Опубликована: Янв. 13, 2022

Myocardial infarction (MI) is strongly associated with the temporal regulation of cardiac immunity. However, a variety current clinical trials have failed because lack post-MI immunomodulating/anti-inflammatory targets. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis Cd45+ immune cell at 0, 3, 7, and 14 d after injury in mouse left anterior descending coronary artery ligation model performed. Major populations, distinct subsets, dynamic changes are identified. Macrophages (Mø) most abundant, peaking 3 infarction. Mø-5 Mø-6 predominant infiltrated subsets this time point, strong expression inflammatory factors. Further demonstrates that suppressing these sets attenuated pathological MI progression by preventing subsequent leukocyte extravasation adverse remodeling. Abundant apoptotic neutrophils profibrotic macrophage subset on days 7 14, respectively, also detected. These results provide basis for developing type- time-specific interventions MI.

The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is closely related to endothelial cell injury caused by lipid peroxidation-induced ferroptosis. Tanshinone IIA (TSA) protects tissues from damage. In this study, we investigated whether TSA exerts its protective effect on cells inhibiting Ferroptosis was induced in human coronary artery (HCAECs), and were treated with TSA. Morphological examination indicated that exerted a significant the HCAECs. This further confirmed LDH release death detection assays. Flow cytometry revealed significantly reduced excessive accumulation total cellular ROS ferroptosis inducers. also restored reduction glutathione (GSH), potent abundant reductant cells. addition, found promoted expression NRF2, an essential player response oxidative stress, downstream genes. Immunofluorescent staining nuclear translocation NRF2. Increased NRF2 validated Western blot evaluation cytoplasmic protein extracts. Furthermore, inhibition abolished effects These data demonstrate represses via activation

Tanshinone IIA inhibits cardiomyocyte pyroptosis through TLR4/NF-κB p65 pathway after acute myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11

Опубликована: Сен. 12, 2023

Background: Tanshinone IIA, derived from Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge), constitutes a significant component of this traditional Chinese medicine. Numerous studies have reported positive outcomes regarding its influence on cardiac function. However, comprehensive comprehension the intricate mechanisms responsible for cardioprotective effects is still lacking. Methods: A rat model heart failure (HF) induced by acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was established via ligation left anterior descending coronary artery. Rats received oral administration tanshinone IIA (1.5 mg/kg) and captopril (10 8 weeks. Cardiac function assessed through various evaluations. Histological changes in tissue were observed using staining techniques, including Hematoxylin Eosin (HE), Masson, transmission electron microscopy. Tunel used to detect cell apoptosis. Serum levels NT-pro-BNP, IL-1β, IL-18 quantified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Expression TLR4, NF-κB p65, pyroptosis-related proteins determined western blotting (WB). H9C2 cardiomyocytes underwent hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) simulate ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, viability apoptosis post treatment with different concentrations (0.05 μg/ml, 0.1 μg/ml). ELISA measured IL-18, LDH expression supernatant, while WB analysis evaluated protein levels. p65 nuclear translocation laser confocal Results: exhibited enhanced function, mitigated histological damage, lowered serum suppressed Moreover, downregulated pro-IL-1β, NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD-N tissue. Additionally, it bolstered H/R cardiomyocyte viability, curbed apoptosis, reduced cells. Furthermore, hindered translocation. Conclusion: These findings indicate that enhances alleviates injury HF rats following AMI. demonstrates potential suppression pyroptosis. likely arise inhibition TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, presenting promising therapeutic target.

Euphorbia ebracteolata Hayata (Euphorbiaceae family) is a perennial plant that widely distributed in Korea, Japan, and China. Its roots contain bioactive diterpenes have anti-inflammatory properties. However, the mechanisms are not yet fully understood. This study aimed to identify most active compound from of E. Hayata, using bioassay-guided fractionation combinative method high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) preparative high-performance liquid (HPLC). Then, we investigated its mechanism lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Ebractenoid F was identified as potent Hayata. significantly decreased nitric oxide (NO) production nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation induced by LPS Moreover, ebractenoid degradation inhibitory κB-α, translocation p65 p50 subunits NF-κB, expression NF-κB downstream genes. Furthermore, inhibited phosphorylation Akt mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), such extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) c-Jun NH2 terminal (JNK), LPS-stimulated cells. In conclusion, exerts effect suppressing NF-κB-mediated NO may be useful therapeutic for prevention or treatment inflammation-associated diseases.

The ever-growing perception of cancer stem cells (CSCs) as a plastic state rather than hardwired defined entity has evolved our understanding the functional and biological plasticity these elusive components in malignancies. Pancreatic (PC), based on its features clinical evolution, is prototypical example CSC-driven disease. Since discovery pancreatic CSCs (PCSCs) 2007, evidence unraveled their control over many facets natural history PC, including primary tumor growth, metastatic progression, disease recurrence, acquired drug resistance. Consequently, current near-ubiquitous treatment regimens for PC using aggressive cytotoxic agents, aimed at ''tumor debulking'' eradication CSCs, have proven ineffective providing clinically convincing improvements patients with this dreadful Herein, we review key hallmarks well intrinsic extrinsic resistance mechanisms that mediate failure enlist potential CSC-targeting 'natural agents' are gaining popularity recent years. A better molecular landscape PCSC-intrinsic evasion chemotherapeutic drugs offers facile opportunity treating an intractable grim prognosis dire need effective therapeutic advances.

Abstract Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common complication in patients with diabetes, and ultimately leads to heart failure. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) induced by abnormal glycolipid metabolism critical factor that affects the occurrence development of DCM. Additionally, upregulation/activation silent information regulation 2 homolog‐1 (SIRT1) has been shown protect against Tanshinone II A (Tan IIA), main active component Salviae miltiorrhizae radix et rhizome (a valuable Chinese medicine), protective effects cardiovascular disease diabetes. However, its role mechanisms diabetes‐induced cardiac dysfunction remain unclear. Therefore, we explored whether Tan IIA alleviates ERS‐mediated DCM via SIRT1 elucidated underlying mechanism. The results suggested alleviated pathological changes hearts diabetic mice, ameliorated cytopathological morphology cardiomyocytes, reduced cell death rate, inhibited expression ERS‐related proteins mRNA. agonist activities glucose‐regulated protein 78 (GRP78). Furthermore, opposite under inhibitor. knockdown was siRNA‐SIRT1 transfection, degree GRP78 acetylation increased. Cumulatively, inhibiting ERS upregulating expression.
