    Abstract Cardiovascular (CV) involvement after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) infection was found to be frequent among the general population, especially in the pre-vaccination era, and particularly for hospitalized patients or those who experienced a more severe course of the disease. The spectrum of CV disease varies; however, acute myocarditis is particularly fearsome for the athletic population due to the possible associated risk of malignant arrhythmias during training. Alarming percentages of CV injuries, even in young and healthy athletes with a benign course of the disease, arose from a few initial studies limited to case series. Subsequent single-center studies and larger observational registries reported a lower prevalence of SARS-CoV2 CV involvement in athletes. Studies showing the occurrence of CV adverse events during follow-up periods are now available. The objective of our narrative review is to provide an updated summary of the literature on CV involvement after coronavirus disease 2019, both in the early post-infection period and over a longer period of time, with a focus on athletic populations.

    Abstract the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic started in December 2019 and still remains a major global health issue. Every country in the world has adopted drastic measures to contain the virus, although their stringency varies among countries, ranging from increased surveillance and focused interventions to strict lockdown (1). Italy was the second country where the disease had a major impact early in the pandemic, such that a strict nationwide lockdown was declared from March 9 to May 3, 2020. Nonetheless, between January and May 2020, there were 210,000 COVID-19 cases in Italy and 29,000 deaths were recorded (2). Due to the lockdown, universities (and in general all educational services) shifted to online classes, with students attending lessons and taking their exams from home. On-site activities were reduced to those considered indispensable. Research activities also had to be modified, such as by the adoption of a smart-working model (3). Between May and August 2020, the number of SARS-CoV-2 infections in Italy decreased. In response, the lockdown was loosened and some activities were restarted, albeit with specific safety protocols (social distancing, use of masks, temperature checks at the workplace entry, environmental disinfection, mixed models of smart and in-office work). These actions were accompanied by periodic serological and PCR screening tests (4).

    Abstract CEMIP (cell migration‐inducing protein), also known as KIAA1199 or HYBID, is a protein involved in the depolymerisation of hyaluronic acid (HA), a major glycosaminoglycan component of the extracellular matrix. CEMIP was originally described in patients affected by nonsyndromic hearing loss and has subsequently been shown to play a key role in tumour initiation and progression, as well as arthritis, atherosclerosis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Despite the vast literature associating CEMIP with these diseases, its biology remains elusive. The present review article summarises all the major scientific evidence regarding its structure, function, role and expression, and attempts to cast light on a protein that modulates EMT, fibrosis and tissue inflammation, an unmet key aspect in several inflammatory disease conditions.

    Abstract Hyaluronan (HA) is an extracellular matrix component that regulates a variety of physiological and pathological processes. The function of HA depends both on its overall amount and on its size, properties that are controlled by HA synthesizing and degrading enzymes. The lack of inhibitors that can specifically block individual HA degrading enzymes has hampered attempts to understand the contribution of individual hyaluronidases to different physiological and pathological processes. CEMIP is a recently discovered hyaluronidase that cleaves HA through mechanisms and under conditions that are distinct from those of other hyaluronidases such as HYAL1 or HYAL2. The role of its hyaluronidase activity in physiology and disease is poorly understood. Here, we characterized a series of sulfated HA derivatives (sHA) with different sizes and degrees of sulfation for their ability to inhibit specific hyaluronidases. We found that highly sulfated sHA derivatives potently inhibited CEMIP hyaluronidase activity. One of these compounds, designated here as sHA3.7, was characterized further and shown to inhibit CEMIP with considerable selectivity over other hyaluronidases. Inhibition of CEMIP with sHA3.7 in fibroblasts, which are the main producers of HA in the interstitial matrix, increased the cellular levels of total and high molecular weight HA, while decreasing the fraction of low molecular weight HA fragments. Genetic deletion of CEMIP in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) produced analogous results and confirmed that the effects of sHA3.7 on HA levels were mediated by CEMIP inhibition. Importantly, both CEMIP deletion and its inhibition by sHA3.7 suppressed fibroblast proliferation, while promoting differentiation into myofibroblasts, as reflected in a lack of CEMIP in myofibroblasts within skin wounds in experimental mice. By contrast, adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation were attenuated upon CEMIP loss or inhibition. Our results demonstrate the importance of CEMIP for the HA metabolism, proliferation and differentiation of fibroblasts, and suggest that inhibition of CEMIP with sulfated HA derivatives such as sHA3.7 has potential utility in pathological conditions that are dependent on CEMIP function.

    Abstract AAV-mediated gene therapy is a promising approach for treating genetic hearing loss. Replacement or editing of the Tmc1 gene, encoding hair cell mechanosensory ion channels, is effective for hearing restoration in mice with some limitations. Efficient rescue of outer hair cell function and lack of hearing recovery with later-stage treatment remain issues to be solved. Exogenous genes delivered with the adeno-associated virus (AAV)9-PHP.B capsid via the utricle transduce both inner and outer hair cells of the mouse cochlea with high efficacy. Here, we demonstrate that AAV9-PHP.B gene therapy can promote hair cell survival and successfully rescues hearing in three distinct mouse models of hearing loss. Tmc1 replacement with AAV9-PHP.B in a Tmc1 knockout mouse rescues hearing and promotes hair cell survival with equal efficacy in inner and outer hair cells. The same treatment in a recessive Tmc1 hearing-loss model, Baringo, partially recovers hearing even with later-stage treatment. Finally, dual delivery of Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) and guide RNA (gRNA) in separate AAV9-PHP.B vectors selectively disrupts a dominant Tmc1 allele and preserves hearing in Beethoven mice, a model of dominant, progressive hearing loss. Tmc1-targeted gene therapies using single or dual AAV9-PHP.B vectors offer potent and versatile approaches for treating dominant and recessive deafness.
