Abstract
Molecular imaging can detect and quantify pathophysiological processes underlying heart failure, complementing evaluation of cardiac structure and function with other imaging modalities. Targeted tracers have enabled assessment of various cellular and subcellular mechanisms of heart failure aiming for improved phenotyping, risk stratification, and personalized therapy. This review outlines the current status of molecular imaging in heart failure, accompanied with discussion on novel developments. The focus is on radionuclide methods with data from clinical studies. Imaging of myocardial metabolism can identify left ventricle dysfunction caused by myocardial ischemia that may be reversible after revascularization in the presence of viable myocardium. In vivo imaging of active inflammation and amyloid deposition have an established role in the detection of cardiac sarcoidosis and transthyretin amyloidosis. Innervation imaging has well documented prognostic value in predicting heart failure progression and arrhythmias. Tracers specific for inflammation, angiogenesis and myocardial fibrotic activity are in earlier stages of development, but have demonstrated potential value in early characterization of the response to myocardial injury and prediction of cardiac function over time. Early detection of disease activity is a key for transition from medical treatment of clinically overt heart failure towards a personalized approach aimed at supporting repair and preventing progressive cardiac dysfunction.

Suppression of RCAN1 alleviated lipid accumulation and mitochondrial fission in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Metabolism 2024; 158:155977.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although metabolic disturbance is a characteristic of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM), the detailed pathogenesis of DbCM remains unknown. METHODS We used a heart transplantation (HTx) cohort to explore the effect of diabetes mellitus on heart failure (HF) progression dependent of myocardium. Microscopic and ultramicroscopic pathology were used to depict the pathological features of human myocardium of DbCM. We performed targeted metabolomics to characterize the metabolic phenotype of human DbCM. Transcriptomics data were analyzed and weighted gene co-expression network analysis was performed to explore the potential upstream regulator for metabolic remodeling of DbCM. In vivo and in vitro experiments were further conducted to demonstrate the therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms. RESULTS DbCM promoted the progression of HF and increased death or HF-rehospitalization after HTx. Lipid accumulation and mitochondrial fission were the obvious pathological features of DbCM myocardium. The concentrations of C14:0-CoA and C16:1-CoA were significantly increased in the myocardium, and they were positively correlated with the accelerated HF progression and RCAN1 expression in DbCM patients. Knockdown of RCAN1 improved cardiac dysfunction, lipid accumulation, and mitochondrial fission in db/db mice. In vitro studies showed that RCAN1 knockdown improved mitochondrial dysfunction in DbCM cardiomyocytes via the RCAN1-p-Drp1 Ser616 axis. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes is associated with faster progression of HF and causes poor prognosis after HTx, accompanied by metabolic remodeling in the myocardium. Accumulation of long chain acyl-CoA in the myocardium is the metabolic hallmark of human DbCM and is associated with more rapid disease progression for DbCM patients. Upregulation of RCAN1 in the myocardium is associated with the metabolic signatures of DbCM and RCAN1 is a potential therapeutic target for DbCM.

Inhibition of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V alleviates diabetic cardiomyopathy in mice by attenuating cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. Nutr Metab (Lond) 2024; 21:53. [PMID: 39080739 PMCID: PMC11290217 DOI: 10.1186/s12986-024-00797-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy is closely linked to abnormal glycosylation modifications. N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V), which catalyzes the production of N-linked -1-6 branching of oligosaccharides, is involved in several pathophysiological mechanisms of many disorders, including cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. However, the mechanism by which GnT-V regulates cardiac hypertrophy in diabetic cardiomyopathy is currently poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the role of GnT-V on myocardial hypertrophy in diabetic cardiomyopathy and elucidated the underlying mechanisms. MATERIAL AND METHODS Streptozotocin (STZ) was intraperitoneally injected into mice to induce diabetic cardiomyopathy. An adeno-associated virus (AAV) carrying negative control small hairpin RNA (shNC) or GnT-V-specifc small hairpin RNA (shGnT-V) was used to manipulate GnT-V expression. In our study, forty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups (10 mice per group): control mice with AAV-shNC, diabetic cardiomyopathy mice with AAV-shNC, control mice with AAV-shGnT-V, and diabetic cardiomyopathy mice with AAV-shGnT-V. In addition, H9C2 cells and primary neonatal cardiac fibroblasts treated with high glucose were used as a cell model of diabetes. Analysis of cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, as well as functional studies, were used to investigate the underlying molecular pathways. RESULTS AAV-mediated GnT-V silencing dramatically improved cardiac function and alleviated myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis in diabetic mice. In vitro experiments demonstrated that GnT-V was elevated in cardiomyocytes and induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in response to high glucose stimulation. GnT-V knockdown significantly reduced the expression of the integrinβ1 signaling pathway, as evidenced by decreased downstream ERK1/2 activity, which inhibited cardiomyocyte hypertrophy accompanied by reduced ANP, BNP, and β-MHC expression. Furthermore, knocking down GnT-V expression lowered the TGF-β1-Smads signaling pathway, which reduced the expression of α-SMA, collagen I, and collagen III. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our research indicated that GnT-V may be a useful therapeutic target to treat diabetic cardiomyopathy, primarily in the inhibition of myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cardiovascular complication of diabetes, which may threaten the quality of life and shorten life expectancy in the diabetic population. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the diabetes cardiomyopathy are not fully elucidated. We analyzed two datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Differentially expressed and weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) was used to screen key genes and molecules. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis were constructed to identify hub genes. The diagnostic value of the hub gene was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC). Quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to validate the hub genes. A total of 13 differentially co-expressed modules were selected by WGCNA and differential expression analysis. KEGG and GO analysis showed these DEGs were mainly enriched in lipid metabolism and myocardial hypertrophy pathway, cytomembrane, and mitochondrion. As a result, six genes were identified as hub genes. Finally, five genes (Pdk4, Lipe, Serpine1, Igf1r, and Bcl2l1) were found significantly changed in both the validation dataset and experimental mice with DCM. In conclusion, the present study identified five genes that may help provide novel targets for diagnosing and treating DCM.

Polygonatum sibiricum (Huang Jing) polysaccharide reduces diabetic cardiomyopathy through increasing cyclic guanosine monophosphate-protein kinase G signaling in diabetic mice. J Diabetes Investig 2024; 15:823-834.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a prevalent condition among individuals with diabetes, and is associated with a high mortality rate. The anti-oxidant properties of Jing Huang or Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) have been extensively used to treat diabetes-related disorders; however, its potential effectiveness against DCM remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate PSP's therapeutic effects on DCM in an experimental diabetic mouse model. MATERIALS AND METHODS To induce insulin resistance, mice were fed a high-fat diet for 3 months, followed by intraperitoneal streptozotocin injection to induce slight hyperglycemia and develop DCM. Both DCM and control mice were given PSP orally for 3 weeks. Western blotting was used to detect the protein expressions of protein kinase G, C/EBP homologous protein, glucose-regulated protein 78, phosphodiesterase type 5, protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum (ER) kinase, and phospho-protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase in heart tissue. RESULTS The results showed a reduction in bodyweight and blood glucose levels in the PSP therapy group compared with DCM group. PSP also improved cardiac function and had a negligible effect on malondialdehyde activity. Furthermore, the findings showed that PSP alleviated ER and oxidative stress observed in DCM mice hearts, leading to the inhibition of cyclic guanosine monophosphate-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 and cardiac cyclic guanosine monophosphate reactivation. Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibition reduced high-fat diet-induced cardiac dysfunction and decreased ER stress. CONCLUSIONS PSP could effectively protect diabetic myocardium by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress. These findings provide crucial insights into the potential of PSP to ameliorate DCM conditions in diabetic mice by decreasing ER and oxidative stress, and enhancing cyclic guanosine monophosphate protein kinase G signaling.

Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells improve myocardial fibrosis and restore miRNA-133a expression in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Stem Cell Res Ther 2024; 15:120. [PMID: 38659015 PMCID: PMC11040946 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-024-03715-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a serious health-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus characterized by myocardial fibrosis and abnormal cardiac function. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells (hUC-MSCs) are a potential therapeutic tool for DCM and myocardial fibrosis via mechanisms such as the regulation of microRNA (miRNA) expression and inflammation. It remains unclear, however, whether hUC-MSC therapy has beneficial effects on cardiac function following different durations of diabetes and which mechanistic aspects of DCM are modulated by hUC-MSC administration at different stages of its development. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of intravenous administration of hUC-MSCs on DCM following different durations of hyperglycemia in an experimental male model of diabetes and to determine the effects on expression of candidate miRNAs, target mRNA and inflammatory mediators. METHODS A male mouse model of diabetes was induced by multiple low-dose streptozotocin injections. The effects on severity of DCM of intravenous injections of hUC-MSCs and saline two weeks previously were compared at 10 and 18 weeks after diabetes induction. At both time-points, biochemical assays, echocardiography, histopathology, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were used to analyze blood glucose, body weight, cardiac structure and function, degree of myocardial fibrosis and expression of fibrosis-related mRNA, miRNA and inflammatory mediators. RESULTS Saline-treated diabetic male mice had impaired cardiac function and increased cardiac fibrosis after 10 and 18 weeks of diabetes. At both time-points, cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis were improved in hUC-MSC-treated mice. Pro-fibrotic indicators (α-SMA, collagen I, collagen III, Smad3, Smad4) were reduced and anti-fibrotic mediators (FGF-1, miRNA-133a) were increased in hearts of diabetic animals receiving hUC-MSCs compared to saline. Increased blood levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF, IL-1β) and increased cardiac expression of IL-6 were also observed in saline-treated mice and were reduced by hUC-MSCs at both time-points, but to a lesser degree at 18 weeks. CONCLUSION Intravenous injection of hUC-MSCs ameliorated key functional and structural features of DCM in male mice with diabetes of shorter and longer duration. Mechanistically, these effects were associated with restoration of intra-myocardial expression of miRNA-133a and its target mRNA COL1AI as well as suppression of systemic and localized inflammatory mediators.

Abstract
Unhealthy sources of fats, ultra-processed foods with added sugars, and a sedentary lifestyle make humans more susceptible to developing overweight and obesity. While lipids constitute an integral component of the organism, excessive and abnormal lipid accumulation that exceeds the storage capacity of lipid droplets disrupts the intracellular composition of fatty acids and results in the release of deleterious lipid species, thereby giving rise to a pathological state termed lipotoxicity. This condition induces endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammatory responses, and cell death. Recent advances in omics technologies and analytical methodologies and clinical research have provided novel insights into the mechanisms of lipotoxicity, including gut dysbiosis, epigenetic and epitranscriptomic modifications, dysfunction of lipid droplets, post-translational modifications, and altered membrane lipid composition. In this review, we discuss the recent knowledge on the mechanisms underlying the development of lipotoxicity and lipotoxic cardiometabolic disease in obesity, with a particular focus on lipotoxic and diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is associated with cardiovascular complications. microRNAs translocate into subcellular organelles to modify genes involved in diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, functional properties of subcellular AGO2 (Argonaute2), a core member of miRNA machinery, remain elusive. METHODS We elucidated the function and mechanism of subcellular localized AGO2 on mouse models for diabetes and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Recombinant adeno-associated virus type 9 was used to deliver AGO2 to mice through the tail vein. Cardiac structure and functions were assessed by echocardiography and catheter manometer system. RESULTS AGO2 was decreased in mitochondria of diabetic cardiomyocytes. Overexpression of mitochondrial AGO2 attenuated diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction. AGO2 recruited TUFM, a mitochondria translation elongation factor, to activate translation of electron transport chain subunits and decrease reactive oxygen species. Malonylation, a posttranslational modification of AGO2, reduced the importing of AGO2 into mitochondria in diabetic cardiomyopathy. AGO2 malonylation was regulated by a cytoplasmic-localized short isoform of SIRT3 through a previously unknown demalonylase function. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reveal that the SIRT3-AGO2-CYTB axis links glucotoxicity to cardiac electron transport chain imbalance, providing new mechanistic insights and the basis to develop mitochondria targeting therapies for diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major factor in the development of heart failure. Mitochondria play a crucial role in regulating insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and inflammation, which affect the progression of DCM. Regular exercise can induce altered non-coding RNA (ncRNA) expression, which subsequently affects gene expression and protein function. The mechanism of exercise-induced mitochondrial-related non-coding RNA network in the regulation of DCM remains unclear. This study seeks to construct an innovative exercise-induced mitochondrial-related ncRNA network. Bioinformatic analysis of RNA sequencing data from an exercise rat model identified 144 differentially expressed long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) with cutoff criteria of p< 0.05 and fold change ≥1.0. GSE6880 and GSE4745 were the differentially expressed mRNAs from the left ventricle of DCM rat that downloaded from the GEO database. Combined with the differentially expressed mRNA and MitoCarta 3.0 dataset, the mitochondrial located gene Pdk4 was identified as a target gene. The miRNA prediction analysis using miRanda and TargetScan confirmed that 5 miRNAs have potential to interact with the 144 lncRNA. The novel lncRNA-miRNA-Pdk4 network was constructed for the first time. According to the functional protein association network, the newly created exercise-induced ncRNA network may serve as a promising diagnostic marker and therapeutic target, providing a fresh perspective to understand the molecular mechanism of different exercise types for the prevention and treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major contributor to mortality in diabetic patients, characterized by a multifaceted pathogenesis and limited therapeutic options. While lactate, a byproduct of glycolysis, is known to be significantly elevated in type 2 diabetes, its specific role in DCM remains uncertain. This study reveals an abnormal upregulation of monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) on the plasma membrane of cardiomyocytes in type 2 diabetes, leading to excessive lactate efflux from these cells. The disruption in lactate transport homeostasis perturbs the intracellular lactate-pyruvate balance in cardiomyocytes, resulting in oxidative stress and inflammatory responses that exacerbate myocardial damage. Additionally, our findings suggest increased lactate efflux augments histone H4K12 lactylation in macrophages, facilitating inflammatory infiltration within the microenvironment. In vivo experiments have demonstrated that inhibiting MCT4 effectively alleviates myocardial oxidative stress and pathological damage, reduces inflammatory macrophage infiltration, and enhances cardiac function in type 2 diabetic mice. Furthermore, a clinical prediction model has been established, demonstrating a notable association between peripheral blood lactate levels and diastolic dysfunction in individuals with type 2 diabetes. This underscores the potential of lactate as a prognostic biomarker for DCM. Ultimately, our findings highlight the pivotal involvement of MCT4 in the dysregulation of cardiac energy metabolism and macrophage-mediated inflammation in type 2 diabetes. These insights offer novel perspectives on the pathogenesis of DCM and pave the way for the development of targeted therapeutic strategies against this debilitating condition.

Abstract
Digital PET/CT systems with a long axial field of view have become available and are emerging as the current state of the art. These new camera systems provide wider anatomic coverage, leading to major increases in system sensitivity. Preliminary results have demonstrated improvements in image quality and quantification, as well as substantial advantages in tracer kinetic modeling from dynamic imaging. These systems also potentially allow for low-dose examinations and major reductions in acquisition time. Thereby, they hold great promise to improve PET-based interrogation of cardiac physiology and biology. Additionally, the whole-body coverage enables simultaneous assessment of multiple organs and the large vascular structures of the body, opening new opportunities for imaging systemic mechanisms, disorders, or treatments and their interactions with the cardiovascular system as a whole. The aim of this perspective document is to debate the potential applications, challenges, opportunities, and remaining challenges of applying PET/CT with a long axial field of view to the field of cardiovascular disease.

Beyond the beat: A pioneering investigation into exercise modalities for alleviating diabetic cardiomyopathy and enhancing cardiac health. Curr Probl Cardiol 2024; 49:102222.

Abstract
Patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease or those at high risk for developing the condition are often offered exercise as a form of therapy. Patients with cancer who are at an increased risk for cardiovascular issues are increasingly encouraged to participate in exercise-based, interdisciplinary programs due to the positive correlation between these interventions and clinical outcomes following myocardial infarction. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC) is a cardiac disorder that arises due to disruptions in the homeostasis of individuals with diabetes. One of the primary reasons for mortality in individuals with diabetes is the presence of cardiac structural damage and functional abnormalities, which are the primary pathological features of DC. The aetiology of dilated cardiomyopathy is multifaceted and encompasses a range of processes, including metabolic abnormalities, impaired mitochondrial function, dysregulation of calcium ion homeostasis, excessive cardiomyocyte death, and fibrosis. In recent years, many empirical investigations have demonstrated that exercise training substantially impacts the prevention and management of diabetes. Exercise has been found to positively impact the recovery of diabetes and improve several metabolic problem characteristics associated with DC. One potential benefit of exercise is its ability to increase systolic activity, which can enhance cardiometabolic and facilitate the repair of structural damage to the heart caused by DC, leading to a direct improvement in cardiac health. In contrast, exercise has the potential to indirectly mitigate the pathological progression of DC through its ability to decrease circulating levels of sugar and fat while concurrently enhancing insulin sensitivity. A more comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanism via exercise facilitates the restoration of DC disease must be understood. Our goal in this review was to provide helpful information and clues for developing new therapeutic techniques for motion alleviation DC by examining the molecular mechanisms involved.

Abstract
Iron overload increases the production of harmful reactive oxygen species in the Fenton reaction, which causes oxidative stress in the body and lipid peroxidation in the cell membrane, and eventually leads to ferroptosis. Diabetes is associated with increased intracellular oxidative stress, inflammation, autophagy, microRNA alterations, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which cause cardiac remodeling and cardiac diastolic contractile dysfunction, leading to the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). While these factors are also closely associated with ferroptosis, more and more studies have shown that iron-mediated ferroptosis is an important causative factor in DCM. In order to gain fresh insights into the functions of ferroptosis in DCM, this review methodically summarizes the traits and mechanisms connected with ferroptosis and DCM.

Preclinical Evidence for the Effectiveness of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells for Diabetic Cardiomyopathy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Curr Stem Cell Res Ther 2024; 19:220-233. [PMID: 37165495 DOI: 10.2174/1574888x18666230510111302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a complication of diabetes mellitus that endangers human health. DCM results in cardiac dysfunction, which eventually progresses to heart failure. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), a type of multipotent stem cell, have shown promising therapeutic effects in various cardiovascular diseases and diabetic complications in preclinical studies due to their immunomodulatory and regenerative abilities. However, there is still a lack of evidence to summarize the effectiveness of MSCs in the treatment of DCM. Therefore, a meta-analysis and systematic review are warranted to evaluate the therapeutic potential of MSCs for DCM in preclinical studies. METHODS A comprehensive literature search in English or Chinese was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, web of Science, Cochrane Library, and China National Knowledge Internet from inception to June 30, 2022. The summarized outcomes included echocardiography, morphology, and pathology. Data were independently extracted and analyzed by two authors. The software we adopted was Review Manager5.4.1. This systematic review was written in compliance with PRISMA 2020 and the review protocol was registered on PROSPERO, registration no. CRD42022350032. RESULTS We included 20 studies in our meta-analysis to examine the efficacy of MSCs in the treatment of DCM. The MSC-treated group showed a statistically significant effect on left ventricular ejection fraction (WMD=12.61, 95% CI 4.32 to 20.90, P=0.003) and short axis fractional shortening (WMD=6.84, 95% CI 4.09 to 9.59, P < 0.00001). The overall effects on the ratio of early to late diastolic mitral annular velocity, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, maximum positive pressure development, maximum negative pressure development, left ventricular relaxation time constant, heart weight to body weight ratio, fibrosis area, and arteriole density were analyzed, suggesting that MSCs represent an effective therapy for the treatment of DCM. CONCLUSION Our results suggest a therapeutic role for MSCs in the treatment of DCM, and these results provide support for the use of MSCs in clinical trials of patients with DCM.

Abstract
Significance: Heart failure is often accompanied by a decrease in the number of cardiomyocytes. Although the adult mammalian hearts have limited regenerative capacity, the rate of regeneration is extremely low and decreases with age. Exercise is an effective means to improve cardiovascular function and prevent cardiovascular diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms of how exercise acts on cardiomyocytes are still not fully elucidated. Therefore, it is important to explore the role of exercise in cardiomyocytes and cardiac regeneration. Recent Advances: Recent advances have shown that the effects of exercise on cardiomyocytes are critical for cardiac repair and regeneration. Exercise can induce cardiomyocyte growth by increasing the size and number. It can induce physiological cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and promote cardiomyocyte proliferation. In this review, we have discussed the molecular mechanisms and recent studies of exercise-induced cardiac regeneration, with a focus on its effects on cardiomyocytes. Critical Issues: There is no effective way to promote cardiac regeneration. Moderate exercise can keep the heart healthy by encouraging adult cardiomyocytes to survive and regenerate. Therefore, exercise could be a promising tool for stimulating the regenerative capability of the heart and keeping the heart healthy. Future Directions: Although exercise is an important measure to promote cardiomyocyte growth and subsequent cardiac regeneration, more studies are needed on how to do beneficial exercise and what factors are involved in cardiac repair and regeneration. Thus, it is important to clarify the mechanisms, pathways, and other critical factors involved in the exercise-mediated cardiac repair and regeneration. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 39, 1088-1107.

Effects of diabetes mellitus on left ventricular function and deformation in patients with restrictive cardiomyopathies: a 3.0T CMR feature tracking study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:317. [PMID: 37985989 PMCID: PMC10662686 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02033-w] [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: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common metabolic disease worldwide and a major risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events, while the additive effects of DM on left ventricular (LV) deformation in the restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) cohort remain unclear. Accordingly, we aimed to investigate the additive effects of DM on LV deformation in patients with RCM. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred thirty-six RCM patients without DM [RCM(DM-)], 46 with DM [RCM (DM+)], and 66 age- and sex-matched control subjects who underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) scanning were included. LV function, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) type, and LV global peak strains (including radial, circumferential, and longitudinal directions) were measured. The determinant of reduced LV global myocardial strain for all RCM patients was assessed using multivariable linear regression analyses. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was performed to illustrate the relationship between DM and decreased LV deformation. RESULTS Compared with the control group, RCM (DM-) and RCM(DM+) patients presented increased LV end-diastolic index and end-systolic volume index and decreased LV ejection fraction. LV GPS in all three directions and longitudinal PDSR progressively declined from the control group to the RCM(DM-) group to the RCM(DM+) group (all p < 0.05). DM was an independent determinant of impaired LV GPS in the radial, circumferential, and longitudinal directions and longitudinal PDSR (β = - 0.217, 0.176, 0.253, and - 0.263, all p < 0.05) in RCM patients. The multiparameter combination, including DM, showed an AUC of 0.81(95% CI 0.75-0.87) to predict decreased LV GLPS and an AUC of 0.69 (95% CI 0.62-0.76) to predict decreased LV longitudinal PDSR. CONCLUSIONS DM may have an additive deleterious effect on LV dysfunction in patients with RCM, especially diastolic dysfunction in RCM patients, indicating the importance of early identification and initiation of treatment of DM in patients with RCM.

Treatment with recombinant Sirt1 rewires the cardiac lipidome and rescues diabetes-related metabolic cardiomyopathy. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:312. [PMID: 37957697 PMCID: PMC10644415 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02057-2] [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: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic cardiomyopathy (MCM), characterized by intramyocardial lipid accumulation, drives the progression to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Although evidence suggests that the mammalian silent information regulator 1 (Sirt1) orchestrates myocardial lipid metabolism, it is unknown whether its exogenous administration could avoid MCM onset. We investigated whether chronic treatment with recombinant Sirt1 (rSirt1) could halt MCM progression. METHODS db/db mice, an established model of MCM, were supplemented with intraperitoneal rSirt1 or vehicle for 4 weeks and compared with their db/ + heterozygous littermates. At the end of treatment, cardiac function was assessed by cardiac ultrasound and left ventricular samples were collected and processed for molecular analysis. Transcriptional changes were evaluated using a custom PCR array. Lipidomic analysis was performed by mass spectrometry. H9c2 cardiomyocytes exposed to hyperglycaemia and treated with rSirt1 were used as in vitro model of MCM to investigate the ability of rSirt1 to directly target cardiomyocytes and modulate malondialdehyde levels and caspase 3 activity. Myocardial samples from diabetic and nondiabetic patients were analysed to explore Sirt1 expression levels and signaling pathways. RESULTS rSirt1 treatment restored cardiac Sirt1 levels and preserved cardiac performance by improving left ventricular ejection fraction, fractional shortening and diastolic function (E/A ratio). In left ventricular samples from rSirt1-treated db/db mice, rSirt1 modulated the cardiac lipidome: medium and long-chain triacylglycerols, long-chain triacylglycerols, and triacylglycerols containing only saturated fatty acids were reduced, while those containing docosahexaenoic acid were increased. Mechanistically, several genes involved in lipid trafficking, metabolism and inflammation, such as Cd36, Acox3, Pparg, Ncoa3, and Ppara were downregulated by rSirt1 both in vitro and in vivo. In humans, reduced cardiac expression levels of Sirt1 were associated with higher intramyocardial triacylglycerols and PPARG-related genes. CONCLUSIONS In the db/db mouse model of MCM, chronic exogenous rSirt1 supplementation rescued cardiac function. This was associated with a modulation of the myocardial lipidome and a downregulation of genes involved in lipid metabolism, trafficking, inflammation, and PPARG signaling. These findings were confirmed in the human diabetic myocardium. Treatments that increase Sirt1 levels may represent a promising strategy to prevent myocardial lipid abnormalities and MCM development.

Abstract
Recently, PET systems with a long axial field of view have become the current state of the art. Total-body PET scanners enable unique possibilities for scientific research and clinical diagnostics, but this new technology also raises numerous challenges. A key advantage of total-body imaging is that having all the organs in the field of view allows studying biologic interaction of all organs simultaneously. One of the new, promising imaging techniques is total-body quantitative perfusion imaging. Currently, 15O-labeled water provides a feasible option for quantitation of tissue perfusion at the total-body level. This review summarizes the status of the methodology and the analysis and provides examples of preliminary findings on applications of quantitative parametric perfusion images for research and clinical work. We also describe the opportunities and challenges arising from moving from single-organ studies to modeling of a multisystem approach with total-body PET, and we discuss future directions for total-body imaging.

Abstract
Nuclear imaging techniques can detect and quantify pathophysiological processes underlying heart failure, complementing evaluation of cardiac structure and function with other imaging modalities. Combined imaging of myocardial perfusion and metabolism can identify left ventricle dysfunction caused by myocardial ischaemia that may be reversible after revascularization in the presence of viable myocardium. High sensitivity of nuclear imaging to detect targeted tracers has enabled assessment of various cellular and subcellular mechanisms of heart failure. Nuclear imaging of active inflammation and amyloid deposition is incorporated into clinical management algorithms of cardiac sarcoidosis and amyloidosis. Innervation imaging has well-documented prognostic value with respect to heart failure progression and arrhythmias. Emerging tracers specific for inflammation and myocardial fibrotic activity are in earlier stages of development but have demonstrated potential value in early characterization of the response to myocardial injury and prediction of adverse left ventricular remodelling. Early detection of disease activity is a key for transition from broad medical treatment of clinically overt heart failure towards a personalized approach aimed at supporting repair and preventing progressive failure. This review outlines the current status of nuclear imaging in phenotyping heart failure and combines it with discussion on novel developments.

The tyrosine kinase inhibitor Dasatinib reduces cardiac steatosis and fibrosis in obese, type 2 diabetic mice. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:214.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac steatosis is an early yet overlooked feature of diabetic cardiomyopathy. There is no available therapy to treat this condition. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are used as first or second-line therapy in different types of cancer. In cancer patients with diabetes mellitus, TKIs reportedly improved glycemic control, allowing insulin discontinuation. They also reduced liver steatosis in a murine model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The present study aimed to determine the therapeutic effect of the second-generation TKI Dasatinib on lipid accumulation and cardiac function in obese, type 2 diabetic mice. We also assessed if the drug impacts extra-cardiac fat tissue depots. METHODS Two studies on 21-week-old male obese leptin receptor mutant BKS.Cg-+Leprdb/+Leprdb/OlaHsd (db/db) mice compared the effect of Dasatinib (5 mg/kg) and vehicle (10% DMSO + 90% PEG-300) given via gavage once every three days for a week or once every week for four weeks. Functional and volumetric indices were studied using echocardiography. Post-mortem analyses included the assessment of fat deposits and fibrosis using histology, and senescence using immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry. The anti-adipogenic action of Dasatinib was investigated on human bone marrow (BM)-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Unpaired parametric or non-parametric tests were used to compare two and multiple groups as appropriate. RESULTS Dasatinib reduced steatosis and fibrosis in the heart of diabetic mice. The drug also reduced BM adiposity but did not affect other fat depots. These structural changes were associated with improved diastolic indexes, specifically the E/A ratio and non-flow time. Moreover, Dasatinib-treated mice had lower levels of p16 in the heart compared with vehicle-treated controls, suggesting an inhibitory impact of the drug on the senescence signalling pathway. In vitro, Dasatinib inhibited human BM-MSC viability and adipogenesis commitment. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that Dasatinib opposes heart and BM adiposity and cardiac fibrosis. In the heart, this was associated with favourable functional consequences, namely improvement in an index of diastolic function. Repurposing TKI for cardiac benefit could address the unmet need of diabetic cardiac steatosis.

Abstract
The abnormal lipid metabolism in diabetic cardiomyopathy can cause myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction, lipotoxicity, abnormal death of myocardial cells, and myocardial remodeling. Mitochondrial homeostasis and normal lipid metabolism can effectively slow down the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Recent studies have shown that SIRT6 may play an important role in the pathological changes of diabetic cardiomyopathy such as myocardial cell death, myocardial hypertrophy, and myocardial fibrosis by regulating mitochondrial oxidative stress and glucose and lipid metabolism. Therefore, understanding the function of SIRT6 and its role in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy is of great significance for exploring and developing new targets and drugs for the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy. This article reviews the latest findings of SIRT6 in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy, focusing on the regulation of mitochondria and lipid metabolism by SIRT6 to explore potential clinical treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiomyopathy results in cardiac structural and functional abnormalities. Previous studies have demonstrated that inhibiting the RhoA/ROCK signalling pathway increases the injury resistance of cardiomyocytes. The early detection of cardiac structural and functional alterations may facilitate an improved understanding of the pathophysiologic progress and guide therapy. This study aimed to identify the optimal diagnostic measures for the subtle early alterations of cardiac dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rats. METHODS Twenty-four rat models were divided into four groups and received treatments for 4 weeks: the CON group (control rats), the DM group (T2DM rats), the DMF group (T2DM rats receiving fasudil) and the CONF group (control rats receiving fasudil) group. Left ventricular (LV) structure was quantified by histological staining and transmission electron microscopy. LV function and myocardial deformation were assessed by high-frequency echocardiography. RESULTS Treatment with fasudil, a ROCK inhibitor, significantly protected against diabetes-induced myocardial hypertrophy, fibrosis and mitochondrial dysfunction. Impaired LV performance was found in T2DM rats, as evidenced by significant reductions in the ejection fraction (EF), fractional shortening (FS) and the mitral valve (MV) E/A ratio (which decreased 26%, 34% and 20%, respectively). Fasudil failed to improve the conventional ultrasonic parameters in T2DM rats, but the myocardial deformation measured by speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) were significantly improved (global circumferential strain, GCS: P = 0.003; GCS rate, GCSR: P = 0.021). When receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used in combination with linear regression analysis, STE parameters were found to be characterized by both optimal prediction of cardiac damage [AUC (95% CI): fractional area change, FAC: 0.927 (0.744, 0.993); GCS: 0.819 (0.610, 0.945); GCSR: 0.899 (0.707, 0.984)] and stronger correlations with cardiac fibrosis (FAC: r = -0.825; GCS: r = 0.772; GCSR: r = 0.829) than conventional parameters. CONCLUSION The results suggest that STE parameters are more sensitive and specific than conventional parameters in predicting the subtle cardiac functional changes that occur in the early stage, providing new insight into the management of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Association of diabetes mellitus and glycemic control with left ventricular function and deformation in patients after acute myocardial infarction: a 3 T cardiac magnetic resonance study. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:55. [PMID: 36906549 PMCID: PMC10008587 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01785-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2023] [Indexed: 03/13/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered a major risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI), and MI patients with DM have a poor prognosis. Accordingly, we aimed to investigate the additive effects of DM on LV deformation in patients after acute MI. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred thirteen MI patients without DM [MI (DM-)], 95 with DM [MI (DM+)] and 71 control subjects who underwent CMRscanning were included. LV function, infarct size and LV global peak strains in the radial, circumferential and longitudinal directions were measured. MI (DM+) patients were divided into two subgroups based on the HbA1c level (< 7.0% and ≥ 7.0%). The determinants of reduced LV global myocardial strain for all MI patients and MI (DM+) patients were assessed using multivariable linear regression analyses. RESULTS Compared with control subjects, both MI (DM-) and MI (DM+) patients presented higher LV end-diastolic and end-systolic volume index and lower LV ejection fraction. LV global peak strains progressively declined from the control group to the MI(DM-) group to the MI(DM+) group (all p < 0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that LV global radial PS and longitudinal PS were worse in MI(MD+) patients with poor glycemic control than in those with good glycemic control (all p < 0.05). DM was an independent determinant of impaired LV global peak strain in radial, circumferential and longitudinal directions in patients after acute MI (β = - 0.166, 0.164 and 0.262, both p < 0.05). The HbA1c level was independently associated with a decreased LV global radial PS (β = - 0.209, p = 0.025) and longitudinal PS (β = 0.221, p = 0.010) in MI (DM+) patients. CONCLUSIONS DM has an additive deleterious effect on LV function and deformation in patients after acute MI, and HbA1c was independently associated with impaired LV myocardial strain.

Abstract
Diabetes is a common chronic metabolic disease, and its incidence continues to increase year after year. Diabetic patients mainly die from various complications, with the most common being diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the detection rate of diabetic cardiomyopathy is low in clinical practice, and targeted treatment is lacking. Recently, a large number of studies have confirmed that myocardial cell death in diabetic cardiomyopathy involves pyroptosis, apoptosis, necrosis, ferroptosis, necroptosis, cuproptosis, cellular burial, and other processes. Most importantly, numerous animal studies have shown that the onset and progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy can be mitigated by inhibiting these regulatory cell death processes, such as by utilizing inhibitors, chelators, or genetic manipulation. Therefore, we review the role of ferroptosis, necroptosis, and cuproptosis, three novel forms of cell death in diabetic cardiomyopathy, searching for possible targets, and analyzing the corresponding therapeutic approaches to these targets.

Association between triglyceride glucose index and subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes. Lipids Health Dis 2023; 22:35. [PMID: 36890516 PMCID: PMC9993628 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-023-01796-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been considered a new biomarker for the diagnosis of angiocardiopathy and insulin resistance. However, the association of the TyG index with subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction still lacks comprehensive exploration. This study was carried out to examine this relationship in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A total of 150 T2DM patients with preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF ≥ 50%) from June 2021 to December 2021 were included in this study. The subclinical LV function was evaluated through global longitudinal strain (GLS), with the predefined GLS < 18% as the cutoff for subclinical LV systolic dysfunction. The TyG index calculation was obtained according to ln (fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2), which was then stratified into quartiles (TyG index-Q). RESULTS Analyses of clinical characteristics in the four TyG indexes-Q (Q1 (TyG index ≤ 8.89) n = 38, Q2 (8.89 < TyG index ≤ 9.44) n = 37, Q3 (9.44 < TyG index ≤ 9.83) n = 38, and Q4 (TyG index > 9.83) n = 37) were conducted. A negative correlation of the TyG index with GLS (r = -0.307, P < 0.001) was revealed according to correlation analysis. After gender and age were adjusted in multimodel logistic regression analysis, the higher TyG index (OR 6.86; 95% CI 2.44 to 19.30; P < 0.001, Q4 vs Q1) showed a significant association with GLS < 18%, which was still maintained after further adjustment for related clinical confounding factors (OR 5.23, 95% CI 1.12 to 24.51, p = 0.036, Q4 vs Q1). Receiver operator characteristic analysis indicated a diagnostic capacity of the TyG index for GLS < 18% (area under curve: 0.678; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A higher TyG index had a significant association with subclinical LV systolic dysfunction in T2DM patients with preserved ejection fraction, and the TyG index may have the potential to exert predictive value for myocardial damage.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is an ill-defined entity. This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of diabetic patients that disparately develop heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) other than HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 911 patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus were identified in the ChiHFpEF cohort (NCT05278026). DCM was defined as diabetic patients diagnosed with HF, absent from flow obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), uncontrolled refractory hypertension and hemodynamics significant heart valvular diseases, arrhythmia and congenital heart diseases. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death and rehospitalization due to HF. RESULTS As compared to DCM-HFrEF patients, DCM-HFpEF patients had a longer duration of diabetes, were older and more noticeable in hypertension and non-obstructive CAD. After a median follow-up of 45.5 months, survival analysis showed that DCM-HFpEF patients had a better composite endpoint. Cox regression implicated that non-obstructive CAD was a negative (HR 0.101, 95% CI 0.028-0.373, p = 0.001) predictor for the composite endpoint of DCM-HFrEF patients. Age was a positive predictor for the composite endpoint of DCM-HFpEF patients (HR 1.044, 95% CI 1.007-1.082, p = 0.018). CONCLUSION DCM-HFpEF is a disparate entity from DCM-HFrEF. Additional phenomic studies are needed to explore the molecular mechanisms and develop targeted therapies.

Abstract
Metabolic cardiomyopathy (MC) is characterized by intracellular lipid accumulation and utilizing fatty acids as a foremost energy source, thereby leading to excess oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. There is no effective therapy available yet. In this study we investigated whether defective mitophagy contributed to MC and whether urolithin A (UA), a naturally occurring microflora-derived metabolite, could protect against MC in experimental obese mice. Mice were fed high fat diet for 20 weeks to establish a diet-induced obese model. We showed that mitochondrial autophagy or mitophagy was significantly downregulated in the heart of experimental obese mice. UA (50 mg·kg-1·d-1, for 4 weeks) markedly activated mitophagy and ameliorated MC in obese mice by gavage. In PA-challenged H9C2 cardiomyocytes, UA (5 μM) significantly increased autophagosomes and decreased autolysosomes. Furthermore, UA administration rescued PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy and relieved mitochondrial defects in the heart of obese mice, which led to improving cardiac diastolic function and ameliorating cardiac remodelling. In PA-challenged primarily isolated cardiomyocytes, both application of mitophagy inhibitor Mdivi-1 (15 μM) and silencing of mitophagy gene Parkin blunted the myocardial protective effect of UA. In summary, our data suggest that restoration of mitophagy with UA ameliorates symptoms of MC, which highlights a therapeutic potential of UA in the treatment of MC.

Abstract
Diabetic heart disease is a major healthcare problem. Patients with diabetes show an excess of death from cardiovascular causes, twice as high as the general population and those with diabetes type 1 and longer duration of the disease present with more severe cardiovascular complications. Premature coronary artery disease and heart failure are leading causes of morbidity and reduced life expectancy. Multimodality cardiac imaging, including echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography, nuclear medicine, and cardiac magnetic resonance play crucial role in the diagnosis and management of different pathologies included in the definition of diabetic heart disease. In this review we summarise the utility of multi-modality cardiac imaging in characterising ischaemic and non-ischaemic causes of diabetic heart disease and give an overview of the current clinical practice. We also describe emerging imaging techniques enabling early detection of coronary artery inflammation and the non-invasive characterisation of the atherosclerotic plaque disease. Furthermore, we discuss the role of MRI-derived techniques in studying altered myocardial metabolism linking diabetes with the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Finally, we discuss recent data regarding the use of artificial intelligence applied to large imaging databases and how those efforts can be utilised in the future in screening of patients with diabetes for early signs of disease.

Abstract
The Hippo pathway was initially discovered in Drosophila melanogaster and mammals as a key regulator of tissue growth both in physiological and pathological states. Numerous studies depict the vital role of the Hippo pathway in cardiovascular development, heart regeneration, organ size and vascular remodeling through the regulation of YAP (yes-associated protein) translocation. Recently, an increasing number of studies have focused on the Hippo-YAP pathway in inflammation and immunology. Although the Hippo-YAP pathway has been revealed to play controversial roles in different contexts and cell types in the cardiovascular system, the mechanisms regulating tissue inflammation and the immune response remain to be clarified. In this review, we summarize findings from the past decade on the function and mechanism of the Hippo-YAP pathway in CVDs (cardiovascular diseases) such as myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy and atherosclerosis. In particular, we emphasize the role of the Hippo-YAP pathway in regulating inflammatory cell infiltration and inflammatory cytokine activation.

Abstract
Personalized medicine or individualized therapy promises a paradigm shift in healthcare. This is particularly true in complex and multifactorial diseases such as diabetes and the multitude of related pathophysiological complications. Diabetic cardiomyopathy represents an emerging condition that could be effectively treated if better diagnostic and, in particular, better therapeutic monitoring tools were available. In this study, we investigate the ability to differentiate low and high doses of metabolically targeted therapy in an obese type 2 diabetic rat model. Low-dose dichloroacetate (DCA) treatment was associated with increased lactate production, while no or little change was seen in bicarbonate production. High-dose DCA treatment was associated with a significant metabolic switch towards increased bicarbonate production. These findings support further studies using hyperpolarized [1-13 C]-pyruvate magnetic resonance imaging to differentiate treatment effects and thus allow for personalized titration of therapeutics.

Plin5, a New Target in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:2122856. [PMID: 35509833 PMCID: PMC9060988 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2122856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2022] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Abnormal lipid accumulation is commonly observed in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC), which can create a lipotoxic microenvironment and damage cardiomyocytes. Lipid toxicity is an important pathogenic factor due to abnormal lipid accumulation in DC. As a lipid droplet (LD) decomposition barrier, Plin5 can protect LDs from lipase decomposition and regulate lipid metabolism, which is involved in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases. In recent years, studies have shown that Plin5 expression is involved in the pathogenesis of DC lipid toxicity, such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and insulin resistance (IR) and has become a key target of DC research. Therefore, understanding the relationship between Plin5 and DC progression as well as the mechanism of this process is crucial for developing new therapeutic approaches and exploring new therapeutic targets. This review is aimed at exploring the latest findings and roles of Plin5 in lipid metabolism and DC-related pathogenesis, to explore possible clinical intervention approaches.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is described as abnormalities of myocardial structure and function in diabetic patients without other well-established cardiovascular factors. Although multiple pathological mechanisms involving in this unique myocardial disorder, mitochondrial dysfunction may play an important role in its development of DCM. Recently, considerable progresses have suggested that mitochondrial biogenesis is a tightly controlled process initiating mitochondrial generation and maintaining mitochondrial function, appears to be associated with DCM. Nonetheless, an outlook on the mechanisms and clinical relevance of dysfunction in mitochondrial biogenesis among patients with DCM is not completely understood. In this review, hence, we will summarize the role of mitochondrial biogenesis dysfunction in the development of DCM, especially the molecular underlying mechanism concerning the signaling pathways beyond the stimulation and inhibition of mitochondrial biogenesis. Additionally, the evaluations and potential therapeutic strategies regarding mitochondrial biogenesis dysfunction in DCM is also presented.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Define early myocardial metabolic changes among patients with obesity and heart failure, and to describe noninvasive methods and their applications for imaging cardiac metabolic remodeling. RECENT FINDINGS Metabolic remodeling precedes, triggers, and sustains functional and structural remodeling in the stressed heart. Alterations in cardiac metabolism can be assessed by using a variety of molecular probes. The glucose tracer analog, 18F-FDG, and the labeled tracer 11C-palmitate are still the most commonly used tracers to assess glucose and fatty acid metabolism, respectively. The development of new tracer analogs and imaging agents, including those targeting the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), provides new opportunities for imaging metabolic activities at a molecular level. While the use of cardiac magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the clinical setting is limited to the assessment of intramyocardial and epicardial fat, new technical improvements are likely to increase its usage in the setting of heart failure. Noninvasive imaging methods are an effective tool for the serial assessment of alterations in cardiac metabolism, either during disease progression, or in response to treatment.

Lipotoxicity-induced mtDNA release promotes diabetic cardiomyopathy by activating the cGAS-STING pathway in obesity-related diabetes. Cell Biol Toxicol 2022; 39:277-299.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by lipid accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and aseptic inflammatory activation. Mitochondria-derived cytosolic DNA has been reported to induce inflammation by activating cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway in the adipose, liver, and kidney tissues. However, the role of cytosolic mtDNA in the progression of DCM is unclear. In this study, with an obesity-related DCM mouse model established by feeding db/db mice with a high-fat diet (HFD), we observed increased mtDNA in the cytosol and activated cGAS-STING signaling pathway during DCM, as well as the downstream targets, IRF3, NF-κB, IL-18, and IL-1β. In a further study with a palmitic acid (PA)-induced lipotoxic cell model established in H9C2 cells, we revealed that the cytosolic mtDNA was the result of PA-induced overproduction of mitochondrial ROS, which also led to the activation of the cGAS/STING system and its downstream targets. Notably, treatment of extracted mtDNA alone was sufficient to activate the cGAS-STING signaling pathway in cultured H9C2 cells. Besides, both knockdown of STING in PA-induced H9C2 cells and inhibition of STING by C-176 injection in the DCM mouse model could remarkably block the inflammation and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, our study elucidated the critical role of cytosolic mtDNA-induced cGAS-STING activation in the pathogenesis of obesity-related DCM and provided preclinical validation for using a STING inhibitor as a new potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of DCM.

Metabolites and Genes behind Cardiac Metabolic Remodeling in Mice with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23031392.

Abstract
Metabolic remodeling is at the heart of diabetic cardiomyopathy. High glycemic fluctuations increase metabolic stress in the type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) heart. There is a lack of understanding on how metabolites and genes affect metabolic remodeling in the T1DM heart. We hypothesize that differential expression of metabolic genes and metabolites synergistically influence metabolic remodeling preceding T1DM cardiomyopathy. To test our hypothesis, we conducted high throughput analysis of hearts from adult male hyperglycemic Ins2+/− (Akita) and littermate normoglycemic Ins2+/+ (WT) mice. The Akita mouse is a spontaneous, genetic model of T1DM that develops increased levels of consistent glycemic variability without the off-target cardiotoxic effects present in chemically- induced models of T1DM. After validating the presence of a T1DM phenotype, we conducted metabolomics via LC-MS analysis and genomics via next-generation sequencing in left ventricle tissue from the Akita heart. Ingenuity Pathway Analyses revealed that 108 and 30 metabolic pathways were disrupted within the metabolomics and genomics datasets, respectively. Notably, a comparison between the two analyses showed 15 commonly disrupted pathways, including ketogenesis, ketolysis, cholesterol biosynthesis, acetyl CoA hydrolysis, and fatty acid biosynthesis and beta-oxidation. These identified metabolic pathways predicted by the differential expression of metabolites and genes provide the foundation for understanding metabolic remodeling in the T1DM heart. By limited experiment, we revealed a predicted disruption in the metabolites and genes behind T1DM cardiac metabolic derangement. Future studies targeting these genes and metabolites will unravel novel therapies to prevent/improve metabolic remodeling in the T1DM heart.

Trehalose Ameliorates Diabetic Cardiomyopathy: Role of the PK2/PKR Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2021:6779559.

Abstract
Ample clinical case reports suggest a high incidence of cardiomyopathy in diabetes mellitus (DM). Recent evidence supports an essential role of trehalose (TLS) in cardiomyocyte survival signaling. Our previous study found that prokineticin2 (PK2) was involved in the process of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). The present study examined the protective effects and mechanisms of TLS on DM-induced cardiomyocyte injury in mice and H9c2 cardiomyocytes. C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg·kg−1·d−1 streptozotocin for five consecutive days to establish an experimental diabetic model and then administered TLS (1 mg·g−1·d−1, i.p.) for two days every 4 weeks and given 2% TLS in drinking water for 24 weeks. Echocardiography, myocardial structure, apoptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, and the PK2/PKR pathway were assessed. Cardiomyocytes exposed to high glucose (HG) were treated with TLS in the absence or presence of the PK2 antagonist PKRA7, and proteins involved in apoptosis, autophagy, and pyroptosis and the PK2/PKR pathways were evaluated using Western blot analysis. Diabetic mice demonstrated metabolic disorder, abnormal myocardial zymograms, and aberrant myocardial systolic and diastolic function, which were accompanied by pronounced apoptosis, pyroptosis, and dampened autophagy. TLS treatment relieved these effects. PK2 and receptor expressions were downregulated in diabetic mice, and TLS nullified this effect. PKRA7 eliminated the impact of TLS on cardiomyocytes. This evidence suggests that TLS rescues DM-induced myocardial function, pyroptosis, and apoptosis, likely via the PK2/PKR pathway.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The present study was intended to evaluate the effect of polyherbal formulation (PHF) made with 3 nutraceuticals, such as Piper nigrum, Terminalia paniculata, and Bauhinia purpurea on inflammation and oxidative stress in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), which is induced by streptozotocin and nicotinamide administration in rats. We supplemented DCM rats with PHF (250 and 500 mg/kg/BW) for 45 days and evaluated their effects on oxidative stress markers, proinflammatory cytokines, and messenger RNA expressions of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf-2) and its linked genes [heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), superoxide dismutase, catalase] along with inflammatory genes [tumour necrosis factor α and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)]. Our study demonstrated that PHF successfully attenuated inflammation and oxidative stress via messenger RNA upregulation of Nrf-2, HO-1, superoxide dismutase, and catalase and concomitantly with downregulation of tumour necrosis factor α and NF-κB. Conversely, PHF also protected hyperglycemia-mediated cardiac damage, which was confirmed with histopathological and scanning electron microscopy analysis. In conclusion, our results suggested that PHF successfully ameliorated hyperglycemia-mediated inflammation and oxidative stress via regulation of NF-κB/Nrf-2/HO-1 pathway. Therefore, these results recommend that PHF may be a prospective therapeutic agent for DCM.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) includes different metabolic conditions (i.e. abdominal obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, hypertriglyceridemia, decreased HDL cholesterol, and/or hypertension) that concour in the development of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. MetS individuals often show adverse cardiac remodeling and myocardial dysfunction even in the absence of overt coronary artery disease or valvular affliction. Diastolic impairment and hypertrophy are hallmarks of MetS-related cardiac remodeling and represent the leading cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Altered cardiomyocyte function, increased neurohormonal tone, interstitial fibrosis, coronary microvascular dysfunction, and a myriad of metabolic abnormalities have all been implicated in the development and progression of adverse cardiac remodeling related to MetS. However, despite the enormous amount of literature produced on this argument, HF remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in such population. The early detection of initial adverse cardiac remodeling would enable the optimal implementation of effective therapies aiming at preventing the progression of the disease to the symptomatic phase. Beyond conventional imaging techniques, such as echocardiography, cardiac tomography, and magnetic resonance, novel post-processing tools and techniques provide information on the biological processes that underlie metabolic heart disease. In this review, we summarize the pathophysiology of MetS-related cardiac remodeling and illustrate the relevance of state-of-the-art multimodality cardiac imaging to identify and quantify the degree of myocardial involvement, prognosticate long-term clinical outcome, and potentially guide therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM) is responsible for increased morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes and heart failure. However, the pathogenesis of DbCM has not yet been identified. Here, we investigated the important role of lncRNA-ZFAS1 in the pathological process of DbCM, which is associated with ferroptosis. Microarray data analysis of DbCM in patients or mouse models from GEO revealed the significance of ZFAS1 and the significant downregulation of miR-150-5p and CCND2. Briefly, DbCM was established in high glucose (HG)-treated cardiomyocytes and db/db mice to form in vitro and in vivo models. Ad-ZFAS1, Ad-sh-ZFAS1, mimic miR-150-5p, Ad-CCND2 and Ad-sh-CCND2 were intracoronarily administered to the mouse model or transfected into HG-treated cardiomyocytes to determine whether ZFAS1 regulates miR-150-5p and CCND2 in ferroptosis. The effect of ZFAS1 on the left ventricular myocardial tissues of db/db mice and HG-treated cardiomyocytes, ferroptosis and apoptosis was determined by Masson staining, immunohistochemical staining, Western blotting, monobromobimane staining, immunofluorescence staining and JC-1 staining. The relationships among ZFAS1, miR-150-5p and CCND2 were evaluated using dual-luciferase reporter assays and RNA pull-down assays. Inhibition of ZFAS1 led to reduced collagen deposition, decreased cardiomyocyte apoptosis and ferroptosis, and attenuated DbCM progression. ZFAS1 sponges miR-150-5p to downregulate CCND2 expression. Ad-sh-ZFAS1, miR-150-5p mimic, and Ad-CCND2 transfection attenuated ferroptosis and DbCM development both in vitro and in vivo. However, transfection with Ad-ZFAS1 could reverse the positive effects of miR-150-5p mimic and Ad-CCND2 in vitro and in vivo. lncRNA-ZFAS1 acted as a ceRNA to sponge miR-150-5p and downregulate CCND2 to promote cardiomyocyte ferroptosis and DbCM development. Thus, ZFAS1 inhibition could be a promising therapeutic target for the treatment and prevention of DbCM.

Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis is evident even in the situation without a significant cardiomyocyte loss in diabetic cardiomyopathy and a high glucose (HG) level independently activates the cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and promotes cell proliferation. Mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis, which are key for cell proliferation and the mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs), are critically involved in this process. However, the roles and the underlying mechanism of MAMs in the proliferation of HG-induced CFs are largely unknown. The proliferation and apoptosis of CFs responding to HG treatment were evaluated. The MAMs were quantified, and the mitochondrial respiration and cellular glycolytic levels were determined using the Seahorse XF analyzer. The changes of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and mitofusin-2 (MFN2) in responding to HG were also determined, the effects of which on cell proliferation, MAMs, and mitochondrial respiration were assessed. The effects of STAT3 on MFN2 transcription was determined by the dual-luciferase reporter assay (DLRA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP). HG-induced CFs proliferation increased the glycolytic levels and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, while mitochondrial respiration was inhibited. The MAMs and MFN2 expressions were significantly reduced on the HG treatment, and the restoration of MFN2 expression counteracted the effects of HG on cell proliferation, mitochondrial respiration of the MAMs, glycolytic levels, and ATP production. The mitochondrial STAT3 contents were not changed by HG, but the levels of phosphorylated STAT3 and nuclear STAT3 were increased. The inhibition of STAT3 reversed the reduction of MFN2 levels induced by HG. The DLRA and CHIP directly demonstrated the negative regulation of MFN2 by STAT3 at the transcription levels via interacting with the sequences in the MFN2 promoter region locating at about −400 bp counting from the start site of transcription. The present study demonstrated that the HG independently induced CFs proliferation via promoting STAT3 translocation to the nucleus, which switched the mitochondrial respiration to glycolysis to produce ATP by inhibiting MAMs in an MFN2-depression manner.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major risk factor for new-onset heart failure (HF) and vice versa. The pathogenesis of new-onset HF in DM is complex and has been largely attributed to the toxic cardiovascular effects of hyperglycemia and relevant metabolic abnormalities (diabetic cardiomyopathy) as well as the frequently coexisting morbidities such as hypertension (HTN), coronary artery disease (CAD), and diabetic nephropathy. In patients with type 1 DM (T1DM), HF develops in the setting of a dysregulated immune response, whereas in most patients with type 2 DM (T2DM), against a background of overweight/obesity. HF prevention in DM is feasible with rigorous treatment of cardiovascular risk factors and selective antidiabetic agents. Conversely, development of new-onset T2DM in HF (cardiogenic DM) is common and has been attributed to an increase in the resistance to insulin, especially in the skeletal muscle, liver, and adipose tissue as well as in diminished insulin secretory response to hyperglycemia by pancreatic β-cells. Cardiogenic DM further deteriorates cardiac dysfunction and adversely affects outcome in HF. Novel lifesaving medications employed in HF management such as sacubitril/valsartan and sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) have a favorable metabolic profile and lower the incidence of cardiogenic diabetes. Whether mitigation of cardiogenic DM should be a treatment target in HF deserves further investigation.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to systematically profile global RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification patterns in a mouse model of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Patterns of m6A in DCM and normal hearts were analyzed via m6A-specific methylated RNA immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (MeRIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). m6A-related mRNAs were validated by quantitative real-time PCR analysis of input and m6A immunoprecipitated RNA samples from DCM and normal hearts. A total of 973 new m6A peaks were detected in DCM samples and 984 differentially methylated sites were selected for further study, including 295 hypermethylated and 689 hypomethylated m6A sites (fold change (FC) > 1.5, P < 0.05). Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Pathway analyses indicated that unique m6A-modified transcripts in DCM were closely linked to cardiac fibrosis, myocardial hypertrophy, and myocardial energy metabolism. Total m6A levels were higher in DCM, while levels of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) protein were downregulated. Overexpression of FTO in DCM model mice improved cardiac function by reducing myocardial fibrosis and myocyte hypertrophy. Overall, m6A modification patterns were altered in DCM, and modification of epitranscriptomic processes, such as m6A, is a potentially interesting therapeutic approach.

Abstract
The interplay between the cardiovascular system, metabolism, and inflammation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of a wide spectrum of cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure. Here, we provide an overview of the fundamental aspects of the interrelation between inflammation and metabolism, ranging from the role of metabolism in immune cell function to the processes how inflammation modulates systemic and cardiac metabolism. Furthermore, we discuss how disruption of this immuno-metabolic interface is involved in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease, with a special focus on heart failure. Finally, we present new technologies and therapeutic approaches that have recently emerged and hold promise for the future of cardiovascular medicine.
