentation in the emergency department to identify patients at low risk of index MI for potential early discharge. Dr. Greg Hundley: Fascinating study Carolyn. So point-of-care testing, high sensitivity troponin from whole blood in the ED. So what did they find? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Among consecutive emergency department patients from two prospective observational studies with suspected acute coronary syndrome, a point-of-care, whole blood, high sensitivity cardiac troponin eye assay, the Atellica VTli provided a sensitivity of 98.9% and a negative predictive value of 99.5% for ruling out MI. A single measurement using a cutoff of less than four nanograms per liter for whole blood was successful in rapidly identifying patients at low risk of MI cardiac and all cause death and unplanned revascularization at 30 days. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice Carolyn, and could be quite practical. So Carolyn, my next paper comes to us from the world of preclinical science and it pertains to cardiac regeneration. So cardiac regeneration after injury is limited by the low proliferative capacity of adult mammalian cardiomyocytes. However, certain animals readily regenerate lost myocardium via process involving dedifferentiation, which unlocks their proliferative capacities. So inspired by this concept, these investigators led by Professor Patrick Hsieh from Academic Sinica, generated mice with inducible cardiomyocyte specific expression of the Yamanaka factors enabling adult cardiomyocyte reprogramming and dedifferentiation in vivo. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow. So what did they find, Greg? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So two days following induction, adult cardiomyocytes presented with a dedifferentiated phenotype, an increase proliferation in vivo. Microarray analysis revealed that the up-regulation of ketogenesis was central to this process. Now adenovirus driven HMGCS2 over-expression induced ketogenesis in adult cardiomyocytes and recapitulated cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and proliferation observed during partial reprogramming. This same phenomenon was found to occur after myocardial infarction, specifically in the border zone tissue. And HMGCS2 knockout mice showed impaired cardiac function and response to injury, and so in summary, Carolyn, these data demonstrated the importance of HMGCS2 induced ketogenesis as a means to regulate metabolic response to cardiomyocyte injury, thus allowing cell dedifferentiation and proliferation as a regenerative response. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow, that's so cool. From cell regeneration to autoimmunity in this next paper. Now autoimmunity is increasingly recognized as a key contributing factor in heart muscle diseases. However, the functional features of cardiac autoimmunity in humans remain undefined due to the challenge of studying immune responses in situ. Now, these authors previously described a subset of c-Met expressing memory T lymphocytes, which preferentially migrate to cardiac tissue in mice and humans. In today's study, these authors led by co-corresponding authors, Dr. Federica Marielli-Berg and Saidi Mohidden from William Harvey Research Institute, Barts and the London Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, and Queen Mary University of London, and their colleagues performed in-depth phenotyping of peripheral blood T cells in groups of patients with inflammatory and non-inflammatory cardiomyopathies, patients with non-cardiac autoimmunity and healthy controls... And they found that c-Met positive T cells were selectively increased in the circulation and in the myocardium of patients with inflammatory cardiomyopathies. The phenotype and function of c-Met positive T-cells were distinct from c-Met negative T cells, including preferential proliferation to cardiac myosin and co-production of multiple cytokines. Further, circulating c-Met positive T cell subpopulations in different heart muscle diseases identified distinct and overlapping mechanisms of heart inflammation. Furthermore, validation studies in experimental autoimmune myocarditis showed that elevations of auto-antigens specific c-Met positive T cells in peripheral blood, marked the loss of immune tolerance to the heart. Importantly, disease development could be halted by pharmacologic c-Met inhibition indicating a positive role for these c-Met positive T cells. Dr. Greg Hundley: All right, Carolyn, as you always ask me. So what's the take home message here? Dr. Carolyn Lam: This study demonstrates that the detection of circulating c-Met positive T cells may have utility in the diagnosis and monitoring of adaptive cardiac inflammation and additionally defined new targets for therapeutic intervention when cardiac autoimmunity causes or contributes to progressive cardiac injury... And this is discussed in an editorial by doctors at Abplanalp, Merten, and Dimmeler. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice, Carolyn. Wow. More fantastic preclinical science. Well, in the mail of the bag today, there is a Research Letter by Professor Burr entitled “Cannabis Inhalation Acutely Reduces Muscle Sympathetic Nerve Activity in Humans.” Dr. Carolyn Lam: There's an ECG Challenge by Dr. Reddy entitled “Shortness of Breath and Near Syncope During Exertion In a Child, When Patient Worry Syndrome.” There's also a Perspective by Dr. Weitz on what is the future of Factor 11 inhibitors. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well Carolyn, I'm looking forward to learning more about aortic dissections and that large Danish population-based study. Wow. Dr. Carolyn Lam: That's great. Let's go Greg. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Well, welcome to this episode of Circulation on the Run. My name is Mercedes Carnethon, an Associate Editor of Circulation, and Professor and Vice Chair of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University. I'm really excited today to be here with the senior author of a really exciting paper that we're featuring on clinical characteristics, incidences and mortality rates for aortic dissections type A and B, a nationwide Danish population-based cohort study, and we have with us today Mads Liisberg. So welcome today. Dr. Mads Liisberg: Thank you. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: So thank you so much for joining us and really thank you for sharing your important research with Circulation. This topic is so critically important, particularly given the high mortality rates associated with aortic dissections. Can you tell us a little bit about the work that you and your co-authors did in this important space? Dr. Mads Liisberg: Yes. Well actually the work originated when I started my PhD thesis and we got a registry data dump from the Danish medical registries and we found that almost none of our patients in the registry were registered with a specific aortic dissection code. So we did a validation study on the same time period from 1999 to 2006 where we went through all these medical records to ensure that we had the right aortic dissection TC 10 codes on population. Then we went a bit further and looked at the clinical characteristics of this patient, 'cause that's one of the really major things about Danish medical registries in our country, is that we have access to not only every patient's specific in hospital contacts, but also their medicine abuse, their drug use based on a TC code. So we can go really deep into each and everyone's drug history. When we did this study, we wanted to find out if the incidence rates during this timeframe had changed, which we find that it did, but also looking at mortality rates because, as you said, it's really high risk disease to be diagnosed with. So that's more the rationale for this study. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you so much for sharing that. Certainly we know that the mortality rates from this are very high. I note that you report some changes over time between 1996 and 2016 in the incidents of these types of aortic dissections. So what did you find about the patterns of change in type A aortic dissections? Dr. Mads Liisberg: We found that it almost doubled from the beginning of our time period to the last, and the question is why is this? 'Cause that's one of the thing that the data doesn't reveal. We are only able to see that the incidence actually rises, but is it because that they are underdiagnosed in the beginning? Or is it because that we are better diagnosing in the end of the study that really are progressed? Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: That's a good question. I noted that when you studied the correlates of aortic dissection, you identified a number of characteristics and what stood out to me was the finding about the strong association of hypertension. I'm less aware of patterns of hypertension in the Danish population. Do you think that the changes in the prevalence of hypertension in the population contributed at all to these findings? Dr. Mads Liisberg: Well, most certainly, 'cause when you look at the prevalence of hypertension throughout any person's lifespan, the older they get the more likely they are to suffer from hypertension, and the Danish population has aged quite a lot in recent years. So I think that's one of the main reasons we find this, and also that most of our arctic dissection patients are actually quite old, which would correlate with hypertension as well. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: One thing I really like, and you pointed this out, is really the richness of the data that you have in your health system, and I wonder, just going even a little deeper on the hypertension question, given that it is the most common medical diagnosis worldwide, were you able to study characteristics of hypertension that would be more strongly associated with aortic dissection? So for example, duration of hypertension, severity, prevalence of hypertension control? Dr. Mads Liisberg: That's actually a funny question 'cause the last study of my thesis, which hasn't been published yet or even submitted for that fact, examines the correlation between use and the risk of arctic dissection. On a very specific level, the way that hypertension is treated mostly in Denmark is with your general practitioner. So the way that we examine in studies like these, is that we look at prescription drug use. So if we find that an individual has a TC codes corresponding with anti-hypertensive drugs, then we are able to code them as hypertensive patients. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Okay, thank you for that. I always... I'm an epidemiologist myself, so I really love to see great population science studies and this registry is large, you have long-term follow up and you've got a great deal of data, but those people who feel as though it's obviously not appropriate to make causal conclusions around epidemiology and that perhaps epidemiologic findings shouldn't be driving clinical decision-making. In response to that, I think I would pose the question to you, which is how do you see clinicians and providers using this information from your observational study? Dr. Mads Liisberg: I think that's rather difficult. One of the findings that we present is to pose it over mortality for type B dissections when we exclude the 30-day mortality, but then we show that type A dissections have almost a corresponding mortality rate compared to a hypertensive cohort... And this finding is difficult to draw any clinical conclusions from, but there's actually a Danish randomized controlled trial just starting up in the next year. I think it's called the Sunday trial, where they will include all uncomplicated type B dissections and randomize them for treatment or no treatment, and the issue here is that you'll probably be over-treating some patients and under-treating others, but this discussion with the uncomplicated type B dissection has been ongoing for so many years. So it's difficult for me to just give one golden answer. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Certainly, and I appreciate the caution as we certainly don't want to overstep our findings. You did make a recommendation in the conclusion that it might be beneficial to treat type B aortic dissections more aggressively. Is this what you're alluding to, based on the other study that you're referencing? Dr. Mads Liisberg: Yes, yes, definitely. We see some clinicians being more cautious treating type B dissections with a TIVA or a surgery. So it's a difficult thing when they're uncomplicated, why treat them? But they can't be or become complicated quite easily and fast and then it's a difficult thing, because should you have treated them earlier? Or do you need to treat them now in their acute phase? Or wait for a chronic phase? It's a really good question. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: No, I appreciate that and what I really love are the types of research studies that leave you with many more questions and next steps, and so I would like to really sort of bring us to a close with the big picture question, which is what do you see as the next steps in this line of research, given really what we all agree on is a very significant clinical problem. Dr. Mads Liisberg: We would really like to expand our database with even more clinical data as of now and include any image diagnostics for our cohort. So we're might be able to see any trends in our modulation before the dissection occurs. If any of our patients have any diagnostics done prior to being diagnosed. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: I really want to thank you today for spending time talking with us. I know that our readers rarely have an opportunity to hear from everybody behind the scenes views on what the rationale was for carrying out a paper and really how the authors themselves hope that the paper will be used. So I really thank you for sharing that with us today, Matts, on behalf of your co-authors, this has been really a wonderful conversation, and thank you again for sharing your research with the journal, Circulation. Dr. Mads Liisberg: Oh, thank you for having me in for accepting our paper. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: So thank you so much to our listeners for listening to us on this episode of Circulation on the Run.

Certified wildlife tracker Sage Raymond, is completing her Masters of Science studying Urban-adapted Coyote ecologies in Edmonton. She has been working with colleagues on the Edmonton Urban Coyote Project studying the patterns and behaviours of these urbanized Coyotes in hopes to be better able to predict, and reduce some of the possible problems or conflicts which could occur between these wilder animals and human/pet populations. Additionally, we talk about the use of tracking as a useful, non-invasive tool for studying wildlife, novel non-native zoonotic diseases (potentially lethal tapeworms!!) which are infecting the Coyotes and the implications that has for co-habiting human populations. Studies Sage mentioned in the interview: E. multilocularis is especially prevalent in Edmonton/ Alberta: "Helminth parasites and zoonotic risk associated with urban coyotes (Canis latrans) in Alberta, Canada."; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30588908/ Example of news article about this parasite in Alberta: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/tapeworm-echinococcus-multilocularis-alberta-klein-calgary-veterinarian-disease-coyotes-dogs-1.5224864 Example of the coyote downward spiral where bad food bad health bad behaviour: "Greater consumption of protein-poor anthropogenic food by urban relative to rural coyotes increases diet breadth and potential for human-wildlife conflict" ; https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ecog.01128 Coyotes that eat anthropogenic food have different microbiomes: "An altered microbiome in urban coyotes mediates relationships between anthropogenic diet and poor health" Example of Echinococcosis through a One Health Lens: "Neglected Zoonoses and the Missing Opportunities for One Health Education: The Case of Cystic Echinococcosis among Surgically Operated Patients in Basrah, Southern Iraq" A great, great paper showing that physicians are on top of their stuff!: Epidemiological and Clinical Characteristics of Alveolar Echinococcosis: An Emerging Infectious Disease in Alberta, Canada

In this episode, Dr. Grady and Garrett attempt to clear up the question, "what does it mean to be "immune compromised"? As diabetics we are often told that we are immune compromised or immune deficient, but is it that simple? Simply diabetic, does automatically mean we are immune compromised? We address these questions and attempt to provide a more complete picture of the immune system in relation to fighting off disease, and the many body systems that work with your immune system to get the job done. They also talk about various factors that can suppress the immune system and its ability to fight infections.
