The complex network of mTOR signalling in the heart

Sebastiano Sciarretta et al.

Summary: mTOR integrates various signals in the cardiovascular system, playing both adaptive and maladaptive functions in cardiac development and response to stress. Modulating mTOR may hold promise as a therapeutic strategy for cardiac diseases.

Degenerative changes of the aortic valve during left ventricular assist device support

Mareike Barth et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of LVAD support on structural and molecular alterations of the aortic valve, finding that LVAD support leads to signs of early aortic valve degeneration independent of support duration. This suggests that the aortic valve of patients with LVAD support should be closely monitored.

Uncoupling the Vicious Cycle of Mechanical Stress and Inflammation in Calcific Aortic Valve Disease

Nalin H. Dayawansa et al.

Summary: Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a common acquired valvulopathy that lacks effective medical therapies. Mechanical stress and mechanosensing play critical roles in the perpetuation of valvular inflammation, and targeting mechanosensing pathways may provide promising interventions and prognostic biomarkers for CAVD management.

Investigation of the effects of mTOR inhibitors rapamycin and everolimus in combination with carboplatin on canine malignant melanoma cells

Sarah Bernard et al.

Summary: Combining rapamycin or everolimus with carboplatin chemotherapy shows synergistic effects in reducing cell viability in canine melanoma. These mTOR inhibitors can decrease glycolytic activity and modulate the mTOR signaling pathway in melanoma cells.

Backstage players of fibrosis: NOX4, mTOR, HDAC, and S1P; companions of TGF-β

Alexis Paulina Jimenez-Uribe et al.

Summary: Fibrosis is characterized by pathological excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, involving a complex network of signal transduction pathways, with TGF-β playing a central role. Additionally, molecules not typically associated with fibrosis such as NOX4, mTOR, HDAC, and S1P have been found to be critical in its development.

Down-Regulation of the Proteoglycan Decorin Fills in the Tumor-Promoting Phenotype of Ionizing Radiation-Induced Senescent Human Breast Stromal Fibroblasts

Eleni Mavrogonatou et al.

Summary: Ionizing radiation for breast cancer can lead to premature senescence of stromal fibroblasts, characterized by the down-regulation of decorin. Growth factors like bFGF and VEGF play critical roles in this regulation. Autophagy activation can increase decorin levels, while impaired autophagy is implicated in decorin reduction.

Crosstalk of Diabetic Conditions with Static Versus Dynamic Flow Environment-Impact on Aortic Valve Remodeling

Jessica Selig et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the influence of hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia on degenerative processes in valvular tissue, and found that dynamic cultivation resulted in significantly stronger fibrosis in AV tissue compared to static cultivation. Hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia altered the expression of key differentiation markers and proteoglycans in a manner dependent on the environment, and affected insulin-signaling pathways.

Rapalink-1 Increased Infarct Size in Early Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion With Increased Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption

Oak Z. Chi et al.

Summary: This study found that the third-generation mTOR inhibitor Rapalink-1 exacerbates blood-brain barrier disruption in the early stage of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, leading to worsened neuronal damage.

Mechanical Overloading Induced-Activation of mTOR Signaling in Tendon Stem/Progenitor Cells Contributes to Tendinopathy Development

Daibang Nie et al.

Summary: The study found that mechanical loading activates the mTOR signaling pathway in tendon stem/progenitor cells. The use of rapamycin, a specific inhibitor of mTOR, can attenuate mTOR activation and reduce non-tenocyte differentiation. In animal studies, rapamycin injections were effective in reducing tendon degenerative changes induced by intensive treadmill running.
