“…Secretory cells and the products they manufacture are often at the center of these systems, facilitating the generation and release of response molecules ranging from digestive enzymes to antibodies and hormones. Appropriate safeguards to monitor synthesis, processing, and exocytosis in these cells are critical to human health as they prevent and mitigate multiple disease states resulting from ineffective quality control (e.g., Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and irritable bowel syndrome) or failure to execute apoptotic programs in response to stress (e.g., malignancy) (6,(63)(64)(65). These safety mechanisms are driven by response systems coupling protein stress sensors with downstream transcriptional networks.…”

Transcriptional networks that govern secretory cell specialization, including instructing cells to develop a unique cytoarchitecture, amass extensive protein synthesis machinery, and be embodied to respond to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, remain largely uncharacterized. In this study, we discovered that the secretory cell transcription factor MIST1 (Bhlha15), previously shown to be essential for cytoskeletal organization and secretory activity, also functions as a potent ER stress-inducible transcriptional regulator. Genome-wide DNA binding studies, coupled with genetic mouse models, revealed MIST1 gene targets that function along the entire breadth of the protein synthesis, processing, transport, and exocytosis networks. Additionally, key MIST1 targets are essential for alleviating ER stress in these highly specialized cells. Indeed, MIST1 functions as a coregulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR) master transcription factor XBP1 for a portion of target genes that contain adjacent MIST1 and XBP1 binding sites. Interestingly, Mist1 gene expression is induced during ER stress by XBP1, but as ER stress subsides, MIST1 serves as a feedback inhibitor, directly binding the Xbp1 promoter and repressing Xbp1 transcript production. Together, our findings provide a new paradigm for XBP1-dependent UPR regulation and position MIST1 as a potential biotherapeutic for numerous human diseases.

“…Unfortunately, functional impairment of the PQC is also part of ageing, because ageing attenuates the stress response and protein degradation pathways [63][64][65][66] . Consequently, restoring PQC by overexpression of small HSPs extends lifespan in D. melanogaster 67,68 .…”

The worldwide increase in life expectancy gives rise to an increasing prevalence of cardiac diseases, which remain the leading cause of disability and death in the developed world [1][2][3] . Currently, the mechanisms under lying how ageing contributes to the initiation or acceler ation of cardiac diseases are essentially unresolved. Prevailing theories of ageing centre on gradual derail ment of cellular protein homeostasis -proteostasis -either by design (genetically) or by 'wear and tear' (environmentally) 3 . Central to the role of proteostasis derailment as a major factor in ageing is the observation that protein function declines over time.Proteins are the most versatile and complex macro molecules and are involved in the proper functioning of every biological process 4 . After synthesis as a poly peptide chain from the genetic code, proper function of a protein relies heavily on its correct folding into a 3D native state and on various post translational modifi cations, mostly involving the addition of chem ical groups (including phosphate, acetate, and carbo hydrate). Protein maturation, transport, and ultimately breakdown is monitored and supported by various classes of proteins, collectively called 'protein quality control' (PQC) [3][4][5] . Balanced proteostasis, therefore, depends on proper PQC and is crucial for cellular and organismal health 6 . The intricate network making up the PQC involves numerous proteins, of which the main players are the chaperones and their regula tors 4,7-9 (assisting in folding and refolding of proteins) and the pathways that clear irreversibly misfolded and aggregation prone proteins (the ubiquitin-proteasome system [UPS] and autophagy systems) 9-11 . With ageing, the gradual accumulation of misfolded or damaged pro teins, together with concomitant failure of PQC, results in proteotoxic stress and compromised defence against reactive oxygen species (ROS) 10 , a process that is likely to be accelerated in various age related diseases includ ing neurodegenerative diseases 12,13 , type 2 diabetes mel litus 14 , cancer 15 , and cardiac diseases [16][17][18][19][20] . In addition to the accumulation of misfolded proteins, ageing is accompanied by an imbalance in the proteome, as indi cated by lowered expression of chaperone, proteaso mal, ribosomal, and mitochondrial proteins, whereas proteins related to oxidative stress are upregulated 21,22 . Although mild impairment of proteostasis extends lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans, referred to as hormesis, sustained impairment is accompanied by loss of PQC to neutralize this effect 3,5 . Importantly, evidence indicates that the amount of soluble, aggregate prone protein oligomers, rather than the abundance of pro tein aggregates, correlates with disease severity 23,24 . Therefore, protein aggregates, which contain both misfolded proteins and elevated levels of chaper ones, constitute an adequate PQC response, aimed at sequestering potentially harmful protein oligomers, rather than embodying the ultimate cellular threat 25 .

“…are lost during aging leading to apoptosis and contributing to age-related dysfunction of endothelial cells (20), we postulate a role of BPIFB4 in healthy cardiovascular aging. In line with this hypothesis, BPIFB4 serum levels are higher in healthy-LLIs compared to frail-LLIs and young controls (21).…”

Full terms of use are available: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/pure/about/ebr-terms AbstractTherapeutic angiogenesis is a relatively new medical strategy in the field of cardiovascular diseases.The underpinning concept is that angiogenic growth factors or proangiogenic cells could be exploited therapeutically in cardiovascular patients to enhance native revascularization responses to an ischemic insult, thereby accelerating tissue healing. The initial enthusiasm generated by preclinical studies has been tempered by the modest success of clinical trials assessing therapeutic angiogenesis. Similarly, proangiogenic cell therapy has so far not maintained the original promises.Intriguingly, the current trend is to consider regeneration as a prerogative of the youngest organism.Consequentially, the embryonic and foetal models are attracting much attention for clinical translation into corrective modalities in the adulthood. Scientists seem to undervalue the lesson from Mother Nature, e.g. all humans are born young but very few achieve the goal of an exceptional healthy longevity. Either natural experimentation is driven by a supreme intelligence or stochastic phenomena, one has to accept the evidence that healthy longevity is the fruit of an evolutionary process lasting million years. It is therefore extremely likely that results of this natural experimentation are more reliable and translatable than the intensive, but very short human investigation on mechanisms governing repair and regeneration. With this preamble in mind, here we propose to shift the focus from the very beginning to the very end of human life and thus capture the secret of prolonged health span to improve well-being in the adulthood.
