Thus, the aim of this pilot study was to explore the N-glycosylation pattern differences in malignant, adjacent mucosal and healthy tissues in the context of OSCC. Oral mucosal soft tissue samples was obtained by incisional biopsy from five patients with OSCC, both from the malignant and the opposite healthy gingival sides, and from seven age-sex-matched healthy controls. The collected tissues were homogenized, followed by N-glycan profiling of the endoglycosidase-released and fluorophore-labeled carbohydrates using capillary electrophoresis with ultra-sensitive laser-induced fluorescent detection (CE-LIF). Six out of the twenty-two identified N-glycan structures, including glycogens, showed significant (p < 0.05) differences between the malignant tissue samples of the OSCC patients and the healthy controls. Comparing the healthy and the positive control oral mucosal samples, differences in four N-glycan structures were revealed, while only one alteration was observed between the N-glycan profiles of the malignant tumor and positive control samples. However, the results are presented descriptively, reflecting the limited sample size of the pilot study, it shows the potential of high-resolution CE-LIF-based glyocoanalytical protocol to be highly efficient and sensitive for glycobiomarker-based molecular diagnostics of oral malignant lesions.}, year = {2026}, eissn = {1422-0067}, pages = {740}, orcid-numbers = {Szabo, Adrienne/0000-0002-0135-739X; Guttman, András/0000-0002-7838-082X} } @article{MTMT:35663024, title = {Sex-specific mechanisms in vascular aging: exploring cellular and molecular pathways in the pathogenesis of age-related cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35663024}, author = {Ungvári, Anna Sára and Gulej, Rafal and Patai, Roland and Papp, Zoltán and Tóth, Attila and Szabó, Attila Ádám and Podesser, Bruno K. and Sótonyi, Péter and Benyó, Zoltán and Yabluchanskiy, Andriy and Tarantini, Stefano and Maier, Andrea B. and Csiszar, Anna and Ungvári, Zoltán István}, doi = {10.1007/s11357-024-01489-2}, journal-iso = {GEROSCIENCE}, journal = {GEROSCIENCE: OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN AGING ASSOCIATION (AGE)}, volume = {47}, unique-id = {35663024}, issn = {2509-2715}, abstract = {Aging remains the foremost risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, surpassing traditional factors in epidemiological significance.

Critical analysis of both preclinical and clinical studies reveals significant sex-specific variations in these mechanisms, which could be pivotal in understanding the disparity in disease morbidity and mortality between sexes. The review highlights key molecular pathways, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and autophagy, and their differential roles in the vascular aging of males and females.

It presents a significant clinical challenge, notably due to pronounced neurocognitive symptoms such as brain fog. The mechanisms underlying these effects are multifactorial, with mounting evidence pointing to a central role of cerebromicrovascular dysfunction. This review investigates key pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to cerebrovascular dysfunction in long COVID and their impacts on brain health. We discuss how endothelial tropism of SARS-CoV-2 and direct vascular infection trigger endothelial dysfunction, impaired neurovascular coupling, and blood-brain barrier disruption, resulting in compromised cerebral perfusion. Furthermore, the infection appears to induce mitochondrial dysfunction, enhancing oxidative stress and inflammation within cerebral endothelial cells. Autoantibody formation following infection also potentially exacerbates neurovascular injury, contributing to chronic vascular inflammation and ongoing blood-brain barrier compromise. These factors collectively contribute to the emergence of white matter hyperintensities, promote amyloid pathology, and may accelerate neurodegenerative processes, including Alzheimer's disease. This review also emphasizes the critical role of advanced imaging techniques in assessing cerebromicrovascular health and the need for targeted interventions to address these cerebrovascular complications.

However, GDM not only affects women with obesity but can also develop at any time, even after the OGTT test; therefore, an increasing number of complications related to GDM can be seen in both mothers and their children. It is necessary to discover biomarkers capable of indicating the development of GDM or complications during/after pregnancy. Since the N-glycosylation motif of human IgG has been described to change under many physiological and pathological conditions, it is a promising target for biomarker research. In our study, the effects of obesity and GDM were investigated on human serum IgG N-linked glycosylation patterns during human pregnancy. Materials and Methods: The study participants were categorized into four groups according to their body mass index (BMI) and GDM status: normal weight as control, obese (BMI > 30 kg/m2), normal weight with GDM, and obese with GDM. The released N-glycan components of IgG were separated with capillary electrophoresis and detected using a laser-induced fluorescence detector. Results: The result revealed several differences between the N-glycosylation patterns of the four study groups. Of this, 17 of the 20 identified structures differed significantly between the groups. The ratios of sialylated to non-sialylated structures were not changed significantly, but the core fucosylation level showed a significant decrease in the GDM and obese GDM groups compared to the control subjects. The lowest degree of core fucosylation was observed in the GDM group. Conclusions: The findings indicate that obesity in isolation does not have a significant impact on the IgG N-glycosylation pattern in pregnancy. Conversely, alterations in the N-glycan profile of antibodies may serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis of GDM in mothers with a normal BMI, although more evidence is needed. By incorporating glycan-based biomarkers into clinical practice, healthcare providers can improve early detection, personalize management strategies, and potentially mitigate adverse pregnancy outcomes associated with obesity and GDM.

They exhibit remarkable versatility, adapting to various tissue requirements. Their ability to respond to physiological and pathological stimuli ensures proper tissue function and homeostasis. Recent Advances: Hypoxia is when the oxygen level in a given organ, tissue, or cell type drops below the physiological level and is insufficient to maintain adequate homeostasis. ECs respond to hypoxia by activating various mechanisms. Hypoxia-induced changes in ECs can promote survival in low-oxygen environments by altering cellular metabolism and inducing neoangiogenesis. However, hypoxia-induced EC responses can also be detrimental, leading to increased production of reactive oxygen species, heightened inflammation, changes in vascular tone, increased permeability of the endothelial barrier, and a higher risk of coagulation. Critical Issues: Hypoxia-induced EC responses contribute to the pathogenesis of various diseases, including metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes, chronic kidney disease), infectious diseases, chronic inflammation, neoplastic diseases, cardiovascular diseases (e.g., atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and stroke) lung diseases (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and pulmonary hypertension), eye diseases (age-related macular degeneration and retinopathy), and neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease). Future Directions: Detailed, disease-specific investigations are essential to delineate how endothelial hypoxia responses contribute to various pathologies.
