Podophyllotoxin via SIRT1/PPAR /NF-κB axis induced cardiac injury in rats based on the toxicological evidence chain (TEC) concept. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 130:155655. [PMID: 38838636 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 02/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The study of cardiotoxicity of drugs has become an important part of clinical safety evaluation of drugs. It is commonly known that podophyllotoxin (PPT) and its many derivatives and congeners are broad-spectrum pharmacologically active substances. Clinical cardiotoxicity of PPT and its derivatives has been raised, basic research on the mechanism of cardiotoxicity remains insufficient. PURPOSE In present study, our group's innovative concept of toxicological evidence chain (TEC) was applied to reveal the cardiac toxicity mechanism of PPT by targeted metabolomics, TMT-based quantitative proteomics and western blot. METHODS The injury phenotype evidence (IPE) acquired from the toxicity manifestations, such as weight and behavior observation of Sprague-Dawley rat. The damage to rat hearts were assessed through histopathological examination and myocardial enzymes levels, which were defined as Adverse Outcomes Evidence (AOE). The damage to rat hearts was assessed through histopathological examination and myocardial enzyme levels, which were defined as evidence of adverse outcomes.Overall measurements of targeted metabolomics based on energy metabolism and TMT-based quantitative proteomics were obtained after exposure to PPT to acquire the Toxic Event Evidence (TEE). The mechanism of cardiac toxicity was speculated based on the integrated analysis of targeted metabolomics and TMT-based quantitative proteomics, which was verified by western blot. RESULTS The results indicated that exposure to PPT could result in significant elevation of myocardial enzymes and pathological alterations in rat hearts. In addition, we found that PPT caused disorders in cardiac energy metabolism, characterized by a decrease in energy metabolism fuels. TMT-based quantitative proteomics revealed that the PPAR (Peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor) signaling pathway needs further study. It is worth noting that PPT may suppress the expression of SIRT1, subsequently inhibiting AMPK, decreasing the expression of PGC-1α, PPARα and PPARγ. This results in disorders of glucose oxidation, glycolysis and ketone body metabolism. Additionally, the increase in the expression of p-IKK and p-IκBα, leads to the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 from the cytosol, thus triggering inflammation. CONCLUSION This study comprehensively evaluated cardiac toxicity of PPT and initially revealed the mechanism of cardiotoxicity,suggesting that PPT induced disorders of energy metabolism and inflammation via SIRT1/PPAR/NF-κB axis, potentially contributing to cardiac injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors have been shown to improve cardiovascular outcomes in general, little is presently known about any sex-specific changes that may result from this therapy. We sought to investigate and quantify potential sex-specific changes seen with the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor canagliflozin (CAN) in a swine model of chronic myocardial ischemia. STUDY DESIGN Eighteen Yorkshire swine underwent left thoracotomy with placement of an ameroid constrictor. Two weeks postop, swine were assigned to receive either control (F = 5 and M = 5) or CAN 300 mg daily (F = 4 and M = 4). After 5 weeks of therapy, swine underwent myocardial functional measurements, and myocardial tissue was sent for proteomic analysis. RESULTS Functional measurements showed increased cardiac output, stroke volume, ejection fraction, and ischemic myocardial flow at rest in male swine treated with CAN compared with control male swine (all p < 0.05). The female swine treated with CAN had no change in cardiac function as compared with control female swine. Proteomic analysis demonstrated 6 upregulated and 97 downregulated proteins in the CAN female group compared with the control female group. Pathway analysis showed decreases in proteins in the tricarboxylic acidic cycle. The CAN male group had 639 upregulated and 172 downregulated proteins compared with control male group. Pathway analysis showed increases in pathways related to cellular metabolism and decreases in pathways relevant to the development of cardiomyopathy and to oxidative phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS Male swine treated with CAN had significant improvements in cardiac function that were not observed in female swine treated with CAN. Moreover, CAN treatment in male swine was associated with significantly more changes in protein expression than in female swine treated with CAN. The increased proteomic changes seen in the CAN male group likely contributed to the more robust changes in cardiac function seen in male swine treated with CAN.

Abstract
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), a new class of glucose-lowering drugs traditionally used to control blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, have been proven to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death, in patients with heart failure irrespective of ejection fraction and independently of the hypoglycemic effect. Because of their favorable effects on the kidney and cardiovascular outcomes, their use has been expanded in all patients with any combination of diabetes mellitus type 2, chronic kidney disease and heart failure. Although mechanisms explaining the effects of these drugs on the cardiovascular system are not well understood, their effectiveness in all these conditions suggests that they act at the intersection of the metabolic, renal and cardiac axes, thus disrupting maladaptive vicious cycles while contrasting direct organ damage. In this systematic review we provide a state of the art of the randomized controlled trials investigating the effect of SGLT2i on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease and/or heart failure irrespective of ejection fraction and diabetes. We also discuss the molecular targets and signaling pathways potentially explaining the cardiac effects of these pharmacological agents, from a clinical and experimental perspective.

Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis is a major and complex pathophysiological process that ultimately culminates in cardiac dysfunction and heart failure. This phenomenon includes not only the replacement of the damaged tissue by a fibrotic scar produced by activated fibroblasts/myofibroblasts but also a spatiotemporal alteration of the structural, biochemical, and biomechanical parameters in the ventricular wall, eliciting a reactive remodeling process. Though mechanical stress, post-infarct homeostatic imbalances, and neurohormonal activation are classically attributed to cardiac fibrosis, emerging evidence that supports the roles of immune system modulation, inflammation, and metabolic dysregulation in the initiation and progression of cardiac fibrogenesis has been reported. Adaptive changes, immune cell phenoconversions, and metabolic shifts in the cardiac nonmyocyte population provide initial protection, but persistent altered metabolic demand eventually contributes to adverse remodeling of the heart. Altered energy metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, various immune cells, immune mediators, and cross-talks between the immune cells and cardiomyocytes play crucial roles in orchestrating the transdifferentiation of fibroblasts and ensuing fibrotic remodeling of the heart. Manipulation of the metabolic plasticity, fibroblast-myofibroblast transition, and modulation of the immune response may hold promise for favorably modulating the fibrotic response following different cardiovascular pathological processes. Although the immunologic and metabolic perspectives of fibrosis in the heart are being reported in the literature, they lack a comprehensive sketch bridging these two arenas and illustrating the synchrony between them. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the intricate relationship between different cardiac immune cells and metabolic pathways as well as summarizes the current understanding of the involvement of immune-metabolic pathways in cardiac fibrosis and attempts to identify some of the previously unaddressed questions that require further investigation. Moreover, the potential therapeutic strategies and emerging pharmacological interventions, including immune and metabolic modulators, that show promise in preventing or attenuating cardiac fibrosis and restoring cardiac function will be discussed.

Abstract
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasingly prevalent and now accounts for half of all heart failure cases. This rise is largely attributed to growing rates of obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. Despite its prevalence, the pathophysiological mechanisms of HFpEF are not fully understood. The heart, being the most energy-demanding organ, appears to have a compromised bioenergetic capacity in heart failure, affecting all phenotypes and aetiologies. While metabolic disturbances in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) have been extensively studied, similar insights into HFpEF are limited. This review collates evidence from both animal and human studies, highlighting metabolic dysregulations associated with HFpEF and its risk factors, such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. We discuss how changes in substrate utilisation, oxidative phosphorylation, and energy transport contribute to HFpEF. By delving into these pathological shifts in myocardial energy production, we aim to reveal novel therapeutic opportunities. Potential strategies include modulating energy substrates, improving metabolic efficiency, and enhancing critical metabolic pathways. Understanding these aspects could be key to developing more effective treatments for HFpEF.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a complex and multifactorial disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by metabolic disturbances of substrates such as glucose, fatty acids (FAs), ketone bodies, and amino acids, which lead to changes in cardiac energy metabolism pathways. These metabolic alterations can directly or indirectly promote myocardial remodeling, thereby accelerating the progression of HF, resulting in a vicious cycle of worsening symptoms, and contributing to the increased hospitalization and mortality among patients with HF. In this review, we summarized the latest researches on energy metabolic profiling in HF and provided the related translational therapeutic strategies for this devastating disease. By taking a holistic approach to understanding energy metabolism changes in HF, we hope to provide comprehensive insights into the pathophysiology of this challenging condition and identify novel precise targets for the development of more effective treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress induced by the excessive production of reactive oxygen species is one of the primary mechanisms implicated in anthracycline (ANT)-induced cardiotoxicity. There is a strong clinical need for a molecule capable of effectively preventing and reducing the oxidative damage caused by ANT. In vitro and in vivo studies conducted in mice have shown that melatonin stimulates the expression of antioxidative agents and reduces lipid peroxidation induced by ANT. METHODS We investigated this issue through a meta-analysis of murine model studies. The outcome of the meta-analysis was to compare oxidative damage, estimated by products of lipid peroxidation (MDA = Malondialdehyde) and markers of oxidative stress (SOD = Superoxide Dismutase, GSH = Glutathione), along with a marker of cardiac damage (CK-MB = creatine kinase-myocardial band), assessed by measurements in heart and/or blood samples in mice undergoing ANT chemotherapy and assuming melatonin vs. controls. The PubMed, OVID-MEDLINE and Cochrane library databases were analysed to search English-language review papers published from the inception up to August 1st, 2023. Studies were identified by using Me-SH terms and crossing the following terms: "melatonin", "oxidative stress", "lipid peroxidation", "anthracycline", "cardiotoxicity". RESULTS The metanalysis included 153 mice administered melatonin before, during or immediately after ANT and 153 controls from 13 studies. Compared with controls, the levels of all oxidative stress markers were significantly better in the pooled melatonin group, with standardized mean differences (SMD) for MDA, GSH and SOD being -8.03 ± 1.2 (CI: -10.43/-5.64, p < 0.001), 7.95 ± 1.8 (CI: 4.41/11.5, p < 0.001) and 3.94 ± 1.6 (CI: 0.77/7.12, p = 0.015) respectively. Similarly, compared with controls, CK-MB levels reflecting myocardial damage were significantly lower in the pooled melatonin group, with an SMD of -4.90 ± 0.5 (CI: -5.82/-3.98, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Melatonin mitigates the oxidative damage induced by ANT in mouse model. High-quality human clinical studies are needed to further evaluate the use of melatonin as a preventative/treatment strategy for ANT-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome that represents the advanced stage of cardiovascular disease, characterized by systolic and diastolic dysfunction of the heart. Despite continuous updates in HF treatment drugs, the morbidity and mortality rates remain high, necessitating ongoing exploration for new therapeutic targets. Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the serine/threonine protein kinase which responds to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) levels.Activation of AMPK shifts cellular metabolic patterns from synthesis to catabolism, enhancing energy metabolism in pathological conditions such as inflammation, ischemia, obesity, and aging. Numerous studies have identified AMPK as a vital target for HF treatment, with herbal monomers/extracts and compounds affecting key signaling factors including rapamycin targeting protein (mTOR), silencing regulator protein 1 (SIRT1), nuclear transcription factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) through regulation of the AMPK signaling pathway.This modulation can achieve the effects of improving metabolism, autophagy, reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response in the treatment of heart failure, with the advantages of multi-targeting, comprehensive action and low toxicity.The modulation of the AMPK pathway by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has emerged as a crucial research direction for the prevention and treatment of HF, but a systematic summary and generalization in this field is lacking. This article provides an overview of the composition, regulation, and mechanism of the AMPK signaling pathway's influence on HF, as well as a summary of current research on the regulation of the AMPK pathway by TCM for HF prevention and treatment. The aim is to serve as a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of HF using TCM and the development of new drugs.
