Macrophage polarization determines the transition from the inflammation phase to the inflammation resolution phase after myocardial infarction (MI). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether resveratrol (RSV) could inhibit the inflammatory …

Decreased autophagy has been reported to contribute to the progression of cardiac hypertrophy. Our previous research has demonstrated that endophilin A2 (EndoA2) attenuates H2O2-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis by strengthening autophagy. However, the role …

Previous studies have established that proteinase- activated receptor 2 (Par2) activation protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (Mi/ri). However, the role of Par2 deficiency in Mi/ri remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to …

Background Few reports have addressed the mechanism by which microRNA miR-10b-5p regulates post-myocardial infarction (post-MI) cardiomyocyte apoptosis under hypoxic conditions. Methods and Results C57BL/6 mice underwent surgical ligation of the left …

Sepsis‐induced cardiac dysfunction represents a main cause of death in intensive care units. Previous studies have indicated that GSK‐3β is involved in the modulation of sepsis. However, the signalling details of GSK‐3β regulation in endotoxin lipopoly‐ …

We have successfully fabricated versatile folate-targeted and oxygen/indocyanine green-loaded lipid nanoparticles (FA-OINPs) for dual-mode imaging-guided therapy in ovarian cancer cells and subcutaneous xenograft models. FA-OINPs were demonstrated to have …

Gold nanoprisms (GNPs) have been broadly studied for the potential applications in both imaging and treatment on tumors due to their special characteristics. Herein we reported that a new nanoplatform GNPs@PSS/PDADMAC-siRNA (GNPs-siRNA) was designed and …

8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) is one of the most prevalent genotoxic lesions, and it is generated in DNA attacked by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Adenine misincorporated opposite to 8-oxoG during replication is excised by MutY homolog (MUTYH), an important …

Clinical therapy of doxorubicin (DOX) is limited due to its cardiotoxicity. miR-146a was proved as a protective factor in many cardiovascular diseases, but its role in chronic DOX-induced cardiotoxicity is unclear. The objective of this study was to …

Perturbations in biomechanical stimuli during cardiac development contribute to congenital cardiac defects such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). This study sought to identify stretch-responsive pathways involved in cardiac development. miRNA-Seq …
