Abstract Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a common cause of acute kidney (AKI). The role N 6- methyladenosine (m6A) modification in AKI remains unclear. Here, we characterize the AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5) and m6A an I/R-induced renal model male mice. Alkbh5 -knockout mice exhibit milder pathological damage better function than wild-type post-IRI, whereas -knockin show contrary results. Also conditional knockout tubular epithelial cells alleviates fibrosis. CCL28 identified as target...

Doxorubicin is an effective chemotherapy drug for treating various types of cancer. However, lethal cardiotoxicity severely limits its clinical use. Recent evidence has indicated that aberrant activation the cytosolic DNA-sensing cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase (cGAS)-STING (stimulator interferon genes) pathway plays a critical role in cardiovascular destruction. Here, we investigate involvement this mechanism doxorubicin-induced (DIC). Mice were treated with...

It is known that mitochondrial dysfunction a critical factor involved in myocardial ischemia–reperfusion injury. Mitochondrial transplantation has been suggested as an effective therapeutic strategy to protect against However, its clinical translation remains limited because it requires the local injection of mitochondria into myocardium. Here, polypeptide, CSTSMLKAC (PEP), bound triphenylphosphonium cations (TPP+) effectively binds form PEP–TPP–mitochondrial compound. Further investigation...

Abstract Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease mainly involving the colon and rectum, which features recurrent mucosal inflammation. The excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) trigger for pathological changes such as cell apoptosis disordered immune microenvironments, are crucial progression UC can be promising therapeutic target. Nowadays, development targeted strategies still in its infancy. Thus, developing effective therapies based on ROS...

Abstract The role of M1 macrophages (M1M)-derived exosomes in the progression neointimal hyperplasia remains unclear now. Using a transwell co-culture system, we demonstrated that M1M contributed to functional change vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC). We further stimulated VSMCs with isolated from M1M. Our results these could be taken up by through macropinocytosis. microRNA array assay, identified miR-222 originated M1M-derived triggered changes VSMCs. In addition, confirmed played key...

Mitochondrial damage is a critical driver in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and can be alleviated via the mitochondrial transplantation. The efficiency of transplantation determined by vitality. Because aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) has key role regulating homeostasis, we aimed to investigate its potential therapeutic effects on use ALDH2 activator, Alda-1. Our present study demonstrated that time-dependent internalization exogenous mitochondria cardiomyocytes along with ATP...

Abstract Cardiomyocyte pyroptosis and apoptosis play a vital role in the pathophysiology of several cardiovascular diseases. Our recent study revealed that gasdermin D (GSDMD) can promote myocardial I/R injury via caspase-11/GSDMD pathway. We also found GSDMD deletion attenuated MI by reducing cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. However, how mediates protects function remains unclear. Here, we doxorubicin (DOX) treatment resulted increased cardiomyocytes could mediate DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC)...

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation produces a marked effect on cardiovascular diseases. The m6A demethylase AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5), as an "eraser", is responsible for decreased modification. However, its role in cardiac fibroblasts during the post-myocardial infarction (MI) healing process remains elusive.

BACKGROUND: Senescent foamy macrophages are key drivers of atherosclerosis and plaque instability. N 6 -methyladenosine (m A) modification RNA plays an important role in the development various diseases including aging. Here, we aim to investigate m A formation senescent atherosclerosis. METHODS: To assess methylation, were isolated from atherosclerotic plaques patients with atherosclerosis, Apoe −/− mice fed a high-fat diet using CD68 + magnetic beads. An ALKBH5 (alkB homolog 5) f/f , Lyz2...
