    Abstract Arterioles are key determinants of the total peripheral vascular resistance, which, in turn, is a key determinant of arterial blood pressure. However, the amount of protein available from one isolated human arteriole may be less than 5 μg, making proteomic analysis challenging. In addition, obtaining human arterioles requires manual dissection of unfrozen clinical specimens. This limits its feasibility, especially for powerful multicenter clinical studies in which clinical specimens need to be shipped overnight to a research laboratory for arteriole isolation. We performed a study to address low-input, test overnight tissue storage and develop a reference human arteriolar proteomic profile. In tandem mass tag proteomics, use of a booster channel consisting of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells (1:5 ratio) increased the number of proteins detected in a human arteriole segment with a false discovery rate of <0.01 from 1051 to more than 3000. The correlation coefficient of proteomic profile was similar between replicate arterioles isolated freshly, following cold storage, or before and after the cold storage (1-way analysis of variance; P = .60). We built a human arteriolar proteomic profile consisting of 3832 proteins based on the analysis of 12 arteriole samples from 3 subjects. Of 1945 blood pressure-relevant proteins that we curated, 476 (12.5%) were detected in the arteriolar proteome, which was a significant overrepresentation (χ

    Abstract Diabetes-related vascular complication rates remain unacceptably high despite guideline-based medical therapies that are significantly more effective in individuals without diabetes. This critical gap represents an opportunity for researchers and clinicians to collaborate on targeting mechanisms and pathways that specifically contribute to vascular pathology in patients with diabetes mellitus. Dysfunctional mitochondria producing excessive mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) play a proximal cell-signaling role in the development of vascular endothelial dysfunction in the setting of diabetes. Targeting the mechanisms of production of mtROS or mtROS themselves represents an attractive method to reduce the prevalence and severity of diabetic vascular disease. This review focuses on the role of mitochondria in the development of diabetic vascular disease and current developments in methods to improve mitochondrial health to improve vascular outcomes in patients with DM.

    Abstract Despite data showing that estrogen is vasculoprotective in large conduit arteries, hormone therapy (HT) during menopause has not proven to mitigate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Estrogen exposure through prolonged oral contraceptive use and gender-affirming therapy can also increase cis- and trans-females' risk for future CVD, respectively. The microvasculature is a unique vascular bed that when dysfunctional can independently predict future adverse cardiac events; however, studies on the influence of estrogen on human microvessels are limited. Here, we show that isolated human arterioles from females across the life span maintain nitric oxide (NO)-mediated dilation to flow, whereas chronic (16-20 h) exposure to exogenous (100 nM) 17β-estradiol promotes microvascular endothelial dysfunction in vessels from adult females of <40 and ≥40 yr of age. The damaging effect of estrogen was more dramatic in arterioles from biological males, as they exhibited both endothelial and smooth muscle dysfunction. Furthermore, females of <40 yr have greater endothelial expression of estrogen receptor-β (ER-β) and G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) compared with females of ≥40 yr and males. Estrogen receptor-α (ER-α), the prominent receptor associated with protective effects of estrogen, was identified within the adventitia as opposed to the endothelium across all groups. To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the detrimental effects of estrogen on the human microvasculature and highlights differences in estrogen receptor expression.

    Abstract The circulating milieu, bioactive molecules in the bloodstream, is altered with aging and interfaces constantly with the vasculature. This anatomic juxtaposition suggests that circulating factors may actively modulate arterial function. Here, we developed a novel, translational experimental model that allows for direct interrogation of the influence of the circulating milieu on age-related arterial dysfunction (aortic stiffening and endothelial dysfunction). To do so, we exposed young and old mouse arteries to serum from young and old mice and young and midlife/older (ML/O) adult humans. We found that old mouse and ML/O adult human, but not young, serum stiffened young mouse aortic rings, assessed via elastic modulus (mouse and human serum,

    Abstract Mitochondrial fission protein 1 (Fis1) was identified in yeast as being essential for mitochondrial division or fission and subsequently determined to mediate human mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission. Yet, its exact functions in humans, especially in regard to mitochondrial fission, remains an enigma as genetic deletion of Fis1 elongates mitochondria in some cell types, but not others. Fis1 has also been identified as an important component of apoptotic and mitophagic pathways suggesting the protein may have multiple, essential roles. This review presents current perspectives on the emerging functions of Fis1 and their implications in human health and diseases, with an emphasis on Fis1's role in both endocrine and neurological disorders.

    Abstract Sedentary behavior is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, independent of physical activity. The biological mechanisms underlying these associations are largely unknown. We hypothesized that obese subjects with sedentary desk jobs, when assigned a sit-stand desk, will reduce daily sedentary time, and show improvement in arterial flow-mediated dilation (FMD), an early indicator of CVD. Overweight and obese subjects without known CVD were recruited at our institution and given an adjustable sit-stand desk at work. Activities were quantified with an accelerometer for 7 days at baseline and during the intervention. FMD of the brachial and superficial femoral arteries, fasting lipids, insulin and glucose labs, and anthropometrics were measured at baseline, and 12 and 24 weeks. Repeated one-way ANOVA tests were used to compare measurements over time. Fifteen participants were enrolled (93% female, mean age 40 ± 5 years, mean body mass index [BMI] 33 ± 5). Mean daily sedentary time at work decreased by 90 minutes from baseline (385 ± 49 minutes) to 12 weeks (297 ± 80 minutes,

    Abstract Background: Singing is a physical activity involving components of the vagal nerves manifested as changes in cardiac autonomic regulation.
    Aims: The aim of this pilot study is to investigate the acute effects of singing on biomarkers of cardiovascular health.
    Methods: Adult subjects were recruited from cardiology clinics to participate in a single 90-min study visit. Vascular function was measured at the fingertips with peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT) before and after singing to a 14-min video led by a voice expert. Heart rate variability (HRV) was measured with a chest strap sensor at baseline, during, and after singing. PAT measurements were expressed as reactive hyperemia index (RHI) and Framingham reactive hyperemia index (fRHI). Measures of HRV included root mean square of successive RR interval differences (RMSSD) and standard deviation of NN (or RR) intervals (SDNN).
    Results: Sixty subjects completed the study (68% female, mean age 61 ±13 years, mean BMI 32 ± 8). There was a significant increase in fRHI (1.88 ± 0.14 to 2.10 ± 0.14,
    Conclusions: A short duration of singing improved vascular function acutely. Improvements were more substantial in subjects with abnormal baseline endothelial function. HRV patterns were similar to that of light-intensity exercise. Future studies should confirm favorable vascular adaptation to more sustained singing interventions.
