Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major contributor to increasing morbidity and mortality worldwide and seriously threatens human health and life. Cardiomyocyte death is considered the pathological basis of various CVDs, including myocardial infarction, heart failure, and aortic dissection. Multiple mechanisms, such as ferroptosis, necrosis, and apoptosis, contribute to cardiomyocyte death. Among them, ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death that plays a vital role in various physiological and pathological processes, from development and aging to immunity and CVD. The dysregulation of ferroptosis has been shown to be closely associated with CVD progression, yet its underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. In recent years, a growing amount of evidence suggests that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), particularly microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, are involved in the regulation of ferroptosis, thus affecting CVD progression. Some ncRNAs also exhibit potential value as biomarker and/or therapeutic target for patients with CVD. In this review, we systematically summarize recent findings on the underlying mechanisms of ncRNAs involved in ferroptosis regulation and their role in CVD progression. We also focus on their clinical applications as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets in CVD treatment.

The Emerging Role of Noncoding RNA Regulation of the Ferroptosis in Cardiovascular Diseases. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:3595745.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant public health issue due to its high prevalence and considerable contribution to the global disease burden. Recent studies suggest that genetic factors, including noncoding RNAs, have an important role in the progression of CVD. Noncoding RNA plays a critical role in genetic programming and gene regulation during development. Ferroptosis is a form of iron-dependent regulated cell death (RCD), which is mainly caused by increased lipid hydroperoxide and redox imbalance. Ferroptosis is essentially different from other forms of RCD in morphology and mechanism, such as apoptosis, autophagic cell death, pyroptosis, and necroptosis. Much evidence suggested ferroptosis is involved in the development of various CVDs, especially in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury, heart failure, and aortic dissection. Here, we review the latest findings based on noncoding RNA regulation of ferroptosis and its involvement in the pathogenesis of CVD and related treatments, aimed at providing insights into the impact of noncoding RNA regulation of ferroptosis for CVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs), have been extensively investigated in diseases. The upregulated expression of miR-19b-3p has been validated in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Nonetheless, it regulatory mechanism in myocardial infarction (MI) is still unclear. PURPOSE This research aimed to investigate the role and molecular regulation mechanism of miR-19b-3p in MI. METHODS QRT-PCR and western blot assays measured RNA and protein expression. Cell apoptosis were tested by flow cytometry and TUNEL assays. Cell viability was measured by trypan blue staining method. RIP and luciferase report assays examined gene interaction. The assays were performed under hypoxia condition. RESULTS MiR-19b-3p was highly expressed in myocardial cell line H9C2, primary cardiomyocytes, and tissues from MI mouse model. MiR-19b-3p inhibition suppressed the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. BC002059 could up-regulate ABHD10 through sequestering miR-19b-3p. BC002059 upregulation was observed to repress cell apoptosis. Rescue experiments demonstrated that miR-19b-3p overexpression abrogated the suppressive impact of BC002059 on the apoptosis of MI cells, and infarct size, area at risk as well as CK-MB and LDH release of MI mouse model tissues, which was further abolished via ABHD10 increment. CONCLUSION MiR-19b-3p regulated by BC002059/ABHD10 axis promotes cell apoptosis in MI, which might provide a novel perspective for MI alleviation research.

[PMID: 35174166 PMCID: PMC8841965 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.804049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) was found to play crucial roles in vascular endothelial function. However, the exact molecular mechanisms are not yet entirely clear. Recently, we found that exosomes (Exos) isolated from TMAO-treated hepatocytes (TMAO-Exos) contained a distinctive profile of miRNAs compared to those from the TMAO-free group (Control-Exos). Furthermore, TMAO-Exos could notably promote inflammation, damage vascular endothelial cells (VECs), and impair endothelium-dependent vasodilation. This study aimed to further evaluate the effects of TMAO-Exos on VECs and explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Exos were isolated from the hepatocyte culture supernatant with or without TMAO, using differential centrifugation. Then, VECs were treated with these Exos for 48 h and subjected to RNA-sequencing for detecting the changes of alternative polyadenylation (APA) and mRNA. After validation by qPCR and western blotting, the recombinant viruses were used to mediate the overexpression of C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4). The in vitro VEC function was evaluated by cell migration and tube formation, and in vivo angiogenesis was investigated in hindlimb ischemia models. Results: Exos released from hepatocytes were differentially regulated by TMAO; both could be taken up by VECs; and furthermore, TMAO-Exos significantly reduced cell migration and tube formation in vitro and impaired perfusion recovery and angiogenesis after hindlimb ischemia, by down-regulating the CXCR4 expression. However, TMAO-Exos failed to regulate the splicing events, at least in this experimental setting, which suggested that TMAO-Exos may affect CXCR4 expression via an APA-independent manner. Conclusions: Our findings revealed a novel indirect mechanism by which TMAO impaired endothelial function through stimulating hepatocytes to produce Exos that possessed distinctive activity. The crosstalk between the liver and vascular endothelial mediated by these Exos may offer a new target for restraining the harmful effects induced by TMAO.

TMAO-Activated Hepatocyte-Derived Exosomes Are Widely Distributed in Mice with Different Patterns and Promote Vascular Inflammation. Cardiol Res Pract 2022; 2022:5166302. [PMID: 35198242 PMCID: PMC8860527 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5166302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 01/14/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) has been shown to be an important player in cardiovascular disease (CVD) by promoting vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. We recently found that exosomes (Exos) released from TMAO-activated hepatocytes (TMAO-Exos) could significantly induce inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. However, understandings of how are the Exos secreted by hepatocytes, where are they distributed in vivo, and what effects will they have on vascular inflammation remain limited. The present study aimed to explore the hub genes involved in the production of TMAO-Exos and their distributions in vivo and effects on inflammation. Methods The transcriptome profiles of primary rat hepatocytes stimulated with TMAO were obtained from the GSE135856 dataset in the Gene Expression Omnibus repository, and the hub genes associated with Exos were screened and verified by qPCR. Next, Exos derived from TMAO-treated hepatocytes were isolated using differential centrifugation and given intravenously to mice. After 24 h, the distributions of DiI-labelled Exos were visualized with a fluorescence microscope, and the levels of proinflammatory genes in the aorta were detected by qPCR. Results Phgdh, Mdh2, Echs1, Rap2a, Gpd1l, and Slc3a2 were identified as hub genes that may be involved in the production of TMAO-Exos. And TMAO-Exos were found to be efficiently taken up by cardiomyocytes, hepatocytes, and endothelial cells in the aorta and gastrocnemius muscle. Furthermore, TMAO-Exos, but not control-Exos, could significantly promote the mRNA expressions of Tnf, Icam1, Sele, and Cox-2 in the aorta. Conclusions We provided clues about how TMAO may stimulate hepatocytes to produce Exos and further offered evidence that Exos secreted by TMAO-treated hepatocytes could be widely distributed in vivo and promote vascular inflammation.

Abstract
Background Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) has been proven to be a new proatherogenic compound for promoting inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. Hepatocyte-derived exosomes (Exos), including those derived from hepatocytes, play a pivotal role in the regulation of inflammation and endothelial function. As TMAO is produced in the liver, hepatocytes may be the potential target of TMAO. However, it is not yet clear whether TMAO can directly stimulate hepatocytes to produce Exos to mediate the detrimental effects of TMAO on vascular endothelial cells (VECs). Methods Hepatocytes treated with TMAO and Exos (TMAO-Exos) were isolated from the supernatant, and added to human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). The expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Cell apoptosis was evaluated using Hoechst 33342 staining and flow cytometry assay, and cell migration was assessed by scratch and transwell assay. C57BL/6 mice were treated with Exos for 24 h and the thoracic aortas were isolated, then the in vitro aortic ring bioassay was conducted to determine the changes of vasodilation. The expressions of cluster of differentiation 81, tumor susceptibility gene 101, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65, and Phospho-NF-κB p65 were detected by western blotting. The micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA) profiles of the Exos were then identified using RNA-sequencing and validated by qPCR. The miRNA-messenger RNA networks were constructed, and the biological functions of the target genes were annotated using bioinformatics methods. Results TMAO was found to stimulate hepatocytes to release Exos that could be taken up by HAECs, thus inducing inflammation and cell apoptosis, impairing cell migration, and inhibiting endothelium-dependent vasodilation. Additionally, the miRNAs such as miR-302d-3p carried by the TMAO-Exos were quite different to those in the TMAO-free group. A further analysis showed that the potential target genes for these miRNAs, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase 8, caspase 9 and BCL2-like 11, appeared to be involved with inflammation and endothelial function. Finally, we found that NF-κB signaling could be activated by TMAO-Exos. Conclusions These novel findings provide evidence that TMAO can indirectly talk to VECs by promoting hepatocytes to produce Exos that carry important genetic information.

Abstract
Abnormalities in programmed cell death (PCD) signaling cascades can be observed in the development and progression of various cardiovascular diseases, such as apoptosis, necrosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and cell death associated with autophagy. Aberrant activation of PCD pathways is a common feature leading to excessive cardiac remodeling and heart failure, involved in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases. Conversely, timely activation of PCD remodels cardiac structure and function after injury in a spatially or temporally restricted manner and corrects cardiac development similarly. As many cardiovascular diseases exhibit abnormalities in PCD pathways, drugs that can inhibit or modulate PCD may be critical in future therapeutic strategies. In this review, we briefly describe the process of various types of PCD and their roles in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases. We also discuss the interplay between different cell death signaling cascades and summarize pharmaceutical agents targeting key players in cell death signaling pathways that have progressed to clinical trials. Ultimately a better understanding of PCD involved in cardiovascular diseases may lead to new avenues for therapy.

Abstract
This study aimed to dynamically monitor myocardial cell death using 99m Tc-Duramycin single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (micro-SPECT/CT) imaging in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the anti-apoptosis effect of atorvastatin for cardioprotection. Mice were randomized into three groups: AMI group, AMI with atorvastatin treatment (T-AMI) group, and sham group. Three groups of model mice were randomly selected at day 1 (D1), day 3 (D3), and day 7 (D7) day after surgery with 99m Tc-Duramycin micro-SPECT/CT imaging. The lesion-to-normal myocardial tissue ratio (L/N) average values were 2.62 on D1, 3.89 on D3, and 1.20 on D7 for the uptake of 99m Tc-duramycin in the infarcted region in the AMI group. The sham group presented no positive imaging in myocardium, and the L/N average values were 1.09, 1.14, and 1.10 on D1, D3, and D7, respectively. Meanwhile, 99m Tc-linear-duramycin imaging showed no radioactive uptake in the infarction region. The T-AMI group imaging showed tracer uptake decreased obviously compared to the uptake in the infarcted region in AMI mice. 99m Tc-Duramycin SPECT/CT imaging allowed non-invasive monitoring of myocardial cell death in a mouse model of AMI and an assessment of atorvastatin anti-apoptosis effect for cardioprotection by in vivo molecular imaging.

Angiogenic and Antiangiogenic mechanisms of high density lipoprotein from healthy subjects and coronary artery diseases patients. Redox Biol 2020; 36:101642.

Abstract
Normal high-density lipoprotein (nHDL) in normal, healthy subjects is able to promote angiogenesis, but the mechanism remains incompletely understood. HDL from patients with coronary artery disease may undergo a variety of oxidative modifications, rendering it dysfunctional; whether the angiogenic effect is mitigated by such dysfunctional HDL (dHDL) is unknown. We hypothesized that dHDL compromises angiogenesis. The angiogenic effects of nHDL and dHDL were assessed using endothelial cell culture, endothelial sprouts from cardiac tissue from C57BL/6 mice, zebrafish model for vascular growth and a model of impaired vascular growth in hypercholesterolemic low-density lipoprotein receptor null(LDLr-/-)mice. MiRNA microarray and proteomic analyses were used to determine the mechanisms. Lipid hydroperoxides were greater in dHDL than in nHDL. While nHDL stimulated angiogenesis, dHDL attenuated these responses. Protein and miRNA profiles in endothelial cells differed between nHDL and dHDL treatments. Moreover, nHDL suppressed miR-24-3p expression to increase vinculin expression resulting in nitric oxide (NO) production, whereas dHDL delivered miR-24-3p to inhibit vinculin expression leading to superoxide anion (O2•-) generation via scavenger receptor class B type 1. Vinculin was required for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression and activation and modulated the PI3K/AKT/eNOS and ERK1/2 signaling pathways to regulate nHDL- and VEGF-induced angiogenesis. Vinculin overexpression or miR-24-3p inhibition reversed dHDL-impaired angiogenesis. The expressions of vinculin and eNOS and angiogenesis were decreased, but the expression of miR-24-3p and lipid hydroperoxides in HDL were increased in the ischemic lower limbs of hypercholesterolemic LDLr-/- mice. Overexpression of vinculin or miR-24-3p antagomir restored the impaired-angiogenesis in ischemic hypercholesterolemic LDLr-/- mice. Collectively, nHDL stimulated vinculin and eNOS expression to increase NO production by suppressing miR-24-3p to induce angiogenesis, whereas dHDL inhibited vinculin and eNOS expression to enhance O2•- generation by delivering miR-24-3p to impair angiogenesis, and that vinculin and miR-24-3p may be therapeutic targets for dHDL-impaired angiogenesis. nHDL and dHDL regulated angiogenesis differently via alterations in vinculin expression. nHDL suppressed miR-24-3p to increase vinculin expression to stimulate NO production. dHDL delivered miR-24-3p to inhibit vinculin expression to enhance O2.•- generation. Vinculin and miR-24-3p may be therapeutic targets for dHDL-impaired angiogenesis. Cell-free assay may be used to measure the oxidative levels of HDL.

Abstract
Heart failure preceded by pathological cardiac hypertrophy is a leading cause of death. Long noncoding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 1 (SNHG1) was reported to inhibit cardiomyocytes apoptosis, but the role and underlying mechanism of SNHG1 in pathological cardiac hypertrophy have not yet been understood. This study was designed to investigate the role and molecular mechanism of SNHG1 in regulating cardiac hypertrophy. We found that SNHG1 was upregulated during cardiac hypertrophy both in vivo (transverse aortic constriction treatment) and in vitro (phenylephrine [PE] treatment). SNHG1 overexpression attenuated the cardiomyocytes hypertrophy induced by PE, while SNHG1 inhibition promoted hypertrophic response of cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, SNHG1 and high-mobility group AT-hook 1 (HMGA1) were confirmed to be targets of miR-15a-5p. SNHG1 promoted HMGA1 expression by sponging miR-15a-5p, eventually attenuating cardiomyocytes hypertrophy. There data revealed a novel protective mechanism of SNHG1 in cardiomyocytes hypertrophy. Thus, targeting of SNHG1-related pathway may be therapeutically harnessed to treat cardiac hypertrophy.

Front Pharmacol 2019; 10:1217. [PMID: 31680981 PMCID: PMC6812611 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2019.01217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2019] [Accepted: 09/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Gelsemium elegans (Gardner & Champ.) Benth. (GE) has therapeutic effects for pain and malignant tumors but also has high toxicity. Its mechanism of toxicity has not yet been fully clarified, thus limiting its application. Meanwhile, evidence has shown that circRNAs are closely related to the progression of disease. However, very little is known about their expression profiles during intoxication. In this paper, circRNA/mRNA microarrays were respectively performed to detect their expression profiles in mice with acute GE intoxication versus normal controls. CircRNAs were verified by qRT-PCR in subsequent experiments. A regulation pattern of circRNA→miRNA→mRNA was deduced based on intersection analysis of circRNA/mRNA microarrays. The results revealed circRNAs (143) and mRNAs (1,921) were significantly expressed during intoxication. Most of the circRNAs were exonic, and most distributions in chromosomes were transcribed from chr1, chr2, chr7, and chr11. Furthermore, dysregulated expression of mmu-circRNA-013703 and mmu-circRNA-010022 was verified. Then a circRNA-targeted miRNA-mRNA co-expression network was constructed. The network map contained 2 circRNAs, 52 miRNAs, and 752 mRNAs. GO & KEGG analysis further predicted that mmu-circRNA-013703 and mmu-circRNA-010022 may participate in cellular survival/demise-related, neuron/synapse-related, and channel-related pathways. Based on functional modules analysis, a new network was formed, in which mmu-circRNA-013703 VS mmu-miR-361-3p linked to most mRNAs. Most of these mRNAs were known to be involved in the aforementioned functional module. This indicated that mmu-circRNA-013703 functioned as a sponge of miRNAs to regulate the more comprehensive circRNA-miRNA-mRNA co-expression network. Our approach revealed a landscape of dysregulated circRNA-miRNA-mRNA and may be valuable for the identification of new biomarkers during intoxication.
