Abstract
PURPOSE Here we aimed to develop a minimally invasive treatment for ischemic heart disease and demonstrate that low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy improves myocardial ischemia by promoting myocardial angiogenesis in a porcine model of chronic myocardial ischemia. Studies to date determined the optimal treatment conditions within the range of settings available with existing ultrasound equipment and did not investigate a wider range of conditions. METHODS We investigated a broad range of five parameters associated with ultrasound irradiation conditions that promote expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), a key molecule that promotes angiogenesis in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC). RESULTS Suboptimal irradiation conditions included 1-MHz ultrasound frequency, 500-kPa sound pressure, 20-min total irradiation time, 32-48-[Formula: see text] pulse duration, and 320-[Formula: see text] pulse repetition time. Furthermore, a proposed index, [Formula: see text], calculated as the product of power and the total number of irradiation cycles applied to cells using LIPUS, uniformly revealed the experimental eNOS expression associated with the various values of five parameters under different irradiation conditions. CONCLUSION We determined the suboptimal ultrasound irradiation conditions for promoting eNOS expression in HCAEC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis are major pathological manifestations observed in left ventricular remodeling induced by angiotensin II (AngII). Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been reported to ameliorate cardiac dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis in myocardial infarction (MI) through mechano-transduction and its downstream pathways. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether LIPUS could exert a protective effect by ameliorating AngII-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis and if so, to further elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS We used AngII to mimic animal and cell culture models of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. LIPUS irradiation was applied in vivo for 20 min every 2 d from one week before mini-pump implantation to four weeks after mini-pump implantation, and in vitro for 20 min on each of two occasions 6 h apart. Cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis levels were then evaluated by echocardiographic, histopathological, and molecular biological methods. RESULTS Our results showed that LIPUS could ameliorate left ventricular remodeling in vivo and cardiac fibrosis in vitro by reducing AngII-induced release of inflammatory cytokines, but the protective effects on cardiac hypertrophy were limited in vitro. Given that LIPUS increased the expression of caveolin-1 in response to mechanical stimulation, we inhibited caveolin-1 activity with pyrazolopyrimidine 2 (pp2) in vivo and in vitro. LIPUS-induced downregulation of inflammation was reversed and the anti-fibrotic effects of LIPUS were absent. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that LIPUS could ameliorate AngII-induced cardiac fibrosis by alleviating inflammation via a caveolin-1-dependent pathway, providing new insights for the development of novel therapeutic apparatus in clinical practice.

Ultrasound-Targeted Microbubble Destruction Accelerates Angiogenesis and Ameliorates Left Ventricular Dysfunction after Myocardial Infarction in Mice. ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY 2021; 47:2692-2701.

Abstract
Failure of coronary recanalization within 12 h or no flow in the myocardium after percutaneous coronary intervention is associated with high mortality from myocardial infarction, and insufficient angiogenesis in the border zone results in the expansion of infarct area. In this study, we examined the effects of ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) on angiogenesis and left ventricular dysfunction in a mouse model of myocardial infarction. Fifty-four mice with MI were treated with no UTMD, ultrasound (US) alone or UTMD four times (days 1, 3, 5 and 7), and another 18 mice underwent sham operation and therapy. Therapeutic US was generated with a linear transducer connected to a commercial diagnostic US system (VINNO70). UTMD was performed with the VINNO70 at a peak negative pressure of 0.8 MPa and lipid microbubbles. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed on the first and seventh days. The results indicated that UTMD decreased the infarct size ratio from 78.1 ± 5.3% (untreated) to 43.3 ± 6.4%, accelerated angiogenesis and ameliorated left ventricular dysfunction. The ejection fraction increased from 25.05 ± 8.52% (untreated) to 42.83 ± 9.44% (UTMD). Compared with that in other groups, expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and endothelial nitric oxide synthase and release of nitric oxide were significantly upregulated after UTMD treatment, indicating angiogenesis. Therefore, UTMD is a potential physical approach in the treatment of myocardial infarction.

Abstract
A spaceflight to the International Space Station (ISS) is a dream of many researchers. We had the chance to investigate the effect of real microgravity (CellBox-2 Space mission) on the transcriptome and proteome of FTC-133 human follicular thyroid cancer cells (TCC). The cells had been sent to the ISS by a Falcon 9 rocket of SpaceX CRS-13 from Cape Canaveral (United States) and cultured in six automated hardware units on the ISS before they were fixed and returned to Earth. Multicellular spheroids (MCS) were detectable in all spaceflight hardware units. The VCL, PXN, ITGB1, RELA, ERK1 and ERK2 mRNA levels were significantly downregulated after 5 days in space in adherently growing cells (AD) and MCS compared with ground controls (1g), whereas the MIK67 and SRC mRNA levels were both suppressed in MCS. By contrast, the ICAM1, COL1A1 and IL6 mRNA levels were significantly upregulated in AD cells compared with 1g and MCS. The protein secretion measured by multianalyte profiling technology and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (AngiogenesisMAP®, extracellular matrix proteins) was not significantly altered, with the exception of elevated angiopoietin 2. TCC in space formed MCS, and the response to microgravity was mainly anti-proliferative. We identified ERK/RELA as a major microgravity regulatory pathway.

Abstract
Along with the progress of global aging, the prognosis of severe ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains poor, and thus the development of effective angiogenic therapy remains an important clinical unmet need. We have developed low-energy extracorporeal cardiac shock wave therapy as an innovative minimally invasive angiogenic therapy and confirmed its efficacy in a porcine chronic myocardial ischemia model in animal experiments as well as in patients with refractory angina. Since ultrasound is more advantageous for clinical application than shock waves, we then aimed to develop ultrasound therapy for IHD. We demonstrated that specific conditions of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy improve myocardial ischemia in animal models through the enhancement of angiogenesis mediated by endothelial mechanotransduction. To examine the effectiveness of our LIPUS therapy in patients with severe angina pectoris, we are now conducting a prospective multicenter clinical trial in Japan. Furthermore, to overcome the current serious situation of dementia pandemic but with no effective treatments worldwide, we have recently demonstrated that our LIPUS therapy also improves cognitive impairment in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. Here, we summarize the progress in our studies to develop angiogenic therapies with sound waves.

Abstract
Previous studies have produced contradictory results with regard to the role of osteopontin (OPN) and caveolin-1 in the pathology of osteoarthritis (OA). Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between OPN and caveolin-1 in the pathogenesis and progression of OA. Cartilage tissue samples were obtained from 50 individuals, of which 40 had been diagnosed with OA and 10 were normal healthy individuals. The samples were ascribed to four groups, namely the normal, minor, moderate and severe groups, on the basis of the improved Mankin grading system. Immunohistochemistry was applied to analyse the expression of OPN and caveolin-1. OPN and caveolin-1 were detected in the tissues of all four groups. The mutual comparisons of OPN expression levels among the groups revealed statistically significant differences (P<0.05). In addition, the mutual comparisons of caveolin-1 expression levels among the four groups demonstrated statistically significant differences (P<0.05), with the exception of that between the moderate and severe groups (P>0.05). Improved Mankin grading system scores were shown to correlate with the average grey level of OPN expression in each group (r=-0.824, P<0.01) and the average grey level of caveolin-1 expression (r=0.725, P<0.01). Furthermore, a statistically significant negative correlation was observed between the average grey levels of OPN and caveolin-1 expression (r=-0.676, P﹤0.05). Therefore, the results of the present study indicated that the correlation between OPN and caveolin-1 may play a significant role in the pathogenesis and progression of OA.

Abstract
β1 integrins (β1) transduce mechanical signals in many cells, including cardiac myocytes (CM). Given their close localization, as well as their role in mechanotransduction and signaling, we hypothesized that caveolin (Cav) proteins might regulate integrins in the CM. β1 localization, complex formation, activation state, and signaling were analyzed using wild-type, Cav3 knockout, and Cav3 CM-specific transgenic heart and myocyte samples. Studies were performed under basal and mechanically loaded conditions. We found that: (1) β1 and Cav3 colocalize in CM and coimmunoprecipitate from CM protein lysates; (2) β1 is detected in a subset of caveolae; (3) loss of Cav3 caused reduction of β1D integrin isoform and active β1 integrin from the buoyant domains in the heart; (4) increased expression of myocyte Cav3 correlates with increased active β1 integrin in adult CM; (5) in vivo pressure overload of the wild-type heart results in increased activated integrin in buoyant membrane domains along with increased association between active integrin and Cav3; and (6) Cav3-deficient myocytes have perturbed basal and stretch mediated signaling responses. Thus, Cav3 protein can modify integrin function and mechanotransduction in the CM and intact heart.

Abstract
The formation of protrusions is necessary for numerous biological processes. It involves extension of the plasma membrane, and the force needed for this is provided by the actin cytoskeleton. Tether pulling with optical tweezers can mimic the formation of a protrusion, so we used this method to investigate the effects of modifying not only actin (with latrunculin A) but also microtubules (with nocodazole) and the plasma membrane itself (with methyl-β-cyclodextrin) on the Chinese hamster ovary cell membrane. After these modifications, the membrane reservoir was supposed to redistribute. Caveolae constitute a small part of the reservoir, so the redistribution of caveolar proteins such as caveolin-1 and cavin-1 that represents caveolae per se was assessed. The main findings concerning protrusion force and membrane reservoir availability were as follows: (1) they correlated inversely, (2) their values underwent the greatest change after microtubule disruption, and (3) membrane composition had a major influence on the parameters studied. F-actin disruption and cholesterol depletion decreased, and microtubule disruption increased the amount of the caveolar proteins (caveolae). Caveolae presented just an example of the membrane reservoir, and from our findings, we suppose that the perturbations caused were too large to be related to caveolae redistribution alone. The integrity of the cytoskeleton and plasma membrane composition are important factors in the formation of protrusions and in determining the availability and distribution of the membrane reservoir.
