Abstract
Background and aim: A potential correlation between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and air pollution has been suggested in some nationwide studies. It is not clear whether air pollution contributes to the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and related coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to increase mortality. Methods: Data on COVID-19 incidence, mortality rate, air pollution, and greenhouse gas element of 33 European countries were extracted from public available databases and analysed with Pearson correlation analysis for the overall population and normalizing for the population over 65 years. Results: Air pollutant agents such as particulate matter <10µm (PM10), particulate matter <2.5µm (PM2.5), ammonia (NH3), sulphur dioxide (SO2), non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and greenhouse gas elements recorded showed a remarkable correlation with cumulative positive number of SARS-CoV-2 cases and with cumulative number of COVID-19 deaths. PM2.5 (r = 0.68, p-value = 0.0001 for cumulative positive cases; r = 0.73, p-value <0.0001 for cumulative deaths) and nitrogen oxides (r = 0.85, p-value <0.0001 for cumulative positive cases; r = 0.70, p-value 0.0001 for cumulative deaths) were among the pollutant agents with the strongest correlation for both positive cases and deaths. Conclusions: High levels of pollution in European countries should be considered a potential risk for severe COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2-related death. (www.actabiomedica.it)

Abstract
Oxidative stress contributes to detrimental functional decline of the myocardium, leading to the impairment of the antioxidative defense, dysregulation of redox signaling, and protein damage. In order to precisely dissect the changes of the myocardial redox state correlated with oxidative stress and heart failure, we subjected left-ventricular tissue specimens collected from control or failing human hearts to comprehensive mass spectrometry-based redox and quantitative proteomics, as well as glutathione status analyses. As a result, we report that failing hearts have lower glutathione to glutathione disulfide ratios and increased oxidation of a number of different proteins, including constituents of the contractile machinery as well as glycolytic enzymes. Furthermore, quantitative proteomics of failing hearts revealed a higher abundance of proteins responsible for extracellular matrix remodeling and reduced abundance of several ion transporters, corroborating contractile impairment. Similar effects were recapitulated by an in vitro cell culture model under a controlled oxygen atmosphere. Together, this study provides to our knowledge the most comprehensive report integrating analyses of protein abundance and global and peptide-level redox state in end-stage failing human hearts as well as oxygen-dependent redox and global proteome profiles of cultured human cardiomyocytes.

The effect of mannitol on oxidation-reduction potential in patients undergoing deceased donor renal transplantation-A randomized controlled trial. Acta Anaesthesiol Scand 2021; 65:162-168.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mannitol, an osmotic diuretic, is proposed to be an oxygen radical scavenger. Mannitol is often used in renal transplantation to attenuate oxidative stress and thus to protect renal graft function. We tested the hypothesis that mannitol reduces overall oxidative stress during deceased donor renal transplantation. METHODS We randomly assigned 34 patients undergoing deceased donor renal transplantation to receive a solution of mannitol or placebo shortly before graft reperfusion until the end of surgery. We evaluated oxidative stress by measuring the static oxidative-reduction potential (sORP) and the capacity of the oxidative-reduction potential (cORP). sORP and cORP were measured pre-operatively, before and within 10 minutes after graft reperfusion, and post-operatively. RESULTS Seventeen patients were enrolled in the mannitol group and 17 patients were enrolled in the placebo group. Mannitol had no significant effect on sORP (148.5 mV [136.2; 160.2]) as compared to placebo (143.6 mV [135.8; 163.2], P = .99). There was also no significant difference in cORP between the mannitol (0.22 µC [0.16; 0.36]) and the placebo group (0.22 µC [0.17; 0.38], P = .76). CONCLUSION Mannitol showed no systemic redox scavenging effects during deceased donor renal transplantation. To evaluate the direct effect of mannitol on the renal graft further studies are needed.

Abstract
The ovarian system comprises vital organs in females and is of great significance for the maintenance of reproductive potential and endocrine stability. Although complex pathogenesis undoubtedly contributes to ovarian aging, increasing attention is being paid to the extensive influence of oxidative stress. However, the role of oxidative stress in ovarian aging is yet to be fully elucidated. Exploring oxidative stress-related processes might be a promising strategy against ovarian aging. In this review, compelling evidence is shown that oxidative stress plays a role in the etiology of ovarian aging and promotes the development of other ovarian aging-related etiologies, including telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and inflammation. In addition, some natural antioxidants such as quercetin, resveratrol, and curcumin have a protective role in the ovaries through multiple mechanisms. These findings raise the prospect of oxidative stress modulator-natural antioxidants as therapeutic interventions for delaying ovarian aging.

Abstract
Increased applications of pesticides, mainly in agriculture and public health, have resulted in increased chances of human exposure to pesticides. Chronic exposure to pesticides has been implicated in several human diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are broadly used for various heart pathological conditions, including a defect in blood vessels, and they include myocardial infarction, atherosclerosis, stroke, cardiomyopathy, coronary heart disease, etc. In this review, the association between human exposure to pesticides and the development of cardiovascular diseases was discussed using epidemiological and laboratory data. The toxicokinetics of pesticides in humans was reviewed, as well as the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. The important role of oxidative stress principally the induction of reactive oxygen species as the signaling molecules for various signaling pathways involved in pesticides-induced cardiovascular disease, was discussed.

Abstract
It is established that smoking is a major risk factor of atherosclerosis. Endothelial dysfunction occurs in the initial step in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and plays a critical role in the development of atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between smoking status and endothelial function in detail in men. We measured flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) in 2209 Japanese men including 1181 men who had never smoked and 1028 current smokers. All of the participants were divided into five groups by smoking pack-years: never smoker group (= 0), light smoker group (> 0 to 10), moderate smoker group (> 10 to 20), heavy smoker group (> 20 to 30) and excessive smoker group (> 30). FMD significantly decreased in relation to pack-years (6.6 ± 3.4% in the never smoker group, 6.8 ± 3.0% in the light smoker group, 6.5 ± 2.9% in the moderate smoker group, 5.9 ± 2.9% in the heavy smoker group, and 4.9 ± 2.7% in the excessive smoker group; P < 0.001). After adjustment for age (≥ 65 years), body mass index, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose, and year of recruitment, FMD was significantly smaller in the excessive smoker group than in the never smoker group as a reference group (OR 1.95, 95% CI 1.42 to 2.67; P < 0.001). These findings suggest that FMD decreases with an increase in the number of cigarettes smoked and that excessive smoking is associated with endothelial dysfunction. Cigarette smoking is harmful to vascular function in men who are heavy smokers.

Abstract
AIMS NAD-based therapeutic strategies are encouraged against obesity and heart disease. Our study, therefore, aimed to investigate the effects of nicotinamide riboside (NR), isolated or combined with caloric restriction (CR), both approaches well-known for stimulating NAD levels, on adiposity parameters, cardiometabolic factors and cardiac oxidative stress in rats submitted to cafeteria diet (CAF). MAIN METHODS After 42 days of CAF-induced obesity (hypercaloric and ultra-processed foods common to humans), we examined the effects of oral administration of NR (400 mg/kg for 28 days), combined or not with CR (-62% kcal, for 28 days), on anthropometric, metabolic, tissue, and cardiac oxidative stress parameters in obese male Wistar rats. KEY FINDINGS In obese rats, treatment with NR alone mitigated final body weight gain, reduced adiposity (visceral and subcutaneous), improved insulin resistance, and decreased TG/HDL ratio and heart size. In cardiac OS, treatment with NR increased the antioxidant capacity via glutathione peroxidase and catalase enzymes (in rats under CR) as well as reduced the pro-oxidant complex NADPH oxidase (in obese and lean rats). Hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia and elevated levels of TBARS in the heart were state-dependent adverse effects, induced by treatment with NR. SIGNIFICANCE This is the first study to report effects of nicotinamide riboside on cardiac oxidative stress in an obesity model. Nicotinamide riboside, a natural dietary compound, presented antiobesity effects and cardiometabolic benefits, in addition to positively modulating oxidative stress in the heart, in a state-dependent manner.

Abstract
Sinapic acid (SA) is a naturally occurring phenolic compound with antioxidant properties. It also has a wide range of pharmacological properties, such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and hepatoprotective properties. The present study aimed to evaluate the potential pharmacological effects of SA against hypertrophic responses in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. In order to evaluate the preventive effect of SA on cardiac hypertrophy, phenylephrine (PE)-induced hypertrophic cardiomyocytes were treated with subcytotoxic concentrations of SA. SA effectively suppressed hypertrophic responses, such as cell size enlargement, sarcomeric rearrangement, and fetal gene re-expression. In addition, SA significantly inhibited the expression of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) proteins as pro-hypertrophic factors and protected the mitochondrial functions from hypertrophic stimuli. Notably, SA activated Sirt3, a mitochondrial deacetylase, and SOD2, a mitochondrial antioxidant, in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes. SA also inhibited oxidative stress in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes. However, the protective effect of SA was significantly reduced in Sirt3-silenced hypertrophic cardiomyocytes, indicating that SA exerts its beneficial effect through Sirt3/SOD signaling. In summary, this is the first study to reveal the potential pharmacological action and inhibitory mechanism of SA as an antioxidant against cardiac hypertrophy, suggesting that SA could be utilized for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Obesity and metabolic syndrome commonly underlie cardiovascular disease. ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice fed a normal diet develop obesity and metabolic syndrome; however, it is not known whether they develop or are resilient to cardiovascular disease. We found that ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice do not develop cardiac dysfunction, despite their underlying conditions. Moreover, in contrast to wild-type controls fed a high-fat diet (HFD), ClockΔ19/Δ19 HFD mice still do not develop cardiovascular disease. Indeed, ClockΔ19/Δ19 HFD mice have preserved heart weight despite their obesity, no cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and preserved heart structure and function, even after 24 wk of a HFD. To determine why ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice are resilient to cardiac dysfunction despite their underlying obesity and metabolic conditions, we examined global cardiac gene expression profiles by microarray and bioinformatics analyses, revealing that oxidative stress pathways were involved. We examined the pathways in further detail and found that 1) SIRT-dependent oxidative stress pathways were not directly involved in resilience; 2) 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) increased in wild-type HFD but not ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice, suggesting less reactive oxygen species in ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice; 3) cardiac catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) increased, suggesting strong antioxidant defenses in the hearts of ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice; and 4) Pparγ was upregulated in the hearts of ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice; this circadian-regulated gene drives transcription of CAT and GPx, providing a molecular basis for resilience in the ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice. These findings shed new light on the circadian regulation of oxidative stress and demonstrate an important role for the circadian mechanism in resilience to cardiovascular disease.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We examined whether obesity and metabolic syndrome underlie the development of cardiac dysfunction in circadian mutant ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice. Surprisingly, we demonstrate that although ClockΔ19/Δ19 mice develop metabolic dysfunction, they are protected from cardiac hypertrophy, left ventricular remodeling, and diastolic dysfunction, in contrast to wild-type controls, even when challenged with a chronic high-fat diet. These findings shed new light on the circadian regulation of oxidative stress pathways, which can mediate resilience to cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Improvements in cardiovascular disease (CVD) rates among young adults in the past 2 decades have been offset by increasing racial/ethnic and gender disparities, persistence of unhealthy lifestyle habits, overweight and obesity, and other CVD risk factors. To enhance the promotion of cardiovascular health among young adults 18 to 39 years old, the medical and broader public health community must understand the biological, interpersonal, and behavioral features of this life stage. Therefore, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, with support from the Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research, convened a 2-day workshop in Bethesda, Maryland, in September 2017 to identify research challenges and opportunities related to the cardiovascular health of young adults. The current generation of young adults live in an environment undergoing substantial economic, social, and technological transformations, differentiating them from prior research cohorts of young adults. Although the accumulation of clinical and behavioral risk factors for CVD begins early in life, and research suggests early risk is an important determinant of future events, few trials have studied prevention and treatment of CVD in participants <40 years old. Building an evidence base for CVD prevention in this population will require the engagement of young adults, who are often disconnected from the healthcare system and may not prioritize long-term health. These changes demand a repositioning of existing evidence-based treatments to accommodate new sociotechnical contexts. In this article, the authors review the recent literature and current research opportunities to advance the cardiovascular health of today's young adults.

Abstract
Air pollution causes significant morbidity and mortality in patients with inflammatory airway diseases (IAD) such as allergic rhinitis (AR), chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Oxidative stress in patients with IAD can induce eosinophilic inflammation in the airways, augment atopic allergic sensitization, and increase susceptibility to infection. We reviewed emerging data depicting the involvement of oxidative stress in IAD patients. We evaluated biomarkers, outcome measures and immunopathological alterations across the airway mucosal barrier following exposure, particularly when accentuated by an infectious insult.

Increased Overall Heart Rate Irregularity Risk by Hyperuricemia in the General Population: Results from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2020; 56:medicina56100501.

Abstract
Background and objectives: Hyperuricemia is one of the well-known cardiovascular risk factors. There is a growing interest in the association between hyperuricemia and arrhythmia. We used the representative sample data of Korean population to study the association between hyperuricemia and heart rate irregularity (HRI) that reflects total arrhythmia. Materials and Methods: We performed weighted multivariate logistic regression analysis to assess the association between hyperuricemia and HRI. Results: Of the 10,827 subjects, 1308 (13.2%) had hyperuricemia and 130 (1%) had HRI. In the presence of hyperuricemia, HRI was three times higher than that in the absence of hyperuricemia (OR 2.98, 95% CI 1.71–5.18). The risk of HRI was highest in subjects with both hypertension and hyperuricemia. In the subgroup analysis, the association of hyperuricemia with HRI was most pronounced in the smoker group. Conclusions: Hyperuricemia was highly correlated with HRI in adult Korean representative sample data. Hyperuricemia was associated with a nearly tripled risk for HRI. Hypertension has a synergistic effect with hyperuricemia on HRI. Further research is warranted to clarify the relationship between hyperuricemia and arrhythmia and its mechanism.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are subcellular messengers in signal transductions pathways with both beneficial and deleterious roles. ROS are generated as a by-product of mitochondrial respiration or metabolism or by specific enzymes such as superoxide dismutases, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, peroxiredoxins, and myeloperoxidases. Under physiological conditions, the low levels of ROS production are equivalent to their detoxification, playing a major role in cellular signaling and function. In pathological situations, particularly atherosclerosis or hypertension, the release of ROS exceeds endogenous antioxidant capacity, leading to cell death. At cardiovascular levels, oxidative stress is highly implicated in myocardial infarction, ischemia/reperfusion, or heart failure. Here, we will first detail the physiological role of low ROS production in the heart and the vessels. Indeed, ROS are able to regulate multiple cardiovascular functions, such as cell proliferation, migration, and death. Second, we will investigate the implication of oxidative stress in cardiovascular diseases. Then, we will focus on ROS produced by NAPDH oxidase or during endothelial or mitochondrial dysfunction. Given the importance of oxidative stress at the cardiovascular level, antioxidant therapies could be a real benefit. In the last part of this review, we will detail the new therapeutic strategies potentially involved in cardiovascular protection and currently under study.

Abstract
Over 25% of the adult population in the United States suffers from multiple chronic conditions, with numbers continuing to rise. Those with multiple chronic conditions often experience symptoms or symptom clusters that undermine their quality of life and ability to self-manage. Importantly, symptom severity in those with even the same multiple chronic conditions varies, suggesting that the mechanisms driving symptoms in patients with multiple chronic conditions are not fixed but may differ in ways that could make them amenable to targeted interventions. In this manuscript we describe at a metabolic level, the symptom experience of persons with multiple chronic conditions, including how symptoms may synergize or cluster across multiple chronic conditions to augment one's symptom burden. To guide this discussion, we consider the metabolites and metabolic pathways known to span multiple adverse health conditions and associate with severe symptoms of fatigue, depression, and anxiety and their cluster. We also describe how severe versus mild symptoms, and their associated metabolites and metabolic pathways, may vary, depending on the presence of covariates; two of which, sex as a biological variable and the contribution of gut microbiota dysbiosis, are discussed in additional detail. Intertwining metabolomics and symptom science into nursing research, offers the unique opportunity to better understand how the metabolites and metabolic pathways affected in those with multiple chronic conditions may initiate or exacerbate symptom presence within a given individual, ultimately allowing clinicians to develop targeted interventions to improve the health quality of patients their families.

Abstract
The subchronic exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and high-fat diet (HFD) consumption lead to glucose intolerance by different mechanisms involving oxidative stress and inflammation. Under stressful conditions, the cells exert a heat shock response (HSR), by releasing the 72-kDa heat shock proteins (eHSP72), fundamental chaperones. The depletion of the HSR can exacerbate the chronic inflammation. However, there are few studies about the early effects of the association of HFD consumption and exposure to low concentrations of PM2.5 in the oxidative stress and HSR, in the genesis of glucose intolerance. Thus, we divided 23 male B6129SF2/J mice into control (n = 6), polluted (n = 6), HFD (n = 6), and high-fat diet + polluted (HFD + polluted) (n = 5) groups. Control and polluted received a standard diet (11.4% of fats), while HFD and HFD + polluted received HFD (58.3% of fats). Simultaneously, polluted and HFD + polluted received 5 μg/10 μL of PM2.5, daily, 7×/week, while control and HFD were exposed to 10 μL of saline solution 0.9% for 12 weeks. At the 12th week, animals were euthanized. We collected the metabolic tissues to analyze oxidative parameters, total blood to the hematological parameters, and plasma to eHSP72 measurement. The association of HFD and PM2.5 impaired glucose tolerance in the 12th week. Besides, it triggered an antioxidant defense by the adipose tissue, which was negatively correlated with eHSP72 levels. In conclusion, a low concentration of PM2.5 exposure associated with HFD consumption leads to glucose intolerance, by impairing adipose tissue antioxidant defense and systemic eHSP72 levels.

Abstract
Nowadays, the great majority of toxicological studies have focused on immediate cardiovascular effects of simultaneous exposure to long-term or short-term PM2.5; yet, whether the persistent vascular fibrosis will be induced after short-term PM2.5 exposure and its related underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we adopted SD rats treated with PM2.5 for 1 month and followed by 12 months and 18 months recovery. Results from Doppler ultrasonography and histopathological analysis found that PM2.5-evoked vascular fibrosis was comprised of structural injury, including thickening of aortic media and carotid intima media thickness (CIMT), narrow left common carotid artery (LCCA), collagen deposition, impaired elasticity and functional alterations in aortal stiffness during long-term recovery. The protein expression levels of collagen I, collagen III, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PNCA), TGF-β and osteopontin (OPN) remained elevated trends in PM2.5-treated groups for the related period than in control groups. Additionally, PM2.5 upregulated the protein expression levels of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), mitochondrial fission related proteins (Drp1 and Fis1), while downregulated the protein expression levels of mitochondrial fusion related proteins (Mfn2 and OPA1). Moreover, PM2.5 significantly activated the mitophagy-related protein expression, including LC3, p62, PINK, Parkin. In summary, our results demonstrated that short-term PM2.5 exposure could trigger mitophagy, further lead to mitochondrial dysfunction which regulated persistent vascular fibrosis during long-term recovery.

Abstract
Background Cigarette smoking is an important risk factor for cardiac diseases. In the current study, we sought to assess the effect of electronic cigarette extract (ECE) and conventional cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on cardiomyocytes. Methods iPSCs-derived cardiomyocytes were used in the study to evaluate cellular toxicities. Cells were exposed to either ECE or CSE for two consecutive days as an acute exposure or every other day for 14 days. Concentration of nicotine in both ECE and CSE were measured by Mass-Spectrometry and Q-Exactive-HF was used to identify other ingredients in both extracts. Fluorescent microscopy was used to measure the oxidative stress after ECE and CSE exposure. Motility and beat frequency of cardiomyocytes were determined using the Sisson-Ammons Video Analysis system. Heart failure target panel genes of exposed cardiomyocytes were compared to control unexposed cells. Results Despite nicotine concentration in CSE being six-fold higher than ECE (50 μg in CSE and 8 μg in ECE), ECE had similar toxic effect on cardiomyocytes. Both CSE and ECE generate significant cellular reactive oxygen species. The Sisson-Ammons Video Analysis (SAVA) analysis showed significant changes in myocyte function with both CSE and ECE slowing beating and increasing cell death. Chronic exposure of both ECE and CSE significantly decreased cardiomyocytes viability long term at all doses. Target panel gene expression profiles of both ECE and CSE exposed cardiomyocytes were different from controls with distinct pattern of genes that involved cell proliferation, inflammation, and apoptosis. Conclusion ECE and CSE produce similar cardiomyocyte toxicities which include generating oxidative stress, negative chronotropic effects, adverse changes in myocardial gene expression and ultimately cell death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ambient particulate matter (PM) has been associated with mitochondrial damage and dysfunction caused by excessive oxidative stress, but the associations between long-term PM exposure and leukocyte mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn), a biomarker of mitochondrial dysfunction due to oxidative stress, are less studied. OBJECTIVES To investigate the associations between short-, intermediate- and long-term exposure (1-, 3- and 12-months) to different size fractions of PM (PM2.5, PM2.5-10 and PM10) and leukocyte mtDNAcn in a cross-sectional study. METHODS The associations between each of the PM exposure metrics with z scores of log-transformed mtDNAcn were examined using generalized linear regression models in 2758 female participants from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS). Monthly exposures to PM were estimated from spatio-temporal prediction models matched to each participants' address history. Potential effect modification by selected covariates was examined using multiplicative interaction terms and subgroup analyses. RESULTS In single-size fraction models, increases in all size fractions of PM were associated with decreases in mtDNAcn, although only models with longer averages of PM2.5 reached statistical significance. For example, an interquartile range (IQR) increase in 12-month average ambient PM2.5 (5.5 μg/m3) was associated with a 0.07 [95% confidence interval (95% CI): -0.13, -0.01; p-value = 0.02] decrease in mtDNAcn z score in both basic- and multivariable-adjusted models. Associations for PM2.5 were stronger after controlling for PM2.5-10 in two size-fraction models. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5 is associated with decreased mtDNAcn in healthy women.

Abstract
Aims: Obesity-induced excessive visceral fat (VF) accumulation is associated with insulin resistance (IR), systemic oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation. As toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) plays an important role in innate immunity, we herein investigate the effect of TLR4 knockout (T4KO) in a high-fat high-sucrose diet (HFD)-induced obesity mouse model. Results: C57BL6 wild-type (WT) and T4KO mice were fed with either control diet (CD) or HFD for 12 months, rendering four experimental groups: WT+CD, WT+HFD, T4KO+CD, and T4KO+HFD. Compared with WT+CD, WT+HFD demonstrated significant increase in VF accumulation, oxidative damage, M1/M2 macrophage ratio, chronic inflammation, and development of IR. Compared with WT+HFD, T4KO+HFD presented increased BW and body fat with higher subcutaneous fat (SF)/VF ratio, but lower body temperature, as well as decreased oxidative damage, M1/M2 macrophage ratio, chronic inflammation, and IR. Unlike WT+HFD, T4KO+HFD exhibited an increase in mitochondrial electron transport chain activity but a decrease of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) level. While T4KO hindered HFD-induced increasing mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate, a shift toward a higher extracellular acidification rate in VF was observed. Notably, T4KO inhibits HFD-induced mitochondrial translocation of nuclear factor of activated T cells 2 (NFATC2), which contributed to mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming. Both fat distribution shifting from VF to SF and mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming may alleviate systemic oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. Innovation and Conclusion: Abrogation of TLR4 contributes to reduction of oxidative stress through metabolic reprogramming of mitochondria in VF, mitigating obesity-induced IR. The study provides critical insight into associating innate immunity-mitochondria interplay with prevention of diabetes.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is closely related to oxidative stress and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we hypothesized that polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN)-endothelium interactions and autophagy are associated. We evaluated PMN-endothelial interactions, ROS production and autophagy parameters in 47 type 2 diabetic patients and 57 control subjects. PMNs from type 2 diabetic patients exhibited slower rolling velocity (p < 0.001), higher rolling flux (p < 0.001) and adhesion (p < 0.001) in parallel to higher levels of total (p < 0.05) and mitochondrial ROS (p < 0.05). When the protein expression of autophagy markers was analysed, an increase of Beclin-1 (p < 0.05), LC3I (p < 0.05), LC3II (p < 0.01) and LC3II/LC3I ratio (p < 0.05) was observed. Several correlations between ROS and leukocyte-endothelium parameters were found. Interestingly, in control subjects, an increase of Beclin-1 levels was accompanied by a decrease in the number of rolling (r = 0.561) and adhering PMNs (r = 0.560) and a rise in the velocity of the rolling PMNs (r = 0.593). In contrast, in the type 2 diabetic population, a rise in Beclin-1 levels was related to an increase in the number of rolling (r = 0.437), and adhering PMNs (r = 0.467). These results support the hypothesis that PMN-endothelium interactions, ROS levels and formation of autophagosomes, especially Beclin-1 levels, are enhanced in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Ambient air, occupational settings, and the use and distribution of consumer products all serve as conduits for toxicant exposure through inhalation. While the pulmonary system remains a primary target following inhalation exposure, cardiovascular implications are exceptionally culpable for increased morbidity and mortality. The epidemiological evidence for cardiovascular dysfunction resulting from acute or chronic inhalation exposure to particulate matter has been well documented, but the mechanisms driving the resulting disturbances remain elusive. In the current review, we aim to summarize the cellular and molecular mechanisms that are directly linked to cardiovascular health following exposure to a variety of inhaled toxicants. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the biochemical changes in the cardiovascular system following particle inhalation exposure and to highlight potential biomarkers that exist across multiple exposure paradigms. We attempt to integrate these molecular signatures in an effort to provide direction for future investigations. This review also characterizes how molecular responses are modified in at-risk populations, specifically the impact of environmental exposure during critical windows of development. Maternal exposure to particulate matter during gestation can lead to fetal epigenetic reprogramming, resulting in long-term deficits to the cardiovascular system. In both direct and indirect (gestational) exposures, connecting the biochemical mechanisms with functional deficits outlines pathways that can be targeted for future therapeutic intervention. Ultimately, future investigations integrating "omics"-based approaches will better elucidate the mechanisms that are altered by xenobiotic inhalation exposure, identify biomarkers, and guide in clinical decision making.

Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis is associated with fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure. In addition, whether high-fat diet (HFD) could exacerbate the PM2.5-induced cardiac injury was unevaluated. Thus, this study was aimed to investigate the combined effects of PM2.5 and HFD on cardiac fibrosis. The echocardiography and histopathological analysis showed that co-exposure of PM2.5 and HFD had a significant deleterious effect on both cardiac systolic and diastolic function accompanied the myofibril disorder and myocardial fibrosis in C57BL/6 J mice than exposed to PM2.5 or HFD alone. The augmented oxidative damage and increased α-SMA area percentage were detected in heart tissue of mice exposed to PM2.5 and HFD together. PM2.5 upregulated the expressions of cardiac fibrosis-related special markers, including collagen-I, collagen-III, TGF-β1, p-Smad3 and total Smad3, which had more pronounced activations in co-exposure group. Meanwhile, the factorial analysis exhibited the synergistic interaction regarded to the combined exposure of PM2.5 and HFD. Simultaneously, PM2.5 and palmitic acid increased intracellular ROS generation and activated the TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway in cardiomyocytes. While the ROS scavenger NAC had effectively attenuated the ROS level and suppressed the TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway. Taken together, our results demonstrated combined exposure to PM2.5 and HFD could aggravate cardiac fibrosis via activating the ROS/TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) drives cardiometabolic diseases. Intermittent hypoxia consistently increases oxidative stress markers. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients experience intermittent hypoxia and an increased rate of cardiovascular disease, however, the impact of OSA on OS markers is not clear. The objective was to assess relationships between OSA severity and biomarker levels. Patients with suspected OSA referred for a polysomnogram (PSG) provided fasting blood sample. Plasma levels of 8-isoprostane, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured. The relationship between OSA and OS was assessed both before and after controlling for confounders (age, sex, smoking history, history of cardiovascular disease, ethnicity, diabetes, statin usage, body mass index (BMI)). 402 patients were studied (68% male, mean age ± SD = 50.8 ± 11.8 years, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) = 22.2 ± 21.6 events/hour, BMI = 31.62 ± 6.49 kg/m2). In a multivariable regression, the AHI significantly predicted 8-isoprostane levels (p = 0.0008) together with age and statin usage; AHI was not a predictor of 8-OHdG or SOD. Female sex (p < 0.0001) and no previous history of cardiovascular disease (p = 0.002) were associated with increased antioxidant capacity. Circulating 8-isoprostane levels may be a promising biomarker of the severity of oxidative stress in OSA patients. Prospective studies are needed to determine whether this biomarker is associated with long-term cardiometabolic complications in OSA.

Abstract
Background The incidence of obesity-associated decline in male fertility has increased over the years. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP), a natural plant polysaccharide extracted from the Chinese herb L. barbarum has shown promising therapeutic effects in overcoming the same. Aim This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of LBP on the testes of obese mice. Methods Following administration of LBP to high-fat diet-induced obese mice for 35 days, serum, sperm, and testis samples were obtained for subsequent experiments. Biochemical analysis and sex hormone content determination were performed to observe changes in glycolipid metabolism and testosterone levels, respectively, in the blood. Hematoxylin and eosin staining were carried out to assess the pathological changes in the testicular tissue. Oxidative stress levels were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress markers were determined using western blot in the testicular tissue. Results Our results suggested that LBP reduced glucose levels and insulin resistance, increased testosterone levels and insulin sensitivity, and decreased testicular oxidative stress and pathological damage in obese mice. In addition, LBP down-regulated the expression of p-eIF2α, GRP78, and CHOP in the testicular tissues of obese mice. Conclusion Our results show that LBP is a potential novel drug for preventing male infertility caused by obesity.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus predisposes affected individuals to a significant spectrum of cardiovascular complications, one of the most debilitating in terms of prognosis is heart failure. Indeed, the increasing global prevalence of diabetes mellitus and an aging population has given rise to an epidemic of diabetes mellitus-induced heart failure. Despite the significant research attention this phenomenon, termed diabetic cardiomyopathy, has received over several decades, understanding of the full spectrum of potential contributing mechanisms, and their relative contribution to this heart failure phenotype in the specific context of diabetes mellitus, has not yet been fully resolved. Key recent preclinical discoveries that comprise the current state-of-the-art understanding of the basic mechanisms of the complex phenotype, that is, the diabetic heart, form the basis of this review. Abnormalities in each of cardiac metabolism, physiological and pathophysiological signaling, and the mitochondrial compartment, in addition to oxidative stress, inflammation, myocardial cell death pathways, and neurohumoral mechanisms, are addressed. Further, the interactions between each of these contributing mechanisms and how they align to the functional, morphological, and structural impairments that characterize the diabetic heart are considered in light of the clinical context: from the disease burden, its current management in the clinic, and where the knowledge gaps remain. The need for continued interrogation of these mechanisms (both known and those yet to be identified) is essential to not only decipher the how and why of diabetes mellitus-induced heart failure but also to facilitate improved inroads into the clinical management of this pervasive clinical challenge.

World J Diabetes 2020; 11:193-201. [PMID: 32477455 PMCID: PMC7243484 DOI: 10.4239/wjd.v11.i5.193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2020] [Revised: 03/24/2020] [Accepted: 03/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity and diabetes are associated with high levels of oxidative stress. In Romanian patients with obesity and (or) diabetes, this association has not been sufficiently explored.
AIM To evaluate oxidative stress in obese and (or) diabetic subjects and to investigate the possible correlations between oxidative stress and anthropometric/biochemical parameters.
METHODS Oxidative stress was evaluated from a single drop of capillary blood. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were evaluated using the free oxygen radical test (FORT). The free oxygen radical defence (FORD) assay was used to measure antioxidant levels.
RESULTS FORT levels were higher in obese subjects (3.04 ± 0.36 mmol/L H2O2) vs controls (2.03 ± 0.14 mmol/L H2O2) (P < 0.0001). FORD levels were lower in obese subjects (1.27 ± 0.13 mmol/L Trolox) vs controls (1.87 ± 1.20 mmol/L Trolox) (P = 0.0072). Obese diabetic subjects had higher FORT values (3.16 ± 0.39 mmol/L H2O2) vs non-diabetic counterparts (2.99 ± 0.33 mmol/L H2O2) (P = 0.0233). In obese subjects, FORT values correlated positively with body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.48, P = 0.0000), waist circumference (WC) (r = 0.31, P = 0.0018), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (r = 0.31, P = 0.0017), total cholesterol (TC) (r = 0.27, P = 0.0068) and uric acid (r = 0.36, P = 0.0001). FORD values correlated negatively with BMI (r = -0.43, P = 0.00001), WC (r = -0.28, P = 0.0049), FPG (r = -0.25, P = 0.0130), TC (r = -0.23, P = 0.0198) and uric acid (r = -0.35, P = 0.0002). In obese diabetic subjects, FORT values correlated positively with BMI (r = 0.49, P = 0.0034) and TC (r = 0.54, P = 0.0217). FORD values were negatively associated with BMI (r = -0.54, P = 0.0217) and TC (r = -0.58, P = 0.0121).
CONCLUSION Oxidative stress levels, as measured by the FORT and FORD assays, were higher in obese subjects vs controls. ROS levels were elevated in diabetic obese patients vs obese non-diabetic patients and controls.

CTRP9 Mediates Protective Effects in Cardiomyocytes via AMPK- and Adiponectin Receptor-Mediated Induction of Anti-Oxidant Response. Cells 2020; 9:cells9051229.

Abstract
The C1q/tumor necrosis factor-alpha-related protein 9 (CTRP9) has been reported to exert cardioprotective effects, but its role in the right ventricle (RV) remains unclear. To investigate the role of CTRP9 in RV hypertrophy and failure, we performed pulmonary artery banding in weanling rats to induce compensatory RV hypertrophy seven weeks after surgery and RV failure 22 weeks after surgery. CTRP9 expression, signal transduction and mechanisms involved in protective CTRP9 effects were analyzed in rat and human RV tissue and cardiac cells. We demonstrate that CTRP9 was induced during compensatory RV hypertrophy but almost lost at the stage of RV failure. RV but not left ventricular (LV) cardiomyocytes or RV endothelial cells demonstrated increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis activation at this stage. Exogenous CTRP9 induced AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-dependent transcriptional activation of the anti-oxidant thioredoxin-1 (Trx1) and superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD2) and reduced phenylephrine-induced ROS. Combined knockdown of adiponectin receptor-1 (AdipoR1) and AdipoR2 or knockdown of calreticulin attenuated CTRP9-mediated anti-oxidant effects. Immunoprecipitation showed an interaction of AdipoR1 with AdipoR2 and the co-receptor T-cadherin, but no direct interaction with calreticulin. Thus, CTRP9 mediates cardioprotective effects through inhibition of ROS production induced by pro-hypertrophic agents via AMPK-mediated activation of anti-oxidant enzymes.

Abstract
The recent epidemic of the new SARS-CoV-2 in the northern regions of Italy is putting the organization of the Italian health system under serious attack. The current emergency requires all possible efforts to stem the spread of the virus. In this context, it is clear that we have the urgent need to rely upon etiopathogenetic data, in order to do all possible efforts to block the epidemic. However, observing the trend of the infections in China and the geographic areas of the main outbreaks, it could be hypothesized that air pollution plays a role. In particular, it has been previously demonstrated, in specific populations, a role of particulate matter in worsening clinical presentation of virus infection in airways. Without prejudice to the ascertained virus spread by air droplets or contaminated surfaces, the factors that could have favored its spread remain to be investigated. Moreover, if these observations were to be confirmed, when the health emergency is resolved, it will be mandatory to redesign an economic-productive model in balance with the environment.

Association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and obesity in a Chinese rural population: The Henan Rural Cohort Study. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 260:114077. [PMID: 32041030 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114077] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2019] [Revised: 01/23/2020] [Accepted: 01/23/2020] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and obesity remains inconclusive, and the evidence from rural areas was limited. Thus, this study aimed to assess the association between ambient air pollution and obesity based on different anthropometric indices in Chinese rural adults, and further to compare the effect sizes of different air pollution types. A total of 38,824 participants (aged 18-79 years) were recruited from the Henan Rural Cohort Study. Logistic and multivariable linear regression model were used to examine the association between ambient air pollution exposure (including particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters ≤ 1.0 μm (PM1), ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5), and ≤10 μm (PM10), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2)) and obesity as well as obese anthropometric indices (including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body fat percentage (BFP), and visceral fat index (VFI)). The potential effect modifications were also examined. Positive associations were found between long-term exposure to PM1, PM2.5, PM10 and NO2 and obesity regardless of how obesity was defined (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05). Moreover, BMI, WC, WHR, WHtR, BFP, and VFI displayed increased trends with PM1, PM2.5, PM10 and NO2 concentrations increasing (all FDR<0.05). PM10 had the largest effects on obesity among the four types of air pollution. The elderly, women, individuals with low level of education and income, and those who had high fat diet were more vulnerable to the adverse effects of air pollution. In addition, the results of the sensitivity analysis showed that those associations between ambient air pollution and obesity remained robust. These findings suggest that long-term exposure to ambient air pollutant (particularly PM10) may be positively associated with obesity in Chinese rural adults, especially among the elderly, women, individuals with low education and income, as well as unhealthy lifestyles.

Abstract
Novel pH probes based on 2-(6-methoxynaphthalen-2-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-3H-indole have been synthesized and characterized. These compounds display excellent "off-on" fluorescence responses to acidic pH especially under two-photon (TP) excitation conditions as well as strong selectivity and sensitivity toward H+. These features are supported by fluorescence quantum yields over 35%, TP cross sections ∼60 GM, and good resistance to photodegradation under acidic conditions. The synthetic versatility of this model allows subcellular targets to be tuned through minor scaffold modifications without affecting its optical characteristics. The effectiveness of the probes' innate photophysical properties and the structural modifications for different pH-related applications are demonstrated in mouse embryonic fibroblast cells.

Abstract
Ambient air pollution is a leading risk factor for the global burden of disease. One possible pathway of particulate matter (PM)-induced toxicity is through iron (Fe), the most abundant metal in the atmosphere. The aim of the review was to consider the complexity of Fe-mediated toxicity following inhalation exposure focusing on the chemical and surface reactivity of Fe as a transition metal and possible pathways of toxicity via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation as well as considerations of size, morphology, and source of PM. A broad term search of 4 databases identified 2189 journal articles and reports examining exposure to Fe via inhalation in the past 10 years. These were sequentially analyzed by title, abstract and full-text to identify 87 articles publishing results on the toxicity of Fe-containing PM by inhalation or instillation to the respiratory system. The remaining 87 papers were examined to summarize research dealing with in vitro, in vivo and epidemiological studies involving PM containing Fe or iron oxide following inhalation or instillation. The major findings from these investigations are summarized and tabulated. Epidemiological studies showed that exposure to Fe oxide is correlated with an increased incidence of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and several respiratory diseases. Iron PM was found to induce inflammatory effects in vitro and in vivo and to translocate to remote locations including the brain following inhalation. A potential pathway for the PM-containing Fe-mediated toxicity by inhalation is via the generation of ROS which leads to lipid peroxidation and DNA and protein oxidation. Our recommendations include an expansion of epidemiological, in vivo and in vitro studies, integrating research improvements outlined in this review, such as the method of particle preparation, cell line type, and animal model, to enhance our understanding of the complex biological interactions of these particles.

MiR-140-5p inhibits oxidized low-density lipoprotein-induced oxidative stress and cell apoptosis via targeting toll-like receptor 4. Gene Ther 2020; 28:413-421.

Abstract
Critical roles of several microRNAs have been implicated in atherosclerosis (AS). In this study, we studied the functional role of miR-140-5p in AS. An AS model was constructed in THP-1 macrophages challenged with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL). The expression of miR-140-5p was up- or downregulated with corresponding mimic or inhibitor regents. Our experiments showed that the levels of cell apoptosis and fatty acid accumulation were decreased in THP-1 macrophages treated with miR-140-5p mimic, whereas increased in those treated with miR-140-5p inhibitor. The levels of ROS (reactive oxygen species), MDA (malondialdehyde), TC (Triglyceride), and TG (total cholesterol) were reduced and the level of SOD (superoxide dismutase) was improved in miR-140-5p overexpressed THP-1 macrophages, which can be reversed with miR-140-5p depletion. Moreover, through bioinformatics analysis, we found toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) was a potential target of miR-140-5p. Luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-140-5p regulated TLR4 expression via binding 3'UTR of TLR4 in THP-1 macrophages. In ox-LDL challenged THP-1 macrophages, the expression of TLR4 was decreased after miR-140-5p mimic transfection, whereas improved after treatment with miR-140-5p inhibitors. As a conclusion, miR-140-5p can participate in inhibiting ox-LDL-induced oxidative stress and cell apoptosis via targeting TLR4 in macrophage-mediated ox-LDL induced AS.

Abstract
Patients on haemodialysis (HD-patients) have an increased risk of premature death. Low levels of IgM antibodies against malondialdehyde (anti-MDA) are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) with underlying potential mechanisms described. Here, we studied subclasses and isotypes of anti-MDA in 210 HD-patients with mortality as outcome (56% men, median age 66, Interquartile range (IQR) 51-74 years, vintage time 29 (15-58) months, mean follow up period of 41 (20-60)months). Patients were also divided into inflamed c-reactive protein (CRP >5.6 mg/mL) and non-inflamed. Antibody levels were measured by ELISA. In multivariate risk analysis, patients in low tertile of IgM anti-MDA sub-distribution hazard ratio (sHR 0.54); 95% confidence interval (CI: 0.34-0.89) inversely and significantly associated with all-cause mortality after five years, after adjusting for confounders. Low tertile of IgG (sHR 0.48, 95%CI: 0.25-0.90, p = 0.02) and IgG1 (sHR 0.50, CI: 0.24-1.04, p = 0.06) was associated low mortality among non-inflamed patients. In contrast, anti-MDA IgG2 among inflamed patients was significantly associated with increased mortality, IgG2(sHR 2.33, CI: 1.16-4.68, p = 0.01). IgM anti-MDA was a novel biomarker among HD-patients with low levels being associated with mortality, while low levels of IgG and IgG1 but not IgA anti-MDA were associated with mortality only among non-inflamed patients. IgG2 anti-MDA was a significant risk marker among inflamed patients, which could be related to infection.

PM 2.5-induced inflammation and lipidome alteration associated with the development of atherosclerosis based on a targeted lipidomic analysis. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2020; 136:105444. [PMID: 31935561 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2019.105444] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2019] [Revised: 11/30/2019] [Accepted: 12/24/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Epidemiological studies have confirmed that PM2.5 could contribute to the development of atherosclerosis accompanied with lipids dysregulation. However, the lipids biomarkers involved in this progress remain largely unknown. In this study, a targeted lipidomic approach was used to find out the possible lipid biomarkers involved in the development of atherosclerosis after PM2.5 exposure or during a recovery period. Also, we assessed the pro-atherosclerosis effects of PM2.5 and follow-up influence using pulse wave (PW) Doppler ultrasound, oil red O staining and H&E staining. The vascular stiffness was elevated after 2-month PM2.5 exposure and might persist after 1-month recovery. While the lesions mostly concentrated in the aortic arch was significantly increased in 2-month PM2.5 exposure group and remained an increasing trend after 1-month recovery. The expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines detected by Mouse Inflammation Array were elevated after ApoE-/- mice treated with PM2.5 for 2-month and restored following 1-month recovery. Yet, IL-10 was significantly decreased during 1-month recovery. Additionally, the targeted lipidomic analysis demonstrated that cholesterol ester (CE), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), sphingomyelin (SM) were significantly increased while lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), diacylglycerol (DG), triacylglycerol (TG) were reduced after 2-month PM2.5 exposure, indicating that PM2.5 could disrupt glycerophospholipids, glycerolipids and sphingolipids metabolism. And a persistent impact of PM2.5 on glycerophospholipids and glycerolipids metabolism was found after 1-month recovery. Our study demonstrated that PM2.5-induced inflammation response might promote atherosclerotic lesions probably through lipid dysregulation, and the influence probably persisted after 1-month recovery.

Abstract
Background Little is known about whether mitochondria 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a biomarker of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) oxidative damage, contributes to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) in diabetic patients. Here, we explored the associations of mtDNA 8-OHdG in leukocytes with obstructive CAD, coronary stenosis severity, cardiovascular biomarkers, and 1-year adverse outcomes after coronary revascularization in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods In a total of 1920 consecutive patients with T2DM who underwent coronary angiography due to symptoms of angina or angina equivalents, the presence of obstructive CAD, the number of diseased vessels with ≥ 50% stenosis, and modified Gensini score were cross-sectionally evaluated; the level of mtDNA 8-OHdG was quantified by quantitative PCR. Then, 701 of 1920 diabetic patients who further received coronary revascularization completed 1-year prospective follow-up to document major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCEs). In vitro experiments were also performed to observe the effects of mtDNA oxidative damage in high glucose-cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Results Cross-sectionally, greater mtDNA 8-OHdG was associated with increased odds of obstructive CAD (odds ratio [OR] 1.38, 95% CI confidence interval 1.24–1.52), higher degree of coronary stenosis (number of diseased vessels: OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.19–1.41; modified Gensini scores: OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.18–1.39), and higher levels of C-reactive protein (β 0.18, 95% CI 0.06–0.31) after adjusting for confounders. Sensitivity analyses using propensity score matching yielded similar results. Stratification by smoking status showed that the association between mtDNA 8-OHdG and obstructive CAD was most evident in current smokers (Pinteration < 0.01). Prospectively, the adjusted hazards ratio per 1-SD increase in mtDNA 8-OHdG was 1.59 (95% CI 1.33–1.90) for predicting 1-year MACCEs after revascularization. In HUVECs, exposure to antimycin A, an inducer for mtDNA oxidative damage, led to adverse alterations in markers of mitochondrial and endothelia function. Conclusion Greater mtDNA 8-OHdG in leukocytes may serve as an independent risk factor for CAD in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of fatality and disability worldwide regardless of gender. Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in population across different regions. According to epidemiological studies, CVD risk markers in childhood obesity are one of the significant risk factors for adulthood CVD, but have received disproportionally little attention. This review has examined the evidence for the presence of traditional cardiac biomarkers (nonspecific; lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, myoglobulin, glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB, myosin light chains, ST2, and ischemia-modified albumin) and novel emerging cardiac-specific biomarkers (cardiac troponins, natriuretic peptides, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, and miRNAs). Besides, noninvasive anatomical and electrophysiological markers (carotid intima-media thickness, coronary artery calcification, and heart rate variability) in CVDs and obesity are also discussed. Modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome in the progression of CVD, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, and adipocytokines are also outlined. These underlying prognostic risk factors predict the onset of future microvascular and macrovascular complications. The understanding of invasive and noninvasive cardiac-specific biomarkers and the risk factors may yield valuable insights into the pathophysiology and prevention of CVD in a high-risk obese population at an early stage.

Abstract
Objectives Carotid artery geometry influences blood flow disturbances and is thus an important risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis. Extracellular matrix (ECM) and yes-associated protein (YAP) expression may play essential roles in the pathophysiology of carotid artery stenosis, but the effect of blood flow disturbances of carotid bifurcation location on the ECM is unknown. We hypothesized that carotid artery anatomy and geometry are independently associated with the ECM and YAP expression. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 193 patients were divided into two groups: an asymptomatic group (n = 111) and a symptomatic group (n = 82), symptomatic patients presenting with ischemic attack, amaurosis fugax, or minor non-disabling stroke. For all subjects before surgery, carotid bifurcation angle and internal artery angle were measured with computed tomography angiography (CTA), and laminar shear stress was measured with ultrasonography. After surgery, pathology of all plaque specimens was analyzed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Movat special staining. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect expression of YAP in a subset of 30 specimens. Results Symptomatic patients had increased carotid bifurcation angle and laminar shear stress compared to asymptomatic patients (P < 0.05), although asymptomatic patients had increased internal carotid angle compared to symptomatic patients (P < 0.001). Relative higher bifurcation angles were correlated with increased carotid bifurcation, decreased internal angle, and decreased laminar shear stress. For each change in intervertebral space or one-third of vertebral body height, carotid bifurcation angle changed 4.76°, internal carotid angle changed 6.91°, and laminar shear stress changed 0.57 dynes/cm2. Pathology showed that average fibrous cap thickness and average narrowest fibrous cap thickness were greater in asymptomatic patients than symptomatic patients (P < 0.05). Expression of proteoglycan and YAP protein in symptomatic patients was higher than in asymptomatic patients (P < 0.001), while collagen expression was lower in symptomatic patients than asymptomatic patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion Geometry of the carotid artery and position relative to cervical spine might be associated with ECM and YAP protein expression, which could contribute to carotid artery stenosis.

LncRNA-NEAT1 from the competing endogenous RNA network promotes cardioprotective efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes induced by macrophage migration inhibitory factor via the miR-142-3p/FOXO1 signaling pathway. Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 11:31. [PMID: 31964409 PMCID: PMC6975066 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-020-1556-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2019] [Revised: 12/23/2019] [Accepted: 01/08/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims Extracellular vesicles, especially exosomes, have emerged as key mediators of intercellular communication with the potential to improve cardiac function as part of cell-based therapies. We previously demonstrated that the cardioprotective factor, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), had an optimizing effect on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The aim of this study was to determine the protective function of exosomes derived from MIF-pretreated MSCs in cardiomyocytes and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods and results Exosomes were isolated from control MSCs (exosome) and MIF-pretreated MSCs (exosomeMIF), and delivered to cardiomyocytes subjected to H2O2 in vitro. Regulatory long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) activated by MIF pretreatment were explored using genomics approaches. ExosomeMIF protected cardiomyocytes from H2O2-induced apoptosis. Mechanistically, we identified lncRNA-NEAT1 as a mediator of exosomeMIF by regulating the expression of miR-142-3p and activating Forkhead class O1 (FOXO1). The cardioprotective effects of exosomeMIF were consistently abrogated by depletion of lncRNA-NEAT1, by overexpression of miR-142-3p, or by FOXO1 silencing. Furthermore, exosomeMIF inhibited H2O2-induced apoptosis through modulating oxidative stress. Conclusions Exosomes obtained from MIF-pretreated MSCs have a protective effect on cardiomyocytes. The lncRNA-NEAT1 functions as an anti-apoptotic molecule via competitive endogenous RNA activity towards miR-142-3p. LncRNA-NEAT1/miR-142-3p/FOXO1 at least partially mediates the cardioprotective roles of exosomeMIF in protecting cardiomyocytes from apoptosis.

Abstract
It is widely recognized that chemical, physical, and biological factors can singly or synergistically evoke the excessive production of oxidative stress in pulmonary tissue that followed by pulmonary lesions and pneumonia. In addition, metabolic and endocrine disorder-induced diseases such as diabetes and obesity often expressed higher susceptibility to pulmonary infections, and presented severe symptoms which increasing the mortality rate. Therefore, the connection between the lesion of the lungs and the metabolic/endocrine disorders is an interesting and essential issue to be addressed. Studies have noticed a similar pathological feature in both infectious pneumonia and metabolic disease-intercurrent pulmonary lesions, that is, from the view of molecular pathology, the accumulation of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in pulmonary tissue accompanying with activated pro-inflammatory signals. Meanwhile, Adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling plays important role in metabolic/endocrine homeostasis and infection response, and it's closely associated with the anti-oxidative capacity of the body. For this reason, this review will start from the summary upon the implication of ROS accumulation, and to discuss how AMPK-Nrf2 signaling contributes to maintaining the metabolic/endocrine homeostasis and attenuates the susceptibility of pulmonary infections.

Abstract
Air pollution is associated with detrimental effects on human health, including decreased cardiovascular function. However, the causative mechanisms behind these effects have yet to be fully elucidated. Here we review the current epidemiological, clinical and experimental evidence linking pollution with cardiovascular dysfunction. Our focus is on particulate matter (PM) and the associated low molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) as key mediators of cardiotoxicity. We begin by reviewing the growing epidemiological evidence linking air pollution to cardiovascular dysfunction in humans. We next address the pollution-based cardiotoxic mechanisms first identified in fish following the release of large quantities of PAHs into the marine environment from point oil spills (e.g. Deepwater Horizon). We finish by discussing the current state of mechanistic knowledge linking PM and PAH exposure to mammalian cardiovascular patho-physiologies such as atherosclerosis, cardiac hypertrophy, arrhythmias, contractile dysfunction and the underlying alterations in gene regulation. Our aim is to show conservation of toxicant pathways and cellular targets across vertebrate hearts to allow a broad framework of the global problem of cardiotoxic pollution to be established.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research investigating the effect of air pollution on diabetes incidence is mostly conducted in Europe and the United States and often produces conflicting results. The link between meteorological factors and diabetes incidence remains to be explored. We aimed to explore associations between air pollution and diabetes incidence and to estimate the nonlinear and lag effects of meteorological factors on diabetes incidence. METHODS Our study included 19,000 people aged ≥60 years from the Binhai New District without diabetes at baseline. The generalized additive model (GAM) and the distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) were used to explore the effect of air pollutants and meteorological factors on the incidence of diabetes. In the model combining the GAM and DLNM, the impact of each factor (delayed by 30 days) was first observed separately to select statistically significant factors, which were then incorporated into the final multivariate model. The association between air pollution and the incidence of diabetes was assessed in subgroups based on age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). RESULTS We found that cumulative RRs for diabetes incidence were 1.026 (1.011-1.040), 1.019 (1.012-1.026), and 1.051 (1.019-1.083) per 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5, PM10, and NO2, respectively, as well as 1.156 (1.058-1.264) per 1 mg/m3 increase in CO in a single-pollutant model. Increased temperature, excessive humidity or dryness, and shortened sunshine duration were positively correlated with the incidence of diabetes in single-factor models. After adjusting for temperature, humidity, and sunshine, the risk of diabetes increased by 9.2% (95% confidence interval (CI):2.1%-16.8%) per 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5. We also found that women, the elderly (≥75 years), and obese subjects were more susceptible to the effect of PM2.5. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that PM2.5 is positively correlated with the incidence of diabetes in the elderly, and the relationship between various meteorological factors and diabetes in the elderly is nonlinear.

Abstract
Obesity is a pandemic associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular disease; however, the mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Proteomics may provide a more in-depth understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms and contribute to the identification of potential therapeutic targets. Thus, our study evaluated myocardial protein expression in healthy and obese rats, employing two proteomic approaches. Male Wistar rats were established in two groups (n = 13/group): control diet and Western diet fed for 41 weeks. Obesity was determined by the adipose index, and cardiac function was evaluated in vivo by echocardiogram and in vitro by isolated papillary muscle analysis. Proteomics was based on two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) along with mass spectrometry identification, and shotgun proteomics with label-free quantification. The Western diet was efficient in triggering obesity and impaired contractile function in vitro; however, no cardiac dysfunction was observed in vivo. The combination of two proteomic approaches was able to increase the cardiac proteomic map and to identify 82 differentially expressed proteins involved in different biological processes, mainly metabolism. Furthermore, the data also indicated a cardiac alteration in fatty acids transport, antioxidant defence, cytoskeleton, and proteasome complex, which have not previously been associated with obesity. Thus, we define a robust alteration in the myocardial proteome of diet-induced obese rats, even before functional impairment could be detected in vivo by echocardiogram.

[PMID: 31442950 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2019.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2019] [Revised: 04/14/2019] [Accepted: 06/21/2019] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Selenium(Se)is an important trace element for human health. Studies have shown that selenium deficiency and low protein(Pr) intake are the primary risk factors for Keshan disease.The relationship between the cardiac malfunction induced by these two risk factors and the mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway is poorly understood.This study aimed to determine the effect of selenium deficiency and low protein intake on the mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway. METHODS In the present study, 120 weaning Wistar rats were randomly fed one of six different diets. The myocardial tissue sections were deparaffinized in water and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining. Mitochondrial changes in the myocardial tissue were observed and photographed using an H-7650 Hitachi transmission electron microscope. Levels of whole blood Se were measured using hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry. Whole blood glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity was measured using a glutathione peroxidase cellular activity assay kit. Malondialdehyde (MDA), total-anti-oxidizing-capability(T-AOC)and reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels in serum and myocardial tissue were measured using MDA, T-AOC and ROS kits. Apoptosis was detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Experimental results showed that the selenium-deficient diet decreased serum selenium levels and GSH-PX activity, which caused severe cardiac dysfunction. Importantly, the levels of MDA and ROS in serum and myocardial tissue defects were significantly increased, where as total-anti-oxidizing-capability(T-AOC) levels were dramatically decreased as a result of the combination of selenium deficiency and low protein intake (P<0.05).The levels of cleaved caspase-9 and cleaved caspase-3 were enhanced, but the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) was reduced (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that selenium deficiency and low protein intake can cause oxidative stress in the myocardium and induce cell apoptosis via the mitochondria-mediated pathway.

Trends in Guideline-Driven Revascularization in Diabetic Patients with Multivessel Coronary Heart Disease. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2019; 6:jcdd6040041. [PMID: 31752091 PMCID: PMC6956319 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd6040041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2019] [Revised: 11/10/2019] [Accepted: 11/16/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
In diabetes patients with chronic ≥3 vessel disease, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) holds a class I recommendation in the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) 2011 guidelines, and this classification has not changed to date. Much of the literature has focused upon whether CABG or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) produces better outcomes; there is a paucity of data comparing the odds of receiving these procedures. A secondary analysis was conducted in a de-identified database comprised of 30,482 patients satisfying the entry criteria. Odds of occurrence (CABG, PCI) were determined as the binary dependent variable in period 1, (17 October 2009 through 31 December 2011), and period 2 (1 January 2013 through 16 March 2015), before and after the 2011 guidelines, while controlling for gender, ethnicity/race, and ischemic heart disease as covariates. The odds of performing CABG rather than PCI in period 2 were not statistically significantly different than in period 1 (p = 0.400). The logistic regression model chi-square statistic was statistically significant, with χ2 (7) = 308.850, p < 0.0001. The Wald statistic showed that ethnicity/race (African American, Caucasian, Hispanic and Other), gender, and heart disease contributed significantly to the prediction model with p < 0.05, but ethnicity ‘Unknown’ did not. The odds of CABG versus PCI in period 2 were 0.98 times those in period 1 95% confidence interval (CI) = (0.925, 1.032), statistically controlling for covariates. There was no significant rise in the odds of undergoing a CABG among this dataset of high-risk patients with diabetes and multivessel coronary heart disease. Modern practice has evolved regarding patient choice and additional variables that impact the final revascularization method employed. The degree to which odds of occurrence of procedures are a reliable surrogate for provider compliance with guidelines remains uncertain.
