Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:6169. [PMID: 38892356 PMCID: PMC11172652 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25116169] [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: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
An angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI), a heart failure treatment, is a combination drug made up of sacubitril, a neprilysin inhibitor, and valsartan, a vascular receptor blocker. No human or veterinary studies regarding the effect of ARNI on renal haemodynamics in the absence of cardiac or renal issues exist. Therefore, we investigated the effect of ARNI on renal haemodynamics in five healthy dogs. ARNI was administered to all five dogs at an oral dose of 20 mg/kg twice daily for 4 weeks. Renal haemodynamics were assessed on the day before ARNI administration (BL), on Day 7, and on Day 28. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) significantly increased on Day 28 compared to BL and Day 7, whereas renal plasma flow increased on Day 7 and Day 28 compared to BL. Systolic blood pressure significantly decreased between BL and Day 28. Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) concentrations increased on Day 7 compared to BL. Additionally, ANP concentrations increased on Day 28 in three of the five dogs. Different ANP concentrations were observed in the remaining two dogs. Both urine output volume and heart rate remained relatively stable and did not exhibit significant change. In conclusion, ARNI may enhance renal haemodynamics in healthy dogs. ARNI could be a valuable drug for treating both heart and kidney disease in dogs.

Protective effect of novel angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor S086 on target organ injury in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 170:115968. [PMID: 38039752 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115968] [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: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a clinical syndrome characterized by elevated systemic arterial blood pressure associated with injury to the heart, kidney, brain, and other organs. Angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNi), including angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and neprilysin inhibitors (NEPi), have been shown to be safe and effective at reducing blood pressure and alleviating development of target organ injury. This study was used to develop S086 as a novel ARNi and conducted preclinical studies in animal models to evaluate the protective effects of S086 on target organs. METHODS This study used a 14-month-old spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) model to evaluate the protective effects of S086 on the cardiovascular system and organs such as heart and kidney by blood pressure monitoring, urine and blood examination, pathological examination, and immunological index detection. RESULTS After administering S086 orally to the SHR, their blood pressure and levels of renal injury indicators such as serum creatinine and urinary microalbumin were reduced, and myocardial cell necrosis and cardiac fibrosis of the heart were significantly improved. In addition, there were also significantly improvements in the histological lesions of blood vessels and the kidneys. CONCLUSIONS The findings showed that S086 effectively reduced the blood pressure of SHR and had effects on alleviating development of heart, blood vessels and kidney.

Sacubitril/valsartan ameliorates renal tubulointerstitial injury through increasing renal plasma flow in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes with aldosterone excess. Nephrol Dial Transplant 2023; 38:2517-2527.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aldosterone has been assumed to be one of aggravating factors in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Natriuretic peptides/guanylyl cyclase-A/cGMP signalling has been shown to ameliorate aldosterone-induced renal injury in mice. Sacubitril/valsartan (SAC/VAL) is used clinically for chronic heart failure and hypertension, in part by augmenting natriuretic peptide bioavailability. The effects of SAC/VAL on renal pathophysiology including in DKD, however, have remained unclarified. METHODS Eight-week-old male db/db mice fed on a high-salt diet (HSD) were treated with vehicle or aldosterone (0.2 μg/kg/min), and divided into four groups: HSD control, ALDO (aldosterone), ALDO + VAL (valsartan), and ALDO + SAC/VAL group. After 4 weeks, they were analysed for plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels, renal histology, and haemodynamic parameters including glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by FITC-inulin and renal plasma flow (RPF) by para-amino hippuric acid. RESULTS The ALDO + SAC/VAL group showed significantly increased plasma ANP concentration and creatinine clearance, and decreased tubulointerstitial fibrosis and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin expression compared to ALDO and ALDO + VAL groups. SAC/VAL treatment increased GFR and RPF, and suppressed expression of Tgfb1, Il1b, Ccl2, and Lcn2 genes compared to the ALDO group. The percentage of tubulointerstitial fibrotic areas negatively correlated with the RPF and GFR. CONCLUSION In a mouse model of type 2 diabetes with aldosterone excess, SAC/VAL increased RPF and GFR, and ameliorated tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Furthermore, RPF negatively correlated well with tubulointerstitial injury, suggesting that the beneficial effects of SAC/VAL could be through increased renal plasma flow with enhanced natriuretic peptide bioavailability.

Abstract
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) results from complex interaction between heart and kidneys, inducing simultaneous acute or chronic dysfunction of these organs. Although its incidence rate is increasing with higher mortality in patients, effective clinical treatment drugs are currently not available. The literature suggests that renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and diuretic natriuretic peptide (NP) system run through CRS. Drugs only targeting the RAAS and NPs systems are not effective. Sacubitril/valsartan contains two agents (sacubitril and valsartan) that can regulate RAAS and NPs simultaneously. In the 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association/American Heart Failure (HF) ssociation (ACC/AHA/HFSA) guideline, sacubitril/valsartan was recommended as standard therapy for HF patients. The latest research shows that Combined levosimendan and Sacubitril/Valsartan markets are protected the heart and kidney against cardiovascular syndrome in rat. However, fewer studies have reported its therapeutic efficacy in CRS treatment, and their results are inconclusive. Therefore, based on RAAS and NPs as CRS biomarkers, this paper summarizes possible pathophysiological mechanisms and preliminary clinical application effects of sacubitril/valsartan in the prevention and treatment of CRS. This will provide a pharmacological justification for expanding sacubitril/valsartan use to the treatment of CRS.

Abstract
Heart failure is a serious threat to human health, with morbidity and mortality rates increasing despite the existence of multiple treatment options. Therefore, it is necessary to identify new therapeutic targets for this disease. Sacubitril/valsartan is a supramolecular sodium salt complex of the enkephalinase inhibitor prodrug sacubitril and the angiotensin receptor blocker valsartan. Its combined action increases endogenous natriuretic peptides while inhibiting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and exerting cardioprotective effects. Clinical evidence suggests that sacubitril/valsartan is superior to conventional renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibitor therapy for patients with reduced ejection fraction heart failure who can tolerate angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers. The therapy reduces the risk of heart failure hospitalization, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality and has a better safety and tolerability record. This review describes the potential pathophysiological mechanisms of cardiomyocyte injury amelioration by sacubitril/valsartan. We explore the protective effects of sacubitril/valsartan and outline the therapeutic value in patients with heart failure by summarizing the results of recent large clinical trials. Furthermore, a preliminary outlook shows that sacubitril/valsartan may be effective at treating other diseases, and provides some exploratory observations that lay the foundation for future studies on this drug.

Abstract
To use network pharmacology and bioinformatics technology to reveal the mechanism of persicae semen-carthami flos drug pair in the treatment of renal fibrosis (RF). Compounds in traditional Chinese medicine were obtained through the Herb database. Appropriate compounds and corresponding drug targets were screened out based on the 5 rules of Lipinski and pharmacokinetics. Screening of suitable disease miRNAs by microarray chips in the GEO database. Find differentially expressed genes by analyzing miRNAs. Protein-protein interaction analysis and enrichment analysis of therapeutic targets were performed using String database and Omicshare platform. Molecular docking via the DockThor platform. A total of 28 drug compounds and 228 drug targets were screened in this study. A total of 9 miRNAs and 6649 disease targets were obtained by GEO2R software analysis. Finally, 97 therapeutic targets were obtained. A total of 1124 Gene Ontology enrichment analysis results were obtained. Therapeutic targets play multiple roles in biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular organization. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis showed that the persicae semen-carthami flos drug pair played a role in the treatment of RF mainly through calcium signaling pathway, pathways in cancer, cAMP signaling pathway, and other pathways. Molecular docking showed that the traditional Chinese medicine compounds had good binding ability to the target. Persicae semen and carthami flos play a role in the treatment of RF through multiple targets and multiple pathways. It provides ideas and references for follow-up research and new drug development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of mortality in patients with advanced chronic kidney diseases. The predominant abnormality observed among this population is cardiac dysfunction secondary to myocardial remodelings, such as hypertrophy and fibrosis, emphasizing the need to develop potent therapies that maintain cardiac function in patients with end-stage renal disease. AIMS To identify potential compounds and their targets as treatments for cardiorenal syndrome type 4 (CRS) using molecular phenotyping and in vivo/in vitro experiments. METHODS Gene expression was assessed using bioinformatics and verified in animal experiments using 5/6 nephrectomized mice (NPM). Based on this information, a molecular phenotyping strategy was pursued to screen potential compounds. Picrosirius red staining, wheat germ agglutinin staining, Echocardiography, immunofluorescence staining, and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) were utilized to evaluate the effects of compounds on CRS in vivo. Furthermore, qPCR, immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry were applied to assess the effects of these compounds on macrophages/cardiac fibroblasts/cardiomyocytes. RNA-Seq analysis was performed to locate the targets of the selected compounds. Western blotting was performed to validate the targets and mechanisms. The reversibility of these effects was tested by overexpressing Osteopontin (OPN). RESULTS OPN expression increased more remarkably in individuals with uremia-induced cardiac dysfunction than in other cardiomyopathies. Lobetyolin (LBT) was identified in the compound screen, and it improved cardiac dysfunction and suppressed remodeling in NPM mice. Additionally, OPN modulated the effect of LBT on cardiac dysfunction in vivo and in vitro. Further experiments revealed that LBT suppressed OPN expression via the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS LBT improved CRS by inhibiting OPN expression through the JNK pathway. This study is the first to describe a cardioprotective effect of LBT and provides new insights into CRS drug discovery.

Abstract
The incidence of chronic kidney disease is escalating; cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 4 is gaining a major health concern causing significant morbidity and mortality, putting major burdens on the healthcare system. This study was designed to compare the cardioprotective effects of carvedilol versus atenolol against CRS type 4 induced by subtotal 5/6 nephrectomy in rats and to explore the underlying mechanisms. Immediately after surgery, carvedilol (20 mg/kg/day) or atenolol (20 mg/kg/day) was added to drinking water for 10 weeks. Carvedilol was more effective than atenolol in improving kidney functions, decreasing elevated blood pressures, attenuating cardiac hypertrophy, reducing serum brain natriuretic peptide, and diminished cardiac fibrous tissue deposition. However, carvedilol was equivalent to atenolol in modulating β1-adrenergic receptors (β1ARs) and cardiac diacylglycerol (DAG) signaling, but carvedilol was superior in modulating β-arrestin2, phosphatidyl inositol 4,5 bisphosphates (PIP2), and caspase 3 levels. Carvedilol has superior cardioprotective effects than atenolol in a rat model of CRS type 4. These protective effects are mediated through modulating cardiac β1ARs/β-arrestin2/PIP2/DAG as well as abating cardiac apoptotic signaling pathways (caspase3/pS473 protein kinase B (Akt)).
