Given the importance of aggregation advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and cardiac inflammation in onset progression diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), our objective this study was to demonstrate cardioprotective effect mangiferin, an antidiabetic anti-inflammatory agent, on rat model. The DCM model established by a high-fat diet low dose streptozotocin. rats were treated orally with mangiferin (20 mg/kg) for 16 weeks. Serum left ventricular myocardium collected determination inflammatory...

Increasing evidence has demonstrated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) induces oxidative stress and plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP). Hydrogen-rich saline (HRS), well-known ROS scavenger, been shown to possess therapeutic benefit on AP many animal experiments. Recent findings have indicated NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, an intracellular multiprotein complex required for maturation interleukin- (IL-) 1β, may...

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the most common complications diabetes without effective treatment options. Its pathogenesis complex and remains unclear. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) MIAT allele has been reported to be enriched in DCM patients activate a pyroptosis program hypoxia-induced H9c2 cells. Thus, whether played role clarified. In study, expression was found elevated serum diabetic patients, as well high-glucose induced cardiomyocytes mice. Further, levels CASP1 correlation...

Abstract RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are a class of that primarily function by interacting with different types RNAs and play critical role in regulating the transcription translation cancer-related genes. However, their progression hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed RNA sequencing data corresponding clinical information patients HCC to screen for prognostic RBPs. Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) was identified as an...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the cardioprotective effect mangiferin on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM model induced by a high-fat diet and low dose streptozotocin. We evaluated characteristics serial echocardiography, electron microscopy, histopathologic analysis cardiomyocyte fibrosis area, Western blot matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) MMP-9 expression. Rats with showed severe left ventricular dysfunction cardiac fibrosis. Mangiferin mitigated prevented accumulation...

Mangiferin functions as a perfect anti-oxidative compound in the diabetic heart, however, exact mechanism remains to be elucidated. Here, we show cardioprotective effect of mangiferin under high glucose-induced cardiotoxic condition mainly contributed enhanced autophagy via suppressing mTORC1 downstream signal transduction. Primary neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were cultured detect myocytes injury, autophagy, and related transduction different doses glucose treatment. High (30 mM) reduced...

Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), an important human causative pathogen for viral myocarditis, pancreatitis, and meningitis, has evolved different strategies to manipulate the host signaling machinery ensure successful infection. We previously revealed a crucial role ERK1/2 pathway in regulating infectivity. However, detail mechanism remains largely unknown. Grb2-associated binder 1 (GAB1) is docking protein responsible intracellular assembly transduction. In this study, we demonstrated that GAB1...
