Abstract Statins play a major role in reducing circulating cholesterol levels and are widely used to prevent coronary artery disease. Although they recently confirmed up-regulate mitophagy, little is known about the molecular mechanisms its effect on endothelial progenitor cell (EPC). Here, we explore mechanism underlying statin (pitavastatin, PTV)-activated mitophagy EPC proliferation. ApoE −/− mice fed high-fat diet for 8 weeks induce atherosclerosis. In these mice, proliferation decreases...

Hypobaric hypoxia (HH) is the primary challenge at highland. Prolonged HH exposure impairs right cardiac function. Mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM) plays a principal role in regulating mitochondrial function under hypoxia, but mechanism was unclear. In this study, proteomics analysis identified that PACS2, key protein MAM, and mitophagy were downregulated HH. Metabolomics indicated suppression of glucose fatty acids aerobic oxidation conditions. Cardiomyocyte Pacs2 deficiency disrupted...

Background: Acute high-altitude (HA) exposure results in blood pressure (BP) and cardiac function variations most subjects, some of whom suffer from acute mountain sickness (AMS). Several previous studies have found that cardiovascular indicators are potentially correlated with AMS. Objectives: This study aims to examine HA-induced adaptations AMS patients compare them healthy subjects. It also investigate the relationship between AMS, as well provide insightful information about prevention...
