NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024:10.1007/s00210-024-03230-4.

Abstract
Gastrodin (GAS), a bioactive compound derived from the orchid plant Gastrodia elata, exhibits numerous pharmacological effects. However, its effect on sleep deprivation (SD)-induced cardiac injury and the mechanisms are unknown. This study established SD mice model using a modified multiple platform water method and induced ferroptosis model in H9c2 cells using Erastin. The heart rate of mice was measured, and myocardial and mitochondrial structures were visualized using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Myocardial injury, oxidative stress indicators, and Fe2+ levels were detected by the kit method. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were detected by immunofluorescence, and SIRT6 and ferroptosis-associated protein expression levels were detected by Western blot. Reduced heart rate and abnormalities in myocardial tissue and mitochondrial structure were ameliorated in the SD group of mice after GAS treatment. GAS treatment reduced ROS levels in Erastin-induced H9c2 cells. GAS treatment reduced atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MAD), and Fe2+ levels, and increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) levels in the SD and Erastin groups. Western blot showed that GAS treatment increased the expression of sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and decreased the expression of P53 in SD and Erastin groups. The SIRT6 inhibitor OSS_128167 (OSS) reversed GAS treatment of Erastin-induced ferroptosis in H9c2 cells. These observations propose that GAS prevents myocardial injury in sleep-deprived mice by suppressing ferroptosis through SIRT6.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered form of programmed cell death triggered by intracellular iron overload, which leads to the accumulation of lipid peroxides in various cells. It has been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of various diseases, including tumors, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. The intricate mechanism underlying ferroptosis involves an imbalance between the oxidation and antioxidant systems, disturbances in iron metabolism, membrane lipid peroxidation, and dysregulation of amino acid metabolism. We highlight the key molecular mechanisms governing iron overload and ferroptosis, and discuss potential molecular pathways linking ferroptosis with arrhythmias.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate confers protection against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by inhibiting ferroptosis, apoptosis, and autophagy via modulation of 14-3-3η.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that the underlying mechanisms of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) are complex and involve multiple types of regulatory cell death, including ferroptosis, apoptosis, and autophagy. Thus, we aimed to identify the mechanisms underlying MIRI and validate the protective role of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and its related mechanisms in MIRI. An in vivo and in vitro models of MIRI were constructed. The results showed that pretreatment with EGCG could attenuate MIRI, as indicated by increased cell viability, reduced lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and apoptosis, inhibited iron overload, abnormal lipid metabolism, preserved mitochondrial function, decreased infarct size, maintained cardiac function, decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, and reduced TUNEL-positive cells. Additionally, EGCG pretreatment could attenuate ferroptosis, apoptosis, and autophagy induced by MIRI via upregulating 14-3-3η protein levels. Furthermore, the protective effects of EGCG could be abolished with pAd/14-3-3η-shRNA or Compound C11 (a 14-3-3η inhibitor) but not pAd/NC-shRNA. In conclusion, EGCG pretreatment attenuated ferroptosis, apoptosis, and autophagy by mediating 14-3-3η and protected cardiomyocytes against MIRI.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury most commonly occurs in coronary artery disease when prompt reperfusion is used to salvage the ischemic myocardium. Cardiomyocyte death is a significant component of myocardial I/R injury and its mechanism was previously thought to be limited to apoptosis and necrosis. With the discovery of novel types of cell death, ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis have been shown to be involved in myocardial I/R. These new forms of regulated cell death cause cardiomyocyte loss and exacerbate I/R injury by affecting reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, calcium stress, and inflammatory cascades, subsequently mediating adverse remodeling, cardiac dysfunction, and heart failure. Herein, we review the roles of ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis in myocardial I/R and discuss their contribution to pathology.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) and its associated complications including ventricular arrhythmias and heart failure are responsible for a significant incidence of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The ensuing cardiomyocyte loss results in neurohormone-driven cardiac remodeling, which leads to chronic heart failure in MI survivors. Ivabradine is a heart rate modulation agent currently used in treatment of chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. The canonical target of ivabradine is the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (HCN) in cardiac pacemaker cells. However, in post-MI hearts, HCN can also be expressed ectopically in non-pacemaker cardiomyocytes. There is an accumulation of intriguing evidence to suggest that ivabradine also possesses cardioprotective effects that are independent of heart rate reduction. This review aims to summarize and discuss the reported cardioprotective mechanisms of ivabradine beyond heart rate modulation in myocardial infarction through various molecular mechanisms including the prevention of reactive oxygen species-induced mitochondrial damage, improvement of autophagy system, modulation of intracellular calcium cycling, modification of ventricular electrophysiology, and regulation of matrix metalloproteinases.

Abstract
Liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) remains a common issue and with the increasing incidence of Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which are more sensitive to IRI, it is crucial to explore the possible strategy to alleviate the steatotic liver IRI. Several modes of cell death are involved in hepatocytes and immune cells during hepatic IRI, and the effects of different cell death inhibitors including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis in steatotic liver IRI have not been investigated. We established 70% IRI model on steatotic liver in mice. Apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis and ferroptosis inhibitors were used to evaluate their effects on liver injury, inflammatory response, and immune cell infiltration. Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemical results demonstrated that there were apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis in the progression of IRI in steatotic liver. All four types of cell death inhibitors showed protective effects, but ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1 and pyroptosis inhibitor VX765 exerted better protective effects compared the apoptosis inhibitor Z-VAD and necroptosis inhibitor Nec-1. Further, we found that pyroptosis occurred mainly in macrophages and ferroptosis occured primarily in hepatocytes during steatotic liver IRI. Ferroptosis in heaptocytes and pyroptosis in macrophages are two major cell death types involved in steatotic liver IRI and inhibiting these cell death exerted good protective effects.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading factor driving mortality worldwide. Iron, an essential trace mineral, is important in numerous biological processes, and its role in CVDs has raised broad discussion for decades. Iron-mediated cell death, namely ferroptosis, has attracted much attention due to its critical role in cardiomyocyte damage and CVDs. Furthermore, ferritinophagy is the upstream mechanism that induces ferroptosis, and is closely related to CVDs. This review aims to delineate the processes and mechanisms of ferroptosis and ferritinophagy, and the regulatory pathways and molecular targets involved in ferritinophagy, and to determine their roles in CVDs. Furthermore, we discuss the possibility of targeting ferritinophagy-induced ferroptosis modulators for treating CVDs. Collectively, this review offers some new insights into the pathology of CVDs and identifies possible therapeutic targets.

Ferroptosis inhibitor improves cardiac function more effectively than inhibitors of apoptosis and necroptosis through cardiac mitochondrial protection in rats with iron-overloaded cardiomyopathy. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2023; 479:116727.

Abstract
Iron overload cardiomyopathy (IOC) is the leading cause of death in cases of iron overload in patients. Previous studies demonstrated that iron overload led to cardiomyocyte dysfunction and death through multiple pathways including apoptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis. However, the dominant cell death pathway in the iron-overloaded heart needs clarification. We tested the hypothesis that ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death, plays a dominant role in IOC, and ferroptosis inhibitor exerts greater efficacy than inhibitors of apoptosis and necroptosis on improving cardiac function in iron-overloaded rats. Iron dextran was injected intraperitoneally into male Wistar rats for four weeks to induce iron overload. Then, the rats were divided into 5 groups: treated with vehicle, apoptosis inhibitor (z-VAD-FMK), necroptosis inhibitor (Necrostatin-1), ferroptosis inhibitor (Ferrostatin-1) or iron chelator (deferoxamine) for 2 weeks. Cardiac function, mitochondrial function, apoptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis were determined. The increased expression of apoptosis-, necroptosis- and ferroptosis-related proteins, were associated with impaired cardiac and mitochondrial function in iron-overloaded rats. All cell death inhibitors attenuated cardiac apoptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis in iron-overloaded rats. Ferrostatin-1 was more effective than the other drugs in diminishing mitochondrial dysfunction and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Moreover, both Ferrostatin-1 and deferoxamine reversed iron overload-induced cardiac dysfunction as indicated by restored left ventricular ejection fraction and E/A ratio, whereas z-VAD-FMK and Necrostatin-1 only partially improved this parameter. These results indicated that ferroptosis could be the predominant form of cardiomyocyte death in IOC, and that inhibiting ferroptosis might be a potential novel treatment for IOC.

Abstract
AIMS Ferroptosis has grown in importance as a key factor in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. This study explores the mechanism underlying fibrotic scarring extending along myofibers in cardiac ischemic injury and demonstrates the integral role of ferroptosis in causing a unique cell death pattern linked to I/R injury. MAIN METHODS Cadaveric hearts from individuals who had ischemic injury were examined by histological assays. We created a novel model of inducing cell death in H9c2 cells, and used it to demonstrate ferroptotic cell death extending in a cell-to-cell manner. Ex vivo Langendorff-perfused hearts were used alongside the model to replicate cell death extension along myofibers while also demonstrating protective effects of a ferroptosis inhibitor, ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1). KEY FINDINGS Human hearts from individuals who had I/R injury demonstrated scarring along myofibers that was consistent with mouse models, suggesting that cell death extended from cell-to-cell. Treatment with Ras-selective lethal 3 (RSL3), a ferroptosis inducer, and exposure to excess iron exacerbated cell death propagation in in vitro models, and inhibition of ferroptosis by Fer-1 blunted this effect in both settings. In ex vivo models, Fer-1 was sufficient to reduce cell death along the myofibers caused by external injury. SIGNIFICANCE The unique I/R injury-induced pattern of cell death along myofibers requires novel injury models that mimic this phenomenon, thus we established new methods to replicate it. Ferroptosis is important in propagating injury between cells and better understanding this mechanism may lead to therapeutic responses that limit I/R injury.

Galangin Attenuates Myocardial Ischemic Reperfusion-Induced Ferroptosis by Targeting Nrf2/Gpx4 Signaling Pathway. Drug Des Devel Ther 2023; 17:2495-2511. [PMID: 37637264 PMCID: PMC10460190 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s409232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a crucial clinical problem globally. The molecular mechanisms of MIRI need to be fully explored to develop new therapeutic methods. Galangin (Gal), which is a natural flavonoid extracted from Alpinia Officinarum Hance and Propolis, possesses a wide range of pharmacological activities, but its effects on MIRI remain unclear. This study aimed to determine the pharmacological effects of Gal on MIRI. Methods C57BL/6 mice underwent reperfusion for 3 h after 45 min of ischemia, and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCs) subjected to hypoxia and reoxygenation (HR) were cultured as in vivo and in vitro models. Echocardiography and TTC-Evans Blue staining were performed to evaluate the myocardial injury. Transmission electron microscope and JC-1 staining were used to validate the mitochondrial function. Additionally, Western blot detected ferroptosis markers, including Gpx4, FTH, and xCT. Results Gal treatment alleviated cardiac myofibril damage, reduced infarction size, improved cardiac function, and prevented mitochondrial injury in mice with MIRI. Gal significantly alleviated HR-induced cell death and mitigated mitochondrial membrane potential reduction in NRCs. Furthermore, Gal significantly inhibited ferroptosis by preventing iron overload and lipid peroxidation, as well as regulating Gpx4, FTH, and xCT expression levels. Moreover, Gal up-regulated nuclear transcriptive factor Nrf2 in HR-treated NRCs. Nrf2 inhibition by Brusatol abolished the protective effect of Gal against ferroptosis. Conclusion This study revealed that Gal alleviates myocardial ischemic reperfusion-induced ferroptosis by targeting Nrf2/Gpx4 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease morbidity/mortality are increasing due to an aging population and the rising prevalence of diabetes and obesity. Therefore, innovative cardioprotective measures are required to reduce cardiovascular disease morbidity/mortality. The role of necroptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI-RI) is beyond doubt, but the molecular mechanisms of necroptosis remain incompletely elucidated. Growing evidence suggests that MI-RI frequently results from the superposition of multiple pathways, with autophagy, ferroptosis, and CypD-mediated mitochondrial damage, and necroptosis all contributing to MI-RI. Receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIPK1 and RIPK3) as well as mixed lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL) activation is accompanied by the activation of other signaling pathways, such as Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), NF-κB, and JNK-Bnip3. These pathways participate in the pathological process of MI-RI. Recent studies have shown that inhibitors of necroptosis can reduce myocardial inflammation, infarct size, and restore cardiac function. In this review, we will summarize the molecular mechanisms of necroptosis, the links between necroptosis and other pathways, and current breakthroughs in pharmaceutical therapies for necroptosis.

Treatment with apoptosis inhibitor restores cognitive impairment in rats with myocardial infarction. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2023; 1869:166809. [PMID: 37453581 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2023.166809] [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: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 06/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
We previously reported that apoptosis is responsible for cognitive impairment in rats with myocardial infarction (MI). Acute administration of an apoptosis inhibitor (Z-vad) effectively reduced brain inflammation in rats with cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury. However, the beneficial effects of Z-vad on cognitive function, brain inflammation, mitochondrial function, cell death pathways, and neurogenesis in MI rats have not been investigated. Male rats were divided into sham or MI groups (left anterior descending coronary ligation). A successful MI was determined by a reduction of ejection fraction <50 %. Then, MI rats were allocated to receive vehicle, enalapril (10 mg/kg, a positive control), and Z-vad (1 mg/kg) for 4 weeks. Cardiac function, cognitive function, and molecular analysis were investigated. MI rats exhibited cardiac dysfunction, cognitive impairment, blood brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, dendritic spine loss, which were accompanied by an upregulation of oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis. Chronic treatment with Z-vad attenuated cardiac dysfunction following MI to the same extent as enalapril. Z-vad successfully improved cognitive function and restored dendritic spine density in MI rats through a reduction of systemic oxidative stress and brain mitochondrial dysfunction similar to enalapril. Moreover, Z-vad provided greater efficacy than enalapril in enhancing mitophagy, neurogenesis, synaptic proteins and reducing apoptosis in hippocampus of MI rats. Nevertheless, neither Z-vad nor enalapril increased BBB tight junction protein. In conclusion, treatment with an apoptosis inhibitor reduced cognitive impairment in MI rats via reducing oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and restoring dendritic spine density, together with enhancing mitophagy and neurogenesis.

Acute administration of myeloid differentiation factor 2 inhibitor and N-acetyl cysteine attenuate brain damage in rats with cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury. Arch Biochem Biophys 2023; 740:109598.

Abstract
Inflammation and oxidative stress are mechanisms which potentially underlie the brain damage that can occur after cardiac ischemic and reperfusion (I/R) injury. 2i-10 is a new anti-inflammatory agent, acting via direct inhibition of myeloid differentiation factor 2 (MD2). However, the effects of 2i-10 and the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on pathologic brain in cardiac I/R injury are unknown. We hypothesized that 2i-10 and NAC offer similar neuroprotection levels against dendritic spine reduction through attenuation of brain inflammation, loss of tight junction integrity, mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive gliosis, and suppression of AD protein expression in rats with cardiac I/R injury. Male rats were allocated to either sham or acute cardiac I/R group (30 min of cardiac ischemia and 120 min of reperfusion). Rats in cardiac I/R group were given one of following treatments intravenously at the onset of reperfusion: vehicle, 2i-10 (20 or 40 mg/kg), and NAC (75 or 150 mg/kg). The brain was then used to determine biochemical parameters. Cardiac I/R led to cardiac dysfunction with dendritic spine loss, loss of tight junction integrity, brain inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Treatment with 2i-10 (both doses) effectively reduced cardiac dysfunction, tau hyperphosphorylation, brain inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, dendritic spine loss, and improved tight junction integrity. Although both doses of NAC effectively reduced brain mitochondrial dysfunction, treatment using a high dose of NAC reduced cardiac dysfunction, brain inflammation, and dendritic spine loss. In conclusion, treatment with 2i-10 and a high dose of NAC at the onset of reperfusion alleviated brain inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction, consequently reducing dendritic spine loss in rats with cardiac I/R injury.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a serious complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, which leads to the aggravation of myocardial fibrosis, disorders involving systolic and diastolic functions, and increased mortality of patients with diabetes through mechanisms such as glycolipid toxicity, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress. Ferroptosis is a form of iron-dependent regulatory cell death that is attributed to the accumulation of lipid peroxides and an imbalance in redox regulation. Increased production of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) during ferroptosis promotes oxidative stress and damages myocardial cells, leading to myocardial systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Overproduction of ROS is an important bridge between ferroptosis and DCM, and ferroptosis inhibitors may provide new targets for the treatment of patients with DCM.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a major challenge in perioperative medicine that contributes to pathological damage in various conditions, including ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, acute lung injury, liver transplantation, acute kidney injury and hemorrhagic shock. I/R damage is often irreversible, and current treatments for I/R injury are limited. Ferroptosis, a type of regulated cell death characterized by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides, has been implicated in multiple diseases, including I/R injury. Emerging evidence suggests that ferroptosis can serve as a therapeutic target to alleviate I/R injury, and pharmacological strategies targeting ferroptosis have been developed in I/R models. Here, we systematically summarize recent advances in research on ferroptosis in I/R injury and provide a comprehensive analysis of ferroptosis-regulated genes investigated in the context of I/R, as well as the therapeutic applications of ferroptosis regulators, to provide insights into developing therapeutic strategies for this devastating disease.
