Purpose: To investigate the cytoprotective effect of α-mangostin on myocardial tissues in ischemic rats, and the underlying mechanism.Methods: Histopathological changes in myocardial tissues were determined using inverted microscope. Protein expressions were measured by western blotting, while enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to assay the expression levels of caspase-3, caspase-9 and caspase-8.Results: Treatment with α-mangostin (20 mg/kg) suppressed production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxides in myocardial tissues of MI/R rats, and significantly alleviated MI/R injurymediated reduction in ATP levels in cardiac tissues (p < 0.05). α-Mangostin treatment of MI/R injury rats suppressed HIF-1α activation, and markedly elevated BNIP3 levels, relative to model group. Moreover, MI/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis was significantly alleviated by α-mangostin treatment (p < 0.05). Treatment with α-mangostin also suppressed I/R-induced increases in caspase-8 and caspase-3 activation in myocardial tissues, improved Nrf-2 activation, and promoted HO-1 and GST levels in MI/R injury rats (p < 0.05).Conclusion: These results suggest that α-mangostin protects rat cardiac tissues from MI/R-induced oxidative damage via reduction of HIF-1α expression, inhibition of ROS generation and suppression of apoptosis. Therefore, α-mangostin may be of therapeutic importance for the management of myocardial ischemia in humans. Keywords: α-Mangostin, Hypoxia, Inflammation, Nrf-2, Oxidative stress, Reperfusion

Background/Aims: Previous studies have demonstrated that Bauhinia championii flavone (BCF) exhibits anti-oxidative, anti-hypoxic and anti-stress properties. This study was designed to investigate whether BCF has a cardioprotective effect against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries in rats and to shed light on its possible mechanism. Methods: The model of I/R was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min, then reperfusing for 180 min. Hemodynamic changes were continuously monitored. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) as well as the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were assessed. The release of interleukin-6 (IL-6) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was determined by caspase-3 activity and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. The expression of TLR4, NF-κBp65, Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by western blotting. Results: Pretreatment with BCF significantly reduced the serum levels of LDH, MDA and IL-6, but increased the activities of SOD and GSH-Px. It also attenuated myocardial infarct size, reduced the apoptosis rate and preserved cardiac function. Furthermore, BCF inhibited caspase-3 activity and the expression of TLR4, phosphorylated NF-κBp65 and Bax, but enhanced the expression of Bcl-2. Conclusion: These results provide substantial evidence that BCF exerts a protective effect on myocardial I/R injury, which may be attributed to attenuating lipid peroxidation, the inflammatory response and apoptosis.

Abstract Background/aims: Type 2 diabetes mellitus aggravates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI). Activation of adenosine receptors (ARs) confer to attenuated MI/RI in nondiabetic animals and human. However, this effects and mechanism of ARs in the type 2 diabetic state are still unknown. In present study, we established a type 2 diabetic rat in vivo myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) model to evaluate the effect of ARs on MI/RI with a focus on the A2A adenosine receptor (A2 AR) -mediated cardioprotective effects. Methods: Type 2 diabetic rat were subjected to myocardial infarction by LAD ligation in situ and randomly received ARs agonist and/or antagonists or vehicle treatment. After 2h marker of the extent of myocardial damage(ejection fraction of the LV, Infarct size, plasma cardiac troponin I) were measured and pro- and anti-apoptotic signals (protein kinase Cα，Bcl-2, Bax, miR-15), and marker of apoptosis execution (cleaved caspase-3, TUNEL) were quantified in the infarcted myocardium.Results: non-selective adenosine receptor agonist 5′-(N-ethylcarboxamido) adenosine treatment attenuates MI/RI, improve post-MI/R left ventricular function, limit infarct size, reduce cardiac troponin I release, reduce myocardial apoptosis, up-regulates bcl2 and down-regulates miR-15a, bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression; This protective effects were attenuated by pretreatment with selective A2AR antagonist ZM241385 or PKCα-selective inhibitor Go6976; and duplicated by treatment with A2AR-selective agonist CGS21680 or PKCα-potent activator PMA.Conclusions: NECA reduces MI/RI in T2DM rats via the A2AR/PKCα/miR-15a signaling pathway; NECA is a useful target candidate for the treatment of MI/RI in patient with type 2diabetes.

Abstract Background: This study aimed to investigate the regulatory effect of rno-microRNA-30c-5p (rno-miR-30c-5p) on myocardial ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury in rats and the underlying molecular mechanisms.Methods: A rat model of myocardial IR injury was established. The infarct size was detected by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining. The pathologic changes of myocardial tissues were detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The apoptosis of myocardial cells was measured by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry. The mRNA expression of rno-miR-30c-5p and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) was detected by quantitative real-time PCR. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The protein expression of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, p-IκBα, IκBα, p-NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65 and SIRT1 was detected by Western blot. The interaction between rno-miR-30c-5p and SIRT1 was predicted by TargetScan, and further identified by dual luciferase reporter gene and RNA immunoprecipitation assay.Results: The myocardial IR injury model was successfully established in rats. IR induced the myocardial injury in rats and increased the expression of rno-miR-30c-5p. Overexpression of rno-miR-30c-5p enhanced the inflammation, promoted the apoptosis, and activated NF-κB pathway in IR myocardial cells. SIRT1 was the target gene of rno-miR-30c-5p. Silencing of SIRT1 reversed the effects of rno-miR-30c-5p inhibitor on the apoptosis and NF-κB pathway in IR myocardial cells.Conclusions: Rno-miR-30c-5p promoted the myocardial IR injury in rats through activating NF-κB pathway and down-regulating SIRT1.

Background Pro‐NTs (precursor of neurotrophins) and their receptor p75 are potential targets for preventing microvascular dysfunction induced by myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury ( IRI ). p75ECD (ectodomain of neurotrophin receptor p75) may physiologically produce neurocytoprotective effects by scavenging pro‐ NT s. We therefore hypothesized that p75 ECD may have a cardioprotective effect on IRI through microvascular mechanisms. Methods and Results Myocardial IRI was induced in Sprague‐Dawley rats by occluding the left main coronary arteries for 45 minutes before a subsequent relaxation. Compared with the ischemia–reperfusion group, an intravenous injection of p75 ECD (3 mg/kg) 5 minutes before reperfusion reduced the myocardial infarct area at 24 hours after reperfusion (by triphenyltetrazolium chloride, 44.9±3.9% versus 34.6±5.7%, P <0.05); improved the left ventricular ejection fraction (by echocardiography), with less myocardial fibrosis (by Masson's staining), and prevented microvascular dysfunction (by immunofluorescence) at 28 days after reperfusion; and reduced myocardial pro‐ NT s expression at 24 hours and 28 days after reperfusion (by Western blotting). A simulative IRI model using rat microvascular pericytes was established in vitro by hypoxia–reoxygenation (2/6 hours) combined with pro‐ NT s treatment (3 nmol/L) at R. p75 ECD (3 μg/mL) given at R improved pericyte survival (by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay) and attenuated apoptosis (by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase‐mediated dUTP‐biotin nick‐end labeling). In the reperfused hearts and hypoxia–reoxygenation +pro‐ NT s‐injured pericytes, p75 ECD inhibited the expression of p‐JNK (phospho of c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase)/caspase‐3 (by Western blotting). SP 600125, an inhibitor of JNK , did not enhance the p75 ECD ‐induced infarct‐sparing effects and pericyte protection. Conclusions p75 ECD may attenuate myocardial IRI via pro‐ NT s reduction‐induced inhibition of p‐ JNK /caspase‐3 pathway of microvascular pericytes in rats.

Patients with diabetes are more vulnerable to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury, which is associated with excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and decreased antioxidant defense. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), a regulator of the antioxidant protein peroxiredoxin 1 (Prdx1), is associated with several pathological conditions in the cardiovascular system. This study investigated whether tubastatin A (TubA), a highly selective HDAC6 inhibitor, could confer a protective effect by modulating Prdx1 acetylation in a rat model of MI/R and an in vitro model of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Here, we found that diabetic hearts with excessive HDAC6 activity and decreased acetylated-Prdx1 levels were more vulnerable to MI/R injury. TubA treatment robustly improved cardiac function, reduced cardiac infarction, attenuated ROS generation, and increased acetylated-Prdx1 levels in diabetic MI/R rats. These results were further confirmed by an in vitro study using H9c2 cells. Furthermore, a study using Prdx1 acetyl-silencing mutants (K197R) showed that TubA only slightly attenuated H/R-induced cell death and ROS generation in K197R-transfected H9c2 cells exposed to high glucose (HG), but these differences were not statistically significant. Taken together, these findings suggest that HDAC6 inhibition reduces ROS generation and confers a protective effect against MI/R or H/R injury by modulating Prdx1 acetylation at K197.

Although miR-327 had a protective effect on cardiomyocytes as described previously, the potential mechanism still needs further exploration. The aim of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of miR-327 on oxidative stress in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI) process. Oxidative stress and cardiomyocytes injury were detected in rat model of MI/RI, hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R), and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) model of H9c2 cells. In vitro, downregulation of miR-327 inhibited both H/R- and TBHP-induced oxidative stress, and suppressed apoptosis. Meanwhile, fibroblast growth factor 10(FGF10) was enhanced by miR-327 knocked down, followed by the activation of p-PI3K and p-Akt, and the translocation of Nrf2. However, miR-327 overexpression performed with opposite effects. Consistent with the results in vitro, downregulation of miR-327 attenuated reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation as well as intrinsic apoptosis, and alleviated I/R injury. In conclusion, inhibition of miR-327 improved antioxidative ability and myocardial cell survival via regulating the FGF10/Akt/Nrf2 pathway.
