Abstract
Despite significant therapeutic advancements, morbidity and mortality following myocardial infarction (MI) remain unacceptably high. This clinical challenge is primarily attributed to two significant factors: delayed reperfusion and the myocardial injury resulting from coronary reperfusion. Following reperfusion, there is a rapid intracellular pH shift, disruption of ionic balance, heightened oxidative stress, increased activity of proteolytic enzymes, initiation of inflammatory responses, and activation of several cell death pathways, encompassing apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis. The inflammatory cell death or pyroptosis encompasses the activation of the intracellular multiprotein complex known as the NLRP3 inflammasome. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are endogenous particles whose components can either promote or mitigate the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. In this comprehensive review, we explore the role of inflammasome activation in the context of MI and provide a detailed analysis of how HDL can modulate this process.

Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), one of the common complications of diabetes, presents as a specific cardiomyopathy with anomalies in the structure and function of the heart. With the increasing prevalence of diabetes, DCM has a high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Recent studies have found that pyroptosis, as a programmed cell death accompanied by an inflammatory response, exacerbates the growth and genesis of DCM. These studies provide a theoretical basis for exploring the potential treatment of DCM. Therefore, this review aims to summarise the possible mechanisms by which pyroptosis promotes the development of DCM as well as the relevant studies targeting pyroptosis for the possible treatment of DCM, focusing on the molecular mechanisms of NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis, different cellular pyroptosis pathways associated with DCM, the effects of pyroptosis occurring in different cells on DCM, and the relevant drugs targeting NLRP3 inflammasome/pyroptosis for the treatment of DCM. This review might provide a fresh perspective and foundation for the development of therapeutic agents for DCM.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 123:155175. [PMID: 37951150 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis-related cardiac dysfunction is believed to be a primary cause of high morbidity and mortality. Metabolic reprogramming is closely linked to NLRP3 inflammasome activation and dysregulated glycolysis in activated macrophages, leading to inflammatory responses in septic cardiomyopathy. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and succinate play critical roles in the progression of metabolic reprogramming in macrophages. Inhibition of SDH may be postulated as an effective strategy to attenuate macrophage activation and sepsis-induced cardiac injury. PURPOSE This investigation was designed to examine the role of potential compounds that target SDH in septic cardiomyopathy and the underlying mechanisms involved. METHODS/RESULTS From a small molecule pool containing about 179 phenolic compounds, we found that chicoric acid (CA) had the strongest ability to inhibit SDH activity in macrophages. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure stimulated SDH activity, succinate accumulation and superoxide anion production, promoted mitochondrial dysfunction, and induced the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in macrophages, while CA ameliorated these changes. CA pretreatment reduced glycolysis by elevating the NAD+/NADH ratio in activated macrophages. In addition, CA promoted the dissociation of K(lysine) acetyltransferase 2A (KAT2A) from α-tubulin, and thus reducing α-tubulin acetylation, a critical event in the assembly and activation of NLRP3 inflammasome. Overexpression of KAT2A neutralized the effects of CA, indicating that CA inactivated NLRP3 inflammasome in a specific manner that depended on KAT2A inhibition. Importantly, CA protected the heart against endotoxin insult and improved sepsis-induced cardiac mitochondrial structure and function disruption. Collectively, CA downregulated HIF-1α expression via SDH inactivation and glycolysis downregulation in macrophages, leading to NLRP3 inflammasome inactivation and the improvement of sepsis-induced myocardial injury. CONCLUSION These results highlight the therapeutic role of CA in the resolution of sepsis-induced cardiac inflammation.

Biomedicines 2023; 11:3109. [PMID: 38137330 PMCID: PMC10740779 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11123109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive lung disease with reduced quality of life and earlier mortality, but its pathogenesis and key genes are still unclear. In this investigation, bioinformatics was used to deeply analyze the pathogenesis of IPF and related key genes, so as to investigate the potential molecular pathogenesis of IPF and provide guidance for clinical treatment. Next-generation sequencing dataset GSE213001 was obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between IPF and normal control group. The DEGs between IPF and normal control group were screened with the DESeq2 package of R language. The Gene Ontology (GO) and REACTOME pathway enrichment analyses of the DEGs were performed. Using the g:Profiler, the function and pathway enrichment analyses of DEGs were performed. Then, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed via the Integrated Interactions Database (IID) database. Cytoscape with Network Analyzer was used to identify the hub genes. miRNet and NetworkAnalyst databaseswereused to construct the targeted microRNAs (miRNAs), transcription factors (TFs), and small drug molecules. Finally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to validate the hub genes. A total of 958 DEGs were screened out in this study, including 479 up regulated genes and 479 down regulated genes. Most of the DEGs were significantly enriched in response to stimulus, GPCR ligand binding, microtubule-based process, and defective GALNT3 causes HFTC. In combination with the results of the PPI network, miRNA-hub gene regulatory network and TF-hub gene regulatory network, hub genes including LRRK2, BMI1, EBP, MNDA, KBTBD7, KRT15, OTX1, TEKT4, SPAG8, and EFHC2 were selected. Cyclothiazide and rotigotinethe are predicted small drug molecules for IPF treatment. Our findings will contribute to identification of potential biomarkers and novel strategies for the treatment of IPF, and provide a novel strategy for clinical therapy.
