Iron, an essential mineral in the body, is involved numerous physiological processes, making maintenance of iron homeostasis crucial for overall health. Both overload and deficiency can cause various disorders human diseases. Ferroptosis, a form cell death dependent on iron, characterized by extensive peroxidation lipids. Unlike other kinds classical unprogrammed death, ferroptosis primarily linked to disruptions metabolism, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant system imbalance. Ferroptosis regulated through transcription, translation, post-translational modifications, which affect cellular sensitivity ferroptosis. Over past decade or so, diseases have been as part their etiology, including cancers, metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases, central nervous cardiovascular musculoskeletal Ferroptosis-related proteins become attractive targets many major that are currently incurable, some regulators shown therapeutic effects clinical trials although further validation potential needed. Therefore, in-depth analysis its molecular mechanisms may offer additional strategies prevention treatment. In this review, we discuss significance contribution etiology development along with evidence supporting targeting approach. Importantly, evaluate recent promising interventions, providing guidance future targeted treatment therapies against

Опубликована: Янв. 22, 2024

Abstract Background In heart failure (HF), mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic remodeling lead to a reduction in energy productivity aggravate cardiomyocyte injury. Supplementation with α-ketoglutarate (AKG) alleviated myocardial hypertrophy fibrosis mice HF improved cardiac insufficiency. However, the protective mechanism of AKG remains unclear. We verified hypothesis that improves function by upregulating NAD + levels activating silent information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) cardiomyocytes. Methods vivo, 2% was added drinking water undergoing transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery. Echocardiography biopsy were performed evaluate pathological changes. Myocardial metabolomics analyzed liquid chromatography‒mass spectrometry (LC‒MS/MS) at 8 weeks after vitro, expression SIRT1 or PINK1 proteins inhibited selective inhibitors siRNA cardiomyocytes stimulated angiotensin II (AngII) AKG. detected using an test kit. Mitophagy ferroptosis evaluated Western blotting, qPCR, JC-1 staining lipid peroxidation analysis. Results supplementation TAC surgery could alleviate improve mice. Metabolites malate-aspartate shuttle (MAS) increased, but TCA cycle fatty acid metabolism pathway be myocardium supplementation. Decreased protein observed AngII-treated After treatment, these changes reversed, increased mitophagy, ferroptosis, damage observed. When inhibitor siRNA, effect suppressed. Conclusion can hypertrophy, chronic insufficiency caused pressure overload. By increasing level , SIRT-PINK1 SIRT1-GPX4 signaling pathways are activated promote mitophagy inhibit cardiomyocytes, which ultimately alleviates damage.

Mechanisms of enhanced renal and hepatic erythropoietin synthesis by sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors

European Heart Journal, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 44(48), С. 5027 - 5035

Опубликована: Апрель 22, 2023

Abstract Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk of major heart failure events, an action that is statistically linked to enhanced erythropoiesis, suggesting stimulation erythropoietin and cardioprotection are related a shared mechanism. Four hypotheses have been proposed explain how these drugs increase production: (i) renal cortical reoxygenation with rejuvenation erythropoietin-producing cells; (ii) counterregulatory distal sodium reabsorption leading increased tubular workload oxygen consumption, thus, localized hypoxia; (iii) iron mobilization as stimulus hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α)-mediated synthesis; (iv) direct HIF-2α activation gene transcription due sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) signaling. The first two assume source interstitial fibroblast-like cells in deep cortex. However, SGLT2 do not alter regional tissue tension non-diabetic kidney, synthesis markedly impaired patients anemia chronic kidney disease, yet, produce unattenuated erythrocytic response patients. This observation raises possibility liver contributes production during inhibition. Hypoxia-inducible coexpressed only but also hepatocytes; site when maintained for prolonged periods. ability improve by derepressing hepcidin ferritin would be expected cytosolic ferrous iron, which might stimulate expression both through regulatory protein 1. Alternatively, established enhance SIRT1 mechanism drugs. In hepatic cell lines, can directly activate deacetylation, additionally, effect SIRT liver, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α binds nuclear factor 4 promote erythropoietin. Since up-regulation exerts cytoprotective effects on stimulates erythropoietin, it well-positioned represent links erythropoiesis

Circulation, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 150(2), С. 151 - 161

Опубликована: Май 11, 2024

A serum ferritin level <15 to 20 μg/L historically identified patients who had absent bone marrow iron stores, but levels are distorted by the systemic inflammatory states seen in with chronic kidney disease or heart failure. As a result, nearly 25 years ago, diagnostic threshold was increased 5- 20-fold (ie, deficiency if <100 μg/L, regardless of transferrin saturation [TSAT], 100 299 TSAT <20%). This guidance motivated not findings studies total body tissue depletion, desire encourage use supplements potentiate response erythropoiesis-stimulating agents renal anemia. However, failure, this definition does reliably identify an absolute functional iron-deficiency state, and it includes individuals TSATs (≥20%) normal range (20-100 mg/L) deficient, have excellent prognosis, do respond favorably therapy. Furthermore, may be both neprilysin sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, which act mobilize endogenous stores. The most evidence-based trial-tested is presence hypoferremia, as reflected <20%. These hypoferremic generally deficient on examination, after intravenous therapy, they exhibit improvement exercise tolerance capacity (when meaningfully impaired) show marked reduction 20%-30%) risk cardiovascular death failure hospitalizations. Therefore, we propose that current ferritin-driven should abandoned based hypoferremia (TSAT <20%) adopted.

Anemia Management in the Cardiorenal Patient: A Nephrological Perspective

Journal of the American Heart Association, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(5)

Опубликована: Март 3, 2025

Heart failure (HF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently coexist, sharing significant overlap in prevalence pathophysiological mechanisms. This coexistence, termed cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), often leads to anemia, which exacerbates both HF CKD, thereby increasing morbidity death. Managing anemia CRS is complex due conflicting guidelines the multifactorial nature of condition. Anemia influenced by factors such as inadequate erythropoietin production, iron deficiency, reduced red blood cell life span, inflammation, inhibit absorption mobilization. interplay mechanisms worsens further aggravating CKD. significantly impacts prognosis recent trials have shown that hemoglobin increases, particularly with sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, can improve outcomes patients Iron deficiency also prevalent CKD associated poorer exercise capacity a higher mortality rate. Guidelines for diagnosing treating differ between Furthermore, treatment controversial: While inhibitors intravenous has consistent benefits CRS, normalization erythropoiesis‐stimulating agents improves symptoms quality but not consistently demonstrated cardiovascular benefits. There are no definitive management CRS. Treatment should address HF, concurrently. A proposed algorithm includes correcting initiating considering if remains <10 g/dL.
