Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) plays a critical role in neuronal apoptosis along with the aggravation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that is involved in regulating ER stress in Alzheimer's disease (AD), therefore, this protein could be a promising therapeutic target for AD. Vanadium compounds, such as vanadyl acetylacetonate, sodium metavanadate and bis(maltolato)oxovanadium, are well-known as puissant PPARγ modulators. Thus, we are curious whether bis(ethylmaltolato)oxidovanadium (IV) (BEOV) can ameliorate ER stress and subsequent neuronal apoptosis by regulating PPARγ in AD models. To this end, we determined the effect of BEOV on behavioral performance, ER stress and neuronal apoptosis in the triple transgenic mouse AD model (3×Tg-AD). Our results showed that BEOV improved cognitive abilities and reduced the ER stress- and apoptosis-associated proteins in the brains of 3×Tg-AD mice. In vitro administration of BEOV in primary hippocampal neurons and N2asw cells achieved similar results in repressing ER stress. In addition, cotreatment with GW9662 (an antagonist of PPARγ) effectively blocked these neuroprotective effects of BEOV, which provided strong evidence that PPARγ-dependent signaling plays a key role in protecting against ER stress and neuronal apoptosis in AD. In conclusion, our data demonstrated that BEOV alleviated neuronal apoptosis triggered by ER stress by regulating PPARγ in a 3×Tg-AD model.

Abstract
Elevated circulatory free fatty acids (FFAs) especially saturated FFAs, such as palmitate (PA), are detrimental to the heart. However, mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon remain unknown. Here, the role of JAK2/STAT3 in PA-induced cytotoxicity was investigated in cardiomyocytes. We demonstrate that PA suppressed the JAK2/STAT3 pathway by dephosphorylation of JAK2 (Y1007/1008) and STAT3 (Y705), and thus blocked the translocation of STAT3 into the nucleus. Conversely, phosphorylation of S727, another phosphorylated site of STAT3, was increased in response to PA treatment. Pretreatment of JNK inhibitor, but not p38 MAPK inhibitor, inhibited STAT3 (S727) activation induced by PA and rescued the phosphorylation of STAT3 (Y705). The data suggested that JNK may be another upstream factor regulating STAT3, and verified the important function of P-STAT3 (Y705) in PA-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Sodium orthovanadate (SOV), a protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, obviously inhibited PA-induced apoptosis by restoring JAK2/STAT3 pathways. This effect was diminished by STAT3 inhibitor Stattic. Collectively, our data suggested a novel mechanism that the inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 activation was responsible for palmitic lipotoxicity and SOV may act as a potential therapeutic agent by targeting JAK2/STAT3 in lipotoxic cardiomyopathy treatment.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-induced unfolded protein response (UPR) and the subsequent cell deaths are essential steps in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), a main cause of diabetics' morbidity and mortalities. The bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV) (BMOV), a potent oral vanadium complex with anti-diabetic properties and insulin-mimicking effects, was shown to improve cardiac dysfunctions in diabetic models. Here, we examined the effects of BMOV on UPR pathway protein expression and apoptotic cell deaths in both high glucose-treated cardiac H9C2 cells and in the hearts of diabetic rats. We show that in both the high glucose-treated cardiac cells and in the hearts of streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats, there was an overall activation of the UPR signaling, including both apoptotic (e.g., the cascades of PERK/EIf2α/ATF4/CHOP and of IRE1/caspase 12/caspase 3) and pro-survival (GRP78 and XBP1) signaling. A high amount of apoptotic cell deaths was also detected in both diabetic conditions. The administration of BMOV suppressed both the apoptotic and pro-survival UPR signaling and significantly attenuated apoptotic cell deaths in both conditions. The overall suppression of UPR signaling by BMOV suggests that the drug protects diabetic cardiomyopathy by counteracting reactive oxygen species (ROS) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Our findings lend support to promote the use of BMOV in the treatment of diabetic heart diseases.

Abstract
There is a growing body of evidence that Diabetes Mellitus leads to a specific cardiomyopathy apart from vascular disease and bring about high morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Recent clinical and experimental studies have extensively demonstrated that this cardiomyopathy causes impaired cardiac performance manifested by early diastolic and late systolic dysfunction. This impaired cardiac performance most probably have emerged upon the expression and activity of regulatory proteins such as Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, ryanodine receptor and phospholamban. Over years many therapeutic strategies have been recommended for treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Lately, inorganic elements have been suggested to have anti-diabetic effects due to their suggested ability to regulate glucose homeostasis, reduce oxidative stress or suppress phosphatases. Recent findings have shown that trace elements exert many biological effects including insulin-mimetic or antioxidant activity and in this manner they have been recommended as potential candidates for treatment of diabetes-induced cardiac complications, an effect based on their modes of action. Some of these trace elements are known to play an essential role as component of enzymes and thus modulate the organ function in physiological and pathological conditions. Besides, they can also manipulate redox state of the channels via antioxidant properties and thus contribute to the regulation of [Ca2+]i homeostasis and cardiac ion channels. On account of little information about some trace elements, we discussed the effect of vanadium, selenium, zinc and tungstate on diabetic heart complications.

Abstract
Defective glycolysis and angiogenesis in the heart of diabetic patients and in experimental diabetic animal models have been reported. The aim of this study was to determine whether overexpression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1alpha protects from myocardial injury in diabetic mice by increasing myocardial glycolysis and angiogenesis. Cardiac-specific HIF-1alpha-overexpressing transgenic and age-matched wild-type control mice were treated with streptozotocin to induce diabetes. Changes in glucose transporters, glycolytic enzymes, angiogenic factors and cardiac morphology were examined in the hearts by real-time RT-PCR, Western blotting, enzymatic assay, and histological assays. HIF-1alpha overexpression elevated hexokinase II (HK-II) protein level and total HK activity in nondiabetic heart and prevented the decreases in HK-II mRNA, protein, and total HK activity in diabetic heart. In addition, the reduction of glucose transporter I, but not glucose transporter 4, was restored in HIF transgenic mouse heart along with a recovery of myocardium ATP production. HIF-1alpha overexpression also normalized diabetes-reduced vascular endothelial growth factor concentration along with a sustained myocardial capillary density and an inhibition of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and cardiac fibrosis. Therefore, elevation of HIF-1alpha provides a cardiac protection from diabetic-induced impairment in glucose metabolism and angiogenesis via up-regulation of HIF-1 target genes.

Abstract
Treatment with inorganic and organic compounds of vanadium has been shown to exert a wide range of cardioprotective effects in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury, myocardial hypertrophy, hypertension, and vascular diseases. Furthermore, administration of vanadium compounds improves cardiac performance and smooth muscle cell contractility and modulates blood pressure in various models of hypertension. Like other vanadium compounds, we documented bis(1-oxy-2-pyridinethiolato) oxovanadium (IV) [VO(OPT)] as a potent cardioprotective agent to elicit cardiac functional recovery in myocardial infarction and pressure overload-induced hypertrophy. Vanadium compounds activate Akt signaling through inhibition of protein tyrosine phosphatases, thereby eliciting cardioprotection in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury and myocardial hypertrophy. Vanadium compounds also promote cardiac functional recovery by stimulation of glucose transport in diabetic heart. We here discuss the current understanding of mechanisms underlying vanadium compound-induced cardioprotection and propose a novel therapeutic strategy targeting for Akt signaling to rescue cardiomyocytes from heart failure.

Abstract
There is a strong positive correlation between insulin resistance and cardiac diseases. We have already shown that chronic exposure to the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate (OHB) decreases insulin-mediated activation of protein kinase B (PKB) and glucose uptake in cardiomyocytes. To gain further insights into the mechanism underlying ketone body-induced insulin resistance, we examined whether OHB alters activation of the insulin-signaling cascade and whether the insulinomimetic agent vanadate could bypass insulin resistance and stimulate glucose uptake in these cells. Cardiomyocytes were incubated with 5 mM OHB, 50 microM vanadate or both for 16 h before the measurement of glucose uptake or the activation of insulin-signaling molecules. While chronic exposure to OHB did not alter insulin- or vanadate-mediated activation of the insulin receptor, it suppressed insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) tyrosine phosphorylation in response to both agonists. Furthermore, this treatment decreased by 54 and 36% the phosphorylation of the p85 regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K) and PKB in response to insulin, whereas it did not alter vanadate-mediated activation of these enzymes. Although insulin did not significantly stimulate p38MAPK phosphorylation, vanadate increased it by 3.8-fold. Furthermore, chronic exposure to OHB potentiated vanadate's action, resulting in a 250% increase in enzyme activation compared to control cells. Though OHB induced a 2.1-fold increase of basal ERK1/2 phosphorylation, inhibition of this enzyme with the MEK inhibitor PD98059 demonstrated that ERK1/2 did not participate in OHB-induced insulin resistance. In conclusion, ketone bodies promote insulin resistance probably through decreased activation of the PI3-K/PKB signaling cascade. Furthermore, vanadate can bypass insulin resistance and stimulate glucose uptake in OHB-treated cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
The purpose of these studies was to evaluate the effect of selected vanadium and magnesium doses on certain haematological and biochemical blood parameters in rats. Outbred 2-month-old, albino male Wistar rats received for a period of 6 weeks, as a sole drinking liquid, the following water solutions: group II, sodium metavanadate (SMV) at a concentration of 0.125 mg V/mL; group III, magnesium sulphate (MS) at a concentration of 0.06 mg Mg/mL; and group IV, SMV-MS solution at the same concentrations. The control group received at this time deionized water to drink. It was calculated that group II ingested with drinking water about 10.7 mg V/kg b. w./24 h, group III 6 mg Mg/kg b. w./24 h, and group IV about 9 mg V and 4.5 mg Mg/kg b. w./24 h. The exposure to vanadium alone (group II) led to a statistically significant decrease in body weight gain, food and fluid intakes. Moreover, in the same group of rats a statistically significant decrease in the RBC count, Hb concentration, MCV, and MCH values was demonstrated. Additionally, a statistically significant decrease in the plasma L-ascorbic acid concentration and a significant increase in MDA concentration in blood in this group were found. Instead, after the administration of magnesium alone (group III), a statistically significant decrease in the fluid intake and in the L-ascorbic acid concentration in plasma was noted. Furthermore, in the same group of rats a statistically significant increase in Hb level and in the plasma magnesium concentration was demonstrated. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) did not reveal the interactions between V and Mg.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The insulin-like action of metal complexes on target tissues, including the heart, has been reported in experimental diabetes mellitus. Since streptozotocin-induced diabetes is associated with insulin deficiency and left ventricular dysfunction, this study was designed to determine whether the novel metal complex molybdenum ascorbate [MoO(2)(aa)(2)] would improve cardiac function in this model of diabetes. METHODS Diabetes was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 6) following an intravenous injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg). After 8 weeks of diabetes, cardiac function was determined in isolated working hearts perfused with 11 mmol/L glucose, 1.2 mmol/L palmitate and 3% albumin. MoO(2)(aa)(2 )was added directly into the perfusate of working hearts at a concentration of 200 micromol/L for a period of 30 minutes. Age-matched control rats served as controls (n = 6). RESULTS Cardiac function, expressed as heart rate (HR) and aortic flow, was significantly decreased in diabetic hearts compared with control hearts. The diabetic state was associated with 23% and 60% reductions in HR and aortic flow, respectively. Short-term addition of MoO(2)(aa)(2) was beneficial and partially prevented the attenuation in diabetic rat heart function. MoO(2)(aa)(2 )increased HR by 15%, while aortic flow was increased by 85%. In control hearts, MoO(2)(aa)(2) had no effect on HR and increased aortic flow by 12%. CONCLUSION This study extends previous observations on the benefit of metal complexes in experimental diabetes. Our results indicate that short-term treatment with MoO(2)(aa)(2) partially reversed the left ventricular dysfunction associated with the streptozotocin model of diabetes.

Abstract
To study the cardioprotective effects of vanadate on ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, isolated rat hearts perfused at constant flow were subjected to global ischemia for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 30 min. In this experimental model, I/R markedly decreased ventricular developed pressure and increased end-diastolic pressure. Pretreatment of hearts with 4 microM vanadate attenuated I/R-induced cardiac dysfunction. The reduction in sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ uptake and Ca2+ release, as well as SR protein contents for Ca2+-pump ATPase and Ca2+-release channel, was also prevented by vanadate. Pretreatment of hearts with an antioxidant mixture containing superoxide dismutase + catalase exerted effects similar to those of vanadate in I/R hearts. Postischemic treatment of hearts with vanadate or superoxide dismutase + catalase also had beneficial effects on I/R-induced changes in cardiac performance and SR function. Alterations in cardiac function and SR Ca2+ transport due to an oxyradical-generating system (xanthine + xanthine oxidase) or an oxidant (H2O2) were attenuated by treatment with vanadate. These results suggest that vanadate may exert beneficial effects on cardiac performance and SR function in I/R hearts because of its antioxidant action.

Abstract
Inorganic and organic compounds of vanadium have been shown to exhibit a large range of insulinomimetic effects in the cardiovascular system, including stimulation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT-4) translocation and glucose transport in adult cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, administration of vanadium compounds improves cardiac performance and smooth muscle contractility, and modulates blood pressure in various models of hypertension and insulin resistance. Vanadium compounds are potent inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatases. As a result, they promote an increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation of several key components of the insulin signaling pathway, leading to the upregulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and protein kinase B, two enzymes involved in mediating GLUT-4 trans location and glucose transport. In addition, vanadium has also been shown to activate p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and increase Ca2+levels in several cell types. The ability of vanadium compounds to activate these signaling events may be responsible for their ability to modulate cardiovascular functions.Key words: vanadium compounds, glucose transport, smooth muscle contractility, insulin signaling pathway.
