    Abstract The pulmonary myocardium is a muscular coat surrounding the pulmonary and caval veins. Although its definitive physiological function is unknown, it may have a pathological role as the source of ectopic beats initiating atrial fibrillation. How the pulmonary myocardium gains pacemaker function is not clearly defined, although recent evidence indicates that changed transcriptional gene expression networks are at fault. The gene expression profile of this distinct cell type

    Abstract Different genes encode the α-actin isoforms that are predominantly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. Mutations in the skeletal muscle α-actin gene (ACTA1) cause muscle diseases that are mostly lethal in the early postnatal period. We previously demonstrated that the disease phenotype of ACTA1 mouse models could be rescued by transgenic over-expression of cardiac α-actin (ACTC1). ACTC1 is the predominant striated α-actin isoform in the heart but is also expressed in developing skeletal muscle. To develop a translatable therapy, we investigated the genetic regulation of Actc1 expression. Using strains from The Collaborative Cross (CC) genetic resource, we found that Actc1 varies in expression by up to 24-fold in skeletal muscle. We defined significant expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) associated with early adult Actc1 expression in soleus and heart. eQTL in both heart and soleus mapped to the Actc1 locus and replicate an eQTL mapped for Actc1 in BXD heart and quadriceps. We built on this previous work by analysing genes within the eQTL peak regions to prioritise likely candidates for modifying Actc1 expression. Additionally we interrogated the CC founder haplotype contributions to enable prioritisation of genetic variants for functional analyses. Methylation around the Actc1 transcriptional start site in early adult skeletal muscle negatively correlated with Actc1 expression in a strain-dependent manner, while other marks of regulatory potential (histone modification and chromatin accessibility) were unaltered. This study provides novel insights into the complex genetic regulation of Actc1 expression in early adult skeletal muscles.

    Abstract A series of acylthiourea derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for broad-spectrum antiviral activity with selected viruses from Poxviridae (vaccinia virus) and two different genera of the family Bunyaviridae (Rift Valley fever and La Crosse viruses). A compound selected from a library screen, compound 1, displayed submicromolar antiviral activity against both vaccinia virus (EC(50)=0.25 μM) and La Crosse virus (EC(50)=0.27 μM) in cytopathic effect (CPE) assays. SAR analysis was performed to further improve antiviral potency and to optimize drug-like properties of the initial hits. During our analysis, we identified 26, which was found to be nearly fourfold more potent than 1 against both vaccinia and La Crosse viruses. Selected compounds were further tested to more fully characterize the spectrum of antiviral activity. Many of these possessed single digit micromolar and sub-micromolar antiviral activity against a diverse array of targets, including influenza virus (Orthomyxoviridae), Tacaribe virus (Arenaviridae), and dengue virus (Flaviviridae).
