    Abstract Hypertension is a major contributor to worldwide morbidity and mortality rates related to cardiovascular disease. There are important sex differences in the onset and rate of hypertension in humans. Compared with age-matched men, premenopausal women are less likely to develop hypertension. However, after age 60, the incidence of hypertension increases in women and even surpasses that seen in older men. It is thought that changes in levels of circulating ovarian hormones as women age may be involved in the increase in hypertension in older women. One of the key mechanisms involved in the development of hypertension in both men and women is an increase in sympathetic nerve activity (SNA). Brain regions important for the regulation of SNA, such as the subfornical organ, the paraventricular nucleus and the rostral ventral lateral medulla, also express specific subtypes of oestrogen receptors. Each of these brain regions has also been implicated in mechanisms underlying risk factors for hypertension such as obesity, stress and inflammation. The present review brings together evidence that links actions of oestrogen at these receptors to modulate some of the common brain mechanisms involved in the ability of hypertensive risk factors to increase SNA and blood pressure. Understanding the mechanisms by which oestrogen acts at key sites in the brain for the regulation of SNA is important for the development of novel, sex-specific therapies for treating hypertension.

    Abstract Research question: What is the genetic cause of sporadic and recurrent pregnancy loss and does the frequency and nature of chromosomal abnormalities play a role? Types and frequency of all identifiable chromosomal abnormalities were determined to inform our understanding, medical management and recurrence risk for patients experiencing pregnancy loss.
    Design: Genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism-based chromosomal microarray (SNP-CMA) were used to evaluate 24,900 products of conception samples from various forms of pregnancy losses.
    Results: Sporadic miscarriage (64.7%) or recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) (22%) were the most common referrals. Clinically significant abnormalities were observed in 55.8% (13,910) of samples, variants of uncertain significance in 1.8%, and normal results in 42.4%. In addition to autosomal trisomies (in 36% of samples), polyploidy and large segmental imbalances were identified in 7.8% and 2.8% of samples, respectively. Analysis of sequential samples from 1103 patients who had experienced RPL provided important insight into possible predispositions to RPL.
    Conclusions: This expansive chromosomal microarray analyses of pregnancy loss samples illuminates our understanding of the full spectrum, relative frequencies and the role of genomic abnormalities in pregnancy loss. The empiric observations described here provide useful insight for clinicians and highlight the importance of high-resolution genomic testing for comprehensive evaluation and risk assessment of individuals experiencing pregnancy loss.

    Abstract Peptides are an important class of molecules with diverse biological activities. Many endogenous peptides, especially neuropeptides and peptide hormones, play critical roles in development and regulating homeostasis. Furthermore, as drug candidates their high receptor selectivity and potent binding leads to reduced off-target interactions and potential negative side effects. However, the therapeutic potential of peptides is severely hampered by their poor stability in vivo and low permeability across biological membranes. Several strategies have been successfully employed over the decades to address these concerns, and one of the most promising strategies is glycosylation. It has been demonstrated in numerous cases that glycosylation is an effective synthetic approach to improve the pharmacokinetic profiles and membrane permeability of peptides. The effects of glycosylation on peptide stability and peptide-membrane interactions in the context of blood-brain barrier penetration will be explored. Numerous examples of glycosylated analogues of endogenous peptides targeting class A and B G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) with an emphasis on O-linked glycopeptides will be reviewed. Notable examples of N-, S-, and C-linked glycopeptides will also be discussed. A small section is devoted to synthetic methods for the preparation of glycopeptides and requisite amino acid glycoside building blocks.

    Abstract Heart failure (HF) causes decreased brain perfusion in older adults, and increased brain and systemic inflammation increases the risk of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Glycosylated Ang-(1-7) MasR agonists (PNA5) has shown improved bioavailability, stability, and brain penetration compared to Ang-(1-7) native peptide. Despite promising results and numerous potential applications, clinical applications of PNA5 glycopeptide are limited by its short half-life, and frequent injections are required to ensure adequate treatment for cognitive impairment. Therefore, sustained-release injectable formulations of PNA5 glycopeptide are needed to improve its bioavailability, protect the peptide from degradation, and provide sustained drug release over a prolonged time to reduce injection administration frequency. Two types of poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) were used in the synthesis to produce nanoparticles (≈0.769−0.35 µm) and microparticles (≈3.7−2.4 µm) loaded with PNA5 (ester and acid-end capped). Comprehensive physicochemical characterization including scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis, molecular fingerprinting spectroscopy, particle sizing, drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, and in vitro drug release were conducted. The data shows that despite the differences in the size of the particles, sustained release of PNA5 was successfully achieved using PLGA R503H polymer with high drug loading (% DL) and high encapsulation efficiency (% EE) of >8% and >40%, respectively. While using the ester-end PLGA, NPs showed poor sustained release as after 72 h, nearly 100% of the peptide was released. Also, lower % EE and % DL values were observed (10.8 and 3.4, respectively). This is the first systematic and comprehensive study to report on the successful design, particle synthesis, physicochemical characterization, and in vitro glycopeptide drug release of PNA5 in PLGA nanoparticles and microparticles.

    Abstract Pain is the most significant impairment and debilitating challenge for patients with bone metastasis. Therefore, the primary objective of current therapy is to mitigate and prevent the persistence of pain. Thus, cancer-induced bone pain is described as a multifaceted form of discomfort encompassing both inflammatory and neuropathic elements. We have developed a novel non-addictive pain therapeutic, PNA6, that is a derivative of the peptide Angiotensin-(1-7) and binds the Mas receptor to decrease inflammation-related cancer pain. In the present study, we provide evidence that PNA6 attenuates inflammatory, chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and cancer pain confined to the long bones, exhibiting longer-lasting efficacious therapeutic effects. PNA6, Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Ser-(O-β-Lact)-amide, was successfully synthesized using solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). PNA6 significantly reversed inflammatory pain induced by 2% carrageenan in mice. A second murine model of platinum drug-induced painful peripheral neuropathy was established using oxaliplatin. Mice in the oxaliplatin-vehicle treatment groups demonstrated significant mechanical allodynia compared to the oxaliplatin-PNA6 treatment group mice. In a third study modeling a complex pain state, E0771 breast adenocarcinoma cells were implanted into the femur of female C57BL/6J wild-type mice to induce cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP). Both acute and chronic dosing of PNA6 significantly reduced the spontaneous pain behaviors associated with CIBP. These data suggest that PNA6 is a viable lead candidate for treating chronic inflammatory and complex neuropathic pain.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Precision Aging® is a novel concept that we have recently employed to describe how the model of precision medicine can be used to understand and define the multivariate risks that drive age-related cognitive impairment (ARCI). Hypertension and cardiovascular disease are key risk factors for both brain function and cognitive aging. In this review, we will discuss the common mechanisms underlying the risk factors for both hypertension and ARCI and how the convergence of these mechanisms may be amplified in an individual to drive changes in brain health and accelerate cognitive decline.
    Recent findings: Currently, our cognitive health span does not match our life span. Age-related cognitive impairment and preventing and treating ARCI will require an in-depth understanding of the interrelated risk factors, including individual genetic profiles, that affect brain health and brain aging. Hypertension and cardiovascular disease are important risk factors for ARCI. And, many of the risk factors for developing hypertension, such as diabetes, smoking, stress, viral infection, and age, are shared with the development of ARCI. We must first understand the mechanisms common to the converging risk factors in hypertension and ARCI and then design person-specific therapies to optimize individual brain health. The understanding of the convergence of shared risk factors between hypertension and ARCI is required to develop individualized interventions to optimize brain health across the life span. We will conclude with a discussion of possible steps that may be taken to decrease ARCI and optimize an individual's cognitive life span.
