[PMID: 38479189 DOI: 10.1016/j.tice.2024.102341] [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: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/17/2024]
Abstract
Cigarette smoke extract (CSE) is known as a significant contributor to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Propofol, an anesthetic agent, has been studied for its potential protective effects against lung damage. This study aimed to elucidate the protective mechanisms of propofol against CSE-induced damage in human bronchial epithelial 16HBE cells. In CSE-induced 16HBE cells treated by propofol with or without transfection of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) interference plasmids, CCK-8 assay and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay evaluated cytotoxicity. TUNEL assay and Western blot appraised cell apoptosis. ELISA and relevant assay kits severally measured inflammatory and oxidative stress levels. DCFH-DA fluorescent probe detected intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity. Immunofluorescence staining and Western blot estimated pyroptosis. Also, Western blot analyzed the expression of Nrf2/NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) signaling-related proteins. Propofol was found to enhance the viability, reduce LDH release, and alleviate the apoptosis, inflammatory response, oxidative stress and pyroptosis in CSE-induced 16HBE cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Meanwhile, propofol decreased NLRP3 expression while raised Nrf2 expression. Further, after Nrf2 was silenced, the impacts of propofol on Nrf2/NLRP3 signaling, LDH release, apoptosis, inflammatory response, oxidative stress and pyroptosis in CSE-exposed 16HBE cells were eliminated. Conclusively, propofol may exert protective effects against CSE-induced damage in 16HBE cells, partly through the modulation of the Nrf2/NLRP3 signaling pathway, suggesting a potential therapeutic role for propofol in CSE-induced bronchial epithelial cell damage.

Construction of preclinical evidence for propofol in the treatment of reperfusion injury after acute myocardial infarction: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 174:116629. [PMID: 38640712 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116629] [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: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 04/04/2024] [Accepted: 04/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Propofol, a commonly used intravenous anesthetic, has demonstrated potential in protecting against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) based on preclinical animal studies. However, the clinical benefits of propofol in this context are subject to debate. We conducted a systematic search across eight databases to identify all relevant animal studies investigating the preventive effects of propofol on MIRI until October 30, 2023. We assessed the methodological quality of the included studies using SYRCLE's bias risk tool. Statistical analysis was performed using STATA 15.1. The primary outcome measures analyzed in this study were myocardial infarct size (IS) and myocardial injury biomarkers. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of 48 relevant animal studies investigating propofol's preventive effects on MIRI. Propofol administration demonstrated a reduction in myocardial IS and decreased levels of myocardial injury biomarkers (CK-MB, LDH, cTnI). Moreover, propofol improved myocardial function parameters (+dp/dtmax, -dP/dtmax, LVEF, LVFS), exhibited favorable effects on inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-α) and oxidative stress markers (SOD, MDA), and reduced myocardial cell apoptotic index (AI). These findings suggest propofol exerts cardioprotective effects by reducing myocardial injury, decreasing infarct size, and improving heart function. However, the absence of animal models that accurately represent comorbidities such as aging and hypertension, as well as inconsistent administration methods that align with clinical practice, may hinder its clinical translation. Further robust investigations are required to validate these findings, elucidate the underlying mechanisms of propofol, and facilitate its potential translation into clinical practice.

Mechanistic investigation of the ameliorative effect of liquiritin on hypoxia/reoxygenation‑induced cardiomyocyte injury based on network pharmacology and in vitro validation. Exp Ther Med 2024; 27:117. [PMID: 38361515 PMCID: PMC10867724 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2024.12405] [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: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Liquiritin (LIQ) is a flavonoid known for its cardioprotective properties, extracted from Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the protective mechanism of LIQ against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury through in vitro experiments, with the goal of enhancing its pharmacological effects. Initially, network pharmacology was employed to explore the targets and mechanisms of LIQ. Subsequently, an in vitro H/R model was established using H9c2 cells. Potential targets for LIQ and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) were identified through online databases. The STRING, Cytoscape and DAVID databases were used to extract intersecting targets and mechanisms. In vitro experiments were conducted to validate these findings, assessing cardiac enzymes, oxidative stress indicators, mitochondrial fluorescence, apoptotic fluorescence, inflammation and related protein expression. The network pharmacological analysis revealed that the protective effects of LIQ on MIRI involve oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis. The results of in vitro experimental validation demonstrated that LIQ significantly reduced the activities of lactated dehydrogenase and creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (P<0.05 or 0.01), as well as the level of malondialdehyde (P<0.01). It also inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species (P<0.01), the release of inflammatory factors (P<0.05 or 0.01) and apoptosis (P<0.01). By contrast, the LIQ pre-treatment group exhibited a significant increase in mitochondrial membrane potential level (P<0.05 or 0.01) and the activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase (P<0.05 or 0.01). Furthermore, LIQ reduced the protein expressions of TNF-α receptor type 1 (TNFR1) and MMP9, along with the level of NF-κB phosphorylation (P<0.05 or 0.01). In conclusion, LIQ mitigated H/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury through mechanisms that may involve antioxidants, anti-apoptotic effects, protection against mitochondrial damage and suppression of inflammatory levels. These effects are achieved via inhibition of the TNFR1/NF-κB/MMP9 pathway.

Abstract
Background Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), including inflammation caused by high-glucose and high-lipid (HGHL). Targeting inflammation may provide a useful strategy for preventing and treating DCM. Puerarin has been shown to reduce the inflammation, apoptosis and hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes induced by HGHL, in which this study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Methods H9c2 cardiomyocytes cultured with HGHL were used to establish a cell model of DCM. Puerarin was then placed to these cells for 24 hours. The effects of HGHL and puerarin on cell viability and apoptosis were investigated by the Cell Proliferation, Toxicity Assay Kit (CCK-8) and flow cytometry. Morphological changes of cardiomyocytes was observed by HE staining. CAV3 proteins in H9c2 cardiomyocytes were altered by transient transfection of CAV3 siRNA. IL-6 was detected by ELISA. The Western blot was performed to determine the CAV3, Bcl-2, Bax, pro-Caspase-3, cleaved-Caspase-3, NF-κB (p65) and p38MAPK proteins. Results Puerarin treatment reversed the cells viability, hypertrophy in morphology, inflammation (showed by p-p38 and p-p65 and IL-6) and apoptosis-related damage (showed by cleaved-Caspase-3/pro-Caspase-3/Bax, Bcl-2 and flow cytometry) of the H9c2 cardiomyocyte caused by HGHL. Puerarin treatment also restored the decrease of CAV3 proteins of the H9c2 cardiomyocyte caused by HGHL. When silenced the expression of CAV3 proteins with SiRNA, puerarin failed to decreased p-p38 and p-p65 and IL-6, and could not reversed cell viability and morphological damage. In contrast to the simple CAV3 silenced group, the CAV3 silenced with NF-κB pathway or p38MAPK pathway inhibitors, significantly downregulated the p-p38, p-p65 and IL-6. Conclusion Puerarin upregulated CAV3 protein expression in H9c2 cardiomyocytes and inhibited the NF-κB and p38MAPK pathways, thereby reducing HGHL-induced inflammation and may related to the apoptosis and hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes.

Cardiac-targeted PIASy gene silencing mediates deSUMOylation of caveolin-3 and prevents ischemia/reperfusion-induced Na v1.5 downregulation and ventricular arrhythmias. Mil Med Res 2022; 9:58. [PMID: 36229865 PMCID: PMC9563440 DOI: 10.1186/s40779-022-00415-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2021] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Abnormal myocardial Nav1.5 expression and function cause lethal ventricular arrhythmias during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Protein inhibitor of activated STAT Y (PIASy)-mediated caveolin-3 (Cav-3) SUMO modification affects Cav-3 binding to the voltage-gated sodium channel 1.5 (Nav1.5). PIASy activity is increased after myocardial I/R, but it is unclear whether this is attributable to plasma membrane Nav1.5 downregulation and ventricular arrhythmias. METHODS Using recombinant adeno-associated virus subtype 9 (AAV9), rat cardiac PIASy was silenced using intraventricular injection of PIASy short hairpin RNA (shRNA). After two weeks, rat hearts were subjected to I/R and electrocardiography was performed to assess malignant arrhythmias. Tissues from peri-infarct areas of the left ventricle were collected for molecular biological measurements. RESULTS PIASy was upregulated by I/R (P < 0.01), with increased SUMO2/3 modification of Cav-3 and reduced membrane Nav1.5 density (P < 0.01). AAV9-PIASy shRNA intraventricular injection into the rat heart downregulated PIASy after I/R, at both mRNA and protein levels (P < 0.05 vs. Scramble-shRNA + I/R group), decreased SUMO-modified Cav-3 levels, enhanced Cav-3 binding to Nav1.5, and prevented I/R-induced decrease of Nav1.5 and Cav-3 co-localization in the intercalated disc and lateral membrane. PIASy silencing in rat hearts reduced I/R-induced fatal arrhythmias, which was reflected by a modest decrease in the duration of ventricular fibrillation (VF; P < 0.05 vs. Scramble-shRNA + I/R group) and a significantly reduced arrhythmia score (P < 0.01 vs. Scramble-shRNA + I/R group). The anti-arrhythmic effects of PIASy silencing were also evidenced by decreased episodes of ventricular tachycardia (VT), sustained VT and VF, especially at the time 5-10 min after ischemia (P < 0.05 vs. Scramble-shRNA + IR group). Using in vitro human embryonic kidney 293 T (HEK293T) cells and isolated adult rat cardiomyocyte models exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R), we confirmed that increased PIASy promoted Cav-3 modification by SUMO2/3 and Nav1.5/Cav-3 dissociation after H/R. Mutation of SUMO consensus lysine sites in Cav-3 (K38R or K144R) altered the membrane expression levels of Nav1.5 and Cav-3 before and after H/R in HEK293T cells. CONCLUSIONS I/R-induced cardiac PIASy activation increased Cav-3 SUMOylation by SUMO2/3 and dysregulated Nav1.5-related ventricular arrhythmias. Cardiac-targeted PIASy silencing mediated Cav-3 deSUMOylation and partially prevented I/R-induced Nav1.5 downregulation in the plasma membrane of cardiomyocytes, and subsequent ventricular arrhythmias in rats. PIASy was identified as a potential therapeutic target for life-threatening arrhythmias in patients with ischemic heart diseases.

Abstract
Multiple pathophysiological pathways are activated during the process of myocardial injury. Various cardioprotective strategies protect the myocardium from ischemia, infarction, and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury through different targets, yet the clinical translation remains limited. Caveolae and its structure protein, caveolins, have been suggested as a bridge to transmit damage-preventing signals and mediate the protection of ultrastructure in cardiomyocytes under pathological conditions. In this review, we first briefly introduce caveolae and caveolins. Then we review the cardioprotective strategies mediated by caveolins through various pathophysiological pathways. Finally, some possible research directions are proposed to provide future experiments and clinical translation perspectives targeting caveolin based on the investigative evidence.

Abstract
AIMS Hypoxia and inflammation may lead to BDNF/TrkB dysregulation and neurological disorders. Propofol is an anesthetic with neuroprotective properties. We wondered whether and how propofol affected BDNF/TrkB pathway in hippocampal neurons and astrocytes. METHODS Primary rat hippocampal neurons and astrocytes were cultured and exposed to propofol followed by hypoxia or TNF-α treatment. The expression of BDNF and the expression/truncation/phosphorylation of TrkB were measured. The underlying mechanisms were investigated. RESULTS Hypoxia and TNF-α reduced the expression of BDNF, which was reversed by pretreatment of 25 μM propofol in hippocampal neurons. Furthermore, hypoxia and TNF-α increased the phosphorylation of ERK and phosphorylation of CREB at Ser142, while reduced the phosphorylation of CREB at Ser133, which were all reversed by 25 μM propofol and 10 μM ERK inhibitor. In addition, hypoxia or TNF-α did not affect TrkB expression, truncation, or phosphorylation in hippocampal neurons and astrocytes. However, in hippocampal neurons, 50 μM propofol induced TrkB phosphorylation, which may be mediated by p35 expression and Cdk5 activation, as suggested by the data showing that blockade of p35 or Cdk5 expression mitigated propofol-induced TrkB phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS Propofol modulated BDNF/TrkB pathway in hippocampal neurons via ERK/CREB and p35/Cdk5 under the condition of hypoxia or TNF-α exposure.

Abstract
10-Gingerol (10-Gin), an active ingredient extracted from ginger, has been reported to have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. However, 10-Gin has not been proved to offer protection against cardiomyocyte injury induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of 10-Gin against H/R-induced injury and its potential mechanisms in cardiomyocytes. A H/R injury model of H9c2 cardiomyocytes was established using 600 μmol/L CoCl2 to induce hypoxia in the cells for 24 hr and then reoxygenated for 3 hr. 10-Gin was pretreated with H9c2 cardiomyocytes for 24 hr to assess its cardiomyocyte protection. Our results showed that 10-Gin improved the viability of H9c2 cardiomyocytes in the H/R model and decreased the activities of creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and the generation of reactive oxygen species. By intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) fluorescence, we found that 10-Gin could significantly reduce the [Ca2+]i concentration. 10-Gin administration increased the activities of antioxidase and reduced malondialdehyde content and inflammatory cytokine levels. 10-Gin also reduced the apoptosis levels. Importantly, 10-Gin administration decreased the gene and protein expressions of Wnt5a and Frizzled-2. In conclusion, 10-Gin alleviates H/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury, which is associated with the antioxidation, anti-inflammation, antiapoptosis action, and reduction of [Ca2+]i overload by suppressing the Wnt5a/Frizzled-2 pathway.

Necrostatin-1 Analog DIMO Exerts Cardioprotective Effect against Ischemia Reperfusion Injury by Suppressing Necroptosis via Autophagic Pathway in Rats. Pharmacology 2021; 106:189-201. [PMID: 33621976 DOI: 10.1159/000510864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
AIM It has been reported that necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) is a specific necroptosis inhibitor that could attenuate programmed cell death induced by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This study aimed to observe the effect and mechanism of novel Nec-1 analog (Z)-5-(3,5-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-imine-1-methylimidazolin-4-1 (DIMO) on myocardial I/R injury. METHODS Male SD rats underwent I/R injury with or without different doses of DIMO (1, 2, or 4 mg/kg) treatment. Isolated neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) treatment with or without DIMO (0.1, 1, 10, or 100 μM). Myocardial infarction was measured by TTC staining. Cardiomyocyte injury was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase assay (LDH) and flow cytometry. Receptor-interacting protein 1 kinase (RIP1K) and autophagic markers were detected by co-immunoprecipitation and Western blotting analysis. Molecular docking of DIMO into the ATP binding site of RIP1K was performed using GLIDE. RESULTS DIMO at doses of 1 or 2 mg/kg improved myocardial infarct size. However, the DIMO 4 mg/kg dose was ineffective. DIMO at the dose of 0.1 μM decreased LDH leakage and the ratio of PI-positive cells followed by OGD/R treatment. I/R or OGD/R increased RIP1K expression and in its interaction with RIP3K, as well as impaired myocardial autophagic flux evidenced by an increase in LC3-II/I ratio, upregulated P62 and Beclin-1, and activated cathepsin B and L. In contrast, DIMO treatment reduced myocardial cell death and reversed the above mentioned changes in RIP1K and autophagic flux caused by I/R and OGD/R. DIMO binds to RIP1K and inhibits RIP1K expression in a homology modeling and ligand docking. CONCLUSION DIMO exerts cardioprotection against I/R- or OGD/R-induced injury, and its mechanisms may be associated with the reduction in RIP1K activation and restoration impaired autophagic flux.

A Role for Caveolin-3 in the Pathogenesis of Muscular Dystrophies. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21228736. [PMID: 33228026 PMCID: PMC7699313 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21228736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2020] [Revised: 11/16/2020] [Accepted: 11/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Caveolae are the cholesterol-rich small invaginations of the plasma membrane present in many cell types including adipocytes, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, smooth muscles, skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles. They serve as specialized platforms for many signaling molecules and regulate important cellular processes like energy metabolism, lipid metabolism, mitochondria homeostasis, and mechano-transduction. Caveolae can be internalized together with associated cargo. The caveolae-dependent endocytic pathway plays a role in the withdrawal of many plasma membrane components that can be sent for degradation or recycled back to the cell surface. Caveolae are formed by oligomerization of caveolin proteins. Caveolin-3 is a muscle-specific isoform, whose malfunction is associated with several diseases including diabetes, cancer, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular diseases. Mutations in Caveolin-3 are known to cause muscular dystrophies that are collectively called caveolinopathies. Altered expression of Caveolin-3 is also observed in Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy, which is likely a part of the pathological process leading to muscle weakness. This review summarizes the major functions of Caveolin-3 in skeletal muscles and discusses its involvement in the pathology of muscular dystrophies.

Abstract
Caveolin, a structural protein of caveolae, play roles in the regulation of endothelial function, cellular lipid homeostasis, and cardiac function by affecting the activity and biogenesis of nitric oxide, and by modulating signal transduction pathways that mediate inflammatory responses and oxidative stress. In this review, we present the role of caveolin in cardiac and vascular diseases and the relevant signaling pathways involved. Furthermore, we discuss a novel therapeutic perspective comprising crosstalk between caveolin and autophagy.

Extracellular vesicles isolated from patients undergoing remote ischemic preconditioning decrease hypoxia-evoked apoptosis of cardiomyoblasts after isoflurane but not propofol exposure. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0228948. [PMID: 32059016 PMCID: PMC7021285 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0228948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2019] [Accepted: 01/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) can evoke cardioprotection following ischemia/reperfusion and this may depend on the anesthetic used. We tested whether 1) extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from humans undergoing RIPC protect cardiomyoblasts against hypoxia-induced apoptosis and 2) this effect is altered by cardiomyoblast exposure to isoflurane or propofol. EVs were isolated before and 60 min after RIPC or Sham from ten patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery with isoflurane anesthesia and quantified by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis. Following EV-treatment for 6 hours under exposure of isoflurane or propofol, rat H9c2 cardiomyoblasts were cultured for 18 hours in normoxic or hypoxic atmospheres. Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Serum nanoparticle concentrations in patients had increased sixty minutes after RIPC compared to Sham (2.5x1011±4.9x1010 nanoparticles/ml; Sham: 1.2x1011±2.0x1010; p = 0.04). Hypoxia increased apoptosis of H9c2 cells (hypoxia: 8.4%±0.6; normoxia: 2.5%±0.1; p<0.0001). RIPC-EVs decreased H9c2 cell apoptosis compared to control (apoptotic ratio: 0.83; p = 0.0429) while Sham-EVs showed no protection (apoptotic ratio: 0.97). Prior isoflurane exposure in vitro even increased protection (RIPC-EVs/control, apoptotic ratio: 0.79; p = 0.0035; Sham-EVs/control, apoptotic ratio:1.04) while propofol (50μM) abrogated protection by RIPC-EVs (RIPC-EVs/control, Apoptotic ratio: 1.01; Sham-EVs/control, apoptotic ratio: 0.94; p = 0.602). Thus, EVs isolated from patients undergoing RIPC under isoflurane anesthesia protect H9c2 cardiomyoblasts against hypoxia-evoked apoptosis and this effect is abrogated by propofol. This supports a role of human RIPC-generated EVs in cardioprotection and underlines propofol as a possible confounder in RIPC-signaling mediated by EVs.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk of micro and macrovascular complications. During hyperglycemic conditions, endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells are exquisitely sensitive to high glucose. This high glucose-induced sustained reactive oxygen species production leads to redox imbalance, which is associated with endothelial dysfunction and vascular wall remodeling. Nrf2, a redox-regulated transcription factor plays a key role in the antioxidant response element (ARE)-mediated expression of antioxidant genes. Although accumulating data indicate the molecular mechanisms underpinning the Nrf2 regulated redox balance, understanding the influence of the Nrf2/ARE axis during hyperglycemic condition on vascular cells is paramount. This review focuses on the context-dependent role of Nrf2/ARE signaling on vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cell function during hyperglycemic conditions. This review also highlights improving the Nrf2 system in vascular tissues, which could be a potential therapeutic strategy for vascular dysfunction.

Inhibition of the proteasome preserves Mitofusin-2 and mitochondrial integrity, protecting cardiomyocytes during ischemia-reperfusion injury. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2019; 1866:165659.

Abstract
Cardiomyocyte loss is the main cause of myocardial dysfunction following an ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Mitochondrial dysfunction and altered mitochondrial network dynamics play central roles in cardiomyocyte death. Proteasome inhibition is cardioprotective in the setting of IR; however, the mechanisms underlying this protection are not well-understood. Several proteins that regulate mitochondrial dynamics and energy metabolism, including Mitofusin-2 (Mfn2), are degraded by the proteasome. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether proteasome inhibition can protect cardiomyocytes from IR damage by maintaining Mfn2 levels and preserving mitochondrial network integrity. Using ex vivo Langendorff-perfused rat hearts and in vitro neonatal rat ventricular myocytes, we showed that the proteasome inhibitor MG132 reduced IR-induced cardiomyocyte death. Moreover, MG132 preserved mitochondrial mass, prevented mitochondrial network fragmentation, and abolished IR-induced reductions in Mfn2 levels in heart tissue and cultured cardiomyocytes. Interestingly, Mfn2 overexpression also prevented cardiomyocyte death. This effect was apparently specific to Mfn2, as overexpression of Miro1, another protein implicated in mitochondrial dynamics, did not confer the same protection. Our results suggest that proteasome inhibition protects cardiomyocytes from IR damage. This effect could be partly mediated by preservation of Mfn2 and therefore mitochondrial integrity.

Abstract
Oxidative stress contributes to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, which causes cardiomyocyte death and precipitate life-threatening heart failure. Propofol has been proposed to protect cells or tissues against oxidative stress. However, the mechanisms underlying its beneficial effects are not fully elucidated. In the present study, we employed an in vitro oxidative injury model, in which rat cardiac H9c2 cells were treated with H2O2, and investigated roles of propofol against oxidative stress. Propofol treatment reduced H2O2-induced apoptotic cell death. While H2O2 induced expression of the antioxidant enzyme HO-1, propofol further increased HO-1 mRNA and protein levels. Propofol also promoted nuclear localization of Nrf2 in the presence of H2O2. Knockdown of Nrf2 using siRNA suppressed propofol-inducible Nrf2 and expression of Nrf2-downstream antioxidant enzyme. Knockdown of Nrf2 suppressed the propofol-induced cytoprotection. In addition, Nrf2 overexpression induced nuclear localization of Nrf2 and HO-1 expression. These results suggest that propofol exerts antioxidative effects by inducing nuclear localization of Nrf2 and expression of its downstream enzyme in cardiac cells. Finally, we examined the effect of propofol on cardiomyocytes using myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury models. The expression level of Nrf2 protein was increased at 15 min after reperfusion in the ischemia-reperfusion and propofol group compared with ischemia-reperfusion group in penumbra region. These results suggest that propofol protects cells or tissues from oxidative stress via Nrf2/HO-1 cascade.

Abstract
Caveolins have been recognized over the past few decades as key regulators of cell physiology. They are ubiquitously expressed and regulate a number of processes that ultimately impact efficiency of cellular processes. Though not critical to life, they are central to stress adaptation in a number of organs. The following review will focus specifically on the role of caveolin in stress adaptation in the heart, brain, and eye, three organs that are susceptible to acute and chronic stress and that show as well declining function with age. In addition, we consider some novel molecular mechanisms that may account for this stress adaptation and also offer potential to drive the future of caveolin research.
