[PMID: 39170466 PMCID: PMC11336768 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e35476] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2024] [Revised: 07/04/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The predictive value of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) in coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients is unclear. Methods This study continuously recruited STEMI patients treated with PPCI at the Chest Pain Center of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from April 2023 to December 2023. Blood samples were taken before PPCI and the level of circulating GDF-15 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the patients were divided into CMD and Control group according to angiographic microvascular resistance (AMR) (cut-off value 2.50 mmHg*s/cm). The differences in GDF-15 expression levels between the two groups were compared, and the predictive value of GDF-15 for CMD was systematically evaluated. Results A total of 134 patients, with an average age of 59.78 ± 12.69 years and 75.37 % being male, were included in this study. Multivariable logistic regression revealed a significant association between GDF-15 and CMD (adjusted OR = 2.505, 95 % CI: 1.661-3.779, P < 0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of GDF-15 for CMD was 0.782 (95 % CI: 0.704-0.861), with a sensitivity of 0.795 and specificity of 0.643 in predicting CMD in PPCI. The AUC of the GDF-15 model (Model With GDF-15) was 0.867 (95 % CI: 0.806-0.928), significantly outperforming the clinical baseline model (Model Without GDF-15) (Δ AUC = 0.079, 95 % CI: 0.020-0.138, P = 0.009). Furthermore, the net reclassification improvement (NRI) was 0.854 (95 % CI: 0.543-1.166, P < 0.001), and the integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) was 0.151 (95 % CI: 0.089-0.213, P < 0.001). Conclusions GDF-15 can serve as a biomarker for predicting the development of CMD in STEMI patients undergoing PPCI.

Anji white tea relaxes precontracted arteries, represses voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels and voltage-gated K + channels in the arterial smooth muscle cells: Comparison with green tea main component (-)-epigallocatechin gallate. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 328:117855. [PMID: 38346524 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.117855] [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: 12/09/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Tea (Camellia sinensis) is a favorite drink worldwide. Tea extracts and green tea main component (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) are recommended for various vascular diseases. Anji white tea is a very popular green tea. Its vascular effect profile, the mechanisms, and the contribution of EGCG to its integrated effect need elucidation. AIM To characterize the vasomotion effects of Anji white tea and EGCG, and to explore possible involvement of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs) and voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channels in their vasomotion effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anji white tea water soaking solution (AJWT) was prepared as daily tea-making process and concentrated to a concentration amounting to 200 mg/ml of dry tea leaves. The tension of rat arteries including aorta, coronary artery (RCA), cerebral basilar artery (CBA), intrarenal artery (IRA), intrapulmonary artery (IPA) and mesenteric artery (MA) was recorded with myographs. In arterial smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) freshly isolated from RCA, the levels of intracellular Ca2+ were measured with Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent probe fluo 4-AM, and Kv currents were recorded with patch clamp. The expressions of VGCCs and Kv channels were assayed with RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS At 0.4-12.8 mg/ml of dry tea leaves, AJWT profoundly relaxed all tested arteries precontracted with various vasoconstrictors about half with a small transient potentiation on the precontractions before the relaxation. KCl-induced precontraction was less sensitive than precontractions induced by phenylephrine (PE), U46619 and serotonin (5-HT). IPA was less sensitive to the relaxation compared with other arteries. AJWT pretreatment for 1 h, 24 h and 72 h time-dependently inhibited the contractile responses of RCAs. In sharp contrast, at equivalent concentrations according to its content in AJWT, EGCG intensified the precontractions in most small arteries, except that it induced relaxation in PE-precontracted aorta and MA, U46619-precontracted aorta and CBA. EGCG pretreatment for 1 h and 24 h did not significantly affect RCA contractile responses. In RCA ASMCs, AJWT reduced, while EGCG enhanced, intracellular Ca2+ elevation induced by depolarization which activates VGCCs. Patch clamp study showed that both AJWT and EGCG reduced Kv currents. RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that both AJWT and EGCG reduced the expressions of VGCCs and Kv channels. CONCLUSION AJWT, but not EGCG, consistently induces vasorelaxation. The vasomotion effects of either AJWT or EGCG vary with arterial beds and vasoconstrictors. Modulation of VGCCs, but not Kv channels, contributes to AJWT-induced vasorelaxation. It is suggested that Anji white tea water extract instead of EGCG may be a promising food supplement for vasospastic diseases.

[PMID: 38831183 DOI: 10.1007/s11357-024-01222-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) not only reflects an individual's capacity to perform physical activities but also encapsulates broader effects on the basic biology of aging. This review aims to summarize the evidence on the influence of CRF on overall and site-specific cancer risks. It delves into the biological mechanisms through which CRF may exert its effects, explores the clinical implications of these findings, identifies gaps in the current evidence base, and suggests directions for future research. The synthesis of findings reveals that higher CRF levels (general threshold of > 7 METs) are consistently associated with a reduced risk of a range of cancers, including head and neck, lung, breast, gastrointestinal, particularly pancreatic and colorectal, bladder, overall cancer incidence and mortality, and potentially stomach and liver, bile duct, and gall bladder cancers. These inverse associations between CRF and cancer risk do not generally differ across age groups, sex, race, or adiposity, suggesting a universal protective effect of CRF. Nonetheless, evidence linking CRF with skin, mouth and pharynx, kidney, and endometrial cancers is limited and inconclusive. Conversely, higher CRF levels may be potentially linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer and hematological malignancies, such as leukemia and myeloma, although the evidence is still not conclusive. CRF appears to play a significant role in reducing the risk of several cancers through various biological mechanisms, including inflammation reduction, immune system enhancement, hormonal regulation, and metabolic improvements. Overall, enhancing CRF through regular physical activity offers a vital, accessible strategy for reducing cancer risk and extending the health span. Future research should aim to fill the existing evidence gaps regarding specific cancers and elucidate the detailed dose-response relationships between CRF levels and cancer risk. Studies are also needed to elucidate the causal relationships and mechanistic pathways linking CRF to cancer outcomes.

Abstract
Cardiac-coronary interaction is fundamental to the function of the heart. As one of the highest metabolic organs in the body, the cardiac oxygen demand is met by blood perfusion through the coronary vasculature. The coronary vasculature is largely embedded within the myocardial tissue which is continually contracting and hence squeezing the blood vessels. The myocardium-coronary vessel interaction is two-ways and complex. Here, we review the different types of cardiac-coronary interactions with a focus on insights gained from mathematical models. Specifically, we will consider the following: (1) myocardial-vessel mechanical interaction; (2) metabolic-flow interaction and regulation; (3) perfusion-contraction matching, and (4) chronic interactions between the myocardium and coronary vasculature. We also provide a discussion of the relevant experimental and clinical studies of different types of cardiac-coronary interactions. Finally, we highlight knowledge gaps, key challenges, and limitations of existing mathematical models along with future research directions to understand the unique myocardium-coronary coupling in the heart. This article is categorized under: Cardiovascular Diseases > Computational Models Cardiovascular Diseases > Biomedical Engineering Cardiovascular Diseases > Molecular and Cellular Physiology.

Abstract
Among its many cardiovascular benefits, exercise training improves heart function and protects the heart against age-related decline, pathological stress, and injury. Here, we focus on cardiac benefits with an emphasis on more recent updates to our understanding. While the cardiomyocyte continues to play a central role as both a target and effector of exercise's benefits, there is a growing recognition of the important roles of other, noncardiomyocyte lineages and pathways, including some that lie outside the heart itself. We review what is known about mediators of exercise's benefits-both those intrinsic to the heart (at the level of cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, or vascular cells) and those that are systemic (including metabolism, inflammation, the microbiome, and aging)-highlighting what is known about the molecular mechanisms responsible.

[PMID: 38474548 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29051036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2024] [Revised: 02/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a widely expressed cation channel that plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. However, most TRPV4 drugs carry a risk of side effects. Moreover, existing screening methods are not suitable for the high-throughput screening (HTS) of drugs. In this study, a cell model and HTS method for targeting TRPV4 channel drugs were established based on a calcium-activated chloride channel protein 1 Anoctamin 1 (ANO1) and a double mutant (YFP-H148Q/I152L) of the yellow fluorescent protein (YFP). Patch-clamp experiments and fluorescence quenching kinetic experiments were used to verify that the model could sensitively detect changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration. The functionality of the TRPV4 cell model was examined through temperature variations and different concentrations of TRPV4 modulators, and the performance of the model in HTS was also evaluated. The model was able to sensitively detect changes in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration and also excelled at screening TRPV4 drugs, and the model was more suitable for HTS. We successfully constructed a drug cell screening model targeting the TRPV4 channel, which provides a tool to study the pathophysiological functions of TRPV4 in vitro.

Abstract
Background Exercise training elicits indubitable positive adaptation in microcirculation in health and disease populations. An inclusive overview of the current knowledge regarding the effects of exercise on microvascular function consolidates an in-depth understanding of microvasculature. Summary The main physiological function of microvasculature is to maintain optimal blood flow regulation to supply oxygen and nutrition during elevated physical demands in the cardiovascular system. There are several cellular and molecular alterations in resistance vessels in response to exercise intervention, an increase in nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation through the regulation of oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and ion channels in endothelial cells, thus increasing myogenic tone via voltage-gated Ca2+ channels in smooth muscle cells. Key Messages In the review, we postulate that exercise should be considered a medicine for people with diverse diseases through a comprehensive understanding of the cellular and molecular underlying mechanisms in microcirculation through exercise training.

Microvasc Res 2023; 150:104590. [PMID: 37481160 PMCID: PMC10538397 DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2023.104590] [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: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/24/2023]
Abstract
Exercise training is an effective, nonpharmacologic therapy and preventative measure for ischemic heart disease. While recent studies have examined reactive oxygen species (ROS) as mediators of exercise training-enhanced coronary blood flow, specific oxidants and their sources have yet to be fully elucidated. We investigated the hypothesis that NADPH oxidase (NOX)-derived superoxide anion would contribute to vasodilation effects in the coronary microcirculation of swine and that these effects would be impaired by chronic ischemia and rescued with exercise training. Adult Yucatan miniature swine were instrumented with an ameroid occluder around the proximal left circumflex coronary artery, resulting in a collateral-dependent myocardial region. Eight weeks post-operatively, swine were randomly assigned to either a sedentary or exercise training (treadmill run; 5 days/week for 14 weeks) protocol. Coronary arterioles were isolated from nonoccluded and collateral-dependent myocardial regions and pressure myography was performed. Exercise training resulted in enhanced endothelium-dependent dilation after occlusion. Scavenging of superoxide via the superoxide dismutase (SOD)-mimetic, tempol, attenuated dilation in both nonoccluded and collateral-dependent arterioles of exercise-trained, but not sedentary swine. NOX1/4 inhibition with GKT136901 attenuated dilation after exercise training but only in collateral-dependent arterioles. High performance liquid chromatography revealed that neither ischemia nor exercise training significantly altered basal or bradykinin-stimulated superoxide levels. Furthermore, superoxide production was not attributable to NOX isoforms nor mitochondria. Immunoblot analyses revealed significantly decreased NOX2 protein after exercise with no differences in NOX1, NOX4, p22phox, SOD proteins. Taken together, these data provide evidence that superoxide and NOX4 independently contribute to enhanced endothelium-dependent dilation following exercise training.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This randomised controlled trial (RCT) assessed the effect of a 1-year, partially supervised, physical activity (PA) intervention on a cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk score in adult survivors of childhood cancer. METHODS We included childhood cancer survivors ≥16 y at enrolment, <16 y at diagnosis and ≥5 y in remission. The intervention group was asked to perform an additional ≥2.5 h of intense physical activity/week, controls continued exercise as usual; assessments were performed at baseline, 6 months (T6) and 12 months (T12). The primary endpoint was change in a CVD risk score (average z-score of waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting glucose, inverted high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and inverted cardiorespiratory fitness) from baseline to T12. We performed intention-to-treat (ITT, primary) and 3 per protocol analyses. RESULTS We randomised 151 survivors (44% females, 30.4 ± 8.6 years). We found a significant and robust reduction of the CVD risk score in the intervention compared to the control group at T6 and T12 across all analyses; with a difference in the reduction of the CVD risk z-score of -0.18 (95% confidence interval -0.29 to -0.06, P = 0.003) at T12 in favour of the intervention group (ITT analysis). CONCLUSIONS This RCT showed that a long-term PA intervention can reduce CVD risk in long-term survivors of childhood cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02730767.

Abstract
In this article, we highlight the contributions of passive experiments that address important exercise-related questions in integrative physiology and medicine. Passive experiments differ from active experiments in that passive experiments involve limited or no active intervention to generate observations and test hypotheses. Experiments of nature and natural experiments are two types of passive experiments. Experiments of nature include research participants with rare genetic or acquired conditions that facilitate exploration of specific physiological mechanisms. In this way, experiments of nature are parallel to classical "knockout" animal models among human research participants. Natural experiments are gleaned from data sets that allow population-based questions to be addressed. An advantage of both types of passive experiments is that more extreme and/or prolonged exposures to physiological and behavioral stimuli are possible in humans. In this article, we discuss a number of key passive experiments that have generated foundational medical knowledge or mechanistic physiological insights related to exercise. Both natural experiments and experiments of nature will be essential to generate and test hypotheses about the limits of human adaptability to stressors like exercise. © 2023 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Among the most common causes of death worldwide, ischemic heart disease (IHD) is recognized to rank first. Even if atherosclerotic disease of the epicardial arteries is known as the leading cause of IHD, the presence of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA) is increasingly recognized. Notwithstanding the increasing interest, MINOCA remains a puzzling clinical entity that can be classified by distinguishing different underlying mechanisms, which can be divided into atherosclerotic and non-atherosclerotic. In particular, coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), classifiable in non-atherosclerotic mechanisms, is a leading factor for the pathophysiology and prognosis of patients with MINOCA. Genetic susceptibility may have a role in primum movens in CMD. However, few results have been obtained for understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying CMD. Future studies are essential in order to find a deeper understanding of the role of multiple genetic variants in the genesis of microcirculation dysfunction. Progress in research would allow early identification of high-risk patients and the development of pharmacological, patient-tailored strategies. The aim of this review is to revise the pathophysiology and underlying mechanisms of MINOCA, focusing on CMD and actual knowledge about genetic predisposition to it.

Exercise training rescues impaired H 2O 2-mediated vasodilation in porcine collateral-dependent coronary arterioles through enhanced K + channel activation. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2023; 324:H637-H653. [PMID: 36867445 PMCID: PMC10069968 DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00710.2022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023]
Abstract
We previously reported that exercise training drives enhanced agonist-stimulated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels and restores endothelium-dependent dilation via an increased reliance on H2O2 in arterioles isolated from ischemic porcine hearts. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that exercise training would correct impaired H2O2-mediated dilation in coronary arterioles isolated from ischemic myocardium through increases in protein kinase G (PKG) and protein kinase A (PKA) activation and subsequent colocalization with sarcolemmal K+ channels. Female adult Yucatan miniature swine were surgically instrumented with an ameroid constrictor around the proximal left circumflex coronary artery, gradually inducing a collateral-dependent vascular bed. Arterioles (∼125 µm) supplied by the left anterior descending artery served as nonoccluded control vessels. Pigs were separated into exercise (treadmill; 5 days/wk for 14 wk) and sedentary groups. Collateral-dependent arterioles isolated from sedentary pigs were significantly less sensitive to H2O2-induced dilation compared with nonoccluded arterioles, whereas exercise training reversed the impaired sensitivity. Large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BKCa) channels and 4AP-sensitive voltage-gated (Kv) channels contributed significantly to dilation in nonoccluded and collateral-dependent arterioles of exercise-trained but not sedentary pigs. Exercise training significantly increased H2O2-stimulated colocalization of BKCa channels and PKA, but not PKG, in smooth muscle cells of collateral-dependent arterioles compared with other treatment groups. Taken together, our studies suggest that with exercise training, nonoccluded and collateral-dependent coronary arterioles better use H2O2 as a vasodilator through increased coupling with BKCa and 4AP-sensitive Kv channels; changes that are mediated in part by enhanced colocalization of PKA with BKCa channels.NEW & NOTEWORTHY The current study reveals that coronary arterioles distal to stenosis display attenuated dilation responses to H2O2 that are restored with endurance exercise training. Enhanced H2O2 dilation after exercise is dependent on Kv and BKCa channels and at least in part on in colocalization of BKCa channel and PKA and independent of PKA dimerization. These findings expand our earlier studies which demonstrated that exercise training drives beneficial adaptive responses of reactive oxygen species in the microvasculature of the ischemic heart.

Abstract
Vascular aging contributes to adverse changes in organ function and is a significant indicator of major cardiac events. Endothelial cells (ECs) participate in aging-provoked coronary vascular pathology. Regular exercise is associated with preservation of arterial function with aging in humans. However, the molecular basis is not well understood. The present study was aimed to determine the effects of exercise on coronary endothelial senescence and whether mitochondrial clearance regulator FUN14 domain containing 1 (FUNDC1)-related mitophagy and mitochondrial homeostasis were involved. In mouse coronary arteries, FUNDC1 levels showed gradually decrease with age. Both FUNDC1 and mitophagy levels in cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs) were significantly reduced in aged mice and were rescued by exercise training. Exercise also alleviated CMECs senescence as evidenced by senescence associated β-galactosidase activity and aging markers, prevented endothelial abnormal cell migration, proliferation, and eNOS activation in CMECs from aged mice, and improved endothelium-dependent vasodilation of coronary artery, reduced myocardial neutrophil infiltration and inflammatory cytokines evoked by MI/R, restored angiogenesis and consequently alleviated MI/R injury in aging. Importantly, FUNDC1 deletion abolished the protective roles of exercise and FUNDC1 overexpression in ECs with adeno-associated virus (AAV) reversed endothelial senescence and prevented MI/R injury. Mechanistically, PPARγ played an important role in regulating FUNDC1 expressions in endothelium under exercise-induced laminar shear stress. In conclusion, exercise prevents endothelial senescence in coronary arteries via increasing FUNDC1 in a PPARγ-dependent manner, and subsequently protects aged mice against MI/R injury. These findings highlight FUNDC1-mediated mitophagy as potential therapeutic target that prevents endothelial senescence and myocardial vulnerability.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death and a major public health and economic burden worldwide with expectations of predicted growth in the foreseeable future. It is now recognized clinically that flow-limiting stenosis of the large coronary conduit arteries as well as microvascular dysfunction in the absence of severe stenosis can each contribute to the etiology of ischemic heart disease. The primary site of coronary vascular resistance, and control of subsequent coronary blood flow, is found in the coronary microvasculature, where small changes in radius can have profound impacts on myocardial perfusion. Basal active tone and responses to vasodilators and vasoconstrictors are paramount in the regulation of coronary blood flow and adaptations in signaling associated with ion channels are a major factor in determining alterations in vascular resistance and thereby myocardial blood flow. K+ channels are of particular importance as contributors to all aspects of the regulation of arteriole resistance and control of perfusion into the myocardium because these channels dictate membrane potential, the resultant activity of voltage-gated calcium channels, and thereby, the contractile state of smooth muscle. Evidence also suggests that K+ channels play a significant role in adaptations with cardiovascular disease states. In this review, we highlight our research examining the role of K+ channels in ischemic heart disease and adaptations with exercise training as treatment, as well as how our findings have contributed to this area of study.
