author keywords: congenital; feline; glycoprotein IIb/IIIa; macrothrombocytopenia; precision medicine; thrombopathia
TL;DR:
This study provides a small-volume, standardized, successful protocol for adequate platelet RNA isolation and subsequent molecular assessment of gene expression in cats and identified yet another variant that may be of utility for screening in the feline population.

2023 journal article
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in purpose-bred cats with the A31P mutation in cardiac myosin binding protein-C
SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 13(1).
Contributors: J. Stern n , n , J. Kaplan *, Y. Ueda n , M. Oldach*, E. Ontiveros*, K. Kooiker *, S. Dijk*, S. Harris *
TL;DR:
The occurrence of a more severe phenotype in later generations of cats, and the occasional occurrence of HCM in wildtype cats suggests the presence of at least one gene modifier or a second causal variant in this research colony that exacerbates the HCM phenotype when inherited in combination with the A31P mutation.

Multi-Omic, Histopathologic, and Clinicopathologic Effects of Once-Weekly Oral Rapamycin in a Naturally Occurring Feline Model of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: A Pilot Study
ANIMALS, 13(20).
author keywords: mTOR (mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin); transcriptomics (RNA sequencing); proteomics (LCMS); sirolimus; autophagy; cat; translational; large animal model
TL;DR:
Following repeated weekly dosing, transcriptomic differences between the low- and high-dose groups support dose-responsive suppressive effects on myocardial hypertrophy and stimulatory effects on autophagy, and rapamycin treatment continues to show great mechanistic promise in addressing the pathophysiologic features of HCM.

Pharmacokinetics of a single dose of <i>Aficamten</i> (CK-274) on cardiac contractility in a A31P <i>MYBPC3</i> hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cat model
Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 46(1), 52—61.
Contributors: A. Sharpe*, M. Oldach*, J. Kaplan *, * , S. Kovacs *, D. Hwee *, B. Morgan*, F. Malik *, S. Harris *, J. Stern*
TL;DR:
The marked reduction in systolic function and reduced IVRT coupled with an increased heart rate in treated cats, suggest a lower dose may be optimal, and further studies to determine optimal dosing of aficamten are indicated.

Sex-specific differences and predictors of echocardiographic measures of diastolic dysfunction in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
Rivas, V. N., Ueda, Y., & Stern, J. A. (2023, July 17). JOURNAL OF MEDICAL PRIMATOLOGY, Vol. 7.
author keywords: diastology; E/A; hemodynamics; HFpEF; IVRT; monkey
TL;DR:
Diastolic dysfunction in humans is an age‐related process with an overrepresentation in women, and in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta), the incidence and predictors have yet to be reported.

Synergistic inhibitory effects of clopidogrel and rivaroxaban on platelet function and platelet‐dependent thrombin generation in cats
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 37(4), 1390–1400.
TL;DR:
Treatment combining clopidogrel and rivaroxaban (DAT) safely decreases platelet activation, platelet response to agonists, and thrombin generation in feline platelets more effectively than monotherapy with either clopIDogrel or rivroxaban.

An innate immune response and altered nuclear receptor activation defines the spinal cord transcriptome during alpha-tocopherol deficiency in <i>Ttpa</i>-null mice
Free Radical Biology and Medicine.
Contributors: C. Finno*, M. Bordbari*, G. Gianino*, B. Ming-Whitfield*, E. Burns*, J. Merkel*, M. Britton*, B. Durbin-Johnson*
TL;DR:
It is found that &agr;‐TOH deficiency induces LXR, which may lead to a molecular signature of microglial activation and contribute to sensory neurodegeneration and neurologic deficits can be observed as early as 6 months of age in Ttpa‐/‐ mice.
