Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGFB) is highly expressed in metabolically active tissues, such as the heart and skeletal muscle, suggesting a function in maintaining oxidative metabolic and contractile function in these tissues. Multiple models of heart failure have indicated a significant drop in VEGFB. However, whether there is a role for decreased VEGFB in diabetic cardiomyopathy is currently unknown. Of the VEGFB located in cardiomyocytes, there is a substantial and readily releasable pool localized on the cell surface. The immediate response to high glucose and the secretion of endothelial heparanase is the release of this surface-bound VEGFB, which triggers signaling pathways and gene expression to influence endothelial cell (autocrine action) and cardiomyocyte (paracrine effects) survival. Under conditions of hyperglycemia, when VEGFB production is impaired, a robust increase in vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-1 expression ensues as a possible mechanism to enhance or maintain VEGFB signaling. However, even with an increase in VEGFR1 after diabetes, cardiomyocytes are unable to respond to VEGFB. In addition to the loss of VEGFB production and signaling, evaluation of latent heparanase, the protein responsible for VEGFB release, also showed a significant decline in expression in whole hearts from animals with chronic or acute diabetes. Defects in these numerous VEGFB pathways were associated with an increased cell death signature in our models of diabetes. Through this bidirectional interaction between endothelial cells (which secrete heparanase) and cardiomyocytes (which release VEGFB), this growth factor could provide the diabetic heart protection against cell death and may be a critical tool to delay or prevent cardiomyopathy.<b>NEW & NOTEWORTHY</b> We discovered a bidirectional interaction between endothelial cells (which secrete heparanase) and cardiomyocytes [which release vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGFB)]. VEGFB promoted cell survival through ERK and cell death gene expression. Loss of VEGFB and its downstream signaling is an early event following hyperglycemia, is sustained with disease progression, and could explain diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
