IL-10 provides cardioprotection in diabetic myocardial infarction via upregulation of Heme clearance pathways
Diabetes is a risk factor for myocardial infarction, and outcomes after myocardial infarction are worse among diabetics compared with nondiabetics. Diabetes is associated with impaired Heme clearance. Here, we determined whether heme toxicity and impaired …

Therapeutic effects of interleukin-37 and induced cardiosphere on treating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury
Backgrounds: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI-RI) has many adverse complications with high mortality rate. In the current study, we investigated the therapeutic advantages of delivering Interleukin-37 (IL-37) by induced cardiospheres (iCS), …

Overexpression of Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 2 (USP2) in the Heart Suppressed Pressure Overload-Induced Cardiac Remodeling
Ubiquitin-specific protease 2 (USP2) is an important member of the deubiquitination system. GEO dataset revealed that USP2 was downregulated in the hearts under pressure overload. However, the cardiomyocyte-specific function of USP2 in the setting of …

Iminostilbene, a novel small-molecule modulator of PKM2, suppresses macrophage inflammation in myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury
Introduction: Inflammation is a key factor in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury. Targeting leucocyte-mediated inflammation is an important strategy for MI/R therapy. Iminostilbene (ISB), a simple dibenzoazepine small molecule compound, has a …

MiR-17-5p-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress promotes acute myocardial ischemia injury through targeting Tsg101
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally, among which acute myocardial infarction (AMI) frequently occurs in the heart and proceeds from myocardium ischemia and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced cell death. Numerous studies …

Oxidative stress and inflammatory modulation of Ca2+ handling in metabolic HFPEF-related left atrial cardiomyopathy
Metabolic syndrome-mediated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is commonly accompanied by left atrial (LA) cardiomyopathy, significantly affecting morbidity and mortality. We evaluate the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and …

High frequency ultrasound nonlinear scattering from porphyrin nanobubbles
Emerging contrast imaging studies have highlighted the potential of nanobubbles for both intravascular and extravascular applications. Reports to date on nanobubbles have generally utilized low frequencies ( 109 mL−1), and B-mode or contrast-mode on …

Deficiency in gp91Phox (NOX2) Protects against Oxidative Stress and Cardiac Dysfunction in Iron Overloaded Mice
The role of NADPH oxidase subunit, gp91phox (NOX2) in development of oxidative stress and cardiac dysfunction due to iron (Fe)-overload was assessed. Control (C57BL/6J) and gp91phox knockout (KO) mice were treated for up to 8 weeks with Fe (2.5 mg/g/wk, …

Tumor Microenvironment Cascade-Responsive Nanodrug with Self-Targeting Activation and ROS Regeneration for Synergistic Oxidation-Chemotherapy
Carrier-free nanodrug with exceptionally high drug payload has attracted increasing attentions. Herein, we construct a pH/ROS cascade-responsive nanodrug which could achieve tumor acidity-triggered targeting activation followed by circularly amplified …

Irisin attenuates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion‐induced cardiac dysfunction by regulating ER‐mitochondria interaction through a mitochondrial ubiquitin ligase‐dependent mechanism
Background: Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury imposes devas- tating cardiovascular sequelae in particular cardiac dysfunction as a result of restored blood flow. However, the mechanism behind MI/R injury remains elusive. Mitochondrial …
