Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty for bioprosthetic mitral valve stenosis.
Percutaneous transcatheter mitral valvuloplasty is the indicated treatment of choice for symptomatic native mitral valve stenosis, but there have been limited reports of successful procedures of balloon valvuloplasty for bioprosthetic mitral valve stenosis. We present the case of a 62-year-old woman suffering from progressive dyspnea due to bioprosthetic mitral valve stenosis. The measured mean pressure gradient across the mitral valve was 30 mmHg and the mitral valve area was 0.73 cm(2). Redoing mitral replacement was considered high risk and was refused by the patient. Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty was performed with an Inoue balloon catheter inflated to 20 mm. The patient's symptoms immediately improved after the procedure, with no procedure-related complications. The mean pressure gradient across the valve decreased to 19 mmHg, and the mitral valve area increased to 1.21 cm(2) in postprocedural echocardiography. We conducted a literature search and identified 26 cases of balloon valvuloplasty for degenerated bioprosthetic valves. Of these, 14 cases were bioprosthetic mitral valves, and the results were favorable. However, more case reports are required to establish an evidence base for future expert recommendation of balloon valvuloplasty of prosthetic mitral valve. Meanwhile, balloon valvuloplasty will serve a niche role in highly selected patients with prosthetic mitral valve stenosis
p120 Catenin Recruits Cadherins to γ-Secretase and Inhibits Production of Aβ Peptide*S⃞
The γ-secretase complex cleaves many transmembrane proteins,
including amyloid precursor protein, EphB and ErbB tyrosine kinase receptors,
Notch1 receptors, and adhesion factors. Presenilin 1, the catalytic subunit of
γ-secretase, associates with the cadherin/catenin cell-cell
adhesion/communication system and promotes cadherin processing
(Georgakopoulos, A., et al. (1999) Mol. Cell 4,
893–902; Marambaud, P., et al. (2002) EMBO J. 21,
1948–1956), but the mechanism by which γ-secretase and cadherins
associate is unclear. Here we report that p120 catenin (p120ctn), a component
of the cadherin-catenin complex, recruits γ-secretase to cadherins, thus
stimulating their processing while inhibiting production of Aβ peptide
and the amyloid precursor protein intracellular domain. This function of
p120ctn depends on both p120ctn-cadherin and p120ctn-presenilin 1 binding,
indicating that p120ctn is the central factor that bridges γ-secretase
and cadherin-catenin complexes. Our data show that p120ctn is a unique
positive regulator of the γ-secretase processing of cadherins and a
negative regulator of the amyloid precursor protein processing. Furthermore,
our data suggest that specific members of the γ-secretase complex may be
used to recruit different substrates and that distinct PS1 sequences are
required for processing of APP and cadherins
PS1 activates PI3K thus inhibiting GSK-3 activity and tau overphosphorylation: effects of FAD mutations
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) promotes cell survival and communication by activating its downstream effector Akt kinase. Here we show that PS1, a protein involved in familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD), promotes cell survival by activating the PI3K/Akt cell survival signaling. This function of PS1 is unaffected by γ-secretase inhibitors. Pharmacological and genetic evidence indicates that PS1 acts upstream of Akt, at or before PI3K kinase. PS1 forms complexes with the p85 subunit of PI3K and promotes cadherin/PI3K association. Furthermore, conditions that inhibit this association prevent the PS1-induced PI3K/Akt activation, indicating that PS1 stimulates PI3K/Akt signaling by promoting cadherin/PI3K association. By activating PI3K/Akt signaling, PS1 promotes phosphorylation/inactivation of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3), suppresses GSK-3-dependent phosphorylation of tau at residues overphosphorylated in AD and prevents apoptosis of confluent cells. PS1 FAD mutations inhibit the PS1-dependent PI3K/Akt activation, thus promoting GSK-3 activity and tau overphosphorylation at AD-related residues. Our data raise the possibility that PS1 may prevent development of AD pathology by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. In contrast, FAD mutations may promote AD pathology by inhibiting this pathway
