Natural antioxidants represented by quercetin have been documented to be effective against atherosclerosis. However, the related mechanisms remain largely unclear. In this study, we identified a novel anti-atherosclerotic mechanism of inhibiting macrophage pyroptosis activating NRF2 through binding Arg483 site KEAP1 competitively. ApoE-/- mice fed with high fat diet, administration attenuated atherosclerosis progression reducing oxidative stress level and suppressing pyroptosis. At cellular level, suppressed THP-1 induced ox-LDL, demonstrated NLRP3 inflammasome activation ROS while these effects were reversed specific inhibitor (ML385). Mechanistically, promoted dissociate from KEAP1, enhanced nuclear translocation as well transcription downstream antioxidant protein. Molecular docking results suggested that could bind at Arg415 Arg483. order verify sites, mutated Ser (R415S R483S) was transfected into macrophages, anti-pyroptotic effect abrogated mutation, but not mutation. Furthermore, after adeno associated viral vector (AAV) AAV-KEAP1-R483S, almost abolished in mice. These findings proved quercetins targeting KEAP1/NRF2 interaction, provided reliable data on underlying natural protect

Cerebrovascular diseases, such as ischemic stroke, pose serious medical challenges worldwide due to their high morbidity and mortality limitations in clinical treatment strategies. Studies have shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated inflammation, excitotoxicity, programmed cell death of each neurovascular unit during post-stroke hypoxia reperfusion play an important role the pathological cascade. Ferroptosis, a characterized by iron-regulated accumulation lipid peroxidation, is caused abnormal metabolism lipids, glutathione (GSH), iron, can accelerate acute central nervous system injury. Recent studies gradually uncovered process ferroptosis stroke. Some drugs iron chelators, ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) protect nerves after injury stroke inhibiting ferroptosis. In addition, combined with our previous on mediated natural compounds this review summarized progress regulation mechanism chemical components herbal recent years, order provide reference information for future research lead development inhibitors.

Abstract Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity contributes to cardiovascular health by its energy-dissipating capacity but how BAT modulates vascular function and atherosclerosis through endocrine mechanisms remains poorly understood. Here we show that BAT-derived neuregulin-4 (Nrg4) ameliorates in mice. BAT-specific Nrg4 deficiency accelerates inflammation adhesion responses, endothelial dysfunction apoptosis male restoration alleviates attenuates leukocyte homing reduces injury In cells, decreases apoptosis, responses induced oxidized low-density lipoprotein. Mechanistically, protein kinase B (Akt)–nuclear factor-κB signaling is involved the beneficial effects of on endothelium. Taken together, results reveal as a potential cross-talk factor between arteries may serve target for atherosclerosis.
