The activation of the cannabinoid receptor type 2 reduces neutrophilic protease-mediated vulnerability in atherosclerotic plaques

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Katia Galan, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Luciano Dos Santos Aggum Capettini

The activation of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2)-mediated pathways might represent a promising anti-atherosclerotic treatment. Here, we investigated the expression of the endocannabinoid system in human carotid plaques and the impact of CB2 pharmacologi ...

Two mutations in human BICC1 resulting in Wnt pathway hyperactivity associated with cystic renal dysplasia

Daniel Constam, Marine Marie Kraus, Anne Grapin-Botton

Bicaudal C homologue 1 (Bicc1) knockout in mice causes polycystic kidney disease and pancreas development defects, including a reduction in insulin-producing β-cells and ensuing diabetes. We therefore screened 137 patients with renal abnormalities or assoc ...

Classification of magnetic resonance images from rabbit renal perfusion

Dominique Bonvin, Michael Amrhein, Pamandeep Singh Gujral

The feasibility of using chemometric techniques for the automatic detection of whether a rabbit kidney is pathological or not is studied. Sequential images of the kidney are acquired using Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging with contrast ...

Regulation of arginase pathway in response to wall shear stress

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Paolo Silacci, Tyler Nerton Thacher, Veronica Gambillara, Fabienne Riche

Alterations of wall shear stress can predispose the endothelium to the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Ample evidence indicates that arginase expression and/or activity correlates with several risk factors for cardiovascular disease including ather ...

Effect of elastin degradation on carotid wall mechanics as assessed by a constituent-based biomechanical model

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Sylvain Roy, Luca Augsburger, Edouard Fonck, Gilles Prod'Hom

Arteries display a nonlinear anisotropic behavior dictated by the elastic properties and structural arrangement of its main constituents, elastin, collagen, and vascular smooth muscle. Elastin provides for structural integrity and for the compliance of the ...

Role of arginase pathway in response to shear stress: new potential therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis?

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Veronica Gambillara

Introduction: Alterations of wall shear stress can predispose the endothelium to the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Ample evidence indicates that arginase expression and/or activity correlates with several risk factors for cardiovascular disease i ...

Pathological mineralization of cardiac valves: Causes and mechanism

Philippe Buffat, Elena Suvorova Buffat

Objective. Mechanism of calcification of cardiac valves was investigated through a comparative characterization of structure, morphology, and size of hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystals formed in mineral deposit on cardiac valves, bone tissue, and crystals synth ...

Arterial wall response to ex vivo exposure to oscillatory shear stress

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Paolo Silacci, Veronica Gambillara

The aim of this study was to analyze the arterial wall response to plaque-prone hemodynamic environments, known to occur mainly in areas of arterial trees such as bifurcations and branching points. In these areas, the vasculature is exposed to cyclically r ...

A strain energy function for arteries accounting for wall composition and structure

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Martin Zulliger

Identification of a Strain Energy Function (SEF) is used when describing the complex mechanical properties of soft biological tissues such as the arterial wall. Classic SEFs, such as the one proposed by Chuong and Fung (J. Biomech. Eng. 105(3) (1983) 268), ...
