Abstract
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a crucial regulatory kinase, monitors energy levels, conserving ATP and boosting synthesis in low-nutrition, low-energy states. Its sensitivity links microenvironmental changes to cellular responses. As the primary support structure and endocrine organ, the maintenance, and repair of bones are closely associated with the microenvironment. While a series of studies have explored the effects of specific microenvironments on bone, there is lack of angles to comprehensively evaluate the interactions between microenvironment and bone cells, especially for bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) which mediate the differentiation of osteogenic lineage. It is noteworthy that accumulating evidence has indicated that AMPK may serve as a hub between BMMSCs and microenvironment factors, thus providing a new perspective for us to understand the biology and pathophysiology of stem cells and bone. In this review, we emphasize AMPK's pivotal role in bone microenvironment modulation via ATP, inflammation, reactive oxygen species (ROS), calcium, and glucose, particularly in BMMSCs. We further explore the use of AMPK-activating drugs in the context of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. Moreover, building upon the foundation of AMPK, we elucidate a viewpoint that facilitates a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic relationship between the microenvironment and bone homeostasis, offering valuable insights for prospective investigations into stem cell biology and the treatment of bone diseases.

Inhibition of visceral adipose tissue-derived pathogenic signals by activation of adenosine A 2AR improves hepatic and cardiac dysfunction of NASH mice. Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol 2024; 326:G385-G397. [PMID: 38252682 PMCID: PMC11213477 DOI: 10.1152/ajpgi.00104.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
A2AR-disrupted mice is characterized by severe systemic and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) inflammation. Increasing adenosine cyclase (AC), cAMP, and protein kinase A (PKA) formation through A2AR activation suppress systemic/VAT inflammation in obese mice. This study explores the effects of 4 wk A2AR agonist PSB0777 treatment on the VAT-driven pathogenic signals in hepatic and cardiac dysfunction of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) obese mice. Among NASH mice with cardiac dysfunction, simultaneous decrease in the A2AR, AC, cAMP, and PKA levels were observed in VAT, liver, and heart. PSB0777 treatment significantly restores AC, cAMP, PKA, and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) levels, decreased SREBP-1/FASN, MCP-1, and CD68 levels, reduces infiltrated CD11b+ F4/80+ cells and adipogenesis in VAT of NASH + PSB0777 mice. The changes in VAT were accompanied by the suppression of hepatic and cardiac lipogenic/inflammatory/injury/apoptotic/fibrotic markers, the normalization of cardiac contractile [sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2)] marker, and cardiac dysfunction. The in vitro approach revealed that conditioned media (CM) of VAT of NASH mice (CMnash) trigger palmitic acid (PA)-like lipotoxic (lipogenic/inflammatory/apoptotic/fibrotic) effects in AML-12 and H9c2 cell systems. Significantly, A2AR agonist pretreatment-related normalization of A2AR-AC-cAMP-PKA levels was associated with the attenuation of CMnash-related upregulation of lipotoxic markers and the normalization of lipolytic (AML-12 cells) or contractile (H9C2 cells) marker/contraction. The in vivo and in vitro experiments revealed that A2AR agonists are potential agent to inhibit the effects of VAT inflammation-driven pathogenic signals on the hepatic and cardiac lipogenesis, inflammation, injury, apoptosis, fibrosis, hypocontractility, and subsequently improve hepatic and cardiac dysfunction in NASH mice.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Protective role of adenosine A2AR receptor (A2AR) and AC-cAMP-PKA signaling against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) possibly via its actions on adipocytes is well known in the past decade. Thus, this study evaluates pharmacological activities of A2AR agonist PSB0777, which has already demonstrated to treat NASH. In this study, the inhibition of visceral adipose tissue-derived pathogenic signals by activation of adenosine A2AR with A2AR agonist PSB0777 improves the hepatic and cardiac dysfunction of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NASH mice.

Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEA) is a mycotoxin that is highly contaminated in feed and can cause severe toxic effects on the kidneys and other organs of animals. Quercetin (QUE) is a plant-derived flavonoid with a variety of detoxification properties, but the mechanism by which QUE detoxifies the toxic effects induced by ZEA has not yet been fully elucidated. We treated porcine kidney cells (PK15) with 80 μM ZEA and/or 30 μM QUE. The results showed that ROS and MDA levels were increased, antioxidant system levels were down-regulated, anti-apoptotic factor expression levels were decreased, and apoptotic and necroptosis-related factors were up-regulated after ZAE exposure. In addition, the results of Ca2+ staining, mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial dynamics-related indicators showed that ZEA induced Ca2+ overload in PK15 cells and increased mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake (MCU expression increased). The accumulated ROS and free Ca2+ further aggravate mitochondrial damage and eventually lead to mitochondrial pathway apoptosis and necroptosis. Nevertheless, QUE targets CaSR to inhibit the CaSR/CaMKII pathway and regulate calcium homeostasis, thereby alleviating apoptosis and necroptosis mediated by mitochondrial dynamic disorder and dysfunction. The present study demonstrated the mechanism by which ZEA induces apoptosis and necroptosis in PK15 and the protective role of QUE in this process.

The purified extract of steamed Panax ginseng protects cardiomyocyte from ischemic injury via caveolin-1 phosphorylation-mediating calcium influx. J Ginseng Res 2023; 47:755-765. [PMID: 38107394 PMCID: PMC10721475 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgr.2023.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Caveolin-1, the scaffolding protein of cholesterol-rich invaginations, plays an important role in store-operated Ca2+ influx and its phosphorylation at Tyr14 (p-caveolin-1) is vital to mobilize protection against myocardial ischemia (MI) injury. SOCE, comprising STIM1, ORAI1 and TRPC1, contributes to intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) accumulation in cardiomyocytes. The purified extract of steamed Panax ginseng (EPG) attenuated [Ca2+]i overload against MI injury. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of EPG affecting p-caveolin-1 to further mediate SOCE/[Ca2+]i against MI injury in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and a rat model. Methods PP2, an inhibitor of p-caveolin-1, was used. Cell viability, [Ca2+]i concentration were analyzed in cardiomyocytes. In rats, myocardial infarct size, pathological damages, apoptosis and cardiac fibrosis were evaluated, p-caveolin-1 and STIM1 were detected by immunofluorescence, and the levels of caveolin-1, STIM1, ORAI1 and TRPC1 were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot. And, release of LDH, cTnI and BNP was measured. Results EPG, ginsenosides accounting for 57.96%, suppressed release of LDH, cTnI and BNP, and protected cardiomyocytes by inhibiting Ca2+ influx. And, EPG significantly relieved myocardial infarct size, cardiac apoptosis, fibrosis, and ultrastructure abnormality. Moreover, EPG negatively regulated SOCE via increasing p-caveolin-1 protein, decreasing ORAI1 mRNA and protein levels of ORAI1, TRPC1 and STIM1. More importantly, inhibition of the p-caveolin-1 significantly suppressed all of the above cardioprotection of EPG. Conclusions Caveolin-1 phosphorylation is involved in the protective effects of EPG against MI injury via increasing p-caveolin-1 to negatively regulate SOCE/[Ca2+]i.

Abstract
Chloride intracellular channel 1 (CLIC1) has emerged as a therapeutic target in various cancers. CLIC1 promotes cell cycle progression and cancer stem cell (CSC) self-renewal. Furthermore, CLIC1 is shown to play diverse roles in proliferation, cell volume regulation, tumour invasion, migration, and angiogenesis. In glioblastoma (GB), CLIC1 facilitates the G1/S phase transition and tightly regulates glioma stem-like cells (GSCs), a rare population of self-renewing CSCs with central roles in tumour resistance to therapy and tumour recurrence. CLIC1 is found as either a monomeric soluble protein or as a non-covalent dimeric protein that can form an ion channel. The ratio of dimeric to monomeric protein is altered in GSCs and depends on the cell redox state. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying the alterations in CLIC1 expression and structural transitions will further our understanding of its role in GSC biology. This review will highlight the role of CLIC1 in GSCs and its significance in facilitating different hallmarks of cancer.

Abstract
Cirrhosis transcends various progressive stages from compensation to decompensation driven by the severity of portal hypertension. The downstream effect of increasing portal hypertension severity leads to various pathophysiological pathways, which result in the cardinal complications of cirrhosis, including ascites, variceal hemorrhage, and hepatic encephalopathy. Additionally, the severity of portal hypertension is the central driver for further advanced complications of hyperdynamic circulation, hepatorenal syndrome, and cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. The management of these individual complications has specific nuances which have undergone significant developments. In contrast to the classical natural history of cirrhosis and its complications which follows an insidious trajectory, acute-on-chronic failure (ACLF) leads to a rapidly downhill course with high short-term mortality unless intervened at the early stages. The management of ACLF involves specific interventions, which have quickly evolved in recent years. In this review, we focus on complications of portal hypertension and delve into an approach toward ACLF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imatinib mesylate (IM) resistance is an emerging problem for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Previous studies found that connexin 43 (Cx43) deficiency in the hematopoietic microenvironment (HM) protects minimal residual disease (MRD), but the mechanism remains unknown. METHODS Immunohistochemistry assays were employed to compare the expression of Cx43 and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in bone marrow (BM) biopsies of CML patients and healthy donors. A coculture system of K562 cells and several Cx43-modified bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) was established under IM treatment. Proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and other indicators of K562 cells in different groups were detected to investigate the function and possible mechanism of Cx43. We assessed the Ca 2+ -related pathway by Western blotting. Tumor-bearing models were also established to validate the causal role of Cx43 in reversing IM resistance. RESULTS Low levels of Cx43 in BMs were observed in CML patients, and Cx43 expression was negatively correlated with HIF-1α. We also observed that K562 cells cocultured with BMSCs transfected with adenovirus-short hairpin RNA of Cx43 (BMSCs-shCx43) had a lower apoptosis rate and that their cell cycle was blocked in G0/G1 phase, while the result was the opposite in the Cx43-overexpression setting. Cx43 mediates gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) through direct contact, and Ca 2+ is the key factor mediating the downstream apoptotic pathway. In animal experiments, mice bearing K562, and BMSCs-Cx43 had the smallest tumor volume and spleen, which was consistent with the in vitro experiments. CONCLUSIONS Cx43 deficiency exists in CML patients, promoting the generation of MRD and inducing drug resistance. Enhancing Cx43 expression and GJIC function in the HM may be a novel strategy to reverse drug resistance and promote IM efficacy.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the major leading causes of death in humans globally. Recently, increased levels of recruited macrophages and AGE-albumin were observed in the hearts of humans and animals with acute myocardial infarction. Thus, the purposes of this study were to investigate whether the elevated levels of AGE-albumin from activated macrophage cells are implicated in ischemia-induced cardiomyocyte death and to develop therapeutic strategies for AMI based on its underlying molecular mechanisms with respect to AGEs. The present study demonstrated that activated macrophages and AGE-albumin were observed in heart tissues obtained from humans and rats with AMI incidences. In the cellular model of AMI, it was found that increased expression of AGE-albumin was shown to be co-localized with macrophages, and the presence of AGE-albumin led to increased expression of RAGE through the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway. After revealing cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by toxicity of the AGE-RAGE system, sRAGE-secreting MSCs were generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 platform to investigate the therapeutic effects of sRAGE-MSCs in an AMI rat model. Gene-edited sRAGE-MSCs showed greater therapeutic effects against AMI pathogenesis in rat models compared to mock MSCs, and promising results of the functional improvement of stem cells could result in significant improvements in the clinical management of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Long-term hypoxia can induce oxidative stress and apoptosis in hippocampal neurons that can lead to brain injury diseases. Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) is widely used in the antiapoptotic therapy of brain injury diseases. However, its mechanism of action is still not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of AS-IV on hypoxia-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in hippocampal neurons and explored its possible mechanism. In vivo, mice were placed in a hypoxic circulatory device containing 10% O2 and gavaged with AS-IV (60 and 120 mg/kg/d) for 4 weeks. In vitro, mouse hippocampal neuronal cells (HT22) were treated with hypoxia (1% O2) for 24 hours in the presence or absence of AS-IV, MDL-28170 (calpain-1 inhibitor), or YC-1 (HIF-1α inhibitor). The protective effect of AS-IV on brain injury was further explored by examining calpain-1 knockout mice. The results showed that hypoxia induced damage to hippocampal neurons, impaired spatial learning and memory abilities, and increased oxidative stress and apoptosis. Treatment with AS-IV or calpain-1 knockout improved the damage to hippocampal neurons and spatial learning and memory, attenuated oxidative stress and inhibited cell apoptosis. These changes were verified in HT22 cells. Overexpression of calpain-1 abolished the improvement of AS-IV on apoptosis and oxidative stress. In addition, the effects of AS-IV were accompanied by decreased calpain-1 and HIF-1α expression, and YC-1 showed a similar effect as AS-IV on calpain-1 and caspase-3 expression. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that AS-IV can downregulate the calpain-1/HIF-1α/caspase-3 pathway and inhibit oxidative stress and apoptosis of hippocampal neurons induced by hypoxia, which provides new ideas for studying the antiapoptotic activity of AS-IV.

Dapagliflozin reduces the vulnerability of rats with pulmonary arterial hypertension-induced right heart failure to ventricular arrhythmia by restoring calcium handling. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2022; 21:197. [PMID: 36171554 PMCID: PMC9516842 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-022-01614-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Malignant ventricular arrhythmia (VA) is a major contributor to sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-induced right heart failure (RHF). Recently, dapagliflozin (DAPA), a sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), has been found to exhibit cardioprotective effects in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. In this study, we examined the effects of DAPA on VA vulnerability in a rat model of PAH-induced RHF. Methods Rats randomly received monocrotaline (MCT, 60 mg/kg) or vehicle via a single intraperitoneal injection. A day later, MCT-injected rats were randomly treated with placebo, low-dose DAPA (1 mg/kg/day), or high-dose (3 mg/kg/day) DAPA orally for 35 days. Echocardiographic analysis, haemodynamic experiments, and histological assessments were subsequently performed to confirm the presence of PAH-induced RHF. Right ventricle (RV) expression of calcium (Ca2+) handling proteins were detected via Western blotting. RV expression of connexin 43 (Cx43) was determined via immunohistochemical staining. An optical mapping study was performed to assess the electrophysiological characteristics in isolated hearts. Cellular Ca2+ imaging from RV cardiomyocytes (RVCMs) was recorded using Fura-2 AM or Fluo-4 AM. Results High-dose DAPA treatment attenuated RV structural remodelling, improved RV function, alleviated Cx43 remodelling, increased the conduction velocity, restored the expression of key Ca2+ handling proteins, increased the threshold for Ca2+ and action potential duration (APD) alternans, decreased susceptibility to spatially discordant APD alternans and spontaneous Ca2+ events, promoted cellular Ca2+ handling, and reduced VA vulnerability in PAH-induced RHF rats. Low-dose DAPA treatment also showed antiarrhythmic effects in hearts with PAH-induced RHF, although with a lower level of efficacy. Conclusion DAPA administration reduced VA vulnerability in rats with PAH-induced RHF by improving RVCM Ca2+ handling.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 837:155733. [PMID: 35526619 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.155733] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 04/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Interest is growing to better comprehend the interaction of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) with the cardiovascular system. In particular, the extremely small size, relatively large surface area and associated unique properties may greatly enhance its toxic potentials compared to larger-sized counterparts. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms still need to be evaluated. In this context, the cardiotoxicity of nano-scale (Si-60; particle diameter about 60 nm) and submicro-scale silica particles (Si-300; 300 nm) were examined in ApoE-/- mice via intratracheal instillation, 6.0 mg/kg·bw, once per week for 12 times. The echocardiography showed that the sub-chronic exposure of Si-60 declined cardiac output (CO) and stroke volume (SV), shorten LVIDd and LVIDs, and thickened LVAWs of ApoE-/- mice in compared to the control and Si-300 groups. Histological investigations manifested Si-60 enhanced inflammatory infiltration, myocardial fiber arrangement disorder, hypertrophy and fibrosis in the cardiac tissue, as well as mitochondrial ultrastructural injury. Accordingly, the serum cTnT, cTnI and ANP were significantly elevated by Si-60, as well as cardiac ANP content. In particular, Si-60 greatly increased cardiac ROS, Ca2+ levels and CaMKII activation in comparison with Si-300. Further, in vitro investigations revealed silica particles induced a dose- and size-dependent activation of oxidative stress, mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, intracellular Ca2+ overload, CaMKII signaling activation and ensuing myocardial apoptosis in human cardiomyocytes (AC16). Mechanistic analyses revealed SiNPs induced myocardial apoptosis via ROS/Ca2+/CaMKII signaling, which may contribute to the abnormalities in cardiac structure and function in vivo. In summary, our research revealed SiNPs caused myocardial impairments, dysfunction and even structural remodeling via ROS/Ca2+/CaMKII signaling. Of note, a size-dependent myocardial toxicity was noticed, that is, Si-60 greater than Si-300.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Adrenergic receptors (ARs) are G protein-coupled receptors that are stimulated by catecholamines to induce a wide array of physiological effects across tissue types. Both α1- and β-ARs are found on cardiomyocytes and regulate cardiac contractility and hypertrophy through diverse molecular pathways. Acute activation of cardiomyocyte β-ARs increases heart rate and contractility as an adaptive stress response. However, chronic β-AR stimulation contributes to the pathobiology of heart failure. By contrast, mounting evidence suggests that α1-ARs serve protective functions that may mitigate the deleterious effects of chronic β-AR activation. Here, we will review recent studies demonstrating that α1- and β-ARs differentially regulate mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics, mitochondrial calcium handling, and oxidative phosphorylation in cardiomyocytes. We will identify potential mechanisms of these actions and focus on the implications of these findings for the modulation of contractile function in the uninjured and failing heart. Collectively, we hope to elucidate important physiological processes through which these well-studied and clinically relevant receptors stimulate and fuel cardiac contraction to contribute to myocardial health and disease.

Abstract
Drug resistance represents a major obstacle in cancer management, and the mechanisms underlying stress adaptation of cancer cells in response to therapy-induced hostile environment are largely unknown. As the central organelle for cellular energy supply, mitochondria can rapidly undergo dynamic changes and integrate cellular signaling pathways to provide bioenergetic and biosynthetic flexibility for cancer cells, which contributes to multiple aspects of tumor characteristics, including drug resistance. Therefore, targeting mitochondria for cancer therapy and overcoming drug resistance has attracted increasing attention for various types of cancer. Multiple mitochondrial adaptation processes, including mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial metabolism, and mitochondrial apoptotic regulatory machinery, have been demonstrated to be potential targets. However, recent increasing insights into mitochondria have revealed the complexity of mitochondrial structure and functions, the elusive functions of mitochondria in tumor biology, and the targeting inaccessibility of mitochondria, which have posed challenges for the clinical application of mitochondrial-based cancer therapeutic strategies. Therefore, discovery of both novel mitochondria-targeting agents and innovative mitochondria-targeting approaches is urgently required. Here, we review the most recent literature to summarize the molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial stress adaptation and their intricate connection with cancer drug resistance. In addition, an overview of the emerging strategies to target mitochondria for effectively overcoming chemoresistance is highlighted, with an emphasis on drug repositioning and mitochondrial drug delivery approaches, which may accelerate the application of mitochondria-targeting compounds for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Mitochondria, as the main site of cellular energy metabolism and the generation of oxygen free radicals, are the key switch for mitochondria-mediated endogenous apoptosis. Ca2+ is not only an important messenger for cell proliferation, but it is also an indispensable signal for cell death. Ca2+ participates in and plays a crucial role in the energy metabolism, physiology, and pathology of mitochondria. Mitochondria control the uptake and release of Ca2+ through channels/transporters, such as the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU), and influence the concentration of Ca2+ in both mitochondria and cytoplasm, thereby regulating cellular Ca2+ homeostasis. Mitochondrial Ca2+ transport-related processes are involved in important biological processes of tumor cells including proliferation, metabolism, and apoptosis. In particular, MCU and its regulatory proteins represent a new era in the study of MCU-mediated mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis in tumors. Through an in-depth analysis of the close correlation between mitochondrial Ca2+ and energy metabolism, autophagy, and apoptosis of tumor cells, we can provide a valuable reference for further understanding of how mitochondrial Ca2+ regulation helps diagnosis and therapy.

TRPC1 Contributes to Endotoxemia-induced Myocardial Dysfunction via Mediating Myocardial Apoptosis and Autophagy. Pharmacol Res 2022; 181:106262.

Abstract
Cardiac dysfunction is a vital complication of endotoxemia (ETM) with limited therapeutic options. Transient receptor potential canonical channel (TRPC)1 was involved in various heart diseases. While, the role of TRPC1 in ETM-induced cardiac dysfunction remains to be defined. In this study, we found that TRPC1 protein expression was significantly upregulated in hearts of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-challenged mice. What's more, TRPC1 knockdown significantly alleviated LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction and injury. Further myocardial mRNA-sequencing analysis revealed that TRPC1 might participate in pathogenesis of ETM-induced cardiac dysfunction via mediating myocardial apoptosis and autophagy. Data showed that knockdown of TRPC1 significantly ameliorated LPS-induced myocardial apoptotic injury, cardiomyocytes autophagosome accumulation, and myocardial autophagic flux. Simultaneously, deletion of TRPC1 reversed LPS-induced molecular changes of apoptosis/autophagy signaling pathway in cardiomyocytes. Moreover, TRPC1 could promote LPS-triggered intracellular Ca2+ release, subsequent calpain activation and caveolin-1 degradation. Either blocking calpain by PD150606 or enhancing the amount of caveolin-1 scaffolding domain that interacts with TRPC1 by cell-permeable peptide cavtratin significantly alleviated the LPS-induced cardiac dysfunction and cardiomyocytes apoptosis/autophagy. Furthermore, cavtratin could inhibit LPS-induced calpain activation in cardiomyocytes. caveolin-1 could directly interact with calpain 2 both in vivo and in vitro. Importantly, cecal ligation and puncture-stimulated cardiac dysfunction and mortality were significantly alleviated in Trpc1-/- and cavtratin-treated mice, which further validated the contribution of TRPC1-caveolin-1 signaling axis in sepsis-induced pathological process. Overall, this study indicated that TRPC1 could promote LPS-triggered intracellular Ca2+ release, mediate caveolin-1 reduction, and in turn activates calpain to regulate myocardial apoptosis and autophagy, contributing to ETM-induced cardiac dysfunction of mice.

Abstract
Iron oxide (Fe3O4), a classical magnetic material, has been widely utilized in the field of biological magnetic resonance imaging Graphene oxide (GO) has also been extensively applied as a drug carrier due to its high specific surface area and other properties. Recently, numerous studies have synthesized Fe3O4/GO nanomaterials for biological diagnosis and treatments, including photothermal therapy and magnetic thermal therapy. However, the biosafety of the synthesized Fe3O4/GO nanomaterials still needs to be further identified. Therefore, this research intended to ascertain the cytotoxicity of Fe3O4/GO after treatment with different conditions in HBE cells. The results indicated the time-dependent and concentration-dependent cytotoxicity of Fe3O4/GO. Meanwhile, exposure to Fe3O4/GO nanomaterials increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, calcium ions levels, and oxidative stress in mitochondria produced by these nanomaterials activated Caspase-9 and Caspase-3, ultimately leading to cell apoptosis.

Inhibition of myocardial cathepsin-L release during reperfusion following myocardial infarction improves cardiac function and reduces infarct size. Cardiovasc Res 2022; 118:1535-1547.

Abstract
AIMS Identifying novel mediators of lethal myocardial reperfusion injury that can be targeted during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) is key to limiting the progression of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) to heart failure. Here, we show through parallel clinical and integrative preclinical studies the significance of the protease cathepsin-L on cardiac function during reperfusion injury. METHODS AND RESULTS We found that direct cardiac release of cathepsin-L in STEMI patients (n = 76) immediately post-PPCI leads to elevated serum cathepsin-L levels and that serum levels of cathepsin-L in the first 24 h post-reperfusion are associated with reduced cardiac contractile function and increased infarct size. Preclinical studies demonstrate that inhibition of cathepsin-L release following reperfusion injury with CAA0225 reduces infarct size and improves cardiac contractile function by limiting abnormal cardiomyocyte calcium handling and apoptosis. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that cathepsin-L is a novel therapeutic target that could be exploited clinically to counteract the deleterious effects of acute reperfusion injury after an acute STEMI.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:842723. [PMID: 35370644 PMCID: PMC8967179 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.842723] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2021] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Baicalein (Bai) is the principal ingredient of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. Reports concerning the therapeutic advantages in treating cardiovascular diseases have been published. However, its protective mechanism towards myocardial ischemia (MI) is undefined. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the protective mechanisms of Bai on mouse and rat models of MI. Methods: Mice were pre-treated with Bai (30 and 60 mg/kg/day) for 7 days followed by subcutaneous injections of isoproterenol (ISO, 85 mg/kg/day) for 2 days to establish the MI model. Electrocardiograms were recorded and serum was used to detect creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Cardiac tissues were used to detect Ca2+ concentration, morphological pathologies, reactive oxygen species (ROS), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). In addition, the expression levels of Bcl-2-associated X (Bax), B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Caspase-3, Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation protein 88 (MyD88), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), p-p38, p-extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (p-ERK1/2) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) were assessed by western blots in myocardial tissues. The effects of Bai on L-type Ca2+ currents (ICa-L), contractility and Ca2+ transients in rat isolated cardiomyocytes were monitored by using patch clamp technique and IonOptix system. Moreover, ISO-induced H9c2 myocardial injury was used to detect levels of inflammation and apoptosis. Results: Bai caused an improvement in heart rate, ST-segment and heart coefficients. Moreover, Bai led to a reduction in CK, LDH and Ca2+ concentrations and improved morphological pathologies. Bai inhibited ROS generation and reinstated SOD, CAT and GSH activities in addition to inhibition of replenishing MDA content. Also, expressions of IL-6 and TNF-α in addition to Bax and Caspase-3 were suppressed, while Bcl-2 expression was upregulated. Bai inhibited protein expressions of TLR4/MyD88/MAPKS/NF-κB and significantly inhibited ICa-L, myocyte contraction and Ca2+ transients. Furthermore, Bai caused a reduction in inflammation and apoptosis in H9c2 cells. Conclusions: Bai demonstrated ameliorative actions towards MI, which might have been related to attenuation of oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis via suppression of TLR4/MyD88/MAPKS/NF-κB pathway and adjustment of Ca2+ homeostasis via L-type Ca2+ channels.

Abstract
Late sodium current has long been linked to dysrhythmia and contractile malfunction in the heart. Despite the increasing body of accumulating information on the subject, our understanding of its role in normal or pathologic states is not complete. Even though the role of late sodium current in shaping action potential under physiologic circumstances is debated, it’s unquestioned role in arrhythmogenesis keeps it in the focus of research. Transgenic mouse models and isoform-specific pharmacological tools have proved useful in understanding the mechanism of late sodium current in health and disease. This review will outline the mechanism and function of cardiac late sodium current with special focus on the recent advances of the area.

Abstract
Each heartbeat is initiated by the action potential, an electrical signal that depolarizes the plasma membrane and activates a cycle of calcium influx via voltage-gated calcium channels, calcium release via ryanodine receptors, and calcium reuptake and efflux via calcium-ATPase pumps and sodium-calcium exchangers. Agonists of the sympathetic nervous system bind to adrenergic receptors in cardiomyocytes, which, via cascading signal transduction pathways and protein kinase A (PKA), increase the heart rate (chronotropy), the strength of myocardial contraction (inotropy), and the rate of myocardial relaxation (lusitropy). These effects correlate with increased intracellular concentration of calcium, which is required for the augmentation of cardiomyocyte contraction. Despite extensive investigations, the molecular mechanisms underlying sympathetic nervous system regulation of calcium influx in cardiomyocytes have remained elusive over the last 40 years. Recent studies have uncovered the mechanisms underlying this fundamental biologic process, namely that PKA phosphorylates a calcium channel inhibitor, Rad, thereby releasing inhibition and increasing calcium influx. Here, we describe an updated model for how signals from adrenergic agonists are transduced to stimulate calcium influx and contractility in the heart.

Abstract
Heart failure is a syndrome in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, resulting from impaired ventricular filling or ejection of blood. Heart failure is still a global public health problem and remains a substantial unmet medical need. Therefore, it is crucial to identify new therapeutic targets for heart failure. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that modulates various cardiac diseases. CaMKII-δ9 is the most abundant CaMKII-δ splice variant in the human heart and acts as a central mediator of DNA damage and cell death in cardiomyocytes. Here, we proved that CaMKII-δ9 mediated cardiomyocyte death promotes cardiomyopathy and heart failure. However, CaMKII-δ9 did not directly regulate cardiac hypertrophy. Furthermore, we also showed that CaMKII-δ9 induced cell death in adult cardiomyocytes through impairing the UBE2T/DNA repair signaling. Finally, we demonstrated no gender difference in the expression of CaMKII-δ9 in the hearts, together with its related cardiac pathology. These findings deepen our understanding of the role of CaMKII-δ9 in cardiac pathology and provide new insights into the mechanisms and therapy of heart failure.

What's New in Cirrhotic Cardiomyopathy?-Review Article. J Pers Med 2021; 11:jpm11121285.

Abstract
Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) is a relatively new medical term. The constant development of novel diagnostic and clinical tools continuously delivers new data and findings about this broad disorder. The purpose of this review is to summarize current facts about CCM, identify gaps of knowledge, and indicate the direction in which to prepare an updated definition of CCM. We performed a review of the literature using scientific data sources with an emphasis on the latest findings. CCM is a clinical manifestation of disorders in the circulatory system in the course of portal hypertension. It is characterized by impaired left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction, and electrophysiological abnormalities, especially QT interval prolongation. However, signs and symptoms reported by patients are non-specific and include reduced exercise tolerance, fatigue, peripheral oedema, and ascites. The disease usually remains asymptomatic with almost normal heart function, unless patients are exposed to stress or exertion. Unfortunately, due to the subclinical course, CCM is rarely recognized. Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx) seems to improve circulatory function although there is no consensus about its positive effect, with reported cases of heart failure onset after transplantation. Researchers indicate a careful pre-, peri-, and post-transplant cardiac assessment as a crucial point in detecting CCM and improving patients’ prognosis. There is also an urgent need to update the CCM definition and establish a diagnostic algorithm for early diagnosis of CCM as well as a specific treatment of this condition.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia (MI) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Therefore, it is urgent to seek the treatment to protect the heart. [8]‐Gingerol (8‐Gin), one of the most active ingredients in ginger, has antioxidant, cardiotonic, and cardiovascular protective properties. The present study elucidated the cardioprotection effects and underlying mechanisms of 8‐Gin in isoproterenol (ISO)‐induced MI. ISO (85 mg/kg/d) was subcutaneously injected for 2 consecutive days to induce acute MI model in rats. Electrocardiography, oxidative stress levels, calcium concentrations, and apoptosis degree were observed. The effects of 8‐Gin on L‐type Ca2+ current (ICa‐L), contraction, and Ca2+ transients were monitored in rat myocytes via patch‐clamp and IonOptix detection systems. 8‐Gin decreased J‐point elevation and heart rate and improved pathological heart damage. Moreover, 8‐Gin reduced the levels of CK, LDH, and MDA, ROS production, and calcium concentrations in myocardial tissue, while increased the activities of SOD, CAT, and GSH. In addition, 8‐Gin down‐regulated Caspase‐3 and Bax expressions, while up‐regulated Bcl‐2 expression. 8‐Gin produced a marked decrease in the expression of p38, JNK, and ERK1/2 proteins. 8‐Gin inhibited ICa‐L, cell contraction, and Ca2+ transients in isolated rat myocytes. The results indicate that 8‐Gin could exert anti‐myocardial ischemic effects, which may be associated with oxidative stress reduction, cardiomyocytes apoptosis inhibition through MAPK signaling pathway, and Ca2+ homeostasis regulation via ICa‐L modulation.

Abstract
Mitochondria are vital to life and provide biological energy for other organelles and cell physiological processes. On the mitochondrial double layer membrane, there are a variety of channels and transporters to transport different metal ions, such as Ca2+, K+, Na+, Mg2+, Zn2+ and Fe2+/Fe3+. Emerging evidence in recent years has shown that the metal ion transport is essential for mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism, including oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), ATP production, mitochondrial integrity, mitochondrial volume, enzyme activity, signal transduction, proliferation and apoptosis. The homeostasis of mitochondrial metal ions plays an important role in maintaining mitochondria and cell functions and regulating multiple diseases. In particular, channels and transporters for transporting mitochondrial metal ions are very critical, which can be used as potential targets to treat neurodegeneration, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and other metabolic diseases. This review summarizes the current research on several types of mitochondrial metal ion channels/transporters and their functions in cell metabolism and diseases, providing strong evidence and therapeutic strategies for further insights into related diseases.

Abstract
Heart failure causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. The understanding of heart failure pathomechanisms and options for treatment remain incomplete. Zebrafish has proven useful for modeling human heart diseases due to similarity of zebrafish and mammalian hearts, fast easily tractable development, and readily available genetic methods. Embryonic cardiac development is rapid and cardiac function is easy to observe and quantify. Reverse genetics, by using morpholinos and CRISPR-Cas9 to modulate gene function, make zebrafish a primary animal model for in vivo studies of candidate genes. Zebrafish are able to effectively regenerate their hearts following injury. However, less attention has been given to using zebrafish models to increase understanding of heart failure and cardiac remodeling, including cardiac hypertrophy and hyperplasia. Here we discuss using zebrafish to study heart failure and cardiac remodeling, and review zebrafish genetic, drug-induced and other heart failure models, discussing the advantages and weaknesses of using zebrafish to model human heart disease. Using zebrafish models will lead to insights on the pathomechanisms of heart failure, with the aim to ultimately provide novel therapies for the prevention and treatment of heart failure.

Abstract
Sepsis is associated with cardiac dysfunction, which is at least in part due to cardiomyocyte apoptosis. However, the underlying mechanisms are far from being understood. Using the colon ascendens stent peritonitis mouse model of sepsis (CASP), we examined the subcellular mechanisms that mediate sepsis‐induced apoptosis. Wild‐type (WT) CASP mice hearts showed an increase in apoptosis respect to WT‐Sham. CASP transgenic mice expressing a CaMKII inhibitory peptide (AC3‐I) were protected against sepsis‐induced apoptosis. Dantrolene, used to reduce ryanodine receptor (RyR) diastolic sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release, prevented apoptosis in WT‐CASP. To examine whether CaMKII‐dependent RyR2 phosphorylation mediates diastolic Ca2+ release and apoptosis in sepsis, we evaluated apoptosis in mutant mice hearts that have the CaMKII phosphorylation site of RyR2 (Serine 2814) mutated to Alanine (S2814A). S2814A CASP mice did not show increased apoptosis. Consistent with RyR2 phosphorylation‐dependent enhancement in diastolic SR Ca2+ release leading to mitochondrial Ca2+ overload, mitochondrial Ca2+ retention capacity was reduced in mitochondria isolated from WT‐CASP compared to Sham and this reduction was absent in mitochondria from CASP S2814A or dantrolene‐treated mice. We conclude that in sepsis, CaMKII‐dependent RyR2 phosphorylation results in diastolic Ca2+ release from SR which leads to mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and apoptosis.

Redox-Resistant SERCA [Sarco(endo)plasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase] Attenuates Oxidant-Stimulated Mitochondrial Calcium and Apoptosis in Cardiac Myocytes and Pressure Overload-Induced Myocardial Failure in Mice. Circulation 2020; 142:2459-2469.

Abstract
BACKGROUND SERCA [sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase] is regulated by oxidative posttranslational modifications at cysteine 674 (C674). Because sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium has been shown to play a critical role in mediating mitochondrial dysfunction in response to reactive oxygen species, we hypothesized that SERCA oxidation at C674 would modulate the effects of reactive oxygen species on mitochondrial calcium and mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in cardiac myocytes. METHODS Adult rat ventricular myocytes expressing wild-type SERCA2b or a redox-insensitive mutant in which C674 is replaced by serine (C674S) were exposed to H2O2 (100 µmol/Lμ). Free mitochondrial calcium concentration was measured in adult rat ventricular myocytes with a genetically targeted fluorescent probe, and SR calcium content was assessed by measuring caffeine-stimulated release. Mice with heterozygous knock-in of the SERCA C674S mutation were subjected to chronic ascending aortic constriction. RESULTS In adult rat ventricular myocytes expressing wild-type SERCA, H2O2 caused a 25% increase in mitochondrial calcium concentration that was associated with a 50% decrease in SR calcium content, both of which were prevented by the ryanodine receptor inhibitor tetracaine. In cells expressing the C674S mutant, basal SR calcium content was decreased by 31% and the H2O2-stimulated rise in mitochondrial calcium concentration was attenuated by 40%. In wild-type cells, H2O2 caused cytochrome c release and apoptosis, both of which were prevented in C674S-expressing cells. In myocytes from SERCA knock-in mice, basal SERCA activity and SR calcium content were decreased. To test the effect of C674 oxidation on apoptosis in vivo, SERCA knock-in mice were subjected to chronic ascending aortic constriction. In wild-type mice, ascending aortic constriction caused myocyte apoptosis, LV dilation, and systolic failure, all of which were inhibited in SERCA knock-in mice. CONCLUSIONS Redox activation of SERCA C674 regulates basal SR calcium content, thereby mediating the pathologic reactive oxygen species-stimulated rise in mitochondrial calcium required for myocyte apoptosis and myocardial failure.

Abstract
β2-Adrenoceptor (β2-AR) agonists are widely used as bronchodilators. The emerge of ultralong acting β2-agonists is an important breakthrough in pulmonary medicine. In this review, we will provide mechanistic insights into the application of β2-agonists in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and heart failure (HF). Recent studies in β-AR signal transduction have revealed opposing functions of the β1-AR and the β2-AR on cardiomyocyte survival. Thus, β2-agonists and β-blockers in combination may represent a novel strategy for HF management. Allosteric modulation and biased agonism at the β2-AR also provide a theoretical basis for developing drugs with novel mechanisms of action and pharmacological profiles. Overlap of COPD and HF presents a substantial clinical challenge but also a unique opportunity for evaluation of the cardiovascular safety of β2-agonists. Further basic and clinical research along these lines can help us develop better drugs and innovative strategies for the management of these difficult-to-treat diseases.

Abstract
: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disease resulting in the loss of dystrophin, a key cytoskeletal protein in the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex. Dystrophin connects the extracellular matrix with the cytoskeleton and stabilizes the sarcolemma. Cardiomyopathy is prominent in adolescents and young adults with DMD, manifesting as dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in the later stages of disease. Sarcolemmal instability, leading to calcium mishandling and overload in the cardiac myocyte, is a key mechanistic contributor to muscle cell death, fibrosis, and diminished cardiac contractile function in DMD patients. Current therapies for DMD cardiomyopathy can slow disease progression, but they do not directly target aberrant calcium handling and calcium overload. Experimental therapeutic targets that address calcium mishandling and overload include membrane stabilization, inhibition of stretch-activated channels, ryanodine receptor stabilization, and augmentation of calcium cycling via modulation of the Serca2a/phospholamban (PLN) complex or cytosolic calcium buffering. This paper addresses what is known about the mechanistic basis of calcium mishandling in DCM, with a focus on DMD cardiomyopathy. Additionally, we discuss currently utilized therapies for DMD cardiomyopathy, and review experimental therapeutic strategies targeting the calcium handling defects in DCM and DMD cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Glycyrrhizic acid (GA) is one of the main active components in licorice and has often been reported to have cardioprotective effects. However, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of this study is to verify the protective effects of GA against isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial ischemia injury in rats. Another aim is to explore the cellular mechanisms based on the L-type Ca2+ channel, myocardial cell contraction, and intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) transient. The results show that GA reduced the ST segment elevation, decreased the heart rate, prevented ISO-induced QT-interval shortening, improved heart morphology, and decreased the activity of CK and LDH. GA blocked ICa-L in a dose-dependent manner. The concentration for 50% of the maximal effect (EC50) of GA was 145.54 μg/mL, and the maximal inhibition was 47.43 ± 0.75% at 1000 μg/mL. However, GA did not affect the dynamical properties of the Ca2+ channel. GA reversibly reduced the amplitude of cell contraction in a dose-dependent manner and slowed down its deflection and recovery, as well as the [Ca2+]i transient. The data demonstrate that GA inhibits L-type Ca2+ channels, decreases the [Ca2+]i transient, and shows a negative cardiac inotropic effect in the ventricular myocardial cells of adult rats. It also protects the myocardia from ischemia injury induced by ISO.

Abstract
We investigated whether magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) mitigated pulmonary hypertension progression in rats. Pulmonary hypertension was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of monocrotaline (60 mg/kg). MgSO4 (100 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally administered daily for 3 weeks, from the seventh day after monocrotaline injection. Adult male rats were randomized into monocrotaline (MCT) or monocrotaline plus MgSO4 (MM) groups (n = 15 per group); control groups were maintained simultaneously. For analysis, surviving rats were euthanized on the 28th day after receiving monocrotaline. The survival rate was higher in the MM group than in the MCT group (100% versus 73.3%, p = 0.043). Levels of pulmonary artery wall thickening, α-smooth muscle actin upregulation, right ventricular systolic pressure increase, and right ventricular hypertrophy were lower in the MM group than in the MCT group (all p < 0.05). Levels of lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial injury, inflammasomes and cytokine upregulation, and apoptosis in the lungs and right ventricle were lower in the MM group than in the MCT group (all p < 0.05). Notably, the mitigation effects of MgSO4 on pulmonary artery wall thickening and right ventricular hypertrophy were counteracted by exogenous calcium chloride. In conclusion, MgSO4 mitigates pulmonary hypertension progression, possibly by antagonizing calcium.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been recently found in the mitochondria, and were named “mitomiRs”, but their function has remained elusive. Here, we aimed to assess the presence and function(s) of mitomiRs in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC). Methods: miRNA microarray was performed in paired TSCC cell lines, Cal27 and its chemoresistant counterpart, Cal27-re. Decreased expression of mitomiRs in chemoresistant cells was characterized. The functions of mitomiRs were investigated by a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. Results: Differential microarray analysis identified downregulation of mitomiR-5787 in Cal27-re cells. We knocked down mitomiR-5787 in parental cells and upregulated its expression in cisplatin-resistant cells. The sensitivity of TSCC cells to cisplatin was regulated by miR-5787. The glucose metabolism assay suggested that reduced expression of miR-5787 changed the balance of glucose metabolism by shifting it from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis. Xenograft experiments in BALB/c-nu mice further verified the in vitro results. Reduced expression of miR-5787 contributes to chemoresistance in TSCC cells by inhibiting the translation of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 3 (MT-CO3). The prognostic analysis of 126 TSCC patients showed that the patients with low expression of miR-5787 and/or MT-CO3 had poor cisplatin sensitivity and prognosis. Conclusions: Mitochondrial miR-5787 could regulate cisplatin resistance of TSCC cells and affect oxidative phosphorylation and aerobic glycolysis. Downregulation of miR-5787 inhibited the translation of MT-CO3 to regulate cisplatin resistance of TSCC. Mitochondrial miR-5787 and MT-CO3 can be used as predictive biomarkers or therapeutic targets for cisplatin chemotherapy resistance.

Abstract
Background RNA interference is among the most important mechanisms that serve to restrict virus replication within mosquitoes, where microRNAs (miRNAs) are important in regulating viral replication and cellular functions. These miRNAs function by binding to complementary sequences mostly in the untranslated regions of the target. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) genome consists of two open reading frames flanked by 5′ and 3′ untranslated regions on the two sides. A recent study from our laboratory has shown that Aedes miRNAs are regulated during CHIKV infection. The present study was undertaken to further understand the role of these miRNAs in CHIKV replication. Methods/Findings We observe that miR-2944b-5p binds to the 3′ untranslated region of CHIKV and the binding is abated when the binding sites are abolished. Loss-of-function studies of miR-2944b-5p using antagomirs, both in vitro and in vivo, reveal an increase in CHIKV viral replication, thereby directly implying a role of miR-2944b-5p in CHIKV replication. We further showed that the mitochondrial membrane potential of the mosquito cells is maintained by this miRNA during CHIKV replication, and cellular factor vps-13 plays a contributing role. Conclusions Our study has opened new avenues to understand vector-virus interactions and provides novel insights into CHIKV replication in Aedes aegypti. Furthermore, our study has shown miR-2944b-5p to be playing role, where one of its target vps-13 also contributes, in maintaining mitochondrial membrane potential in Aedes aegypti. Aedes aegypti mosquito transmits pathogenic viruses like chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Inside the vector, the virus replicates in a way so that it is able to survive within the mosquito without causing damage to it. However, once in the mammalian host, it becomes pathogenic and induces death to the infected cells. Amongst several mosquito specific factors that allows or rejects the virus survival, microRNAs play a decisive role. In several studies, miRNAs have shown to be playing role in controlling virus replication either by binding to viral genome or to suppress the expression of any host factor. In the present study, we identified an Aedes miRNA, miR-2944b-5p, which binds to 3'UTR of CHIKV and regulates the replication of the virus in the mosquito. Analysis of the mode of action of this regulation revealed that miR-2944b-5p played a role in maintaining mitochondrial membrane potential during CHIKV replication by targeting cellular factor vps-13.

Protective Effect of Ginsenoside Rg1 on Oxidative Damage Induced by Hydrogen Peroxide in Chicken Splenic Lymphocytes. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:8465030.

Abstract
Previous investigation showed that ginsenoside Rg1 (Rg1) extracted from Panax ginseng C.A. Mey has antioxidative effect on oxidative stress in chickens. The present study was designed to investigate the protective effects of Rg1 on chicken lymphocytes against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress and the potential mechanisms. Cell viability, apoptotic cells, malondialdehyde, activity of superoxide dismutase, mitochondrial membrane potential, and [Ca2+]i concentration were measured, and transcriptome analysis and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to investigate the effect of Rg1 on gene expression of the cells. The results showed that treatment of lymphocytes with H2O2 induced oxidative stress and apoptosis. However, pretreatment of the cells with Rg1 dramatically enhanced cell viability, reduced apoptotic cells, and decreased oxidative stress induced by H2O2. In addition, Rg1 reduced these H2O2-dependent decreases in mitochondrial membrane potential and reversed [Ca2+]i overload. Transcriptome analysis showed that 323 genes were downregulated and 105 genes were upregulated in Rg1-treated cells. The differentially expressed genes were involved in Toll-like receptors, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor signaling pathway, and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. The present study indicated that Rg1 may act as an antioxidative agent to protect cell damage caused by oxidative stress via regulating expression of genes such as RELT, EDA2R, and TLR4.

Abstract
RATIONALE PKA (Protein Kinase A) is a major mediator of β-AR (β-adrenergic) regulation of cardiac function, but other mediators have also been suggested. Reduced PKA basal activity and activation are linked to cardiac diseases. However, how complete loss of PKA activity impacts on cardiac physiology and if it causes cardiac dysfunction have never been determined. OBJECTIVES We set to determine how the heart adapts to the loss of cardiomyocyte PKA activity and if it elicits cardiac abnormalities. METHODS AND RESULTS (1) Cardiac PKA activity was almost completely inhibited by expressing a PKA inhibitor peptide in cardiomyocytes (cPKAi) in mice; (2) cPKAi reduced basal phosphorylation of 2 myofilament proteins (TnI [troponin I] and cardiac myosin binding protein C), and one longitudinal SR (sarcoplasmic reticulum) protein (PLB [phospholamban]) but not of the sarcolemmal proteins (Cav1.2 α1c and PLM [phospholemman]), dyadic protein RyR2, and nuclear protein CREB (cAMP response element binding protein) at their PKA phosphorylation sites; (3) cPKAi increased the expression of CaMKII (Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II), the Cav1.2 β subunits and current, but decreased CaMKII phosphorylation and CaMKII-mediated phosphorylation of PLB and RyR2; (4) These changes resulted in significantly enhanced myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity, prolonged contraction, slowed relaxation but increased myocyte Ca2+ transient and contraction amplitudes; (5) Isoproterenol-induced PKA and CaMKII activation and their phosphorylation of proteins were prevented by cPKAi; (6) cPKAi abolished the increases of heart rate, and cardiac and myocyte contractility by a β-AR agonist (isoproterenol), showing an important role of PKA and a minimal role of PKA-independent β-AR signaling in acute cardiac regulation; (7) cPKAi mice have partial exercise capability probably by enhancing vascular constriction and ventricular filling during β-AR stimulation; and (8) cPKAi mice did not show any cardiac functional or structural abnormalities during the 1-year study period. CONCLUSIONS PKA activity suppression induces a unique Ca2+ handling phenotype, eliminates β-AR regulation of heart rates and cardiac contractility but does not cause cardiac abnormalities.

Abstract
Ginger has been widely used as a flavor, food, and traditional medicine for centuries. 6-Gingerol (6-Gin) is the active components of ginger and offers some beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases. Here, the effects of 6-Gin on L-type Ca2+ current (ICa-L), contractility, and the Ca2+ transients of rat cardiomyocytes, were investigated via patch-clamp technique and the Ion Optix system. The 6-Gin decreased the ICa-L of normal and ischemic ventricular myocytes by 58.17 ± 1.05% and 55.22 ± 1.34%, respectively. 6-Gin decreased ICa-L in a concentration-dependent manner with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 31.25 μmol/L. At 300 μmol/L, 6-Gin reduced the cell shortening by 48.87 ± 5.44% and the transients by 42.5 ± 9.79%. The results indicate that the molecular mechanisms underlying the cardio-protective effects of 6-Gin may because of a decreasing of intracellular Ca2+ via the inhibition of ICa-L and contractility in rat cardiomyocytes.

High glucose induced calcium overload via impairment of SERCA/PLN pathway and mitochondrial dysfunction leads to oxidative stress in H9c2 cells and amelioration with ferulic acid. Fundam Clin Pharmacol 2019; 33:412-425.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and associated complications are the major pathological concerns of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC). We aim to elucidate the mechanisms by which high glucose (HG) induced alteration in calcium homeostasis and evaluation of the beneficial effect of two concentrations (10 and 25 μm) of ferulic acid (FA). HG was induced in H9c2 cardiomyoblast by treating with glucose (33 mm) for 48 h, and FA was co-treated. Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+ ]i) overload was found increased significantly with HG. For elucidation of mechanism, the SERCA pathway and mitochondrial integrity (transmembrane potential and permeability transition pore) were explored. Then, we assessed oxidative stress, and cell injury with brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. HG caused significant [Ca2+ ]i overload through downregulation of SERCA2/1, pPLN, and pPKA C-α; and upregulation of PLN and PKA C-α and alteration in the integrity of mitochondria with HG. The [Ca2+ ]i overload in turn caused oxidative stress via generation of reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation, and protein carbonylation. This resulted in cell injury which was evident with significant release of BNP, ANP, and LDH. FA co-treatment was effective to mitigate all pathological changes caused by HG. From the overall results, we conclude that [Ca2+ ]i overload via SERCA pathway and altered mitochondrial integrity is the main cause for oxidative stress during HG. Based on our result, we report that FA could be an attractive nutraceutical for DC.

Abstract
Ca2+ channel β-subunit interactions with pore-forming α-subunits are long-thought to be obligatory for channel trafficking to the cell surface and for tuning of basal biophysical properties in many tissues. Unexpectedly, we demonstrate that transgenic expression of mutant α1C subunits lacking capacity to bind CaVβ can traffic to the sarcolemma in adult cardiomyocytes in vivo and sustain normal excitation-contraction coupling. However, these β-less Ca2+ channels cannot be stimulated by β-adrenergic pathway agonists, and thus adrenergic augmentation of contractility is markedly impaired in isolated cardiomyocytes and in hearts. Similarly, viral-mediated expression of a β-subunit-sequestering peptide sharply curtailed β-adrenergic stimulation of WT Ca2+ channels, identifying an approach to specifically modulate β-adrenergic regulation of cardiac contractility. Our data demonstrate that β subunits are required for β-adrenergic regulation of CaV1.2 channels and positive inotropy in the heart, but are dispensable for CaV1.2 trafficking to the adult cardiomyocyte cell surface, and for basal function and excitation-contraction coupling.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy is a major risk for the progression of heart failure; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms contributing to this process remain elusive. The caveolae microdomain plays pivotal roles in various cellular processes such as lipid homeostasis, signal transduction, and endocytosis, and also serves as a signaling platform. Although the caveolae microdomain has been postulated to have a major contribution to the development of cardiac pathologies, including cardiac hypertrophy, recent evidence has placed this role into question. Lack of direct evidence and appropriate methods for determining activation of caveolae-specific signaling has thus far limited the ability to obtain a definite answer to the question. In this review, we focus on the potential physiological and pathological roles of the multifunctional kinase Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II and voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel in the caveolae, toward gaining a better understanding of the contribution of caveolae-based signaling in cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Injection of snakegourd peel (SP), an herb used in traditional Chinese medicine, is used to treat coronary artery disease and stable angina in China. However, its therapeutic role and mechanism of action for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI) is not fully understood. PURPOSE The present study was designed to investigate the effect of SP on MI-induced cardiac injury and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS To create an in vivo model of MI, we ligated the left coronary artery of Wistar rats. For our in vitro model of MI, we treated primary neonatal rat ventricular myocytes with hypoxia. Myocardial infarct size was measured by triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Intracellular calcium concentration (Ca2+) was measured by confocal microscopy, and cardiomyocyte apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL assay. Western blot was applied to determine protein levels. RESULTS Three days post-MI, SP significantly improved MI-induced impairment of cardiac function, as indicated by increased left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), maximum rate of left ventricular pressure rise and fall (± dp/dt max), and decreased left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP). In addition, SP treatment markedly reduced the infarct size and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity; inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis and Caspase-3 activation both in vivo and in vitro; and decreased intracellular calcium overload, Cav1.2, phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK), and p38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK) levels in ischemic myocardium. CONCLUSION SP alleviated cardiac ischemic injury and inhibited cardiomyocyte apoptosis by attenuating intracellular calcium overload, suppressing Caspase-3 activation, and downregulating protein expression of p-JNK and p-p38MAPK. These results suggest that SP may serve as a potential novel therapeutic drug for MI.

Abstract
Classic cardiac surgery, determined through the function of cardiopulmonary bypass machine and myocardial cardioplegic arrest, represents the most controlled scenario for cardiomyocyte homeostatic disturbances due to systemic inflammatory response and myocardial reperfusion injury. An increasing number of studies have demonstrated that myocardial cell homeostasis in cardiac surgery procedures is a sequence of molecularly interrelated and overlapping mechanisms in the form of apoptosis, autophagy and necrosis, which are activated by a plethora of induced inflammatory mediators and gene-related signaling pathways. In this study, we outline the molecular mechanisms of the cardiomyocyte adaptive homeostatic process and the associated clinical implications, in the settings of classic cardiac surgery procedures.

Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate inhibits L-type Ca 2+ channels, Ca 2+ transients, and contractility but not hERG K + channels. Arch Pharm Res 2017; 40:1135-1145. [PMID: 28766238 DOI: 10.1007/s12272-017-0938-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2017] [Accepted: 07/27/2017] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
To explore the cardiovascular protective effects of Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MI), especially the underlying cellular mechanisms related to L-type calcium channels and myocardial contractility, and to examine the effects of MI on hERG K+ current expressed in HEK293 cells. We used the whole-cell patch clamp technique, video-based edge detection and dual excitation fluorescence photomultiplier systems to explore the effect of MI on L-type Ca2+ currents (ICa-L) and cell contraction in rat cardiomyocytes. We also examined the rapidly activating delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr) expressed in HEK293 cells using a perforated patch clamp. MI inhibited ICa-L in a dose-dependent manner, with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 0.22 mg/ml, and the maximal inhibitory effect was 61.10 ± 0.59%. MI at a concentration of 0.3 mg/ml reduced cell shortening by 24.12 ± 3.97% and the peak value of the Ca2+ transient by 36.54 ± 4.96%. MI had no significant influence on hERG K+ channels expressed in HEK293 cells at all test potentials. MI exerts protective effects on the heart via the inhibition of ICa-L and cell shortening in rat cardiomyocytes. However, MI had no significant influence on IKr; thus, MI may exert cardioprotective effects without causing drug-induced long QT syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult mammalian hearts have a limited ability to generate new cardiomyocytes. Proliferation of existing adult cardiomyocytes (ACMs) is a potential source of new cardiomyocytes. Understanding the fundamental biology of ACM proliferation could be of great clinical significance for treating myocardial infarction (MI). We aim to understand the process and regulation of ACM proliferation and its role in new cardiomyocyte formation of post-MI mouse hearts. METHODS β-Actin-green fluorescent protein transgenic mice and fate-mapping Myh6-MerCreMer-tdTomato/lacZ mice were used to trace the fate of ACMs. In a coculture system with neonatal rat ventricular myocytes, ACM proliferation was documented with clear evidence of cytokinesis observed with time-lapse imaging. Cardiomyocyte proliferation in the adult mouse post-MI heart was detected by cell cycle markers and 5-ethynyl-2-deoxyuridine incorporation analysis. Echocardiography was used to measure cardiac function, and histology was performed to determine infarction size. RESULTS In vitro, mononucleated and bi/multinucleated ACMs were able to proliferate at a similar rate (7.0%) in the coculture. Dedifferentiation proceeded ACM proliferation, which was followed by redifferentiation. Redifferentiation was essential to endow the daughter cells with cardiomyocyte contractile function. Intercellular propagation of Ca2+ from contracting neonatal rat ventricular myocytes into ACM daughter cells was required to activate the Ca2+-dependent calcineurin-nuclear factor of activated T-cell signaling pathway to induce ACM redifferentiation. The properties of neonatal rat ventricular myocyte Ca2+ transients influenced the rate of ACM redifferentiation. Hypoxia impaired the function of gap junctions by dephosphorylating its component protein connexin 43, the major mediator of intercellular Ca2+ propagation between cardiomyocytes, thereby impairing ACM redifferentiation. In vivo, ACM proliferation was found primarily in the MI border zone. An ischemia-resistant connexin 43 mutant enhanced the redifferentiation of ACM-derived new cardiomyocytes after MI and improved cardiac function. CONCLUSIONS Mature ACMs can reenter the cell cycle and form new cardiomyocytes through a 3-step process: dedifferentiation, proliferation, and redifferentiation. Intercellular Ca2+ signal from neighboring functioning cardiomyocytes through gap junctions induces the redifferentiation process. This novel mechanism contributes to new cardiomyocyte formation in post-MI hearts in mammals.
