    Abstract Emerging studies provide new data shedding some light on the complex and pivotal role of red blood cells (RBCs) in nitric oxide (NO) metabolism and paracrine regulation of endothelial function. NO is involved in the regulation of vasodilatation, platelet aggregation, inflammation, hypoxic adaptation, and oxidative stress. Even though tremendous knowledge about NO metabolism has been collected, the exact RBCs' status still requires evaluation. This paper summarizes the actual knowledge regarding the role of erythrocytes as a mobile depot of amino acids necessary for NO biotransformation. Moreover, the complex regulation of RBCs' translocases is presented with a particular focus on cationic amino acid transporters (CATs) responsible for the NO substrates and derivatives transport. The main part demonstrates the intraerythrocytic metabolism of L-arginine with its regulation by reactive oxygen species and arginase activity. Additionally, the process of nitrite and nitrate turnover was demonstrated to be another stable source of NO, with its reduction by xanthine oxidoreductase or hemoglobin. Additional function of hemoglobin in NO synthesis and its subsequent stabilization in steady intermediates is also discussed. Furthermore, RBCs regulate the vascular tone by releasing ATP, inducing smooth muscle cell relaxation, and decreasing platelet aggregation. Erythrocytes and intraerythrocytic NO metabolism are also responsible for the maintenance of normotension. Hence, RBCs became a promising new therapeutic target in restoring NO homeostasis in cardiovascular disorders.

    Abstract The aim of our study was to evaluate if endothelial-dysfunction (ED) occurs in patients with primary Sjogren syndrome (pSS) and whether it is associated with the disease characteristics and activity. A total of 46 patients with pSS and 30 controls, without known cardiovascular disease, were enrolled in this study. A flow-mediated-dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery, plasma concentrations of the nitric oxide (NO) metabolic pathway (ADMA, L-arginine, SDMA, cGMP), and markers of endothelial inflammatory function (PAI-1, sE-selectin) and angiogenesis (angiostatin, VEGF) were analyzed. The FMD was significantly lower in pSS patients (7.56 ± 3.08 vs. 10.91 ± 1.02%, p = 0.043) and positively correlated with the Ro/SS-A-antibodies (r = 0.34, p = 0.03), pulmonary involvement (r = 0.52, p = 0.001) and inversely with ADMA (r = −0.35, p = 0.04). Plasma ADMA, L-arginine and angiostatin levels were significantly higher in pSS patients (0.39 ± 0.08 vs. 0.36 ± 0.06 µmol/L, p = 0.05; 29.07 ± 6.7 vs. 25.4 ± 5.23 µmol/L, p = 0.01; 152.25 ± 60.99 vs. 120.07 ± 38.7 pg/mL, p = 0.0, respectively). ADMA was associated with ESSDAI (r = 0.33, p = 0.02), SCORE (r = 0.57, p = 0.00003) and focus score (r = 0.38, p = 0.04). In the multiple regression analysis, the ESSDAI was significantly and independently associated with plasma ADMA levels (β = 0.24, p = 0.04). Moreover, plasma cGMP concentrations were negatively correlated with the disease duration (r = −0.31, p = 0.03). Endothelial function is impaired in patients with pSS and associated with the measures of disease activity, which supports the key-role of inflammation in developing and maintaining accelerated atherosclerosis.

    Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined as increased mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) above 25 mmHg, measured at rest by right heart catheterization. The exact global prevalence of PH is difficult to estimate, mainly due to the complex aetiology, and its spread may be underestimated. To date, numerous studies on the aetiology and pathophysiology of PH at molecular level were conducted. Simultaneously, some clinical studies have shown potential usefulness of well-known and widely recognized cardiovascular biomarkers, but their potential clinical usefulness in diagnosis and management of PH is poor due to their low specificity accompanied with numerous other cardiovascular comorbidities of PH subjects. On the other hand, a large body of basic research-based studies provides us with novel molecular pathomechanisms, biomarkers, and drug targets, according to the evidence-based medicine principles. Unfortunately, the simple implementation of these results to clinical practice is impossible due to a large heterogeneity of the PH pathophysiology, where the clinical symptoms constitute only a common denominator and a final result of numerous crosstalking metabolic pathways. Therefore, future studies, based mostly on translational medicine, are needed in order to both organize better the pathophysiological classification of various forms of PH and define precisely the optimal diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets in particular forms of PH. This review paper summarizes the current state of the art regarding the molecular background of PH with respect to its current classification. Novel therapeutic strategies and potential biomarkers are discussed with respect to their limitations in use in common clinical practice.

    Abstract Despite the development of new drugs and other therapeutic strategies, cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains still the major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world population. A lot of research, performed mostly in the last three decades, revealed an important correlation between "classical" demographic and biochemical risk factors for CVD, (i.e., hypercholesterolemia, hyperhomocysteinemia, smoking, renal failure, aging, diabetes, and hypertension) with endothelial dysfunction associated directly with the nitric oxide deficiency. The discovery of nitric oxide and its recognition as an endothelial-derived relaxing factor was a breakthrough in understanding the pathophysiology and development of cardiovascular system disorders. The nitric oxide synthesis pathway and its regulation and association with cardiovascular risk factors were a common subject for research during the last decades. As nitric oxide synthase, especially its endothelial isoform, which plays a crucial role in the regulation of NO bioavailability, inhibiting its function results in the increase in the cardiovascular risk pattern. Among agents altering the production of nitric oxide, asymmetric dimethylarginine-the competitive inhibitor of NOS-appears to be the most important. In this review paper, we summarize the role of L-arginine-nitric oxide pathway in cardiovascular disorders with the focus on intraplatelet metabolism.

    Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is known to be an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Among arousal from sleep, increased thoracic pressure and enhanced sympathetic activation, intermittent hypoxia is now considered as one of the most important pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to the development of endothelial dysfunction. Nevertheless, not much is known about blood components, which justifies the current review. This review focuses on molecular mechanisms triggered by sleep apnea. The recurrent periods of hypoxemia followed by reoxygenation promote reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction and increase inflammatory response. In this review paper we also intend to summarize the effect of treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on changes in the profile of the endothelial function and its subsequent potential clinical advantage in lowering cardiovascular risk in other comorbidities such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, atrial fibrillation. Moreover, this paper is aimed at explaining how the presence of OSA may affect platelet function and exert effects on rheological activity of erythrocytes, which could also be the key to explaining an increased risk of stroke.

    Abstract Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system activity and reactivity, and the endothelial function profile in normotensive subjects (N), and in essential hypertensives (H), followed by analysis of the modulatory role of an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB): valsartan, administered in the management of hypertension.
    Methods: A total of 101 male subjects were enrolled to the study: 31H and 70N. The nitric-oxide (NO) bioavailability (l-Arginine, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA)), symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), endothelial vasodilative function (flow mediated dilation (FMD)), oxidative-stress markers (malonyldialdehyde (MDA), thiol index (GSH/GSSG), nitrotyrozine (
    Results: No effect of valsartan and ASA on the flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) and the NO bioavailability in hypertensives was observed. Administration of valsartan increased plasma renin activity (PRA), but without a decrease in the aldosterone levels. ASA treatment minimized the pre-existing differences between the groups, and increased the PRA in the N-subgroup with the highest ARR values. The blood concentrations of proinflammatory sICAM-1, sE-selectin, sVCAM-1, and PAI-1 were higher, whereas the anti-inflammatory 6-keto-PGF1 alpha level was lower in hypertensive subjects. The levels of angiogenic VEGF did not differ between groups.
    Conclusions: Our study does not confirm the modulative effect of valsartan on endothelial function. Normotensive men showed an increase in FMD after l-arginine administration, possibly indicating baseline impairment of the NO synthesis.

    Abstract Carbonic anhydrases constitute a group of enzymes that catalyse reversible hydration of carbon dioxide leading to the formation of bicarbonate and proton. The platelet carbonic anhydrase II (CAII) was described for the first time in the '80s of the last century. Nevertheless, its direct role in platelet physiology and pathology still remains poorly understood. The modulation of platelet CAII action as a therapeutic approach holds promise as a novel strategy to reduce the impact of cardiovascular diseases. This short review paper summarises the current knowledge regarding the role of human CAII in regulating platelet function. The potential future directions considering this enzyme as a potential drug target and important pathophysiological chain in platelet-related disorders are described.
