RESUMO

Aim To explore the mechanism of hydroxy-a-sanshool in the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy ( DCM) based on label-free quantitative proteomics detection technique. Methods DCM model was established by high fat diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin ( STZ) . They were divided into control group ( CON group ) , diabetic cardiomyopathy group (DCM group) and hydroxy-a-sanshool treatment group ( DCM + SAN group) . The cardiac function of mice was evaluated by echocardiography, the myocardial morphology was observed by pathology staining, the protective mechanism of hydroxy-a-sanshool on diabetic cardiomyopathy was speculated by proteomic technique , and the expression level of cAMP/PKA signaling pathway and key proteins were verified by Western blotting. Results Cardiac ultrasound and pathology staining showed that hydroxy-a-sanshool had protective effect on the heart of DCM mice. Label-free quantitative proteomic analysis was carried out between DCM + SAN group and DCM group, and 160 differential pro-teins were identified by proteomics, in which 127 proteins were up-regulated and 33 proteins were down regulated ; GO secondary functional annotations showed the biological process, molecular function and cellular component; KEGG enrichment analysis showed that cAMP signaling pathway was the most abundant; protein interaction network showed that PKA as the central node interacted with many proteins in the cAMP signaling pathway. Western blot showed that the relative expression of с AMP, PKA protein in DCM group was significantly lower than that in CON group ( P < 0. 05 ) , while the relative expression of cAMP, PKA protein in DCM + SAN group was significantly higher than that in DCM group ( P < 0. 05 ) . Conclusions Hydroxy-a-sanshool has protective effect on heart function of mice with diabetes, which plays a role through cAMP signaling pathway.

RESUMO

With the increasing incidence of diabetes mellitus in recent years, cardiomyopathy caused by diabetes mellitus has aroused wide concern and this disease is characterized by high insidiousness and high mortality. The early pathological changes of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) are mitochondrial structural disorders and loss of myocardial metabolic flexibility. The turbulence of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is a key mechanism leading to the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and loss of myocardial metabolic flexibility, which, together with elevated levels of oxidative stress and inflammation, trigger changes in myocardial structure and function. Qi deficiency and stagnation is caused by the loss of healthy Qi, and the dysfunction of Qi transformation results in the accumulation of pathogenic Qi, which further triggers injuries. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), DCM is rooted in Qi deficiency of the heart, spleen, and kidney. The dysfunction of Qi transformation leads to the generation and lingering of turbidity, stasis, and toxin in the nutrient-blood and vessels, ultimately damaging the heart. Therefore, Qi deficiency and stagnation is the basic pathologic mechanism of DCM. Mitochondria, similar to Qi in substance and function, are one of the microscopic manifestations of Qi. The role of MQC is consistent with the defense function of Qi. In the case of MQC turbulence, mitochondrial structure and function are impaired. As a result, Qi deficiency gradually emerges and triggers pathological changes, which make it difficult to remove the stagnant pathogenic factor and aggravates the MQC turbulence. Ultimately, DCM occurs. Targeting MQC to treat DCM has become the focus of current research, and TCM has the advantages of acting on multiple targets and pathways. According to the pathogenesis of Qi deficiency and stagnation in DCM and the modern medical understanding of MQC, the treatment should follow the principles of invigorating healthy Qi, tonifying deficiency, and regulating Qi movement. This paper aims to provide ideas for formulating prescriptions and clinical references for the TCM treatment of DCM by targeting MQC.

RESUMO

Resumen Las enfermedades cardiovasculares constituyen la causa más común de mortalidad en el mundo. Actualmente, la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) representa uno de los principales factores de riesgo de eventos adversos cardiovasculares mayores. Los pacientes que las padecen tienen un riesgo cuatro veces mayor de desarrollar insuficiencia cardíaca y una mortalidad de 10 a 12 veces mayor. La ecocardiografía en todas sus modalidades es la mejor herramienta clínica para el diagnóstico de la insuficiencia cardíaca, ya que proporciona imágenes estáticas y dinámicas del corazón que permiten identificar cambios estructurales y funcionales, como alteraciones en las presiones, cambios de flujo, fracción de expulsión del ventrículo izquierdo y remodelación anatómica de las superficies miocárdicas.


Abstract Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of mortality in the world. Currently, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the main risk factors for major adverse cardiovascular events. T2DM patients have a four-fold higher risk of developing heart failure and 10 to 12 times higher mortality. Echocardiography in all its modalities is the best clinical tool for heart failure diagnosis, since it provides static and dynamic images of the heart that allow to identify structural and functional changes, such as pressure variations, flow changes, left ventricular ejection fraction and myocardial surfaces anatomical remodeling.

RESUMO

Resumen La cardiomiopatía diabética es una complicación grave de la diabetes causada por estrés oxidativo, inflamación, resistencia a la insulina, fibrosis miocárdica y lipotoxicidad. Se trata de un padecimiento insidioso, complejo y difícil de tratar. El inflamasoma NLRP3 desencadena la maduración y liberación de citoquinas proinflamatorias, participa en procesos fisiopatológicos como la resistencia a la insulina y la fibrosis miocárdica, además de estar estrechamente relacionado con la aparición y progresión de la cardiomiopatía diabética. El desarrollo de inhibidores dirigidos a aspectos específicos de la inflamación sugiere que el inflamasoma NLRP3 puede utilizarse para tratar la cardiomiopatía diabética. Este artículo pretende resumir el mecanismo y las dianas terapéuticas del inflamasoma NLRP3 en la cardiomiopatía diabética, así como aportar nuevas sugerencias para el tratamiento de esta enfermedad.


Abstract Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a serious complication of diabetes caused by oxidative stress, inflammation, insulin resistance, myocardial fibrosis, and lipotoxicity; its nature is insidious, complex and difficult to treat. NLRP3 inflammasome triggers the maturation and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, participates in pathophysiological processes such as insulin resistance and myocardial fibrosis, in addition to being closely related to the development and progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy. The development of inhibitors targeting specific aspects of inflammation suggests that NLRP3 inflammasome can be used to treat diabetic cardiomyopathy. This paper aims to summarize NLRP3 inflammasome mechanism and therapeutic targets in diabetic cardiomyopathy, and to provide new suggestions for the treatment of this disease.

RESUMO

【Objective】 To explore the differential expression and functional analysis of circRNA from myocardial mitochondria in diabetes cardiomyopathy (DCM) mice. 【Methods】 The DCM mice model was established in 16-week-old db/db mice, and C57BL/KsJ mice were used as controls. RNA was extracted from the myocardium of two groups of mice, high-throughput sequencing was used to screen mitochondrial circRNA differentially expressed in the two groups, RT-qPCR was used to verify the sequencing results of the first 10 circRNAs with significant differential expression, and functional enrichment analysis was performed on the differentially expressed circRNA target genes, and miRNA target prediction software was used to analyze the circRNA-miRNA co-expression network. 【Results】 There were 147 mitochondrial circRNAs differentially expressed in the myocardium of DCM mice, including 89 highly expressed and 58 low expressed. The expression pattern of differentially expressed circRNAs in tissues was consistent with those of sequencing results. The enrichment analysis of GO and KEGG showed that the differentially expressed circRNA target genes were mainly enriched in cGMP/PKG, glucagon pathways, which were related to mitochondrial energy metabolism and cardiac hypertrophy. circRNA-miRNA co-expression analysis found that the most significantly up-regulated circRNA, chrM:1207-1536+, was associated with miR-491-3p, miR-99a-3p, and miR-99b-3p, and the most significantly down-regulated circRNA, chrM:1453-3205+, was associated with miR-181b-1-3p, miR-181b-2-3p, and miR-672-5p. 【Conclusion】 Compared to the control mice, there is differential expression of circRNAs in myocardial mitochondria of DCM mice. The differentially expressed circRNAs may interact with the corresponding miRNA to affect myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy through regulation of energy metabolism, apoptosis and other pathways, thus participating in the pathogenesis of DCM.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide on the apoptosis of cardiomyocytes in diabetic KK-Ay mice. METHODS KK-Ay mice were randomly divided into model group, metformin group (200 mg/kg) and A. sinensis polysaccharide high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose groups (400, 200 and 100 mg/kg); C57BL/6J mice were included in blank group, with 8 mice in each group. Each group was given relevant medicine intragastrically or normal saline, once a day, for consecutive 4 weeks. After the final administration, the levels of fasting glucose, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and insulin (INS) were detected; the protein expressions of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), cleaved- caspase-3, apoptosis signal-regulated kinase 1 (ASK1), phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK), phosphorylated inositol- requiring enzyme 1α (p-IRE1α) in myocardium, and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes were also detected. RESULTS Compared with model group, the fasting glucose, TC and LDL-C content, apoptotic rate of cardiomyocyte, protein expressions of p-JNK and p- IRE1α, ASK1, cleaved-caspase-3 were significantly lower in the metformin group and A. sinensis polysaccharide medium-dose, high-dose groups; INS level and relative expression of Bcl-2 protein were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS A. sinensis polysaccharide can improve the levels of blood glucose and blood lipid and inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis in diabetic KK-Ay mice, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of IRE1/ASK1/JNK signaling pathway.

RESUMO

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the complications of diabetes. It refers to a specific type of idiopathic cardiomyopathy that occurs in individuals with diabetes, distinct from other cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, valvular heart disease, or congenital heart disease. It has also been identified as one of the leading causes of death in diabetic patients for many years. Research has shown that the pathogenesis of DCM is closely associated with insulin resistance, activation of various inflammatory responses, increased oxidative stress, impaired coronary microcirculation, and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Among various inflammatory responses, the activation of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome can induce the secretion of a large amount of pro-inflammatory cytokines through the cascade reaction of inflammation, subsequently mediating cellular pyroptosis and promoting myocardial damage. Currently, extensive experimental studies on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) have been conducted in China and abroad based on the significant role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in the prevention and treatment of DCM. These studies have demonstrated that Chinese medicinal extracts, such as Astragalus polysaccharide and ginsenoside Rb1, single drugs like Coriolus and Cordyceps, and Chinese medicinal formulas like Didangtang and modified Taohe Chengqitang, as well as acupuncture and TCM exercise therapy, can regulate the relevant pathways of the NLRP3 inflammasome to inhibit its assembly or activation, reduce inflammatory responses, inhibit myocardial remodeling in DCM, and improve cardiac function. This article reviewed the relationship between the NLRP3 inflammasome and DCM, as well as the research progress on TCM in exerting anti-inflammatory effects in this field, aiming to provide new insights for the development of therapeutic approaches for DCM.

RESUMO

Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent intracellular degradation process,and it is a key mechanism of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Autophagy has dual regulatory effects on DCM. Under physiological conditions,normal autophagy can promote the decomposition of damaged cardiomyocytes and metabolites,so as to reduce the damage of harmful substances to the body and provide energy for cardiomyocytes. Under pathological conditions,the inhibited autophagy of cardiomyocytes will cause the accumulation of damaged cells and metabolites,which will cause damage to cardiomyocytes and eventually aggravate cardiac dysfunction in the patients with DCM. However,the over autophagy of cardiomyocytes will lead to autophagic death of a large number of cardiomyocytes and result in pathological myocardial remodeling and cardiac dysfunction,thus promoting the progression of DCM. Therefore,the restoration of a normal autophagy level is the key means to protect cardiomyocytes and improve the prognosis of DCM. Chinese medicine can regulate autophagy to treat DCM. Specifically,it can promote autophagy (making up for deficiency) or inhibit autophagy (removing excess) to restore the balance of autophagy,thereby alleviating DCM.

RESUMO

Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a myocardial complication associated with abnormal glucose metabolism and dyslipidiaemia, which increases the risk of death and heart failure in diabetic patients. Mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in the occurrence and development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Recent studies have confirmed that scavenging damaged mitochondria in cardiomyocytes through mitophagy can restore mitochondrial homeostasis, reduce oxidative stress and improve diabetic cardiomyopathy. Therefore, this article provides a comprehensive review of the mechanisms and characteristics of mitochondrial autophagy in diabetic cardiomyopathy. It aims to offer new insights and theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

RESUMO

As a cardiovascular complication of diabetes, diabetic cardiomyopathy seriously affects the prognosis of patients with diabetes. The incidence and mortality of diabetic cardiomyopathy increase, and has emerged as a research hotspot in current years. The pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy is complex, involving a range of signaling pathways in its incidence and development. Nuclear factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), as a powerful antioxidant gene, enhances the capacity of the myocardium to withstand oxidative stress via interplay with different signaling elements and exerts anti-inflammatory response, anti-myocardial fibrosis, and anti-apoptosis effects. Researches have shown that certain ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine can alleviate the myocardial injury by affecting the relationship of Nrf2 with other signaling factors via enhancing the expression of Nrf2. Here we review the role of Nrf2 and therapy of traditional Chinese medicine in diabetic cardiomyopathy in hope of providing referential idea for the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy. A reference for the prevention and therapy of diabetic cardiomyopathy.

RESUMO

Aim To investigate the protective effect of naringin ( NA) on diabetic cardiomyopathy by activating the large conduction Ca2+ activated K4 channels (Maxi K ).Methods SD rats were fed with high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of strepto- zotocin (STZ) to establish a diabetic rat model.Then the rats were randomly divided into model group ( DCM) , naringin group ( NA) and naringin + Maxi K-specific inhibitor group ( NA + PAX) , with 8 rats in each group.Hats in treatment group received administration for 12 weeks and blood glucose was monitored regularly during experiments.The changes of cardiac function, morphology and fibrosis were detected after the treatment.The changes of cx and (3 subunits of Maxi K in heart were detected.Results Cardiac ultrasound results showed that NA could partially restore the cardiac function of rats.However, the cardiac protec tive function of NA was significantly reduced in diabetic rats after Maxi K was specifically blocked.Fibrosis analysis showed that the expression of collagen and fi- bronectin in rats could be decreased after NA treatment, which could be partially reversed by PAX.Western blot results showed that the expression of Maxi K a and p-subunit decreased in DCM group, but there was no significant change after NA treatment.Conclusions NA has a cardioprotective effect on diabetic rats by promoting the opening of the Maxi K channel on the membrane surface rather than increasing its expression.

RESUMO

【Objective】 To evaluate the protective effect of siNLRP3-loaded nanosystem on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) via silencing NLRP3 under ultrasound-targeted microbubble blasting (UTMD). 【Methods】 After synthesis of polyethylene glycol polylysine block copolymer (mPEG-b-PLLys), siNLRP3-loaded hetero-assembled nanosystem system (siNLRP3-NBs) was constructed and characterized. Subsequently, a DCM rat model was established to investigate the protective effect of siNLRP3-NBS on the heart. Cardiac function of the rats was observed by small animal ultrasonography. HE and Masson staining were used to observe the degree of myocardial fibrosis change; the protein expression of NLRP3 and cell pyroptosis indexes were detected by Western blotting. 【Results】 1H NMR indicated that the structure of mPEG-b-PLLys was correct. The results of agarose electrophoresis showed that NBs could protect naked siNLRP3 from RNAase degradation, and the particle size and zeta potential of siNLRP3-NBs were (379.7±14.8) nm and (8.73±1.93) mV, respectively. The shape of NBs was almost spherical. siNLRP3-NBs combined with UTMD could enhance the protective effect on cardiac function and improve myocardial fibrosis in DCM rats. Protein expression indicated that UTMD could enhance the inhibitory effect of siNLRP3-NBS on cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. 【Conclusion】 UTMD-mediated ultrasonic response combined nanosystem can enhance the therapeutic effect of siNLRP3 on DCM, suggesting that ultrasonic response siNLRP3-loaded nanosystem is a potentially effective strategy for the treatment of heart disease.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the protective effect of fucoxanthin (FX) against diabetic cardiomyopathy and explore the underlying mechanism.@*METHODS@#Rat models of diabetes mellitus (DM) induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg) were randomized into DM model group, fucoxanthin treatment (DM+FX) group and metformin treatment (DM+ Met) group, and normal rats with normal feeding served as the control group. In the two treatment groups, fucoxanthin and metformin were administered after modeling by gavage at the daily dose of 200 mg/kg and 230 mg/kg, respectively for 12 weeks, and the rats in the DM model group were given saline only. HE staining was used to examine the area of cardiac myocyte hypertrophy in each group. The expression levels of fibrotic proteins TGF-β1 and FN proteins in rat hearts were detected with Western blotting. In the cell experiment, the effect of 1 μmol/L FX on H9C2 cell hypertrophy induced by exposure to high glucose (HG, 45 mmol/L) was evaluated using FITC-labeled phalloidin. The mRNA expression levels of the hypertrophic factors ANP, BNP and β-MHC in H9C2 cells were detected using qRT-PCR. The protein expressions of Nrf2, Keap1, HO-1 and SOD1 proteins in rat heart tissues and H9C2 cells were determined using Western blotting. The DCFH-DA probe was used to detect the intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).@*RESULTS@#In the diabetic rats, fucoxanthin treatment obviously alleviated cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis, increased the protein expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1, and decreased the protein expressions of Keap1 in the heart tissue (P < 0.05). In H9C2 cells with HG exposure, fucoxanthin significantly inhibited the enlargement of cell surface area, lowered the mRNA expression levels of ANP, BNP and β-MHC (P < 0.05), promoted Nrf2 translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, and up-regulated the protein expressions its downstream targets SOD1 and HO-1 (P < 0.05) to enhance cellular antioxidant capacity and reduce intracellular ROS production.@*CONCLUSION@#Fucoxanthin possesses strong inhibitory activities against diabetic cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis and is capable of up-regulating Nrf2 signaling to promote the expression of its downstream antioxidant proteins SOD1 and HO-1 to reduce the level of ROS.

RESUMO

Herein, we define the role of ferroptosis in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) by examining the expression of key regulators of ferroptosis in mice with DCM and a new ex vivo DCM model. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), an important pathogenic factor of DCM, were found to induce ferroptosis in engineered cardiac tissues (ECTs), as reflected through increased levels of Ptgs2 and lipid peroxides and decreased ferritin and SLC7A11 levels. Typical morphological changes of ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes were observed using transmission electron microscopy. Inhibition of ferroptosis with ferrostatin-1 and deferoxamine prevented AGE-induced ECT remodeling and dysfunction. Ferroptosis was also evidenced in the heart of type 2 diabetic mice with DCM. Inhibition of ferroptosis by liproxstatin-1 prevented the development of diastolic dysfunction at 3 months after the onset of diabetes. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) activated by sulforaphane inhibited cardiac cell ferroptosis in both AGE-treated ECTs and hearts of DCM mice by upregulating ferritin and SLC7A11 levels. The protective effect of sulforaphane on ferroptosis was AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-dependent. These findings suggest that ferroptosis plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of DCM; sulforaphane prevents ferroptosis and associated pathogenesis via AMPK-mediated NRF2 activation. This suggests a feasible therapeutic approach with sulforaphane to clinically prevent ferroptosis and DCM.

RESUMO

Diabetic mellitus (DM) is a common degenerative chronic metabolic disease often accompanied by severe cardiovascular complications (DCCs) as major causes of death in diabetic patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) as the most common DCC. The metabolic disturbance in DCM generates the conditions/substrates and inducers/triggers and activates the signaling molecules and death executioners leading to cardiomyocyte death which accelerates the development of DCM and the degeneration of DCM to heart failure. Various forms of programmed active cell death including apoptosis, pyroptosis, autophagic cell death, autosis, necroptosis, ferroptosis and entosis have been identified and characterized in many types of cardiac disease. Evidence has also been obtained for the presence of multiple forms of cell death in DCM. Most importantly, published animal experiments have demonstrated that suppression of cardiomyocyte death of any forms yields tremendous protective effects on DCM. Herein, we provide the most updated data on the subject of cell death in DCM, critical analysis of published results focusing on the pathophysiological roles of cell death, and pertinent perspectives of future studies.

RESUMO

Cardiovascular diseases account for approximately 80% of deaths among individuals with diabetes mellitus, with diabetic cardiomyopathy as the major diabetic cardiovascular complication. Hyperglycemia is a symptom that abnormally activates multiple downstream pathways and contributes to cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, apoptosis, and other pathophysiological changes. Although glycemic control has long been at the center of diabetes therapy, multicenter randomized clinical studies have revealed that intensive glycemic control fails to reduce heart failure-associated hospitalization and mortality in patients with diabetes. This finding indicates that hyperglycemic stress persists in the cardiovascular system of patients with diabetes even if blood glucose level is tightly controlled to the normal level. This process is now referred to as hyperglycemic memory (HGM) phenomenon. We briefly reviewed herein the current advances that have been achieved in research on the underlying mechanisms of HGM in diabetic cardiomyopathy.
