Abstract
Tianma is the dried tuber of Gastrodia elata Blume (G. elata), which is frequently utilized in clinical practice as a traditional Chinese medicine. Gastrodin (GAS) is the main active ingredient of Tianma, which has good pharmacological activity. Therefore, for the first time, this review focused on the extraction, synthesis, pharmacological effects, and derivatives of GAS and to investigate additional development options for GAS. The use of microorganisms to create GAS is a promising method. GAS has good efficacy in the treatment of neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, endocrine diseases, and liver diseases. GAS has significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, vascular protective, blood sugar lowering, lipid-regulating, analgesic, anticancer, and antiviral effects. The mechanism involves various signaling pathways such as Nrf2, NF-κB, PI3K/AKT, and AMPK. In addition, the derivatives of GAS and biomaterials synthesized by GAS and PU suggested a broader application of GAS. The research on GAS is thoroughly summarized in this paper, which has useful applications for tackling a variety of disorders and exhibits good development value.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the main diseases that endanger human health, and their risk factors contribute to high morbidity and a high rate of hospitalization. Cell death is the most important pathophysiology in CVDs. As one of the cell death mechanisms, ferroptosis is a new form of regulated cell death (RCD) that broadly participates in CVDs (such as myocardial infarction, heart transplantation, atherosclerosis, heart failure, ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, atrial fibrillation, cardiomyopathy (radiation-induced cardiomyopathy, diabetes cardiomyopathy, sepsis-induced cardiac injury, doxorubicin-induced cardiac injury, iron overload cardiomyopathy, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy), and pulmonary arterial hypertension), involving in iron regulation, metabolic mechanism and lipid peroxidation. This article reviews recent research on the mechanism and regulation of ferroptosis and its relationship with the occurrence and treatment of CVDs, aiming to provide new ideas and treatment targets for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of CVDs by clarifying the latest progress in CVDs research.

Gastrodin alleviates NTG-induced migraine-like pain via inhibiting succinate/HIF-1α/TRPM2 signaling pathway in trigeminal ganglion. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 125:155266. [PMID: 38241917 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2023.155266] [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: 05/01/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence highlights the involvement of metabolic disorder and calcium influx mediated by transient receptor potential channels in migraine; however, the relationship between these factors in the pathophysiology of migraine remains unknown. Gastrodin is the major component of the traditional Chinese medicine Tianma, which is extensively used in migraine therapy. PURPOSE Our work aimed to explore the analgesic action of gastrodin and its regulatory mechanisms from a metabolic perspective. METHODS/RESULTS After being treated with gastrodin, the mice were given nitroglycerin (NTG) to induce migraine. Gastrodin treatment significantly raised the threshold of sensitivity in response to both mechanical and thermal stimulus evidenced by von Frey and hot plate tests, respectively, and decreased total contact numbers in orofacial operant behavioral assessment. We found that the expression of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel was increased in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) of NTG-induced mice, resulting in a sustained Ca2+ influx to trigger migraine pain. The content of succinate, a metabolic biomarker, was elevated in blood samples of migraineurs, as well as in the serum and TG tissue from NTG-induced migraine mice. Calcium imaging assay indicated that succinate insult elevated TRPM2-mediated calcium flux signal in TG neurons. Mechanistically, accumulated succinate upregulated hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression and promoted its translocation into nucleus, where HIF-1α enhanced TRPM2 expression through transcriptional induction in TG neurons, evidenced by luciferase reporter measurement. Gastrodin treatment inhibited TRPM2 expression and TRPM2-dependent Ca2+ influx by attenuating succinate accumulation and downstream HIF-1α signaling, and thereby exhibited analgesic effect. CONCLUSION This work revealed that succinate was a critical metabolic signaling molecule and the key mediator of migraine pain through triggering TRPM2-mediated calcium overload. Gastrodin alleviated NTG-induced migraine-like pain via inhibiting succinate/HIF-1α/TRPM2 signaling pathway in TG neurons. These findings uncovered the anti-migraine effect of gastrodin and its regulatory mechanisms from a metabolic perspective and provided a novel theoretical basis for the analgesic action of gastrodin.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is an independent risk factor for stroke. The dysfunction of endothelial cells (EC) is closely concerned with EC senescence. Gastrodin (GAS) is an organic compound extracted from the dried root mass of the Orchidaceae plant Gastrodiae gastrodiae. It is used clinically to treat diseases such as vertebrobasilar insufficiency, vestibular neuronitis and vertigo. In the present study, we used hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 )-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to establish an in vitro EC senescence model and to investigate the role and mechanism of GAS in EC senescence. It's found that H2 O2 -treated HUVECs increased the proportion of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA β-gal) positive cells and the relative protein expression levels of senescence-associated cyclin p16 and p21. In addition, GAS reduced the proportion of SA β-gal positive cells and the relative protein expression levels of p16 and p21, and increased the proliferation and migration ability of HUVECs. Meanwhile, GAS increased the expression of the anti-oxidative stress protein HO-1 and its nuclear expression level of Nrf2. The anti-senescence effect of GAS was blocked when HO-1 expression was inhibited by SnPPIX. Furthermore, absence of HO-1 abolished the effect of GAS on HUVEC proliferation and migration. In conclusion, GAS ameliorated H2 O2 -induced cellular senescence and enhanced cell proliferation and migration by enhancing Nrf2/HO-1 signalling in HUVECs. These findings of our study expanded the understanding of GAS pharmacology and suggested that GAS may offer a potential therapeutic agent for stroke.

Abstract
The heart requires a variety of energy substrates to maintain proper contractile function. Glucose and long-chain fatty acids (FA) are the major cardiac metabolic substrates under physiological conditions. Upon stress, a shift of cardiac substrate preference toward either glucose or FA is associated with cardiac diseases. For example, in pressure-overloaded hypertrophic hearts, there is a long-lasting substrate shift toward glucose, while in hearts with diabetic cardiomyopathy, the fuel is switched toward FA. Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), a well-established calcium (Ca2+) sensor of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca2+ store, is increasingly recognized as a critical player in mediating both cardiac hypertrophy and diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the cause-effect relationship between STIM1 and glucose/FA metabolism and the possible mechanisms by which STIM1 is involved in these cardiac metabolic diseases are poorly understood. In this review, we first discussed STIM1-dependent signaling in cardiomyocytes and metabolic changes in cardiac hypertrophy and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Second, we provided examples of the involvement of STIM1 in energy metabolism to discuss the emerging role of STIM1 in the regulation of energy substrate preference in metabolic cardiac diseases and speculated the corresponding underlying molecular mechanisms of the crosstalk between STIM1 and cardiac energy substrate preference. Finally, we briefly discussed and presented future perspectives on the possibility of targeting STIM1 to rescue cardiac metabolic diseases. Taken together, STIM1 emerges as a key player in regulating cardiac energy substrate preference, and revealing the underlying molecular mechanisms by which STIM1 mediates cardiac energy metabolism could be helpful to find novel targets to prevent or treat cardiac metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Gastrodia elata exhibits extensive pharmacological activity; its extract gastrodin (GAS) has been used clinically to treat cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, we examined the effect of GAS in a mice model of pathological cardiac hypertrophy, which was induced using transverse aortic constriction (TAC). Male C57BL/6 J mice underwent either TAC or sham surgery. GAS was administered post-surgically for 6 weeks and significantly improved the deterioration of cardiac contractile function caused by pressure overload, cardiac hypertrophy, and fibrosis in mice. Treatment with GAS for 6 weeks upregulated myosin heavy chain α and down-regulated myosin heavy chain β and atrial natriuretic peptide, while insulin increased the effects of GAS against cardiac hypertrophy. In vitro studies showed that GAS could also protect phenylephrine-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and these effects were attenuated by BAY-876, and increased by insulin. Taken together, our results suggest that the anti-hypertrophic effect of gastrodin depends on its entry into cardiomyocytes through GLUT4.

Abstract
Unbalanced Ca2+ homeostasis serves an essential role in the occurrence and development of septic myocardial injury. However, the mechanism of Ca2+ homeostasis in septic myocardial depression is poorly understood due to the complexity of Ca2+ transporters in excitable cells. It was therefore hypothesized that cardiac dysfunction, myocardial injury and cardiac apoptosis in septic myocardial depression are associated with elevated intracellular Ca2+ concentrations caused by stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1)/Orai calcium release‑activated calcium modulator 1 (Orai1)‑mediated store‑operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE). A septic myocardial depression model was established using the cecal ligation and puncture operation (CLP) in mice and was simulated in H9C2 cells via lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Cardiac function, myocardial injury, cardiac apoptosis and the expression levels of Bax, Bcl‑2, STIM1 and Orai1 were quantified in vivo at 6, 12 and 24 h. Changes in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, SOCE and the distribution of STIM1 were assessed in vitro within 6 h. The morphological changes of heart tissue were observed by hematoxylin‑eosin staining. Myocardial cellular apoptosis was determined by TUNEL method. The expression of Bax, Bcl‑2, STIM1 and Orai1 were visualized by western blot. Cytosolic calcium concentration and SOCE were evaluated by confocal microscopy. The results demonstrated that cardiac contractile function was significantly reduced at 6 h and morphological changes in cardiac tissues, as well as the myocardial apoptosis rate, were markedly increased at 6, 12 and 24 h following CLP. mRNA and protein expression levels of Bax/Bcl‑2 were significantly enhanced at 6 and 12 h and glycosylation of Orai1 in the myocardium of septic mice was significantly increased at 6 h following CLP. The intracellular Ca2+ concentration, SOCE, was significantly increased at 1‑2 h and the clustering and distribution of STIM1 were markedly changed in H9C2 cells at 1 and 2 h. These findings suggested that myocardial dysfunction, cardiac injury and myocardial depression may be related to increased intracellular Ca2+ concentration resulting from STIM1/Orai1‑mediated SOCE, which may provide a potential method to alleviate septic myocardial depression.

Abstract
Gastrodia elata, a traditional Chinese medicine, has been widely used since ancient times to treat diseases such as dizziness, epilepsy, stroke, and memory loss. Gastrodin, one of the active components of Gastrodia elata, has been used in the treatment of migraine, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, dementia, and depression in recent years. It can improve cognitive function and related neuropsychiatric symptoms through various effects and is considered as a promising treatment for dementia. Vascular dementia is a kind of severe cognitive impairment syndrome caused by vascular factors, and it is the dementia syndrome with the largest number of patients besides Alzheimer's disease. Although there is still a lack of evidence-based explorations, the paper reviewed the mechanism and methods of gastrodin in the treatment of vascular dementia, providing a reference for clinical therapy.

Abstract
Store-operated channels (SOCs) are highly selective Ca2+ channels that mediate Ca2+ influx in non-excitable and excitable (i.e., skeletal and cardiac muscle) cells. These channels are triggered by Ca2+ depletion of the endoplasmic reticulum and sarcoplasmic reticulum, independently of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3), which is involved in cell growth, differentiation, and gene transcription. When the Ca2+ store is depleted, stromal interaction molecule1 (STIM1) as Ca2+ sensor redistributes into discrete puncta near the plasma membrane and activates the protein Ca2+ release activated Ca2+ channel protein 1 (Orai1). Accumulating evidence suggests that SOC is associated with several physiological roles in endothelial dysfunction and vascular smooth muscle proliferation that contribute to the progression of cardiovascular disease. This review mainly elaborates on the contribution of SOC in the vasculature (endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells). We will further retrospect the literature implicating a critical role for these proteins in cardiovascular disease.

Gastrodin Exerts Cardioprotective Action via Inhibition of Insulin-Like Growth Factor Type 2/Insulin-Like Growth Factor Type 2 Receptor Expression in Cardiac Hypertrophy. ACS OMEGA 2021; 6:16763-16774. [PMID: 34250336 PMCID: PMC8264851 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c00797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2021] [Accepted: 06/10/2021] [Indexed: 05/05/2023]
Abstract
Pathological cardiac hypertrophy is commonly associated with an upregulation of fetal genes, fibrosis, cardiac dysfunction, and heart failure. Previous studies have demonstrated that gastrodin (GAS) exerts cardioprotective action in the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy. However, the mechanism by which GAS protects against cardiac hypertrophy is yet to be elucidated. A mouse model of myocardial hypertrophy was established using an angiotensin II (Ang II) induction. GAS (5 or 50 mg/kg/d) was orally administered every day starting 7 days prior to the Ang II infusion combined with sham-operated controls. Heart samples from each group were collected for RNA sequencing. Using bioinformatics analysis, the key differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that are involved in reversing cardiac function were identified. Through bioinformatics analysis, the key DEGs that are involved in GAS's inhibition of Ang II-induced abnormal gene expression within the heart were identified. This was further validated using quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs). Oral administration of GAS significantly suppressed the Ang II-induced increase in heart size and heart weight to body weight. Furthermore, pretreatment of the NRCMs with GAS led to a dose-dependent inhibition of Ang II-induced increases in Nppb mRNA expression. We identified 620 upregulated and 87 downregulated Ang II-induced DEGs II, among which the expression patterns of 58 and 146 genes were inverted by low-dose and high-dose GAS, respectively. These inverted DEGs were found to be mainly enriched in the biological processes of regulation of Ras protein signal transduction, heart contraction, covalent chromatin modification, glucose metabolism, and positive regulation of cell cycle. Among them, the insulin-like growth factor type 2 (Igf2) gene, which was found to be highly reversed and downregulated by GAS, served as a core gene linking energy metabolism, immune regulation, and systemic development. Subsequent functional verification demonstrated that IGF2, and its receptor IGF2R, is one of the targets of GAS that helps protect against cardiac hypertrophy. Taken together, we have identified, for the first time, IGF2/IGF2R as a potential target influenced by GAS in the prevention of cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of cardiac hypertrophy is complex and multifactorial. Both the store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) and excessive autophagy are the major causative factors for pathological cardiac hypertrophy. However, it is unclear whether these two causative factors are interdependent. In this study, we examined the functional role of SOCE and Orai1 in angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced autophagy and hypertrophy using in vitro neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) and in vivo mouse model, respectively. We show that YM-58483 or SKF-96365 mediated pharmacological inhibition of SOCE, or silencing of Orai1 with Orail-siRNA inhibited Ang II-induced cardiomyocyte autophagy both in vitro and in vivo. Also, the knockdown of Orai1 attenuated Ang II-induced pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Together, these data suggest that Ang II promotes excessive cardiomyocyte autophagy through SOCE/Orai1 which can be the prime contributing factors in cardiac hypertrophy.

Abstract
Codonopsis lanceolata has been widely used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-lipogenic agent in traditional medicine. Recently, C. lanceolata was reported to prevent hypertension by improving vascular function. This study evaluated the effects of C. lanceolata and its major component lancemaside A on cytosolic calcium concentration in vascular endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. Cytosolic calcium concentration was measured using fura-2 AM fluorescence. C. lanceolata or lancemaside A increased the cytosolic calcium concentration by releasing Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum and sarcoplasmic reticulum and by Ca2+ entry into endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells from extracellular sources. The C. lanceolata- and lancemaside A-induced cytosolic calcium concentration increases were significantly inhibited by lanthanum, an inhibitor of non-selective cation channels, in both endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. Moreover, C. lanceolata and lancemaside A significantly inhibited store-operated Ca2+ entry under pathological extracellular Ca2+ levels. In Ca2+-free extracellular fluid, increases in the cytosolic calcium concentration induced by C. lanceolata or lancemaside A were significantly inhibited by U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C, and 2-APB, an inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor antagonist. In addition, dantrolene treatment, which inhibits Ca2+ release through ryanodine receptor channels, also inhibited C. lanceolata- or lancemaside A-induced increases in the cytosolic calcium concentration through the phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate pathway. These results suggest that C. lanceolata and lancemaside A increase the cytosolic calcium concentration through the non-selective cation channels and phospholipase C/inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate pathways under physiological conditions and inhibit store-operated Ca2+ entry under pathological conditions in endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells. C. lanceolata or lancemaside A can protect endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells by maintaining cytosolic calcium concentration homeostasis, suggesting possible applications for these materials in diets for preventing vascular damage.

Abstract
The archetypal store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOCs), Orai1, which are stimulated by the endo/sarcoplasmic reticulum (ER/SR) Ca2+ sensor stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) upon Ca2+ store depletion is traditionally viewed as instrumental for the function of non-excitable cells. In the recent years, expression and function of Orai1 have gained recognition in excitable cardiomyocytes, albeit controversial. Even if its cardiac physiological role in adult is still elusive and needs to be clarified, Orai1 contribution in cardiac diseases such as cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure (HF) is increasingly recognized. The present review surveys our current arising knowledge on the new role of Orai1 channels in the heart and debates on its participation to cardiac hypertrophy and HF.

Abstract
Following myocardial infarction (MI), myocardial inflammation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of MI injury and macrophages are among the key cells activated during the initial phases of the host response regulating the healing process. While macrophages have emerged as attractive effectors in tissue injury and repair, the contribution of macrophages on cardiac cell function and survival is not fully understood due to complexity of the in vivo inflammatory microenvironment. Understanding the key cells involved and how they communicate with one another is of paramount importance for the development of effective clinical treatments. Here, novel in vitro myocardial inflammation models were developed to examine how both direct and indirect interactions with polarized macrophage subsets present in the post-MI microenvironment affect cardiomyocyte function. The indirect model using conditioned medium from polarized macrophage subsets allowed examination of the effects of macrophage-derived factors on stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte function for up to 3 days. The results from the indirect model demonstrated that pro-inflammatory macrophage-derived factors led to a significant downregulation of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (Serca2) gene expression. It also demonstrated that inhibition of macrophage-secreted matricellular protein, osteopontin (OPN), led to a significant decrease in cardiomyocyte store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). In the direct model, stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes were co-cultured with polarized macrophage subsets for up to 3 days. It was demonstrated that anti-inflammatory macrophages significantly increased cardiomyocyte Ca2+ fractional release while macrophages independent of their subtypes led to significant downregulation of SOCE response in cardiomyocytes. This study describes simplified and controlled in vitro myocardial inflammation models, which allow examination of potential beneficial and deleterious effects of macrophages on cardiomyocytes and vise versa. This can lead to our improved understanding of the inflammatory microenvironment post-MI, otherwise difficult to directly investigate in vivo or by using currently available in vitro models.

Cardiomyocyte-Specific Deletion of Orai1 Reveals Its Protective Role in Angiotensin-II-Induced Pathological Cardiac Remodeling. Cells 2020; 9:cells9051092.

Abstract
Pathological cardiac remodeling correlates with chronic neurohumoral stimulation and abnormal Ca2+ signaling in cardiomyocytes. Store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) has been described in adult and neonatal murine cardiomyocytes, and Orai1 proteins act as crucial ion-conducting constituents of this calcium entry pathway that can be engaged not only by passive Ca2+ store depletion but also by neurohumoral stimuli such as angiotensin-II. In this study, we, therefore, analyzed the consequences of Orai1 deletion for cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in neonatal and adult cardiomyocytes as well as for other features of pathological cardiac remodeling including cardiac contractile function in vivo. Cellular hypertrophy induced by angiotensin-II in embryonic cardiomyocytes from Orai1-deficient mice was blunted in comparison to cells from litter-matched control mice. Due to lethality of mice with ubiquitous Orai1 deficiency and to selectively analyze the role of Orai1 in adult cardiomyocytes, we generated a cardiomyocyte-specific and temporally inducible Orai1 knockout mouse line (Orai1CM–KO). Analysis of cardiac contractility by pressure-volume loops under basal conditions and of cardiac histology did not reveal differences between Orai1CM–KO mice and controls. Moreover, deletion of Orai1 in cardiomyocytes in adult mice did not protect them from angiotensin-II-induced cardiac remodeling, but cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area and cardiac fibrosis were enhanced. These alterations in the absence of Orai1 go along with blunted angiotensin-II-induced upregulation of the expression of Myoz2 and a lack of rise in angiotensin-II-induced STIM1 and Orai3 expression. In contrast to embryonic cardiomyocytes, where Orai1 contributes to the development of cellular hypertrophy, the results obtained from deletion of Orai1 in the adult myocardium reveal a protective function of Orai1 against the development of angiotensin-II-induced cardiac remodeling, possibly involving signaling via Orai3/STIM1-calcineurin-NFAT related pathways.

Abstract
α-Iso-cubebene (ICB) is a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignin contained in Schisandra chinensis (SC), a well-known medicinal herb that ameliorates cardiovascular symptoms, but the mechanism responsible for this activity has not been determined. To determine the role played by ICB on the regulation of vascular tone, we investigated the inhibitory effects of ICB on vascular contractile responses by adrenergic α-receptor agonists. In addition, we investigated the role on myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation and cytosolic calcium concentration in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). In aortic rings isolated from C57BL/6J mice, ICB significantly attenuated the contraction induced by phenylephrine (PE) and norepinephrine (NE), whereas ICB had no effects on KCl (60 mM)-induced contraction. In vasculatures precontracted with PE, ICB caused marked relaxation of aortic rings with or without endothelium, suggesting a direct effect on VSMC. In cultured rat VSMC, PE or NE increased MLC phosphorylation and increased cytosolic calcium levels. Both of these effects were significantly suppressed by ICB. In conclusion, our results showed that ICB regulated vascular tone by inhibiting MLC phosphorylation and calcium flux into VSMC, and suggest that ICB has anti-hypertensive properties and therapeutic potential for cardiovascular disorders related to vascular hypertension.
