Article Abstract

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is involved in the pathogenesis of multiple cardiovascular diseases. This study elucidated the biological function of lysine acetyltransferase 5 (KAT5) in cardiomyocyte pyroptosis during MIRI. Oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation and left anterior descending coronary artery ligation were used to establish MIRI models. Here we show, KAT5 and STIP1 homology and U-box-containing protein 1 (STUB1) were downregulated, while large tumor suppressor kinase 2 (LATS2) was upregulated in MIRI models. KAT5/STUB1 overexpression or LATS2 silencing repressed cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. Mechanistically, KAT5 promoted STUB1 transcription via acetylation modulation, and subsequently caused ubiquitination and degradation of LATS2, which activated YAP/β-catenin pathway. Notably, the inhibitory effect of STUB1 overexpression on cardiomyocyte pyroptosis was abolished by LATS2 overexpression or KAT5 depletion. Our findings suggest that KAT5 overexpression inhibits NLRP3-mediated cardiomyocyte pyroptosis to relieve MIRI through modulation of STUB1/LATS2/YAP/β-catenin axis, providing a potential therapeutic target for MIRI.

Objective: Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to cardiac aging progression. Klotho, a recognised anti-aging protein, exerts protective effects against cardiac aging. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the protective effects of Klotho on D-galactose (D-gal)-induced cardiac aging and the underlying mechanisms.

Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) is a member of the Sirtuin family, exhibiting histone deacetylase and ADP-ribosyltransferase activity. This enzyme is involved in several pathways, such as epigenetic regulation and inflammation control. It is essential for preserving cardiac equilibrium and postponing the emergence of cardiovascular disorders.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of sevoflurane (SEV) on cardiomyocyte (CM) pyroptosis following myocardial ischemia (MI). Reverse validation was performed by pharmacologically activating NLRP3 with monosodium urate (MSU) to confirm that SEV's cardioprotective effects were specifically mediated through the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Sprague Dawley rats were randomly assigned to sham (sham), model (conventional anesthesia + MI-reperfusion [MIR] injury modeling), SEV (SEV inhalation anesthesia + MIR injury modeling), and SEV + NLRP3 (SEV inhalation anesthesia + MIR injury modeling + NLRP3) groups.

Background: Heparin reduces myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, which is associated with pyroptosis. As a derivative of heparin, non-anticoagulant heparin (NAH) is rarely researched in this field. This study aims to explore the mechanisms of NAH in myocardial I/R injury and pyroptosis.

Viral myocarditis, an inflammatory heart disorder caused by viral infections, often leads to poor outcomes due to the lack of effective prevention and treatment strategies. Despite the characteristic feature of cardiomyocyte death in this condition, the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic approaches remain poorly understood. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), despite its extensive history in treating various diseases, has not yet been approved for the treatment of viral myocarditis.
