Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can rarely arise from non-lipid-rich coronary plaques. This study sought to compare the clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between AMI showing maximum lipid-core burden index in 4 mm (maxLCBI4mm) < 400 and ≥ 400 in the infarct-related lesions assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS). We investigated 426 AMI patients who underwent NIRS-IVUS in the infarct-related lesions before PCI. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were defined as the composite of cardiac death, non-fatal MI, clinically driven target lesion revascularization (TLR), clinically driven non-TLR, and congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization. 107 (25%) patients had infarct-related lesions of maxLCBI4mm < 400, and 319 (75%) patients had those of maxLCBI4mm ≥ 400. The maxLCBI4mm < 400 group had a younger median age at onset (68 years [IQR: 57-78 years] vs. 73 years [IQR: 64-80 years], P = 0.007), less frequent multivessel disease (39% vs. 51%, P = 0.029), less frequent TIMI flow grade 0 or 1 before PCI (62% vs. 75%, P = 0.007), and less frequent no-reflow immediately after PCI (5% vs. 11%, P = 0.039). During a median follow-up period of 31 months [IQR: 19-48 months], the frequency of MACE was significantly lower in the maxLCBI4mm < 400 group compared with the maxLCBI4mm ≥ 400 group (4.7% vs. 17.2%, P = 0.001). MaxLCBI4mm < 400 was an independent predictor of MACE-free survival at multivariable analysis (hazard ratio: 0.36 [confidence interval: 0.13-0.98], P = 0.046). MaxLCBI4mm < 400 measured by NIRS in the infract-related lesions before PCI was associated with better long-term clinical outcomes in AMI patients.

Abstract
Depression is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is significantly associated with the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We investigated the effect of repeated social defeat (RSD) on AAA development. Eight-week-old male wild-type mice were exposed to RSD by being housed with larger CD-1 mice in a shared cage. They were subjected to vigorous physical contact. After the confirmation of depressive-like behavior, calcium chloride was applied to the infrarenal aorta of the mice. At one week, AAA development was comparable between the defeated and control mice, without any differences being observed in the accumulated macrophages or in the matrix metalloproteinase activity. At two weeks, the maximum diameter and circumference of the aneurysm were significantly increased in the defeated mice, and a significant decrease in periaortic fibrosis was also observed. Consistently, the phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase and the incorporation of 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine in the primarily cultured aortic vascular smooth muscle cells were significantly reduced in the defeated mice, which was accompanied by a substantial increase in mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1). The MKP-1 mRNA and protein expression levels during AAA were much higher in the defeated mice than they were in the control mice. Our findings demonstrate that RSD enhances AAA development by suppressing periaortic fibrosis after an acute inflammatory response and imply novel mechanisms that are associated with depression-related AAA development.

Abstract
Depression is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We have previously shown that repeated social defeat (RSD) exaggerates atherosclerosis development by enhancing neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation. In this study, we investigated the impact of RSD on arterial thrombosis. Eight-week-old male wild-type mice (C57BL/6J) were exposed to RSD by housing with larger CD-1 mice in a shared home cage. They were subjected to vigorous physical contact daily for 10 consecutive days. After confirming depression-like behaviors, mice underwent FeCl3-induced carotid arterial injury and were analyzed after 3 h. Although the volume of thrombi was comparable between the two groups, fibrin(ogen)-positive areas were significantly increased in defeated mice, in which Ly-6G-positive cells were appreciably co-localized with Cit-H3-positive staining. Treatment with DNase I completely diminished exaggerated fibrin-rich clot formation in defeated mice. Flow cytometric analysis showed that neutrophil CD11b expression before FeCl3 application was significantly higher in defeated mice than in control mice. In vitro NET formation induced by activated platelets was significantly augmented in defeated mice, which was substantially inhibited by anti-CD11b antibody treatment. Our findings demonstrate that RSD enhances fibrin-rich clot formation after arterial injury by enhancing NET formation, suggesting that NET can be a new therapeutic target in depression-related CVD.

Abstract
Background Hyperhomocysteinemia is caused by genetic and environmental factors, which can result in systemic arteriosclerosis and arteriovenous thrombosis including acute coronary syndrome. Thrombus burden in patients with acute coronary syndrome and hyperhomocysteinemia might involve the culprit lesion as compared with those without any coagulopathy. The primary percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation had been established as the treatment strategy for patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, in patients with acute coronary syndrome with high thrombus burden or uncontrolled coagulopathy, stent implantation might lead to slow-flow phenomenon or stent thrombosis. Therefore, the treatment strategy in these patients was not established. Case presentation A 49-year-old Japanese man with history of splenic infarction of unknown cause had continued anticoagulant therapy since its diagnosis, but stopped taking the medication several months ago. He presented with sudden-onset chest dorsalgia. Contrast computed tomography showed a small pulmonary embolism and his troponin I level was elevated on initial laboratory test. Coronary angiography revealed a contrast defect caused by a large thrombus from the proximal to mid portion of the left anterior descending artery. Near-infrared spectroscopy–intravascular ultrasonography showed a large amount of thrombus without lipid plaque. Therefore, revascularization was performed using a thrombus-aspiration catheter and intracoronary thrombolysis. In addition, , hyperhomocysteinemia and a deep vein thrombosis occurred. He was diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome complicated with pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis simultaneously induced by hyperhomocysteinemia. After 1 week of antithrombotic therapy, near-infrared spectroscopy–intravascular ultrasonography and optical coherence tomography revealed a decreased thrombus and no significant residual organic stenosis in the left anterior descending artery. He continued conservative therapy with antithrombotic medications including aspirin and warfarin and had no cardiovascular events after discharge. Follow-up coronary angiography and optical coherence tomography at 9 months revealed complete disappearance of the thrombus and no severe stenosis. Conclusions Hyperhomocysteinemia should be considered as a cause of arterial vein thrombosis of unknown cause. The antithrombotic therapy and percutaneous revascularization without stenting based on intravascular imaging might be a safe and effective treatment option in patients with acute coronary syndrome complicated with hyperhomocysteinemia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and objective
Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) has been shown to modulate vascular function and remodeling in adult offspring. Atherosclerotic vascular calcification is closely associated with the onset of cardiovascular event. We therefore investigated the impact of maternal HFD on calcification of atherogenic plaques.
Methods and results
Eight-week-old female apo-E−/− mice (C57BL/6) were fed an HFD or a normal diet (ND) one week prior to mating, and the diet was continued throughout gestation and lactation. Offspring of both groups were fed a high-cholesterol diet (HCD) from 8 weeks of age. Ex vivo osteogenic activity of aortic root and aortic arch was analyzed using in vivo imaging system (IVIS) with OsteoSense 680. Sixteen-week-old male offspring of HFD-fed dams (O-HFD) showed a 1.4-fold increase in fluorescent intensity compared with those of ND-fed dams (O-ND) (p<0.05). Likewise, female O-HFD showed a significantly increased osteogenic activity in aortic arch (154%, p<0.05). Percentages of plaque area and oil red O-positive area were comparable between O-ND and O-HFD of both genders, suggesting that augmented osteogenic activity in O-HFD is not dependent on the plaque size. To investigate the underlying mechanism of augmented calcified plaque formation in O-HFD, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of thoracic aorta form 8-week-old male offspring were primarily cultured and VSMCs calcification was induced by treatment with calcification media supplemented with phosphate (2.6 mM). Alizarin-red-positive area upon 10 days stimulation showed a 3.4-fold increase in VSMCs from O-HFD compared with that from O-ND (p<0.01). Consistently, western blotting analysis revealed that expression level of osteocalcin was significantly higher in O-HFD than O-ND, suggesting that osteochondrocytic transformation of VSMCs is augmented in O-HFD.
Conclusion
Our findings demonstrate that maternal HFD accelerates the development of atherogenic calcification independent of plaque size. In vitro transformation to osteochondrocytic-like cells is enhanced in VSMCs from offspring of HFD-fed dams. Inhibition of VSMCs skewing toward osteochondrocytic-like cells could be a potential therapeutic target for preventing the development of atherosclerotic vascular calcification.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and purpose
In acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients, major cardiovascular events during follow-up were equally attributable to recurrence at the site of culprit lesions and to non-culprit lesions, and mostly occurred within one year. Recent studies showed that Proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular events. However, the rigorous effects of PCSK9 inhibitor in patients with ACS, especially for the stabilization of plaque in the non-culprit lesions has not been identified. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a PCSK9 inhibitor for the plaque stabilization in the non-culprit lesion of ACS patients.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed the 10 ACS patients (STEMI:5 cases, NSTEMI:1 case, and UAP:4 cases) who had non-culprit lesions and were injected with a PCSK9 inhibitor. We analyzed 11 non-culprit lesions before and after PSCK9 injections by using a near-infrared intravascular ultrasonography (NIRS-IVUS).
Results
The follow up intervals were 229.4±82.9 days. Major cardiovascular events did not occur in all patients. The serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels were significantly decreased form 128±36.7 mg/dl to 26.7±7.4 mg/dl (P<0.01; Figure 1A). There were no significant changes in percent atheroma volume before and after PCSK9 injections. However, the max lipid core burden index (LCBI) were significantly improved from 392.5±155.8 to 209.4±116 (P<0.01; Figure 1B). Although the lesion characteristics did not change in the images, by IVUS, the LCBI of the lesion was significantly decreased after PCSK9 injections. This study suggested that NIRS-IVUS had the possibility of detection for the slight changes in the plaque characteristics, which could not be detected by only an IVUS.
Conclusion
This study suggested that the plaque morphology can be altered by the aggressive lipid lowering therapy by using a PCSK9 inhibitor, and NIRS-IVUS can detect these plaque stabilizations of non-culprit lesion in ACS patients.

Depression is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We have recently shown that repeated social defeat (RSD) precipitates depressive-like behaviors in apoE−/− mice and exaggerates atherosclerosis development by enhancing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation. Here, we investigated the impact of RSD on arterial thrombosis.
Methods and results
Eight-week-old male WT mice were exposed to RSD by housing with a larger CD-1 mouse in a shared home cage. They were subjected to vigorous physical contact daily for 10 consecutive days. Control mice were housed in the same gage without physical contact. After social interaction test to confirm depressive-like behaviors, defeated mice (19 of 31) and control mice (12 of 14) were underwent arterial injury at 10 wks of age. A filter paper saturated with 10% FeCl3 was applied on the adventitial surface of left carotid artery for 3 min and analyzed 3 hrs later. The volume of thrombi was comparable between the two groups. However, fibrinogen/fibrin-positive areas in immunofluorescent images significantly increased in defeated mice (27.8% vs. 48.8%, p<0.01). The number of Ly-6G-positive cells in thrombi was markedly higher in defeated mice (144/mm2 vs. 878/mm2, p<0.05). Further, Ly-6G-positive cells were almost accumulated at the inner surface of injured artery, which were co-localized with neutrophil elastase, Cit-H3, and CD41-positive staining. Treatment with DNase I completely diminished the exaggerated fibrin-rich clot formation in defeated mice to an extent similar to that in control mice (25.7% vs. 22.3%, p = ns), without affecting the volume of thrombi and accumulation of Ly-6G-positive cells. Given that platelet aggregations induced by ADP or collagen were comparable between the two groups, neutrophil functional properties primarily contribute to the exaggerated fibrin-rich clot formation in defeated mice. We then examined neutrophil subset and vulnerability to NETs formation. At 3 hrs after FeCl3 application, the numbers of immature neutrophils (Ly6Glo/+CXCR2-) were comparable between the two groups in both bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB). In contrast, the number of PB mature neutrophils (Ly6G+CXCR2+) was markedly higher in defeated mice than control mice (580±68 /μl vs. 1265±114, p<0.01). We next examined in vitro NETs formation upon PMA in BM mature neutrophils by FACS and nucleic acid staining. The percentage of double-positive cells (Cit-H3, MPO) was significantly higher in defeated mice (7.5% vs. 10.2%, p<0.05), as well as SYTOX green-positive cells expelling DNA fibers (8.1% vs. 11.8%, p<0.05).
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate for the first time that repeated social defeat enhances fibrin-rich clot formation after arterial injury by enhancing NETs formation via modulation of neutrophil functional properties, suggesting that NETosis could be a new therapeutic target in depression-related CVD development.

Abstract
Background and objective
Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) has been shown to modulate vascular function and remodeling in adult offspring. Here, we investigated the impact of maternal HFD on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation.
Methods and results
Eight-week-old female wild-type mice (C57BL/6) were fed a HFD or normal diet (ND) one week prior to mating, and the diet was continued throughout gestation and lactation. In eight-week-old male offspring, AAA was induced with the application of 0.5 M calcium chloride (CaCl2) on the infrarenal aorta. Offspring of HFD-fed dams (O-HFD) showed a significant increase in maximum outer diameter of AAA at 1, 4 and 8 weeks after surgery compared with offspring of ND-fed dams (O-ND). The lengths of outer circumference assessed by histological analysis were increased in O-HFD (p<0.05). Likewise, female O-HFD showed a greater length of outer circumference than female O-ND (p<0.05). While the number of F4/80-positive cells at 1 wk after surgery was comparable in the O-HFD and O-ND, the percentage of MMP-9/F4/80 double-positive cells was significantly increased in O-HFD. Consistently, fluorescent image of abdominal aorta taken by IVIS at 1 wk after surgery revealed a 2-fold increase in MMP activity. Intriguingly, F4/80-positive cells in O-HFD showed a 2.5-fold increase in co-staining with tartrate-resistant acid phosphate (TRAP), typical marker of osteoclast-like macrophages which abundantly secrete proteases than classically activated macrophages, while the percentage of TNF-α/F4/80 double-positive cells was comparable in the two groups. Pharmacological inhibition of osteoclastogenesis by zoledronic acid (ZA) (100μg/kg) completely abolished the exaggerated AAA development in O-HFD to an extent similar to that in O-ND, while AAA development in O-ND mice did not change after ZA treatment. Furthermore, in vitro TNF-α-induced osteoclast differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) showed a significantly higher number of TRAP-positive cells in O-HFD, accompanied by a significant increase in osteoclast-related genes expression. Western blotting analysis revealed that the expression of NFATc1, master regulator of osteoclastogenesis, was significantly higher in O-HFD than that in O-ND, and immunofluorescent imaging showed that nuclear translocation of NFATc1 upon TNF-α stimulation was significantly enhanced in O-HFD. We further examined the expression of IFN regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) which suppresses osteoclastogenesis by inhibiting the function and expression of NFATc1. IRF8 mRNA and nuclear protein expression levels were significantly lower in O-HFD than those in O-ND.
Conclusion
Our findings demonstrate that maternal HFD accelerates CaCl2-induced AAA expansion, accompanied by the exaggerated accumulation of osteoclast-like macrophages and augmented activity of MMPs. Inhibition of macrophages skewing toward osteoclast-like cells could be a potential therapeutic target for preventing AAA development.

Abstract
Background and objective
Depression is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and significantly associated with the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). We have recently shown that repeated social defeat (RSD) precipitates depressive-like behaviors in apoE−/− mice and exaggerates atherosclerosis development by enhancing leukocyte activation. Here, we investigated the impact of RSD on AAA formation.
Methods and results
Eight-week-old male WT mice were exposed to RSD by housing with a larger CD-1 mouse in a shared home cage. They were subjected to vigorous physical contact daily for 10 consecutive days. Control mice were housed in the same gage without physical contact. After social interaction test to confirm depressive-like behaviors, defeated mice (28 of 48) and control mice (31 of 36) underwent application of 0.5 M calcium chloride (CaCl2) on the infrarenal aorta to induce AAA. At 1 week after application, maximum diameter and circumference of external elastic membrane were comparable between the two groups. The number of F-4/80, MMP-9, and TNF-α-positive cells in immunofluorescent images were also comparable. Further, in vitro bone marrow derived macrophages stimulation by LPS did not show any difference in mRNA expression levels of inflammatory cytokines, suggesting no discernable difference in acute inflammatory response between the two groups. In contrast, at 2 weeks after application, at the time point when MMP-9 and TNF-α-positive cells were scarcely observed, maximum diameter and circumference of external elastic membrane were significantly increased in defeated mice (0.72 mm vs. 0.90 mm, 1.59 mm vs. 2.00 mm, respectively, Control vs. Defeat, p<0.01). Intriguingly, periaortic fibrotic area in aneurysmal portion was markedly decreased in defeated mice (12.5×103 μm2 vs. 3.7×103 μm2, Control vs. Defeat, p<0.01). Consistently, accumulation of α-SMA-positive cells in adventitia of aneurysmal portion was much less in defeated mice than control mice (876 cells/mm2 vs. 319 cells/mm2, Control vs. Defeat, p<0.05), whereas those in tunica media of non-aneurysmal portion did not show any difference between the two groups. We next focused on the segregated nucleus-containing atypical monocyte (SatM), specific subtypes of monocytes/macrophages that are involved in fibrosis in injured tissues during the healing phase. We could observe SatM fraction in AAA tissue of control mice using flow cytometry. We also found that mRNA expression level of C/EBPβ, an essential regulator for SatM differentiation, was markedly decreased by 76% in BM cells of defeated mice compared with control mice (p<0.05).
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate for the first time that RSD enhances AAA expansion by eliminating periaortic fibrosis in tissue repair phase, suggesting that the impaired resolution of acute inflammation after CaCl2 application contributes, at least in part, to the augmented expansion of AAA in defeated mice.

Abstract
To clarify the impact on left ventricular (LV) function of percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure in adult patients. Echocardiograms of 46 patients (52 ± 18 years) who underwent ASD closure with a significant left-to-right shunt obtained before and 1 month after the procedure were retrospectively analyzed. Functional parameters were obtained by 2-dimensional speckle-tracking imaging. Global longitudinal strain and strain rate at early diastole (SRe) was calculated from the three standard apical views, while circumferential and radial parameters were calculated from basal, middle, and apical LV short-axis views. Along with a diminished right ventricular (RV) volume, the LV volume and ejection fraction increased (end-diastolic volume: 61 ± 12 to 76 ± 15 mL, p < 0.001; and 63% ± 4 to 64% ± 4% p = 0.03; respectively). Both global strain and SRe was augmented only in the circumferential direction (- 16.2% ± 2.9% to - 19.8% ± 2.8%; and 1.07 ± 0.29 to 1.34 ± 0.28 s-1, both p < 0.001). Augmentation of circumferential SRe correlated with both the changes in and the pre-procedural value of diastolic LV eccentricity index (r = - 0.57, p < 0.001; and r = 0.37, p = 0.01; respectively), a morphological parameter of RV volume overload. Following ASD closure in adults, both LV systolic and diastolic function could favorably change in the circumferential direction, and the degree of diastolic functional change is associated with RV volume overload, i.e., severity of ventricular interdependence.

Abstract
Background Acute limb ischemia (ALI) and critical limb ischemia (CLI) following ALI are life-threatening diseases. The rare potential causes of ALI include hypercoagulable state diseases, such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and essential thrombocythemia (ET). Hypercoagulability often make revascularization for arterial occlusion, especially associated with infrapopliteal lesions, difficult. This is because the vessels have poor run-off, and elevated peripheral vascular resistance associated with microcirculation failure, due to a high thrombus burden. There is no established treatment for this issue. Case presentation A 45 years-old and a 56 years-old male suffered from thrombotic arterial occlusion as a first manifestation of APS and ET, respectively. Combination therapy with aggressive anti-thrombotic therapy and revascularization, such as endovascular therapy and surgical thrombectomy based on the angiosome concept, was performed. However, the high thrombus burden caused a poor pedal outflow, and significant limb ischemia remained. Additional pedal artery angioplasty was performed to improve residual limb ischemia in each case and provided sufficient blood flow to the foot. Conclusion The pedal artery angioplasty for thrombotic pedal artery occlusion cases, associated with hypercoagulable state diseases, seems to be a treatment option for relieving residual limb ischemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a significant impact on daily practice in cardiovascular medicine. The preparedness of healthcare workers (HCWs) can affect the spread of infection and the maintenance of the healthcare system. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, perception, and level of confidence regarding COVID-19 care among HCWs involved in cardiovascular medicine. METHODS A cross-sectional, web-based study about COVID-19 was performed between April 22 and May 7, 2020, among 311 HCWs in cardiovascular departments. The demographic information, COVID-19-related knowledge, and perception and level of confidence toward COVID-19 care were assessed. RESULTS The median age of the participants was 38 years, and 215 (69.8%) were male. There were 134 (43.1%) physicians and 177 (56.9%) non-physician HCWs. The HCWs, especially non-physician HCWs, had insufficient knowledge about infection-prevention measures for COVID-19, such as how to isolate patients with COVID-19, how to use personal protective equipment, and how to prevent infection during aerosol-generating procedures. Most HCWs showed a low level of confidence toward COVID-19 care, and such poor confidence was associated with the lack of knowledge on optimal infection-prevention measures. CONCLUSIONS This survey revealed the lack of knowledge about adequate infection-prevention measures for COVID-19. More attention should be paid to the preparedness of HCWs, and educating and supporting HCWs involved in cardiovascular medicine is an urgent need.

Abstract
Social stress (SS) has been linked to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is closely associated with insulin resistance (IR); however, the causal effect of SS on IR remains unclear. The 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to SS by housing with a larger CD-1 mouse in a shared home cage without physical contact for 10 consecutive days followed by high-fat diet (HFD) feeding. Control mice were housed in the same cage without a CD-1 mouse. After 6 weeks of HFD, insulin sensitivity was significantly impaired in stressed mice. While the percentage of classically activated macrophages in epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) was equivalent between the two groups, the percentage of lymphocyte antigen 6 complex locus G6D (Ly-6G)/neutrophil elastase (NE)-double positive cells markedly increased in stressed mice, accompanied by augmented NE activity assessed by ex vivo eWAT fluorescent imaging. Treatment with an NE inhibitor completely abrogated the insulin sensitivity impairment of stressed mice. In vitro NE release upon stimulation with a formyl peptide receptor 1 agonist was significantly higher in bone marrow neutrophils of stressed mice. Our findings show that SS-exposed mice are susceptible to the development of HFD-induced IR accompanied by augmented NE activity. Modulation of neutrophil function may represent a potential therapeutic target for SS-associated IR.

Abstract
Objective Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) has been shown to promote the development of insulin resistance (IR) in adult offspring; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Methods Eight-week-old female wild-type mice (C57BL/6) were fed either an HFD or a normal diet (ND), one week prior to mating, and the diet was continued throughout gestation and lactation. Eight-week-old male offspring of both groups were fed an HFD for 8 weeks. Results Offspring of HFD-fed dams (O-HFD) exhibited significantly impaired insulin sensitivity compared with the offspring of ND-fed dams (O-ND). The adipocyte size of the eWAT increased significantly in O-HFD and was accompanied by abundant crown-like structures (CLSs), as well as a higher concentration of interleukin 1β (IL-1β) in the eWAT. Treatment with an inflammasome inhibitor, MCC950, completely abrogated the enhanced IR in O-HFD. However, ex vivo caspase-1 activity in eWAT revealed no difference between the two groups. In contrast, noncanonical inflammasome activation of caspase-11 was significantly augmented in O-HFD compared with O-ND, suggesting that membrane pore formation, but not cleavage of pro-IL-1β by caspase-1, is augmented in O-HFD. To examine the membrane pore formation, we performed metabolic activation of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). The percentage of pore formation assessed by ethidium bromide staining was significantly higher in BMDMs of O-HFD, accompanied by an enhanced active caspase-11 expression. Consistently, the concentration of IL-1β in culture supernatants was significantly higher in the BMDMs from O-HFD than those from O-ND. Conclusions These findings demonstrate that maternal HFD exaggerates diet-induced IR in adult offspring by enhancing noncanonical caspase-11-mediated inflammasome activation. Maternal HFD increases the vulnerability to HFD-induced IR in adult offspring. Maternal HFD augments inflammasome activation in eWAT in adult offspring. Treatment with an inflammasome inhibitor abrogates IR in offspring of HFD-fed dam. Maternal HFD augments the noncanonical inflammasome activation pathway of caspase-11. Maternal HFD augments IL-1β release from BMDMs by enhancing membrane pore formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of a bioresorbable scaffold and antiproliferative drugs is a promising treatment for peripheral artery disease. The novel paclitaxel-eluting peripheral Igaki-Tamai stent (PTX-ITS) has the same backbone design as the drug-free peripheral Igaki-Tamai stent and a paclitaxel coating. Arterial responses to the PTX-ITS and ITS using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and histological analysis in a porcine iliac artery model were compared.Methods and Results:In total, 6 PTX-ITSs and 6 ITSs implanted in porcine iliac arteries were evaluated. Quantitative measurements of the scaffold, lumen, neointimal areas, and percent area stenosis were performed using OCT at 1 and 3 months. Histological evaluations (PTX-ITS [n=5], ITS [n=4]) were performed following euthanasia at 3 months. Injury, inflammation, endothelialization, and fibrin scores were measured. Baseline angiographic characteristics were similar in both groups. The ITS group showed significantly smaller scaffold areas than the PTX-ITS group at 1 month (18.50±3.62 mm2vs. 23.54±3.64 mm2; P=0.037) and 3 months (15.82±2.57 mm2vs. 21.67±3.57 mm2; P=0.009). Percent area stenosis was significantly lower in the PTX-ITS group at 3 months (28.70±7.24% vs. 40.36±7.07%; P=0.018). Histological evaluations revealed similar low-grade inflammatory reactions for both scaffolds. CONCLUSIONS PTX-ITSs showed significantly better suppression of late scaffold shrinkage and lower in-scaffold stenosis for up to 3 months. Additionally, PTX-ITSs exhibited high biocompatibility, which is comparable to ITSs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and objective
Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) has been shown to modulate vascular function and remodeling in adult offspring. Here, we investigated the impact of maternal HFD on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation.
Methods and results
Eight-week-old female wild-type mice (C57BL/6) were fed a HFD or normal diet (ND) one week prior to mating and received during pregnancy and lactation. In eight-week-old offspring of both genders, AAA was induced with the application of 0.5M calcium chloride (CaCl2) on the infrarenal aorta. Male offspring of HFD-fed dams (O-HFD) showed a significant increase in maximum outer diameter of AAA at 1, 4 and 8 weeks after surgery compared with offspring of ND-fed dams (O-ND) (P<0.05). The lengths of outer circumference assessed by histological analysis were increased in O-HFD (P<0.05). Likewise, female O-HFD showed a greater length of outer circumference than female O-ND (P<0.05). While the number of F4/80-positive cells at 1 wk after surgery was comparable between the male O-HFD and O-ND, the percentage of MMP-9/F4/80 double-positive cells was significantly increased in male O-HFD. Consistently, fluorescent image of abdominal aorta taken by IVIS at 1 wk after surgery revealed a 2-fold increase in MMP activity (P<0.01). Intriguingly, F4/80-positive cells in male O-HFD showed a 2.5-fold increase in co-staining with tartrate-resistant acid phosphate (TRAP), typical marker of osteoclast-like macrophages which abundantly secrete proteases than classically activated macrophages (M1), while the percentage of TNF-α/F4/80 double-positive cells was comparable between the 2 groups. Pharmacological inhibition of osteoclastogenesis by zoledronic acid (ZA) (100μg/kg) completely abolished the exaggerated AAA development in male O-HFD to a similar extent of that in male O-ND, while AAA development in male O-ND mice did not change even after ZA treatment. Furthermore, in vitro TNF-α-induced osteoclast differentiation of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) showed a significantly higher number of TRAP-positive cells, accompanied by increased calcitonin receptor mRNA expression. Western blotting analysis showed that protein expression level of NFATc1, master regulator of osteoclastogenesis, was significantly higher in BMDM of O-HFD than O-ND.
Conclusion
Our findings demonstrate that maternal HFD accelerates CaCl2-induced AAA expansion, accompanied by the exaggerated accumulation of osteoclast-like macrophages and augmented activity of MMPs. Inhibition of macrophages skewing toward osteoclast-like cells could be a potential therapeutic target for preventing AAA development.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and objective
Depression is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We have recently shown that repeated social defeat (RSD) precipitates depressive-like behaviorsin apoE−/− mice and exaggerates atherosclerosis development by enhancing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation (BBRC 2018; 500:490). Here, we investigated the impact of RSD on arterial thrombosis.
Methods and results
Eight-week-old male WT mice were exposed to RSDby housing with a larger CD-1 mouse in a shared home cage. They were subjected to vigorous physical contact daily for 10 consecutive days. Control mice were housed in the same gage without physical contact. After social interaction testto confirm depressive-like behaviors, defeated mice (19 of 31) and control mice (12 of 14) were underwent arterial injury at 10 wks of age. A filter paper saturated with 10% FeCl3was applied on the adventitial surface of left carotid artery for 3 min and analyzed 3 hrs later. The volume of thrombi calculated by summing8–15 frozen cross-sectional images, each separated by 200 μm, was comparable between the 2 groups. However, fibrinogen/fibrin-positive areas in immunofluorescent images were significantly increased in defeated mice (27.8% vs. 48.8%, Control vs. Defeat, P<0.01).The numberof Ly-6G-positive cells in thrombi was markedly higher in defeated mice (144/mm2 vs. 878/mm2, Control vs. Defeat, P<0.05). Further, Ly-6G-positive cells were almost accumulated at the inner surface of injured artery, which were co-localized with neutrophil elastase, Cit-H3, and CD41-positive staining. Treatment with DNase Icompletely diminished the exaggerated fibrin-rich clot formation in defeated miceto a similar extent of control mice (25.7% vs. 22.3%, Control vs. Defeat, P= NS), while the volume of thrombi and number of Ly-6G-positive cells in thrombi were comparable between the 2 groups even afterDNase I treatment. Platelet aggregations induced by ADP or collagen were comparable between the 2 groups, suggesting that NETs formation primarily contributes to the exaggerated fibrin-rich clot formation in defeated mice.
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate for the first time that repeated social defeat enhances fibrin-rich clot formation after arterial injury by enhancing NETs formation, suggesting that NETosis could be a new therapeutic target in depression-related CVD development.

Abstract
Background
Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) has been shown to promote the development of insulin resistance (IR) in adult offspring; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
Approach and results
Eight-week-old female wild-type mice (C57BL/6) were fed a HFD or normal diet (ND) one week prior to mating, and received during pregnancy and lactation. Eight-week-old male offspring of both groups were fed a HFD for 8 weeks. Offspring of HFD-fed dams (O-HFD) showed significantly enhanced IR compared with offspring of ND-fed dams (O-ND). There was no difference in body weight, epidydimal white adipose tissue (eWAT) weight, and cumulative caloric intake between the 2 groups. However, eWAT adipocyte size was significantly increased in O-HFD, accompanied by the abundant crown-like structures. Flow cytometric analysis revealed an increased percentage of M1, but not M2, macrophages. Serum and eWAT concentrations of IL-1β, but not TNF-α, were significantly higher in O-HFD than O-ND (3.7-fold and 2.0-fold, respectively, P<0.05). Treatment with NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor MCC950 completely abrogated the enhanced IR in O-HFD to a similar extent of that in O-ND, although IR was modestly, but not significantly, ameliorated in O-ND even after MCC950 treatment. Consistent with in vivo findings, in vitro polarization of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) did not show any difference in TNF-α mRNA expression after conventional stimulation. In contrast, palmitate acid (PA)-mediated metabolic activation of BMDMs following LPS priming showed a significantly higher concentration of IL-1β in culture supernatants from O-HFD (45%, P<0.05). However, protein expression levels of NLRP-3, ASC, and procaspase-1 after LPS priming were equivalent between the 2 groups. Consistently, intracellular flow cytometric analysis of caspase-1 activity after PA activation did not show any difference, which was compatible with the finding that ex vivo caspase-1 activity of eWAT assessed by fluorescent image of IVIS revealed no difference between the 2 groups. To further examine the mechanism of augmented IL-1β release in BMDM of O-HFD, we examined the cleavage of caspase substrate gasdermin D (GSDMD) and subsequent pore formation. Protein and gene expression levels of GSDM-D after LPS priming were significantly higher in O-HFD (50% and 381%, respectively, P<0.05). At 2 hrs after PA stimulation following LPS priming, cleaved GSDM-D was significantly increased in O-HFD (80%, P<0.01). Consistently, percentage of pore formation assessed by ethidium bromide staining was significantly higher in O-HFD (60%, P<0.05), while LDH release could not be observed.
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate that maternal HFD exaggerates diet-induced insulin resistance in adult offspring by enhancing pyroptosis through augmented GSDM-D-mediated pore formation.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of guiding sheath delivery with the crossover approach using a newly customized inner dilator for a 0.018-in. guidewire of the Destination® guiding sheath (Terumo Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) (18-system), compared with that of the conventional-type 0.035-in. guidewires with inner dilators (35-system), and to predict failure of guiding sheath delivery. We conducted a prospective multicenter case series study of the contralateral crossover approach using Destination®, to determine whether the 18-system could be a rescue system in cases in which the conventional 35-system failed. To evaluate the efficacy of the 18-system, we created an in vitro aortoiliac bifurcation model by using a silicone vessel. We enrolled 172 cases consecutively. The initial crossover approach with the 35-system failed in 37 cases (21.5%), and a second attempt with the 18-system was successful in all failed cases. The bifurcation angles in the 35-system failure cases were significantly steeper than those in the 35-system success cases. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that an aortoiliac bifurcation angle of 68° was the optimal cut-off value for predicting failure of the crossover procedure. Data from the analysis using the silicone vessel model suggested that the 18-system provided superior results, especially in aortoiliac bifurcation angles steeper than 60°, consistent with the in vivo findings. The results of the initial use of the 18-system with the crossover approach suggest that it may be superior to the conventional 35-system, especially in cases of steeper aortoiliac bifurcation angles.

Abstract
PURPOSE: We evaluated the feasibility and safety of the reverse catheterization technique of the superficial femoral artery (ReCAT) for single-stage endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with bilateral infrainguinal diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated 24 consecutive patients (overall median age: 79 years; male patients: 21 [87.5%]) who underwent EVT for bilateral infrainguinal diseases. The objective of ReCAT was to perform single-stage EVT in patients with bilateral infrainguinal diseases with a one-time unilateral femoral artery puncture. The main outcomes were the incidence of puncture site complications, including major bleeding or hematoma requiring transfusion, pseudoaneurysm, and arteriovenous fistula, and ReCAT procedure-related arterial dissection or perforation, which were assessed by ultrasonography on the day after the procedure. The secondary outcome measures were in-hospital mortality and in-hospital amputation. RESULTS: Reverse catheterization technique of the superficial femoral artery was successful in 23 (95.8%) of the 24 patients; it failed in 1 patient due to severe calcification and a previously implanted stent in the ipsilateral iliac artery. The median operation time, radiation time, and the volume of contrast media used were 108 (84-142) minutes, 37 (27-55) minutes, and 111 (80-157) mL, respectively. There were no incidences of puncture site complications and arterial dissection related to the ReCAT procedure. One case of vessel perforation in a branch of the ipsilateral superficial femoral artery occurred due to flipped guidewire injury. CONCLUSION: Reverse catheterization technique of the superficial femoral artery is safe and effective in performing single-stage EVT for bilateral infrainguinal diseases. It might also reduce the number of EVTs and complications due to multiple femoral artery punctures.

Abstract
Depression is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, the causal association remains undefined. We exposed mice to repeated social defeat (RSD) to precipitate depressive-like behaviors, and investigated the effects on atherosclerosis. Eight-week-old male apoE-/- mice were exposed to RSD by housing with a larger CD-1 mouse in a shared home cage. They were subjected to vigorous physical contact daily for 10 consecutive days and fed a high-cholesterol diet (HCD) for 6 weeks. The social interaction ratio and immobility time showed dramatic social avoidance before and after HCD feeding. Defeated mice showed higher increase in atherosclerotic lesion areas in the aortic root and entire aorta than control mice. Mean blood pressure and lipid profile were equivalent in both groups. While Ly-6G- and Mac3-positive areas in the aortic root were comparable between the groups, citrullinated histone H3 (Cit-H3)- and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive areas, markers of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), were significantly increased in the defeated mice. Treatment with DNase I completely diminished the exaggerated atherosclerosis. The proportion of peripheral blood polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSC), but not of inflammatory monocytes, was markedly increased. Moreover, in vitro NETs formation from bone marrow (BM) PMN-MDSC was markedly augmented, accompanied by higher expression of Nox2 gene and reactive oxygen species. Our findings demonstrate that exposure to RSD promotes atherosclerosis by augmenting NETs formation within the plaque. This provides new insight into the underlying mechanism of depression-related CVD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors, a novel oral anti-diabetic agents, exert a protective effect on pancreatic β-cell function in patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM). However, their beneficial effect in hypertensive T2DM patients treated with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) has not been investigated. METHODS In this open-label multicenter randomized study, a total of 55 hypertensive T2DM patients treated with ARBs were randomly assigned to receive the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin or sulfonylurea (SU). RESULTS After 24 weeks of treatment, a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose was only observed in the sitagliptin group, while HbA1c was significantly reduced in both groups. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance was not significantly improved in either group. Indicators of pancreatic β-cell function, including proinsulin to insulin ratio and homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function, were significantly improved in the sitagliptin group, but not in the SU group. The beneficial effects of sitagliptin were observed in hypoglycemic drug naïve patients, but not in patients who had received SU monotherapy prior to the study. CONCLUSION Treatment with the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin might exert beneficial effects on pancreatic β-cell function in ARB-treated T2DM patients and its efficacy might be more pronounced in hypoglycemic drug naïve patients.

Abstract
Objective—
Maternal obesity elicits offspring’s metabolic disorders via developmental modifications of visceral adipose tissue; however, its effect on atherogenesis remains undefined. Perivascular adipose tissue has recently been implicated in vascular remodeling and vasoreactivity. We hypothesize that developmental modifications of perivascular adipose tissue by maternal high-fat diet (HFD) exposure promotes atherosclerosis in adult offspring.
Approach and Results—
Eight-week-old female apolipoprotein E-deficient mice were fed an HFD or normal diet (ND) during gestation and lactation. Offspring were fed a high-cholesterol diet from 8 weeks of age. Twenty-week-old male offspring of HFD-fed dams (O-HFD) showed a 2.1-fold increase in atherosclerotic lesion of the entire aorta compared with those of ND-fed dams (O-ND). Although mRNA expressions of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and accumulation of macrophages in epididymal white adipose tissue were less in O-HFD than in O-ND, thoracic periaortic adipose tissue (tPAT) showed an exaggerated inflammatory response in O-HFD. Intra-abdominal transplantation of tPAT from 8-week-old O-HFD alongside the distal abdominal aorta exaggerated atherosclerosis development of the infrarenal aorta in recipient apolipoprotein E-deficient mice compared with tPAT from O-ND (210%,
P
<0.01). Although macrophage accumulation was rarely detected in tPAT of 8-week-old offspring, mRNA expression and protein levels of macrophage colony–stimulating factor were markedly elevated in O-HFD (2.3-fold, 3.3-fold, respectively,
P
<0.05), suggesting that increased macrophage colony–stimulating factor expression contributes to the augmented accumulation of macrophages, followed by the enhanced proinflammatory response.
Conclusions—
Our findings demonstrate that maternal HFD exaggerates atherosclerosis development in offspring by augmenting tPAT-specific inflammatory response proceeded by an increased expression of macrophage colony–stimulating factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow (BM) Angiotensin II (Ang II) type 1 (AT1) receptor plays a crucial role in atherosclerosis development; however, the effect of BM Ang II type 2 (AT2) receptor on atherogenesis remains undefined. METHODS AND RESULTS We generated BM chimera apoE-deficient (apoE(-/-)) mice whose BM cells were repopulated with AT2-deficient (Agtr2(-/-)) or wild-type (Agtr2(+/+)) cells. After 2 months of a high-cholesterol diet, the atherosclerotic lesion area was significantly increased in the apoE(-/-)/BM-Agtr2(-/-) mice compared with the apoE(-/-)/BM-Agtr2(+/+) mice (51%, P < 0.05), accompanied by an augmented accumulation of lesion macrophages. Although phenotypic polarization in BM-derived macrophages and lipopolysaccharide-induced expression of proinflammatory cytokines in thioglycollate-induced peritoneal macrophages (TGPMs) were not affected by AT2-deficiency, mRNA and protein expression levels of macrophage liver X receptor β (LXRβ) were significantly decreased in Agtr2(-/-) TGPMs compared with Agtr2(+/+) TGPMs. Anti-inflammatory effects of LXR agonist (GW3965) were markedly inhibited in Agtr2(-/-) TGPMs. Furthermore, the expression levels of ATP-binding cassette transporter ABCA1 and CCR7 were much lower in Agtr2(-/-) TGPMs than Agtr2(+/+) TGPMs, accompanied by a significantly reduced cholesterol efflux. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that BM-AT2 deficiency aggravates atherosclerosis, at least in part, by eliminating the anti-atherogenic properties of macrophages elicited by LXRβ activation.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. The perivascular adipose tissue is closely implicated in the development of atherosclerosis; however, the contribution to CKD-associated atherogenesis remains undefined. Eight-week-old apoE-deficient mice were uninephrectomized and fed a high-cholesterol diet starting at 12 wk of age. The atherosclerotic lesion area in the thoracic aorta was comparable in 16-wk-old uninephrectomized (UNX) mice and sham control mice; however, the lesion area was markedly exaggerated in 20-wk-old UNX mice compared with the control (54%, P < 0.05). While the accumulation of monocytes/macrophages and the mRNA expression levels of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines in the thoracic periaortic adipose tissue (PAT) did not differ between the two groups, angiotensinogen (AGT) mRNA expression and the angiotensin II (ANG II) concentration in the PAT were significantly higher in 16-wk-old UNX mice than in the control (1.9- and 1.5-fold increases vs. control, respectively; P < 0.05). ANG II concentrations in both the plasma and epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT) were comparable between the two groups, suggesting that PAT-specific activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is primarily involved in CKD-associated atherogenesis. The homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index and plasma insulin level after glucose loading were significantly elevated in 16-wk-old UNX mice. In vitro stimulation of preadipocytes with insulin exaggerated the AGT mRNA expression along with increased mRNA expression of PPARγ. These findings suggest that PAT-specific RAS activation probably primarily contributes in accelerating atherosclerotic development in UNX mice and could thus represent a therapeutic target for preventing CKD-associated atherogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The mechanism regulating skeletal muscle mass is unclear. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the extent to which insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), their receptors (IGFRs), and binding proteins (IGFBPs) are involved in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass. DESIGN We measured the mRNA expression levels for IGFs, IGFRs, and IGFBPs in the rat masseter muscle hypertrophied by oral administration of clenbuterol for 3 weeks and determined the correlations between the weight of masseter muscle and the mRNA expression levels. RESULTS The mRNA expression levels for IGF-I and II, IGFR1 and 2, and IGFBP4 and 6 showed clenbuterol-induced elevations and positive correlations with the weight of masseter muscle. That for IGFBP3 only exhibited a clenbuterol-induced decrease and a strong negative correlation with the weight of masseter muscle. The mRNA expression levels for IGFBP2 and 5 showed no significant changes between the control and clenbuterol groups, and no significant correlations. IGFBP1 mRNA was not detectable. CONCLUSION These results suggest that IGF-I, II, IGFR1 and 2, and IGFBP3, 4 and 6 are related to the mechanism regulating masseter muscle mass in the rat.
