Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is associated with ischemic heart disease (IHD) which leads to patients a poor progression. According to Pubmed Datasets, we analyzed different gene and mRNA expressions in IHD patients with IRI. The relevant mRNA expression detected in H9C2 cells undergo hypoxia and reoxygenation, we selected and structured miR-525-5p gene mutation H9C2 cells, the results performed miR-525-5p mutated restored H9C2 metabolism of mitochondria which detected by relevant genes and proteins. At the same time, miR-525-5p silence resisted hypoxia and reoxygenation induced H9C2 cells apoptosis. All the results indicated miR-525-5p maybe protect H9C2 cells without hypoxia and reoxygenation induced injury through regulating the mitochondria metabolism.

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is among the leading causes of death in developed countries. Its pathological origin is traced back to coronary atherosclerosis, a lipid-driven immuno-inflammatory disease of the arteries that leads to multifocal plaque development. The primary clinical manifestation of IHD is acute myocardial infarction (AMI),) whose prognosis is ameliorated with optimal timing of revascularization. Paradoxically, myocardium re-perfusion can be detrimental because of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), an oxidative-driven process that damages other organs. Amyloid-β (Aβ) plays a physiological role in the central nervous system (CNS). Alterations in its synthesis, concentration and clearance have been connected to several pathologies, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Aβ has been suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of IHD and cerebral IRI. The purpose of this review is to summarize what is known about the pathological role of Aβ in the CNS; starting from this evidence, we will illustrate the role played by Aβ in the development of coronary atherosclerosis and its possible implications in the pathophysiology of IHD and myocardial IRI. Better elucidation of Aβ’s contribution to the molecular pathways underlying IHD and IRI could be of great help in developing new therapeutic strategies.

Ischemic heart disease(IHD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite the development of continuously improving therapeutic strategies, morbidity and mortality of patients with IHD remain relatively high. Exosomes are a subpopulation of vesicles that are universally recognized as major mediators in intercellular communication. Numerous preclinical studies have shown that these tiny vesicles were protective in IHD, through such actions as alleviating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, promoting angiogenesis, inhibiting fibrosis, and facilitating cardiac regeneration. Our review focused on these beneficial exosome-mediated processes. In addition, we discuss in detail how to fully exploit the therapeutic potentials of exosomes in the field of IHD. Topics include identifying robust sources of exosomes, loading protective agents into exosomes, developing heart-specific exosomes, optimizing isolation methods, and translating the cardioprotective effects of exosomes into clinical practice. Finally, both the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing exosomes in clinical settings are addressed.

Introduction Probenecid, previously used for the treatment of gout, is a transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) agonist. We have found TRPV2 in murine cardiomyocytes and when stimulated by probenecid, results in a positive inotropic response through Ca 2+ influx independent of β-adrenergic signaling. Our hypothesis is that probenecid will increase contractility without affecting cell survival. Methods We studied the role of probenecid as a positive inotrope in a mouse model of ischemic heart disease. We administered probenecid via intraperitoneal injections (100mg/kg) before and after ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) and orally via treated water (100mg/kg daily for 4 weeks), using saline injections and untreated water as respective controls. Ischemia was induced by a 45 minute ligation of the LAD followed by reperfusion and all mice were followed serially via echocardiography. We also evaluated the effects of probenecid on HL-1 cell apoptosis by conducting cell viability assays. Results Treatment with probenecid before I/R had no effect on subsequent infarct size (51.6±3.71% vs. 53.4±1.54%;P=NS). However, post-I/R probenecid caused an increase in ejection fraction (EF) of 10.9±1.98% in mice with initial EF between 40-50% (n=6; P<0.01) and 7.28±1.63% in mice with higher initial EF (50-60%) (n=6; p<0.01). Echocardiographic analysis of mice with oral probenecid after I/R demonstrated higher EF and smaller diastolic volume (47.19±2.29%; 79.57mL±1.63; n=6) compared to untreated mice (43.67±2.91%; 89.05mL±5.67; n=6). Cell viability assays showed high concentrations of probenecid had minimal effect on cell viability (88.6±6.2% of control) whereas treatment with high concentrations of isoproterenol (10mM) greatly decreased cell viability (6.7±0.1% of control). Conclusions These experiments demonstrate 1) probenecid increases myocardial contractility at baseline and significantly more so after I/R injury; 2) probenecid therapy improves function when used chronically; 3) the increase in contractility is not associated with either increased infarct size in vivo or apoptosis in vitro. Thus, unlike other positive inotropes, such as isoproterenol, probenecid increases contractility without resulting in significant cell death.

Ischemic heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Primarily, ischemia causes decreased oxygen supply, resulting in damage of the cardiac tissue. Naturally, reoxygenation has been recognized as the treatment of choice to recover blood flow through primary percutaneous coronary intervention. This treatment is the gold standard therapy to restore blood flow, but paradoxically it can also induce tissue injury. A number of different studies in animal models of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) suggest that ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) accounts for up to 50% of the final myocardial infarct size. Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathological process. Iron is an essential mineral required for a variety of vital biological functions but also has potentially toxic effects. A detrimental process induced by free iron is ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic type of programmed cell death. Accordingly, efforts to prevent ferroptosis in pathological settings have focused on the use of radical trapping antioxidants (RTAs), such as liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1). Hence, it is necessary to develop novel strategies to prevent cardiac IRI, thus improving the clinical outcome in patients with ischemic heart disease. The present review analyses the role of ferroptosis inhibition to prevent heart IRI, with special reference to Lip-1 as a promising drug in this clinicopathological context.

IHD is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. In the acute phase, it's demonstrated as myocardial infarction and ischemia-reperfusion injury, while in the chronic stage, the ischemic heart is mainly characterised by adverse myocardial remodelling. Although interventions such as thrombolysis and percutaneous coronary intervention could reduce the death risk of these patients, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms need more exploration. Mitochondria are crucial to maintain the physiological function of the heart. During IHD, mitochondrial dysfunction results in the pathogenesis of ischemic heart disease. Ischemia drives mitochondrial damage not only due to energy deprivation, but also to other aspects such as mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondria-related inflammation, etc. Given the critical roles of mitochondrial quality control in the pathological process of ischemic heart disease, in this review, we will summarise the efforts in targeting mitochondria (such as mitophagy, mtROS, and mitochondria-related inflammation) on IHD. In addition, we will briefly revisit the emerging therapeutic targets in this field.

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the leading causes of death in Western countries. Prevention rather than treatment of heart disease can significantly improve patients' quality of life and reduce health care costs. Flavonoids are widely distributed in vegetables, fruits and herbal medicines. Regularly consuming botanicals, especially those containing flavonoids, has been associated with a reduction in cardiovascualar disease; thus, it is important to investigate how flavonoids improve cardiac resistance to heart disease and their related mechanisms of action. It has been shown that cardiomyocyte injury and death can result from ischemia-reperfusion, which is pathognomonic of ischemic heart disease. Massive reactive oxygen species (ROS) release at the onset of reperfusion produces cell injury and death. "Programming" the heart to either generate less ROS or to increase strategic ROS removal could reduce reperfusion response. Additionally, profuse nitric oxide (NO) release at reperfusion could be protective in "preconditioning" models. Botanical flavonoids induce preconditioning of the heart, thereby protecting against ischemia-reperfusion injury. In this article, we will discuss two herbs containing potent flavonoids, Scutellaria baicalensis and grape seed proanthocyanidin, which can potentially offer cardiac protection against ischemic heart disease.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of multiple cardiovascular disorders, including ischemic heart disease. Although mitochondria are well recognized for their role in energy production and cell death, mechanisms by which they control excitation-contraction coupling, excitability, and arrhythmias are less clear. The translocator protein (TSPO) is an outer mitochondrial membrane protein that is expressed in multiple organ systems. The abundant expression of TSPO in macrophages has been leveraged to image the immune response of the heart to inflammatory processes. More recently, the recognition of TSPO as a regulator of energy-dissipating mitochondrial pathways has extended its utility from a diagnostic marker of inflammation to a therapeutic target influencing diverse pathophysiological processes. Here, we provide an overview of the emerging role of TSPO in ischemic heart disease. We highlight the importance of TSPO in the regenerative process of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced ROS release through its effects on the inner membrane anion channel (IMAC) and the permeability transition pore (PTP). We discuss evidence implicating TSPO in arrhythmogenesis in the settings of acute ischemia-reperfusion injury and myocardial infarction.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Ischemic heart disease occurs when coronary blood flow to the heart is reduced, limiting the amount of oxygen and nutrients the heart receives. When blood flow is restored after a percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI), rapid reperfusion from sudden balloon deflation can cause further injury to oxygen-starved tissue, leading to increased cell injury and cell death. Studies in animal models with ischemic heart disease have shown that reperfusion injury may account for up to 50% of the final infarct size [1]. Post-conditioning (PC) may reduce the amount of reperfusion injury by applying intermittent periods of ischemia during the early moments of reperfusion. This procedure periodically occludes blood vessels during reperfusion by periodically inflating and deflating an angioplasty balloon according to a specific algorithm. Zhao et al. showed that PC reduced reperfusion injury in a canine model by applying 3 cycles of 30 seconds of reperfusion followed by 30 seconds of ischemia (re-occlusion) at the onset of reperfusion. PC in this study reduced tissue AN/AAR (area of necrosis/area at risk) by 48% [2]. In 2008, Gao et al. demonstrated that the effectiveness of PC in rats was dependent on the number of cycles in the PC algorithm, as well as the durations of the ischemia/reperfusion phases [3].

Abstract Background Reduced levels of myocardial STAT3 activity in diabetic hearts may contribute to the increased susceptibility to ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/RI). The protein mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) can regulate metabolism and cell processes and plays major roles in the dynamics of I/RI. However, the role of mTOR in regulation of myocardial STAT3 and thereby affect myocardial I/RI in diabetes at relatively late stages of the disease is unknown. Methods Diabetes was induced by Streptozotocin in Sprague-Dawley rats. Myocardial I/RI was achieved with coronary occlusion for 30 minutes and reperfusion for 2 hours in absence or presence of the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin. In vitro cardiomyocyte hypoxia/re-oxygenation (H/R) was established within H9C2 cells. Results In diabetic rats, the levels of troponin-I (Tn-I), lipid peroxidation products 15-F2t-Isoprostane (15-F2t-Iso) and MDA, and the expression of protein mTOR were all significantly increased,and SOD releasing, the expression of protein phosphorylation of STAT3(p-STAT3-Ser727) were both significantly decreased compared to non-diabetic rats. Myocardial I/RI significantly increased the infract size (IS) and further increased the mTOR activation and decreased p-STAT3-Ser727 compared to diabetic rats. The selective mTOR inhibitor rapamycin reversed these changes and conferred cardioprotective effect. In H9C2 cells, high glucose (HG) significantly increased lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release, apoptosis cells, ROS release, activation of mTOR, and decreased p-STAT3-Ser727. H/R further increased cellular injury, mTOR knock-down significantly reduced H/R injury. Conclusion Myocardial mTOR was enhanced in diabetes and contributed to I/RI. mTOR inhibition attenuated myocardial I/RI through increasing p-STAT3-Ser727.
