Tanreqing injection inhibits influenza virus replication by promoting the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes: An integrated pharmacological study. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 331:118159. [PMID: 38677572 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118159] [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: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Tanreqing injection (TRQ) is widely used, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) injection used in China to treat respiratory infections. Modern pharmacological studies have confirmed that TRQ can protect against influenza viruses. However, the mechanism by which TRQ inhibits influenza viruses remains unclear. AIM OF THE STUDY To explore the therapeutic effects and possible mechanisms of TRQ inhibition by the influenza virus. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF MS) was used to determine the chemical composition of TRQ. Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) were used to define differential proteins related to TRQ inhibition of viruses. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed for functional annotation. For experimental validation, we established an in vitro model of the influenza virus infection by infecting A549 cells with the virus. The detection of the signaling pathway was carried out through qPCR, western blotting,and immunofluorescence. RESULTS Fifty one components were identified using UPLC/Q-TOF MS. We confirmed the inhibitory effect of TRQ on influenza virus replication in vitro. Ninety nine differentially expressed proteins related to the inhibitory effect of TRQ were identified using iTRAQ. KEGG functional enrichment analysis showed that the TRQ may inhibit influenza virus replication by affecting autophagy. Through network analysis, 29 targets were selected as major targets, and three key targets, HSPA5, PARP1, and GAPDH, may be the TRQ targets affecting autophagy. In vitro experiments showed that TRQ inhibits influenza virus replication by interfering with the expression and localization of STX17 and VAMP8 proteins, thereby promoting the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes. CONCLUSION TRQ inhibits influenza virus replication by promoting the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes. We additionally established potential gene and protein targets which are affected by TRQ. Therefore, our findings provide new therapeutic targets and a foundation further studies on influenza treatment with TRQ.

PARP-2 mediates cardiomyocyte aging and damage induced by doxorubicin through SIRT1 Inhibition. Apoptosis 2024; 29:816-834. [PMID: 38281279 DOI: 10.1007/s10495-023-01929-y] [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] [Accepted: 12/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline antibiotic used as an antitumor treatment. However, its clinical application is limited due to severe side effects such as cardiotoxicity. In recent years, numerous studies have demonstrated that cellular aging has become a therapeutic target for DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. However, the underlying mechanism and specific molecular targets of DOX-induced cardiomyocyte aging remain unclear. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a family of protein post-translational modification enzymes in eukaryotic cells, including 18 members. PARP-1, the most well-studied member of this family, has become a potential molecular target for the prevention and treatment of various cardiovascular diseases, such as DOX cardiomyopathy and heart failure. PARP-1 and PARP-2 share 69% homology in the catalytic regions. However, they do not entirely overlap in function. The role of PARP-2 in cardiovascular diseases, especially in DOX-induced cardiomyocyte aging, is less studied. In this study, we found for the first time that down-regulation of PARP-2 can inhibit DOX-induced cellular aging in cardiomyocytes. On the contrary, overexpression of PARP-2 can aggravate DOX-induced cardiomyocyte aging and injury. Further research showed that PARP-2 inhibited the expression and activity of SIRT1, which in turn was involved in the development of DOX-induced cardiomyocyte aging and injury. Our findings provide a preliminary experimental basis for establishing PARP-2 as a new target for preventing and treating DOX cardiomyopathy and related drug development.

Huang Y, Dai H. ATF3 affects myocardial fibrosis remodeling after myocardial infarction by regulating autophagy and its mechanism of action. Gene 2023; 885:147705. [PMID: 37572799 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2023.147705] [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: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Myocardial fibrosis remodeling is a key event in the development of heart anomalousness and dysfunction after myocardial infarction (MI). The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) on myocardial fibrosis remodeling after MI and its underlying mechanism, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical development of new strategies for MI treatment. METHODS MI mouse formers were structured by hypodesmus of the left anterior descending (LAD) arteria coronaria of mice, and primary cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) were separated and cultivated to investigate the effect of ATF3 on myocardial fibrosis after MI and its mechanism. RESULTS Increased collagen content and autophagic flux were found in the left ventricle (LV) tissues of MI mice as shown by Sirius red staining and Western blotting (WB) analysis. Meanwhile, immunofluorescence staining and WB analysis showed that ATF3 was raised in response to MI damage. After remedy with angiotensin II (AngII), the activity and differentiation of CFs were significantly raised, the expression of collagens was increased, and the level of autophagy was notably increased. Furthermore, AngII stimulation remarkably raised the expression of ATF3. Interestingly, knockdown of ATF3 in AngII-CFs reversed the above changes. In addition, after intervention with 3-methyladenine (3-MA), an autophagy restrainer, the activity and differentiation of AngII-CFs, as well as the relative collagen levels and autophagic flux were reduced. However, up-regulation of ATF3 protein expression partially reversed the effect of 3-MA on AngII-CFs. CONCLUSION ATF3 can regulate the proliferation of CFs and collagen production by affecting autophagy, thus affecting myocardial fibrosis remodeling after MI.

Abstract
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is the most extensively studied member of the PARP superfamily, with its primary function being the facilitation of DNA damage repair processes. Parthanatos is a type of regulated cell death cascade initiated by PARP-1 hyperactivation, which involves multiple subroutines, including the accumulation of ADP-ribose polymers (PAR), binding of PAR and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), release of AIF from the mitochondria, the translocation of the AIF/macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) complex, and massive MIF-mediated DNA fragmentation. Over the past few decades, the role of PARP-1 in central nervous system health and disease has received increasing attention. In this review, we discuss the biological functions of PARP-1 in neural cell proliferation and differentiation, memory formation, brain ageing, and epigenetic regulation. We then elaborate on the involvement of PARP-1 and PARP-1-dependant parthanatos in various neuropathological processes, such as oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, excitotoxicity, autophagy damage, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Additional highlight contains PARP-1's implications in the initiation, progression, and therapeutic opportunities for different neurological illnesses, including neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), multiple sclerosis (MS), epilepsy, and neuropathic pain (NP). Finally, emerging insights into the repurposing of PARP inhibitors for the management of neurological diseases are provided. This review aims to summarize the exciting advancements in the critical role of PARP-1 in neurological disorders, which may open new avenues for therapeutic options targeting PARP-1 or parthanatos.

Abstract
Autophagy, a dynamic and complex process responsible for the clearance of damaged cellular components, plays a crucial role in maintaining myocardial homeostasis. In the context of heart failure, autophagy has been recognized as a response mechanism aimed at counteracting pathogenic processes and promoting cellular health. Its relevance has been underscored not only in various animal models, but also in the human heart. Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to understanding the significance of autophagy and unravelling its complex molecular mechanisms. This review aims to consolidate the current knowledge of the involvement of autophagy during the progression of heart failure. Specifically, we provide a comprehensive overview of published data on the impact of autophagy deregulation achieved by genetic modifications or by pharmacological interventions in ischemic and non-ischemic models of heart failure. Furthermore, we delve into the intricate molecular mechanisms through which autophagy regulates crucial cellular processes within the three predominant cell populations of the heart: cardiomyocytes, cardiac fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. Finally, we emphasize the need for future research to unravel the therapeutic potential associated with targeting autophagy in the management of heart failure.

Abstract
The authors show that increased poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) and pyruvate kinase muscle isozyme 2 (PKM2) expression is a common feature of a decompensated right ventricle in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and animal models. The authors find in vitro that overactivated PARP1 promotes cardiomyocyte dysfunction by favoring PKM2 expression and nuclear function, glycolytic gene expression, activation of nuclear factor κB-dependent proinflammatory factors. Pharmacologic and genetic inhibition of PARP1 or enforced tetramerization of PKM2 attenuates maladaptive remodeling improving right ventricular (RV) function in multiple rodent models. Taken together, these data implicate the PARP1/PKM2 axis as a critical driver of maladaptive RV remodeling and a new promising target to directly sustain RV function in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) arise from a complex interplay among genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic abnormalities. Emerging evidence has recently consolidated the presence of robust DNA damage in a variety of cardiovascular disorders. DNA damage triggers a series of cellular responses termed DNA damage response (DDR) including detection of DNA lesions, cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, cellular senescence, and apoptosis, in all organ systems including hearts and vasculature. Although transient DDR in response to temporary DNA damage can be beneficial for cardiovascular function, persistent activation of DDR promotes the onset and development of CVDs. Moreover, therapeutic interventions that target DNA damage and DDR have the potential to attenuate cardiovascular dysfunction and improve disease outcome. In this review, we will discuss molecular mechanisms of DNA damage and repair in the onset and development of CVDs, and explore how DDR in specific cardiac cell types contributes to CVDs. Moreover, we will highlight the latest advances regarding the potential therapeutic strategies targeting DNA damage signalling in CVDs.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a central metabolite involved in energy and redox homeostasis as well as in DNA repair and protein deacetylation reactions. Pharmacological or genetic inhibition of NAD+-degrading enzymes, external supplementation of NAD+ precursors, and transgenic overexpression of NAD+-generating enzymes have wide positive effects on metabolic health and age-associated diseases. NAD+ pools tend to decline with normal aging, obesity, and hypertension, which are all major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and NAD+ replenishment extends healthspan, avoids metabolic syndrome, and reduces blood pressure in preclinical models. In addition, experimental elevation of NAD+ improves atherosclerosis, ischemic, diabetic, arrhythmogenic, hypertrophic, or dilated cardiomyopathies, as well as different modalities of heart failure. Here, we critically discuss cardiomyocyte-specific circuitries of NAD+ metabolism, comparatively evaluate distinct NAD+ precursors for their preclinical efficacy, and raise outstanding questions on the optimal design of clinical trials in which NAD+ replenishment or supraphysiological NAD+ elevations are assessed for the prevention or treatment of major cardiac diseases. We surmise that patients with hitherto intractable cardiac diseases such as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction may profit from the administration of NAD+ precursors. The development of such NAD+-centered treatments will rely on technological and conceptual progress on the fine regulation of NAD+ metabolism.

Abstract
Background Autophagy, a stress response in eukaryotic cells, is closely related to cardiogenic diseases. Pyroptosis, a newly discovered way of programmed cell death, also plays an important role in cardiovascular disease. However, the role and relationship of autophagy and pyroptosis in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response of cardiomyocytes were still unclear. Methods Western blot was performed to determine the expression of poly ADP-ribosepolmesera-1 (PARP-1), LC3B, NLRP3 and GSDMD in cardiomyocytes after the treatment of LPS. Transfection of si-LC3B, western blot and immunofluorescence (IF) staining were performed to investigate the role of autophagy in LPS-induced pyroptosis. Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assays and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) were conducted to explore whether PARP-1 binding to LC3B and modulating its expression. Transfections of si-PARP-1, western blot and IF were carried out to confirm the role of PARP-1 in the regulation of LPS-induced pyroptosis by autophagy. Results LPS induces autophagy and pyroptosis in cardiomyocytes, enhanced the level of autophagy and inhibited the level of pyroptosis in the concentration of 4 µg/mL. We further proved that autophagy inhibits LPS-induced pyroptosis in cardiomyocytes. In addition, PARP-1 binding to LC3B and regulate the expression of LC3B. Finally, we proved that knockdown of PARP-1 rescued the inhibition of autophagy on LPS-induced pyroptosis of cardiomyocytes. Conclusions LPS induces pyroptosis through regulation of autophagy via PARP-1 at a specific concentration, above which it causes deposition of autophagy flow to promote pyroptosis. Inhibiting LPS-induced pyroptosis could be a promising therapeutic target in treating cardiovascular diseases.

[PMID: 34692783 PMCID: PMC8531249 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.732076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aims to systematically reveal the changes in protein levels induced by regular exercise in mice with ischemic-induced heart failure (HF). Aerobic exercise training for the ischemic-induced HF mice lasted for 4 weeks and then we used the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method to identify and quantify the protein profile in the myocardium of mice. As a whole, 1,304 proteins (597 proteins up-regulated; 707 proteins down-regulated) were differentially expressed between the exercise group and the sedentary group, including numerous proteins related to energy metabolism. The significant alteration of the component (E1 component subunit alpha and subunit beta) and the activity-regulating enzyme (pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 2 and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4) of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 3, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(+)-consuming enzymes, was further verified in targeted analysis. Generally, this proteomics profiling furnishes a systematic insight of the influence of aerobic exercise on HF.

Abstract
High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is characterized by a complex and dynamic tumor microenvironment (TME) composed of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), immune cells, endothelial cells, and adipocytes. Although most approved therapies target cancer cells, a growing body of evidence suggests that chemotherapeutic agents have an important role in regulating the biology of the diverse cells that compose the TME. Understanding how non-transformed cells respond and adapt to established therapeutics is necessary to completely comprehend their action and develop novel therapeutics that interrupt undesired tumor-stroma interactions. Here, we review the effects of chemotherapeutic agents on normal cellular components of the host-derived TME focusing on CAFs. We concentrate on therapies used in the treatment of HGSOC and synthesize findings from studies focusing on other cancer types and benign tissues. Agents such as platinum derivatives, taxanes, and PARP inhibitors broadly affect the TME and promote or inhibit the pro-tumorigenic roles of CAFs by modifying the bidirectional cross-talk between tumor and stromal cells in the tumor organ. While most chemotherapy research focuses on cancer cells, these studies emphasize the need to consider all cell types within the tumor organ when evaluating chemotherapeutics.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury (MIRI), characterized by post-ischemic cardiomyocytes death and reperfusion myocardial damage, is a lethal yet unresolved complication in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Previous studies have demonstrated that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) participates in the progression of various cardiovascular diseases, and various reports have proved that PARP1 can be a therapeutic target in these diseases, but whether it plays a role in MIRI is still unknown. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to explore the role and mechanism of PARP1 in the development of MIRI. Firstly, we demonstrated that PARP1 was activated during MIRI-induced myocardial autophagy in vitro. Moreover, PARP1 inhibition protected cardiomyocytes from MIRI through the inhibition of autophagy. Next, we discovered that specificity protein1 (Sp1), as a transcription factor of PARP1, regulates its target gene PARP1 through binding to its target gene promoter during transcription. Furthermore, silencing Sp1 protected cardiomyocytes from MIRI via the inhibition of PARP1. Finally, the functions and mechanisms of PARP1 in the development of MIRI were also verified in vivo with SD rats model. Based on these findings, we concluded that PARP1 inhibition protects cardiomyocytes from MIRI through the inhibition of autophagy, which is targeted by Sp1 suppression. Therefore, the utilization of PARP1 exhibits great therapeutic potential for MIRI treatment in future.

Abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a conserved catabolic recycling pathway in which cytoplasmic components are sequestered, degraded, and recycled to survive various stress conditions. Autophagy dysregulation has been observed and linked with the development and progression of several pathologies, including cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death in the developed world. In this review, we aim to provide a broad understanding of the different molecular factors that govern autophagy regulation and how these mechanisms are involved in the development of specific cardiovascular pathologies, including ischemic and reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac remodeling, and heart failure.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is an abundant cofactor that plays crucial roles in several cellular processes. NAD can be synthesized de novo starting with tryptophan, or from salvage pathways starting with NAD precursors like nicotinic acid (NA), nicotinamide (NAM) or nicotinamide riboside (NR), referred to as niacin/B3 vitamins, arising from dietary supply or from cellular NAD catabolism. Given the interconversion between its oxidized (NAD+ ) and reduced form (NADH), NAD participates in a wide range of reactions: regulation of cellular redox status, energy metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis. Plus, NAD acts as a signalling molecule, being a cosubstrate for several enzymes such as sirtuins, poly-ADP-ribose-polymerases (PARPs) and some ectoenzymes like CD38, regulating critical biological processes like gene expression, DNA repair, calcium signalling and circadian rhythms. Given the large number of mitochondria present in cardiac tissue, the heart has the highest NAD levels and is one of the most metabolically demanding organs. In several models of heart failure, myocardial NAD levels are depressed and this depression is caused by mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic remodelling and inflammation. Emerging evidence suggests that regulating NAD homeostasis by NAD precursor supplementation has therapeutic efficiency in improving myocardial bioenergetics and function. This review provides an overview of the latest understanding of the different NAD biosynthesis pathways, as well as its role as a signalling molecule particularly in cardiac tissue. We highlight the significance of preserving NAD equilibrium in various models of heart diseases and shed light on the potential pharmacological interventions aiming to use NAD boosters as therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Fibrosis occurs in most human organs including the liver, lung, heart and kidney, and is crucial for the progression of most chronic diseases. As an indispensable catabolic process for intracellular quality control and homeostasis, autophagy occurs in most mammalian cells and is implicated in many biological processes including fibrogenesis. Although advances have been made in understanding autophagy process, the potential role of autophagy in fibrotic diseases remains controversial and has recently attracted a great deal of attention. In the current review, we summarize the commonalities of autophagy affecting different types of fibrosis in different organs, including the liver, lung, heart, and kidney as well as in cystic fibrosis, systematically outline the contradictory results and highlight the distinct role of autophagy during the various stages of fibrosis. In summary, the exact role autophagy plays in fibrogenesis depends on specific cell types and different stimuli, and identifying and evaluating the pathogenic contribution of autophagy in fibrogenesis will promote the discovery of novel therapeutic strategies for the clinical management of these fibrotic diseases.

Abstract
The conceptual evolution of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) from being seen as a simple metabolic cofactor to a pivotal cosubstrate for proteins regulating metabolism and longevity, including the sirtuin family of protein deacylases, has led to a new wave of scientific interest in NAD+. NAD+ levels decline during ageing, and alterations in NAD+ homeostasis can be found in virtually all age-related diseases, including neurodegeneration, diabetes and cancer. In preclinical settings, various strategies to increase NAD+ levels have shown beneficial effects, thus starting a competitive race to discover marketable NAD+ boosters to improve healthspan and lifespan. Here, we review the basics of NAD+ biochemistry and metabolism, and its roles in health and disease, and we discuss current challenges and the future translational potential of NAD+ research.

Abstract
Excess activation of cardiac fibroblasts inevitably induces cardiac fibrosis. Emodin has been used as a natural medicine against several chronic diseases. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of emodin on cardiac fibrosis and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Intragastric administration of emodin markedly decreased left ventricular wall thickness in a mouse model of pathological cardiac hypertrophy with excess fibrosis induced by transaortic constriction (TAC) and suppressed activation of cardiac fibroblasts induced by angiotensin II (AngII). Emodin upregulated expression of metastasis associated protein 3 (MTA3) and restored the MTA3 expression in the setting of cardiac fibrosis. Moreover, overexpression of MTA3 promoted cardiac fibrosis; in contrast, silence of MTA3 abrogated the inhibitory effect of emodin on fibroblast activation. Our findings unraveled the potential of emodin to alleviate cardiac fibrosis via upregulating MTA3 and highlight the regulatory role of MTA3 in the development of cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
Objective: Inactivation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) has been found to have protective effect in several fibrotic diseases. But the effect is not studied yet in keloids. Herein, we evaluated the therapeutic effect of PARP1 inhibitor, rucaparib, for keloids. Approach: The protein expressions of PARP1 and smad3 were evaluated with western blotting in keloids and controls. The effect of rucaparib was evaluated using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and migration assay. We further analyzed the effect of rucaparib on patient-derived keloid xenograft murine model. Results: The protein expressions of PARP1 and smad3 were significantly higher in keloid tissue. Rucaparib (20 μM) significantly suppressed the proliferation of keloid fibroblasts. Moreover, the combination of rucaparib (20 μM) and triamcinolone (50 μM) showed additive suppressive effect on keloid fibroblasts. Migration assay showed that rucaparib (10 μM) significantly suppressed the migration of keloid fibroblasts. Fibrosis markers in keloid fibroblasts significantly decreased after rucaparib treatment (20 μM). In patient-derived keloid xenograft model, rucaparib significantly reduced the size of keloid tissue. Innovation and Conclusion: The study data suggest PARP1 might be a novel therapeutic target for keloid disease. PARP1 inhibitor, rucaparib, might be a promising therapeutic drug for the treatment of keloid disease.

Is there a role for autophagy in ascending aortopathy associated with tricuspid or bicuspid aortic valve? Clin Sci (Lond) 2019; 133:805-819.

Abstract
Autophagy is a conserved process by which cytoplasmatic elements are sequestered in vesicles and degraded after their fusion with lysosomes, thus recycling the precursor molecules. The autophagy-mediated removal of redundant/harmful/damaged organelles and biomolecules plays not only a replenishing function, but protects against stressful conditions through an adaptive mechanism. Autophagy, known to play a role in several pathological conditions, is now gaining increasing attention also in the perspective of the identification of the pathogenetic mechanisms at the basis of ascending thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), a localized or diffused dilatation of the aorta with an abnormal widening greater than 50 percent of the vessel's normal diameter. TAA is less frequent than abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), but is encountered with a higher percentage in patients with congenital heart disease or known genetic syndromes. Several biological aspects of TAA pathophysiology remain to be elucitated and therapeutic needs are still widely unmet. One of the most controversial and epidemiologically important forms of TAA is that associated with the congenital bicuspid malformation of the aortic valve (BAV). Dysregulated autophagy in response, for example, to wall shear stress alterations, has been demonstrated to affect the phenotype of vascular cells relevant to aortopathy, with potential consequences on signaling, remodeling, and angiogenesis. The most recent findings and hypotheses concerning the multiple aspects of autophagy and of its dysregulation are summarized, both in general and in the context of the different vascular cell types and of TAA progression, with particular reference to BAV-related aortopathy.
