Deshpande, Vikram; Zen, Yoh; Chan, John KC; Yi, Eunhee E; Sato, Yasuharu; Yoshino, Tadashi; Klöppel, Günter; Heathcote, J Godfrey; Khosroshahi, Arezou; Ferry, Judith Ann; Aalberse, Rob C; Bloch, Donald Bendit; Brugge, William Robert; Bateman, Adrian C; Carruthers, Mollie Nicole; Chari, Suresh T; Cheuk, Wah; Cornell, Lynn D; Fernandez-Del Castillo, Carlos F.; Forcione, David G.; Hamilos, Daniel L.; Kamisawa, Terumi; Kasashima, Satomi; Kawa, Shigeyuki; Kawano, Mitsuhiro; Lauwers, Gregory Y.; Masaki, Yasufumi; Nakanuma, Yasuni; Notohara, Kenji; Okazaki, Kazuichi; Ryu, Ji Kon; Saeki, Takako; Sahani, Dushyant V.; Smyrk, Thomas C; Stone, James Robert; Takahira, Masayuki; Webster, George J; Yamamoto, Motohisa; Zamboni, Giuseppe; Umehara, Hisanori; Stone, John H (Nature Publishing Group, 2012)IgG4-related disease is a newly recognized fibro-inflammatory condition characterized by several features: a tendency to form tumefactive lesions in multiple sites; a characteristic histopathological appearance; and—often ... -
Decreased Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Contributes to Cardiac Dysfunction Induced by Chronic Doxorubicin Treatment in Mice
Vandenwijngaert, Sara; Swinnen, Melissa; Walravens, Ann-Sophie; Beerens, Manu Eddy Maria; Gillijns, Hilde; Caluwé, Ellen; Tainsh, Robert; Nathan, Daniel I.; Allen, Kaitlin; Brouckaert, Peter; Bartunek, Jozef; Scherrer-Crosbie, Marielle; Bloch, Kenneth; Bloch, Donald Bendit; Janssens, Stefan P.; Buys, Emmanuel (Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2017)Aims: The use of doxorubicin, a potent chemotherapeutic agent, is limited by cardiotoxicity. We tested the hypothesis that decreased soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) enzyme activity contributes to the development of ... -
Deletion of the Sequence Encoding the Tail Domain of the Bone Morphogenetic Protein type 2 Receptor Reveals a Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7-Specific Gain of Function
Leyton, Patricio A.; Beppu, Hideyuki; Pappas, Alexandra; Martyn, Trejeeve M.; Derwall, Matthias; Baron, David M.; Galdos, Rita; Bloch, Donald B.; Bloch, Kenneth D. (Public Library of Science, 2013)The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type II receptor (BMPR2) has a long cytoplasmic tail domain whose function is incompletely elucidated. Mutations in the tail domain of BMPR2 are found in familial cases of pulmonary ... -
IgG4-Related Disease Is Not Associated with Antibody to the Phospholipase A2 Receptor
Khosroshahi, Arezou; Ayalon, Rivka; Beck, Laurence H.; Salant, David J.; Bloch, Donald Bendit; Stone, John H. (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)Patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) share histopathological characteristics that are similar across affected organs. The finding of infiltration with IgG4+ plasma cells in the proper clinical and histopathological ... -
Inhibition of Bone Morphogenetic Protein Signal Transduction Prevents the Medial Vascular Calcification Associated with Matrix Gla Protein Deficiency
Malhotra, Rajeev; Burke, Megan F.; Martyn, Trejeeve; Shakartzi, Hannah R.; Thayer, Timothy E.; O’Rourke, Caitlin; Li, Pingcheng; Derwall, Matthias; Spagnolli, Ester; Kolodziej, Starsha A.; Hoeft, Konrad; Mayeur, Claire; Jiramongkolchai, Pawina; Kumar, Ravindra; Buys, Emmanuel S.; Yu, Paul B.; Bloch, Kenneth D.; Bloch, Donald B. (Public Library of Science, 2015)Objective: Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is reported to inhibit bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signal transduction. MGP deficiency is associated with medial calcification of the arterial wall, in a process that involves both ... -
