Abstract
The primary role of adipose tissue stem cells (ADSCs) is to support the function and homeostasis of adipose tissue in physiological and pathophysiological conditions. However, when ADSCs become dysfunctional in diseases such as obesity and cancer, they become impaired, undergo signalling changes, and their epigenome is altered, which can have a dramatic effect on human health. In more recent years, the therapeutic potential of ADSCs in regenerative medicine, wound healing, and for treating conditions such as cancer and metabolic diseases has been extensively investigated with very promising results. ADSCs have also been used to generate two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cellular and in vivo models to study adipose tissue biology and function as well as intracellular communication. Characterising the biology and function of ADSCs, how it is altered in health and disease, and its therapeutic potential and uses in cellular models is key for designing intervention strategies for complex metabolic diseases and cancer.

Abstract
The heart and brain are the core organs of the circulation and central nervous system, respectively, and play an important role in maintaining normal physiological functions. Early neuronal and cardiac damage affects organ function. The relationship between the heart and brain is being continuously investigated. Evidence-based medicine has revealed the concept of the "heart- brain axis," which may provide new therapeutic strategies for certain diseases. Takeda protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) is a metabolic regulator involved in energy homeostasis, bile acid homeostasis, and glucose and lipid metabolism. Inflammation is critical for the development and regeneration of the heart and brain during metabolic diseases. Herein, we discuss the role of TGR5 as a metabolic regulator of heart and brain development and injury to facilitate new therapeutic strategies for metabolic and ischemic diseases of the heart and brain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Growing evidence points to a connection between cardiovascular disease and cognitive impairment. These observational study findings, however, were not all uniform, and some did not discover a link like this. Investigating the causal link between cognitive impairment and cardiovascular disease is vital. METHOD Using publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary datasets and stringent screening instrumental variables, we carried out a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study. To investigate the causality between cardiovascular disease and cognitive impairment, three different MR techniques-inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, and weighted median-as well as various sensitivity analyses-Cochran's Q, ivw_radial, leave-one-out (LOO), MR-Egger intercept, and MR-PRESSO-were used. RESULTS The causal impact of genetically predicted cognitive performance on hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, coronary atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and myocardial infarction was detected in the forward MR analysis, but not stroke or any subtypes. We only discover the causal effects of hypertension, any stroke, and its subtypes (ischemic and small vessel stroke) on cognitive performance in the reverse MR analysis. CONCLUSION This MR analysis offers proof of a causal link between cognitive impairment and elevated cardiovascular disease risk. Our research emphasizes the value of cognitively impaired patients being screened for cardiovascular disease, which may offer fresh perspectives on cardiovascular disease prevention.

Combination Therapy with Platelet-Rich Plasma and Epidermal Neural Crest Stem Cells Increases Treatment Efficacy in Vascular Dementia. Stem Cells Int 2023; 2023:3784843. [PMID: 38146481 PMCID: PMC10749736 DOI: 10.1155/2023/3784843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 11/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/27/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and treatment mechanism of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and neural crest-derived epidermal stem cells (ESCs) in their administration alone and combination in vascular dementia (VaD) model by two-vessel occlusion (2VO). Methods. Sixty-six rats were divided into six groups: the control, sham, 2VO + vehicle, 2VO + PRP, 2VO + ESC, and 2VO + ESC + PRP. The treated groups received 1 million cells on days 4, 14, and 21 with or without 500 µl PRP (twice a week) after 2VO. The memory performance and anxiety were evaluated by behavioral tests including open field, passive avoidance, and Morris water maze. The basal-synaptic transmission (BST) and long-term potentiation (LTP) were assessed through field-potential recordings of the CA1. The mRNA expression levels of IGF-1, TGF-β1, PSD-95, and GSk-3β were measured in the rat hippocampus by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results. The results demonstrated impaired learning, memory, and synaptic plasticity in the 2VO rats, along with a significant decrease in the expression of IGF-1, TGF-β1, PSD-95, and upregulation of GSK-3β. Treatment with ESC alone and ESC + PRP showed similar improvements in spatial memory and LTP induction, with associated upregulation of PSD-95 and downregulation of GSK-3β. However, only the ESC + PRP group showed recovery in BST. Furthermore, combination therapy was more effective than PRP monotherapy for LTP and memory. Conclusions. The transplantation of ESC showed better effects than PRP alone, and combination therapy increased the treatment efficacy with the recovery of BST. This finding may be a clue for the combination therapy of ESC and PRP for VaD.

Treatment with apoptosis inhibitor restores cognitive impairment in rats with myocardial infarction. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2023; 1869:166809. [PMID: 37453581 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2023.166809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
We previously reported that apoptosis is responsible for cognitive impairment in rats with myocardial infarction (MI). Acute administration of an apoptosis inhibitor (Z-vad) effectively reduced brain inflammation in rats with cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the beneficial effects of Z-vad on cognitive function, brain inflammation, mitochondrial function, cell death pathways, and neurogenesis in MI rats have not been investigated. Male rats were divided into sham or MI groups (left anterior descending coronary ligation). A successful MI was determined by a reduction of ejection fraction <50 %. Then, MI rats were allocated to receive vehicle, enalapril (10 mg/kg, a positive control), and Z-vad (1 mg/kg) for 4 weeks. Cardiac function, cognitive function, and molecular analysis were investigated. MI rats exhibited cardiac dysfunction, cognitive impairment, blood brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, dendritic spine loss, which were accompanied by an upregulation of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis. Chronic treatment with Z-vad attenuated cardiac dysfunction following MI to the same extent as enalapril. Z-vad successfully improved cognitive function and restored dendritic spine density in MI rats through a reduction of systemic oxidative stress and brain mitochondrial dysfunction similar to enalapril. Moreover, Z-vad provided greater efficacy than enalapril in enhancing mitophagy, neurogenesis, synaptic proteins and reducing apoptosis in hippocampus of MI rats. Nevertheless, neither Z-vad nor enalapril increased BBB tight junction protein. In conclusion, treatment with an apoptosis inhibitor reduced cognitive impairment in MI rats via reducing oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and restoring dendritic spine density, together with enhancing mitophagy and neurogenesis.

Panax ginseng against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury: A review of preclinical evidence and potential mechanisms. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 300:115715. [PMID: 36108895 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115715] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer (P. ginseng) is effective in the prevention and treatment of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. The mechanism by which P. ginseng exerts cardioprotective effects is complex. P. ginseng contains many pharmacologically active ingredients, such as molecular glycosides, polyphenols, and polysaccharides. P. ginseng and each of its active components can potentially act against myocardial I/R injury. Myocardial I/R was originally a treatment for myocardial ischemia, but it also induced irreversible damage, including oxygen-containing free radicals, calcium overload, energy metabolism disorder, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, microvascular injury, autophagy, and apoptosis. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to clarify the protective effects of P. ginseng and its active ingredients against myocardial I/R injury, so as to provide experimental evidence and new insights for the research and application of P. ginseng in the field of myocardial I/R injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS This review was based on a search of PubMed, NCBI, Embase, and Web of Science databases from their inception to February 21, 2022, using terms such as "ginseng," "ginsenosides," and "myocardial reperfusion injury." In this review, we first summarized the active ingredients of P. ginseng, including ginsenosides, ginseng polysaccharides, and phytosterols, as well as the pathophysiological mechanisms of myocardial I/R injury. Importantly, preclinical models with myocardial I/R injury and potential mechanisms of these active ingredients of P. ginseng for the prevention and treatment of myocardial disorders were generally summarized. RESULTS P. ginseng and its active components can regulate oxidative stress related proteins, inflammatory cytokines, and apoptosis factors, while protecting the myocardium and preventing myocardial I/R injury. Therefore, P. ginseng can play a role in the prevention and treatment of myocardial I/R injury. CONCLUSIONS P. ginseng has a certain curative effect on myocardial I/R injury. It can prevent and treat myocardial I/R injury in several ways. When ginseng exerts its effects, should be based on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and with the help of modern medicine; the clinical efficacy of P. ginseng in preventing and treating myocardial I/R injury can be improved.

Mild cognitive impairment occurs in rats during the early remodeling phase of myocardial infarction. Neuroscience 2022; 493:31-40. [PMID: 35487300 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2022.04.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
Cognitive impairment is a common health problem among people with heart failure (HF). Increases in oxidative stress, brain inflammation, and microglial hyperactivity have been reported in preclinical models of myocardial infarction (MI)-induced HF. We tested the hypothesis that oxidative stress, brain inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell death participate in cognitive impairment in the early remodeling phase of MI. Rats underwent either a sham or permanent left anterior descending coronary ligation to induce MI. 1-week post-operation, MI rats with % left ventricular ejection fraction (%LVEF) ≥50 were assigned as a HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) group and MI rats with %LVEF<50 were assigned as a HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) group. Cognitive function and biochemical markers were assessed at week 5. The mean value of %LVEF in HFpEF and HFrEF were 63.62±8.33 and 42.83±3.93 respectively, which were lower than in the sham group, suggesting that these rats developed MI with cardiac dysfunction. Hippocampal dependent cognitive impairment was observed in MI rats. Serum, brain, and mitochondrial oxidative stress were all increased in MI rats, along with apoptosis, resulting in dendritic spine loss. However, brain inflammation and AD proteins did not change. In conclusion, during the early remodeling phase of MI, a high level of oxidative stress appears to be a major contributor of cellular damage which is associated with mild cognitive impairment. However, the severity of MI, as evidenced by the %LVEF, was not associated with the degree of cognitive impairment.
