Abstract
In vitro cellular models provide valuable insights into the adaptive biochemical mechanisms triggered by cells to cope with the stress situation induced by hypoxia and reoxygenation cycles. The first biological data generated in studies based on this micrometric life-scale has the potential to provide us a global overview about the main biochemical phenomena presented in some reported preconditioning therapies in life-scale of higher dimensions. Thus, in this study, a cell incubator was designed and manufactured to produce a cellular model of heart hypoxia followed by reoxygenation (HfR) through consecutive repetitions of hypoxia-normoxia gas exchange. Samples of cellular extracts and culture media were obtained from non-proliferative cardiomyocytes (CMs) cultivated under challenging HfR (stressed CMs) and regular cultivation (unstressed CMs) in rounds of four days for each case. Metabolomic based on proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was used as an analytical approach to identify and quantify the metabolomes of these samples, the endo- and exo-metabolome. Despite the stressed CMs presented over 90% higher cellular death rate compared to the unstressed CMs, the metabolic profiles indicates that the surviving cells up-regulate their amino acid metabolism either by active protein degradation or by the consumption of culture media components to increase coenzyme A-dependent metabolic pathways. This cell auto-regulation mechanism could be well characterized in the first two days when the difference smears off under once the metabolomes become similar. The metabolic adaptations of stressed CMs identified the relevance of the cyclic oxidation/reduction reactions of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate molecules, NADP+/NADPH, and the increased tricarboxylic acid cycle activity in an environment overloaded with such a powerful antioxidant agent to survive an extreme HfR challenge. Thus, the combination of cellular models based on CMs, investigative methods, such as metabolomic and 1H-MRS, and the instrumental development of hypoxia incubator shown in this work were able to provide the first biochemical evidences behind therapies of gaseous exchanges paving the way to future assays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a hereditary disease manifested by a thickened ventricular wall. Cysteine and glycine-rich protein 3 (CSRP3), the gene encoding muscle LIM protein, is important for initiating hypertrophic gene expression. The mutation of CSRP3 causes dilated cardiomyopathy or HCM. METHODS In the present study, we enrolled a Chinese family with HCM across three generations. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed in the proband to detect the candidate genes of the family. Sanger sequencing was performed for mutational analysis and confirmation of cosegregation. RESULTS Through histopathological and imaging examinations, an obvious left ventricular hypertrophy was found in the proband. After WES data filtering, bioinformatic prediction and co-segregation analysis, a nonsense mutation (NM_003476.5:c.364C>T; NP_003467.1:p.Arg122*) of CSRP3 was identified in this family. This variant was predicted to be disease-causing and resulted in a truncated protein. CONCLUSIONS This is the first HCM family case of CSRP3 (p.Arg122*) variation in Asia. The finding here not only contributes to the genetic diagnosis and counseling of the family, but also provides a new case with detailed phenotypes that may be caused by the CSRP3 variant.
