Abstract
Background The pathological process of myocardial ischemia (MI) is very complicated. Acupuncture at PC6 has been proved to be effective against MI injury, but the mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated the mechanism that underlies the effect of acupuncture on MI through full-length transcriptome. Methods Adult male C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into control, MI, and PC6 groups. Mice in MI and PC6 group generated MI model by ligating the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. The samples were collected 5 days after acupuncture treatment. Results The results showed that treatment by acupuncture improved cardiac function, decreased myocardial infraction area, and reduced the levels of cTnT and cTnI. Based on full-length transcriptome sequencing, 5083 differential expression genes (DEGs) and 324 DEGs were identified in the MI group and PC6 group, respectively. These genes regulated by acupuncture were mainly enriched in the inflammatory response pathway. Alternative splicing (AS) is a post-transcriptional action that contributes to the diversity of protein. In all samples, 8237 AS events associated with 1994 genes were found. Some differential AS-involved genes were enriched in the pathway related to heart disease. We also identified 602 new genes, 4 of which may the novel targets of acupuncture in MI. Conclusions Our findings suggest that the effect of acupuncture on MI may be based on the multi-level regulation of the transcriptome.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to spread across the globe, with numerous clinical trials underway seeking to develop and test effective COVID-19 therapies, including remdesivir. Several ongoing studies have reported hydroxychloroquine-induced cardiotoxicity, including development of torsade de pointes (TdP). Meanwhile, human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are expected to serve as a tool for assessing drug-induced cardiotoxicity, such as TdP and contraction impairment. However, the cardiotoxicity of COVID-19 treatments has not been fully assessed using hiPSC-CMs. In the present study, we focused on drug repurposing with various modes of actions and examined the TdP risk associated with COVID-19 treatments using field potential using multi-electrode array (MEA) system and motion analysis with hiPSC-CMs. Hydroxychloroquine induced early after depolarization, while remdesivir, favipiravir, camostat and ivermectin had little effect on field potentials. We then analyzed electromechanical window (EMw), which is defined as the difference between field potential and contraction-relaxation durations. Hydroxychloroquine decreased EMw of hiPSC-CMs in a concentration-dependent manner. In contrast, other drugs have little effect. Our data suggest that hydroxychloroquine has proarrhythmic risk and other drugs have low proarrhythmic risk. Thus, hiPSC-CMs represent a useful tool for assessing the comprehensive cardiotoxicity caused by COVID-19 treatments in non-clinical settings.

Abstract
Predicting drug-induced side effects in the cardiovascular system is very important because it can lead to the discontinuation of new drugs/candidates or the withdrawal of marketed drugs. Although chronic assessment of cardiac contractility is an important issue in safety pharmacology, an in vitro evaluation system has not been fully developed. We previously developed an imaging-based contractility assay system to detect acute cardiotoxicity using human iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs). To extend the system to chronic toxicity assessment, we examined the effects of the anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) drug candidate BMS-986094, a guanosine nucleotide analogue, which was withdrawn from phase 2 clinical trials because of unexpected contractility toxicities. Additionally, we examined sofosbuvir, another nucleotide analogue inhibitor of HCV that has been approved as an anti-HCV drug. Motion imaging analysis revealed the difference in cardiotoxicity between the cardiotoxic BMS-986094 and the less toxic sofosbuvir in hiPSC-CMs, with a minimum of 4 days of treatment. In addition, we found that BMS-986094-induced contractility impairment was mediated by a decrease in calcium transient. These data suggest that chronic treatment improves the predictive power for the cardiotoxicity of anti-HCV drugs. Thus, hiPSC-CMs can be a useful tool to assess drug-induced chronic cardiotoxicity in non-clinical settings.

Abstract
Introduction: Drug-induced myocardial dysfunction is an important safety concern during drug development. Oncology compounds can cause myocardial dysfunction, leading to decreased left ventricular ejection fraction and heart failure via several mechanisms. Cardiovascular imaging has a major role in the early detection and monitoring of cardiotoxicity. Echocardiography is the method of choice because of its widespread availability, low cost, and absence of radiation exposure. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can provide better reliability, reproducibility, and accuracy in the detection of drug-induced myocardial dysfunction. In addition, it enables assessment of myocardial edema, fibrosis, and necrosis. Cardiac serologic biomarkers such as troponins and B-type natriuretic peptides are used in combination with imaging during drug development. This article provides a general overview of each imaging modality and practical guidance for early detection and monitoring of cardiotoxicity.Areas covered: Cardiovascular imaging modalities and cardiac biomarkers for monitoring of cardiac function and early detection of drug-induced myocardial dysfunction in drug development.Expert opinion: Some new drugs especially in the oncology field, can cause myocardial dysfunction. Depending on the strength of pre-clinical or clinical data, CV imaging modalities and cardiac biomarkers play an important role in the early detection and mitigation plans for such drugs during their development.

Electroacupuncture preconditioning attenuates acute myocardial ischemia injury through inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation in mice. Life Sci 2020; 248:117451. [PMID: 32088213 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2020.117451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2019] [Revised: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 02/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Electro-acupuncture pretreatment (EAP) plays a protective role in myocardial ischemia (MI) injury. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. A growing body of evidence suggests postinfarction inflammatory response directly affects the remodeling of ventricular function. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether EAP alleviates MI through NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition. MATERIALS AND METHODS We constructed an AMI model by ligating the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery after 3 days of EAP with C57BL/6 mice. Echocardiography and TTC staining were employed to evaluate cardiac function and infarct size after 24 h of ischemia. HE staining and immunohistochemistry were employed to determine inflammatory level. Then, inflammasome activation was detected by western blotting, and macrophage polarization and neutrophil infiltration were observed by flow cytometry. KEY FINDINGS Our preliminary findings showed that EAP reduced the infarct area and increased fractional shortening (FS) and ejection fraction (EF) and decreased the degree of inflammation after AMI injury. Meanwhile, EAP inhibited the expression of NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1 and IL-1β in ischemia myocardial tissue, companied by inhibiting the expression of F4/80+, CD11b+, CD206low macrophages and activated M2 macrophage, and decreasing Ly-6G+CD11b+ neutrophils in ischemia myocardial and spleen tissue. SIGNIFICANCE EAP inhibits the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, promotes M2 polarization of macrophages and reduces the recruitment of neutrophils in damaged myocardium, thereby decreases the infarct size and improves the cardiac function.
