Interference with the expression of S1PR1 or STAT3 attenuates valvular damage due to rheumatic heart disease
Int J Mol Med. 2021 Sep;48(3):179. doi: 10.3892/ijmm.2021.5012. Epub 2021 Jul 23.ABSTRACTRheumatic heart disease (RHD) affects numerous individuals annually; however, its pathogenesis remains unclear. The sphingosine 1‑phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) have recently been shown to be involved in valvular damage via the promotion of the differentiation of T helper 17 (Th17) cells during the development of RHD‑induced valvular damage. The present study investigated whether altering the expression of S1PR1 or STAT3 attenuates valvular damage due to RHD. Inactivated ...

HDAC1 and 2 regulate endothelial VCAM-1 expression and atherogenesis by suppressing methylation of the GATA6 promoter
Conclusions: HDAC1/2 contributes to VCAM-1 expression and atherosclerosis by suppressing STAT3 acetylation-dependent GATA6 promoter methylation. These findings may provide a rationale for HDAC1/2-targeting therapy in atherosclerotic heart disease.

Schisandrin B Protects against Acute Ethanol-Induced Cardiac Injury by Downregulating Autophagy via the NOX4/ROS Pathway
Conclusion: These results highlight that NOX4 is a critical mediator of ROS and elaborate the role of the NOX4/ROS axis in the effect of schisandrin B on autophagy and autophagy-mediated apoptosis in acute ethanol exposure, which suggests a therapeutic strategy for acute alcoholic cardiomyopathy.Pharmacology

Nicotine-induced adrenal beta-arrestin1 upregulation mediates tobacco-related hyperaldosteronism leading to cardiac dysfunction.
CONCLUSION: Adrenal βarrestin1 upregulation is one of the mechanisms by which tobacco compounds, like nicotine, promote cardio-toxic hyperaldosteronism in vitro and in vivo. Thus, adrenal βarrestin1 represents a novel therapeutic target for tobacco-related heart disease prevention or mitigation. PMID: 32547713 [PubMed]

Elevated Aldolase 1A, retrogene 1 expression induces cardiac apoptosis in rat experimental autoimmune myocarditis model.
Abstract Acute myocarditis is an unpredictable heart disease, which is caused by inflammation-associated cell death. Although viral infection and drug exposure are known to induce acute myocarditis, the molecular basis for its development remains undefined. Using proteomics and molecular analyses in myosin-induced rat experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM), we identified that elevated expression of aldolase 1A, retrogene 1 (Aldoart1) is critical to induce mitochondrial dysfunction and acute myocarditis development. Here, we demonstrate that cardiac cell death is associated with increased expressions of pro-apop...

Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide ameliorates radiation-induced cardiac injury.
Authors: Li H, Cao L, Yi PQ, Xu C, Su J, Chen PZ, Li M, Chen JY Abstract Radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) is a common sequelae of thoracic irradiation. Currently, there is no effective prevention and treatment strategy. Oxidative stress is associated with the development of RIHD. Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide 38 (PACAP38) has been defined as the multipotent properties of cytoprotective effect on its anti-apoptotic and antioxidant activities. Here, we set to investigate whether PACAP38 plays a role in attenuating RIHD. We established radiation-related cardiac injury models using 6MV X-ray ...

miR-370 inhibits the oxidative stress and apoptosis of cardiac myocytes induced by hydrogen peroxide by targeting FOXO1.
Authors: Qiu Z, Wang L, Mao H, Xu F, Sun B, Lian X, Wang J, Kong F, Wang L, Chen Y Abstract Myocardial infarction, one of the main factors that threatens human health, leads to cardiac cell death. Myocardial cells suffer ischemia and hypoxia for a long period of time, which can lead to irreversible cell death or apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction. MicroRNAs (miRs) have been reported to play an important role in a wide range of biological processes in cardiac myocytes, which respond to inflammation and oxidative stress. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of miR-370 on oxidative stress and apop...

Adenine decreases hypertrophic effects through interleukin-18 receptor.
In this study, IL-18 induced cardiomyoblast hypertrophy through IL-18R upregulation, which was found to be related to p38 MAPK and PI3 kinase signaling. Adenine, but not AuNPs, showed antihypertrophic effects possibly because of decreased levels of signaling. PMID: 31535629 [PubMed - in process]

Tangshen Formula Alleviates Hepatic Steatosis by Inducing Autophagy Through the AMPK/SIRT1 Pathway
Conclusion In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that autophagy was involved in relieving the effects of TSF against NAFLD, which were mediated by the AMPK/SIRT1 pathway (Figure 7D). These findings may improve our current understanding of the role of TSF in treating hepatic steatosis and provide an experimental basis for the clinical application of TSF in NAFLD and its related metabolic syndrome. Ethics Statement This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of the National Institutes of Health. The protocol was approved by the Ethics Co...
