    Abstract Protein glycosylation, which involves the attachment of carbohydrates to proteins, is one of the most abundant protein co-translational and post-translational modifications. Advances in technology have substantially increased our knowledge of the biosynthetic pathways involved in protein glycosylation, as well as how changes in glycosylation can affect cell function. In addition, our understanding of the role of protein glycosylation in disease processes is growing, particularly in the context of immune system function, infectious diseases, neurodegeneration and cancer. Several decades ago, cell surface glycoproteins were found to have an important role in regulating ion transport across the cardiac sarcolemma. However, with very few exceptions, our understanding of how changes in protein glycosylation influence cardiovascular (patho)physiology remains remarkably limited. Therefore, in this Review, we aim to provide an overview of N-linked and O-linked protein glycosylation, including intracellular O-linked N-acetylglucosamine protein modification. We discuss our current understanding of how all forms of protein glycosylation contribute to normal cardiovascular function and their roles in cardiovascular disease. Finally, we highlight potential gaps in our knowledge about the effects of protein glycosylation on the heart and vascular system, highlighting areas for future research.

    Abstract Monocyte rolling, adhesion, and transmigration across the endothelium are mediated by specific interactions between surface adhesion molecules. This process is fundamental to innate immunity and to inflammatory disease, including atherosclerosis, where monocyte egress into the intimal space is central to formation of fatty plaques. Monocytes are a heterogeneous population of three distinct subsets of cells, all of which play different roles in atherosclerosis progression. However, it is not well understood how interactions between different monocyte subsets and the endothelium are regulated. Furthermore, it is appreciated that endothelial adhesion molecules are heavily N-glycosylated, but beyond regulating protein trafficking to the cell surface, whether and if so how these N-glycans contribute to monocyte recruitment is not known. This review discusses how changes in endothelial N-glycosylation may impact vascular and monocytic inflammation. It will also discuss how regulating N-glycoforms on the endothelial surface may allow for the recruitment of specific monocyte subsets to sites of inflammation, and how further understanding in this area may lead to the development of glyco-specific therapeutics in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

    Abstract Objective: This single-center clinical study identifies clusters of different phenotypes and pathophysiology subtypes of patients with gout and associated comorbidities.
    Methods: Patients clinically diagnosed with gout were enrolled between January 2018 and December 2019. Hierarchical cluster analyses were performed using clinical data or biological markers, inflammatory markers, and oxidative stress pathway metabolites assayed from serum and plasma samples. Subgroup clusters were compared using ANOVA for continuous data and chi-square tests for categorical data.
    Results: Hierarchical cluster analysis identified 3 clusters. Cluster 1 (C1; n = 24) comprised dyslipidemia, hypertension, and early-onset gout, without tophi. Cluster 2 (C2; n = 25) comprised hypertension, dyslipidemia, nephrolithiasis, and obesity. Cluster 3 (C3; n = 39) comprised multiple comorbidities and tophi. Post hoc comparisons of data obtained from samples of patients in C1, C2, and C3 revealed significant differences in the levels of oxidative stress and inflammation-related markers, including 3-nitrotyrosine, tumor necrosis factor, C-reactive protein, interleukin (IL) 1β, IL-6, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AA, and PDGF-BB. Reclustering patients based on all markers as well as on the biological markers that significantly differed among the initial clusters identified similar clusters.
    Conclusion: Oxidative stress and inflammatory marker levels may affect the development and clinical manifestations (ie, clinical phenotypes) of gout. Measuring oxidative stress and levels of inflammatory cytokines is a potential adjunctive tool and biomarker for early identification and management of gout.

    Abstract Nitric Oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that plays roles in controlling vascular tone, hemostasis, host defense, and many other physiological functions. Low NO bioavailability contributes to pathology and NO administration has therapeutic potential in a variety of diseases. Thus, accurate measurements of NO bioavailability and reactivity are critical. Due to its short lifetime in vivo and many in vitro conditions, NO bioavailability and reactivity are often best determined by measuring NO congeners and metabolites that are more stable. Chemiluminescence-based detection of NO following chemical reduction of these compounds using the tri-iodide and vanadium chloride methods have been widely used in a variety of clinical and laboratory studies. In this review, we describe these methods used to detect nitrite, nitrate, nitrosothiols and other species and discuss limitations and proper controls.

    Abstract The major role of red blood cells (RBCs) is to deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide within organisms through the unique properties of hemoglobin. Although beneficial within RBCs, when outside hemoglobin and its breakdown products (heme, iron) induce proinflammatory responses affecting various cellular responses. Although these effects are considered to be prominent in disorders with increased hemolysis, recent evidence suggests that this process may be active in nonhemolytic disorders such as acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome. This perspectives article focuses on data related to red cell products in nonhemolytic disorders and the potential to target these factors in acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome.

    Abstract Among critically ill patients, red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is often prescribed for anemia in the absence of active or recent bleeding. The failure of RBC transfusion to improve physiological parameters and clinical outcomes in this setting may be explained by current understanding of the relationship between the RBCs and the microcirculation. It is now evident that the circulating RBCs contribute to microcirculatory hypoxic vasodilation by regulated nitric oxide (NO)-dependent vasodilation, thereby facilitating delivery of oxygen to oxygen-deprived tissue. The structural and functional changes in RBCs during storage, collectively known as the storage lesion, result in circulating RBCs that may not function as expected after transfusion. In recent years, there has been a significant focus on the dysfunctional interaction between stored RBCs and the microcirculation, with emphasis on understanding the mechanisms that drive erythrocyte NO-mediated vasodilation. The development of technology that allows noninvasive observation of the microcirculation in humans has allowed for direct observation of the microcirculation immediately before and after RBC transfusion. The current understanding of RBC NO-mediated vasodilation and the results of direct observation of the microcirculation in the setting of RBC transfusion are reviewed.

    Abstract Low doses of nitrite, close to physiological levels, increase blood flow in normal and ischemic tissues through a nitric oxide (NO) dependent mechanism. Given that nitrite therapy and dietary supplementation with vegetables high in nitrate (e.g. beets) are gaining popularity we decided to determine if low doses of nitrite impact the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), a key feature of wet age related macular degeneration (AMD). Sodium nitrite (at 50 mg/L, 150 mg/L, and 300 mg/L), nitrate (1 g/L) or water alone were provided in the drinking water of C57BL/6 J mice aged 2 or 12 months. Mice were allowed to drink ad libitum for 1 week at which time laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (L-CNV) was induced. The mice continued to drink the supplemented water ad libitum for a further 14 days at which point optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed to determine the volume of the CNV lesion. Blood was drawn to determine nitrite and nitrate levels and eyes taken for histology. CNV volume was 2.86 × 10
