PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 129:155649. [PMID: 38653154 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155649] [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: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death and disability, with myocardial ischemia being the predominant type that poses a significant threat to humans. Reperfusion, an essential therapeutic approach, promptly reinstates blood circulation to the ischemic myocardium and stands as the most efficacious clinical method for myocardial preservation. Nevertheless, the restoration of blood flow associated with this process can potentially induce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), thereby diminishing the effectiveness of reperfusion and impacting patient prognosis. Therefore, it is of great significance to prevent and treat MIRI. PURPOSE MIRI is an important factor affecting the prognosis of patients, and there is no specific in-clinic treatment plan. In this review, we have endeavored to summarize its pathological mechanisms and therapeutic drugs to provide more powerful evidence for clinical application. METHODS A comprehensive literature review was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Medline and Google Scholar with a core focus on the pathological mechanisms and potential therapeutic drugs of MIRI. RESULTS Accumulated evidence revealed that oxidative stress, calcium overload, mitochondrial dysfunction, energy metabolism disorder, ferroptosis, inflammatory reaction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, pyroptosis and autophagy regulation have been shown to participate in the process, and that the occurrence and development of MIRI are related to plenty of signaling pathways. Currently, a range of chemical drugs, natural products, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparations have demonstrated the ability to mitigate MIRI by targeting various mechanisms. CONCLUSIONS At present, most of the research focuses on animal and cell experiments, and the regulatory mechanisms of each signaling pathway are still unclear. The translation of experimental findings into clinical practice remains incomplete, necessitating further exploration through large-scale, multi-center randomized controlled trials. Given the absence of a specific drug for MIRI, the identification of therapeutic agents to reduce myocardial ischemia is of utmost significance. For the future, it is imperative to enhance our understanding of the pathological mechanism underlying MIRI, continuously investigate and develop novel pharmaceutical agents, expedite the clinical translation of these drugs, and foster innovative approaches that integrate TCM with Western medicine. These efforts will facilitate the emergence of fresh perspectives for the clinical management of MIRI.

Abstract
Piperine, the major active substance in black pepper, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in several ischemic diseases. However, the role of piperine in hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI) and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, the mice were administered piperine (30 mg/kg) intragastric administration before surgery. After 24 h of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion, liver histopathological evaluation, serum transaminase measurements, and TUNEL analysis were performed. The infiltration of inflammatory cells and production of inflammatory mediators in the liver tissue were determined by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical staining. The protein levels of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and related proteins such as nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB), interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1), p65, and p38 were detected by western blotting. The results showed that plasma aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), hepatocyte apoptosis, oxidative stress, and inflammatory cell infiltration significantly increased in HIRI mice. Piperine pretreatment notably repaired liver function, improved the histopathology and apoptosis of liver cells, alleviated oxidative stress injury, and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration. Further analysis showed that piperine attenuated tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) production and reduced TLR4 activation and phosphorylation of IRAK1, p38, and NF-κB in HIRI. Piperine has a protective effect against HIRI through the TLR4/IRAK1/NF-κB signaling pathway and may be a safer option for future clinical treatment and prevention of ischemia-related diseases.

Abstract
Activation of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome signaling pathway is an important mechanism underlying myocardial pyroptosis and plays an important role in inflammatory damage to myocardial tissue in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as diabetic cardiomyopathy, ischemia/reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, heart failure and hypertension. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are important regulatory factors. Many Chinese medicine (CM) compounds, including their effective components, can regulate pyroptosis and exert myocardium-protecting effects. The mechanisms underlying this protection include inhibition of inflammasome protein expression, Toll-like receptor 4-NF-κB signal pathway activation, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), and mixed lineage kinase 3 expression and the regulation of silent information regulator 1. The NLRP3 protein is an important regulatory target for CVD prevention and treatment with CM. Exploring the effects of the interventions mediated by CM and the related mechanisms provides new ideas and perspectives for CVD prevention and treatment.

Abstract
The incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases, of which coronary heart disease (CHD) is a significant cardiovascular burden, are on the rise. Pyroptosis as an incipient programmed cell death mediated by inflammasomes can sense cytoplasmic contamination or interference and is typically marked by intracellular swelling, plasma membrane blistering and intense inflammatory cytokine release. As research on pyroptosis continues to progress, there is mounting evidence that pyroptosis is a vital participant in the pathophysiological basis of CHD. Atherosclerosis is the major pathophysiological basis of CHD and involves pyroptosis of endothelial cells, macrophages, vascular smooth muscle cells, and other immune cells, often in association with the release of pro-inflammatory factors. When cardiomyocytes are damaged, it will eventually lead to heart failure. Previous studies have covered that pyroptosis plays a critical role in CHD. In this review, we describe the properties of pyroptosis, summarize its contribution and related targets to diseases involving angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia in perfusion injury and heart failure, and highlight potential drugs for different heart diseases.

Abstract
As a plant-derived drug, piperine possesses therapeutic efficacy for many diseases, but its inherent low solubility and bioavailability have greatly limited its clinical use. Herein, we extracted piperine from black pepper, optimized the structure of piperine to prepare various derivatives, and then explored the anticancer activity of these derivatives. Piperine and its derivatives have high anticancer selectivity against 4T1 cells, exhibiting obvious anticancer properties even at a low concentration of 100 μg/mL. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties of piperine and its derivatives were investigated using density functional theory, demonstrating their considerable biological activity. Moreover, the chitosan-based microgels were prepared to encapsulate the hydrophobic piperine derivative with a high loading efficiency of 81.7 % to overcome the low water solubility of the piperine derivative. It is worth noting that excessive glutathione in tumor cells triggers the degradation of microgels and realizes controllable drug release of up to 72.3 %. Due to its excellent properties, chitosan-based microgels loaded with the piperine derivative can obtain good anticancer behavior of approximately 13.14 % cell viability against 4T1 cells. Therefore, the chitosan-based microgels overcome the low water solubility of the piperine derivative through encapsulation and thus further augment their delivery efficiency and cell internalization capability to realize excellent anticancer activity. This work demonstrates the enhanced anticancer efficacy of the hydrophobic plant-derived drug by means of structural optimization of piperine and chitosan-based microgels with boosted drug delivery.

Abstract
MicroRNAs are single-stranded non-coding RNAs that participate in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, it is involved in the regulation of apoptosis after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. For example, the alteration of mitochondrial structure is facilitated by MicroRNA-1 through the regulation of apoptosis-related proteins, such as Bax and Bcl-2, thereby mitigating cardiomyocyte apoptosis. MicroRNA-21 not only modulates the expression of NF-κB to suppress inflammatory signals but also activates the PI3K/AKT pathway to mitigate ischemia-reperfusion injury. Overexpression of MicroRNA-133 attenuates reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and suppressed the oxidative stress response, thereby mitigating cellular apoptosis. MicroRNA-139 modulates the extrinsic death signal of Fas, while MicroRNA-145 regulates endoplasmic reticulum calcium overload, both of which exert regulatory effects on cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Therefore, the article categorizes the molecular mechanisms based on the three classical pathways and multiple signaling pathways of apoptosis. It summarizes the targets and pathways of MicroRNA therapy for ischemia-reperfusion injury and analyzes future research directions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies proved that pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3)-induced pyroptosis plays an important role in Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). Insulin can inhibit the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, although the exact mechanism remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine whether insulin reduces NLRP3-induced pyroptosis by regulating pyruvate dehydrogenase E1alpha subunit (PDHA1) dephosphorylation during MIRI. METHODS Rat hearts were subject to 30 min global ischemia followed by 60 min reperfusion, with or without 0.5 IU/L insulin. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury was evaluated by measuring myocardial enzymes release, Cardiac hemodynamics, pathological changes, infarct size, and apoptosis rate. Cardiac aerobic glycolysis was evaluated by measuring ATP, lactic acid content, and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) activity in myocardial tissue. Recombinant adenoviral vectors for PDHA1 knockdown were constructed. Pyroptosis-related proteins were measured by Western blotting analysis, immunohistochemistry staining, and ELISA assay, respectively. RESULTS It was found that insulin significantly reduced the area of myocardial infarction, apoptosis rate, and improved cardiac hemodynamics, pathological changes, energy metabolism. Insulin inhibits pyroptosis-induced inflammation during MIRI. Subsequently, Adeno-associated virus was used to knock down cardiac PDHA1 expression. Knockdown PDHA1 not only promoted the expression of NLRP3 but also blocked the inhibitory effect of insulin on NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis in MIRI. CONCLUSIONS Results suggest that insulin protects against MIRI by regulating PDHA1 dephosphorylation, its mechanism is not only to improve myocardial energy metabolism but also to reduce the NLRP3-induced pyroptosis.

Abstract
Exosomes are cell-derived membranous structures primarily involved in the delivery of the payload to the recipient cells, and they play central roles in carcinogenesis and metastasis. Radiotherapy is a common cancer treatment that occasionally generates exosomal miRNA-associated modulation to regulate the therapeutic anticancer function and side effects. Combining radiotherapy and natural products may modulate the radioprotective and radiosensitizing responses of non-cancer and cancer cells, but there is a knowledge gap regarding the connection of this combined treatment with exosomal miRNAs and their downstream targets for radiation and exosome biogenesis. This review focuses on radioprotective natural products in terms of their impacts on exosomal miRNAs to target radiation-modulating and exosome biogenesis (secretion and assembly) genes. Several natural products have individually demonstrated radioprotective and miRNA-modulating effects. However, the impact of natural-product-modulated miRNAs on radiation response and exosome biogenesis remains unclear. In this review, by searching through PubMed/Google Scholar, available reports on potential functions that show radioprotection for non-cancer tissues and radiosensitization for cancer among these natural-product-modulated miRNAs were assessed. Next, by accessing the miRNA database (miRDB), the predicted targets of the radiation- and exosome biogenesis-modulating genes from the Gene Ontology database (MGI) were retrieved bioinformatically based on these miRNAs. Moreover, the target-centric analysis showed that several natural products share the same miRNAs and targets to regulate radiation response and exosome biogenesis. As a result, the miRNA-radiomodulation (radioprotection and radiosensitization)-exosome biogenesis axis in regard to natural-product-mediated radiotherapeutic effects is well organized. This review focuses on natural products and their regulating effects on miRNAs to assess the potential impacts of radiomodulation and exosome biogenesis for both the radiosensitization of cancer cells and the radioprotection of non-cancer cells.

Abstract
Acute myocardial ischemia is a disease with high morbidity and mortality, and re-perfusion is currently the best intervention. However, re-perfusion may lead to further myocardial injury and increase the area of myocardial infarction. The mechanism of myocardial ischemia-re-perfusion injury is complex, but with more in-depth study, it has been proved that the immune system plays an important role in the process of MIRI. Among them, the γδT cell population has received increasing attention as the main early source of IL-17A in many immune response models. Because γδT cells have the characteristics of linking innate immunity and adaptive immunity,they can rapidly produce IL-17A and produce subsequent immune killing of cardiomyocytes. It can be seen that γδT cells play an important role in MIRI. Therefore, here we review the research progress of immune response in myocardial ischemia-re-perfusion injury, the key characteristics of γδT cells and the role of rapidly produced IL-17 in myocardial ischemia-re-perfusion injury, and propose relevant treatment strategies and prospects for myocardial repair, in order to provide new ideas and methods for clinical treatment of myocardial ischemia-re-perfusion injury.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors play a significant role in the innate immune system and are also involved in the pathophysiology of many different diseases. Over the past 35 years, there have been a growing number of publications exploring the role of the orphan toll-like receptor, CD180. We therefore set out to provide a narrative review of the current evidence surrounding CD180 in both health and disease. We first explore the evidence surrounding the role of CD180 in physiology including its expression, function and signaling in antigen presenting cells (APCs) (dendritic cells, monocytes, and B cells). We particularly focus on the role of CD180 as a modulator of other TLRs including TLR2, TLR4, and TLR9. We then discuss the role of CD180 in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, as well as in hematological malignancies of B cell origin, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Based on this evidence we produce a current model for CD180 in disease and explore the potential role for CD180 as both a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target. Throughout, we highlight specific areas of research which should be addressed to further the understanding of CD180 biology and the translational potential of research into CD180 in various diseases.

Sevoflurane exerts protection against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and pyroptosis through the circular RNA PAN3/microRNA-29b-3p/stromal cell-derived factor 4 axis. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 120:110219. [PMID: 37270931 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110219] [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: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Sevoflurane is suggested to exert protective functions against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). However, the particular mechanism remains elusive. Therefore, this research explored the mechanism of sevoflurane in MIRI-induced damage and pyroptosis. METHODS Subsequent to gain-or loss-of-function assays or/and sevoflurane treatment, the MIRI model was developed in rats. Cardiac function and body and heart weight of rats were evaluated, followed by measurement of apoptosis and creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and pyroptosis-related protein levels. After loss-of-function assays or/and sevoflurane treatment in human cardiomyocytes (HCMs), the hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model was constructed. In HCMs, cell viability, apoptosis, and pyroptosis-related proteins were detected. Circular RNA PAN3 (circPAN3), microRNA (miR)-29b-3p, and stromal cell-derived factor 4 (SDF4) expression was determined in rat myocardial tissues and HCMs. Mechanistically, interactions among circPAN3, miR-29b-3p, and SDF4 were analyzed. RESULTS MIRI modeling increased miR-29b-3p expression and diminished circPAN3 and SDF4 expression in H/R-treated HCMs and MIRI rats, which was nullified by sevoflurane preconditioning. Mechanistically, circPAN3 negatively targeted miR-29b-3p to upregulate SDF4. Moreover, sevoflurane preconditioning reduced heart weight/body weight ratio, LDH, CK-MB, myocardial infarct size, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, apoptosis, and pyroptosis, while elevating the increase and decrease of left ventricular pressure (±dp/dt max) and left ventricular systolic pressure in MIRI rats. In addition, sevoflurane preconditioning augmented viability while diminishing apoptosis and pyroptosis in H/R-treated HCMs. Moreover, circPAN3 silencing or miR-29b-3p overexpression abrogated alleviatory effects of sevoflurane on myocardial injury and pyroptosis in vitro. CONCLUSION Sevoflurane treatment ameliorated myocardial injury and pyroptosis in MIRI via circPAN3/miR-29b-3p/SDF4 axis.

Abstract
Background In myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, myocardial damage is aggravated when blood perfusion is restored in myocardial infarction. Ubiquitin-specific protease 11 (USP11), a deubiquitinating enzyme, could remove the ubiquitination of substrate proteins and regulate protein stability, thereby affecting multiple pathological processes. Aims To investigate the potential function of USP11 in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and its underlying mechanisms. Study Design In vivo and in vitro experimental study. Methods The ischemia-reperfusion rat model in vivo was evolved, wherein the left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated for 30 min, followed by ligature release for 120 min. Meanwhile, H9C2 cells were brought to hypoxia for 6 h and then reoxygenated for 18 h to establish a cell hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) injury in vitro. Then, the loss-of-function experiments of USP11 were performed. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride and hematoxylin and eosin staining were performed to observe myocardial injury. The MTT assay was utilized to detect H9C2 cell viability. Pyroptosis was analyzed by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. Pyroptosis-related protein expression and TRAF3 were analyzed via Western blot. The content of inflammatory factors was examined by enzyme-linked immunoassay. Co-immunoprecipitation and ubiquitination assays were performed to analyze for USP11 interacting with TRAF3. Results USP11 was upregulated in the ischemic heart tissue. Ischemia-reperfusion and H/R injuries increased USP11 expression. USP11 loss-of-function assays showed that USP11 knockdown alleviated ischemia-reperfusion- and H/R-induced myocardial cell damage, pyroptosis, pro-inflammatory factor secretion, and IKKβ/NF-κB pathway activation. In H9C2 cells, USP11 stabilized TRAF3 by deubiquitination. Furthermore, rescue experiments revealed that TRAF3 overexpression reversed the protection of silencing USP11 on H/R-induced H9C2 cell injury. Conclusion This study confirmed that USP11 knockdown ameliorated myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by downregulating TRAF3, suggesting that USP11 silencing can be a novel target of myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Total saponins of Aralia elata (Miq.) Seem. (TSAE) have been shown to play a significant role in cardiovascular protection, anti-tumor, liver protection, anti-oxidant stress, and anti-inflammation. However, the specific mechanisms of TSAE in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) remain largely elusive. Hearts from male Wistar rats were used to establish the isolated heart MIRI model. Using a multichannel physiological recorder, the whole course heart rate (HR), left ventricular development pressure (LVDP), and maximum rise/decrease rate of left ventricular pressure (±dp/dtmax ) were recorded. 2,3,5-triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride staining observed the infarct area, while hematoxylin & eosin staining detected pathological changes in myocardial tissue. Creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, total superoxide dismutase, and malondialdehyde concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunohistochemistry, quantitative PCR, and western blot assay were used to assess the amounts of IL-18 and IL-1β, NLR family protein (NLRP3) inflammasome- and apoptosis-related proteins, respectively. Treatment with TSAE or MCC950 (NLRP3-specific inhibitor) significantly reduced the myocardial infarction area, alleviated pathological changes in myocardial tissues, enhanced LVDP and ±dp/dtmax levels, prevented myocardial oxidative damage, and inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome formation. In addition, TSAE enhanced Akt and GSK3β phosphorylation, and LY29004 co-reperfusion markedly diminished the protective role of TSAE reperfusion on cardiac function, oxidative damage, and inflammatory responses. Collectively, TSAE treatment exhibited a protective effect on I/R-triggered inflammatory responses, cell necrosis, and oxidative stress injury by stimulating PI3K/Akt signaling-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious injury that can lead to irreversible motor dysfunction. Due to its complicated pathogenic mechanism, there are no effective drug treatments. Piperine, a natural active alkaloid extracted from black pepper, has been reported to influence neurogenesis and exert a neuroprotective effect in traumatic brain injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of piperine in an SCI model. SCI was induced in mice by clamping the spinal cord with a vascular clip for 1 min. Before SCI and every 2 days post-SCI, evaluations using the Basso mouse scale and inclined plane tests were performed. On day 28 after SCI, footprint analyses, and HE/Masson staining of tissues were performed. On a postoperative Day 3, the spinal cord was harvested to assess the levels of pyroptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammation, and autophagy. Piperine enhanced functional recovery after SCI. Additionally, piperine reduced inflammation, oxidative stress, pyroptosis, and activated autophagy. However, the effects of piperine on functional recovery after SCI were reversed by autophagy inhibition. The study demonstrated that piperine facilitated functional recovery after SCI by inhibiting inflammatory, oxidative stress, and pyroptosis, mediated by the activation of autophagy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) is a detrimental process contributing to the pathological progression of coronary artery diseases. Studies indicate that miRNAs are implicated in ischemic heart disease, and ozone therapy could protect the heart from ischemic heart disease. In this study, we investigated the effect of ozone on miR-200c expression and the potential role of miR-200c in an I/R myocardial injury model. METHODS A myocardial cellular model of I/R was established to detect the expression of miR-200c. Cardiomyocytes with I/R induction were treated with ozone as a cellular model to detect miR-200 expression and investigate its functional roles. The downstream target of miR-200c was predicted with Starbase online tools and validated by dual luciferase reporter assay. The function of miR-200c/FOXO3 axis in I/R was examined by CCK-8 proliferation and apoptotic assays. RESULTS miR-200c was upregulated in primary cardiomyocytes of the I/R model. In cardiomyocyte cells, cell proliferation in the I/R group was significantly impaired, which could be partially rescued by miR-200c inhibitor or ozone treatment. Cell death detected by LDH release and apoptosis assay in the I/R model could also be inhibited by miR-200c inhibitor or ozone treatment. FOXO3 was identified as a downstream target of miR-200c, which was induced by ozone treatment and suppressed by miR-200c. Silencing FOXO3 abrogated the protective effect of ozone treatment on the I/R cell model. CONCLUSION Overall, our results suggest that ozone plays a cardio-protective role in I/R through regulating miR-200/FOXO3 axis, and indicate that targeting miR-200/FOXO3 axis could potentially alleviate I/R.

Abstract
This study was to probe the role of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) mediating the impact of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)/nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signalling pathway on myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) in rats through miR-199a-3p. The rat MI/RI model was established through ligating left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. PHC was injected preoperatively into the model rats, and injected with miR-199a-3p lentiviral vector or TLR4 antagonist (TAK-242). Next, cardiac function of rats was examined by echocardiography, and rat serum indicators, oxidative stress levels and inflammatory factors were detected. HE staining was applied to detect pathological tissue structure, TUNEL staining to detect apoptosis rate, qRCR and western blot to detect miR-199a-3p and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB expressions in rat myocardial tissues. Dual luciferase reporter experiment was conducted to confirm the relationship between miR-199a-3p and TLR4. In conclusion, PHC suppresses TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signalling pathway through miR-199a-3p, thereby improving MI/RI in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Based on pre-existing evidence, KCNQ1OT1 has been pointed out to be closely related to myocardial and cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury diseases. Herein, the objective of our study is to probe into the potential function as well as the underlying mechanism of KCNQ1OT1 on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (HIRI). METHODS Using C57BL/6 J mice and primary mouse hepatocytes were conducted to establish HIRI model in vivo and in vitro. Cell viability was examined using CCK-8 assay and EdU assay. Flow cytometric analysis was performed to evaluate the pyroptosis. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was employed to verify the interaction relationships. qRT-PCR and Western blot were adopted to analyze the mRNA and protein level. Histopathological alteration of liver tissue was evaluated by HE staining. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed to measure NLRP3 and caspase 1. RESULTS Our data revealed that KCNQ1OT1 expression was ascending in hepatic tissue of HIRI mouse. Moreover, deprivation of KCNQ1OT1 mitigated I/R-induced hepatic injury and pyroptosis in vivo. Further experiments demonstrated that silencing KCNQ1OT1 promoted proliferation and inhibited pyroptosis in hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced primary mouse hepatocytes. Mechanistically, KCNQ1OT1 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA which sponged miR-142a-3p, therefore promoted HMGB1 expression to activate TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway in HIRI. CONCLUSION LncRNA KCNQ1OT1 elevated HMGB1 expression through binding to miR-142a-3p, thereby promoting pyroptosis in HIRI.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) results in the aggravation of myocardial injury caused by rapid recanalization of the ischemic myocardium. In the past few years, there is a growing interest in investigating the complex pathophysiological mechanism of MIRI for the identification of effective targets and drugs to alleviate MIRI. Currently, pyroptosis, a type of inflammatory programmed death, has received greater attention. It is involved in the MIRI development in combination with other mechanisms of MIRI, such as oxidative stress, calcium overload, necroptosis, and apoptosis, thereby forming an intertwined association between different pathways that affect MIRI by regulating common pathway molecules. This review describes the pyroptosis mechanism in MIRI and its relationship with other mechanisms, and also highlights non-coding RNAs and non-cardiomyocytes as regulators of cardiomyocyte pyroptosis by mediating associated pathways or proteins to participate in the initiation and development of MIRI. The research progress on novel small molecule drugs, clinical drugs, traditional Chinese medicine, etc. for regulating pyroptosis can play a crucial role in effective MIRI alleviation. When compared to research on other mature mechanisms, the research studies on pyroptosis in MIRI are inadequate. Although many related protective drugs have been identified, these drugs generally lack clinical applications. It is necessary to further explore and verify these drugs to expand their applications in clinical setting. Early inhibition of MIRI by targeted regulation of pyroptosis is a key concern that needs to be addressed in future studies.

[PMID: 36044938 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2022.115235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2022] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Heart failure remains a considerable clinical and public health problem, it is the dominant cause of death from cardiovascular diseases, besides, cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The survival of patients with heart failure continues to be low with 45-60% reported deaths within five years. Apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, and pyroptosis mediate cardiac cell death. Acute cell death is the hallmark pathogenesis of heart failure and other cardiac pathologies. Inhibition of pyroptosis, autophagy, apoptosis, or necrosis reduces cardiac damage and improves cardiac function in cardiovascular diseases. Pyroptosis is a form of inflammatory deliberate cell death that is characterized by the activation of inflammasomes such as NOD-like receptors (NLR), absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2), interferon-inducible protein 16 (IFI-16), and their downstream effector cytokines: Interleukin IL-1β and IL-18 leading to cell death. Recent studies have shown that pyroptosis is also the dominant cell death process in cardiomyocytes, cardiac fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and immune cells. It plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of cardiac diseases that contribute to heart failure. This review intends to summarize the therapeutic implications targeting pyroptosis in the main cardiac pathologies preceding heart failure.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has proved that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play a critical role in the genetic programming and gene regulation of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality are rising and have become a primary public health issue that requires immediate resolution through effective intervention. Numerous studies have revealed that new types of cell death, such as pyroptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis, play critical cellular roles in CVD progression. It is worth noting that ncRNAs are critical novel regulators of cardiovascular risk factors and cell functions by mediating pyroptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis. Thus, ncRNAs can be regarded as promising therapeutic targets for treating and diagnosing cardiovascular diseases. Recently, there has been a surge of interest in the mediation of ncRNAs on three types of cell death in regulating tissue homeostasis and pathophysiological conditions in CVDs. Although our understanding of ncRNAs remains in its infancy, the studies reviewed here may provide important new insights into how ncRNAs interact with CVDs. This review summarizes what is known about the functions of ncRNAs in modulating cell death-associated CVDs and their role in CVDs, as well as their current limitations and future prospects.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) induces pyroptosis in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Previous studies have shown that the expression of the miR-15 family is stimulated in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury or H/R-induced cardiomyocyte injury, and miR-15 is a promoter of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion or H/R injury. However, whether miR-15b-5p regulates H/R injury and cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and its mechanism still need to be further clarified. Bioinformatics analysis elicited that SIRT3 was the downstream regulatory target gene of miR-15b-5p. SIRT3 has been shown to participate in the regulation of pyroptosis by negatively regulating the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Therefore, we hypothesized that miR-15b-5p targets SIRT3 and activated the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway to promote H/R-induced cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. We first show that H/R increases miR-15b-5p in rat cardiomyocytes H9C2. Next, we tested the effects of inhibition of miR-15b-5p or overexpression of SIRT3. We found that miR-15b-5p downregulation or SIRT3 overexpression could reverse the H/R-induced pyroptosis. Furthermore, silencing SIRT3 antagonized the protective effect of miR-15b-5p downregulation on H9C2 cells. NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 annulled the previously mentioned antagonistic effect of silencing SIRT3 on the protection of miR-15b-5p downregulation against pyroptosis. We then used a rat AMI model to analyze myocardial infarction area by triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining and assess serum cardiac troponin T level by ELISA and found that miR-15b-5p silencing reduced AMI injury in rats. Collectively, these results suggest that miR-15b-5p increase H/R-induced pyroptosis in cardiomyocytes by targeting SIRT3 and activating the NLRP3 inflammasome.

J Food Biochem 2022; 46:e14233. [PMID: 35567300 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.14233] [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: 03/08/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Administration of Piper retrofractum extract (PRE) has been reported to alleviate edema, but the mechanism underlying this effect is unknown. Promotion of lymphangiogenesis is known to improve lymphedema, but the effect of PRE on lymphangiogenesis remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated whether PRE and specifically, piperine, the main component of PRE, can induce lymphangiogenesis. Treatments with PRE and piperine significantly promoted the proliferation, migration, and tube formation in human dermal lymphatic microvascular endothelial cells (HDLECs) but had no effect on the expression of lymphangiogenic factors. Furthermore, PRE and piperine significantly promoted the phosphorylation of the AKT and ERK proteins in HDLECs, and pretreatment with AKT and ERK inhibitors significantly attenuated the PRE- and piperine-induced lymphangiogenesis. These results indicate that PRE and piperine promote lymphangiogenesis via an AKT- and ERK-dependent mechanism. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The lymphatic system plays various roles such as maintaining tissue fluid homeostasis, immune defense, and metabolism. Disruption of the lymphatic system results in insufficient fluid drainage, which causes edema. Currently, there are no effective treatments for lymphedema; therefore, the development of novel treatment strategies is desirable. In this study, we showed that PRE and its main component piperine promote lymphangiogenesis in lymphatic endothelial cells. Therefore, PRE has the potential to be used as a novel functional food for relieving lymphedema.

Abstract
Despite the significant decline in mortality, cardiovascular diseases are still the leading cause of death worldwide. Among them, myocardial infarction (MI) seems to be the most important. A further decline in the death rate may be achieved by the introduction of molecularly targeted drugs. It seems that the components of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway are good candidates for this. The PI3K/Akt pathway plays a key role in the regulation of the growth and survival of cells, such as cardiomyocytes. In addition, it has been shown that the activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway results in the alleviation of the negative post-infarct changes in the myocardium and is impaired in the state of diabetes. In this article, the role of this pathway was described in each step of ischemia and subsequent left ventricular remodeling. In addition, we point out the most promising substances which need more investigation before introduction into clinical practice. Moreover, we present the impact of diabetes and widely used cardiac and antidiabetic drugs on the PI3K/Akt pathway and discuss the molecular mechanism of its effects on myocardial ischemia and left ventricular remodeling.

Abstract
Programmed cell deaths are pathways involving cells playing an active role in their own destruction. Depending on the signaling system of the process, programmed cell death can be divided into two categories, pro-inflammatory and non-inflammatory. Pyroptosis is a pro-inflammatory form of programmed cell death. Upon cell death, a plethora of cytokines are released and trigger a cascade of responses from the neighboring cells. The pyroptosis process is a double-edged sword, could be both beneficial and detrimental in various inflammatory disorders and disease conditions. A physiological outcome of these responses is tissue damage, and sometimes death of the host. In this review, we focus on the inflammatory response triggered by pyroptosis, and resulting tissue damage in selected organs.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that commonly have 18-22 nucleotides and play important roles in the regulation of gene expression via directly binding to the 3'-UTR of target mRNAs. Approximately 50% of human genes are regulated by miRNAs and they are involved in many human diseases, including various types of cancers. Recently, microRNA-383 (miR-383) has been identified as being aberrantly expressed in multiple cancers, such as malignant melanoma, colorectal cancer, hepatocellular cancer, and glioma. Increasing evidence suggests that miR-383 participates in tumorigenic events including proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, and metastasis as well as drug resistance. Although downstream targets including CCND1, LDHA, VEGF, and IGF are illustrated to be regulated by miR-383, its roles in carcinogenesis are still ambiguous and the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Herein, we review the latest studies on miR-383 and summarize its functions in human cancers and other diseases. The goal of this review is to provide new strategies for targeted therapy and further investigations.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) emerges as an acute and critical disease. Tripartite motif 8 (TRIM8), one number of the TRIM protein family, is proved to participate in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, whether TRIM8 is involved in renal I/R injury and the associated mechanisms are currently unclear. Purpose This study aimed to investigate the precise role of TRIM8 and relevant mechanisms in renal I/R injury. Materials and Methods In this study, human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) underwent 12 hours of hypoxia and 2 h, 3 h or 4 h of reoxygenation to establish an in vitro hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model. The siRNAs specific to TRIM8 (si-TRIM8) were transfected into HK-2 cells to knockdown TRIM8. The cell H/R model included various groups including Control, H/R, H/R+DMSO, H/R+NAC, si-NC+H/R, si-TRIM8+H/R and si-TRIM8+LY294002+H/R. The cell viability and levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), mRNA, apoptotic proteins, pyroptosis-related proteins and PI3K/AKT pathway-associated proteins were assessed. Results In vitro, realtime-quantitative PCR and western-blot analysis showed that the mRNA and protein expression of TRIM8 were obviously upregulated after H/R treatment in HK-2 cells. Compared with the H/R model group, knockdown of TRIM8 significantly increased cell viability and reduced the levels of ROS, H2O2, apoptotic proteins (Cleaved caspasebase-3 and BAX) and pyroptosis-related proteins (NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, Caspase-11, IL-1β and GSDMD-N). Western-blot analysis also authenticated that PI3K/AKT pathway was activated after TRIM8 inhibition. The application of 5 mM N-acetyl-cysteine, one highly efficient ROS inhibitor, significantly suppressed the expression of apoptotic proteins and pyroptosis-related proteins. Moreover, the combined treatment of TRIM8 knockdown and LY294002 reversed the effects of inhibiting oxidative stress. Conclusion Knockdown of TRIM8 can alleviate H/R-induced oxidative stress by triggering the PI3K/AKT pathway, thus attenuating pyropyosis and apoptosis in vitro.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often leads to functional disabilities and deformities. MiRNA plays a vital role in cell pyroptosis. Nevertheless, the function and underlying mechanism of miR-144-3p in pyroptosis during the progression of RA remains unclear. In this study, N1511 cells were stimulated with IL-1β to construct a RA model. 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was performed to assess the cell viability. Cell pyroptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The levels of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-18) were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The relationship among specific protein 1 (SP1), microRNA-144-3p (miR-144-3p), and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) was explored by dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), respectively. The level of miR-144-3p in N1511 cells was upregulated by IL-1β. MiR-144-3p knockdown inhibited IL-1β-induced pyroptosis in N1511 cells, and the expressions of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), Cleaved caspase-1, Gasdermin D (GSDMD), and Cleaved caspase-3 in IL-1β-stimulated N1511 cells were increased. The levels of inflammatory cytokines in N1511 cells were increased by IL-1β, which were restored by miR-144-3p knockdown. MiR-144-3p knockdown abolished IL-1β-induced inactivation of putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin-protein (Parkin) signalling. Moreover, transcription factor SP1 could upregulate miR-144-3p expression and miR-144-3p negatively regulated PTEN expression. In summary, MiR-144-3p induced by SP1 could promote IL-1β-induced chondrocyte pyroptosis via inhibiting PTEN expression and suppressing the activation of PINK1/Parkin signalling, which provided a new strategy against RA.

AICAR, an AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Activator, Ameliorates Acute Pancreatitis-Associated Liver Injury Partially Through Nrf2-Mediated Antioxidant Effects and Inhibition of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:724514.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a highly fatal acute inflammation and is often accompanied by multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). The liver, one of the most vulnerable extrapancreatic organs in AP, is the major organ involved in the evolution of the disease and correlates strongly with the occurrence of MODS. However, the etiology of pancreatitis-associated liver injury (PALI) has not been clarified and currently lacks an effective treatment. 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) is a cell permeable nucleoside with pleiotropic effects on anti-inflammatory and antioxidant stress that binds with adenosine monophosphate protein kinase (AMPK) and induces AMPK activation. However, the role of AICAR in PALI remains elusive. Here, we show that activation of AMPK by AICAR, a direct AMPK agonist, significantly ameliorates sodium taurocholate-induced PALI in rats, whereas treatment of PALI rats with the AMPK antagonist Compound C profoundly exacerbates the degree of liver injury, suggesting that hepatic AMPK activation exerts an essential protective role in PALI. Mechanistically, AICAR induces AMPK activation, which in turn activates nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2) -regulated hepatic antioxidant capacity and inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyrolysis, protecting rats from sodium taurocholate-induced PALI. In addition, Nrf2 deficiency strikingly weakens the beneficial effects of AICAR on alleviation of liver injury, oxidative stress and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in L-arginine-induced PALI mice. Thus, AICAR protects against PALI in rodents by triggering AMPK, which is mediated at least in part by Nrf2-modulated antioxidant effects and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most important diseases endangering human life. The pathogenesis of CVDs is complex. Pyroptosis, which differs from traditional apoptosis and necrosis, is characterized by cell swelling until membrane rupture, resulting in the release of cell contents and activation of a strong inflammatory response. Recent studies have revealed that inflammation and pyroptosis play important roles in the progression of CVDs. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are considered promising biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, including CVDs. Growing evidence has revealed that ncRNAs can mediate the transcriptional or posttranscriptional regulation of pyroptosis-related genes by participating in the pyroptosis regulatory network. The role and molecular mechanism of pyroptosis-regulating ncRNAs in cardiovascular pathologies are attracting increasing attention. Here, we summarize research progress on pyroptosis and the role of ncRNAs, particularly microRNAs (miRNAs), long ncRNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), in the regulation of pyroptosis in CVD pathologies. Identifying these disease-related ncRNAs is important for understanding the pathogenesis of CVDs and providing new targets and ideas for their prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Inflammatory diseases have a negative impact on bone homeostasis via exacerbated local and systemic inflammation. Bone resorbing osteoclasts are mainly derived from hematopoietic precursors and bone marrow monocytes. Induced osteoclastogenesis during inflammation, autoimmunity, metabolic diseases, and cancers is associated with bone loss and osteoporosis. Proinflammatory cytokines, pathogen-associated molecular patterns, or endogenous pathogenic factors induce osteoclastogenic differentiation by binding to the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family expressed on surface of osteoclast precursors. As a non-canonical member of the TLRs, radioprotective 105 kDa (RP105 or CD180) and its ligand, myeloid differentiation protein 1 (MD1), are involved in several bone metabolic disorders. Reports from literature had demonstrated RP105 as an important activator of B cells, bone marrow monocytes, and macrophages, which regulates inflammatory cytokines release from immune cells. Reports from literature had shown the association between RP105 and other TLRs, and the downstream signaling mechanisms of RP105 with different “signaling-competent” partners in immune cells during different disease conditions. This review is focused to summarize: (1) the role of RP105 on immune cells’ function and inflammation regulation (2) the potential regulatory roles of RP105 in different disease-mediated osteoclast activation and the underlying mechanisms, and (3) the different “signaling-competent” partners of RP105 that regulates osteoclastogenesis.

J Cell Mol Med 2021; 25:244-258. [PMID: 33219747 PMCID: PMC7810957 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.15953] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2020] [Revised: 09/12/2020] [Accepted: 09/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
miRNA-mediated pyroptosis play crucial effects in the development of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury (MIRI). Piperine (PIP) possesses multiple pharmacological effects especially in I/R condition. This study focuses on whether PIP protects MIRI from pyroptosis via miR-383-dependent pathway. Rat MIRI model was established by 30 minutes of LAD ligation and 4 hours of reperfusion. Myocardial enzymes, histomorphology, structure and function were detected to evaluate MIRI. Recombinant adenoviral vectors for miR-383 overexpression or miR-383 silencing or RP105 knockdown were constructed, respectively. Luciferase reporter analysis was used to confirm RP105 as a target of miR-383. Pyroptosis-related markers were measured by Western blotting assay. The results showed that I/R provoked myocardial injury, as shown by the increases of LDH/CK releases, infarcted areas and apoptosis as well as worsened function and structure. Pyroptosis-related mediators including NLRP3, cleaved caspase-1, cleaved IL-1β and IL-18 were also reinforced after MIRI. However, PIP treatment greatly ameliorated MIRI in parallel with pyroptotic repression. In mechanistic studies, MIRI-caused elevation of miR-383 and decrease of RP105/PI3K/AKT pathway were reverted by PIP treatment. Luciferase reporter assay confirmed RP105 as a miR-383 target. miR-383 knockdown ameliorated but miR-383 overexpression facilitated pyroptosis and MIRI. Moreover, the anti-pyroptotic effect from miR-383 silencing was verified to be relied on the RP105/PI3K/AKT signalling pathway. Additionally, our present study further indicated the miR-383/RP105/AKT-dependent approach resulting from PIP administration against pyroptosis in MIRI. Therefore, PIP treatment attenuates MIRI and pyroptosis by regulating miR-383/RP105/AKT pathway, and it may provide a therapeutic manner for the treatment of MIRI.
