[Q]: Context: Observational and clinical studies suggest different responses upon sex hormone replacement therapy in ischaemic heart disease. Few studies, however, have examined the impact of oestrogen receptor-dependent mechanisms on the extent of injury after myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, we set out to evaluate the effect of oestrogen (E2) replacement on infarct size and remodelling, and the respective role of the oestrogen receptors (ER)alpha and -beta in this process, using ERalpha- and ERbeta-deficient mice.', 'Wild type (WT) (ERalpha(+/+) and ERbeta(+/+)), ERalpha-deficient (ERalpha(-/-)) and ERbeta-deficient (ERbeta(-/-)) mice were ovariectomized and subsequently supplemented with E2 or placebo using subcutaneous 60-day release pellets. MI was induced by left coronary artery ligation. Two weeks following MI, haemodynamic function was assessed and infarct size was determined.', 'There was no significant difference in infarct size between E2- or placebo-treated WT (ERalpha(+/+) and ERbeta(+/+)) mice. Surprisingly, E2 treatment did result in smaller infarct sizes in ERalpha(-/-) mice, but increased the infarct size in ERbeta(-/-) mice. Increase of the left ventricular mass post-MI was significantly larger in the E2-treated ERalpha(-/-) animals compared with placebo-treated animals. E2 treatment also significantly increased post-MI mortality in ERalpha(+/+), ERbeta(+/+) and ERalpha(-/-) animals, but not in ERbeta(-/-) mice.
Answer: Although E2 modulates the infarct size in ERalpha(-/-), it also appears to be responsible for the higher mortality following MI. ERbeta appears to be the receptor involved in the modulating effects of E2 in the infarcted heart.

[Q]: Context: Microvascular alterations contribute to the development of stroke and vascular dementia. The goal of this study was to evaluate age and hypertension related changes of the basal lamina in cerebral microvessels of individuals, who died from non-cerebral causes.', 'We examined 27 human brains: 11 young and 16 old patients. Old patients were divided into two subgroups, those with hypertension (n = 8) and those without hypertension (n = 8). Basal lamina changes of the cerebral microvessels were determined in the putamen using antibodies against collagen type IV and by quantitative analysis of vessel number, total stained area of collagen, thickness of the vessel wall and lumen, and relative staining intensity using immunofluorescence. The total number of collagen positive vessels per microscopic field was reduced in old compared to young subjects (12.0+/-0.6 vs. 15.1+/-1.2, p = 0.02). The relative collagen content per vessel (1.01+/-0.06 vs. 0.76+/-0.05, p = 0.01) and the relative collagen intensity (233.1+/-4.5 vs. 167.8+/-10.6, p < 0.0001) shown by immunofluorescence were higher in the older compared to the younger patients with a consecutive reduction of the lumen / wall ratio (1.29+/-0.05 vs. 3.29+/-0.15, p < 0.0001). No differences were observed for these parameters between old hypertensive and non-hypertensive patients.
Answer: The present data show age-related changes of the cerebral microvessels in sections of human putamen for the first time. Due to the accumulation of collagen, microvessels thicken and show a reduction in their lumen. Besides this, the number of vessels decreases. These findings might represent a precondition for the development of vascular cognitive impairment. However, hypertension was not proven to modulate these changes.

[Q]: Context: An intricate gene regulatory network drives neural crest migration and differentiation. How epigenetic regulators contribute to this process is just starting to be understood.', 'We found that mutation of med14 or brg1 in zebrafish embryos resulted in a cluster of neural crest cell-related defects. In med14 or brg1 mutants, neural crest cells that form the jaw skeleton were specified normally and migrated to target sites. However, defects in their subsequent terminal differentiation were evident. Transplantation experiments demonstrated that med14 and brg1 are required directly in neural crest cells. Analysis of med14; brg1 double mutant embryos suggested the existence of a strong genetic interaction between members of the Mediator and BAF complexes.
Answer: These results suggest a critical role for Mediator and BAF complex function in neural crest development, and may also clarify the nature of defects in some craniofacial abnormalities.
