Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major cause of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Despite the advent of vaccines and potent antiviral agents able to suppress viral replication, recovery from chronic HBV infection is still an extremely difficult goal to achieve. Complex interactions between virus and host are responsible for HBV persistence and the risk of oncogenesis. Through multiple pathways, HBV is able to silence both innate and adaptive immunological responses and become out of control. Furthermore, the integration of the viral genome into that of the host and the production of covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) represent reservoirs of viral persistence and account for the difficult eradication of the infection. An adequate knowledge of the virus-host interaction mechanisms responsible for viral persistence and the risk of hepatocarcinogenesis is necessary for the development of functional cures for chronic HBV infection. The purpose of this review is, therefore, to analyze how interactions between HBV and host concur in the mechanisms of infection, persistence, and oncogenesis and what are the implications and the therapeutic perspectives that follow.

Abstract
The broad-spectrum antineoplastic drug doxorubicin (DOX) has one of the most serious chronic side effects on the heart, dilated cardiomyopathy, but the precise molecular mechanisms underlying disease progression subsequent to long latency periods remain puzzling. Here, we established a model of DOX-induced dilated cardiomyopathy. In a cardiac cytology exploration, we found that differentially expressed genes in the KEGG signaling pathway enrichment provided a novel complex network of mTOR bridging autophagy and oxidative stress. Validation results showed that DOX caused intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation in cardiomyocytes, disrupted mitochondria, led to imbalanced intracellular energy metabolism, and triggered cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Apoptosis showed a negative correlation with DOX-regulated cardiomyocyte autophagy. To evaluate whether the inhibition of mTOR could upregulate autophagy to protect cardiomyocytes, we used rapamycin to restore autophagy depressed by DOX. Rapamycin increased cardiomyocyte survival by easing the autophagic flux blocked by DOX. In addition, rapamycin reduced oxidative stress, prevented mitochondrial damage, and restored energy metabolic homeostasis in DOX-treated cardiomyocytes. In vivo, we used metformin (Met) which is an AMPK activator to protect cardiac tissue to alleviate DOX-induced dilated cardiomyopathy. In this study, Met significantly attenuated the oxidative stress response of myocardial tissue caused by DOX and activated cardiomyocyte autophagy to maintain cardiomyocyte energy metabolism and reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis by downregulating mTOR activity. Overall, our study revealed the role of autophagy and apoptosis in DOX-induced dilated cardiomyopathy and demonstrated the potential role of regulation of the AMPK/mTOR axis in the treatment of DOX-induced dilated cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder affecting women at reproductive age. The therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on PCOS has been revealed, while the anti-PCOS mechanisms of EA have not been fully explored. In this study, PCOS were induced in rats by daily injection with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) for 20 days and EA treatment was performed for 5 weeks. The mRNA expression profiles in ovarian tissues from control, PCOS, and EA-treated rats were examined by high-throughput mRNA sequencing. 5'-aminolevulinate synthase 2 (Alas2), a vital rate-limiting enzyme of the heme synthesis pathway, was selected to be further studied. PCOS led to the upregulation of Alas2 mRNA, whereas EA treatment restored this change. In vitro, primary ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) were challenged with H2O2 to mimic the oxidative stress (OS) state in PCOS. H2O2 induced apoptosis, OS, mitochondrial dysfunction, as well as Alas2 overexpression in GCs, while lentivirus-mediated Alas2 knockdown evidently restrained the above impairments. In summary, this study highlights the crucial role of Alas2 in cell apoptosis, OS, and mitochondrial dysfunction of PCOS GCs and provides potential therapeutic candidates for further investigation on PCOS treatment.

Abstract
Hexokinases (HKs) convert hexose sugars to hexose-6-phosphate, thus trapping them inside cells to meet the synthetic and energetic demands. HKs participate in various standard and altered physiological processes, including cancer, primarily through the reprogramming of cellular metabolism. Four canonical HKs have been identified with different expression patterns across tissues. HKs 1-3 play a role in glucose utilization, whereas HK 4 (glucokinase, GCK) also acts as a glucose sensor. Recently, a novel fifth HK, hexokinase domain containing 1 (HKDC1), has been identified, which plays a role in whole-body glucose utilization and insulin sensitivity. Beyond the metabolic functions, HKDC1 is differentially expressed in many forms of human cancer. This review focuses on the role of HKs, particularly HKDC1, in metabolic reprogramming and cancer progression.

Abstract
Prevascularization is crucial for the survival of tissue-engineered bone and further bone repair/regeneration. Since epicatechin gallate (ECG), the most abundant flavanol in green tea, shows potential beneficial effects on endothelial cells and bone cells, we decided to investigate whether it promotes vascularization/angiogenesis and osteogenesis using a co-culture system containing human primary osteoblasts (POBs) and outgrowth endothelial cells (OECs). We found that treatment with ECG (1) significantly enhanced microvessel formation in co-culture of POB and OECs, (2) improved cell viability/proliferation and the angiogenic/osteogenic capacities of OEC/POBs, (3) significantly increased the levels of E-selectin, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, VEGF, and PDGF-BB in co-cultures of POB and OEC, and (4) upregulated HIF-1α, HIF-2α, NF-κB, iNOS, GLUT1, VEGF, and Ang1/2 but downregulated PHD1 in monocultures of OEC or POB. Our findings demonstrate that ECG promotes angiogenesis and osteogenesis (probably via HIF signaling) in co-cultures of OECs and POBs. ECG thus has potential applications in the promotion of angiogenesis/vascularization in many tissue constructs including those of bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and chronic non-infectious inflammation caused vascular endothelial dysfunction (VED) is a critical and initiating factor in Type 2 diabetes induced vascular complications, while macrophage polarization plays a regulatory role in VED. Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) has been widely used for treating diabetic vascular diseases, but its mechanisms of action have not been fully elucidated. PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the modulatory effects of APS on macrophage polarization and to reveal the potential mechanisms of APS in LPS and HG stimulated macrophages and diabetic model rats. METHODS In vitro and in vivo studies were used to explore the mechanism of APS. The macrophage polarization and reactive oxygen species (ROS) release was monitored by flow cytometry and the associated inflammatory factors were detected by ELISA. For oxidative stress regulatory pathway detection, protein expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was measured by Western blotting. The vascular endothelial functions were measured by transwell, tube formation assay, scratch assay, adhesion assay. The thoracic aorta pathological changes were evaluated by Haematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS In vitro, APS inhibited the LPS/HG-stimulated THP-1 macrophage differentiated into macrophage M1, coupling with reduction in the ROS production and pro-inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12) release. Furthermore, endothelial cells proliferation and apoptosis were ameliorated after APS treatment. Meanwhile, APS-treated THP-1/macrophage occurred a differentiation into M2 polarization and anti-inflammatory factors (IL-4, IL-10, and Arg-1) release via enhancing Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, which could be disturbed by using siNrf2. APS promoted the migration and angiogenesis of endothelial cells in co-cultured of HUVECs and macrophages under high glucose. Finally, similar results were observed in vivo, APS alleviated thoracic aorta complications of diabetic rats accompanied by a remarkable reduction in inflammation and an increased in the number of anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that APS ameliorated vascular endothelial dysfunction in diabetes by stimulating macrophage polarization to M2 via enhancing the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Abstract
As medicine advances to employ sophisticated anticancer agents to treat a vast array of oncological conditions, it is worth considering side effects associated with several chemotherapeutics. One adverse effect observed with several classes of chemotherapy agents is cardiotoxicity which leads to reduced ejection fraction (EF), cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension and Ischemia/myocardial infarction that can significantly impact the quality of life and patient outcomes. Research into possible mechanisms has elucidated several mechanisms, such as ROS generation, calcium overload and apoptosis. However, there is a relative scarcity of literature detailing the relationship between the exact mechanism of cardiotoxicity for each anticancer agent and observed clinical effects. This review comprehensively describes cardiotoxicity associated with various classes of anticancer agents and possible mechanisms. Further research exploring possible mechanisms for cardiotoxicity observed with anticancer agents could provide valuable insight into susceptibility for developing symptoms and management guidelines.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a frequent and often lethal complication of doxorubicin (DOX)-based chemotherapy. Here, we report that hydropersulfides (RSSH) are the most effective reactive sulfur species in conferring protection against DOX-induced toxicity in H9c2 cardiac cells. Mechanistically, RSSH supplementation alleviates the DOX-evoked surge in reactive oxygen species (ROS), activating nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-dependent pathways, thus boosting endogenous antioxidant defenses. Simultaneously, RSSH turns on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α), a master regulator of mitochondrial function, while decreasing caspase-3 activity to inhibit apoptosis. Of note, we find that RSSH potentiate anticancer DOX effects in three different cancer cell lines, with evidence that suggests this occurs via induction of reductive stress. Indeed, cancer cells already exhibit much higher basal hydrogen sulfide (H2S), sulfane sulfur, and reducing equivalents compared to cardiac cells. Thus, RSSH may represent a new promising avenue to fend off DOX-induced cardiotoxicity while boosting its anticancer effects.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent anticancer drug with adverse cardiotoxic effects. Alginates are multifunctional biopolymers and polyelectrolytes derived from the cell walls of brown seaweeds. They are nontoxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable, and hence, utilized in several biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Here, we investigated the potential cardioprotective effect of thermally treated sodium alginate (TTSA), which was extracted and purified from the seaweed Sargassum aquifolium, in treating acute DOX cardiotoxicity and apoptotic pathways in rats. UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy techniques were used to characterize TTSA. CK-MB and AST levels in sera samples were determined. The expression levels of Erk-2 (MAPK-1) and iNOS genes were investigated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The protein expression levels of Erk-2, anti-apoptotic p53, and caspase-3 were analyzed using western blotting and ELISA. For the in vivo studies, sixty rats were randomly divided equally into six groups and treated with DOX, followed by TTSA. We revealed that treatment with TTSA, which has low molecular weight and enhanced antioxidant properties, improved DOX-mediated cardiac dysfunction and alleviated DOX-induced myocardial apoptosis. Furthermore, TTSA exhibited a cardioprotective effect against DOX-induced cardiac toxicity, indicated by the increased expression of MAPK-1 (Erk2) and iNOS genes, which are implicated in the adaptive responses regulating DOX-induced myocardial damage. Moreover, TTSA significantly (p < 0.05) suppressed caspase-3 and upregulated anti-apoptotic protein p53 expression. TTSA also rebalanced the cardiomyocyte redox potential by significantly (p < 0.05) increasing the levels of endogenous antioxidant enzymes, including catalase and superoxide dismutase. Our findings suggest that TTSA, particularly at a dose of 400 mg/kg b.w., is a potential prophylactic supplement for treating acute DOX-linked cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiotoxicity is a major concern following doxorubicin (DOX) use in the treatment of malignancies. We aimed to investigate whether deferoxamine (DFO) can prevent acute cardiotoxicity in children with cancer who were treated with DOX as part of their chemotherapy. RESULTS Sixty-two newly-diagnosed pediatric cancer patients aged 2-18 years with DOX as part of their treatment regimens were assigned to three groups: group 1 (no intervention, n = 21), group II (Deferoxamine (DFO) 10 times DOX dose, n = 20), and group III (DFO 50 mg/kg, n = 21). Patients in the intervention groups were pretreated with DFO 8-h intravenous infusion in each chemotherapy course during and after completion of DOX infusion. Conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography, serum concentrations of human brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were checked after the last course of chemotherapy. Sixty patients were analyzed. The level of cTnI was < 0.01 in all patients. Serum BNP was significantly lower in group 3 compared to control subjects (P = 0.036). No significant differences were observed in the parameters of Doppler echocardiography. Significant lower values of tissue Doppler late diastolic velocity at the lateral annulus of the tricuspid valve were noticed in group 3 in comparison with controls. By using Pearson analysis, tissue Doppler systolic velocity of the septum showed a marginally significant negative correlation with DOX dose (P = 0.05, r = - 0.308). No adverse effect was reported in the intervention groups. CONCLUSIONS High-dose DFO (50 mg/kg) may serve as a promising cardioprotective agent at least at the molecular level in cancer patients treated with DOX. Further multicenter trials with longer follow-ups are needed to investigate its protective role in delayed DOX-induced cardiac damage. Trial registration IRCT, IRCT2016080615666N5.

Abstract
Recent studies have indicated the critical importance of mitochondria in the induction and progression of ferroptosis. There is evidence indicating that tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBH), a lipid-soluble organic peroxide, is capable of inducing ferroptosis-type cell death. We investigated the effect of TBH on the induction of nonspecific membrane permeability measured by mitochondrial swelling and on oxidative phosphorylation and NADH oxidation assessed by NADH fluo rescence. TBH and iron, as well as their combinations, induced, with a respective decrease in the lag phase, the swelling of mitochondria, inhibited oxidative phosphorylation and stimulated NADH oxidation. The lipid radical scavenger butylhydroxytoluene (BHT), the inhibitor of mitochondrial phospholipase iPLA2γ bromoenol lactone (BEL), and the inhibitor of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening cyclosporine A (CsA) were equally effective in protecting these mitochondrial functions. The radical-trapping antioxidant ferrostatin-1, a known indicator of ferroptotic alteration, restricted the swelling but was less effective than BHT. ADP and oligomycin significantly decelerated iron- and TBH-induced swelling, confirming the involvement of MPTP opening in mitochondrial dysfunction. Thus, our data showed the participation of phospholipase activation, lipid peroxidation, and the MPTP opening in the mitochondria-dependent ferroptosis. Presumably, their involvement took place at different stages of membrane damage initiated by ferroptotic stimuli.

Abstract
In diabetes mellitus (DM), high glucose can result in endothelial cell injury, and then lead to diabetic vascular complications. Gastrodin, as the mainly components of Chinese traditional herb Tianma (Gastrodia elata Bl.), has been widely used for cardiovascular diseases. However, the known of the effect of gastrodin on endothelial cell injury is still limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect and possible mechanism of gastrodin on high glucose-injured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). High glucose (30 mmol/L) treatment caused HUVEC injury. After gastrodin (0.1, 1, 10 μmol/L) treatment, compared with the high glucose group, the cell proliferation ability increased in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, gastrodin (10 μmol/L) up-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of PPARβ and eNOS, decreased the expressions of iNOS, also reduced the protein expression of 3-nitrotyrosine, and lowed the level of ONOO-, increased NO content. Both the PPARβ antagonist GSK0660 (1 μmol/L) and the eNOS inhibitor L-NAME (10 μmol/L) were able to block the above effects of gastrodin. In conclusion, gastrodin protectes vascular endothelial cells from high glucose injury, which may be, at least partly, mediated by up-regulating the expression of PPARβ and negatively regulating nitrative stress.

Abstract
The involvement of iron in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) may be multifaceted. Besides potentially inducing oxidative damage, the bioavailability of iron may be limited within the central nervous system, creating a functionally iron-deficient state. By comparing staining results from baseline and modified iron histochemical protocols, iron was found to be more tightly bound within cortical sections from patients with high levels of AD pathology compared to subjects with a diagnosis of something other than AD. To begin examining whether the bound iron could cause a functional iron deficiency, a protein-coding gene expression dataset of initial, middle, and advanced stages of AD from olfactory bulb tissue was analyzed for iron-related processes with an emphasis on anemia-related changes in initial AD to capture early pathogenic events. Indeed, anemia-related processes had statistically significant alterations, and the significance of these changes exceeded those for AD-related processes. Other changes in patients with initial AD included the expressions of transcripts with iron-responsive elements and for genes encoding proteins for iron transport and mitochondrial-related processes. In the latter category, there was a decreased expression for the gene encoding pitrilysin metallopeptidase 1 (PITRM1). Other studies have shown that PITRM1 has an altered activity in patients with AD and is associated with pathological changes in this disease. Analysis of a gene expression dataset from PITRM1-deficient or sufficient organoids also revealed statistically significant changes in anemia-like processes. These findings, together with supporting evidence from the literature, raise the possibility that a pathogenic mechanism of AD could be a functional deficiency of iron contributing to neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Cellular stress has been a key factor in the development of cardiovascular diseases. Major types of cellular stress such as mitochondrial stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, hypoxia, and replicative stress have been implicated in clinical complications of cardiac patients. The heart is the central regulator of the body by supplying oxygenated blood throughout the system. Impairment of cellular function could lead to heart failure, myocardial infarction, ischemia, and even stroke. Understanding the effect of these distinct types of cellular stress on cardiac function is crucial for the scientific community to understand and develop novel therapeutic approaches. This review will comprehensively explain the different mechanisms of cellular stress and the most recent findings related to stress-induced cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
In general populations, insulin resistance (IR) is related to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), a persistent organic pollutant. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, PFOS induced mitochondrial iron accumulation in the liver of mice and human hepatocytes L-O2. In the PFOS-treated L-O2 cells, mitochondrial iron overload preceded the occurrence of IR, and pharmacological inhibition of mitochondrial iron relieved PFOS-caused IR. Both transferrin receptor 2 (TFR2) and ATP synthase β subunit (ATP5B) were redistributed from the plasma membrane to mitochondria with PFOS treatment. Inhibiting the translocation of TFR2 to mitochondria reversed PFOS-induced mitochondrial iron overload and IR. In the PFOS-treated cells, ATP5B interacted with TFR2. Stabilizing ATP5B on the plasma membrane or knockdown of ATP5B disturbed the translocation of TFR2. PFOS inhibited the activity of plasma-membrane ATP synthase (ectopic ATP synthase, e-ATPS), and activating e-ATPS prevented the translocation of ATP5B and TFR2. Consistently, PFOS induced ATP5B/TFR2 interaction and redistribution of ATP5B and TFR2 to mitochondria in the liver of mice. Thus, our results indicated that mitochondrial iron overload induced by collaborative translocation of ATP5B and TFR2 was an up-stream and initiating event for PFOS-related hepatic IR, providing novel understandings of the biological function of e-ATPS, the regulatory mechanism for mitochondrial iron and the mechanism underlying PFOS toxicity.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a powerful and commonly used chemotherapeutic drug, used alone or in combination in a variety of cancers, while it has been found to cause serious cardiac side effects in clinical application. More and more researchers are trying to explore the molecular mechanisms of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC), in which oxidative stress and inflammation are considered to play a significant role. This review summarizes signaling pathways related to oxidative stress and inflammation in DIC and compounds that exert cardioprotective effects by acting on relevant signaling pathways, including the role of Nrf2/Keap1/ARE, Sirt1/p66Shc, Sirt1/PPAR/PGC-1α signaling pathways and NOS, NOX, Fe2+ signaling in oxidative stress, as well as the role of NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD, HMGB1/TLR4/MAPKs/NF-κB, mTOR/TFEB/NF-κB pathways in DOX-induced inflammation. Hence, we attempt to explain the mechanisms of DIC in terms of oxidative stress and inflammation, and to provide a theoretical basis or new idea for further drug research on reducing DIC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of diabetes in patients with heart failure (HF) is associated with a worse prognosis. It is unclear if hemodynamics in HF patients with DM differ from those of non-diabetic patients and how this might influence outcome. This study aims to discover the impact of DM on hemodynamics in HF patients. METHODS Consecutive patients (n = 598) with HF and reduced ejection fraction (LVEF ≤40%) undergoing invasive hemodynamic evaluation were included (non-DM: n = 473, DM: n = 125). Hemodynamic parameters included pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), central venous pressure (CVP), cardiac index (CI) and mean arterial pressure (MAP). Mean follow-up was 9.5 ± 5.1 years. RESULTS Patients with DM (82.7% male, mean age 57.1 ± 10.1 years, mean HbA1c 60 ± 21 mmol/mol) had higher PCWP, mPAP, CVP and higher MAP. Adjusted analysis demonstrated that DM patients had higher PCWP and CVP. Increasing HbA1c-values were correlated with higher PCWP (p = 0.017) and CVP (p = 0.043). CONCLUSION Patients with DM, especially those with poor glycemic control, have higher filling pressures. This may be a feature of diabetic cardiomyopathy, however, other unknown mechanisms beyond hemodynamic factors are likely to explain the increased mortality associated with diabetes in HF.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the principal cause of disease burden and death worldwide. Ferroptosis is a new form of regulated cell death mainly characterized by altered iron metabolism, increased polyunsaturated fatty acid peroxidation by reactive oxygen species, depletion of glutathione and inactivation of glutathione peroxidase 4. Recently, a series of studies have indicated that ferroptosis is involved in the death of cardiac and vascular cells and has a key impact on the mechanisms leading to CVDs such as ischemic heart disease, ischemia/reperfusion injury, cardiomyopathies, and heart failure. In this article, we reviewed the molecular mechanism of ferroptosis and the current understanding of the pathophysiological role of ferroptosis in ischemic heart disease and in some cardiomyopathies. Moreover, the comprehension of the machinery governing ferroptosis in vascular cells and cardiomyocytes may provide new insights into preventive and therapeutic strategies in CVDs.

Abstract
Diabetes is a common chronic metabolic disease, and its incidence continues to increase year after year. Diabetic patients mainly die from various complications, with the most common being diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the detection rate of diabetic cardiomyopathy is low in clinical practice, and targeted treatment is lacking. Recently, a large number of studies have confirmed that myocardial cell death in diabetic cardiomyopathy involves pyroptosis, apoptosis, necrosis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, cuproptosis, cellular burial, and other processes. Most importantly, numerous animal studies have shown that the onset and progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy can be mitigated by inhibiting these regulatory cell death processes, such as by utilizing inhibitors, chelators, or genetic manipulation. Therefore, we review the role of ferroptosis, necroptosis, and cuproptosis, three novel forms of cell death in diabetic cardiomyopathy, searching for possible targets, and analyzing the corresponding therapeutic approaches to these targets.

Abstract
Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS), also commonly known as electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are considered in most cases as a safer alternative to tobacco smoking and therefore have become extremely popular among all age groups and sex. It is estimated that up to 15% of pregnant women are now using e-cigs in the US which keeps increasing at an alarming rate. Harmful effects of tobacco smoking during pregnancy are well documented for both pregnancy and postnatal health, however limited preclinical and clinical studies exist to evaluate the long-term effects of prenatal e-cig exposure on postnatal health. Therefore, the aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of maternal e-cig use on postnatal blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity and behavioral outcomes of mice of varying age and sex. In this study, pregnant CD1 mice (E5) were exposed to e-Cig vapor (2.4% nicotine) until postnatal day (PD) 7. Weight of the offspring was measured at PD0, PD7, PD15, PD30, PD45, PD60 and PD90. The expression of structural elements of the BBB, tight junction proteins (ZO-1, claudin-5, occludin), astrocytes (GFAP), pericytes (PDGFRβ) and the basement membrane (laminin α1, laminin α4), neuron specific marker (NeuN), water channel protein (AQP4) and glucose transporter (GLUT1) were analyzed in both male and female offspring using western blot and immunofluorescence. Estrous cycle was recorded by vaginal cytology method. Long-term motor and cognitive functions were evaluated using open field test (OFT), novel object recognition test (NORT) and morris water maze test (MWMT) at adolescence (PD 40-45) and adult (PD 90-95) age. In our study, significantly reduced expression of tight junction proteins and astrocyte marker were observed in male and female offspring until PD 90 (P < 0.05). Additionally, prenatally e-cig exposed adolescent and adult offspring showed impaired locomotor, learning, and memory function compared to control offspring (P < 0.05). Our findings suggest that prenatal e-cig exposure induces long-term neurovascular changes of neonates by disrupting postnatal BBB integrity and worsening behavioral outcomes.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an efficacious and commonly used chemotherapeutic agent. However, its clinical use is limited due to dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Several mechanisms have been proposed to play a role in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, such as free radical generation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, altered apoptosis, and autophagy dysregulation. BGP-15 has a wide range of cytoprotective effects, including mitochondrial protection, but up to now, there is no information about any of its beneficial effects on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. In this study, we investigated whether the protective effects of BGP-15 pretreatment are predominantly via preserving mitochondrial function, reducing mitochondrial ROS production, and if it has an influence on autophagy processes. H9c2 cardiomyocytes were pretreated with 50 μM of BGP-15 prior to different concentrations (0.1; 1; 3 μM) of DOX exposure. We found that BGP-15 pretreatment significantly improved the cell viability after 12 and 24 h DOX exposure. BGP-15 ameliorated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and cell apoptosis induced by DOX. Additionally, BGP-15 pretreatment attenuated the level of mitochondrial oxidative stress and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. Moreover, BGP-15 further slightly modulated the autophagic flux, which was measurably decreased by DOX treatment. Hence, our findings clearly revealed that BGP-15 might be a promising agent for alleviating the cardiotoxicity of DOX. This critical mechanism appears to be given by the protective effect of BGP-15 on mitochondria.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein M (ApoM) binds sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and is inversely associated with mortality in human heart failure (HF). Here, we show that anthracyclines such as doxorubicin (Dox) reduce circulating ApoM in mice and humans, that ApoM is inversely associated with mortality in patients with anthracycline-induced heart failure, and ApoM heterozygosity in mice increases Dox-induced mortality. In the setting of Dox stress, our studies suggest ApoM can help sustain myocardial autophagic flux in a post-transcriptional manner, attenuate Dox cardiotoxicity, and prevent lysosomal injury.

Abstract
The use of chemotherapeutic agents is becoming more frequent as the proportion of new oncology patients increases worldwide, with prolonged survival after treatment. As one of the most popular chemotherapy drugs, doxorubicin plays a substantial role in the treatment of tumors. Unfortunately, the use of doxorubicin is associated with several adverse effects, particularly severe cardiotoxicity that can be life-threatening, which greatly limits its clinical use. For decades, scientists have tried to explore many cardioprotective agents and therapeutic approaches, but their efficacy remains controversial, and some drugs have even brought about significant adverse effects. The concrete molecular mechanism of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity is still to be unraveled, yet endothelial damage is gradually being identified as an important mechanism triggering the development and progression of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), a fundamental process regulating morphogenesis in multicellular organisms, is recognized to be associated with endothelial damage repair and acts as an important factor in the progression of cardiovascular diseases, tumors, and rheumatic immune diseases. Mounting evidence suggests that endothelial-mesenchymal transition may play a non-negligible role in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. In this paper, we reviewed the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways of EndMT and outlined the molecular mechanisms of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and the current therapeutic advances. Furthermore, we summarized the basic principles of doxorubicin-induced endothelial-mesenchymal transition that lead to endothelial dysfunction and cardiotoxicity, aiming to provide suggestions or new ideas for the prevention and treatment of doxorubicin-induced endothelial and cardiac injury.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly identified form of non-apoptotic cell death characterised primarily by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. It differs morphologically, biochemically, and genetically from other forms of cell death, such as apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis. Although the molecular mechanism underlying ferroptosis remains unclear, multiple biological processes, such as iron metabolism, lipid peroxides, and systems, such as the glutathione system and the tetrahydrobiopterin/coenzyme Q10 system, appear to be involved. While the contribution of ferroptotic mechanisms to human diseases is not clear, recent studies have identified a number of ferroptosis-related genes. Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death globally. In this review, we outline the progress regarding the emerging role of ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of cardiac pathophysiological conditions and the association of ferroptosis with cardiomyopathy, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, and atherosclerosis. We further summarise newly discovered ferroptotic targets for the development of therapies for cardiovascular diseases. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and future research directions in cardiovascular disease treatments.

Abstract
Iron dysmetabolism affects a great proportion of heart failure patients, while chronic hypertension is one of the most common risk factors for heart failure and death in industrialized countries. Serum data from reduced ejection fraction heart failure patients show a relative or absolute iron deficiency, whereas cellular myocardial analyses field equivocal data. An observed increase in organellar iron deposits was incriminated to cause reactive oxygen species formation, lipid peroxidation, and cell death. Therefore, we studied the effects of iron chelation on a rat model of cardiac hypertrophy. Suprarenal abdominal aortic constriction was achieved surgically, with a period of nine weeks to accommodate the development of chronic pressure overload. Next, deferiprone (100 mg/kg/day), a lipid-permeable iron chelator, was administered for two weeks. Pressure overload resulted in increased inflammation, fibrotic remodeling, lipid peroxidation, left ventricular hypertrophy and mitochondrial iron derangements. Deferiprone reduced cardiac inflammation, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial iron levels, and hypertrophy, without affecting circulating iron levels or ejection fraction. In conclusion, metallic molecules may pose ambivalent effects within the cardiovascular system, with beneficial effects of iron redistribution, chiefly in the mitochondria.

Abstract
Mitochondria-dependent ferroptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC), which remains a clinical challenge due to the lack of effective interventions. Cerium oxide (CeO2), a representative nanozyme, has attracted much attention because of its antioxidant properties. This study evaluated CeO2-based nanozymes for the prevention and treatment of DIC in vitro and in vivo by adding nanoparticles (NPs), which were synthesized by biomineralization, to the culture or giving them to the mice, and the ferroptosis-specific inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) was used as control. The prepared NPs exhibited an excellent antioxidant response and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4)-depended bioregulation, with the additional merits of bio-clearance and long retention in the heart. The experiments showed that NP treatment could significantly reverse myocardial structural and electrical remodeling, and reduce myocardial necrosis. These cardioprotective therapeutic effects were associated with their ability to alleviate oxidative stress, mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, and mitochondrial membrane potential damage, with a superior efficiency to the Fer-1. The study also found that the NPs significantly restored the expression of GPX4 and mitochondrial-associated proteins, thereby restoring mitochondria-dependent ferroptosis. Therefore, the study provides some insights into the role of ferroptosis in DIC. It also shows that CeO2-based nanozymes could be a promising prevention and treatment candidate as a novel cardiomyocyte ferroptosis protector to mitigate DIC and improve prognosis and quality of life in cancer patients.

Abstract
Heart failure is a complex medical syndrome that is attributed to a number of risk factors; nevertheless, its clinical presentation is quite similar among the different etiologies. Heart failure displays a rapidly increasing prevalence due to the aging of the population and the success of medical treatment and devices. The pathophysiology of heart failure comprises several mechanisms, such as activation of neurohormonal systems, oxidative stress, dysfunctional calcium handling, impaired energy utilization, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation, which are also implicated in the development of endothelial dysfunction. Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is usually the result of myocardial loss, which progressively ends in myocardial remodeling. On the other hand, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is common in patients with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, and hypertension, which trigger the creation of a micro-environment of chronic, ongoing inflammation. Interestingly, endothelial dysfunction of both peripheral vessels and coronary epicardial vessels and microcirculation is a common characteristic of both categories of heart failure and has been associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes. Indeed, exercise training and several heart failure drug categories display favorable effects against endothelial dysfunction apart from their established direct myocardial benefit.

Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents 15-25 % of the new breast cancer cases diagnosed worldwide every year. TNBC is among the most aggressive and worst prognosis breast cancer, mainly because targeted therapies are not available. Herein, we developed a magnetic theranostic hybrid nanovehicle for targeted treatment of TNBC through pH-triggered tumour associated macrophages (TAMs) targeting. The lipid core of the nanovehicle was composed of a Carnaúba wax matrix that simultaneously incorporated iron oxide nanoparticles and doxorubicin (DOX) - a chemotherapeutic drug. These drug-loaded wax nanovehicles were modified with a combination of two functional and complementary molecules: (i) a mannose ligand (macrophage targeting) and (ii) an acid-sensitive sheddable polyethylene glycol (PEG) moiety (specificity). The TAMs targeting strategy relied on the mannose - mannose receptor recognition exclusively after acid-sensitive "shedding" of the PEG in the relatively low tumour microenvironment pH. The pH-induced targeting capability towards TAMs was confirmed in vitro in a J774A.1 macrophage cell line at different pH (7.4 and 6.5). Biocompatibility and efficacy of the final targeted formulations were demonstrated in vitro in the TNBC MDA-MB-231 cell line and in vivo in an M-Wnt tumour-bearing (TNBC) mouse model. A preferential accumulation of the DOX-loaded lipid nanovehicles in the tumours of M-Wnt-tumour bearing mice was observed, which resulted both on an efficient tumour growth inhibition and a significantly reduced off-target toxicity compared to free DOX. Additionally, the developed magnetic hybrid nanovehicles showed outstanding performances as T2-contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (r2 ≈ 400-600 mM-1·s-1) and as heat generating sources in magnetic hyperthermia (specific absorption rate, SAR ≈ 178 W·g-1Fe). These targeted magnetic hybrid nanovehicles emerge as a suitable theranostic option that responds to the urgent demand for more precise and personalized treatments, not only because they are able to offer localized imaging and therapeutic potential, but also because they allow to efficiently control the balance between safety and efficacy.

Abstract
The cardiovascular system requires iron to maintain its high energy demands and metabolic activity. Iron plays a critical role in oxygen transport and storage, mitochondrial function, and enzyme activity. However, excess iron is also cardiotoxic due to its ability to catalyze the formation of reactive oxygen species and promote oxidative damage. While mammalian cells have several redundant iron import mechanisms, they are equipped with a single iron-exporting protein, which makes the cardiovascular system particularly sensitive to iron overload. As a result, iron levels are tightly regulated at many levels to maintain homeostasis. Iron dysregulation ranges from iron deficiency to iron overload and is seen in many types of cardiovascular disease, including heart failure, myocardial infarction, anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, and Friedreich's ataxia. Recently, the use of intravenous iron therapy has been advocated in patients with heart failure and certain criteria for iron deficiency. Here, we provide an overview of systemic and cellular iron homeostasis in the context of cardiovascular physiology, iron deficiency, and iron overload in cardiovascular disease, current therapeutic strategies, and future perspectives.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used powerful anthracycline for treatment of many varieties of malignancies; however its cumulative and dose-dependent cardio-toxicity has been limited its clinical use. In the current study, in vivo and in vitro (neonatal rat's cardiomyocytes) experiments were conducted to identify the impact of nifuroxazide (NIFU) on DOX-induced cardiomyopathy, vascular injury, and hemato-toxcity and plot the underlying regulatory mechanisms. Cardiovascular injury was induced in vivo by I.P. injection of an overall dose of DOX (21 mg/kg) administered (3.5 mg/kg) twice weekly for 21 days. NIFU (10 and 30 mg/kg) was administered orally once daily for 21 days, 1 week after DOX injection initiation. In vivo experiments confirmed NIFU to restore blood cells counts and hemoglobin concentration. Moreover, NIFU normalized the myocardial functional status as confirmed by ECG examination and myocardial injury markers; CK-MB, LDH, and AST. NIFU restored the balance between TAC and both of ROS and MDA and down-regulated the protein expression of TLR4, NF-kB, TXNIP, NLR-family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), caspase-1, IL-1β, and GSDMD-N terminal, with inhibition of the up-stream of NLRP3 and the down-stream DOX-induced pyroptosis. The in vitro assay confirmed well preserved cardiomyocytes' architecture, amelioration of NLRP3/IL-1 β-mediated cell pyroptosis, enhanced cell viability, and improved spontaneous beating. Moreover, NIFU normalized the disturbed aortic oxidant-antioxidant balance; enhanced eNOS- mediated endothelial relaxation, and down regulated IL-1β expression. Thus, NIFU may be proposed to serve as a cardioprotective agent to attenuate DOX-induced cardio-toxicity and vascular injury.

Abstract
Drought is one of the foremost environmental factors that limit the growth of plants. Leaf thickness (LT) is an important quantitative trait in plant physiology. The experiment was carried out in a growth room and the plants were divided into two groups such as well-watered and drought-stressed. This work investigated leaf growth in terms of leaf surface growth and expansion rate, leaf stomata traits, LT, anticlinal growth, and leaf cell layers. The results showed that the leaf area and leaf surface expansion rate were decreased by drought stress (DS). Similarly, LT, anticlinal expansion rate, palisade and spongy tissue thickness, and their related expansion rates were also decreased at different days' time points (DTP) of DS. However, a steady increase was observed in the aforementioned parameters after 12 DTP of DS. The stomatal density increased while stomata size decreased at 3 DTP and 12 DTP (low leaf water potential and relative leaf water content at these time points) and vice versa at 24 DTP compared with the well-watered plants indicating adaptations in these traits in response to DS, and thus the leaf water status played a role in the regulation of leaf stomata traits. The cell length decreased in the upper epidermis, palisade and spongy tissues by DS up to 12 DTP led to lower LT while an increase was observed after 12 DTP that resulted in higher LT. The increase in the LT was supported by the upregulation of starch and sucrose metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum pathways at 18 DTP along with the differentially expressed genes induced that were related to cell wall remodeling (cellulose, expansin, xyloglucans) and cell expansion (auxin response factors and aquaporin). The results explain the response of leaf thickness to drought stress and show alterations in LT and leaf stomatal traits. This study might serve as a valuable source of gene information for functional studies and provide a theoretical basis to understand leaf growth in terms of leaf anatomy and leaf stomatal traits under drought stress.

Abstract
While histone deacetylase inhibitors, such as vorinostat, demonstrate a significant effect against hematological cancers, their application for solid tumor treatment is limited. However, there is strong evidence that combinatorial administration of vorinostat and genotoxic agents (e.g., doxorubicin) enhances the antitumoral action of both drugs against tumors. We developed a high-performance liquid chromatography method for the simultaneous determination of doxorubicin and vorinostat in polymeric nanoparticles designed to provide the parenteral administration of both drugs and increase their safety profile. We performed separation on Nucleodur C-18 Gravity column with a mixture of 10 mM potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer pH 3.9:ACN (90:10 v/v) as mobile phase at 240 nm. The method was linear within the concentration range of 4.2-52.0 μg/ml for both drugs with limits of detection and quantification of 3.5 and 10.7 μg/ml for doxorubicin and 2.5 and 7.7 μg/ml for vorinostat, respectively. The method was precise and accurate over the concentration range of analysis. Drug loading was 5.4% for doxorubicin and 0.8% for vorinostat. Degradation of doxorubicin after irradiation was less than 5%, while the amount of vorinostat decreased at 88% under the same conditions. Thus, the validated method could be adopted for routine simultaneous analysis of doxorubicin and vorinostat in polymeric nanoparticles.

Abstract
As a major cause of mortality, cardiovascular disease is associated with obesity and diabetes. However, the molecular mechanism by which diabetes-obesity causes cardiovascular complications is largely unknown. In this study, the crosstalk mediated by 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and mouse retina microvascular endothelial cells (mRMECs) was determined after co-culturing performed with a Transwell system or measuring exosome uptake by mRMECs. CCK-8 assays, EdU incorporation assays, TUNEL staining, and ELISAs were used to evaluate the functions of mRMECs. Related protein markers were analyzed by western blotting. Our results showed that LINC00968 levels were significantly elevated in the exosomes derived from H-Glu-induced 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Both H-Glu treatment and co-culture with 3T3-L1 cells damaged mRMECs, as indicated by lower rates of proliferation and higher rates of apoptosis and cell adhesion molecule expression, as well as by induced inflammation and oxidative stress, which were enhanced by combined H-Glu and co-culture treatment. Furthermore, H-Glu and co-culture treatment increased LINC00968 expression in mRMECs, and the exosomes collected from 3T3-L1 cells had a similar effect. Functionally, LINC00968 inhibition protected mRMECs against the effects of H-Glu and co-culture treatment, while LINC00968 played the opposite role. LINC00968 was found to target miR-361-5p, and TRAF3 was identified as a target gene of miR-361-5p. Finally, miR-361-5p overexpression alleviated the effects of LINC00968 on H-Glu-induced mRMEC dysfunction in vitro. In conclusion, our results indicated that in an H-glu environment, adipocyte exosomes damage microvascular endothelial cells via a LINC00968/miR-361-5p/TRAF3 signaling pathway, which could possibly serve as a target for treating diabetes-obesity-triggered microvascular complications.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox), an anthracycline antibiotic, is an anticancer drug that inhibits DNA replication and cellular metabolic processes in cancer cells with high proliferative potential. However, Dox causes severe side effects, including myocardial damage and heart failure, but the molecular mechanism underlying Dox-induced myocardial injury remains uncertain. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of Dox on the mitochondrial quality control system and regulation of mitochondrial respiration and autophagy in an in vitro rat myoblast H9c2 cell culture model using western blotting, immunohistochemistry, the Seahorse XF24 system, and flow cytometry. Our results showed that Dox did not impair the initiation of autophagic flux or the functions of lysosomes; however, Dox affected the mitochondrial quality control system, leading to a fission-dominant morphology and impaired regulation of mitochondrial respiration, thereby increasing oxidative stress and inhibited progression of autophagy, particularly the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes. This inhibition caused a significant decrease in the formation of autolysosomes and was responsible for the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria and subsequent increase in oxidative stress, eventually leading to increased myocardial cell death.

Abstract
Context: Cardiovascular disorders are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, especially in people with diabetes. Due to synthetic drugs’ adverse effects, new medicines are needed. Evidence Acquisition: Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) is one of the oldest medical systems. In this article, we first introduce a list of cardiotonic medicinal plants based on ITM. Then we review the cardio-related effects of these plants based on electronic databases. Results: Among the introduced medicinal plants from ITM, Phyllanthus emblica L., Rosa canina L., Ocimum basilicum L., and Melissa officinalis L. have cardiotonic effects. Also, P. emblica, O. basilicum, M. officinalis, Citrus medica L., Malus domestica Borkh., Elettaria cardamomum (L.) Maton, and R. canina have cardioprotective effects and possess several biological activities that reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors. Conclusions: The cardiotonic medicinal plants based on ITM have excellent value; several pharmacological studies have proved some of their cardioprotective and cardiotonic effects. The other plants’ potential for improving the heart’s contractile power as a cardiotonic drug must be evaluated in further pharmacological and clinical studies.

Abstract
Background: Anthracyclines such as doxorubicin remain a primary treatment for hematological malignancies and breast cancers. However, cardiotoxicity induced by anthracyclines, possibly leading to heart failure, severely limits their application. The pathological mechanisms of anthracycline-induced cardiac injury are believed to involve iron-overload-mediated formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation. The dietary thione, ergothioneine (ET), is avidly absorbed and accumulated in tissues, including the heart. Amongst other cytoprotective properties, ET was shown to scavenge ROS, decrease proinflammatory mediators, and chelate metal cations, including Fe2+, preventing them from partaking in redox activities, and may protect against mitochondrial damage and dysfunction. Plasma ET levels are also strongly correlated to a decreased risk of cardiovascular events in humans, suggesting a cardioprotective role. This evidence highlights ET's potential to counteract anthracycline cardiotoxicity. Methods and Findings: We investigated whether ET supplementation can protect against cardiac dysfunction in mice models of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and revealed that it had significant protective effects. Moreover, ET administration in a mouse breast cancer model did not exacerbate the growth of the tumor or interfere with the chemotherapeutic efficacy of doxorubicin. Conclusion: These results suggest that ET could be a viable co-therapy to alleviate the cardiotoxic effects of anthracyclines in the treatment of cancers.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRT) exhibit deacetylation or ADP-ribosyltransferase activity and regulate a wide range of cellular processes in the nucleus, mitochondria and cytoplasm. The role of the only sirtuin that resides in the cytoplasm, SIRT2, in the development of heart failure (HF) and cardiac hypertrophy is not known. In this paper, we show that the hearts of mice with deletion of Sirt2 ( Sirt2 -/- ) display improved cardiac function after ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) and pressure overload (PO), suggesting that SIRT2 exerts maladaptive effects in the heart in response to stress. Similar results were obtained in mice with cardiomyocyte-specific Sirt2 deletion. Mechanistic studies suggest that SIRT2 modulates cellular levels and activity of nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2), which results in reduced expression of antioxidant proteins. Deletion of Nrf2 in the hearts of Sirt2 -/- mice reversed protection after PO. Finally, treatment of mouse hearts with a specific SIRT2 inhibitors reduces cardiac size and attenuates cardiac hypertrophy in response to PO. These data indicate that SIRT2 has detrimental effects in the heart and plays a role in the progression of HF and cardiac hypertrophy, which makes this protein a unique member of the SIRT family. Additionally, our studies provide a novel approach for treatment of cardiac hypertrophy by targeting SIRT2 pharmacologically, providing a novel avenue for the treatment of this disorder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early detection of subclinical myocardial dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is essential for preventing heart failure. This study aims to search for predictors of left ventricular (LV) myocardial deformation and tissue abnormalities in T2DM patients with preserved ejection fraction by using CMR T1 mapping and feature tracking. METHODS 70 patients and 44 sex- and age-matched controls (Cs) were recruited and underwent CMR examination to obtain LV myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) and global longitudinal strain (GLS). The patients were subdivided into three groups, including 19 normotensive T2DM patients (G1), 19 hypertensive T2DM patients (G2) and 32 hypertensive patients (HT). The baseline biochemical indices were collected before CMR examination. RESULTS LV ECV in T2DM patients was significantly higher than that in Cs (30.75 ± 3.65% vs. 26.33 ± 2.81%; p < 0.05). LV GLS in T2DM patients reduced compared with that in Cs (-16.51 ± 2.53% vs. -19.66 ± 3.21%, p < 0.001). In the subgroup analysis, ECV in G2 increased compared with that in G1 (31.92 ± 3.05% vs. 29.59 ± 3.90%, p = 0.032) and that in HT, too (31.92 ± 3.05% vs. 29.22 ± 6.58%, p = 0.042). GLS in G2 significantly reduced compared with that in G1 (-15.75 ± 2.29% vs. -17.27 ± 2.57%, p < 0.05) and in HT, too (-15.75 ± 2.29% vs. -17.54 ± 3.097%, p < 0.05). In T2DM group, including both G1 and G2, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) can independently forecast the increase in ECV (β = 0.274, p = 0.001) and decrease in GLS (β = 0.383, p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS T2DM patients with preserved ejection fraction show increased ECV but deteriorated GLS, which may be exacerbated by hypertension of these patients. Hemoglobin A1c is an index that can independently predict T2DM patients' LV myocardial deformation and tissue abnormalities.

Abstract
Circular RNA (circRNA) is a newly discovered noncoding RNA, which forms a closed ring with more than 200 bases in length. CircRNA is formed by back splicing of precursor RNA, and its expression abundance in body fluid is up to 10 times that of homologous linear transcripts. Recently, novel activities for circRNA in various diseases have emerged, ranging from cancer therapy and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we reviewed the literature on the biogenesis of circRNA and its relationship with retinal diseases in recent years. We first described the mechanism, existing form and main function of circRNA. Next, we also pinpoint that circRNA has great value in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases represented by retinoblastoma, retinal degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. By this review, we hope to explore more possibilities of circRNA in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the major barriers in chemotherapy. It is often related to the overexpression of efflux receptors such as P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Overexpressed efflux receptors inhibit chemotherapeutic efficacy by pumping out intracellularly delivered anticancer drugs. In P-gp-mediated MDR-related pathways, PI3K/Akt and NF-kB pathways are commonly activated signaling pathways, but these pathways are downregulated by melittin, a main component of bee venom. In this study, a polymersome based on a poly (lactic acid) (PLA)-hyaluronic acid (HA) (20k-10k) di-block copolymer and encapsulating melittin and doxorubicin was developed to overcome anticancer resistance and enhance chemotherapeutic efficacy. Through the simultaneous delivery of doxorubicin and melittin, PI3K/Akt and NF-κB pathways could be effectively inhibited, thereby downregulating P-gp and successfully enhancing chemotherapeutic efficacy. In conclusion, a polymersome carrying an anticancer drug and melittin could overcome MDR by regulating P-gp overexpression pathways.

Abstract
Background Framingham risk score (FRS) is an effective tool for evaluating the 10-year risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, the sensitivity of FRS for anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is unclear. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the correlation between risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and obesity) in FRS and anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity in breast cancer. Methods We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library for studies published from inception to January 2022 which reported cardiotoxicity due to anthracycline. Cardiotoxicity defined as any cardiac events were used as the primary endpoint. A total of 33 studies involving 55,708 breast cancer patients treated with anthracyclines were included in this meta-analysis. Results At least one risk factor was identified at baseline for the 55,708 breast cancer patients treated with anthracycline. Hypertension [I 2 = 45%, Fixed, RR (95% CI) = 1.40 (1.22, 1.60), p < 0.00001], hyperlipidemia [I 2 = 0%, Fixed, RR (95% CI): 1.35 (1.12, 1.62), p = 0.002], diabetes [I 2 = 0%, Fixed, RR (95% CI): 1.29 (1.05, 1.57), p = 0.01], and obesity [I 2 = 0%, Fixed, RR (95% CI): 1.32 (1.05, 1.67), p = 0.02] were associated with increased risks of cardiac events. In addition, smoking was also associated with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) during anthracycline chemotherapy [I 2 = 0%, Fixed, OR (95% CI): 1.91 (1.24, 2.95), p = 0.003] in studies that recorded only the odds ratio (OR). Conclusion Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and obesity are associated with increased risks of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Therefore, corresponding measures should be used to manage cardiovascular risk factors in breast cancer during and after anthracycline treatment.

Abstract
The anthracyclines are a family of natural products isolated from soil bacteria with over 2000 chemical representatives. Since their discovery seventy years ago by Waksman and co-workers, anthracyclines have become one of the best-characterized anticancer chemotherapies in clinical use. The anthracyclines exhibit broad-spectrum antineoplastic activity for the treatment of a variety of solid and liquid tumors, however, their clinical use is limited by their dose-limiting cardiotoxicity. In this review article, we discuss the toxicity of the anthracyclines on several organ systems, including new insights into doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. In addition, we discuss new medicinal chemistry developments in the biosynthesis of new anthracycline analogs and the synthesis of new anthracycline analogs with diminished cardiotoxicity. Lastly, we review new studies that describe the repurposing of the anthracyclines, or "upcycling" of the anthracyclines, as anti-infective agents, or drugs for niche indications. Altogether, the anthracyclines remain a mainstay in the clinic with a potential new "lease on life" due to deeper insight into the mechanism underlying their cardiotoxicity and new developments into potential new clinical indications for their use. Keywords: Anthracycline, chemotherapy, toxicology, medicinal chemistry, biosynthesis.

Abstract
It is disheartening for parents to discover that their children have long-term cardiac dysfunction after being cured of life-threatening childhood cancers. As the number of childhood cancer survivors increases, early and late oncology-therapy-related cardiovascular complications continues to rise. It is essential to understand that cardiotoxicity in childhood cancer survivors is persistent and progressive. A child's cancer experience extends throughout his lifetime, and ongoing care for long-term survivors is recognized as an essential part of the cancer care continuum. Initially, there was a lack of recognition of late cardiotoxicities related to cancer therapy. About 38 years ago, in 1984, pioneers like Dr. Lipshultz and others published anecdotal case reports of late cardiotoxicities in children and adolescents exposed to chemotherapy, including some who ended up with heart transplantation. At that time, cardiac tests for cancer survivors were denied by insurance companies because they did not meet appropriate use criteria. Since then, cardio-oncology has been an emerging field of cardiology that focuses on the early detection of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction occurring during and after oncological treatment. The passionate pursuit of many healthcare professionals to make life better for childhood cancer survivors led to more than 10,000 peer-reviewed publications in the last 40 years. We synthesized the existing evidence-based practice and described our experiences in this review to share our current method of surveillance and management of cardiac dysfunction related to cancer therapy. This review aims to discuss the pathological basis of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction and heart failure, how to stratify patients prone to cardiotoxicity by identifying modifiable risk factors, early detection of cardiac dysfunction, and prevention and management of heart failure during and after cancer therapy in children. We emphasize serial longitudinal follow-ups of childhood cancer survivors and targeted intervention for high-risk patients. We describe our experience with the new paradigm of cardio-oncology care, and collaboration between cardiologist and oncologist is needed to maximize cancer survival while minimizing late cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer frequently metastasizes to the omentum, which is primarily comprised of adipocytes. Our previous study found that sucrose nonfermenting-related kinase (SNRK) expression is lower in advanced-stage compared with early-stage ovarian cancer tissue. In this study, SNRK knockdown was performed in ovarian cancer cell lines using lentiviral transduction and resulted in decreased cell proliferation, increased invasion, and a switch in metabolism to increased fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Our data suggest that SNRK works as a metabolic checkpoint that allows for oxidative phosphorylation and prevents FAO during a time of rapid tumor growth.

Abstract
AIMS Insulin resistance (IR) is a critical marker underlying type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Exercise is reported to prevent IR, yet the mechanism of which is complicated and largely unknown. Here, the study aimed to ascertain whether and how aerobic exercise mediates IR in T2DM. METHODS An in vivo model of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced IR and an in vitro model of high-glucose-induced IR were constructed. RESULTS Aerobic exercise training in mice led to attenuation of IR in the vascular endothelium. microRNA-299-5p (miR-299-5p) expression was deficient in T2MD, which could be restored by aerobic exercise through modulating the DNA methylation modification enzymes. The expression of miR-299-5p enhanced by aerobic exercise consequently resulted in ameliorating the IR in vivo. Furthermore, increased levels of nitric oxide (NO), reduced levels of Angiotensin II (Ang II), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in response to miR-299-5p elevation suggested the anti-IR role of miR-299-5p in IR-cell model. Dual-luciferase reporter and ChIP assays identified that miR-299-5p could bind to resistin and hence repressed the resistin level. CONCLUSION The key observation of the study is that aerobic exercise stimulates miR-299-5p-targeted resistin inhibition through demethylation, which underlies the mechanism of reducing IR.

Understanding the crosstalk between endothelial cells (ECs) and bone-marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in response to hypoxic environments and deciphering of the underlying mechanisms are of great relevance for better application of BMSCs in tissue engineering. Here, we demonstrated that hypoxia promoted BMSCs proliferation, colony formation, osteogenic markers expression, mineralization, and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, and that PD98059 (ERK inhibitor) blocked hypoxia-induced osteogenic differentiation. Hypoxia enhanced ECs migration, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and integrin αvβ3 expression, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion. NS398 (selective COX-2 inhibitor) and LM609 (integrin αvβ3 specific inhibitor) impaired the ECs response to hypoxia, and exogenous PGE2 partially reversed the effects of NS398. BMSCs: ECs co-culture under hypoxia upregulated BMSCs osteogenesis and ERK phosphorylation, as well as ECs migration, integrin αvβ3 expression, and PGE2 and VEGF secretion. NS398 (pretreated ECs) lessened PGE2, VEGF concentrations of the co-culture system. NS398-treated ECs and AH6809 (combined EP1/2 antagonist)/L-798106 (selective EP3 antagonist)/L-161982 (selective EP4 antagonist)/SU5416 [VEGF receptor (VEGFR) inhibitor]-treated BMSCs impaired the co-cultured ECs-induced enhancement of BMSCs osteogenic differentiation. In conclusion, hypoxia enhances BMSCs proliferation and ERK-mediated osteogenic differentiation, and augments the COX-2-dependent PGE2 and VEGF release, integrin αvβ3 expression, and migration of ECs. COX-2/PGE2/VEGF signaling is involved in intercellular BMSCs: ECs communication under hypoxia.
