[PMID: 38873710 DOI: 10.1111/cpr.13688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Regulated cell death (RCD) is a complex process that involves several cell types and plays a crucial role in vascular diseases. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the predominant elements of the medial layer of blood vessels, and their regulated death contributes to the pathogenesis of vascular diseases. The types of regulated VSMC death include apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, parthanatos, and autophagy-dependent cell death (ADCD). In this review, we summarize the current evidence of regulated VSMC death pathways in major vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, vascular calcification, aortic aneurysm and dissection, hypertension, pulmonary arterial hypertension, neointimal hyperplasia, and inherited vascular diseases. All forms of RCD constitute a single, coordinated cell death system in which one pathway can compensate for another during disease progression. Pharmacologically targeting RCD pathways has potential for slowing and reversing disease progression, but challenges remain. A better understanding of the role of regulated VSMC death in vascular diseases and the underlying mechanisms may lead to novel pharmacological developments and help clinicians address the residual cardiovascular risk in patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Iron homeostasis in older adults: balancing nutritional requirements and health risks. J Nutr Health Aging 2024; 28:100212.

Abstract
Iron plays a crucial role in many physiological processes, including oxygen transport, bioenergetics, and immune function. Iron is assimilated from food and also recycled from senescent red blood cells. Iron exists in two dietary forms: heme (animal based) and non-heme (mostly plant based). The body uses iron for metabolic purposes, and stores the excess mainly in splenic and hepatic macrophages. Physiologically, iron excretion in humans is inefficient and not highly regulated, so regulation of intestinal absorption maintains iron homeostasis. Iron losses occur at a steady rate via turnover of the intestinal epithelium, blood loss, and exfoliation of dead skin cells, but overall iron homeostasis is tightly controlled at cellular and systemic levels. Aging can have a profound impact on iron homeostasis and induce a dyshomeostasis where iron deficiency or overload (sometimes both simultaneously) can occur, potentially leading to several disorders and pathologies. To maintain physiologically balanced iron levels, reduce risk of disease, and promote healthy aging, it is advisable for older adults to follow recommended daily intake guidelines and periodically assess iron levels. Clinicians can evaluate body iron status using different techniques but selecting an assessment method primarily depends on the condition being examined. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the forms, sources, and metabolism of dietary iron, associated disorders of iron dyshomeostasis, assessment of iron levels in older adults, and nutritional guidelines and strategies to maintain iron balance in older adults.

Abstract
Essential trace elements play an important role in human physiology and are associated with various functions regulating cellular metabolism. Non-essential trace elements, on the other hand, often have well-documented toxicities that are dangerous for the initiation and development of diseases due to their widespread occurrence in the environment and their accumulation in living organisms. Non-essential trace elements are therefore regarded as serious environmental hazards that are harmful to health even in low concentrations. Many representatives of these elements are present as pollutants in our environment, and many people may be exposed to significant amounts of these substances over the course of their lives. Among the most common non-essential trace elements are heavy metals, which are also associated with acute poisoning in humans. When these elements accumulate in the body over years of chronic exposure, they often cause severe health damage in a variety of tissues and organs. In this review article, the role of selected essential and non-essential trace elements and their role in the development of exemplary pathophysiological processes in the cardiovascular system will be examined in more detail.

Abstract
Aortic dissection (AD) presents a medical challenge for clinicians. Here, to determine the role of a novel small non-coding piRNA-823 (piR-823) in AD, murine and human aorta from patients with AD were used. A high expression levels of piR-823 were found in patients with AD. Using performed loss- and gain-of-function assays in vitro and in vivo, we explore the regulatory effect of piR-823 on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and AD. piR-823 obviously facilitates the proliferation, migration, and phenotypic transformation of VSMCs with or without nicotine treatment. piR-823 directly binds and suppresses histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) expression, and regulates the acetylation of histone 3 (H3) via H3K9ac and H3K27ac, eventually, VSMC functions and AD. To consolidate our findings, AD murine model was performed, and we observed that piR-823 antagomir strongly inhibited the pathogenesis of AD through regulating vascular remodeling. Thus, our study finds a potential target for the prevention and treatment strategy for nicotine-induced AD.

Dysfunctional Coupling of Cerebral Blood Flow and Susceptibility Value in the Bilateral Hippocampus is Associated with Cognitive Decline in Nondialysis Patients with CKD. J Am Soc Nephrol 2023; 34:1574-1588. [PMID: 37476849 PMCID: PMC10482064 DOI: 10.1681/asn.0000000000000185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Patients with end stage CKD often develop cognitive decline, but whether this is related to the underlying disease or to hemodialysis remains unclear. We performed three-dimensional pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling and quantitative susceptibility mapping prospectively in 40 patients with stage 1-4 CKD, 47 nondialysis patients with stage 5 CKD, and 44 healthy controls. Our magnetic resonance imaging data demonstrate that changes in cerebral blood flow-susceptibility coupling might underlie this cognitive decline, perhaps in the hippocampus and thalamus. These results suggest that magnetic resonance imaging parameters are potential biomarkers of cognitive decline in patients with CKD. Moreover, our findings may lead to discovery of novel therapeutic targets to prevent cognitive decline in patients with CKD. BACKGROUND Cerebral blood flow (CBF) and susceptibility values reflect vascular and iron metabolism, providing mechanistic insights into conditions of health and disease. Nondialysis patients with CKD show a cognitive decline, but the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this remain unclear. METHODS Three-dimensional pseudocontinuous arterial spin labeling and quantitative susceptibility mapping were prospectively performed in 40 patients with stage 1-4 CKD (CKD 1-4), 47 nondialysis patients with stage 5 CKD (CKD 5ND), and 44 healthy controls (HCs). Voxel-based global and regional analyses of CBF, susceptibility values, and vascular-susceptibility coupling were performed. Furthermore, the association between clinical performance and cerebral perfusion and iron deposition was analyzed. RESULTS For CBF, patients with CKD 5ND had higher normalized CBF in the hippocampus and thalamus than HCs. Patients with CKD 5ND had higher normalized CBF in the hippocampus and thalamus than those with CKD 1-4. The susceptibility values in the hippocampus and thalamus were lower in patients with CKD 5ND than in HCs. Patients with CKD 5ND had higher susceptibility value in the caudate nucleus than those with CKD 1-4. More importantly, patients with CKD 5ND had lower CBF-susceptibility coupling than HCs. In addition, CBF and susceptibility values were significantly associated with clinical performance. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate a new neuropathological mechanism in patients with CKD, which leads to regional changes in CBF-susceptibility coupling. These changes are related to cognitive decline, providing potential imaging markers for assessing clinical disability and cognitive decline in these patients.

Association between hyporesponsiveness to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents and risk of brain hemorrhage in patients undergoing hemodialysis: the Q-Cohort Study. Clin Exp Nephrol 2023; 27:79-88.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyporesponsiveness to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) is associated with increased risks of all cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). However, the impact of the hematopoietic response to ESAs on the development of stroke, including brain hemorrhage and infarction, remains unclear. METHODS In total, 2886 patients undergoing maintenance HD registered in the Q-Cohort Study who were treated with ESAs were prospectively followed up for 4 years. The hematopoietic response to ESAs was evaluated by the erythropoietin resistance index (ERI), calculated by dividing the weekly dose of ESA by post-HD weight and hemoglobin (U/kg/week/g/dL). The primary outcomes were the incidences of brain hemorrhage and infarction. Patients were divided into quartiles based on their ERI at baseline (Q1, ≤ 4.1; Q2, 4.2-7.0; Q3, 7.1-11.2; and Q4, ≥ 11.3). The risks of brain hemorrhage and infarction were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models, adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS During the 4 year follow-up period, 71 patients developed brain hemorrhage and 116 developed brain infarction. In the multivariable analysis, the incidence of brain hemorrhage in the highest quartile (Q4) was significantly higher than that in the lowest quartile (Q1) (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval], 2.18 [1.08-4.42]). However, the association between the ERI and the incidence of brain infarction was not significant. CONCLUSIONS A higher ERI was associated with an increased risk of brain hemorrhage, but not brain infarction, in patients undergoing maintenance HD. A high ERI is thus an important risk factor for brain hemorrhage in these patients.

Iron deficiency promotes aortic media degeneration by activating endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated IRE1 signaling pathway. Pharmacol Res 2022; 183:106366.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aortic dissection (AD) is a macrovascular disease which is pathologically characterized by aortic media degeneration (AMD). Our team's previous research found that iron deficiency (ID) promoted the formation of AMD through presentative research. In this study, we aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of ID promoting AMD formation. METHODS The human aortic tissues were harvested from AD patients and organ donors. ApoE-/- mice were simultaneously given AngII infusion and low-iron feed to investigate the relationship between ID and AD. The IRE1-XBP1-CHOP signal axis of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress was selectively inhibited with 4μ8C. Iron contents were detected by Perls staining. The expression of iron metabolism and ER stress-relative proteins were analyzed by IF and western blotting. Apoptosis rates of aortic tissue and ASMCs were detected by TUNEL staining and flow cytometry, and ROS content was also measured by the flow cytometry. RESULTS ID was accompanied by ER stress in patients with AD. Among the three signaling pathways of ER stress in ID-induced AMD, proteins of IRE1, PERK and ATF6 signaling pathways were up-regulated by 2.65 times, 1.14 times and 1.24 times, respectively. ID was positively related to ER stress, mitochondrial oxidative stress and aortic media apoptosis in vivo and in vitro assays, while 4μ8C reversed the severity of ER stress and AMD. CONCLUSIONS ID could activate ER stress by eliciting mitochondrial oxidative stress to activate the IRE1-XBP1-CHOP signaling pathway in the ER, which accelerated the apoptosis of ASMCs in aortic media, thus promoting the formation of AMD.

Abstract
Background The misdiagnosis of aortic dissection (AD) can lead to a catastrophic prognosis. There is currently a lack of stable serological indicators with excellent efficacy for the differential diagnosis of AD and coronary artery disease (CAD). A recent study has shown an association between AD and iron metabolism. Thus, we investigated whether iron metabolism could discriminate AD from CAD. Methods This retrospective and multicenter cross-sectional study investigated the efficacy of biomarkers of iron metabolism for the differential diagnosis of AD. We collected biomarkers of iron metabolism, liver function, kidney function, and other biochemistry test, and further, logistic regression analysis was applied. Results Between Oct. 8, 2020, and Mar. 1, 2021, we recruited 521 patients diagnosed with AD, CAD, and other cardiovascular diseases (OCDs) with the main symptoms of chest and back pain and assigned them to discovery set (n = 330) or validation set (n = 191). We found that six serum biomarkers, including serum iron, low-density lipoprotein, uric acid, transferrin, high-density lipoprotein, and estimated glomerular filtration rate, can serve as a novel comprehensive indicator (named FLUTHE) for the differential diagnosis of AD and CAD with a sensitivity of 0.954 and specificity of 0.905 to differentially diagnose AD and CAD more than 72 h past symptom onset. Conclusion Our findings provide insight into the role of iron metabolism in diagnosing and distinguishing AD, which might in the future be a key component in AD diagnosis. Furthermore, we establish a novel model named "FLUTHE" with higher efficiency, safety, and economy, especially for patients with chest pain for more than 72 h.

Abstract
Iron deficiency (ID) is a global nutritional deficiency that was shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) in our previous studies. Some studies suggested that mitochondrial dynamics was involved in the apoptosis and phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, little is known about the role of mitochondrial dynamics in aortic medial degeneration (AMD) promoted by an iron deficient diet. The present study investigated the effect of ID on the phenotypic transformation of VSMCs, the progression of AMD, and the underlying mechanism. The expression of p-Drp1 (Ser616) and Fis1 was markedly upregulated in the aortic media of AAD patients and ApoE-/- mice with subcutaneous AngII osmotic pumps. ID facilitated the formation of mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs), which triggered excessive mitochondrial fission, induced the phenotypic transformation of VSMCs, and ultimately accelerated the progression of AMD. Furthermore, the present study indicated that an inhibitor of Drp1 could partially reverse this process. Maintaining iron balance in the human body may prevent the development of AAD.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial disease, for which the etiology is so complex that we are currently unable to prevent it and effectively lower the statistics on mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Parallel to modern analyses in molecular biology and biochemistry, we want to carry out analyses at the level of micro- and macroelements in order to discover the interdependencies between elements during atherogenesis. In this work, we used the Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) to determine the content of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, chromium, zinc, manganese, cadmium, lead, and zinc in the aorta sections of people who died a sudden death. We also estimated the content of metalloenzymes MMP-9, NOS-3, and SOD-2 using the immunohistochemical method. It was observed that with the age of the patient, the calcium content of the artery increased, while the content of copper and iron decreased. Very high correlations (correlation coefficient above 0.8) were observed for pairs of parameters in women: Mn–Ca, Fe–Cu, and Ca–Cd, and in men: Mn–Zn. The degree of atherosclerosis negatively correlated with magnesium and with cadmium. Chromium inhibited absorption of essential trace elements such as Cu and Fe due to its content being above the quantification threshold only if Cu and Fe were lower. Moreover, we discussed how to design research for the future in order to learn more about the pathomechanism of atherosclerosis and the effect of taking dietary supplements on the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases.
