Alpinetin protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting ferroptosis and apoptosis via mitochondrial ferritin.

Purpose: Ischemia-reperfusion injury remains a major problem following myocardial infarction. Alpinetin (ALPT) has been reported to exhibit cardioprotective effects as well as resistance to ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, its role and mechanism during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury are unknown.

Puerarin Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Damage by Targeting Ferroptosis through 14-3-3η Modulation.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury continues to be a significant clinical challenge, and ferroptosis has been identified as a major contributing factor to its development. Puerarin (Pue), an isoflavone derived from , has demonstrated promising cardioprotective effects, although the mechanisms involved are not fully elucidated. This study explores Pue's ability to attenuate myocardial I/R damage through the modulation of ferroptosis, specifically focusing on the role of the 14-3-3η protein.

Puerarin pretreatment provides protection against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury via inhibiting excessive autophagy and apoptosis by modulation of HES1.

The study aimed to elucidate the underlying pharmacological mechanism of the traditional Chinese medicine Pue in ameliorating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), a critical clinical challenge exacerbated by reperfusion therapy. In vivo MIRI and in vitro anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) models were constructed. The results demonstrated that Pue pretreatment effectively alleviated MIRI, as manifested by diminishing the levels of serum CK-MB and LDH, mitigating the extent of myocardial infarction and enhancing cardiac functionality.

Puerarin Protects Myocardium From Ischaemia/Reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting Ferroptosis Through Downregulation of VDAC1.

Despite improvements in interventional techniques leading to faster myocardial reperfusion postmyocardial infarction, there has been a significant rise in the occurrence of myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI). A deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms of MI/RI could offer a crucial approach to reducing myocardial damage and enhancing patient outcomes. This study examined the myocardial protective properties of puerarin (PUE) in the context of MI/RI using hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) or ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury models were employed in H9c2 cells and C57BL/6 mice.

Low levels of supercoiled mitochondrial DNA are involved in heart failure induced by transverse aortic constriction in mice via an inflammatory response mediated by ZBP1.

Background: Inflammation in the myocardium plays a critical role in cardiac remodeling and the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF). Previous studies have shown that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can exist in different topological forms. However, the specific influence of the ratio of supercoiled/relaxed mtDNA on the inflammatory response in cardiomyocytes remains poorly understood.

Investigation of autophagy‑related genes and immune infiltration in calcific aortic valve disease: A bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation.

The present study aimed to elucidate the role of autophagy-related genes (ARGs) in calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) and their potential interactions with immune infiltration via experimental verification and bioinformatics analysis. A total of three microarray datasets (GSE12644, GSE51472 and GSE77287) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and gene set enrichment analysis was performed to identify the relationship between autophagy and CAVD. After differentially expressed genes and differentially expressed ARGs (DEARGs) were identified using CAVD samples and normal aortic valve samples, a functional analysis was performed, including Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses, protein-protein interaction network construction, hub gene identification and validation, immune infiltration and drug prediction.

Berberine inhibits excessive autophagy and protects myocardium against ischemia/reperfusion injury via the RhoE/AMPK pathway.

Several studies have shown that berberine (BBR) is effective in protecting against myocardial ischemia‑reperfusion injury (MI/RI). However, the precise molecular mechanism remains elusive. The present study observed the mechanism and the safeguarding effect of BBR against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) myocardial injury in H9c2 cells.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate confers protection against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by inhibiting ferroptosis, apoptosis, and autophagy via modulation of 14-3-3η.

Previous studies have demonstrated that the underlying mechanisms of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) are complex and involve multiple types of regulatory cell death, including ferroptosis, apoptosis, and autophagy. Thus, we aimed to identify the mechanisms underlying MIRI and validate the protective role of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and its related mechanisms in MIRI. An in vivo and in vitro models of MIRI were constructed.

Resveratrol protects cardiomyocytes against ischemia/reperfusion-induced ferroptosis via inhibition of the VDAC1/GPX4 pathway.

The present study aimed to explore how resveratrol (Res) confers myocardial protection by attenuating ferroptosis. In vivo and in vitro myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) models were established, with or without Res pretreatment. The results showed that Res pretreatment effectively attenuated MIRI, as evidenced by increased cell viability, reduced lactate dehydrogenase activity, decreased infarct size, and maintained cardiac function.

Unveiling macrophage diversity in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury: identification of a distinct lipid-associated macrophage subset.

Background And Objective: Macrophages play a crucial and dichotomous role cardiac repair following myocardial ischemia-reperfusion, as they can both facilitate tissue healing and contribute to injury. This duality is intricately linked to environmental factors, and the identification of macrophage subtypes within the context of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) may offer insights for the development of more precise intervention strategies.

Methods: Specific marker genes were used to identify macrophage subtypes in GSE227088 (mouse single-cell RNA sequencing dataset).

Role of dysregulated ferroptosis‑related genes in cardiomyocyte ischemia‑reperfusion injury: Experimental verification and bioinformatics analysis.

Acute myocardial infarction is a life-threatening condition with high mortality and complication rates. Although myocardial reperfusion can preserve ischemic myocardial tissue, it frequently exacerbates tissue injury, a phenomenon known as ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). However, the underlying pathological mechanisms of IRI remain to be completely understood.

Inhibition of Pre-B Cell Colony Enhancing Factor Reduces Lung Injury in Rats Receiving Cardiopulmonary Bypass.

Objective: Pre-B cell colony enhancing factor (PBEF) is an important proinflammatory cytokine involved in acute lung injury. However, whether PBEF participates in lung injury caused by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is still unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effects of silencing PBEF on lung injury and the sodium and water transport system in rats receiving CPB.
