Axial pre-enhanced and enhanced CT images of a patient with lipid-poor adenomas (LPA) (Case 95) and a patient with subclinical pheochromocytoma (sPHEO) (Case 21) showing left adrenal mass at the tumor largest dimensions. On pre-enhanced images, the LPA appeared as an irregular mass with intermediate heterogeneous density (A), while the sPHEO was an elliptical mass with relatively homogeneous density (B). After injection of contrast medium (65s), the LPA was markedly more heterogeneous, with obvious cystic and necrotic areas (C), while the sPHEO showed a mildly heterogeneous enhancement pattern (D).

HIV, pregnancy and preterm birth. Maternal HIV infection is associated with preterm birth and the factors that may be linked to preterm birth include acute and chronic inflammation often associated with HIV infection. Immune dysfunction including skewed T cell differentiation, perturbed effector function and altered cellular homeostasis. Co-infections including opportunistic infections due to immunodeficiencies. Certain antiretroviral treatment regimens have been linked to preterm birth and timing of treatment initiation can impact birth outcomes. Poor placental development possibly linked to defective deep placentation. Placental dysfunction including poor perfusion and placental insufficiency and obstetric complications.

Each spot contains an immobilized 25mer sequence derived from the POPDC1 sequence. Dark spots indicate peptides that interacted with PDE4 (blotted for VSV tag). B. The initial binding site identified in A. (POPDC1 aa154 – aa178) was further interrogated by alanine scanning to identify single amino acids required for the interaction, conditions as in 3A. C. A motif scan array was constructed to evaluate the importance of the RLSILLK motif discovered in B. This was overlaid with PDE4A4-VSV, conditions as in 3A. D. To confirm whether the binding motif RLSILLK was important for the PDE4 interaction, an N-terminal truncation or E. a C-terminal truncation peptide array was analysed, conditions as in 3A. For all peptide array experiments negative control experiment was performed using mock transfected HEK293 cell lysate.

POPDC1 binds to a site within the PDE4 UCR1 domain. A. A peptide array of 25mers shifted by 5 amino acids covering the full PDE4A4 sequence was overlaid with purified recombinant protein consisting of the Popeye domain of POPDC1 tagged with GST. A binding region was identified in the UCR1 domain of PDE4A and the modular structure of PDE4A is shown. A mock control was treated under same conditions but with BSA added instead of GST-Popeye domain. (n = 1) B. The Popeye binding domain in UCR1 contains 6 divergent regions (termed motifs 1–6 in red) when sequences from PDE4 A,B,C and are compared. Divergent amino acids are identified in bold and underlined. C. An alanine scanning array of the popeye binding domain was overlaid with purified recombinant protein consisting of the Popeye domain of POPDC1 tagged with GST. Amino acids that are alanised (or changed to Asp if alanine) are shown in red. Control array (Mock) was treated in same manner but the purified Popeye domain was replaced with BSA. D.

Co-immunoprecipitations were done using HEK293 cell lysate transiently transfected with POPDC1-myc and PDE4A4-VSV, PDE4B1-VSV or PDE4D7-VSV. Myc-agarose resin was used to precipitate POPDC1 and any interacting PDE4 was detected using VSV tag. Western blotting for both myc confirmed pull down of POPDC and VSV confirming successful transfection of PDE4 isoforms. Negative control immunoprecipitation experiments were performed using cell lysate from mock transfected HEK293. B. Specificity of the POPDC1 interaction for endogenous PDE4 isoforms was examined in NRVMs using PanPDE4A, PDE4B and PDE4D antibodies by PLA analysis. Red dots indicate co-localisation. C.

Supplementary Fig. 5. The POPDC1-PDE4 complex influences action potential duration. A. Measurements were collected from 4 points during the repolarization phase. The action potential duration (APD) of ARVMs was determined following treatment with the POPDC1-PDE4A disruptor and scrambled control peptides. B. A representative trace of action potentials with scrambled control peptide and disruptor peptide. Measurements of APD across the action potential repolarization phase (C) APD30, (D) APD 50, (E) APD75, and (F) APD90 were collected from cells which were paced at 1 Hz under baseline conditions and displayed on scatter plot graphs with bars ± SEM. Untreated cells, n = 19, scrambled peptide n = 37 and disruptor peptide n = 42 cells. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc analysis, performed using GraphPad Prism™ ****p < 0.0001, **p < 0.01. E. (F) Contraction duration at 50% contraction to 50% relaxation was measured after 2 h of treatment with either 10 μM scrambled or disruptor peptide. Each point represents the mean value from one cell. From one rabbit. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc analysis.

Supplementary Fig. 6. Measurements of contraction in NRVMS. A. Representative traces of contraction. UT = untreated, Scrambled = scrambled peptide control, disruptor = disruptor peptide B. Contraction duration at 50% contraction to 50% relaxation was measured after 2 h of treatment with either 10 μM scrambled or disruptor peptide. Each point represents the mean value from one cell. Untreated cells, n = 39, scrambled peptide n = 67 and disruptor peptide n = 50 cells. From 2 rabbits. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc analysis.
