BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome heightens cardiovascular disease risk primarily through increased arterial stiffness. We previously demonstrated the involvement of YAP (Yes-associated protein) in high-fat/high-sucrose diet (HFHSD)–induced arterial stiffness via modulation of PPM1B (protein phosphatase Mg2+/Mn2+–dependent 1B)-lysine 63(K63) deubiquitination. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the role and mechanisms underlying PPM1B deubiquitination in HFHSD-induced arterial stiffness. METHODS: Enzymes governing PPM1B deubiquitination were identified through small interfering RNA (siRNA) screening and mass spectrometry. Glutathione S-transferase pull-down, coimmunoprecipitation, protein purification, and immunofluorescence were used to explore the mechanism underlying PPM1B deubiquitination. Doppler ultrasound was used to evaluate HFHSD-induced arterial stiffness in mice, and telemetry was used to record pulsatile (systolic and diastolic) blood pressure. RESULTS: Smooth muscle cell–spe

Mashup Score: 10We need medical leadership built on trust - 2 hour(s) ago
Recent events have shown how easily trust can be lost, writes Charlotte Summers Trust is central to the practice of medicine, but recent events have shown it to be fragile, even within our professional communities. In 2022, the Ipsos Global Trustworthiness Monitor asked people from 29 countries what attributes were most important when deciding whether to trust an organisation or institution.1 The top three responses were: “If it is reliable/keeps its promises,” “If it is open and transparent about what it does,” and “If it behaves responsibly.” Recent events have shown that our medical community has lessons to learn. The announcement by the UK Foundation Programme Office (UK FPO) that the appointment process for the Specialised Foundation Programme will change in 2025 to preference-informed allocation, a …

Congenital means present from birth. So congenital heart defects refer to a number of different conditions that can occur when a baby’s heart is forming. As a result, the heart – or the major vessels in and around the heart – may not develop or work the way they should. Worldwide, congenital heart disease is the most common type of birth defect. Nearly 1 out of 100 babies are born with some sort of structural heart defect, affecting about 40,000 infants a year in the United States, according to the
