    Abstract Microplastics (MP) and nanoplastics (NP) are accumulating more and more in our environment and have been frequently detected in water and soil, but also in a variety of mainly marine organisms. Polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene are those most commonly found. Once in the environment, MP/NP are carriers for many other substances, which often convey toxic effects. Even though intuitively it is thought that ingesting MP/NP cannot be healthy, little is known about their effects on mammalian cells and organisms so far. To better understand the potential hazards of MP/NP on humans and to offer an overview of the already associated pathological effects, we conducted a comprehensive literature review on cellular effects, as well as experimental animal studies on MP/NP in mammals.

    Abstract Obesity represents a worldwide health challenge, and the condition is accompanied by elevated risk of cardiovascular diseases caused by metabolic dysfunction and proinflammatory adipokines. Among those, the immune-modulatory cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (human: CAMP; murine: CRAMP) might contribute to the interaction of the innate immune system and metabolism in these settings. We investigated systemic CAMP/CRAMP levels in experimental murine models of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction and cardiovascular patients. Atherosclerosis was induced in low-density lipoprotein receptor-deficient (Ldlr

    Abstract Here, we target the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) proteome in a case series of 16 patients with post-COVID-19 symptoms treated with HMG-Co-A reductase inhibitors (statin) plus angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers (ARBs) for 6 weeks. Patients suffering from persistent symptoms (post-acute sequelae) after serologically confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (post-COVID-19 syndrome, PCS, n = 8) or following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination (PVS, n = 8) were included. Asymptomatic subjects with corresponding serological findings served as healthy controls (n = 8/8). HDL was isolated using dextran sulfate precipitation and the HDL proteome of all study participants was analyzed quantitatively by mass spectrometry. Clinical symptoms were assessed using questionnaires before and after therapy. The inflammatory potential of the patients' HDL proteome was addressed in human endothelial cells. The HDL proteome of patients with PCS and PVS showed no significant differences; however, compared to controls, the HDL from PVS/PCS patients displayed significant alterations involving hemoglobin, cytoskeletal proteins (MYL6, TLN1, PARVB, TPM4, FLNA), and amyloid precursor protein. Gene Ontology Biological Process (GOBP) enrichment analysis identified hemostasis, peptidase, and lipoprotein regulation pathways to be involved. Treatment of PVS/PCS patients with statins plus ARBs improved the patients' clinical symptoms. After therapy, three proteins were significantly increased (FAM3C, AT6AP2, ADAM10; FDR < 0.05) in the HDL proteome from patients with PVS/PCS. Exposure of human endothelial cells with the HDL proteome from treated PVS/PCS patients revealed reduced inflammatory cytokine and adhesion molecule expression. Thus, HDL proteome analysis from PVS/PCS patients enables a deeper insight into the underlying disease mechanisms, pointing to significant involvement in metabolic and signaling disturbances. Treatment with statins plus ARBs improved clinical symptoms and reduced the inflammatory potential of the HDL proteome. These observations may guide future therapeutic strategies for PVS/PCS patients.

    Abstract C1q/TNF-related protein 3 (CTRP3) represents an adipokine with various metabolic and immune-regulatory functions. While circulating CTRP3 has been proposed as a potential biomarker for cardiovascular disease (CVD), current data on CTRP3 regarding coronary artery disease (CAD) remains partially contradictory. This study aimed to investigate CTRP3 levels in chronic and acute settings such as chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A total of 206 patients were classified into three groups: CCS (n = 64), ACS having a first acute event (ACS-1, n = 75), and ACS having a recurrent acute event (ACS-2, n = 67). The control group consisted of 49 healthy individuals. ELISA measurement in peripheral blood revealed decreased CTRP3 levels in all patient groups (p < 0.001) without significant differences between the groups. This effect was exclusively observed in male patients. Females generally exhibited significantly higher CTRP3 plasma levels than males. ROC curve analysis in male patients revealed a valuable predictive potency of plasma CTRP3 in order to identify CAD patients, with a proposed cut-off value of 51.25 ng/mL. The sensitivity and specificity of prediction by CTRP3 were congruent for the subgroups of CCS, ACS-1, and ACS-2 patients. Regulation of circulating CTRP3 levels in murine models of cardiovascular pathophysiology was found to be partly opposite to the clinical findings, with male mice exhibiting higher circulating CTRP3 levels than females. We conclude that circulating CTRP3 levels are decreased in both male CCS and ACS patients. Therefore, CTRP3 might be useful as a biomarker for CAD but not for distinguishing an acute from a chronic setting. KEY MESSAGES: CTRP3 levels were found to be decreased in both male CCS and ACS patients compared to healthy controls. Plasma CTRP3 has a valuable predictive potency in order to identify CAD patients among men and is therefore proposed as a biomarker for CAD but not for distinguishing between acute and chronic settings. Regulation of circulating CTRP3 levels in murine models of cardiovascular pathophysiology was found to be partly opposite to the clinical findings in men.

    Abstract Self-extracellular RNA (eRNA), which is released under pathological conditions from damaged tissue, has recently been identified as a new alarmin and synergistic agent together with toll-like receptor (TLR)2 ligands to induce proinflammatory activities of immune cells. In this study, a detailed investigation of these interactions is reported. The macrophage cell line J774 A.1 or C57 BL/6 J wild-type mice were treated with 18S rRNA and different TLR2 agonists.
