The present study investigates the potential signal pathway of acacetin in cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion injury using an vitro hypoxia/reoxygenation model primary cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and H9C2 cardiomyoblasts. It was found that (0.3-3 uM) significantly decreased apoptosis ROS production induced by cardiomyoblasts via reducing pro-apoptotic proteins Bax cleaved-caspase-3 increasing anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. In addition, not only suppressed release...
Cardiac senescence is associated with cardiomyopathy which a degenerative disease in the aging process of elderly. The present study investigates using multiple experimental approaches whether natural flavone acacetin could attenuate myocardial C57/BL6 mice and H9C2 rat cardiac cells induced by D-galactose. We found that impaired heart function D-galactose-induced accelerated was improved oral treatment dose-dependent manner. Acacetin significantly countered increased serum advanced...
Diabetic cardiomyopathy seriously affects the life quality of diabetic patients and can lead to heart failure death in severe cases. Acacetin was reported be an anti-oxidant anti-inflammatory agent several cardiovascular diseases. However, effect acacetin on not understood. This study designed explore therapeutic potential mechanism with vitro vivo experimental techniques. In cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes H9C2 cardiac cells, (0.3, 1, 3 μM) showed effective protection against high...
Acacetin is a natural source of flavonoids with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.This study determines acacetin's protective effect mechanism on myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury.Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham I/R injury treatment acacetin. (10 mg/kg) was subcutaneously injected for 7 days. ECG echocardiography conducted to determine arrhythmia heart function. The pathological characters the determined triphenyl tetrazolium chloride staining, Haematoxylin &...
Abstract Dysregulated angiogenesis leads to neovascularization, which can promote or exacerbate various diseases. Previous studies have proved that NEDD4L plays an important role in hypertension and atherosclerosis. Hence, we hypothesized may be a critical regulator of endothelial cell (EC) function. This study aimed define the regulating EC elucidate their underlying mechanisms. Loss‐ gain‐of‐function detected mobility human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs) using Matrigel tube formation assay,...
Abstract Oxidative stress has a considerable influence on endothelial cell dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Acacetin, an anti‐inflammatory antiarrhythmic, is frequently used in the treatment of myocarditis, albeit its role managing atherosclerosis currently unclear. Thus, we evaluated regulatory effects acacetin maintaining function further investigated whether flavonoid could attenuate apolipoprotein E deficiency (apoE −/− ) mice. Different concentrations were tested EA.hy926 cells, either...
Doxorubicin cardiotoxicity is frequently reported in patients undergoing chemotherapy. The present study investigates whether cardiomyopathy induced by doxorubicin can be improved the natural flavone acacetin a mouse model and uncovers potential molecular mechanism using cultured rat cardiomyoblasts. It was found that cardiac dysfunction myocardial fibrosis were significantly mice with impaired Nrf2/HO-1 Sirt1/pAMPK molecules, which reversed treatment. decreased cell viability increased ROS...
Abstract Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes heart failure with highly complicated pathogeneses. miR-654-3p has been recognized as a pivotal regulator controlling cell survival. However, function in cardiomyocytes and MI yet to be reported. This study aimed identify role regulation myocardial infarction. To understand contribution on function, we generated cardiac-specific knockdown overexpression mice using AAV9 technology injury. Mechanically, combined cellular...
Abstract Background Angiogenesis is critical for forming new blood vessels from antedating vascular vessels. The endothelium essential angiogenesis, remodelling and minimisation of functional deficits following ischaemia. insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) family crucial angiogenesis. Insulin‐like factor‐binding protein 5 (IGFBP5), a binding the IGF family, may have places in but mechanisms are not yet completely understood. We sought to probe whether IGFBP5 involved pathological angiogenesis...
Aim: To explore circulating miRNA-302 family members for acute heart failure (AHF) diagnosis. Methods: Three groups of subjects, in other words, AHF patients, free patients and healthy controls were recruited. Circulating levels miR-302 measured analyzed Results: Plasma miR-302s except miR-302f significantly elevated patients. MiR-302b-3p had the highest area under curve value 0.87. There strong positive correlations between NT-proBNP levels. higher left ventricular ejection fraction ≤45%...
MiR-30a-5p plays an important role in various cardiovascular diseases, but its effect atherosclerosis has not been reported. Apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apo E-/-) mice were used to investigate the of miR-30a-5p atherosclerosis, and underlying mechanism was investigated vivo vitro. The fluorescence situ hybridization test revealed that expressed Apo E-/- lesions. Nevertheless, RAW264.7 macrophages, expression reduced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or oxidized low-density lipoprotein....
