Therapeutic hypothermia alleviates myocardial ischaemia–reperfusion injury by inhibiting inflammation and fibrosis via the mediation of the SIRT3/NLRP3 signalling pathway

Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) may attenuate myocardial ischaemia–reperfusion injury, thereby improving outcomes in acute myocardial infarction. However, the specific mechanism by which TH alleviates MIRI has not been elucidated so far. In this study, 120 healthy male Sprague‐Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups. Haemodynamic parameters, myocardial infarction area, histological changes and the levels of cardiac enzymes, caspase‐1 and inflammatory cytokines were determined. In addition, the extent of myocardial fibrosis, the degree of cardiomyocyte apoptosis and the expression levels of SIRT3, GSDMD‐N, fibrosis‐related proteins and inflammation‐related proteins were estimated.TH reduced myocardial infarct area and cardiac enzyme levels, improved cardiomyopathic damage and haemodynamic indexes, and attenuated myocardial fibrosis, the protein expression levels of collagen I and III, myocardial apoptosis, the levels of inflammatory cytokines and inflammation‐related proteins. Notably, the immunofluorescence and protein expression levels of SIRT3 were upregulated in the 34H+DMSO group compared to the I/R group, but this protective effect was abolished by the SIRT3 inhibitor 3‐TYP. After administration of Mcc950, the reversal effects of 3‐TYP were significantly abolished, and TH could protect against MIRI in a rat isolated heart model by inhibiting inflammation and fibrosis. The SIRT3/NLRP3 signalling pathway is one of the most important signalling pathways in this regard.     

Influence of myocardial infarction on changes in the expression of angiotensin type 1 receptor in the rat prostate

Angiotensin II (AngII) is the biologically active peptide of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Tissue- based, local RAS has been identified in the prostate, testis, epididymis and coagulating glands. Experimental and clinical studies have consistently shown that myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with activation of the systemic RAS with increased concentration of angiotensin peptides in the blood and changes in expression of angiotensin receptors (AT). Changes in angiotensin receptors in the renal and cardiovascular system after MI are well recognized, but the effects of MI influence on changes in other tissue like the prostate gland are unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effect of myocardial infarction on angiotensin receptor protein and mRNA expression in the rat prostate gland. MI model was established in Wistar rats by ligating the left coronary artery (modified Selye method). The levels of AT1a-b and AT2 receptor mRNAs and proteins were measured in the rat prostate. Our study demonstrates tissue-specific changes in AT1a-b and AT2 receptor expression after myocardial infarction. The results show that MI has a strong influence on the expression of angiotensin receptor type AT1 in the prostate at the protein and mRNA level.     

Altered Gene Expression Pattern in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Background

Despite a substantial progress in diagnosis and therapy, acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of mortality in the general population. A novel insight into the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction obtained by studying gene expression should help to discover novel biomarkers of MI and to suggest novel strategies of therapy. The aim of our study was to establish gene expression patterns in leukocytes from acute myocardial infarction patients.

Methods and Results

Twenty-eight patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were included. The blood was collected on the 1^st day of myocardial infarction, after 4–6 days, and after 6 months. Control group comprised 14 patients with stable coronary artery disease, without history of myocardial infarction. Gene expression analysis was performed with Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays and GCS3000 TG system. Lists of genes showing altered expression levels (fold change >1.5, p<0.05) were submitted to Ingenuity Pathway Analysis. Gene lists from each group were examined for canonical pathways and molecular and cellular functions. Comparing acute phase of MI with the same patients after 6 months (stable phase) and with control group we found 24 genes with changed expression. In canonical analysis three pathways were highlighted: signaling of PPAR (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor), IL-10 and IL-6 (interleukin 10 and 6).

Conclusions

In the acute phase of STEMI, dozens of genes from several pathways linked with lipid/glucose metabolism, platelet function and atherosclerotic plaque stability show altered expression. Up-regulation of SOCS3 and FAM20 genes in the first days of myocardial infarction is observed in the vast majority of patients.     

Relation between expression of TNF alpha, iNOS, VEGF mRNA and development of heart failure after experimental myocardial infarction in rats.

An injury to the heart due to myocardial infarction (MI) may progress to heart failure. Among factors, whose interactions promote remodeling of ischemic myocardium, the increased expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) was found. However, little is known about the temporal and spatial relation between expression of iNOS, cytokine TNFalpha, and growth factor VEGF during pathological process of development of heart failure after the myocardial infarction. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used for experimental myocardial infarction. The procedure was performed by anterolateral thoracotomy and snearing LAD with the metal clip. The hemodynamic measurements were done with the Langendorff preparation converted into a working heart system. The hemodynamic parameters were recorded at day 6, 11, 28, 40 and the myocardium for gene expression was collected at day 1, 4, 11, 28, 40. Control group was sham operated rats. The VEGF, TNFalpha, iNOS, and GAPDH genes were detected by RT-PCR assay from samples taken at border zone of myocardial infarction. Expression of isoform VEGF120 was found at day 1 and 4 after MI, whereas isoforms VEGF164 and VEGF188 along with expression of TNFalpha and iNOS was found at day 1, 4, 11, 28, 40. No expression of examined genes was detected in the myocardium of control rats. The expression of studied factors was parallel with development of heart failure after myocardial infarction assessed by hemodynamic measurements. These findings confirm the postulated involvement of TNFalpha, iNOS and growth factor VEGF in the remodeling of the myocardium and development of heart failure after experimental myocardial infarction.

Stilbenoid pterostilbene complexed with cyclodextrin preserves left ventricular function after myocardial infarction in rats: possible involvement of thiol proteins and modulation of phosphorylated GSK-3β

Abstract

Oxidative stress alters signalling pathways for survival and cell death favouring the adverse remodelling of postmyocardial remnant cardiomyocytes, promoting functional impairment. The administration of pterostilbene (PTS), a phytophenol with antioxidant potential, can promote cardioprotection and represents a therapeutic alternative in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The present study aims to explore the effects of oral administration of PTS complexed with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin HPβCD (PTS:HPβCD complex) on the glutathione cycle, thiol protein activities and signalling pathways involving the protein kinase B (AKT) and glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) proteins in the left ventricle (LV) of infarcted rats. Animals were submitted to acute myocardial infarction through surgical ligation of the descending anterior branch of the left coronary artery and received over 8 days, by gavage, PTS:HPβCD complex at dose of 100?mg?kg^?1?day^?1 (AMI?+?PTS group) or vehicle (aqueous solution with HPβCD) divided into Sham-operated (SHAM) and infarcted (AMI) groups. The results showed that the PBS: HPβCD complex decreased lipid peroxidation, prevented the decrease in thioredoxin reductase (TRxR) activity, and increased the activity of glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and glutaredoxin (GRx). Additionally, the expression of nuclear factor-erythroid two (Nrf2) and p-GSK-3β was increased, whereas the p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β ratio was reduced in the LV of the infarcted animals. Overall, the PTS:HPβCD complex modulates activity of thiol-dependent enzymes and induces to the expression of antioxidant proteins, improving systolic function and mitigating the adverse cardiac remodelling post infarction.
