RESUMO

Hypoxic preconditioning (HPC) has been shown to improve organ tolerance to subsequent severe hypoxia or ischemia. However, its impact on intestinal ischemic injury has not been well studied. In this study, we evaluated the effects of HPC on intestinal ischemia in rats. Intestinal rehabilitation, levels of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) by-products, intestinal stem cells (ISCs), levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit α (HIF-1α) and its downstream genes such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (CPT1A) were assessed at distinct time intervals following intestinal ischemia with or without the interference of HIF-1α. Our data showed that HPC facilitates the restoration of the intestinal structure and enhances the FAO, by boosting intestinal stem cells. Additionally, HIF-1α, PPARα, and CPT1A mRNA and their protein levels were generally up-regulated in the small intestine of HPC rats as compared to the control group. Our vitro experiment also shows low-oxygen induces highly levels of HIF-1α and its downstream genes, with a concurrent increase in FAO products in IEC-6 cells. Furthermore, the above phenomenon could be reversed by silencing HIF-1α. In conclusion, we hypothesize that HPC can stimulate the activation of intestinal stem cells via HIF-1α/PPARα pathway-mediated FAO, thereby accelerating the healing process post ischemic intestinal injury.

RESUMO

This study investigates the cardioprotective effects of Paeoniflorin (PF) on left ventricular remodeling following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) under conditions of hypobaric hypoxia. Left ventricular remodeling post-AMI plays a pivotal role in exacerbating heart failure, especially at high altitudes. Using a rat model of AMI, the study aimed to evaluate the cardioprotective potential of PF under hypobaric hypoxia. Ninety male rats were divided into four groups: sham-operated controls under normoxia/hypobaria, an AMI model group, and a PF treatment group. PF was administered for 4 weeks after AMI induction. Left ventricular function was assessed using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Biochemical assays of cuproptosis, oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and fibrosis were performed. Results demonstrated PF significantly improved left ventricular function and remodeling after AMI under hypobaric hypoxia. Mechanistically, PF decreased FDX1/DLAT expression and serum copper while increasing pyruvate. It also attenuated apoptosis, inflammation, and fibrosis by modulating Bcl-2, Bax, NLRP3, and oxidative stress markers. Thus, PF exhibits therapeutic potential for left ventricular remodeling post-AMI at high altitude by inhibiting cuproptosis, inflammation, apoptosis and fibrosis. Further studies are warranted to optimize dosage and duration and elucidate PF's mechanisms of action.
