Background: Heart failure (HF) is an epidemic disease with increased incidence annually. It has been reported that taurine can improve cardiac function. This study investigated the cardioprotective effects of taurine in pressure-loaded HF mice and elucidated the possible mechanism. Methods: HF models were established by transverse aortic constriction (TAC). Animals were treated with either taurine for 9 weeks and/or the SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 (5 mg/kg/day, every 2days) after TAC operation. Cardiac function and geometry were revealed by echocardiography. Myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis were assessed using Fluorescent wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining and Masson's trichrome staining. Western blot and RTPCR were performed to elucidate the expression of target proteins and genes respectively. Apoptosis in cardiomyocytes was detected by TUNEL staining. Myocardial oxidative stress was assessed by detecting the concentration of myocardial super oxidative dismutase (SOD) and malonyldialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Taurine concentrations and NAD+/NADH ratio were determined by taurine and NAD+/NADH assay kit. Results: Taurine notably relieved cardiac dysfunction after TAC. The mechanisms were attributed to reduced myocyte hypertrophy and fibrosis, and alleviated apoptosis and oxidative stress. Meanwhile, taurine increased NAD+/NADH ratio,promoted the expression of SIRT1 and suppressed p53 acetylation. However, EX-527(in-hibitor of SIRT1) decreased NAD+/NADH ratio and increased acetyl-p53 levels, and abolished the cardioprotective effects of taurine on mice subjected to TAC and increased apoptosis and oxidative stress. Conclusion: The mechanism responsible for cardiac-protective effects of taurine in HF induced by pressure overload is associated with the activation of the SIRT1-p53 pathway.
Bakuchiol (BAK), a monoterpene phenol reported to have exerted a variety of pharmacological effects, has been related to multiple diseases, including myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury, pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy, diabetes, liver fibrosis, and cancer. However, the effects of BAK on hyperglycemia-caused diabetic cardiomyopathy and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, streptozotocin-induced mouse model and high-glucose-treated cell model were conducted to investigate the protective roles of BAK on diabetic cardiomyopathy, in either the presence or absence of SIRT1-specific inhibitor EX527, SIRT1 siRNA, or Nrf2 siRNA. Our data demonstrated for the first time that BAK could significantly abate diabetic cardiomyopathy by alleviating the cardiac dysfunction, ameliorating the myocardial fibrosis, mitigating the cardiac hypertrophy, and reducing the cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Furthermore, BAK achieved its antifibrotic and antihypertrophic actions by inhibiting the TGF-β1/Smad3 pathway, as well as decreasing the expressions of fibrosis- and hypertrophy-related markers. Intriguingly, these above effects of BAK were largely attributed to the remarkable activation of SIRT1/Nrf2 signaling, which eventually strengthened cardiac antioxidative capacity by elevating the antioxidant production and reducing the reactive oxygen species generation. However, all the beneficial results were markedly abolished with the administration of EX527, SIRT1 siRNA, or Nrf2 siRNA. In summary, these novel findings indicate that BAK exhibits its therapeutic properties against hyperglycemia-caused diabetic cardiomyopathy by attenuating myocardial oxidative damage via activating the SIRT1/Nrf2 signaling.

Hyperhomocysteinemia induces stress response in endoplasmic reticulum (ERS). Here, we tested whether blockage of homocysteine (Hcy) induced ERS and subsequent apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells can be inhibited by blockage of PERK/eIF2α/ATF4/CHOP signaling. Short-term exposure of vascular smooth muscle cells to Hcy led to the phosphorylation of PERK (pPERK), which in turn, phosphorylated eIF2 alpha (peIF2a) and inhibited the unfolded protein response. Long-term Hcy exposure, however, increased the expression of ATF-4 and CHOP and led to apoptosis. Treatment of cells with salubrinal, a specific inhibitor for eIF2a decreased the expression of ATF-4 and CHOP, and prevented apoptosis. Together, the results show that PERK pathway is involved in Hcy-induced vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis and that blocking the PERK pathway protects against this injury.

ObjectiveAdropin, a newly identified regulatory protein encoded by Enho gene, suppressed tumor necrosis factor α‐induced THP1 monocyte adhesion to human umbilical vein endothelial cells. In addition, inflammation is demonstrated to be involved in the mechanism of atrial fibrillation (AF). Atrial remodeling is correlated with the persistence and progression of AF. Adropin is hypothesized to correlated with AF and atrial remodeling. This study aims to determine the correlation of serum adropin and the presence of AF and remodeling.MethodsThis study consisted of 344 AF patients and 210 healthy controls. AF patients were then divided into three subgroups of paroxysmal AF, persistent AF, and permanent AF. Serum adropin concentrations were examined using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay method. Left atrial diameter (LAD) was measured to evaluate atrial remodeling.ResultsDecreased serum adropin concentrations were found in AF patients compared with healthy controls. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that serum adropin was inversely associated with the presence of AF (OR 0.218, 95% CI 0.15‐0.316; P < 0.001). Permanent AF patients had significantly reduced serum adropin concentrations compared with persistent and paroxysmal AF patients. There were decreased serum adropin concentrations in persistent AF group than those in paroxysmal AF group. Simple linear regression analyses showed that serum adropin in AF patients were negatively correlated with BMI, SBP, and LAD. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that LAD remained to be inversely associated with serum adropin (β = 0.2, P = 0.010).ConclusionSerum adropin concentrations are inversely correlated with the presence of AF and atrial remodeling.

[Objective] To explore the prognostic value of serum sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) in short-term follow-up (3 months) of inpatients with heart failure.[Methods] A total of 86 inpatients with heart failure from December 2015 to December 2016 in our hospital were selected as the subjects.They were followed up for 3 months and the follow-up rate was 100%.According to the prognosis of the patients,they were divided into two groups:poor prognosis group (n=41) and good prognosis group (n=45).The serum levels of SIRT1 were compared between the two groups at admission and after 3 months of follow-up,and the predictive value of serum SIRT1 level in the short-term follow-up of patients with heart failure was analyzed.[Results] (1) Compared with the good prognosis group,the serum SIRT1 level was significantly decreased in the poor prognosis group (P<0.05),and the level of left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) was significantly decreased (P<0.05).(2) At admission,the serum SIRT1 level in the good prognosis group was significantly higher than that in the poor prognosis group (P<0.05).Compared with those at admission,serum SIRT1 levels in the poor and good prognosis groups after 3 months of treatment were significantly increased (P<0.05),and the serum SIRT1 level in the good prognosis group was significantly higher than that in the poor prognosis group (P<0.05).(3) The median of serum SIRT1 level in 86 patients with heart failure was 5.37 ng/ml,which was as the cut-off point.The nurnbers of readmission and death of heart failure in patients with serum SIRT1 level ≥ 5.37 ng/ml were significantly lower than those in patients with serum SIRT1 level <5.37 ng/ml (P<0.05).(4) The results of COX regression analysis showed that serum SIRT1 level and LVEF were the independent risk factors for 3-month follow-up in patients with heart failure.[Conclusion] The lower the level of serum SIRT1,the poorer the prognosis.It is speculated that serum SIRT1 can be used as an effective reference indicator for predicting poor prognosis of heart failure.
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of interventional therapy in pediatric patients with complex congenital heart disease of diminished pulmonary blood flow after palliative surgery.Methods One hundred and forty nine complex congenital heart disease pediatric patients with diminished pulmonary blood flow after palliative surgery were admitted in our hospital from January 2012 to June 2015.All patients received percutaneous balloon pulmonary artery dilatation,the pulmonary transvalvular gradient(PTG),right ventricle systolic pressure(RVSP),pulmonary arterial systolic pressure(PASP),and oxyhemoglobin saturation (SaO2) were measured by right cardiac catheterization before and after the intervention.Patients were followed up for 12 months,pulmonary artery development index (Nakata index,McGoon ratio),SaO2 and PTG were measured by the end of follow-up.Results The interventional procedures underwent smoothly in all 149 patients.There were 3 patients with arrhythmia and 2 patients with fever after operation with a perioperative complication rate of 3.36%.The PTG,RVSP,PASP and SaO2 of patients were significantly improved after operation(P<0.05);Nakata index,McGoon ratio and SaO2 of patients increased significantly at 1,3,6 and 12 months after operation;and PTG of patients was significantly decreased compared with preoperative value (P<0.05).Conclusion Interventional therapy after palliative surgery can reduce postoperative complications,and promote pulmonary vascular development and improve ventricular function effectively for children with complex congenital heart disease of diminished pulmonary blood supply.
Purpose The mean pulmonary artery (MPAP) has been widely used as an important parameter to diagnose and evaluate pulmonary hypertension (PH).The purpose of this paper is to compare the efficacy of two methods in evaluating PH,including estimating pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) using Doppler ultrasonography to measure tricuspid regurgitation (TR) velocity,and directly using the peak velocity of TR.Materiasl and Methods From January 2012 to June 2013,eighty patients with left-to-right shunt congenital heart diseases (CHD) planned for closure procedure in Tangdu Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University and the General Hospital of Shenyang Military region were included in this prospective study,who underwent right heart catheterization to measure pulmonary artery pressure,and underwent Doppler ultrasonography to measure the peak velocity ofTR.Results Using catheter-measured MPAP of≥ 25 mmHg as diagnostic reference,the false positive rate was 62.96%,and the false negative rate 0% when the estimated PASP of >30 mmHg determined by TR method was used to diagnose PH.There was high diagnostic agreement when peak velocity of TR was used to diagnose PH.When 320 cm/s and 340 crn/s were used as diagnostic cutoff values,false positive rates were 14.81% and 7.41%,and false negative rates were 15.91% and 20.45%,respectively.Conclusion In patients with left-to-right shunt CHD,peak velocity of TR measured on echocardiography can be used to diagnose PH which overcomes the high false positive rate in estimation method.It is more suitable to diagnose PH when the MPAP is used as the diagnostic criterion.
