Rapid over-activation of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) upon stress leads to cardiac inflammation, a prevailing factor that underlies heart injury. However, mechanisms by which acute β-AR stimulation induce inflammation still remain unknown. Here, we set out identify the crucial role inflammasome/interleukin (IL)-18 in initiating and maintaining inflammatory cascades insult.Male C57BL/6 mice were injected with single dose agonist, isoproterenol (ISO, 5 mg/kg body weight) or saline...
Aims To evaluate the performance of chat generative pretrained transformer (ChatGPT) in key domains clinical pharmacy practice, including prescription review, patient medication education, adverse drug reaction (ADR) recognition, ADR causality assessment and counselling. Methods Questions pharmacist's answers were collected from real cases pharmacist competency assessment. ChatGPT's responses generated by inputting same question into ‘New Chat’ box ChatGPT Mar 23 Version. Five licensed...
Currently, various calculation methods for evaluating blood-loss in patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are applied clinical practice. However, different may yield results. The purpose of this study was to determine the most reliable method calculating after primary TKA. We compared 245 who underwent unilateral TKA from February 2010 August 2011. calculated using four methods: Gross equation, hemoglobin (Hb) balance, Orthopedic Surgery Transfusion Hemoglobin European Overview...
Abstract Membrane nanotubes (MNTs) act as “highways” between cells to facilitate the transfer of multiple signals and play an important role in many diseases. Our previous work reported on mitochondria via MNTs cardiomyocytes (CMs) cardiac myofibroblasts (MFs); however, elucidation underlying mechanism pathophysiological significance this requires additional study. In study, we determined that mean movement velocity CMs MFs was approximately 17.5 ± 2.1 nm/s. Meanwhile, treatment with...
Heart failure (HF), which is the terminal stage of many cardiovascular diseases, associated with low survival rates and a severe financial burden. The mechanisms, especially molecular mechanism combined new theories, underlying pathogenesis HF remain elusive. We demonstrate that phosphorylation-regulated dynamic liquid-liquid phase separation HIP-55 (hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1-interacting protein 55 kDa) protects against HF. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching assay,...
The action of β-adrenergic receptors (β-ARs) induces cardiac fibroblast (CF) proliferation and collagen synthesis is a major source the fibrosis caused by various diseases. Recently, microRNA-214 (miR-214) was found to play an important role in pathogenesis remodelling. In present study, we examined underlying mechanism miR-214 isoproterenol (ISO, β-AR agonist)-induced CF synthesis. expression increased both ISO-mediated fibrotic heart tissue fibroblasts. Downregulation antagonists...
Regular exercise can protect the heart against external stimuli, but mechanism is not well understood. We determined role of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in regulating swimming exercise-mediated cardiac protection β-adrenergic receptor overstimulation with isoproterenol (ISO) mice. Ten-week-old AMPKα2+/+ and AMPKα2-knockout (AMPKα2-/-) littermates were subjected to 4 weeks training (50 min daily, 6 days a week) or housed under sedentary conditions. The mice...
Abstract Ischemic heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Myocardial infarction (MI) results in cardiac damage due to cell and insufficient cardiomyocyte self-renewal. Ferroptosis, novel type death, has recently been shown as key after MI. However, the complicated regulation mechanisms involved ferroptosis, especially how ferroptosis integrated into classical survival/death pathways, are still unclear. Here, we discovered that HIP-55, adaptor protein, acts hub protein for...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by synovial fibroblast hyperplasia and bone erosion. Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) play pivotal role in RA pathogenesis through aggressive migration matrix invasion, certain proinflammatory cytokines may affect synoviocyte invasion. Whether interleukin (IL)-21 influences this process remains controversial. Here, we evaluated the potential regulatory effect of IL-21 on migration, invasion metalloproteinase (MMP)...
Danshensu, the effective ingredient of plant Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), has been widely used for treatment cardiovascular diseases. Cardiac fibrosis is an important process in pathological cardiac remodeling and leads to heart failure. We investigated effect Danshensu on β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR)-mediated involved signaling transduction. inhibited cardiofibroblast proliferation collagen I synthesis induced by isoproterenol (ISO), a selective β-AR agonist. Phosphorylation p38...
Cardiac fibrosis is a common feature of advanced coronary heart disease and characteristic disease. However, currently available drugs against cardiac are still very limited. Here, we have assessed the role isopropyl 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-hydroxylpropanoate (IDHP), new metabolite Danshen Dripping Pills, in mediated by β-adrenoceptor agonist, isoprenaline, its underlying mechanisms.Identification IDHP was identified mass spectrometry, proton carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra....

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE IL-6 plays crucial roles in cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis and heart failure. Activation of β-adrenoceptors induced production neonatal mouse fibroblasts (NMCFs) through a G(s) /adenylate cyclase/cAMP/p38 MAPK pathway but independent PKA. However, how cAMP activates p38 is still not defined. In this study, we have assessed the role exchange protein directly activated by (Epac) PKCδ activation stimulated β-adrenoceptor agonist isoprenaline NMCFs. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH...
Early identification for heart failure (HF) may be useful disease modifying treatment in order to reduce progression or even reverse it. In our previous studies, we have revealed a group of heat shock proteins (HSPs) which might related neonatal rat cardiomyocyte hypertrophy by proteomic approach. Here, confirm that HSPs, including HSP27 and HSP70, altered the early stage cardiac remodeling vivo animal model. Furthermore, plasma concentrations those HSPs their potential screening value were...
