Ckip-1 3'UTR alleviates prolonged sleep deprivation induced cardiac dysfunction by activating CaMKK2/AMPK/cTNI pathway. MOLECULAR BIOMEDICINE 2024; 5:23. [PMID: 38871861 PMCID: PMC11176284 DOI: 10.1186/s43556-024-00186-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Sleep deprivation (SD) has emerged as a critical concern impacting human health, leading to significant damage to the cardiovascular system. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear, and the development of targeted drugs is lagging. Here, we used mice to explore the effects of prolonged SD on cardiac structure and function. Echocardiography analysis revealed that cardiac function was significantly decreased in mice after five weeks of SD. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-q-PCR) and Masson staining analysis showed that cardiac remodeling marker gene Anp (atrial natriuretic peptide) and fibrosis were increased, Elisa assay of serum showed that the levels of creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), ANP, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and cardiac troponin T (cTn-T) were increased after SD, suggesting that cardiac remodeling and injury occurred. Transcript sequencing analysis indicated that genes involved in the regulation of calcium signaling pathway, dilated cardiomyopathy, and cardiac muscle contraction were changed after SD. Accordingly, Western blotting analysis demonstrated that the cardiac-contraction associated CaMKK2/AMPK/cTNI pathway was inhibited. Since our preliminary research has confirmed the vital role of Casein Kinase-2 -Interacting Protein-1 (CKIP-1, also known as PLEKHO1) in cardiac remodeling regulation. Here, we found the levels of the 3' untranslated region of Ckip-1 (Ckip-1 3'UTR) decreased, while the coding sequence of Ckip-1 (Ckip-1 CDS) remained unchanged after SD. Significantly, adenovirus-mediated overexpression of Ckip-1 3'UTR alleviated SD-induced cardiac dysfunction and remodeling by activating CaMKK2/AMPK/cTNI pathway, which proposed the therapeutic potential of Ckip-1 3'UTR in treating SD-induced heart disease.

Abstract
Context Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the fastest-growing diseases worldwide; however, its pathogenesis remains unclear. Complications seriously affect the quality of life of patients in the later stages of diabetes, ultimately leading to suffering. Natural small molecules are an important source of antidiabetic agents. Objective Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is an active ingredient of Astragalus mongholicus (Fisch.) Bunge. We reviewed the efficacy and mechanism of action of AS-IV in animal and cellular models of diabetes and the mechanism of action of AS-IV on diabetic complications in animal and cellular models. We also summarized the safety of AS-IV and provided ideas and rationales for its future clinical application. Methods Articles on the intervention in DM and its complications using AS-IV, such as those published in SCIENCE, PubMed, Springer, ACS, SCOPUS, and CNKI from the establishment of the database to February 2022, were reviewed. The following points were systematically summarized: dose/concentration, route of administration, potential mechanisms, and efficacy of AS-IV in animal models of DM and its complications. Results AS-IV has shown therapeutic effects in animal models of DM, such as alleviating gestational diabetes, delaying diabetic nephropathy, preventing myocardial cell apoptosis, and inhibiting vascular endothelial dysfunction; however, the potential effects of AS-IV on DM should be investigated. Conclusion AS-IV is a potential drug for the treatment of diabetes and its complications, including diabetic vascular disease, cardiomyopathy, retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and nephropathy. In addition, preclinical toxicity studies indicate that it appears to be safe, but the safe human dose limit is yet to be determined, and formal assessments of adverse drug reactions among humans need to be further investigated. However, additional formulations or structural modifications are required to improve the pharmacokinetic parameters and facilitate the clinical use of AS-IV.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common complication in patients with diabetes, and ultimately leads to heart failure. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) induced by abnormal glycolipid metabolism is a critical factor that affects the occurrence and development of DCM. Additionally, the upregulation/activation of silent information regulation 2 homolog-1 (SIRT1) has been shown to protect against DCM. Tanshinone II A (Tan IIA), the main active component of Salviae miltiorrhizae radix et rhizome (a valuable Chinese medicine), has protective effects against cardiovascular disease and diabetes. However, its role and mechanisms in diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction remain unclear. Therefore, we explored whether Tan IIA alleviates ERS-mediated DCM via SIRT1 and elucidated the underlying mechanism. The results suggested that Tan IIA alleviated the pathological changes in the hearts of diabetic mice, ameliorated the cytopathological morphology of cardiomyocytes, reduced the cell death rate, and inhibited the expression of ERS-related proteins and mRNA. The SIRT1 agonist inhibited the activities of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78). Furthermore, the opposite results under the SIRT1 inhibitor. SIRT1 knockdown was induced by siRNA-SIRT1 transfection, and the degree of GRP78 acetylation was increased. Cumulatively, Tan IIA ameliorated DCM by inhibiting ERS and upregulating SIRT1 expression.

Network-pharmacology-based research on protective effects and underlying mechanism of Shuxin decoction against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury with diabetes. World J Diabetes 2023; 14:1057-1076. [PMID: 37547579 PMCID: PMC10401449 DOI: 10.4239/wjd.v14.i7.1057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with diabetes mellitus are at higher risk of myocardial ischemia/ reperfusion injury (MI/RI). Shuxin decoction (SXT) is a proven recipe modi-fication from the classic herbal formula "Wu-tou-chi-shi-zhi-wan" according to the traditional Chinese medicine theory. It has been successfully used to alleviate secondary MI/RI in patients with diabetes mellitus in the clinical setting. However, the underlying mechanism is still unclear.
AIM To further determine the mechanism of SXT in attenuating MI/RI associated with diabetes.
METHODS This paper presents an ensemble model combining network pharmacology and biology. The Traditional Chinese Medicine System Pharmacology Database was accessed to select key components and potential targets of the SXT. In parallel, therapeutic targets associated with MI/RI in patients with diabetes were screened from various databases including Gene Expression Omnibus, DisGeNet, Genecards, Drugbank, OMIM, and PharmGKB. The potential targets of SXT and the therapeutic targets related to MI/RI in patients with diabetes were intersected and subjected to bioinformatics analysis using the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery. The major results of bioinformatics analysis were subsequently validated by animal experiments.
RESULTS According to the hypothesis derived from bioinformatics analysis, SXT could possibly ameliorate lipid metabolism disorders and exert anti-apoptotic effects in MI/RI associated with diabetes by reducing oxidized low density lipoprotein (LDL) and inhibiting the advanced glycation end products (AGE)-receptor for AGE (RAGE) signaling pathway. Subsequent animal experiments confirmed the hypothesis. The treatment with a dose of SXT (2.8 g/kg/d) resulted in a reduction in oxidized LDL, AGEs, and RAGE, and regulated the level of blood lipids. Besides, the expression of apoptosis-related proteins such as Bax and cleaved caspase 3 was down-regulated, whereas Bcl-2 expression was up-regulated. The findings indicated that SXT could inhibit myocardial apoptosis and improve cardiac function in MI/RI in diabetic rats.
CONCLUSION This study indicated the active components and underlying molecular therapeutic mechanisms of SXT in MI/RI with diabetes. Moreover, animal experiments verified that SXT could regulate the level of blood lipids, alleviate cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and improve cardiac function through the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RSV) has been shown to have a neuroprotective effect in various central nervous system disorders, although the role of RSV in diabetes-induced cognitive dysfunction is still not fully elucidated. Here, we investigated whether RSV improved diabetes-related cognitive dysfunction in vivo and in vitro. We induced a rat diabetic model with a high-fat and high-sucrose diet followed by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin and a diabetic neuron cell model by stimulation with high levels of glucose. We observed that RSV improved impairment in spatial learning and memory in the Morris water maze test (MWM) and novel object recognition test (ORT) in diabetic rats. RSV reversed the reduced miR-146a-5p and upregulated thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) and inhibited the diabetes-induced increase in interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α levels in vivo and in vitro. RSV also inhibited diabetes-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ESR) by reducing ESR-related protein expression in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, inhibition of miR-146a-5p partially abolished the protective effects of RSV in HG-treated primary neurons. Additionally, we used starBase to predict that miR-146a-5p interacts with TXNIP, which we then verified using a luciferase reporter gene assay. We further observed that miR-146a-5p regulates the mRNA and protein expression of TXNIP in vitro, indicating that the miR-146a-5p/TXNIP axis is involved in the regulation of cognitive dysfunction in a rat diabetic model. Collectively, these results demonstrate that RSV plays a neuroprotective role in diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction at least in part through regulation of the miR-146a-5p/TXNIP axis.

Abstract
Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and long-term inflammation can delay wound healing and cause tissue damage, while bacterial infection aggravates the wound environment further. It is impossible to resolve all these thorny problems simultaneously with a wound dressing that has only one function. The antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties of resveratrol (Res) have been proven. However, the effect of Res is non-selective, and high levels of Res can inhibit cell growth and promote oxidation. Res is also difficult to dissolve and possesses insufficient antibacterial properties, so its role is limited. In this study, Res was assembled via Mannich reaction into nanoparticles and functionalized by phenylboric acid, giving rise to targeting bacteria and solving the water-insoluble dilemma of Res. In comparison with Trolox, the assembled Res NPs performed better at scavenging ABTS and DPPH free radicals. Furthermore, Res NPs that targeted bacteria also showed high biocompatibility at concentrations five times higher than pure Res. The activities of Res NPs were comparable to free Res in downregulating the expression of inflammatory cytokines, and reducing intracellular excessive ROS. The gel embedded with Res NPs accelerated the formation of granulation tissue, collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization, facilitating wound healing. The present study suggests that functionalized polyphenol-based materials are preferably suited to the development of tissue engineering biomaterials.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a group of diseases with high mortality in clinic, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart valve disease, heart failure, to name a few. In the development of cardiovascular diseases, pathological cardiac remodeling is the most common cardiac pathological change, which often becomes a domino to accelerate the deterioration of the disease. Therefore, inhibiting pathological cardiac remodeling may delay the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases and provide patients with greater long-term benefits. Resveratrol is a non-flavonoid polyphenol compound. It mainly exists in grapes, berries, peanuts and red wine, and has cardiovascular protective effects, such as anti-oxidation, inhibiting inflammatory reaction, antithrombotic, dilating blood vessels, inhibiting apoptosis and delaying atherosclerosis. At present, the research of resveratrol has made rich progress. This review aims to summarize the possible mechanism of resveratrol against pathological cardiac remodeling, in order to provide some help for the in-depth exploration of the mechanism of inhibiting pathological cardiac remodeling and the development and research of drug targets.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 104:154255. [PMID: 35738116 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Revised: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC) is one of the major lethal complications in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM); however, no specific strategy for preventing or treating DC has been identified. PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the effects of β-lapachone (Lap), a natural compound that increases antioxidant activity in various tissues, on DC and explore the underlying mechanisms. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS As an in vivo model, C57BL/6 mice were fed with the high-fat diet (HF) for 10 weeks to induce type 2 DM. Mice were fed Lap with the HF or after 5 weeks of HF treatment to investigate the protective effects of Lap against DC. RESULTS In the two in vivo models, Lap decreased heart weight, increased heart function, reduced oxidative stress, and elevated mitochondrial content under the HF. In the in vitro model, palmitic acid (PA) was used to mimic the effects of an HF on the differentiated-cardiomyoblast cell line H9c2. The results demonstrated that Lap reduced PA-induced ROS production by increasing the expression of antioxidant regulators and enzymes, inhibiting inflammation, increasing mitochondrial activity, and thus reducing cell damage. Via the use of specific inhibitors and siRNA, the protective effects of Lap were determined to be mediated mainly by NQO1, Sirt1 and mitochondrial activity. CONCLUSION Heart damage in DM is usually caused by excessive oxidative stress. This study showed that Lap can protect the heart from DC by upregulating antioxidant ability and mitochondrial activity in cardiomyocytes. Lap has the potential to serve as a novel therapeutic agent for both the prevention and treatment of DC.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a unique clinical entity elicited by diabetes independent of other cardiovascular risk factors, of which the pathological mechanisms and treatment strategies remain largely undefined. This study aimed to clarify the role of unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of DCM, and to explore the effect of aqueous extract of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Carthami Flos (DH) on DCM mice. Cardiac function of DCM mice was evaluated by echocardiography, and lipid profile of left ventricular was analyzed by untargeted lipidomics. The results showed that DH significantly improved the diabetic symptoms, cardiac dyslipidemia, and systolic dysfunction of DCM mice. UPR signaling pathway was significantly down-regulated in the left ventricular of DCM mice. DH significantly up-regulated the transcriptions of key transducers in UPR signaling pathway. Conditional knockout of Xbp1 in cardiomyocyte (a key regulator in UPR signaling pathway) eliminated the protective effect of DH on cardiac systolic function of DCM mice, which suggested that UPR signaling pathway, especially the Xbp1, was required for DH protection against DCM. In conclusion, DH improved cardiac function of DCM mice, and this effect was dependent on its regulation of UPR signaling pathway.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide. High morbidity and mortality caused by DM are closely linked to its complications in multiple organs/tissues, including cardiovascular complications, diabetic nephropathy, and diabetic neuropathy. Resveratrol is a plant-derived polyphenolic compound with pleiotropic protective effects, ranging from antioxidant and anti-inflammatory to hypoglycemic effects. Recent studies strongly suggest that the consumption of resveratrol offers protection against diabetes and its cardiovascular complications. The protective effects of resveratrol involve the regulation of multiple signaling pathways, including inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation, enhancement of insulin sensitivity, induction of autophagy, regulation of lipid metabolism, promotion of GLUT4 expression, and translocation, and activation of SIRT1/AMPK signaling axis. The cardiovascular protective effects of resveratrol have been recently reviewed in the literature, but the role of resveratrol in preventing diabetes mellitus and its cardiovascular complications has not been systematically reviewed. Therefore, in this review, we summarize the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of action of resveratrol based on in vitro and in vivo studies, highlighting the therapeutic potential of resveratrol in the prevention and treatment of diabetes and its cardiovascular complications.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is one of the main public health problems at present. Although some breakthroughs have been made in the treatment of HF, the mortality rate remains very high. However, we should also pay attention to improving the quality of life of patients with HF. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of being used to treat HF. To demonstrate the clinical effects and mechanisms of TCM, we searched published clinical trial studies and basic studies. The search results showed that adjuvant therapy with TCM might benefit patients with HF, and its mechanism may be related to microvascular circulation, myocardial energy metabolism, oxidative stress, and inflammation.

Abstract
The prevalence of diabetes is continuously increasing in the recent decades. Persistent hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and the subsequent oxidative stress result in diabetic complications, primarily categorized as microvascular (nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy) and macrovascular (cardiomyopathy) complications. The complications are prevalent in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients. Polyol pathway, elevated AGE production, PKC activation and hexosamine pathway are indeed the critical pathways involved in the progression of diabetic complications. Silent information regulator 2 or SIR2 or more commonly known as sirtuins are NAD+ dependent histone deacetylase. SIRT1, a member of the sirtuin family has been extensively studied for its role in lifespan extension and needs to be explored for its beneficial effects in diabetic complications. Moreover, it is also known to regulate the activity of other proteins and transcription factors. One such substrate of SIRT1 is FOXOs transcription factor which has gained much attention as the mediator of various cellular processes such as cell cycle arrest and proliferation, DNA repair and metabolism. It has been reported that SIRT1 regulates the activity of FOXOs, whereas few recent advances also suggest a role FOXOs in governing the activity of SIRT1, which permits for a crosstalk between SIRT1 and FOXOs. Therefore, the focus of the present review is to describe and explore the interaction between SIRT1 and FOXOs, predominantly FOXO1 and FOXO3 and to understand the underlying mechanism of SIRT1-FOXOs in controlling and alleviating diabetic complications. Thus, this crosstalk suggests that SIRT1 and FOXOs may serve as potential therapeutic targets in treating diabetic complications.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy has been associated with mitochondrial damage. Mitochondria–endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact is an important determinant of mitochondrial function and ER homeostasis. We therefore investigated whether hyperglycemia can damage the mitochondria by increasing their contact with the ER in cardiomyocytes. We found that hyperglycemia induced mitochondria–ER contact in cardiomyocytes, as evidenced by the increased MMM1, MDM34, and BAP31 expressions. Interestingly, the silencing of Mfn2 reduced the cooperation between the mitochondria and the ER in cardiomyocytes. Mfn2 silencing improved cardiomyocyte viability and function under hyperglycemic conditions. Additionally, the silencing of Mfn2 markedly attenuated the release of calcium from the ER to the mitochondria, thereby preserving mitochondrial metabolism in cardiomyocytes under hyperglycemic conditions. Mfn2 silencing reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, which reduced mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in hyperglycemia-treated cardiomyocytes. Finally, Mfn2 silencing attenuated ER stress in cardiomyocytes subjected to high-glucose stress. These results demonstrate that Mfn2 promotes mitochondria–ER contact in hyperglycemia-treated cardiomyocytes. The silencing of Mfn2 sustained mitochondrial function, suppressed mitochondrial calcium overload, prevented mitochondrial apoptosis, and reduced ER stress, thereby enhancing cardiomyocyte survival under hyperglycemic conditions.

Abstract
Even in the absence of coronary artery disease and hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM) may increase the risk for heart failure development. This risk evolves from functional and structural alterations induced by diabetes in the heart, a cardiac entity termed diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM). Oxidative stress, defined as the imbalance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been increasingly proposed to contribute to the development of DbCM. There are several sources of ROS production including the mitochondria, NAD(P)H oxidase, xanthine oxidase, and uncoupled nitric oxide synthase. Overproduction of ROS in DbCM is thought to be counterbalanced by elevated antioxidant defense enzymes such as catalase and superoxide dismutase. Excess ROS in the cardiomyocyte results in further ROS production, mitochondrial DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, post-translational modifications of proteins and ultimately cell death and cardiac dysfunction. Furthermore, ROS modulates transcription factors responsible for expression of antioxidant enzymes. Lastly, evidence exists that several pharmacological agents may convey cardiovascular benefit by antioxidant mechanisms. As such, increasing our understanding of the pathways that lead to increased ROS production and impaired antioxidant defense may enable the development of therapeutic strategies against the progression of DbCM. Herein, we review the current knowledge about causes and consequences of ROS in DbCM, as well as the therapeutic potential and strategies of targeting oxidative stress in the diabetic heart.

Preventive Aspects of Early Resveratrol Supplementation in Cardiovascular and Kidney Disease of Developmental Origins. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22084210.

Abstract
The increase in the incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and kidney disease has stimulated research for strategies that could prevent, rather than just treat, both interconnected disorders. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound with pleiotropic biofunctions, has shown health benefits. Emerging epidemiological data supports that early life environmental insults are regarded as increased risks of developing CVDs and kidney disease in adulthood. Conversely, both disorders could be reversed or postponed by shifting interventions from adulthood to earlier stage by so-called reprogramming. The purpose of this review is first to highlight current epidemiological studies linking cardiovascular and renal programming to resulting CVD and kidney disease of developmental origins. This will be followed by a summary of how resveratrol could exert a positive influence on CVDs and kidney disease. This review also presents an overview of the evidence documenting resveratrol as a reprogramming agent to protect against CVD and kidney disease of developmental origins from animal studies and to outline the advances in understanding the underlying molecular mechanisms. Overall, this review reveals the need for future research to further clarify the reprogramming effects of resveratrol before clinical translation.

Abstract
Residues from wine and juice processing still contain about 70% of the phenolic compounds in grapes. These compounds are valued for having several bioactive properties that are explored in the pharmaceutical and food sectors. This paper aims to summarize the most recent advances in the use of enzymatic techniques for the recovery of bioactive compounds from GP for industrial application. For this, we analyzed scientific articles and patent applications from the last 20 years in the main indexed and patent databases. Among the most used enzymes in the recovery of bioactive compounds in wastes, cellulases, pectinases, tannases, glucoamylases, and proteases such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, are the most important. As a result, extracts are obtained with greater retrieval of compounds such as anthocyanins, gallic acid, catechins, epicatechins, and trans-resveratrol and the improvement of coloring, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and vasoprotective properties. Although the use of enzymes for the recovery of phenolics is an old strategy, the number of studies focusing on the functional characteristics and industrial applicability of the extracts obtained has been recently growing. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Phenolic compounds have acted as anti-inflammatories, antioxidants, anticarcinogens, and antimicrobials, being additives or relevant ingredients for various products in the food and pharmaceutical industry. Although there are several techniques for extracting/recovering phenolics from grape pomace, there is still no agreement on which method is ideal. In recent years, several extractions methods have been applied in seeking optimized conditions to recover phenolics from grape residues. Among them, the use of enzymes has been gaining attention for being considered a green and promising technology. The present study aims to carry out a review that would bring a new perspective to the recovery of bioactive compounds from grape residues by enzymatic techniques, with a view to industrial purpose.
