Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in cardiomyocytes is related to excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and can be modulated by nitric oxide (NO). We have previously shown that grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE), a naturally occurring antioxidant, decreased ROS and may potentially stimulate NO production. In this study, we investigated whether GSPE administration at reperfusion was associated with cardioprotection and enhanced NO production in a cardiomyocyte I/R model. GSPE attenuated I/R‐induced cell death [18.0 ± 1.8% (GSPE, 50 µg/ml) vs. 42.3 ± 3.0% (I/R control), P < 0.001], restored contractility (6/6 vs. 0/6, respectively), and increased NO release. The NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor Nω‐nitro‐L‐arginine methyl ester (L‐NAME, 200 µM) significantly reduced GSPE‐induced NO release and its associated cardioprotection [32.7 ± 2.7% (GSPE + L‐NAME) vs. 18.0 ± 1.8% (GSPE alone), P < 0.01]. To determine whether GSPE induced NO production was mediated by the Akt‐eNOS pathway, we utilized the Akt inhibitor API‐2. API‐2 (10 µM) abrogated GSPE‐induced protection [44.3% ± 2.2% (GSPE + API‐2) vs. 27.0% ± 4.3% (GSPE alone), P < 0.01], attenuated the enhanced phosphorylation of Akt at Ser473 in GSPE‐treated cells and attenuated GSPE‐induced NO increases. Simultaneously blocking NOS activation (L‐NAME) and Akt (API‐2) resulted in decreased NO levels similar to using each inhibitor independently. These data suggest that in the context of GSPE stimulation, Akt may help activate eNOS, leading to protective levels of NO. GSPE offers an alternative approach to therapeutic cardioprotection against I/R injury and may offer unique opportunities to improve cardiovascular health by enhancing NO production and increasing Akt‐eNOS signaling.

The inhibition in the synthesis or bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) has an important role in progress of hypertension. The blocking of nitric oxide synthase activity may cause vasoconstriction with the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Propolis is a resinous substance collected by honey bees from various plants. Propolis has biological and pharmacological properties. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of propolis on catalase (CAT) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and NO levels in the testis tissues of hypertensive rats by Nω‐nitro‐l ‐arginine methyl ester (l ‐NAME). Rats have received nitric oxide synthase inhibitor (l ‐NAME, 40 mg kg?1, intraperitoneally) for 15 days to produce hypertension and propolis (200 mg kg?1, by gavage) during the last 5 days. MDA level in l ‐NAME‐treated group significantly increased compared with control group (P < 0.01). MDA level of l ‐NAME + propolis‐treated rats significantly reduced (P < 0.01) compared with l ‐NAME‐treated group. CAT activity and NO level significantly reduced (P < 0.01) in l ‐NAME group compared with control group. There were no statistically significant increases in the CAT activity and NO level of the l ‐NAME + propolis group compared with the l ‐NAME‐treated group (P > 0.01). These results suggest that propolis changes CAT activity, NO and MDA levels in testis of l ‐NAME‐treated animals, and so it may modulate the antioxidant system.

Myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury attenuates the beneficial effects of reperfusion therapy. Poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) is overactivated during myocardial I/R injury. Mitophagy plays a critical role in the development of myocardial I/R injury. However, the effect of PARP activation on mitophagy in cardiomyocytes is unknown. In this study, we found that I/R induced PARP activation and mitophagy in mouse hearts. Poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase inhibition reduced the infarct size and suppressed mitophagy after myocardial I/R injury. In vitro, hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) activated PARP, promoted mitophagy and induced cell apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase inhibition suppressed H/R‐induced mitophagy and cell apoptosis. Parkin knockdown with lentivirus vectors inhibited mitophagy and prevented cell apoptosis in H/R‐treated cells. Poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase inhibition prevented the loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). Cyclosporin A maintained ΔΨm and suppressed mitophagy but FCCP reduced the effect of PARP inhibition on ΔΨm and promoted mitophagy, indicating the critical role of ΔΨm in H/R‐induced mitophagy. Furthermore, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and poly(ADP‐ribosylation) of CypD and TSPO might contribute to the regulation of ΔΨm by PARP. Our findings thus suggest that PARP inhibition protects against I/R‐induced cell apoptosis by suppressing excessive mitophagy via the ΔΨm/Parkin pathway. 相似文献

Toll‐like receptor (TLR)‐mediated signalling plays a role in cerebral ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Modulation of TLRs has been reported to protect against cerebral I/R injury. This study examined whether modulation of TLR3 with poly (I:C) will induce protection against cerebral I/R injury. Mice were treated with or without Poly (I:C) (n = 8/group) 1 hr prior to cerebral ischaemia (60 min.) followed by reperfusion (24 hrs). Poly (I:C) pre‐treatment significantly reduced the infarct volume by 57.2% compared with untreated I/R mice. Therapeutic administration of Poly (I:C), administered 30 min. after cerebral ischaemia, markedly decreased infarct volume by 34.9%. However, Poly (I:C)‐induced protection was lost in TLR3 knockout mice. In poly (I:C)‐treated mice, there was less neuronal damage in the hippocampus compared with untreated I/R mice. Poly (I:C) treatment induced IRF3 phosphorylation, but it inhibited NF‐κB activation in the brain. Poly (I:C) also decreased I/R‐induced apoptosis by attenuation of Fas/FasL‐mediated apoptotic signalling. In addition, Poly (I:C) treatment decreased microglial cell caspase‐3 activity. In vitro data showed that Poly (I:C) prevented hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)‐induced interaction between Fas and FADD as well as caspase‐3 and ‐8 activation in microglial cells. Importantly, Poly (I:C) treatment induced co‐association between TLR3 and Fas. Our data suggest that Poly (I:C) decreases in cerebral I/R injury via TLR3 which associates with Fas, thereby preventing the interaction of Fas and FADD, as well as microglial cell caspase‐3 and ‐8 activities. We conclude that TLR3 modulation by Poly (I:C) could be a potential approach for protection against ischaemic stroke. 相似文献

1‐O‐Hexyl‐2,3,5‐trimethylhydroquinone (HTHQ), a lipophilic phenolic agent, has an antioxidant activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging property. However, the role of HTHQ on cerebral ischaemic/reperfusion (I/R) injury and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In the present study, we demonstrated that HTHQ treatment ameliorated cerebral I/R injury in vivo, as demonstrated by the decreased infarct volume ration, neurological deficits, oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis. HTHQ treatment increased the levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its downstream antioxidant protein, haeme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1). In addition, HTHQ treatment decreases oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis of PC12 cells following hypoxia and reperfusion (H/R) in vitro. Moreover, we provided evidence that PC12 cells were more vulnerable to H/R‐induced oxidative stress after si‐Nrf2 transfection, and the HTHQ‐mediated protection was lost in PC12 cells transfected with siNrf2. In conclusion, these results suggested that HTHQ possesses neuroprotective effects against oxidative stress and apoptosis after cerebral I/R injury via activation of the Nrf2/HO‐1 pathway. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor β‐activated protein kinase 1 (TAK1) involves in various biological responses and is a key regulator of cell death. However, the role of TAK1 on acute myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury is unknown. We observed that TAK1 activation increased significantly after MI/R and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R), and we hypothesized that TAK1 has an important role in MI/R injury. Mice (TAK1 inhibiting by 5Z‐7‐oxozeaenol or silencing by AAV9 vector) were exposed to MI/R injury. Primary cardiomyocytes (TAK1 silencing by siRNA; and overexpressing TAK1 by adenovirus vector) were used to induce H/R injury model in vitro. Inhibition of TAK1 significantly decreased MI/R‐induced myocardial infarction area, reduced cell death and improved cardiac function. Mechanistically, TAK1 silencing suppressed MI/R‐induced myocardial oxidative stress and attenuated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, the inhibition of ROS by NAC partially reversed the damage of TAK1 in vitro. Our study presents the first direct evidence that inhibition of TAK1 mitigated MI/R injury, and TAK1 mediated ROS/ER stress/apoptosis signal pathway is important for the pathogenesis of MI/R injury. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to be linked with numerous diseases, including osteoarthritis (OA). Our study aimed to examine the effect of simvastatin on NO‐ or ROS‐induced cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) expression in OA. Simvastatin has attracted considerable attention since the discovery of its pharmacological effects on different pathogenic processes, including inflammation. Here, we report that simvastatin treatment blocked sodium nitroprusside (SNP)‐ and interleukin 1 beta (IL‐1β)‐induced COX‐2 production. In addition, simvastatin attenuated SNP‐induced NO production and IL‐1β‐induced ROS generation. Treatment with simvastatin prevented SNP‐ and IL‐1β‐induced nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) activity. Inhibiting NO production and ROS generation using N‐acetylcysteine (NAC) and NG‐monomethyl‐ l ‐arginine ( l ‐NMMA), respectively, accelerated the influence of simvastatin on NF‐κB activity. In addition, NAC blocked SNP and simvastatin‐mediated COX‐2 production and NF‐κB activity but did not alter IL‐1β and simvastatin‐mediated COX‐2 expression. l ‐NMMA treatment also abolished IL‐1β‐mediated COX‐2 expression and NF‐κB activation, whereas SNP and simvastatin‐mediated COX‐2 expression were not altered compared with the levels in the SNP and simvastatin‐treated cells. Our findings suggested that simvastatin blocks COX‐2 expression by inhibiting SNP‐induced NO production and IL‐1β‐induced ROS generation by blocking the NF‐κB pathway. 相似文献

‘Methylamine irisolidone’ (=5,7‐dihydroxy‐6‐methoxy‐3‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐8‐[(methylamino)methyl]‐4H‐[1]benzopyran‐4‐one), a new compound, is a structurally modified kakkalide with good water solubility. In this study, we investigated its effect on hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in cultured rat cardiac myocytes. The results showed that methylamine irisolidone could significantly inhibit lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, enhance the mitochondrial membrane potential, decrease intracellular calcium (Ca2+) associated with the attenuation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, reduce contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), and increase the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) after H/R in a dose‐dependent manner. The present study demonstrated that methylamine irisolidone can directly protect cardiomyocytes against H/R injury, primarily as a result of reduction of the intracellular Ca2+ overload coincident with an attenuation of ROS generation and ROS‐mediated lipid peroxidation, which may contribute to the preservation of mitochondrion function and antioxidant against H/R injury. 相似文献

Impaired mitochondrial function is a key factor attributing to lung ischaemia‐reperfusion (IR) injury, which contributes to major post‐transplant complications. Thus, the current study was performed to investigate the role of mitochondrial autophagy in lung I/R injury and the involvement of the mTOR pathway. We established rat models of orthotopic left lung transplantation to investigate the role of mitochondrial autophagy in I/R injury following lung transplantation. Next, we treated the donor lungs with 3‐MA and Rapamycin to evaluate mitochondrial autophagy, lung function and cell apoptosis with different time intervals of cold ischaemia preservation and reperfusion. In addition, mitochondrial autophagy, and cell proliferation and apoptosis of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) exposed to hypoxia‐reoxygenation (H/R) were monitored after 3‐MA administration or Rapamycin treatment. The cell apoptosis could be inhibited by mitochondrial autophagy at the beginning of lung ischaemia, but was rendered out of control when mitochondrial autophagy reached normal levels. After I/R of donor lung, the mitochondrial autophagy was increased until 6 hours after reperfusion and then gradually decreased. The elevation of mitochondrial autophagy was accompanied by promoted apoptosis, aggravated lung injury and deteriorated lung function. Moreover, the suppression of mitochondrial autophagy by 3‐MA inhibited cell apoptosis of donor lung to alleviate I/R‐induced lung injury as well as inhibited H/R‐induced PMVEC apoptosis, and enhanced its proliferation. Finally, mTOR pathway participated in I/R‐ and H/R‐mediated mitochondrial autophagy in regulation of cell apoptosis. Inhibition of I/R‐induced mitochondrial autophagy alleviated lung injury via the mTOR pathway, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for lung I/R injury. 相似文献

Hypoxic injury of cardiovascular system is one of the most frequent complications following ischaemia. Heart injury arises from increased degradation of contractile proteins, such as myosin light chains (MLCs) and troponin I by matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP‐2). The aim of the current research was to study the effects of 5‐phenyloxyphenyl‐5‐aminoalkyl nitrate barbiturate (MMP‐2‐inhibitor‐NO‐donor hybrid) on hearts subjected to ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Primary human cardiac myocytes and Wistar rat hearts perfused using Langendorff method have been used. Human cardiomyocytes or rat hearts were subjected to I/R in the presence or absence of tested hybrid. Haemodynamic parameters of heart function, markers of I/R injury, gene and protein expression of MMP‐2, MMP‐9, inducible form of NOS (iNOS), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), as well as MMP‐2 activity were measured. Mechanical heart function, coronary flow (CF) and heart rate (HR) were decreased in hearts subjected to I/R Treatment of hearts with the hybrid (1‐10 µmol/L) resulted in a concentration‐dependent recovery of mechanical function, improved CF and HR. This improvement was associated with decreased tissue injury and reduction of synthesis and activity of MMP‐2. Decreased activity of intracellular MMP‐2 led to reduced degradation of MLC and improved myocyte contractility in a concentration‐dependent manner. An infusion of a MMP‐2‐inhibitor‐NO‐donor hybrid into I/R hearts decreased the expression of iNOS and reduced the levels of ADMA. Thus, 5‐phenyloxyphenyl‐5‐aminoalkyl nitrate barbiturate protects heart from I/R injury. 相似文献

Ultraviolet (UV) B irradiation evokes erythema and delayed pigmentation in skin, where a variety of toxic and modulating events are known to be involved. Nitric oxide (NO) is generated from l ‐arginine by NO synthases (NOS). Production of NO is enhanced in response to UVB‐stimulation and has an important role in the development of erythema. NO has recently been demonstrated as a melanogen which stimulates melanocytes in vitro, however, no known in vivo data has been reported to support this finding. In this study, we investigated the contribution of NO with UV‐induced pigmentation in an animal model using an NOS inhibitor. UVB‐induced erythema in guinea pig skin was reduced when an NOS inhibitor, l ‐NAME (N‐nitro‐ l ‐arginine methylester hydrochloride), was topically applied to the skin daily, beginning 3 days before UVB‐irradiation. Delayed pigmentation and an increased number of DOPA‐positive melanocytes in the skin were markedly suppressed by sequential daily treatment with l ‐NAME. Furthermore, melanin content 13 days after UVB‐irradiation was significantly lower in skin treated with l ‐NAME than in the controls. In contrast, d ‐NAME (N‐nitro‐ d ‐arginine methylester hydrochloride), an ineffective isomer of l ‐NAME, demonstrated no effect on these UV‐induced skin responses. These results suggest that NO production may contribute to the regulation of UVB‐induced pigmentation. 相似文献

The present study investigated the effects of a 6‐week swimming training on blood pressure, nitric oxide (NO) levels and oxidative stress parameters such as protein and lipid oxidation, antioxidant enzyme activity and endogenous non‐enzymatic antioxidant content in kidney and circulating fluids, as well as on serum biochemical parameters (cholesterol, triglycerides, urea and creatinine) from Nω‐nitro‐L‐arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L‐NAME)‐induced hypertension treated rats. Animals were divided into four groups (n = 10): Control, Exercise, L‐NAME and Exercise L‐NAME. Results showed that exercise prevented a decrease in NO levels in hypertensive rats (P < 0·05). An increase in protein and lipid oxidation observed in the L‐NAME‐treated group was reverted by physical training in serum from the Exercise L‐NAME group (P < 0·05). A decrease in the catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities in the L‐NAME group was observed when compared with normotensive groups (P < 0·05). In kidney, exercise significantly augmented the CAT and SOD activities in the Exercise L‐NAME group when compared with the L‐NAME group (P < 0·05). There was a decrease in the non‐protein thiols (NPSH) levels in the L‐NAME‐treated group when compared with the normotensive groups (P < 0·05). In the Exercise L‐NAME group, there was an increase in NPSH levels when compared with the L‐NAME group (P < 0·05). The elevation in serum cholesterol, triglycerides, urea and creatinine levels observed in the L‐NAME group were reverted to levels close to normal by exercise in the Exercise L‐NAME group (P < 0·05). Exercise training had hypotensive effect, reducing blood pressure in the Exercise L‐NAME group (P < 0·05). These findings suggest that physical training could have a protector effect against oxidative damage and renal injury caused by hypertension. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Hypoxic postconditioning enhances the survival and inhibits apoptosis of cardiomyocytes following reoxygenation: role of peroxynitrite formation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Wang HC Zhang HF Guo WY Su H Zhang KR Li QX Yan W Ma XL Lopez BL Christopher TA Gao F 《Apoptosis : an international journal on programmed cell death》2006,11(8):1453-1460
Objectives: Our previous study has shown that slow or “controlled” reperfusion for the ischemic heart reduces cardiomyocyte injury and
myocardial infarction, while the mechanisms involved are largely unclear. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that enhancement
of survival and prevention of apoptosis in hypoxic/reoxygenated cardiomyocytes by hypoxic postconditioning (HPC) are associated
with the reduction in peroxynitrite (ONOO−) formation induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R). Methods: Isolated adult rat cardiomyocytes were exposed to 2 h of hypoxia followed by 3 h of reoxygenation. After 2 h of hypoxia
the cardiomyocytes were either abruptly reperfused with pre-oxygenized culture medium or postconditioned by two cycles of
5 min of brief reoxygenation and 5 min of re-hypoxia followed by 160 min of abrupt reoxygenation. Results: H/R resulted in severe injury in cardiomyocytes as evidenced by decreased cell viability, increased LDH leakage in the culture
medium, increased apoptotic index (P values all less than 0.01 vs. normoxia control group) and DNA ladder formation, which could be significantly attenuated by
HPC treatment applied before the abrupt reoxygenation (P < 0.05 vs. H/R group). In addition, H/R induced a significant increase in ONOO− formation as determined by nitrotyrosine content in cardiomyocytes (P < 0.01 vs. normoxia control). Treatment with the potent ONOO− scavenger uric acid (UA) at reoxygenation significantly decreased ONOO− production and protected myocytes against H/R injury, whereas the same treatment with UA could not further enhance myocyte
survival in HPC group (P > 0.05 vs. HPC alone). Statistical analysis showed that cell viability closely correlated inversely with myocyte ONOO− formation (P < 0.01). Conclusion: These data demonstrate that hypoxic postconditioning protects myocytes against apoptosis following reoxygenation and enhances
myocytes survival, which is partly attributable to the reduced ONOO− formation following reoxygenation.

This study was aimed at investigating the effects of lncRNA AK139328 on myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) in diabetic mice. Ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) model was constructed in normal mice (NM) and diabetic mice (DM). Microarray analysis was utilized to identify lncRNA AK139328 overexpressed in DM after myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (MI/R). RT‐qPCR assay was utilized to investigate the expressions of lncRNA AK139328 and miR‐204‐3p in cardiomyocyte and tissues. Left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and fractioning shortening (FS) were obtained by transthoracic echocardiography. Haematoxylin‐eosin (HE) staining and Masson staining were utilized to detect the damage of myocardial tissues degradation of myocardial fibres and integrity of myocardial collagen fibres. Evans Blue/TTC staining was used to determine the myocardial infarct size. TUNEL staining was utilized to investigate cardiomyocyte apoptosis. The targeted relationship between lncRNA AK139328 and miR‐204‐3p was confirmed by dual‐luciferase reporter gene assay. MTT assay was used for analysis of cardiomyocyte proliferation. Western blot was utilized to investigate the expression of alpha smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA), Atg7, Atg5, LC3‐II/LC3‐I and p62 marking autophagy. Knockdown of lncRNA AK139328 relieved myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion injury in DM and inhibited cardiomyocyte autophagy as well as apoptosis of DM. LncRNA AK139328 modulated miR‐204‐3p directly. MiR‐204‐3p and knockdown of lncRNA AK139328 relieved hypoxia/reoxygenation injury via inhibiting cardiomyocyte autophagy. Silencing lncRNA AK139328 significantly increased miR‐204‐3p expression and inhibited cardiomyocyte autophagy, thereby attenuating MIRI in DM. 相似文献

Schisantherin A protects renal tubular epithelial cells from hypoxia/reoxygenation injury through the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway 下载免费PDF全文
Schisantherin A (SchA), a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan isolated from the fruit of Schisandra sphenanthera, was reported to possess anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, its protective effect against renal ischemia‐reperfusion (I/R) injury in human renal tubular epithelial cells subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) has never been studied. Thus, herein, we investigated the effect of SchA on renal I/R injury in vitro. Our results demonstrated that SchA pretreatment significantly improved HK‐2 cell viability exposed to H/R. Pretreatment with SchA markedly inhibited the levels of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde, as well as suppressed the production of tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α), interleukin‐1β, and interleukin‐6 in H/R‐stimulated HK‐2 cells. In addition, SchA also suppressed H/R‐induced HK‐2 cell apoptosis. Furthermore, this protective effect of SchA was mediated through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in HK‐2 cells. These findings showed that SchA may exert a protective effect on renal tubular epithelial cells against H/R injury through the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. 相似文献

Circular RNA YAP1 (circYAP1) was reported to participate in progression of gastric cancer. However, the role of circYAP1 in acute kidney injury (AKI) remains obscure. We attempted to examine the effects of circYAP1 on ischaemia/reperfusion‐stimulated renal injury. AKI model was established by treating HK‐2 cells in ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) environment. CircYAP1 expression in blood of AKI patients and I/R‐treated HK‐2 cells was evaluated via RT‐qPCR. CCK‐8, flow cytometry, ELISA and ROS assay were executed to test the impact of circYAP1 on cell viability, apoptosis, inflammatory cytokines and ROS generation. Bioinformatic analysis was executed to explore miRNA targets. The relativity between circYAP1 and miR‐21‐5p was verified by RT‐qPCR and luciferase assay. The functions of miR‐21‐5p in I/R‐triggered injury were reassessed. PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was detected by Western blot. Down‐regulated circYAP1 was observed in AKI blood samples and I/R‐treated HK‐2 cells. CircYAP1 overexpression expedited cell growth and weakened secretion of inflammatory factors and ROS generation in I/R‐disposed cells. Besides, we found circYAP1 could sponge to miR‐21‐5p. Interestingly, miR‐21‐5p overexpression overturned the repressive effects of circYAP1 on cell injury. Moreover, PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was activated by circYAP1 via inhibiting miR‐21‐5p. We demonstrated that circYAP1 activated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and secured HK‐2 cells from I/R injury via sponging miR‐21‐5p. 相似文献
