Abstract
Background Septic shock, in humans and in our well-established animal model, is associated with increases in biventricular end diastolic volume (EDV) and decreases in ejection fraction (EF). These abnormalities occur over 2 days and reverse within 10 days. Septic non-survivors do not develop an increase in EDV. The mechanism for this cardiac dysfunction and EDV differences is unknown. Methods Purpose-bred beagles randomized to receive intrabronchial Staphylococcus aureus (n=27) or saline (n=6) were provided standard ICU care including sedation, mechanical ventilation, and fluid resuscitation to a pulmonary arterial occlusion pressure of over 10mmHg. No catecholamines were administered. Over 96h, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, echocardiograms, and invasive hemodynamics were serially performed, and laboratory data was collected. Tissue was obtained at 66h from six septic animals. Results From 0-96h after bacterial challenge, septic animals vs. controls had significantly increased left ventricular wall edema (6%) and wall thinning with loss of mass (15%) which was more pronounced at 48h in non-survivors than survivors. On histology, edema was located predominantly in myocytes, the interstitium, and endothelial cells. Edema was associated with significantly worse biventricular function (lower EFs), ventricular-arterial coupling, and circumferential strain. In septic animals, from 0-24h, the EDV decreased from baseline and, despite cardiac filling pressures being similar, decreased significantly more in non-survivors. From 24-48h, all septic animals had increases in biventricular chamber sizes. Survivors biventricular EDVs were significantly greater than baseline and in non-survivors, where biventricular EDVs were not different from baseline. Preload, afterload, or HR differences did not explain these differential serial changes in chamber size. Conclusion Systolic and diastolic cardiac dysfunction during sepsis is associated with ventricular wall edema. Rather than differences in preload, afterload, or heart rate, structural alterations to the ventricular wall best account for the volume changes associated with outcome during sepsis. In non-survivors, from 0-24h, sepsis induces a more severe diastolic dysfunction, further decreasing chamber size. The loss of left ventricular mass with wall thinning in septic survivors may, in part explain, the EDV increases from 24-48h. However, these changes continued and even accelerated into the recovery phase consistent with a reparative process rather than ongoing injury.

Abstract
Exercise preconditioning (EP) has a good myocardial protective effect. This study explored whether EP improves electrocardiographic (ECG) signs of myocardial ischemic/hypoxic injury and the occurrence of malignant arrhythmia after exhaustive exercise. A total of 120 male SD rats were randomly divided into the control group (group C), early exercise preconditioning group (group EEP), late exercise preconditioning group (group LEP), exhaustive exercise group (group EE), early exercise preconditioning + exhaustive exercise group (group EEP + EE) and late exercise preconditioning + exhaustive exercise group (group LEP + EE). Changes in heart rate (HR), ST segment, T wave and QT corrected (QTc) intervals on ECG; hematoxylin-basic fuchsin-picric acid (HBFP) staining; and cTnI levels were used to study myocardial injury and the protective effect of EP. Compared with those in group C, the levels of plasma markers of myocardial injury, HBFP staining and ECG in group EE were significantly increased (P < 0.05). Compared with those in group EE, the levels of plasma markers of myocardial injury, HBFP staining and ECG in group EEP + EE and group LEP + EE were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The results suggested that EP improved ECG signs of myocardial ischemic/hypoxic injury and malignant arrhythmias that occur after exhaustive exercise. The ST segment and T wave could also serve as indexes for evaluating exhaustive exercise-induced myocardial ischemia/hypoxia.

Abstract
Mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) are important components of intracellular signaling and contribute to the regulation of intracellular Ca2+/lipid homeostasis, mitochondrial dynamics, autophagy/mitophagy, apoptosis, and inflammation. Multiple studies have shown that proteins located on MAMs mediate cardioprotection. Exercise preconditioning (EP) has been shown to protect the myocardium from adverse stimuli, but these mechanisms are still being explored. Recently, a growing body of evidence points to MAMs, suggesting that exercise or EP may be involved in cardioprotection by modulating proteins on MAMs and subsequently affecting MAMs. In this review, we summarize the latest findings on MAMs, analyzing the structure and function of MAMs and the role of MAM-related proteins in cardioprotection. We focused on the possible mechanisms by which exercise or EP can modulate the involvement of MAMs in cardioprotection. We found that EP may affect MAMs by regulating changes in MFN2, MFN1, AMPK, FUNDC1, BECN1, VDAC1, GRP75, IP3R, CYPD, GSK3β, AKT, NLRP3, GRP78, and LC3, thus playing a cardioprotective role. We also provided direction for future studies that may be of interest so that more in-depth studies can be conducted to elucidate the relationship between EP and cardioprotection.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The regeneration strategy involves several aspects, such as reprogramming aspects, targeting pathophysiological processes, and inducing the physiological one. Autophagy targeting is a potential physiological/pathogenetic strategy to enhance myocardiocytes' function. Myocardiocytes' injury-related death remains to be the highest in our era. Unfortunately, myocardiocytes have a limited proliferation capacity to compensate for what was lost by infarction. However, partially injured myocardiocytes can be preserved by improving the autophagy process of myocardiocytes.
Main text
Autophagy induction involved controlling the cellular and subcellular environment as well as gene expression. Autophagy is well known to prolong the longevity of cell and human life. Inhibition of the mTOR receptor, proapoptotic gene Bnip3, IP3, and lysosome inhibitors, inhibition of microRNA-22 and overexpression of microRNA-99a, modulators of activated protein kinase with adenosine monophosphate, resveratrol, sirtuin activators, Longevinex and calcium lowering agents can promote physiological myocardiocyte autophagy and improve post-myocardial modulation and recovery speed. The paper aimed to assess autophagy role in myocardiocytes regeneration modulation.
Conclusions
The autophagy strategy can be applied to infarcted myocardiocytes, as well as heart failure. However, cell self-eating is not the preferred therapy for preserving injured myocardiocytes or causing regeneration.

Abstract
The cardioprotection of exercise preconditioning (EP) has been well documented. EP can be divided into two phases that are the induction of exercise preconditioning (IEP) and the protection of exercise preconditioning (PEP). PEP is characterized by biphasic protection, including early exercise preconditioning (EEP) and late exercise preconditioning (LEP). LC3 lipidation-mediated autophagy plays a pivotal role in cardioprotection. This study aimed to investigate the alterations of LC3 lipidation-associated proteins during EP-induced cardioprotection against myocardial injury induced by exhaustive exercise (EE) was used in a rat model of EP. These rats were subjected to an intermittent exercise consisting of four periods, with each period including 10 min of running at 30 m/min and 0% grade (approximately 75% VO2max) followed by 10 min of intermittent rest. A model of EE-induced myocardial injury was developed by subjecting rats to a consecutive running (30 m/min, 0% grade) till exhaustion. Following EEP, the colocalization of LC3 with Atg7 was significantly increased, and LC3-I, LC3-II, LC3-II/LC3-I, Atg7, Atg4B, and Atg3 levels were significantly increased. Atg7, Atg4B, and Atg3 mRNAs were all significantly upregulated, and LC3 mRNAs tended to be higher. Following LEP, Atg4B, and Atg3 levels were significantly increased. Atg7, Atg4B, and Atg3 mRNAs were all significantly upregulated, and LC3 mRNAs tended to be higher. A group of rats were subjected to EEP followed by EE, and the co-localization of LC3 with Atg7 was significantly increased, while LC3-I, LC3-II, LC3-II/LC3-I, Atg7, Atg4B, and Atg3 levels were also significantly increased. Moreover, there was a significant increase in the co-localization of LC3 with Atg7, LC3-I, LC3-II, Atg7, and Atg4B levels during LEP followed by EE. The formation of autophagosome during LEP followed by EE may have been weaker than that during EEP followed by EE due to the lower lipidation of LC3. EP may promote autophagy to maintain cell homeostasis and survival, which cooperates for cardioprotection of alleviating exhaustive exercise-induced myocardial injury by increasing LC3 lipidation-associated proteins. There is a difference between EEP and LEP in terms of the mechanisms of cardioprotection afforded by these respective conditions. The positive regulation of transcription and translation level of LC3 lipidation-associated proteins may all be involved in the mechanism of EEP and LEP, while compared with LEP, the regulation of translation level of EEP is more positively to promote autophagy.

Abstract
Exercise preconditioning (EP) can alleviate myocardial ischemic/hypoxic injury by inducing endogenous cardioprotection. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE), hematoxylin-basic fuchsin-picric acid (HBFP), and chromotrope-2R brilliant green (C-2R BG) staining have been used to visualize myocardial ischemic/hypoxic changes in previous EP studies, but comprehensive evaluation and comparisons of these methods are lacking. This study evaluated ischemic/hypoxic changes in adjacent myocardial sections by HE, HBFP, and C-2R BG and compared the characteristics of sections stained by these three methods to show changes associated with exercise-induced myocardial ischemic/hypoxic injury. Rats were randomly divided into four groups: control (C), exercise preconditioning (EP), exhaustive exercise (EE), and exercise preconditioning + exhaustive exercise (EP + EE). Adjacent myocardial sections were stained as described above and compared to evaluate the effects of exercise-induced myocardial ischemic/hypoxic injury. The three staining methods revealed consistent localization patterns of myocardial ischemic/hypoxic injury in all groups. Results suggest that EP can alleviate exhaustive exercise-induced myocardial ischemic/hypoxic injury, and the three staining methods are suitable for the histological study of exercise-induced myocardial ischemic/hypoxic injury and protection. HE staining is a simple procedure but is not specific for myocardial ischemic/hypoxic injury. HBFP and C-2R BG staining can be used to specifically visualize myocardial ischemic/hypoxic injury.

Abstract
Exhaustive exercise can cause subclinical inflammation to the heart, as it is an oxidative tissue that works continuously. The effect of exhaustive exercise on left and right ventricles (LVs, RVs) may be different. It is claimed that paraoxonase-1 (PON1), an antioxidant enzyme, has a cardioprotective effect on oxidative stress. Rats were separated as non-exercised controls (Con), those euthanized immediately after (E-0) and 24 h after exhaustive exercise (E-24). Cardiac troponin-I (cTnI), total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), PON1 activities, and histological findings in LV and RV of the exhausted rats were evaluated. TAS and PON1 levels were lower in LVs compared with RVs of all groups. TOS levels were high in LVs compared with RVs of all groups. In LVs, TAS levels decreased significantly in the E-0 group while PON1 activity decreased in E-0 and E-24 groups compared with controls. In LVs, TOS levels decreased significantly in E-0 and E-24 groups, but in RVs a decrease was seen only in the E-0 group. cTnI levels increased significantly in the E-0 group and decreased to control levels in the E-24 group. Considering the histological and biochemical findings, exhaustive exercise affected the heart to the maximum during and just after exhaustion, and LV was influenced more than RV.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of human death worldwide. Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved degradation pathway, which is a highly conserved cellular degradation process in which lysosomes decompose their own organelles and recycle the resulting macromolecules. Autophagy is critical in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis and function, and excessive or insufficient autophagy or autophagic flux can lead to cardiovascular disease. Enormous evidence indicates that exercise training plays a beneficial role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The regulation of autophagy during exercise is a bidirectional process. For cardiovascular disease caused by either insufficient or excessive autophagy, exercise training restores normal autophagy function and delays the progression of cardiovascular disease. An in-depth exploration and discussion of exercise-mediated regulation of autophagy in the cardiovascular system can broaden our view about the prevention of various autophagy-related diseases through exercise training. In this article, we review autophagy and its related signaling pathways, as well as autophagy-dependent beneficial effects of exercise in cardiovascular system.

Abstract
Exercise has been reported to induce autophagy. We hypothesized that exercise preconditioning (EP)-related autophagy in cardiomyocytes could be attributed to intermittent ischemia-hypoxia, allowing the heart to be protected for subsequent high-intensity exercise (HE). We applied approaches, chromotrope-2R brilliant green (C-2R BG) staining and plasma cTnI levels measuring, to characterize two periods of cardioprotection after EP: early EP (EEP) and late EP (LEP). Further addressing the relationship between ischemia-hypoxia and autophagy, key proteins, Beclin1, LC3, Cathepsin D, and p62, were determined by immunohistochemical staining, western blotting, and by their adjacent slices with C-2R BG. Results indicated that exercise-induced ischemia-hypoxia is a key factor in Beclin1-dependent autophagy. High-intensity exercise was associated with the impairment of autophagy due to high levels of LC3II and unchanged levels of p62, intermittent ischemia-hypoxia by EP itself plays a key role in autophagy, which resulted in more favorable cellular effects during EEP-cardioprotection compared to LEP.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction refers to a sudden death of cardiomyocytes, which leads to a large mortality worldwide. To attenuate acute myocardial infarction, strategies should be made to increase cardiomyocyte survival, improve postinfarcted cardiac function, and reverse the process of cardiac remodeling. Autophagy, a pivotal cellular response, has been widely studied and is known to be involved in various kinds of diseases. In the recent few years, the role of autophagy in diseases has been drawn increasing attention to by researchers. Here in this review, we mainly focus on the discussion of the effect of autophagy on the pathogenesis and progression of acute myocardial infarction under ischemic and ischemia/reperfusion injuries. Furthermore, several popular therapeutic agents and strategies taking advantage of autophagy will be described.

Abstract
The role of autophagy in the cardioprotection conferred by ischemic preconditioning (IPC) has been well described. This study aimed to investigate the changes in autophagy levels during the cardioprotective effects initiated by exercise preconditioning (EP).Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: group C (control), group EP, group EE (exhaustive exercise), and group EP + EE (EP pretreatment at 0.5 hours before EE). The EP protocol included 4 periods of 10 minutes of treadmill running each at 30 m/minute with intervening 10 minute periods of rest. Hematoxylin-basic fuchsin-picric acid (HBFP) staining and plasma levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) were used to evaluate the ischemia-hypoxia injury in rat myocardium. Alteration levels in several autophagy proteins in the left ventricular myocardium were analyzed by Western blot. The phasic alterations of autophagy levels during EP-initiated cardioprotective phase were also examined.Compared with group C, the ischemia-hypoxia positive areas and IOD value in HBFP-staining and cTnI plasma levels increased significantly in group EE. Compared with group EE, the ischemia-hypoxia injury was markedly attenuated in group EP + EE. Compared with group C, the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio, a marker of autophagosome formation, was reduced in group EE, but the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio remained unaltered in group EP + EE. Furthermore, the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio increased significantly at 2 hours during the cardioprotective phase after EP.These results suggest that the activated autophagy level during the EP-initiated cardioprotective phase may be partly involved in the cardioprotective effects by maintaining a normal autophagy basal level during the subsequent exhaustive exercise in rat myocardium.
