Background/Aims: Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) are crucial for heart development and for adult heart structural maintenance and function. Herein, we performed a study to explore the effect of lncRNA LINC00652 (LINC00652) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by targeting GLP-1R through the cyclic adenosine monophosphate-protein kinase A (cAMP/PKA) pathway. Methods: Bioinformatics software was used to screen the long-chain non-coding RNAs associated with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and to predict target genes. The mRNA and protein levels of LINC00652, GLP-1R and CREB were detected by RT-qPCR and western blotting. In order to identify the interaction between LINC00652 and myocardial I/R injury, the cardiac function, the hemodynamic changes, the pathological changes of the myocardial tissues, the myocardial infarct size, and the apoptosis of myocardial cells of mice were measured. Meanwhile, the levels of serum IL-1β and TNF-α were detected. Results: LINC00652 was overexpressed in the myocardial cells of mice with myocardial I/R injury. GLP-1R is the target gene of LINC00652. We also determined higher levels of LINC00652 and GLP-1R in the I/R modeled mice. Additionally, si-LINC00652 decreased cardiac pathology, infarct size, apoptosis rates of myocardial cells, and levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, and increased GLP-1R expression cardiac function, normal hemodynamic index, and the expression and phosphorylation of GLP-1R and CREB proteins. Conclusion: Taken together, our key findings of the present highlight LINC00652 inhibits the activation of the cAMP/PKA pathway by targeting GLP-1R to reduce the protective effect of sevoflurane on myocardial I/R injury in mice.

Objectives: Paraoxonases (PON) gene family consists of three proteins PON1, PON2, and PON3. PON2 is an intracellular membrane-associated protein that is widely expressed in vascular cells and many tissues. At the subcellular level, PON2 is localized to both the ER and mitochondria, and protects against oxidative stress. Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of PON2 in myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury. Methods: PON2 deficient (PON2-/-) and WT male mice were subjected to in-vivo ischemia/reperfusion injury. The left anterior descending coronary artery was occluded for 30 min followed by 24 hr of reperfusion. The infarct size, mitochondrial calcium retention capacity (CRC) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation were measured. The expression of C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), GSK3b and phosphate GSK3b protein were examined by Western Blot. The number of animals was 5-7/group and data were expressed as mean±SEM. T test were used for statistical analysis. Probability values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The infarct size was ~2 fold larger in PON2 deficient mice compared to WT mice (p<0.05). The threshold for opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) in response to calcium overload was much lower in PON2-/- mice compared with WT mice (173±19 in PON2-/-, 250±41 in WT, nmol/mg-mitochondrial protein, p<0.05). The ROS production was ~2 fold higher in isolated cardiac mitochondria from PON2-/- mice compared with WT mice (p<0.05). ER stress protein CHOP increased significantly in PON2-/- mice compared to WT mice (normalized to WT: 1±0.05 in WT, 1.66±0.08 in PON2-/-, p<0.001). Phospho-GSK3b level was significantly downregulated in in PON2-/- mice compared to WT mice (pGSK3b/GSK3b normalized to WT: 1±0.06 in WT 0.67±0.08 in PON2-/-, p<0.05). Conclusions: PON2 regulates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury via inhibiting the opening of mPTP, which is associated with reduced mitochondria ROS production, deactivation of ER stress signaling CHOP and GSK3b.

Chronic stress in humans has been correlated with increased risk for ischemic heart disease. Thus experiments were conducted to determine if repeated intermittent restraint stress increased infarct size in a rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to no stress (control) or to daily restraint stress for 1–1.5 h for 8–14 days (stress protocol A) or for 2 h daily for 11 or 12 days (stress protocol B). Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (30-min ischemia, 3-h reperfusion) was performed in anesthetized rats. Average baseline arterial pressures were 111 ± 4, 120 ± 10, and 125 ± 7 mmHg in the control, stress protocol A, and stress protocol B groups, respectively. Infarct size (%area at risk) was significantly larger in both groups of stressed rats compared with control rats (58 ± 5, 78 ± 2, and 79 ± 3% in the control, stress protocol A, and stress protocol B groups, respectively). During ischemia or early reperfusion, zero of eight control, two of six protocol A stress, and two of five protocol B stress rats had at least one period of severe arrhythmia. Therefore, these results provide experimental evidence corroborating correlative studies in humans that link chronic stress with increased morbidity and mortality from ischemic heart disease.

The transcription factor nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) is a key master switch that controls the expression of antioxidant and cytoprotective enzymes, including enzymes catalyzing glutathione de novo synthesis. In this study, we aimed to analyze whether Nrf2 deficiency influences antioxidative capacity, redox state, NO metabolites, and outcome of myocardial ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury. In Nrf2 knockout (Nrf2 KO) mice, we found elevated eNOS expression and preserved NO metabolite concentrations in the aorta and heart as compared to wild types (WT). Unexpectedly, Nrf2 KO mice have a smaller infarct size following myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury than WT mice and show fully preserved left ventricular systolic function. Inhibition of NO synthesis at onset of ischemia and during early reperfusion increased myocardial damage and systolic dysfunction in Nrf2 KO mice, but not in WT mice. Consistent with this, infarct size and diastolic function were unaffected in eNOS knockout (eNOS KO) mice after ischemia/reperfusion. Taken together, these data suggest that eNOS upregulation under conditions of decreased antioxidant capacity might play an important role in cardioprotection against I/R. Due to the redundancy in cytoprotective mechanisms, this fundamental antioxidant property of eNOS is not evident upon acute NOS inhibition in WT mice or in eNOS KO mice until Nrf2-related signaling is abrogated.

Saponins from Rhizoma Panacis Majoris (SRPM), the bioactive component inRhizoma Panacis Majoris, were reported to possess protective effects on myocardial injury, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study was performed to investigate the protective effects and possible mechanism of SRPM on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in vivo. Cardioprotective effects of SPRM in I/R rats was evaluated by hemodynamic, infarct size, biochemical values, histopathological observations, antioxidative relative gene expressions; And the antioxidant activity of SPRM was studied using DPPH scavenging and β-carotene/linoleic acid tests. In the study, we found that SRPM possessed significant free radical-scavenging activity and considerable antioxidant activity, and significantly improved cardiac function, serum biochemical index and antioxidation level, decreased infarct size, reversed the down-regulated mRNA expressions of the SOD1, SOD2, SOD3 in I/R rats. The studies demonstrated that oxidative stress caused the overgeneration and accumulation of ROS, which was central of myocardial I/R injury. SPRM exerted beneficially cardioprotective effects on myocardial I/R injury, mainly scavenging oxidative stress-triggered overgeneration and accumulation of ROS, alleviating myocardial I/R injury and apoptotic cell death.
