    Journal:  Prediction and primary prevention of major vascular complications in systemic sclerosis. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 1, 2021   
    in SSc patients, our data confirm the role of arthritis and dyspnea as independent predictors of major vascular complications, in particular in MVCs-naïve patients. Prostanoids, sildenafil and ARBs, even in absence of a primary preventive action, might help in slowing disease progression and postponing the onset of MVCs.

    Preclinical, Journal, IO biomarker:  Iloprost affects in vitro maturation and developmental competence of bovine oocytes. (Pubmed Central) -  May 28, 2021   
    Although, iloprost-enhanced maturation had no direct effect on number of embryos cleaved, it increased blastocyst rates of bovine embryos as well as proportion of expanded blastocysts. These results indicate that the supplementation of maturation medium with iloprost is beneficial for the maturation efficiency and developmental competence of bovine oocytes.

    Journal:  Thrombospondin-1 promotes hemostasis through modulation of cAMP signaling in blood platelets. (Pubmed Central) -  May 22, 2021   
    Genetic deletion of TSP-1 did not affect platelet activation in vitro, but in vivo models of hemostasis and thrombosis showed that TSP-1-deficient mice had prolonged bleeding, defective thrombosis, and increased sensitivity to the prostacyclin mimetic iloprost...Platelets deficient in CD36, a TSP-1 receptor, showed increased sensitivity to PGI2/cAMP signaling and diminished PDE3A activity, which was unaffected by platelet-derived or purified TSP-1. This scenario suggests that the release of TSP-1 regulates hemostasis in vivo through modulation of platelet cAMP signaling at sites of vascular injury.

    [VIRTUAL] AMINAPHTONE LONG-TERM TREATMENT IN SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS (Posters Viewing) -  May 21, 2021 - Abstract #EULAR2021EULAR_2769;    
    During an average observation period of three years, Aminaphtone showed a good tolerability profile along with sustained efficacy in 94% of patients with SSc-related RP, without disabling side effects. The absence of a placebo-control group, the retrospective design limit the results, and a randomized controlled trial for Aminaphtone use in the management of SSc-related RP is needed.

    Review, Journal:  Inhaled pulmonary vasodilators: a narrative review. (Pubmed Central) -  May 15, 2021   
    The literature suggests that inhaled aerosolized epoprostenol, iloprost, treprostinil and others such as milrinone and levosimendan may be similar to iNO. More research of IPV is needed to determine acceptable inclusion criteria, long-term outcomes, and management strategies including time, dose, and duration.

    [VIRTUAL] A rare cause of diffuse peripheral and central thromboses () -  May 12, 2021 - Abstract #BSH2021BSH_500;    
    A triphasic finger colour change was noted with livedo reticularis on her lower limbs; a decision to institute Iloprost and Methylprednisolone ensued...Management subsequently included the addi- tion of Rituximab, Plasma Exchange, IVIG and Sildenafil...Finally, the risk of immunosuppression for patients who have received Rituximab can persist for up to 12 months following treatment. This patient’s risk stratification was high in view of COVID-19 and she was advised to shield until government guideli- nes ended.

    Journal:  Extracellular vesicles from monocyte/platelet aggregates modulate human atherosclerotic plaque reactivity. (Pubmed Central) -  May 4, 2021   
    In conclusion, EVs released following monocyte/platelet activation may play a potential role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Whereas attenuating platelet activation modifies EV composition released from monocyte/platelet aggregates, curbing their pro-inflammatory actions may offer therapeutic avenues for the treatment of atherosclerosis.

    Journal:  Bronchodilation induced by PGE is impaired in Group-III pulmonary hypertension. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 10, 2021   
    This study shows that PGI -mimetics have preserved maximal bronchodilation in PH-Group III patients. The decreased bronchodilation induced by EP4 agonists suggests that restoration of EP4 expression in airways of PH-patients with respiratory diseases could bring additional therapeutic benefit.

    SSc pregnancies have generally a favorable obstetric/pediatric outcome, albeit at a higher risk of gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, fetal growth restriction, prematurity, delivery of SGA newborn and requirement of neonatal-ICU. Pregnancy does not impact on SSc course, although SRC during late pregnancy and pre-eclampsia might be hardly discriminated.

    Journal:  The Cell Cycle Checkpoint System MAST(L)-ENSA/ARPP19-PP2A is Targeted by cAMP/PKA and cGMP/PKG in Anucleate Human Platelets. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 20, 2021   
    Low-dose OA treatment of platelets caused PP2A inhibition, diminished thrombin-stimulated platelet aggregation and increased phosphorylation of distinct sites of VASP, Akt, p38 and ERK1/2 MAP kinases. In summary, our data establish the entire MASTL(like)-ENSA/ARPP19-PP2A pathway in human platelets and important interactions with the PKA, MAPK and PI3K/Akt systems.

    Inhalation of iloprost aerosol improved the hemodynamic parameters for all patients...AVT parameters, including pre-AVT, post-AVT and ΔAVT, have a more important prognostic value than currently used for identify a small subgroup of patients with PAH who are suitable for high-dose calcium channel blockers. Sex differences in AVT parameters suggest that sex should be taken into account in estimating prognosis.

    Journal:  The sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors synergize with nitric oxide and prostacyclin to reduce human platelet activation. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 23, 2021   
    Gliflozins (canagliflozin, dapagliflozin and empagliflozin) are the newest anti-hyperglycemic class and have offered cardiovascular and renal benefits...Aggregation, flow cytometry for glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, cyclic nucleotides and intracellular calcium levels, Western blot, thromboxane B (TXB) measurement and COX-1 activity were performed in the presence of gliflozins (1-30 μM) alone or in combination with sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 10 or 100 nM) + iloprost (ILO, 0.1 or 1 nM)...The intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP and the protein expression of p-VASPSer157 and p-VASPSer239 were not increased by gliflozins while the expression of the serine-threonine kinase, AktSer473 was markedly reduced. Our results showed that the antiplatelet activity of gliflozins were greatly enhanced by nitric oxide and prostacyclin, thus suggesting that the cardiovascular protection seen by this class of drugs could be in part due to platelet inhibition.

    Existing therapeutic limitations indicate that more evidence-based treatment is warranted for successful management of SSc. Vasculopathy seems to be managed more rigorously, but the low retention rates of immunosuppressive/antiproliferative drugs suggest that effective and targeted disease-modifying agents are warranted.
