Candidate SNP Markers Significantly Altering the Affinity of TATA-Binding Protein for the Promoters of Human Hub Genes for Atherogenesis, Atherosclerosis and Atheroprotection. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24109010. [PMID: 37240358 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24109010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease in which focal lesions in arteries promote the build-up of lipoproteins and cholesterol they are transporting. The development of atheroma (atherogenesis) narrows blood vessels, reduces the blood supply and leads to cardiovascular diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death, which has been especially boosted since the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a variety of contributors to atherosclerosis, including lifestyle factors and genetic predisposition. Antioxidant diets and recreational exercises act as atheroprotectors and can retard atherogenesis. The search for molecular markers of atherogenesis and atheroprotection for predictive, preventive and personalized medicine appears to be the most promising direction for the study of atherosclerosis. In this work, we have analyzed 1068 human genes associated with atherogenesis, atherosclerosis and atheroprotection. The hub genes regulating these processes have been found to be the most ancient. In silico analysis of all 5112 SNPs in their promoters has revealed 330 candidate SNP markers, which statistically significantly change the affinity of the TATA-binding protein (TBP) for these promoters. These molecular markers have made us confident that natural selection acts against underexpression of the hub genes for atherogenesis, atherosclerosis and atheroprotection. At the same time, upregulation of the one for atheroprotection promotes human health.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common disease that seriously threatens the health of human beings, especially middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old. It has the characteristics of high prevalence, high disability rate and high mortality rate. Previous studies have shown that adiponectin has therapeutic effects on a variety of CVDs. As a key adipokine, adiponectin, is an abundant peptide-regulated hormone that is mainly released by adipocytes and cardiomyocytes, as well as endothelial and skeletal cells. Adiponectin can protect against CVD by improving lipid metabolism, protecting vascular endothelial cells and inhibiting foam cell formation and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. Further investigation of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the adiponectin system may provide new ideas for the treatment of CVD. Herein, this review aims to describe the structure and function of adiponectin and adiponectin receptors, introduce the function of adiponectin in the protection of cardiovascular disease and analyze the potential use and clinical significance of this hormone in the protection and treatment of cardiovascular disease, which shows that adiponectin can be expected to become a new therapeutic target and biomarker for the diagnosis and treatment of CVD.

Abstract
C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein-9 (CTRP9) is linked to diverse pathological conditions via the effects on cell apoptosis, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress. However, its functional relevance in ischemic brain injury is not well determined. The present work aimed to evaluate the role of CTRP9 in ischemia/reperfusion-associated neuronal injury using an in vitro model. The cultured cortical neurons were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) to simulate ischemia/reperfusion in vitro. CTRP9 level was lowered in cultured neurons exposed to OGD/R. Neurons with overexpressed CTRP9 were resistant to OGD/R-elicited injuries, including neuronal apoptosis, oxidative stress, and pro-inflammatory response. Mechanism research revealed that CTRP9 could boost the activation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) pathway associated with modulation of the Akt-glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) axis. CTRP9 regulated the transduction of the Akt-GSK-3β-Nrf2 cascade via adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1). Restraining Nrf2 could diminish CTRP9-mediated neuroprotective effects in OGD/R-injured neurons. Altogether, these results confirmed that CTRP9 exerts a protective effect on OGD/R-injured neurons by modulating Akt-GSK-3β-Nrf2 cascade via AdipoR1. This work suggests a possible link between CTRP9 and ischemic brain injury.

Abstract
Adiponectin and the other 15 members of the complement 1q (C1q)/tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related protein (CTRP) family are secreted proteins composed of an N-terminal variable domain followed by a stalk region and a characteristic C-terminal trimerizing globular C1q (gC1q) domain originally identified in the subunits of the complement protein C1q. We performed a basic PubMed literature search for articles mentioning the various CTRPs or their receptors in the abstract or title. In this narrative review, we briefly summarize the biology of CTRPs and focus then on the structure, receptors and major signaling pathways of CTRPs. Analyses of CTRP knockout mice and CTRP transgenic mice gave overwhelming evidence for the relevance of the anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects of CTRPs in autoimmune diseases, obesity, atherosclerosis and cardiac dysfunction. CTRPs form homo- and heterotypic trimers and oligomers which can have different activities. The receptors of some CTRPs are unknown and some receptors are redundantly targeted by several CTRPs. The way in which CTRPs activate their receptors to trigger downstream signaling pathways is largely unknown. CTRPs and their receptors are considered as promising therapeutic targets but their translational usage is still hampered by the limited knowledge of CTRP redundancy and CTRP signal transduction.

Abstract
Hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) is characterized by sustained elevation of pulmonary artery pressure produced by vasoconstriction and hyperproliferative remodeling of the pulmonary artery and subsequent right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH). The search for therapeutic targets for cardiovascular pathophysiology has extended in many directions. However, studies focused on mitigating high-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH) have been rare. Because AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is involved in cardiovascular and metabolic pathology, AMPK is often studied as a potential therapeutic target. AMPK is best characterized as a sensor of cellular energy that can also restore cellular metabolic homeostasis. However, AMPK has been implicated in other pathways with vasculoprotective effects. Notably, cellular metabolic stress increases the intracellular ADP/ATP or AMP/ATP ratio, and AMPK activation restores ATP levels by activating energy-producing catabolic pathways and inhibiting energy-consuming anabolic pathways, such as cell growth and proliferation pathways, promoting cardiovascular protection. Thus, AMPK activation plays an important role in antiproliferative, antihypertrophic and antioxidant pathways in the pulmonary artery in HPH. However, AMPK plays contradictory roles in promoting HPH development. This review describes the main findings related to AMPK participation in HPH and its potential as a therapeutic target. It also extrapolates known AMPK functions to discuss the less-studied HAPH context.

Abstract
Obesity in pregnant mothers often leads to a range of obstetric complications, including miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension and diabetes. C1q/TNF-related protein 9 (CTRP9) is an adipokine with an anti-inflammatory effect. The aim of the present study was to identify the role of CTRP9 in the pathogenesis of maternal obesity during pregnancy. Following treatment with palmitic acid (PA), HTR8/SVneo cell viability and CTRP9 expression were analyzed using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot analyses. The effects of CTRP9 overexpression on cell viability, apoptosis, pro-inflammatory cytokine levels and migration were assessed using CCK-8, TUNEL, RT-qPCR and Transwell assays, respectively. Subsequently, sterol-regulatory element binding protein 1c (SREBP1c) overexpression efficiency was verified using RT-qPCR, and its effects on cell viability, apoptosis, pro-inflammatory cytokines and migration damage were then examined in HTR8/SVneo cells. The results showed that CTRP9 overexpression attenuated the inhibition of cell viability and apoptosis caused by PA in HTR8/SVneo cells, reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine release, improved cell migration and regulated the protein expression level of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/SREBP1c signaling. In addition, CTRP9 inhibited SREBP1c expression through AMPK signaling, thereby attenuating the inflammation, apoptosis and inhibited migration caused by PA in HTR8/SVneo cells. In brief, CTRP9 protected against inflammation, apoptosis and migration defects in HTR8/SVneo cells exposed to PA treatment through AMPK/SREBP1c signaling, which suggested the potential role of CTRP9 in alleviating the toxicity of PA.

Abstract
C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 9 (CTRP9) is a newly discovered adipokine that is the closest paralog of adiponectin. Proteolytic cleavage of CTRP9 leads to the release of the globular domain (gCTRP9), which serves as the major circulating subtype. After binding with adiponectin receptor 1 (AdipoR1) and N-cadherin, CTRP9 activates various signaling pathways to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism, vasodilation and cell differentiation. Throughout human development and adult life, CTRP9 controls many biological phenomena. simultaneously, abnormal gene or protein expression of CTRP9 is accompanied by a wide range of human pathological phenomena. In this review, we briefly introduce CTRP9 and its associated signaling pathways and physiological functions, which may be helpful in the understanding of the occurrence of diseases. Moreover, we summarize the broader research prospects of CTRP9 and advances in therapeutic intervention. In recent years, CTRP9 has attracted extensive attention due to its role in the pathogenesis of various diseases, providing further avenues for its exploitation as a potential biomarker or therapeutic target.

AMPK Activation Is Indispensable for the Protective Effects of Caloric Restriction on Left Ventricular Function in Postinfarct Myocardium. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11030448.

Abstract
Background: Caloric restriction (CR) extends lifespan in many species, including mammals. CR is cardioprotective in senescent myocardium by correcting pre-existing mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptotic activation. Furthermore, it confers cardioprotection against acute ischemia-reperfusion injury. Here, we investigated the role of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in mediating the cardioprotective CR effects in failing, postinfarct myocardium. Methods: Ligation of the left coronary artery or sham operation was performed in rats and mice. Four weeks after surgery, left ventricular (LV) function was analyzed by echocardiography, and animals were assigned to different feeding groups (control diet or 40% CR, 8 weeks) as matched pairs. The role of AMPK was investigated with an AMPK inhibitor in rats or the use of alpha 2 AMPK knock-out mice. Results: CR resulted in a significant improvement in LV function, compared to postinfarct animals receiving control diet in both species. The improvement in LV function was accompanied by a reduction in serum BNP, decrease in LV proapoptotic activation, and increase in mitochondrial biogenesis in the LV. Inhibition or loss of AMPK prevented most of these changes. Conclusions: The failing, postischemic heart is protected from progressive loss of LV systolic function by CR. AMPK activation is indispensable for these protective effects.

Abstract
The global burden of obesity has multiplied owing to its rapidly growing prevalence and obesity-related morbidity and mortality. In addition to the classic role of depositing extra energy, adipose tissue actively interferes with the metabolic balance by means of secreting bioactive compounds called adipokines. While most adipokines give rise to inflammatory conditions, the others with anti-inflammatory properties have been the novel focus of attention for the amelioration of cardiometabolic complications. This review compiles the current evidence on the roles of anti-inflammatory adipokines, namely, adiponectin, vaspin, the C1q/TNF-related protein (CTRP) family, secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5), and omentin-1 on cardiometabolic health. Further investigations on the mechanism of action and prospective human trials may pave the way to their clinical application as innovative biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.

Abstract
CTRP1 (C1q/TNF-α [tumour necrosis factor-α]-related protein 1), an adiponectin paralog, is associated with diabetes and adverse events in cardiovascular disease. However, its effect on cardiac function post myocardial infarction (MI) is unclear. Our study aimed to explore the role of CTRP1 in cardiac function post MI. CTRP1 global knockout mice were subjected to left anterior descending ligation to establish the MI model. C57BL6J mice were also administered recombinant CTRP1 protein (200 μg/kg) 7 days post MI. As a result, mice with CTRP1 deficiency exhibited an increased survival rate, a reduced infarct area, improved cardiac function and decreased inflammation and oxidative stress levels at 4 weeks post MI compared with those of mice receiving the CRTP1 injection, whose conditions deteriorated. However, cardiomyocytes with either CTRP1 silencing or CTRP1 treatment showed few differences in inflammation and oxidative stress levels compared with those of the control under hypoxic conditions. The activation of macrophages isolated from CTRP1-deficient mice was decreased in response to interferon-γ, while CTRP1 enhanced the activation of macrophages in response to interferon-γ. Macrophage scavengers and clodronate liposomes antagonized the effects of CTRP1 injection in mice. We also found that CTRP1 regulated macrophage activation via adiponectin receptor 1, which binds to TLR4 on the macrophage membrane. TLR4 knockout also antagonized the effects of the CTRP1 protein on mice with MI. Taken together, these data indicate that CTRP1 supresses cardiac function post MI via TLR4 on macrophages. Targeting CTRP1 may become a promising therapeutic approach to cardiac dysfunction post MI.

Abstract
According to the World Health Organization, metabolic syndrome (MetS) can be defined as a pathological condition characterized by abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. The incidence of MetS keeps rising, as at least 35% of the USA population suffers from MetS. One of the worst comorbidities of metabolic syndrome are cardiovascular diseases that significantly amplifies the mortality associated with this syndrome. There is an urgent need to understand the pathophysiology of MetS to find novel diagnosis, treatment and management to mitigate the MetS and associated complications. Altered circulatory adiponectin levels have been implicated in MetS. Adiponectin has numerous biologic functions including antioxidative, anti-nitrative, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective effects. Being a pleiotropic hormone of multiple tissues, tissue-specific key signaling pathways of adiponectin will help finding specific target/s to blunt the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome and associated disorders. The purpose of this review is to elucidate tissue-specific signaling pathways of adiponectin and possibly identify potential therapeutic targets for MetS as well as to evaluate the potential of adiponectin as a biomarker/therapeutic option in MetS.

[PMID: 33919975 PMCID: PMC8070942 DOI: 10.3390/cells10040905] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Revised: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
C1q/tumor necrosis factor -alpha-related proteins (CTRPs) have been shown to mediate protective cardiovascular effects, but no data exists on their effects on glucose and fatty acid (FA) metabolism in cardiomyocytes. In the present study, adult rat cardiomyocytes and H9C2 cardiomyoblasts were stimulated with various recombinant CTRPs. Glucose or FA uptake, expression of genes involved in glucose or FA metabolism and the role of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and Akt were investigated. Although most CTRPs induced an increase in phosphorylation of AMPK and Akt in cardiomyocytes, mainly CTRP2, 7, 9 and 13 induced GLUT1 and GLUT4 translocation and glucose uptake in cardiomyocytes, despite high structural similarities among CTRPs. AMPK inhibition reduced the CTRPs-mediated activation of Akt, while Akt inhibition did not impair AMPK activation. In addition, CTRP2, 7, 9 and 13 mediated strong effects on the expression of enzymes involved in glucose or FA metabolism. Loss of adiponectin receptor 1, which has been suggested to be involved in CTRP-induced signal transduction, abolished the effects of some but not all CTRPs on glucose metabolism. Targeting the AMPK signaling pathway via CTRPs may offer a therapeutic principle to restore glucose homeostasis by acting on glucose uptake independent of the Akt pathway.

Abstract
Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Left ventricle remodeling, fibrosis, and ischemia/reperfusion injury all contribute to the deterioration of cardiac function and predispose to the onset of heart failure. Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is the universally recognized energy sensor which responds to low ATP levels and restores cellular metabolism. AMPK activation controls numerous cellular processes and, in the heart, it plays a pivotal role in preventing onset and progression of disease. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, known as oxidative stress, can activate AMPK, conferring an additional role of AMPK as a redox-sensor. In this review, we discuss recent insights into the crosstalk between ROS and AMPK. We describe the molecular mechanisms by which ROS activate AMPK and how AMPK signaling can further prevent heart failure progression. Ultimately, we review the potential therapeutic approaches to target AMPK for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and prevention of heart failure.

Abstract
The adipocytokine adiponectin and its structural homologs, the C1q/TNF-related proteins (CTRPs), increase insulin sensitivity, fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial biogenesis. Adiponectin- and CTRP-induced signal transduction has been described to involve the adiponectin receptors and a number of co-receptors including the Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1). LRP1 is another target of the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin-9 (PCSK9) in addition to the LDL-receptor (LDL-R). Here, we investigated the influence of PCSK9 on the metabolic effects of CTRP9, the CTRP with the highest homology to adiponectin. Knockdown of LRP1 in H9C2 cardiomyoblasts blunts the effects of CTRP9 on signal transduction and mitochondrial biogenesis, suggesting its involvement in CTRP9-induced cellular effects. Treatment of adult rat cardiomyocytes with recombinant PCSK9 but not knockdown of endogenous PCSK9 by siRNA results in a strong reduction in LRP1 protein expression and subsequently reduces the mitochondrial biogenic effect of CTRP9. PCSK9 treatment (24 h) blunts the effects of CTRP9-induced signaling cascade activation (AMP-dependent protein kinase, protein kinase B). In addition, the stimulating effects of CTRP9 on cardiomyocyte mitochondrial biogenesis and glucose metabolism (GLUT-4 translocation, glucose uptake) are largely blunted. Basal fatty acid (FA) uptake is strongly reduced by exogenous PCSK9, although protein expression of the PCSK9 target CD36, the key regulator of FA transport in cardiomyocytes, is not altered. In addition, only minor effects of PCSK9 were observed on CTRP9-induced FA uptake or the expression of genes involved in FA metabolism or uptake. Finally, this CTRP9-induced increase in CD36 expression occurs independent from LRP1 and LDL-R. In conclusion, PCSK9 treatment influences LRP1-mediated signaling pathways in cardiomyocytes. Thus, therapeutic PCSK9 inhibition may provide an additional benefit through stimulation of glucose metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis in addition to the known lipid-lowering effects. This could be an important beneficial side effect in situations with impaired mitochondrial function and reduced metabolic flexibility thereby influencing cardiac function.

Abstract
The present study aimed to explore the diagnostic value and prognostic significance of C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 9 (CTRP9) combined with pentraxin-3 (PTX-3) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). A total of 137 patients with coronary heart disease and chest pain were included. Among them, seventy-nine patients with ACS were allocated into a study group and fifty-eight patients with non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) were allocated into a control group. The serum CTRP9, PTX-3 levels were quantified by ELISA, and their correlation with other ACS-related indexes, diagnostic value for ACS and predictive significance for poor prognosis were analyzed. In addition, the risk factors of the poor prognosis of ACS patients were studied. CTRP9 was lowly expressed and PTX-3 was highly expressed in the serum of ACS patients. CTRP9 was negatively correlated with cardiac troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (P<0.05), while PTX-3 was positively correlated with them (P<0.05). Combined detection of CTRP9 and PTX-3 was of high value in the diagnosis and prognosis of ACS patients. In addition, CTRP9 and PTX-3 were independent risk factors for the poor prognosis of ACS. Patients with ACS had lower CTRP9 expression and higher PTX-3 expression than those without ACS. Moreover, the combined detection of CTRP9 and PTX-3 can better evaluate the diagnosis and prognosis of ACS patients.

Caloric restriction reduces sympathetic activity similar to beta-blockers but conveys additional mitochondrio-protective effects in aged myocardium. Sci Rep 2021; 11:1931. [PMID: 33479375 PMCID: PMC7820280 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-81438-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Increased activation of sympathetic nervous system contributes to congestive heart failure (CHF) progression, and inhibition of sympathetic overactivation by beta-blockers is successful in CHF patients. Similarly, caloric restriction (CR) reduces sympathetic activity but mediates additional effects. Here, we compared the cardiac effects of CR (− 40% kcal, 3 months) with beta-blocker therapy (BB), diuretic medication (DF) or control diet in 18-months-old Wistar rats. We continuously recorded blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature and activity with telemetric devices and analysed cardiac function, activated signalling cascades and markers of apoptosis and mitochondrial biogenesis. During our study, left ventricular (LV) systolic function improved markedly (CR), mildly (BB) or even deteriorated (DF; control). Diastolic function was preserved by CR and BB but impaired by DF. CR reduced blood pressure identical to DF and BB and heart rate identical to BB. Plasma noradrenaline was decreased by CR and BB but increased by DF. Only CR reduced LV oxidative damage and apoptosis, induced AMPK and Akt phosphorylation and increased mitochondrial biogenesis. Thus, additive to the reduction of sympathetic activity, CR achieves protective effects on mitochondria and improves LV function and ROS damage in aged hearts. CR mechanisms may provide additional therapeutic targets compared to traditional CHF therapy.

Adiponectin Exerts Peripheral Inhibitory Effects on the Mouse Gastric Smooth Muscle through the AMPK Pathway. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21249617.

Abstract
Some adipokines, such as adiponectin (ADPN), other than being implicated in the central regulation of feeding behavior, may influence gastric motor responses, which are a source of peripheral signals that also influence food intake. The present study aims to elucidate the signaling pathways through which ADPN exerts its actions in the mouse gastric fundus. To this purpose, we used a multidisciplinary approach. The mechanical results showed that ADPN caused a decay of the strip basal tension, which was abolished by the nitric oxide (NO) synthesis inhibitor, L-NG-nitro arginine (L-NNA). The electrophysiological experiments confirmed that all ADPN effects were abolished by L-NNA, except for the reduction of Ca2+ current, which was instead prevented by the inhibitor of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), dorsomorphin. The activation of the AMPK signaling by ADPN was confirmed by immunofluorescence analysis, which also revealed the ADPN R1 receptor (AdipoR1) expression in glial cells of the myenteric plexus. In conclusion, our results indicate that ADPN exerts an inhibitory action on the gastric smooth muscle by acting on AdipoR1 and involving the AMPK signaling pathway at the peripheral level. These findings provide novel bases for considering AMPK as a possible pharmacologic target for the potential treatment of obesity and eating disorders.

Abstract
Reduction oxidation (REDOX) reaction is crucial in life activities, and its dynamic balance is regulated by ROS. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is associated with a variety of metabolic diseases involving in multiple cellular signalling in pathologic and physiological signal transduction. ROS are the by-products of numerous enzymatic reactions in various cell compartments, including the cytoplasm, cell membrane, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mitochondria, and peroxisome. ROS signalling is not only involved in normal physiological processes but also causes metabolic dysfunction and maladaptive responses to inflammatory signals, which depends on the cell type or tissue environment. Excess oxidants are able to alter the normal structure and function of DNA, lipids, and proteins, leading to mutations or oxidative damage. Therefore, excessive oxidative stress is usually regarded as the cause of various pathological conditions, such as cancer, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes, and kidney diseases. Currently, it has been possible to detect diabetes and other cardiac diseases by detecting derivatives accompanied by oxidative stress in vivo as biomarkers, but there is no effective method to treat these diseases. In consequence, it is essential for us to seek new therapy targeting these diseases through understanding the role of ROS signalling in regulating metabolic activity, inflammatory activation, and cardiac diseases related to metabolic dysfunction. In this review, we summarize the current literature on REDOX and its role in the regulation of cardiac metabolism and inflammation, focusing on ROS, local REDOX signalling pathways, and other mechanisms.

Abstract
Exercise training (ET) has been reported to reduce oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the heart following myocardial infarction (MI). Thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) plays a protective role in the infarcted heart. However, whether Trx1 regulates ER stress of the infarcted heart and participates in ET-induced cardiac protective effects are still not well known. In this work, H9c2 cells were treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and recombinant human Trx1 protein (TXN), meanwhile, adult male C57B6L mice were used to establish the MI model, and subjected to a six-week aerobic exercise training (AET) with or without the injection of Trx1 inhibitor, PX-12. Results showed that H2O2 significantly increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and the expression of TXNIP, CHOP and cleaved caspase12, induced cell apoptosis; TXN intervention reduced ROS level and the expression of CHOP and cleaved caspase12, and inhibited cell apoptosis in H2O2-treated H9c2 cells. Furthermore, AET up-regulated endogenous Trx1 protein expression and down-regulated TXNIP expression, restored ROS level and the expression of ER stress-related proteins, inhibited cell apoptosis as well as improved cardiac fibrosis and heart function in mice after MI. PX-12 partly inhibited the AET-induced beneficial effects in the infarcted heart. This study demonstrates that Trx1 attenuates ER stress-induced cell apoptosis, and AET reduces MI-induced ROS overproduction, ER stress and cell apoptosis partly through up-regulating of Trx1 expression in mice with MI.
