    Abstract Portal hypertension is the main driver for severe complications in patients with liver cirrhosis. With improved understanding of molecular pathways that promote hepatic vascular remodeling, vasoconstriction, and sinusoidal capillarization potential vascular targets for the treatment of portal hypertension have been identified. Inhibition of vascular endothelial and platelet-derived growth factors-driven angiogenesis has been shown to reduce portal pressure and decrease hepatic inflammation. Angiopoietin/Tie signaling represents additional promising vascular targets in liver disease. The eNOS-NO-sGC-cGMP pathway modulates sinusoidal vasoconstriction and capillarization. Nuclear farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists decrease intrahepatic vascular resistance by inhibition of fibrogenesis and sinusoidal remodeling. Statins ameliorate endothelial dysfunction, decrease portal pressure, and reduce fibrogenesis. Anticoagulation with low-molecular heparin or anti-Xa inhibitors improved portal hypertension by deactivation of hepatic stellate cells and potentially via reduction of sinusoidal microthrombosis. This review summarizes important vascular targets for treatment of portal hypertension that have shown promising results in experimental studies.

    Abstract Persistent liver injury triggers a fibrogenic program that causes pathologic remodeling of the hepatic microenvironment (i.e., liver fibrosis) and portal hypertension. The dynamics of gene regulation during liver disease progression and early regression remain understudied. Here, we generated hepatic transcriptome profiles in two well-established liver disease models at peak fibrosis and during spontaneous regression after the removal of the inducing agents. We linked the dynamics of key disease readouts, such as portal pressure, collagen area, and transaminase levels, to differentially expressed genes, enabling the identification of transcriptomic signatures of progressive vs. regressive liver fibrosis and portal hypertension. These candidate biomarkers (e.g.,

    Abstract Chagas disease is a significant public health risk in rural and semi-rural areas of Venezuela. Triatomine infection by the aetiological agent Trypanosoma cruzi is also observed in the Metropolitan District of Caracas (MDC), where foodborne T. cruzi outbreaks occasionally occur but active vector-to-human transmission (infection during triatomine bloodmeal) is considered absent. Citizen science-based domiciliary triatomine collection carried out between 2007 and 2013 in the MDC has advanced understanding of urban T. cruzi prevalence patterns and represents an important public awareness-building tool. The present study reports on the extension of this triatomine collection program from 2014 to 2019 and uses mitochondrial metabarcoding to assess feeding behavior in a subset of specimens. The combined, thirteen-year dataset (n = 4872) shows a high rate of T. cruzi infection (75.2%) and a predominance of Panstrongylus geniculatus (99.01%) among triatomines collected in domiciliary areas by MDC inhabitants. Collection also involved nymphal stages of P. geniculatus in 18 of 32 MDC parishes. Other collected species included Triatoma nigromaculata, Triatoma maculata, Rhodnius prolixus, and Panstrongylus rufotuberculatus. Liquid intestinal content indicative of bloodmeal was observed in 53.4% of analyzed specimens. Dissection pools representing 108 such visually blooded P. geniculatus specimens predominantly tested positive for human cytochrome b DNA (22 of 24 pools). Additional bloodmeal sources detected via metabarcoding analysis included key sylvatic T. cruzi reservoirs (opossum and armadillo), rodents, and various other synanthropic and domesticated animals. Results suggest a porous sylvatic-domiciliary transmission interface and ongoing adaptation of P. geniculatus to the urban ecotope. Although P. geniculatus defecation traits greatly limit the possibility of active T. cruzi transmission for any individual biting event, the cumulation of this low risk across a vast metropolitan population warrants further investigation. Efforts to prevent triatomine contact with human food sources also clearly require greater attention to protect Venezuela's capital from Chagas disease.

    Abstract Corticosterone (CORT), the main glucocorticoid in birds, regulates physiological and behavioral traits linked to predictable and unpredictable environmental fluctuations (i.e., stressors). Baseline and stress-induced CORT concentrations are known to fluctuate seasonally, linked to life history stages (LHS) such as breeding, molt, and wintering stage. These variations have been relatively well described in North American birds, but poorly addressed in neotropical species. To fill this gap, we explored how baseline and stress-induced CORT variation by LHS was affected by seasonality and environmental heterogeneity (i.e., frequency of unpredictable events such as droughts, flashfloods, etc) within the Neotropics using two approaches. First, we reviewed all currently available data about CORT concentrations for neotropical bird species. Second, we performed an in-depth analysis comparing the CORT responses of the two most common species of the Zonotrichia genus from North and South America (Z. leucophrys and Z. capensis, respectively) and their subspecies to seasonality and environmental heterogeneity. These species have been analyzed with the same methodology, allowing for an in-depth comparison of CORT variations. Despite scant data on neotropical bird species, we observed overlap between molt and breeding, and lower fluctuations of CORT among LHS. These patterns would be considered atypical compared to those described for North temperate species. Further, we found no significant associations between environmental heterogeneity and the stress-responses. In Zonotrichia we observed a positive association between baseline and stress-induced concentrations of CORT and latitude. We also observed differences by LHS. Both baseline and stress-induced CORT concentrations were higher during breeding and lower during molt. In addition, for both species, the overall pattern of seasonal modulation of stress response was heavily influenced by the migration strategy, with long-distance migrants showing significantly higher stress-induced CORT levels. Our results highlight the need for more data collection in the Neotropics. Comparative data would shed further light on the sensitivity of the adrenocortical response to stress under different scenarios of environmental seasonality and unpredictability.

    Abstract Cirrhosis is a liver disease that leads to increased intrahepatic resistance, portal hypertension (PH), and splanchnic hyperemia resulting in ascites, variceal bleeding, and hepatorenal syndrome. Terlipressin, a prodrug that converts to a short half-life vasopressin receptor 1 A (V1a) full agonist [8-Lys]-Vasopressin (LVP), is an intravenous treatment for PH complications, but hyponatremia and ischemic side effects require close monitoring. We developed PHIN-214 which converts into PHIN-156, a more biologically stable V1a partial agonist. PHIN-214 enables once-daily subcutaneous administration without causing ischemia or tissue necrosis and has a 10-fold higher therapeutic index than terlipressin in healthy rats. As V1a partial agonists, PHIN-214 and PHIN-156 exhibited maximum activities of 28 % and 42 % of Arginine vasopressin (AVP), respectively. The potency of PHIN-156 and LVP relative to AVP is comparable for V1a (5.20 and 1.65 nM, respectively) and V1b (102 and 115 nM, respectively) receptors. However, the EC

    Abstract Portal hypertension is most frequently associated with cirrhosis and is a major driver for associated complications, such as variceal bleeding, ascites or hepatic encephalopathy. As such, clinically significant portal hypertension forms the prelude to decompensation and impacts significantly on the prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis. At present, non-selective β-blockers, vasopressin analogues and somatostatin analogues are the mainstay of treatment but these strategies are far from satisfactory and only target splanchnic hyperemia. In contrast, safe and reliable strategies to reduce the increased intrahepatic resistance in cirrhotic patients still represent a pending issue. In recent years, several preclinical and clinical trials have focused on this latter component and other therapeutic avenues. In this review, we highlight novel data in this context and address potentially interesting therapeutic options for the future.
