Abstract
Ischemic heart diseases and cardiomyopathies are characterized by hypoxia, energy starvation and mitochondrial dysfunction. HIF-1 acts as a cellular oxygen sensor, tuning the balance of metabolic and oxidative stress pathways to provide ATP and sustain cell survival. Acting on mitochondria, HIF-1 regulates different processes such as energy substrate utilization, oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial dynamics. In turn, mitochondrial homeostasis modifications impact HIF-1 activity. This underlies that HIF-1 and mitochondria are tightly interconnected to maintain cell homeostasis. Despite many evidences linking HIF-1 and mitochondria, the mechanistic insights are far from being understood, particularly in the context of cardiac diseases. Here, we explore the current understanding of how HIF-1, reactive oxygen species and cell metabolism are interconnected, with a specific focus on mitochondrial function and dynamics. We also discuss the divergent roles of HIF in acute and chronic cardiac diseases in order to highlight that HIF-1, mitochondria and oxidative stress interaction deserves to be deeply investigated. While the strategies aiming at stabilizing HIF-1 have provided beneficial effects in acute ischemic injury, some deleterious effects were observed during prolonged HIF-1 activation. Thus, deciphering the link between HIF-1 and mitochondria will help to optimize HIF-1 modulation and provide new therapeutic perspectives for the treatment of cardiovascular pathologies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Panax quinquefolius saponins (PQS) and Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) are key bioactive compounds in Panax quinquefolius L. and Panax notoginseng, commonly used in the treatment of clinical ischemic heart disease. However, their potential in mitigating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the protective effects of combined PQS and PNS administration in myocardial hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury and explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS To investigate the involvement of HIF-1α/BNIP3 mitophagy pathway in the myocardial protection conferred by PNS and PQS, we employed small interfering BNIP3 (siBNIP3) to silence key proteins of the pathway. H9C2 cells were categorized into four groups: control, H/R, H/R + PQS + PNS, and H/R + PQS + PNS+siBNIP3. Cell viability was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8, apoptosis rates determined via flow cytometry, mitochondrial membrane potential assessed with the JC-1 fluorescent probes, intracellular reactive oxygen species detected with 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate, mitochondrial superoxide production quantified with MitoSOX Red, and autophagic flux monitored with mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenoviral vectors. Autophagosomes and their ultrastructure were visualized through transmission electron microscopy. Moreover, mRNA and protein levels were analyzed via real-time PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS PQS + PNS administration significantly increased cell viability, reduced apoptosis, lowered reactive oxygen species levels and mitochondrial superoxide production, mitigated mitochondrial dysfunction, and induced autophagic flux. Notably, siBNIP3 intervention did not counteract the cardioprotective effect of PQS + PNS. The PQS + PNS group showed downregulated mRNA expression of HIF-1α and BNIP3, along with reduced HIF-1α protein expression compared to the H/R group. CONCLUSIONS PQS + PNS protects against myocardial H/R injury, potentially by downregulating mitophagy through the HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia is the most common cardiovascular disease. Reperfusion, an important myocardial ischemia tool, causes unexpected and irreversible damage to cardiomyocytes, resulting in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury. Upon stress, especially oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS), autophagy, which degrades the intracellular energy storage to produce metabolites that are recycled into metabolic pathways to buffer metabolic stress, is initiated during myocardial ischemia and MI/R injury. Excellent cardioprotective effects of autophagy regulators against MI and MI/R have been reported. Reversing disordered cardiac metabolism induced by ROS also exhibits cardioprotective action in patients with myocardial ischemia. Herein, we review current knowledge on the crosstalk between ROS, cardiac autophagy, and metabolism in myocardial ischemia and MI/R. Finally, we discuss the possible regulators of autophagy and metabolism that can be exploited to harness the therapeutic potential of cardiac metabolism and autophagy in the diagnosis and treatment of myocardial ischemia and MI/R.

Abstract
In myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI), moderate mitophagy is a protective or adaptive mechanism because of clearing defective mitochondria accumulates during MIRI. However, excessive mitophagy lead to an increase in defective mitochondria and ultimately exacerbate MIRI by causing overproduction or uncontrolled production of mitochondria. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-induced kinase 1 (Pink1), Parkin, FUN14 domain containing 1 (FUNDC1) and B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 2 (BCL-2)/adenovirus E1B19KD interaction protein 3 (BNIP3) are the main mechanistic regulators of mitophagy in MIRI. Pink1 and Parkin are mitochondrial surface proteins involved in the ubiquitin-dependent pathway, while BNIP3 and FUNDC1 are mitochondrial receptor proteins involved in the non-ubiquitin-dependent pathway, which play a crucial role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and mitochondrial quality. These proteins can induce moderate mitophagy or inhibit excessive mitophagy to protect against MIRI but may also trigger excessive mitophagy or insufficient mitophagy, thereby worsening the condition. Understanding the actions of these mitophagy mechanistic proteins may provide valuable insights into the pathological mechanisms underlying MIRI development. Based on the above background, this article reviews the mechanism of mitophagy involved in MIRI through Pink1/Parkin pathway and the receptor mediated pathway led by FUNDC1 and BNIP3, as well as the related drug treatment, aim to provide effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of MIRI.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia exacerbates ischemic brain injury by up-regulating autophagy. However, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. This study aims to determine whether hyperglycemia activates autophagy through the p53-Sesn2-AMPK signaling pathway. Rats were subjected to 30-min middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) with reperfusion for 1- and 3-day under normo- and hyperglycemic conditions; and HT22 cells were exposed to oxygen deprivation (OG) or oxygen-glucose deprivation and re-oxygenation (OGD/R) with high glucose. Autophagy inhibitors, 3-MA and ARI, were used both in vivo and in vitro. The results showed that, compared with the normoglycemia group (NG), hyperglycemia (HG) increased infarct volume and apoptosis in penumbra area, worsened neurological deficit, and augmented autophagy. after MCAO followed by 1-day reperfusion. Further, HG promoted the conversion of LC-3I to LC-3II, decreased p62, increased protein levels of aldose reductase, p53, P-p53ser15, Sesn2, AMPK and numbers of autophagosomes and autolysosomes, detected by transmission electron microscopy and mRFP-GFP-LC3 molecular probe, in the cerebral cortex after ischemia and reperfusion injury in animals or in cultured HT22 cells exposed to hypoxia with high glucose content. Finally, experiments with autophagy inhibitors 3-MA and aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI) revealed that while both inhibitors reduced the number of TUNEL positive neurons and reversed the effects of hyperglycemic ischemia on LC3 and p62, only ARI decreased the levels of p53, P-p53ser15. These results suggested that hyperglycemia might induce excessive autophagy to aggravate the brain injury resulted from I/R and that hyperglycemia might activate the p53-Sesn2-AMPK signaling pathway, in addition to the classical PI3K/AKT/mTOR autophagy pathway.

Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 127:111378. [PMID: 38141408 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.111378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Synovial hypoxia, a critical pathological characteristic of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), significantly contributes to synovitis and synovial hyperplasia. In response to hypoxic conditions, fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) undergo adaptive changes involving gene expression modulation, with hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF) playing a pivotal role. The regulation of BCL2/adenovirus e1B 19 kDa protein interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization segment-like receptor family 3 (NLRP3) expression has been demonstrated to be regulated by HIF-1. The objective of this study was to examine the molecular mechanism that contributes to the aberrant activation of FLS in response to hypoxia. Specifically, the interaction between BNIP3-mediated mitophagy and NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis was conjointly highlighted. METHODS The research methodology employed Western blot and immunohistochemistry techniques to identify the occurrence of mitophagy in synovial tissue affected by RA. Additionally, the levels of mitophagy under hypoxic conditions were assessed using Western blot, immunofluorescence, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), and CUT&Tag assays. Pyroptosis was observed through electron microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and Western blot analysis. Furthermore, the quantity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured. The silencing of HIF-1α and BNIP3 was achieved through the transfection of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) into cells. RESULTS In the present study, a noteworthy increase in the expression of BNIP3 and LC3B was observed in the synovial tissue of patients with RA. Upon exposure to hypoxia, FLS of RA exhibited BNIP3-mediated mitophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis. It appears that hypoxia regulates the expression of BNIP3 and NLRP3 through the transcription factor HIF-1. Additionally, the activation of mitophagy has been observed to effectively inhibit hypoxia-induced pyroptosis by reducing the intracellular levels of ROS. CONCLUSION In summary, the activation of FLS in RA patients under hypoxic conditions involves both BNIP3-mediated mitophagy and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis. Additionally, mitophagy can suppress hypoxia-induced FLS pyroptosis by eliminating ROS and inhibiting the HIF-1α/NLRP3 pathway.

Abstract
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) displays normal or near-normal left ventricular ejection fraction, diastolic dysfunction, cardiac hypertrophy, and poor exercise capacity. Berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid, possesses cardiovascular benefits. Adult male mice were assigned to chow or high-fat diet with L-NAME ("two-hit" model) for 15 weeks. Diastolic function was assessed using echocardiography and noninvasive Doppler technique. Myocardial morphology, mitochondrial ultrastructure, and cardiomyocyte mechanical properties were evaluated. Proteomics analysis, autophagic flux, and intracellular Ca2+ were also assessed in chow and HFpEF mice. The results show exercise intolerance and cardiac diastolic dysfunction in "two-hit"-induced HFpEF model, in which unfavorable geometric changes such as increased cell size, interstitial fibrosis, and mitochondrial swelling occurred in the myocardium. Diastolic dysfunction was indicated by the elevated E value, mitral E/A ratio, and E/e' ratio, decreased e' value and maximal velocity of re-lengthening (-dL/dt), and prolonged re-lengthening in HFpEF mice. The effects of these processes were alleviated by berberine. Moreover, berberine ameliorated autophagic flux, alleviated Drp1 mitochondrial localization, mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and fragmentation, and promoted intracellular Ca2+ reuptake into sarcoplasmic reticulum by regulating phospholamban and SERCA2a. Finally, berberine alleviated diastolic dysfunction in "two-hit" diet-induced HFpEF model possibly because of the promotion of autophagic flux, inhibition of mitochondrial fragmentation, and cytosolic Ca2+ overload.

The mechanism and targeted intervention of the HIF-1 pathway in improving atherosclerotic heart's sensitivity to ischemic postconditioning. Free Radic Biol Med 2023; 208:494-509. [PMID: 37660838 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2023.08.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND IPoC possesses a preventive effect against IR injury in healthy myocardium, but IPoC's protective effect on atherosclerotic myocardium is controversial. The current investigation aims to determine whether IPoC remains protective in atherosclerotic myocardium subjected to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury; to explore the specific mechanisms by which IPoC exerts cardioprotection; to explore whether HIF-1 upregulation combined with IPoC could further the provide cardioprotection; and to gaze at the specific mechanism whereby combined treatment expert the cardioprotection. METHODS ApoE-/- mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) were used to develop a model of atherosclerosis. The myocardial IR model was induced by occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery for 45 min, followed by reperfusion for 120 min. The protection of IPoC in both healthy and atherosclerotic myocardium was evaluated by measuring oxidative stress, apoptosis, infarct size, pathology, mitochondrial dysfunction and morphology of myocardium. The specific mechanism by which IPoC exerts cardioprotection in healthy and atherosclerotic myocardium was observed by measuring the expression of proteins involved in HIF-1, APMK and RISK pathways. The effect of HIF-1α overexpression on the cardioprotection by IPoC was observed by intravenous AAV9 -HIF-1α injection. RESULTS In healthy ischemic myocardium, IPoC exerted myocardial protective effects (antioxidant, anti-apoptosis, and improved mitochondrial function) through the activation of HIF-1, AMPK and RISK pathways. In atherosclerotic ischemic myocardium, IPoC exerted cardioprotection only through the activation of HIF-1 pathway; however, HIF-1 overexpression combined IPoC restored the activation of AMPK and RISK pathways, thereby further alleviating the myocardial IR injury. CONCLUSIONS In the atherosclerotic state, the HIF-1 pathway is the intrinsic mechanism by which IPoC exerts cardioprotective effects. The combination of HIF-1 upregulation and IPoC has a significant effect in reducing myocardial injury, which is worth being promoted and advocated. In addition, HIF-1-AMPK and HIF-1-RISK may be two endogenous cardioprotective signalling pathways with great value, which deserve to be thoroughly investigated in the future.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a novel type of regulated cell death (RCD) discovered in recent years, where abnormal intracellular iron accumulation leads to the onset of lipid peroxidation, which further leads to the disruption of intracellular redox homeostasis and triggers cell death. Iron accumulation with lipid peroxidation is considered a hallmark of ferroptosis that distinguishes it from other RCDs. Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a process of increased myocardial cell injury that occurs during coronary reperfusion after myocardial ischemia and is associated with high post-infarction mortality. Multiple experiments have shown that ferroptosis plays an important role in MIRI pathophysiology. This review systematically summarized the latest research progress on the mechanisms of ferroptosis. Then we report the possible link between the occurrence of MIRI and ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes. Finally, we discuss and analyze the related drugs that target ferroptosis to attenuate MIRI and its action targets, and point out the shortcomings of the current state of relevant research and possible future research directions. It is hoped to provide a new avenue for improving the prognosis of the acute coronary syndrome.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction remains the leading cause of death in humans. Timely restoration of blood perfusion to ischemic myocardium remains the most effective strategy in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction, which can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. However, after restoration of blood flow and reperfusion, myocardial injury will aggravate and induce apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, a process called myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Studies have shown that the loss and death of cardiomyocytes caused by oxidative stress, iron load, increased lipid peroxidation, inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction, etc., are involved in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. In recent years, with the in-depth research on the pathology of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, people have gradually realized that there is a new form of cell death in the pathological process of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, namely ferroptosis. A number of studies have found that in the myocardial tissue of patients with acute myocardial infarction, there are pathological changes closely related to ferroptosis, such as iron metabolism disorder, lipid peroxidation, and increased reactive oxygen species free radicals. Natural plant products such as resveratrol, baicalin, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, naringenin, and astragaloside IV can also exert therapeutic effects by correcting the imbalance of these ferroptosis-related factors and expression levels. Combining with our previous studies, this review summarizes the regulatory mechanism of natural plant products intervening ferroptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in recent years, in order to provide reference information for the development of targeted ferroptosis inhibitor drugs for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The reasons for poor healing of pressure injuries are poorly understood. Vascular ulcers are worsened by extracellular release of hemoglobin, so we examined the impact of myoglobin (Mb) iron in murine muscle pressure injuries (mPI). Tests used Mb-knockout or treatment with deferoxamine iron chelator (DFO). Unlike acute injuries from cardiotoxin, mPI regenerated poorly with a lack of viable immune cells, persistence of dead tissue (necro-slough), and abnormal deposition of iron. However, Mb-knockout or DFO-treated mPI displayed a reversal of the pathology: decreased tissue death, decreased iron deposition, decrease in markers of oxidative damage, and higher numbers of intact immune cells. Subsequently, DFO treatment improved myofiber regeneration and morphology. We conclude that myoglobin iron contributes to tissue death in mPI. Remarkably, a large fraction of muscle death in untreated mPI occurred later than, and was preventable by, DFO treatment, even though treatment started 12 hr after pressure was removed. This demonstrates an opportunity for post-pressure prevention to salvage tissue viability.

Abstract
Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) plays a critical role in the mechanisms that allow cells to adapt to various oxygen levels in the environment. Specifically, HIF-1⍺ has shown to be widely involved in cellular repair, survival, and energy metabolism. HIF-1⍺ has also been found in increased levels in cancer cells, highlighting the importance of balance in the hypoxic response. Promoting HIF-1⍺ activity as a potential therapy for degenerative diseases and inhibiting HIF-1⍺ as a therapy for pathologies with overactive cell proliferation are actively being explored. Digoxin and metformin, HIF-1⍺ inhibitors, and deferoxamine and ⍺-ketoglutarate analogues, HIF-1⍺ activators, are being studied for application in age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinitis pigmentosa. However, these same medications have retinal toxicities that must be assessed before implementation of therapeutic care. Herein, we highlight the duality of therapeutic and toxic potential of HIF-1⍺ that must be carefully assessed prior to its clinical application in retinal disorders.

Polydatin Ameliorates High Fructose-Induced Podocyte Oxidative Stress via Suppressing HIF-1α/NOX4 Pathway. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14102202.

Abstract
Long-term high fructose intake drives oxidative stress, causing glomerular podocyte injury. Polydatin, isolated from Chinese herbal medicine Polygonum cuspidatum, is used as an antioxidant agent that protects kidney function. However, it remains unclear how polydatin prevents oxidative stress-driven podocyte damage. In this study, polydatin attenuated high fructose-induced high expression of HIF-1α, inhibited NOX4-mediated stromal cell-derived factor-1α/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (SDF-1α/CXCR4) axis activation, reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in rat glomeruli and cultured podocytes. As a result, polydatin up-regulated nephrin and podocin, down-regulated transient receptor potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6) in these animal and cell models. Moreover, the data from HIF-1α siRNA transfection showed that high fructose increased NOX4 expression and aggravated SDF-1α/CXCR4 axis activation in an HIF-1α-dependent manner, whereas polydatin down-regulated HIF-1α to inhibit NOX4 and suppressed SDF-1α/CXCR4 axis activation, ameliorating high fructose-induced podocyte oxidative stress and injury. These findings demonstrated that high fructose-driven HIF-1α/NOX4 pathway controlled podocyte oxidative stress damage. Intervention of this disturbance by polydatin could help the development of the therapeutic strategy to combat podocyte damage associated with high fructose diet.

Abstract
Vanillic acid, a phenolic compound mainly obtained from the foot of Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora Pennell, has been demonstrated to possess a cardiovascular-protective effect in previous studies. However, there is lack of research on vanillic acid protecting cardiomyocytes from oxidative stress injury by mediating mitophagy. In the present study, oxidative stress injury in the H9c2 cell line was induced by H2O2. Our results confirmed that vanillic acid mitigated apoptosis and injury triggered by oxidative stress, evidenced by the decline in production of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde and level of lactate dehydrogenase and the increase of superoxide dismutase and glutathione. The use of vanillic acid could also improve the polarization of mitochondrial membrane potential and decrease the cellular calcium level. After treatment by vanillic acid, impaired autophagy flux and mitophagy were improved, and the length of mitochondria was restored. Vanillic acid increased the expression of PINK1, Parkin, Mfn2, and the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I and decreased the expression of p62. But, under the intervention of mitophagy inhibitor 3-MA, vanillic acid could not change the expression of PINK1/Parkin/Mfn2 and downstream genes to affect cell autophagy, mitophagy, and mitochondrial function. Our findings suggested that vanillic acid activated mitophagy to improve mitochondrial function, in which the PINK1/Parkin/Mfn2 pathway could be the potential regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Background Cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIRI) is the pathophysiological basis of various cerebrovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to explore the role of HIF-1α/BNIP3 in the alleviating effect of IL-4 on CIRI in mice. Methodology Mice were randomly divided into sham operation (Sham), ischemia reperfusion (IR), IL-4, HIF-1α inhibitor 2ME2 and IL-4+2ME2 groups. Middle cerebral artery occlusion model was established. After 24-h reperfusion, neurologic deficit score (NDS) was given. Cerebral infarction volume and brain water content were measured by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining and dry-wet weights, respectively. Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining. SOD, MDA and ROS levels, and HIF-1α, BNIP3, LC3II and Beclin-1 expressions were detected through colorimetry and Western blotting, respectively. Results Compared with IR group, NDS, cerebral infarction volume, brain water content, apoptosis rate, and MDA and ROS levels decreased, while SOD, HIF-1α, BNIP3, LC3-II and Beclin-1 levels increased in IL-4 group (P<0.05). 2ME2 and IL-4+2ME2 groups had decreased NDS, cerebral infarction volume, brain water content, apoptosis rate and MDA, ROS, HIF-1α, BNIP3, LC3-II and Beclin-1 levels, but increased SOD level compared with those of IL-4 group (P<0.05). Conclusion IL-4 reduces apoptosis and oxidative stress through activating the HIF-1α/BNIP3 pathway, thereby alleviating mouse CIRI.

Abstract
Despite promising breakthroughs in diagnosing and treating acute coronary syndromes, cardiovascular disease’s high global mortality rate remains indisputable. Nearly half of these patients died of ischemic heart disease. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting can rapidly restore interrupted blood flow and become the most effective method for salvaging viable myocardium. However, restoring blood flow could increase the risk of other complications and myocardial cell death attributed to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). How to reduce the damage of blood reperfusion to ischemic myocardium has become an urgent problem to be solved. In preclinical experiments, many treatments have substantial cardioprotective effects against myocardial IRI. However, the transition from these cardioprotective therapies to clinically beneficial therapies for patients with acute myocardial infarction remains elusive. The reasons for the failure of the clinical translation may be multi-faceted, and three points are summarized here: (1) Our understanding of the complex pathophysiological mechanisms of myocardial IRI is far from enough, and the classification of specific therapeutic targets is not rigorous, and not clear enough; (2) Most of the clinical patients have comorbidities, and single cardioprotective strategies including ischemia regulation strategies cannot exert their due cardioprotective effects under conditions of hyperglycemia, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and aging; (3) Most preclinical experimental results are based on adult, healthy animal models. However, most clinical patients had comorbidities and received multiple drug treatments before reperfusion therapy. In 2019, COST Action proposed a multi-target drug combination initiative for prospective myocardial IRI; the optimal cardioprotective strategy may be a combination of additive or synergistic multi-target therapy, which we support. By establishing more reasonable preclinical models, screening multi-target drug combinations more in line with clinical practice will benefit the translation of clinical treatment strategies.

Abstract
The current effective method for the treatment of myocardial infarction is timely restoration of the blood supply to the ischemic area of the heart. Although reperfusion is essential for reestablishing oxygen and nutrient supplies, it often leads to additional myocardial damage, creating an important clinical dilemma. Reports from long-term studies have confirmed that mitochondrial damage is the critical mechanism in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Mitochondria are dynamic and possess a quality control system that targets mitochondrial quantity and quality by modifying mitochondrial fusion, fission, mitophagy, and biogenesis and protein homeostasis to maintain a healthy mitochondrial network. The system of mitochondrial quality control involves complex molecular machinery that is highly interconnected and associated with pathological changes such as oxidative stress, calcium overload, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Because of the critical role of the mitochondrial quality control systems, many reports have suggested that defects in this system are among the molecular mechanisms underlying myocardial reperfusion injury. In this review, we briefly summarize the important role of the mitochondrial quality control in cardiomyocyte function and focus on the current understanding of the regulatory mechanisms and molecular pathways involved in mitochondrial quality control in cardiac I/R damage.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Activation of adventitial fibroblasts (AFs) on vascular injury contributes to vascular remodeling. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gaseous signal molecule, modulates various cardiovascular functions. The aim of this study was to explore whether exogenous H2S ameliorates transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-induced activation of AFs and, if so, to determine the underlying molecular mechanisms. Immunofluorescent staining and western blot were used to determine the expression of collagen I and α-smooth muscle actin. The proliferation and migration of AFs were performed by using cell counting Kit-8 and transwell assay, respectively. The mitochondrial morphology was assessed by using MitoTracker Red staining. The activation of signaling pathway was evaluated by western blot. The mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial membrane potential were determined by MitoSOX and JC-1 (5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1,3,3'-tetraethylbenzimidazolyl carbocyanine iodide) staining. Our study demonstrated exogenous H2S treatment dramatically suppressed TGF-β1-induced AF proliferation, migration, and phenotypic transition by blockage of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1)-mediated mitochondrial fission and regulated mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation. Moreover, exogenous H2S reversed TGF-β1-induced mitochondrial fission and AF activation by modulating Rho-associated protein kinase 1-dependent phosphorylation of Drp1. In conclusion, our results suggested that exogenous H2S attenuates TGF-β1-induced AF activation through suppression of Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission in a Rho-associated protein kinase 1-dependent fashion.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the functional role of hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) in human neuroblastoma cells. METHODS BNIP3 small-interfering RNA (BNIP3-siRNA) sequence was synthesized and used to transfect human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell lines. Thereafter, BNIP3 expression at mRNA and protein levels and its effects on the cell proliferation were analyzed. The most effective pair of siRNA was selected to knockdown the expression level of BNIP3. Moreover, the effects of HPC on oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R)-induced apoptosis and autophagy in SH-SY5Y cells were explored to further reveal the possible mechanisms underlying HPC. RESULTS BNIP3-siRNA attenuated the protective effects of HPC by decreasing the cell viability, increasing the enzymatic activity of caspase-3 and 9, increasing the rate of apoptosis, and increasing the protein expression level of activated caspase-3. Additionally, BNIP3-siRNA had no significant influence on the expression level of HIF-1α induced by HPC, while it substantially inhibited HPC-induced BNIP3/Beclin1 and autophagy. CONCLUSIONS HPC promoted autophagy through regulating BNIP3 to reduce OGD/R.

Inhibition of UBA5 Expression and Induction of Autophagy in Breast Cancer Cells by Usenamine A. Biomolecules 2021; 11:biom11091348. [PMID: 34572561 PMCID: PMC8469757 DOI: 10.3390/biom11091348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Breast cancer is now the most common type of cancer worldwide, surpassing lung cancer. This issue is further worsened by the lack of effective therapies for the disease. Recent reports indicate that the inhibition of ubiquitin-like modifier-activating enzyme 5 (UBA5) can impede tumor development. However, there have been few reports regarding UBA5-inhibiting compounds. This work studied usenamine A, a natural product from the lichen Usnea longissimi that exhibits UBA5-inhibitory effects. Bioinformatics analysis was performed using public databases, and the anti-proliferative ability of usenamine A in breast cancer cells was examined through MTS and colony formation assays. Flow cytometry and western blot analysis were also conducted to examine and analyze cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. In addition, LC3B-RFP and UBA5 expression plasmids were used for the analysis of usenamine A-induced autophagy. According to the bioinformatics analysis results, UBA5 was upregulated in breast cancer. According to in vitro studies, usenamine A displayed prominent anti-proliferative activity and resulted in G2/M phase arrest in MDA-MB-231 cells. Moreover, usenamine A induced autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress in MDA-MB-231 cells. In conclusion, the findings support the potential of usenamine A as an agent that can attenuate the development and progression of breast cancer.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) are commonly used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Whether PNS can protect myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by regulating the forkhead box O3a hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (FOXO3a/HIF-1α) cell signaling pathway remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect of PNS on H9c2 cardiomyocytes through the FOXO3a/HIF-1α cell signaling pathway. Hypoxia and reoxygenation of H9C2 cells were used to mimic MIRI in vitro, and the cells were treated with PNS, 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME2), and LY294002." Cell proliferation, lactate dehydrogenase, and malonaldehyde were used to evaluate the degree of cell injury. The level of reactive oxygen species was detected with a fluorescence microscope. The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of autophagy-related proteins and apoptosis-related proteins was detected by western blot assay. PNS could reduce H9c2 hypoxia-reoxygenation injury by promoting autophagy and inhibiting apoptosis through the HIF-1α/FOXO3a cell signaling pathway. Furthermore, the protective effects of PNS were abolished by HIF-1α inhibitor 2ME2 and PI3K/Akt inhibitor LY294002. PNS could reduce H9c2 hypoxia-reoxygenation injury by promoting autophagy and inhibiting apoptosis through the HIF-1α/FOXO3a cell signaling pathway.

The Protective Effect of Aspirin Eugenol Ester on Oxidative Stress to PC12 Cells Stimulated with H 2O 2 through Regulating PI3K/Akt Signal Pathway. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:5527475. [PMID: 34257805 PMCID: PMC8249132 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5527475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 05/28/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Aspirin eugenol ester (AEE) is a new pharmaceutical compound esterified by aspirin and eugenol, which has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and other pharmacological activities. This study is aimed at identifying the protective effect of AEE against H2O2-induced apoptosis in rat adrenal pheochromocytoma PC12 cells and the possible mechanisms. The results of cell viability assay showed that AEE could increase the viability of PC12 cells stimulated by H2O2, while AEE alone had no significant effect on the viability of PC12 cells. Compared with the control group, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were significantly decreased, and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) was significantly increased in the H2O2 group. By AEE pretreatment, the level of MDA was reduced and the levels of SOD, CAT, and GSH-Px were increased in H2O2-stimulated PC12 cells. In addition, AEE could reduce the apoptosis of PC12 cells induced by H2O2 via reducing superoxide anion, intracellular ROS, and mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) and increasing the levels of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). Furthermore, the results of western blotting showed that compared with the control group, the expression of p-PI3K, p-Akt, and Bcl-2 was significantly decreased, while the expression of Caspase-3 and Bax was significantly increased in the H2O2 group. In the AEE group, AEE pretreatment could upregulate the expression of p-PI3K, p-Akt, and Bcl-2 and downregulate the expression of Caspase-3 and Bax in PC12 cells stimulated with H2O2. The silencing of PI3K with shRNA and its inhibitor-LY294002 could abrogate the protective effect of AEE in PC12 cells. Therefore, AEE has a protective effect on H2O2-induced PC12 cells by regulating the PI3K/Akt signal pathway to inhibit oxidative stress.

Abstract
Mitochondria are important organelles in eukaryotic cells. Normal mitochondrial homeostasis is subject to a strict mitochondrial quality control system, including the strict regulation of mitochondrial production, fission/fusion and mitophagy. The strict and accurate modulation of the mitochondrial quality control system, comprising the mitochondrial fission/fusion, mitophagy and other processes, can ameliorate the myocardial injury of myocardial ischaemia and ischaemia-reperfusion after myocardial infarction, which plays an important role in myocardial protection after myocardial infarction. Further research into the mechanism will help identify new therapeutic targets and drugs for the treatment of myocardial infarction. This article aims to summarize the recent research regarding the mitochondrial quality control system and its molecular mechanism involved in myocardial infarction, as well as the potential therapeutic targets in the future.

The Role of Mitochondrial Quality Control in Cardiac Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2021; 2021:5543452.

Abstract
A healthy mitochondrial network produces a large amount of ATP and biosynthetic intermediates to provide sufficient energy for myocardium and maintain normal cell metabolism. Mitochondria form a dynamic and interconnected network involved in various cellular metabolic signaling pathways. As mitochondria are damaged, controlling mitochondrial quantity and quality is activated by changing their morphology and tube network structure, mitophagy, and biogenesis to replenish a healthy mitochondrial network to preserve cell function. There is no doubt that mitochondrial dysfunction has become a key factor in many diseases. Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is a pathological manifestation of various heart diseases. Cardiac ischemia causes temporary tissue and organelle damage. Although reperfusion is essential to compensate for nutrient deficiency, blood flow restoration inconsequently further kills the previously ischemic cardiomyocytes. To date, dysfunctional mitochondria and disturbed mitochondrial quality control have been identified as critical IR injury mechanisms. Many researchers have detected abnormal mitochondrial morphology and mitophagy, as well as aberrant levels and activity of mitochondrial biogenesis factors in the IR injury model. Although mitochondrial damage is well-known in myocardial IR injury, the causal relationship between abnormal mitochondrial quality control and IR injury has not been established. This review briefly describes the molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control, summarizes our current understanding of the complex role of mitochondrial quality control in IR injury, and finally speculates on the possibility of targeted control of mitochondria and the methods available to mitigate IR injury.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced autophagy is involved in sepsis-associated myocardial injury with increased PKCβ2 activation. We previously found hyperglycemia-induced PKCβ2 activation impaired the expression of caveolin-3 (Cav-3), the dominant isoform to form cardiomyocytes caveolae which modulate eNOS signaling to confer cardioprotection in diabetes. However, little is known about the roles of PKCβ2 in autophagy and Cav-3/eNOS signaling in cardiomyocytes during LPS exposure. We hypothesize LPS-induced PKCβ2 activation promotes autophagy and impairs Cav-3/eNOS signaling in LPS-treated cardiomyocytes. H9C2 cardiomyocytes were treated with LPS (10 µg/mL) in the presence or absence of PKCβ2 inhibitor CGP53353 (CGP, 1 µM) or autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA, 10 µM). LPS stimulation induced cytotoxicity overtime in H9C2 cardiomyocytes, accompanied with excessive PKCβ2 activation. Selective inhibition of PKCβ2 with CGP significantly reduced LPS-induced cytotoxicity and autophagy (measured by LC-3II, Beclin-1, p62 and autophagic flux). In addition, CGP significantly attenuated LPS-induced oxidative injury, and improved Cav-3 expression and eNOS activation, similar effects were shown by the treatment of autophagy inhibitor 3-MA. LPS-induced myocardial injury is associated with excessive PKCβ2 activation, which contributes to elevated autophagy and impaired Cav-3/eNOS signaling. Selective inhibition of PKCβ2 improves Cav-3/eNOS signaling and attenuates LPS-induced injury through inhibiting autophagy in H9C2 cardiomyocytes.

Propofol Protects Against Hepatic Ischemia Reperfusion Injury via Inhibiting Bnip3-Mediated Oxidative Stress. Inflammation 2021; 44:1288-1301. [PMID: 33496895 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-021-01416-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2020] [Revised: 12/30/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Propofol (PRO) protects against hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Bnip3 is involved in the I/R-induced injury. This study investigated whether the effect of PRO on hepatic hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury was realized through regulating Bnip3. After establishing a hepatic ischemia reperfusion (I/R ) injury model in mice, the serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were determined by an automatic biochemical analyzer. The histopathology and apoptosis of liver tissues were detected by hematoxylin-eosin and TUNEL staining. After the H/R liver cells were cultured and treated with PRO, the viability, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), TNF-α, and IL-6 were detected by MTT, flow cytometry, colorimetry, and ELISA. The expressions of Bnip3 and apoptosis-related factors in I/R mouse liver tissues and H/R cells were determined by immunohistochemical assay, immunofluorescence, Western blot, or RT-qPCR. PRO ameliorated the abnormal histopathology, reduced cell apoptosis and the levels of AST, ALT, Bnip3, Cleaved Caspase-3, and Bax, but upregulated the Bcl-2 level in the liver tissues of I/R mice. In H/R liver cells, PRO promoted the cell viability, downregulated the levels of LDH, MDA, TNF-α, IL-6, and reduced ROS production. Moreover, PRO promoted the downregulated expressions of cytosolic Bnip3, total Bni3p, Cleaved Caspase-3, and Bax and upregulated the Bcl-2 level. siBnip3 reversed the effect of H/R on the liver cells, and its overexpression also reversed the effect of PRO on H/R-induced liver cells. PRO protects against hepatic I/R injury via inhibiting Bnip3.

Ginsenoside Re Treatment Attenuates Myocardial Hypoxia/Reoxygenation Injury by Inhibiting HIF-1α Ubiquitination. Front Pharmacol 2020; 11:532041.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown an attenuating effect of ginsenoside Re on myocardial injury induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study was designed to determine the underlying mechanism by which ginsenoside Re protects from myocardial injury induced by H/R. HL-1 cells derived from AT-1 mouse atrial cardiomyocyte tumor line were divided into control, H/R, and H/R + ginsenoside Re groups. Cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay. ATP levels were quantified by enzymatic assays. Signaling pathway was predicted by network pharmacology analyses and verified by luciferase assay and gene-silencing experiment. The relationship between ginsenoside Re and its target genes and proteins was analyzed by docking experiments, allosteric site analysis, real-time PCR, and ubiquitination and immunoprecipitation assays. Our results showed that ginsenoside Re treatment consistently increased HL-1 cell viability and significantly up-regulated ATP levels after H/R-induced injury. Network pharmacology analysis suggested that the effect of ginsenoside Re was associated with the regulation of the Hypoxia-inducing factor 1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway. Silencing of HIF-1α abrogated the effect of ginsenoside Re on HL-1 cell viability, which was restored by transfection with an HIF-1α-expressing plasmid. Results of the bioinformatics analysis suggested that ginsenoside Re docked at the binding interface between HIF-1α and the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase, preventing VHL from binding HIF-1α, thereby inhibiting the ubiquitination of HIF-1α. To validate the results of the bioinformatics analysis, real-time PCR, ubiquitination and immunoprecipitation assays were performed. Compared with the mRNA expression levels of the H/R group, ginsenoside Re did not change expression of HIF-1α mRNA, while protein level of HIF-1α increased and that of HIF-1α[Ub]n decreased following ginsenoside Re treatment. Immunoprecipitation results showed that the amount of HIF-1α bound to VHL substantially decreased following ginsenoside Re treatment. In addition, ginsenoside Re treatment increased the expression of GLUT1 (glucose transporter 1) and REDD1 (regulated in development and DNA damage response 1), which are targets of HIF-1α and are critical for cell metabolism and viability. These results suggested that Ginsenoside Re treatment attenuated the myocardial injury induced by H/R, and the possible mechanism was associated with the inhibition of HIF-1α ubiquitination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) small nucleolar RNA host gene 14 (SNHG14) is associated with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CI/R) injury. This work aims to explore the role of SNHG14 in CI/R injury. METHODS HT22 (mouse hippocampal neuronal cells) cell model was established by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) treatment. The interaction among SNHG14, miR-182-5p and BNIP3 was verified by luciferase reporter assay. Flow cytometry, western blot and quantitative real-time PCR were performed to examine apoptosis, the expression of genes and proteins. RESULTS SNHG14 and BNIP3 were highly expressed, and miR-182-5p was down-regulated in the OGD/R-induced HT22 cells. OGD/R-induced HT22 cells exhibited an increase in apoptosis. SNHG14 overexpression promoted apoptosis and the expression of cleaved-caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-9 in the OGD/R-induced HT22 cells. Moreover, SNHG14 up-regulation enhanced the expression of BNIP3, Beclin-1, and LC3II/LC3I in the OGD/R-induced HT22 cells. Furthermore, SNHG14 regulated BNIP3 expression by sponging miR-182-5p. MiR-182-5p overexpression or BNIP3 knockdown repressed apoptosis in OGD/R-induced HT22 cells, which was abolished by SNHG14 up-regulation. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that lncRNA SNHG14 promotes OGD/R-induced neuron injury by inducing excessive mitophagy via miR-182-5p/BINP3 axis in HT22 mouse hippocampal neuronal cells. Thus, SNHG14/miR-182-5p/BINP3 axis may be a valuable target for CI/R injury therapies.
