GDF11 inhibits cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and exerts cardioprotection in acute myocardial infarction mice by upregulation of transcription factor HOXA3
NLRP3 (Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3) inflammasome-mediated cardiomyocytes pyroptosis plays a crucial part in progression of acute myocardial infarction (MI). GDF11 (Growth Differentiation Factor 11) has …

Nutritional modulation of heart failure in mitochondrial pyruvate carrier–deficient mice
The myocardium is metabolically flexible; however, impaired flexibility is associated with cardiac dysfunction in conditions including diabetes and heart failure. The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) complex, composed of MPC1 and MPC2, is required for …

Xanthohumol attenuates isoprenaline-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis through regulating PTEN/AKT/mTOR pathway
Emerging evidence suggests the cardiovascular protective effects of Xanthohumol (Xn), a prenylated flavonoid isolated from the hops (Humulus lupulus L.). However, the cardioprotective effect of Xn remains unclear. Present study aimed to investigate the …

Alamandine improves cardiac remodeling induced by transverse aortic constriction in mice
Objective: Alamandine is the newest identified peptide of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and has protective effects in the cardiovascular system. While it is well known the involvement of classical RAS components in the genesis and progression of …

Calenduloside E suppresses calcium overload by promoting the interaction between L-type calcium channels and Bcl2-associated athanogene 3 to alleviate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury
Introduction: Intracellular calcium overload is an important contributor to myocardial ischemia/reperfu- sion (MI/R) injury. Total saponins of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Aralia elata (Miq.) Seem. (AS) are beneficial for treating MI/R injury, …

Adenoviral Mediated Delivery of OSKM Factors Induces Partial Reprogramming of Mouse Cardiac Cells In Vivo
The induction ofin vivo reprogramming toward pluripotency has been demonstrated in several tissues utilizing either transgenic inducible mice or gene delivery approaches. However, the effects ofexogenous reprogramming factor expression in the mammalian …

Modulating the infarcted ventricle's refractoriness with an epicardial biomaterial
Patients diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are at increased risk of monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation. The presence of myocardial fibrosis provides both anatomical and functional …

The lncRNA H19 alleviates muscular dystrophy by stabilizing dystrophin
Dystrophin proteomic regulation in muscular dystrophies (MDs) remains unclear. We report that a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), H19, associates with dystrophin and inhibits E3-ligase-dependent polyubiquitination at Lys 3584 (referred to as Ub-DMD) and its …

Comparison of One and Three Intraventricular Injections of Cardiac Progenitor Cells in a Murine Model of Chronic Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Repeated doses of c-kit+ cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) are superior to a single dose in improving LV function in rats with old myocardial infarction (MI). However, this concept needs testing in different species to determine whether it is generalizable. …

Tongmai formula improves cardiac function via regulating mitochondrial quality control in the myocardium with ischemia/reperfusion injury
Background: Mitochondrial quality control, regulated by mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy, has been regarded as pivotal process to induce segregation of mitochondria during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, few works revealed the …
