Abstract Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) has been improved with drugs and effective reperfusion, but it still cannot be prevented. We compared the effects of renal denervation (RDN) and angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs) on cardiomyocyte apoptosis after I/R to explore whether RDN can reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis by improving endoplasmic reticulum stress.Methods: Sixty male specific pathogen free (SPF) Wister rats were randomly divided into six groups.(n=6):(a) normal; (b) sham; (c) I/R; (d) RDN; (e) I/R+RDN and (f) I/R+ARNI. We established the I/R rat model by ligating the left anterior descending artery. Rats were exposed tThe renal artery was exposed and then smeared phenol on the vessel for chemical ablation. The I/R+ARNI group received ARNIs for 2 weeks until killed. We also collected the cardiac tissues and blood serum to determine I/R-related indicators and analyze the potential mechanisms involved.Results: The levels of Norepinephrine (NE), Ang II, and aldosterone (ALD)increased significantly in the I/R group but decreased significantly after RDN and ARNI intervention. The expression of Bax, caspase-3, CHOP, PERK, and ATF4 protein was significantly increased in the I/R group, which compared to other groups, and the level of CHOP, PERK, and ATF4 gene expression increased. After RDN intervention, these expression levels recovered to varying degrees. Conclusion: Our results provide new evidence that RDN ameliorates cardiomyocyte apoptosis in I/R. The effect of RDN may be associated with regulating the endoplasmic reticulum stress PERK/ATF4 signaling pathway.

Objective: This study explores the effects of helix B surface peptide (HBSP) on myocardial infarct size (IS), cardiac function, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and oxidative stress damage in mouse hearts subjected to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) and also the mechanisms underlying the effects. Method: Male adult mice were subjected to 45 min of ischemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion; 5 min before the reperfusion, they were treated with HBSP or vehicle. MIRI-induced IS, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and cardiac functional impairment were determined and compared. Western blot analysis was then conducted to elucidate the mechanism of HBSP after treatment. Results: HBSP administration before reperfusion significantly reduced the myocardial IS, decreased cardiomyocyte apoptosis, reduced the activities of superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde and partially preserved heart function. As demonstrated by the Western blot analysis, HBSP after treatment upregulated Akt/GSK-3β/ERK and STAT-3 phosphorylation; these inhibitors, in turn, weakened the beneficial effects of HBSP. Conclusion: HBSP plays a protective role in MIRI in mice by inhibiting cardiomyocyte apoptosis, reducing the MIRI-induced IS, oxidative stress and improving the heart function after MIRI. The mechanism underlying these effects of HBSP is related to the activation of the RISK (reperfusion injury salvage kinase, Akt/GSK-3β/ERK) and SAFE (STAT-3) pathways.

AbstractHistone deacetylases (HDACs) and microRNAs (miRs) have been reported to exert pivotal roles on the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). Therefore, the present study was performed to define the underlying role of HDAC4 and miR-206 in the pathological process of MIRI. An IRI rat model was established. The interaction between HDAC4 and the promoter region of miR-206 was determined using ChIP, and that between miR-206 and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1 (MEKK1) was determined using dual luciferase reporter gene assay. After the loss- or gain-of-function assay in cardiomyocytes, western blot analysis, RT-qPCR, TUNEL, and ELISA assay were performed to define the roles of HDAC4, miR-206, and MEKK1. Up-regulation of HDAC4 and down-regulation of miR-206 occurred in rat myocardial tissues and cardiomyocytes in MIRI. HDAC4 down-regulation or miR-206 up-regulation contributed to reduced cell apoptosis and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and malondialdehyde (MDA), while elevating the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) contents. Meanwhile, HDAC4 silencing promoted the expression of miR-206, which targeted and negatively regulated MEKK1. Then inhibition of JNK phosphorylation reduced the cardiomyocyte apoptosis to alleviate MIRI. Coherently, HDAC4 silencing could up-regulate the expression of miR-206 to reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inhibit oxidative stress, and exerting a protective effect on MIRI via the MEKK1/JNK pathway.

Objective. This project is aimed at investigating whether CircANXA2 can promote the apoptosis of myocardial cells by inhibiting miR-133 expression and thereby participate in the development of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Materials and Method. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression level of CircANXA2 in H9c2 cells after hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) treatment. Evaluation of myocardial injury markers in H9c2 cells was performed using commercial kits, including lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malonaldehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidation (GSH-PX). MTT analysis and flow cytometry were used to detect myocardial cell proliferation and apoptosis, respectively. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of apoptosis-related genes. Result. qRT-PCR results showed that compared with the control, the expression of CircANXA2 was upregulated and the expression level of miR-133 was significantly decreased in H/R-treated H9c2 cells. CircANXA2 overexpression increased LDH, MDA, SOD, and GSH-PX activity in H/R-treated H9c2 cells. At the same time, CircANXA2 overexpression inhibited the proliferation of H/R-treated cells, and CircANXA2 was able to induce cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Western blot results showed that after overexpression of CircANXA2, the proapoptotic genes Bax and cytochrome C was upregulated, while the antiapoptotic gene Bcl-2 was downregulated. In H9c2 cells, upregulating miR-133 can reverse the inhibition of proliferation induced by CircANXA2 overexpression and increase apoptosis. Conclusions. CircANXA2 promotes cardiomyocyte apoptosis in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting the expression of miR-133. CircANXA2 may be a potential target for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
