The upregulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a primary cause cardiomyocyte apoptosis in diabetes cardiomyopathy (DCM). Mitofusin-2 (Mfn-2) key protein that bridges the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)-mediated cardioprotection related to antioxidant effects. present study demonstrated H2S inhibited interaction between ER mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.

Background and Purpose Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) plays important roles as a gasotransmitter in pathologies. Increased expression of the E3 ubiquitin ligase, muscle RING finger‐1 (MuRF1), may be involved diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract: The calcium‐sensing receptor (CaR) is a G protein‐coupled receptor. CaR stimulation elicits phospholipase C‐mediated inositol triphosphate formation, leading to an elevation in the level of intracellular calcium released from endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Depletion ER Ca 2+ leads stress, which thought induce apoptosis. Intracellular overload‐induced apoptosis cardiac myocytes during hypoxia–reoxygenation (H/Re) has been demonstrated. However, links between CaR, stress and H/Re are...
