[Q]: Human breast tumors are heterogeneous and consist of phenotypically diverse cells. Breast cancer cells with a CD44+/CD24- phenotype have been suggested to have tumor-initiating properties with stem cell-like and invasive features, although it is unclear whether their presence within a tumor has clinical implications. There is also a large heterogeneity between tumors, illustrated by reproducible stratification into various subtypes based on gene expression profiles or histopathological features. We have explored the prevalence of cells with different CD44/CD24 phenotypes within breast cancer subtypes.', 'Double-staining immunohistochemistry was used to quantify CD44 and CD24 expression in 240 human breast tumors for which information on other tumor markers and clinical characteristics was available. Gene expression data were also accessible for a cohort of the material.', 'A considerable heterogeneity in CD44 and CD24 expression was seen both between and within tumors. A complete lack of both proteins was evident in 35% of the tumors, while 13% contained cells of more than one of the CD44+/CD24-, CD44-/CD24+ and CD44+/CD24+ phenotypes. CD44+/CD24- cells were detected in 31% of the tumors, ranging in proportion from only a few to close to 100% of tumor cells. The CD44+/CD24- phenotype was most common in the basal-like subgroup--characterized as negative for the estrogen and progesterone receptors as well as for HER2, and as positive for cytokeratin 5/14 and/or epidermal growth factor receptor, and particularly common in BRCA1 hereditary tumors, of which 94% contained CD44+/CD24- cells. The CD44+/CD24- phenotype was surprisingly scarce in HER2+ tumors, which had a predominantly CD24+ status. A CD44+/CD24- gene expression signature was generated, which included CD44 and alpha6-integrin (CD49f) among the top-ranked overexpressed genes.

[Q]: In heart failure, a holistic approach incorporating the patient's perspective is vital for prognosis and treatment. Self-rated health has strong associations with adverse events and short-term mortality risk, but long-term data are limited. We investigated the predictive value of two consecutive self-rated health assessments with regard to long-term mortality in a large, well characterised sample of elderly patients with stable chronic heart failure.", "We measured self-rated health by asking 'In general, would you say your health is: 1, excellent; 2, very good; 3, good; 4, fair; 5, poor?' twice: at baseline and the end of a 12-week beta-blocker up-titration period in the CIBIS-ELD trial. Mortality was assessed in an observational follow-up after 2-4 years. A total of 720 patients (mean left ventricular ejection fraction 45±12%, mean age 73±5 years, 36% women) rated their health at both time points. During long-term follow-up, 144 patients died (all-cause mortality 20%). Fair/poor self-rated health in at least one of the two reports was associated with increased mortality (hazard ratio 1.42 per level; 95% confidence interval 1.16-1.75; P<0.001). It remained independently significant in multiple Cox regression analysis, adjusted for N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), heart rate and other risk prediction covariates. Self-rated health by one level worse was as predictive for mortality as a 1.9-fold increase in NTproBNP.

[Q]: Calcific aortic stenosis may be an inflammatory disease with active bone formation in the valve leaflets rather than a disease of passive calcium deposition. Epidemiologic data demonstrating correlation of poor dental hygiene to atherosclerotic pathologies suggests that circulating bacterial products could be involved in the pathogenesis of aortic valve stenosis. We hypothesized that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation of human aortic valve interstitial cells (HAVICs) would induce inflammatory and osteogenic gene expression.', 'The HAVICs were isolated from normal aortic valves obtained from explanted hearts during transplantation (n = 5) and grown in culture. Cells underwent 4 and 24 hours of LPS stimulation (LPS, 200 ng/mL) or beta-glycerol phosphate treatment (BGP) (osteogenic media as positive control). Media was removed for interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 immunoassay. Ribonucleic acid was extracted for microarray analysis. Statistics were by analysis of variance with post-hoc analysis (p < 0.05).', 'The LPS stimulation induced the gene expression of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules. Protein level confirmation by immunoassay demonstrated 3.4-fold (+/- 0.35, p < 0.01) and 9.5-fold (+/- 1.5 p < 0.01) increase over control of IL-6 and IL-8, respectively. The LPS and BGP both induced critical mediators of osteogenesis including bone morphogenetic protein 2 and platelet-derived growth factor alpha.
