Article Abstract
Levosimendan, a calcium sensitizer, has cardioprotective effects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). Mitophagy plays an important role in MIRI, and the cGAS-STING signaling pathway can participate in mitophagy in a variety of ways. The purpose of this study was to explore the new molecular mechanism by which levosimendan exerts cardioprotective effects in order to provide a new experimental basis for the clinical application of levosimendan. In this study, an isolated MIRI rat model was established, and 48 rats were randomly divided into four groups ( = 12): continuous perfusion group (Group C), ischemia-reperfusion group (IR group), ischemia-reperfusion + levosimendan group (IR + L group), and ischemia-reperfusion + levosimendan + sting activator group (IR + LA group). The hemodynamic indices, myocardial infarction volume, expression of cGAS-STING signaling pathway proteins, and mitophagy-related proteins in isolated rat hearts of the four groups were compared. This study showed that levosimendan can reduce the level of myocardial mitophagy in ischemia-reperfusion rats by inhibiting the cGAS-STING signaling pathway, reducing myocardial injury, and playing a myocardial protective role.

Acute lung injury (ALI) represents a critical clinical challenge characterized by uncontrolled pulmonary inflammation and disrupted tissue homeostasis, often leading to severe respiratory dysfunction. Current pharmacological interventions and vaccines have demonstrated suboptimal clinical outcomes in modulating disease progression, highlighting the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. A key pathophysiological feature of ALI involves dysregulation of redox homeostasis and excessive pulmonary inflammation.

Caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) is a highly conserved serine protease that plays a pivotal role in protein homeostasis and quality control in bacteria, mitochondria of mammalian cells, and plant chloroplasts. As the proteolytic core of the ATP-dependent Clp protease complex, ClpP partners with regulatory ATPases (e.g.

Introduction: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease among the elderly population. It has been posited that the onset and progression of AD are influenced by a combination of various factors. Occlusal support loss due to tooth loss has been reported to be a risk factor triggering cognitive dysfunction.

Background: Cisplatin (DDP) is a clinical first-line chemotherapy drug for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but treatment is often ineffective due to drug resistance. Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is a critical regulator/factor in HCC tumor progression. Our previous research showed that DDP promoted the expression of YAP1 in mice bearing H22 cell in situ liver tumors, which might be related to the poor therapeutic effect of DDP.

Microglial activation-induced neuroinflammation and impaired neuronal mitophagy are recognized as pivotal pathogeneses in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the role of microglial mitophagy in microglial activation during PD development remains unclear, and therapeutic interventions targeting this interaction are lacking. Rhapontigenin (Rhap), a stilbenoid enriched in Vitis vinifera, exhibits dual anti-neuroinflammatory and mitophagy-enhancing properties, but its therapeutic potential and mechanisms in PD are unexplored.
