Consenso de expertos sobre propuestas para la mejora del manejo de la dislipemia aterogénica

Resumen Introduccion y objetivos La dislipemia aterogenica es un reconocido factor de riesgo cardiovascular; sin embargo, en la practica clinica frecuentemente se subestima y, en consecuencia, esta infratratada e infracontrolada. El objetivo es desarrollar un consenso multidisciplinario para establecer recomendaciones clinicas en torno a la dislipemia aterogenica para optimizar la prevencion, la deteccion precoz, la valoracion diagnostica, el abordaje terapeutico y el seguimiento. Metodos Tras la revision de las evidencias cientificas, el comite cientifico formulo 87 recomendaciones relacionadas con la dislipemia aterogenica, agrupadas en cinco areas: conceptos generales (10 items), impacto…

DNA methylomes reveal biological networks involved in human eye development, functions and associated disorders

This work provides a comprehensive CpG methylation landscape of the different layers of the human eye that unveils the gene networks associated with their biological functions and how these are disrupted in common visual disorders. Herein, we firstly determined the role of CpG methylation in the regulation of ocular tissue-specification and described hypermethylation of retinal transcription factors (i.e., PAX6, RAX, SIX6) in a tissue-dependent manner. Second, we have characterized the DNA methylome of visual disorders linked to internal and external environmental factors. Main conclusions allow certifying that crucial pathways related to Wnt-MAPK signaling pathways or neuroinflammation are…

Cytoskeletal transgelin 2 contributes to gender-dependent adipose tissue expandability and immune function

During adipogenesis, preadipocytes' cytoskeleton reorganizes in parallel with lipid accumulation. Failure to do so may impact the ability of adipose tissue (AT) to shift between lipid storage and mobilization. Here, we identify cytoskeletal transgelin 2 (TAGLN2) as a protein expressed in AT and associated with obesity and inflammation, being normalized upon weight loss. TAGLN2 was primarily found in the adipose stromovascular cell fraction, but inflammation, TGF-β, and estradiol also prompted increased expression in human adipocytes. Tagln2 knockdown revealed a key functional role, being required for proliferation and differentiation of fat cells, whereas transgenic mice overexpressing Tagl…

Use of Expert Consensus to Improve Atherogenic Dyslipidemia Management

Abstract Introduction and objectives Although atherogenic dyslipidemia is a recognized cardiovascular risk factor, it is often underassessed and thus undertreated and poorly controlled in clinical practice. The objective of this study was to reach a multidisciplinary consensus for the establishment of a set of clinical recommendations on atherogenic dyslipidemia to optimize its prevention, early detection, diagnostic evaluation, therapeutic approach, and follow-up. Methods After a review of the scientific evidence, a scientific committee formulated 87 recommendations related to atherogenic dyslipidemia, which were grouped into 5 subject areas: general concepts (10 items), impact and epidemi…
