    Abstract Cardiac hypertrophy is a common feature in several cardiomyopathies. We previously reported that loss of ADAM15 (disintegrin and metalloproteinase 15) worsened cardiac hypertrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy following cardiac pressure overload. Here, we investigated the impact of ADAM15 loss in female mice following cardiac pressure overload induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC). Female

    Abstract Cardiac fibroblasts (cFBs) have emerged as a heterogenous cell population. Fibroblasts are considered the main cell source for synthesis of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and as such a dysregulation in cFB function, activity, or viability can lead to disrupted ECM structure or fibrosis. Fibrosis can be initiated in response to different injuries and stimuli, and can be reparative (beneficial) or reactive (damaging). FBs need to be activated to myofibroblasts (MyoFBs) which have augmented capacity in synthesizing ECM proteins, causing fibrosis. In addition to the resident FBs in the myocardium, a number of other cells (pericytes, fibrocytes, mesenchymal, and hematopoietic cells) can transform into MyoFBs, further driving the fibrotic response. Multiple molecules including hormones, cytokines, and growth factors stimulate this process leading to generation of activated MyoFBs. Contribution of different cell types to cFBs and MyoFBs can result in an exponential increase in the number of MyoFBs and an accelerated pro-fibrotic response. Given the diversity of the cell sources, and the array of interconnected signalling pathways that lead to formation of MyoFBs and subsequently fibrosis, identifying a single target to limit the fibrotic response in the myocardium has been challenging. This review article will delineate the importance and relevance of fibroblast heterogeneity in mediating fibrosis in different models of heart failure and will highlight important signalling pathways implicated in myofibroblast activation.

    Abstract Aged males disproportionately succumb to increased COVID-19 severity, hospitalization, and mortality compared to females. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and transmembrane protease, serine 2 (TMPRSS2) facilitate SARS-CoV-2 viral entry and may have sexually dimorphic regulation. As viral load dictates disease severity, we investigated the expression, protein levels, and activity of ACE2 and TMPRSS2. Our data reveal that aged males have elevated ACE2 in both mice and humans across organs. We report the first comparative study comprehensively investigating the impact of sex and age in murine and human levels of ACE2 and TMPRSS2, to begin to elucidate the sex bias in COVID-19 severity.

    Abstract Background: Myocardial hypertrophy and dilation are key features of cardiomyopathies and involve several cellular and molecular events. ADAMs (a disintegrin and metalloproteinases) are membrane-bound proteinases with diverse functions whose role in heart disease remains underexplored. ADAM15 is expressed in the heart and is downregulated in the failing human heart. We investigated the role ADAM15 in pressure overload cardiomyopathy.
    Methods: We assessed ADAM15 levels in myocardial specimens from patients. Its direct role in pressure overload was investigated by subjecting wildtype and
    Results: ADAM15 levels did not change in patients with concentric hypertrophy, but markedly decreased in eccentric hypertrophy and heart failure. Loss of ADAM15 alone did not cause cardiomyopathy in mice (1 year old). After TAC,
    Conclusion: This is the first report demonstrating that ADAM15 can suppress hypertrophy through regulating the integrin-laminin interaction and the calcineurin pathway.

    Abstract Collagen cross-linking is an important step in optimal scar formation. Myocardial infarction (MI) results in loss of cardiomyocytes that are replaced with a scar (infarct) tissue. Disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAMs) are membrane-bound proteases that can interact with molecules intra- and extra-cellularly to mediate various cellular functions. ADAM15 is expressed in the myocardium, however its function in heart disease has been poorly explored. We utilized mice lacking ADAM15 (Adam15
