Microrna-140 Is Elevated And Mitofusin-1 Is Downregulated In The Right Ventricle Of The Sugen5416/Hypoxia/Normoxia Model Of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, Sachindra Raj Joshi, Vidhi Dhagia, Salina Gairhe, John G. Edwards, Ivan F. Mcmurtry, Sachin A. Gupte

NYMC Faculty Publications

Heart failure, a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), is an outcome of complex biochemical processes. In this study, we determined changes in microRNAs (miRs) in the right and left ventricles of normal and PAH rats. Using an unbiased quantitative miR microarray analysis, we found 1) miR-21-5p, miR-31-5 and 3p, miR-140-5 and 3p, miR-208b-3p, miR-221-3p, miR-222-3p, miR-702-3p, and miR-1298 were upregulated (>2-fold; P < 0.05) in the right ventricle (RV) of PAH compared with normal rats; 2) miR-31-5 and 3p, and miR-208b-3p were upregulated (>2-fold; P < 0.05) in the left ventricle plus septum (LV+S) of PAH compared with normal rats; 3) miR-187-5p, miR-208a-3p, and miR-877 were downregulated (>2-fold; P < 0.05) in the RV of PAH compared with normal rats; and 4) no miRs were up- or downregulated with >2-fold in LV+S compared with RV of PAH and normal. Upregulation of miR-140 and miR-31 in the hypertrophic RV was further confirmed by quantitative PCR. …

20-Hete Contributes To Ischemia-Induced Angiogenesis, Li Chen, Gregory Joseph, Frank F. Zhang, Huyen Nguyen, Houli Jiang, Katherine H. Gotlinger, John R. Falck, Jing Yang, Michal L. Schwartzman, Austin M. Guo

NYMC Faculty Publications

Angiogenesis is an important adaptation for recovery from peripheral ischemia. Here, we determined whether 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) contributes to ischemia-induced angiogenesis and assessed its underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms using a mouse hindlimb-ischemia angiogenesis model. Hindlimb blood flow was measured by Laser Doppler Perfusion Imaging and microvessel density was determined by CD31 and tomato lectin staining. We found that systemic and local administration of a 20-HETE synthesis inhibitor, DDMS, or a 20-HETE antagonist, 6,15-20-HEDGE significantly reduced blood flow recovery and microvessel formation in response to ischemia. 20-HETE production, measured by LC/MS/MS, was markedly increased in ischemic muscles (91±11 vs. 8±2pg/mg …

How Challenged And Overwhelmed Faculty Become Supported And Empowered In Curriculum Development, Evaluation And Revision, Meredith L. Roberts

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Session presented on Sunday, July 24, 2016:

Purpose: To discover the perceptions of faculty related to their preparedness and confidence in developing, evaluating, and revising nursing curriculum and to use faculty's constructions to develop a theory (challenged and overwhelmed) and model of understanding (Supported and Empowered) to support faculty's growth and competence in curriculum development, evaluation and revisio.

Methods: Constructivist Grounded Theory explored and compared the perceptions and processes of nursing faculty regarding their preparedness and confidence in developing, evaluating, and revising curriculum and the processes used for preparation. The Excellence in Nursing Education Model (NLN, 2006) assisted in providing …

Effect Of Turbulence And Roughness On Coupled Porous-Medium/Free-Flow Exchange Processes, Thomas Fetzer, Kathleen M. Smits, Rainer Helmig

Civil Engineering Faculty Publications - Archive

The interactions between turbulent free flow and flow in a porous medium are of key interest in different fields, e.g., meteorology, agriculture, building physics, and aerospace engineering. Properly understanding the strongly coupled exchange processes between the two domains is crucial to describing these interactions. In (Mosthaf et al. in Water Resources Research 47(10):W10522, 2011. doi:10.1029/2011WR010685), a concept for coupling laminar compositional single-phase free flow to compositional two-phase porous-medium flow under non-isothermal conditions was presented. In this study, the existing coupling concept is first extended to turbulent free-flow conditions. This includes the interface conditions between a Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes free flow using …

20-Hete Activates The Transcription Of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Via Nuclear Factor-Κb Translocation And Promoter Binding, Victor Garcia, Brian Shkolnik, Laura Milhau, John R. Falck, Michal Laniado Schwartzman

NYMC Faculty Publications

Increased vascular 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a cytochrome P450 arachidonic acid metabolite, promotes vascular dysfunction, injury, and hypertension that is dependent, in part, on the renin angiotensin system (RAS). We have shown that, in human microvascular endothelial cells, 20-HETE increases angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) mRNA, protein, and ACE activity via an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/tyrosine kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/inhibitor of κB kinase (IKK)β-mediated signaling pathway. In this work, we show that, similar to epidermal growth factor (EGF), 20-HETE (10 nM) activates EGFR by stimulating tyrosine phosphorylation; however, unlike 20-HETE, EGF does not induce ACE expression, and pretreatment with a neutralizing antibody …
