Preparation and evaluation of the PD0721‑DOX antibody‑drug conjugate targeting EGFRvIII to inhibit glioblastoma. Exp Ther Med 2024; 27:254. [PMID: 38682116 PMCID: PMC11046186 DOI: 10.3892/etm.2024.12542] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) is prominently expressed in various epithelial tumors. PD0721, a single-chain antibody (scFv), has been developed to specifically target EGFRvIII. Although doxorubicin (DOX) is an essential treatment approach for glioblastoma (GBM), its toxic effects and limited targeting capabilities are a challenge. To overcome the above limitations, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have been developed to exploit the specificity of monoclonal antibodies in directing potent cytotoxic drugs to tumor cells expressing the target antigens. The present study aimed to conjugate DOX with PD0721 scFv to construct a PD0721-DOX ADC targeting EGFRvIII and examine its targeting effect and in vitro anti-GBM activity. PD0721-DOX ADC was generated by combining PD0721 scFv with DOX, using dextran T-10 as a linker. The drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) was measured by ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis). A series of techniques, including cytotoxicity assays, immunofluorescence, cell internalization and flow cytometry assays were employed to evaluate the targeting efficacy and anti-GBM activity of the PD0721-DOX ADC. Following the conjugation of PD0721 scFv with DOX, the UV-Vis results showed a noticeable red shift in the maximum absorbance. The DAR of PD0721 scFv and DOX was 9.23:1. Cytotoxicity assays demonstrated that DK-MG cells treatment with PD0721-DOX ADC at 10 and 20 µg/ml significantly increased cytotoxicity compared with U-87MG ATCC cells (all P<0.01). Confocal microscopy revealed distinct green and red fluorescence in EGFRvIII-expressing DK-MG cells, while no fluorescence was observed in EGFRvIII negative U-87MG ATCC cells. Furthermore, compared with U-87MG ATCC cells, DK-MG cells showed effective internalization of the PD0721-DOX ADC (P<0.001). Finally, flow cytometric analyses indicated that the PD0721-DOX ADC significantly promoted the apoptosis of DK-MG cells compared with U-87MG ATCC cells (P<0.01). In summary, the current study suggested that the PD0721-DOX ADC could exhibit a notable targeting efficacy and potent anti-GBM activity.

Research progress on the role and mechanism of Sirtuin family in doxorubicin cardiotoxicity. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 129:155673. [PMID: 38677274 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely utilized anthracycline chemotherapy drug in cancer treatment, yet its efficacy is hindered by both short-term and long-term cardiotoxicity. Although oxidative stress, inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction are established factors in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, the precise molecular pathways remain elusive. Further exploration of the pathogenesis and identification of novel molecular targets are imperative. Recent studies have implicated the Sirtuins family in various physiological and pathological processes, suggesting their potential in ameliorating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. Moreover, research on Sirtuins has discovered small-molecule compounds or medicinal plants with regulatory effects, representing a notable advancement in preventing and treating DOX-induced cardiac injury. PURPOSE In this review, we delve into the pathogenesis of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and explore the therapeutic effects of Sirtuins in mitigating this condition, along with the associated molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, we delineate the roles and mechanisms of small-molecule regulators of Sirtuins in the prevention and treatment of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. STUDY-DESIGN/METHODS Data for this review were sourced from various scientific databases (such as Web of Science, PubMed and Science Direct) up to March 2024. Search terms included "Sirtuins," "DOX-induced cardiotoxicity," "DOX," "Sirtuins regulators," "histone deacetylation," among others, as well as several combinations thereof. RESULTS Members of the Sirtuins family regulate both the onset and progression of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity through anti-inflammatory, antioxidative stress and anti-apoptotic mechanisms, as well as by maintaining mitochondrial stability. Moreover, natural plant-derived active compounds such as Resveratrol (RES), curcumin, berberine, along with synthetic small-molecule compounds like EX527, modulate the expression and activity of Sirtuins. CONCLUSION The therapeutic role of the Sirtuins family in mitigating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity represents a potential molecular target. However, further research is urgently needed to elucidate the relevant molecular mechanisms and to assess the safety and biological activity of Sirtuins regulators. This review offers an in-depth understanding of the therapeutic role of the Sirtuins family in mitigating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, providing a preliminary basis for the clinical application of Sirtuins regulators in this condition.

Qishen granule attenuates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by protecting mitochondrial function and reducing oxidative stress through regulation of Sirtuin3. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 319:117134. [PMID: 37714227 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most potent chemotherapy drugs available today. However, the adverse effect of cardiotoxicity limits its clinical application. New approaches are being investigated for the treatment of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Doxorubicin is enriched in mitochondria and it could induce imbalance of protein modification, including acetylation of mitochondria proteins, thereby inducing DIC. Restoration of mitochondria function is an effective way to attenuate DIC. The formula for traditional Chinese medicine Granules of Qishen (QSG) was derived from the classic formula "Zhen-Wu-Tang" which has been extensively used in the treatment of myocardial infarction. It consists of six traditional Chinese medicines, including Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus (Bunge) P.K.Hsiao (Fabaceae), Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge (Lamiaceae), Lonicera japonica Thunb. (Caprifoliaceae), Aconitum carmichaelii Debeaux (Ranunculaceae), Scrophularia ningpoensis Hemsl. (Scrophulariaceae), and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. (Fabaceae). QSG is a potential anti-DIC formula. A better understanding of the effectiveness and pharmacological mechanisms of QSG will aid in the prevention and treatment of DIC. AIM OF THE STUDY The purpose of this research was to explore the effectiveness of QSG in the treatment of DIC and to explore whether QSG could protect mitochondrial function and reduce oxidative damage by activating Sirtuin3(SIRT3)/Acetylated-superoxide dismutase 2(Ac-SOD2) signaling pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS DOX was injected into mice through the tail vein to construct a mouse model of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity to explore the therapeutic effect of QSG in animals. Meanwhile, the H9C2 cell model was used to study the mechanism of QSG. The cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography, hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining and measurement of serum levels of creatine kinase isoenzymes (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Oxidative damage was evaluated by 2',7'-dichlorodihydro fluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining and Mito-SOX Red staining. Levels of total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were measured by following the instructions of commercially available kits. In order to detect the changes in mitochondrial membrane potential, cells were stained using the mitochondrial membrane potential detection kit (JC-1). Western blot analysis was applied to detect protein expressions of SIRT3, Ac-SOD2, Acetylation Lysine (Ac-Lys), Bax and Bcl-2. H9C2 cells were treated with SIRT3 inhibitor, in order to determine if QSG had effects via the SIRT3/Ac-SOD2 pathway. RESULTS In vivo studies showed that QSG ameliorated doxorubicin-induced damage of cardiac function in DIC mice model. The ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS) were all up-regulated by QSG treatment. QSG decreased MDA levels and increased SOD activity. Meanwhile, doxorubicin induced high level of protein acetylation and QSG restored the acetylated protein back to normal levels. In particular, QSG upregulated expression of SIRT3 and downregulated Ac-SOD level. In vitro study demonstrated that QSG restored mitochondrial membrane potential, increased ATP level and reduced mitochondrial ROS production. When H9C2 cells were co-incubated with SIRT3 inhibitor, the efficacies of QSG on mitochondrial function were abrogated. Meanwhile, the regulative effects of QSG on SIRT3/Ac-SOD2 pathway were also abolished. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that QSG is effective in treating DIC. QSG ameliorates oxidative damage and protects mitochondrial function partly by restoring protein acetylation level and by activating the SIRT3/Ac-SOD2 pathway.

Spermidine Retarded the Senescence of Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells In Vitro and In Vivo through SIRT3-Mediated Antioxidation. Stem Cells Int 2023; 2023:9672658. [PMID: 37234959 PMCID: PMC10208764 DOI: 10.1155/2023/9672658] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) expand in vitro and undergo replicative senescence, thereby restricting their clinical utilization. Thus, an effective strategy is required to impede MSC senescence. Since spermidine (SPD) supplementation can prolong the lifespan of yeast by inhibiting oxidative stress, spermidine is a potential option for delaying MSC senescence. In this study, to test our hypothesis, we first isolated primary human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs). Subsequently, the appropriate SPD dose was administered during continuous cell cultivation. Next, we evaluated the antisenescence effects by SA-β-gal staining, Ki67 expression, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, adipogenic or osteogenic ability, senescence-associated markers, and DNA damage markers. The results revealed that early SPD intervention significantly delays the replicative senescence of hUCMSCs and constrains premature H2O2-induced senescence. Additionally, by silencing SIRT3, the SPD-mediated antisenescence effects disappear, further demonstrating that SIRT3 is necessary for SPD to exert its antisenescence effects on hUCMSCs. Besides, the findings of this study also suggest that SPD in vivo protects MSCs against oxidative stress and delays cell senescence. Thus, MSCs maintain the ability to proliferate and differentiate efficiently in vitro and in vivo, which reflects the potential clinical utilization of MSCs in the future.

SIRT3 attenuates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome via autophagy. Biochem Pharmacol 2023; 207:115354. [PMID: 36435202 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2022.115354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a highly effective and extensively used chemotherapeutic drug but is limited by its cardiotoxicity. In our previous study, we showed that DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) triggers autophagy and pyroptosis. Sirtuin 3(SIRT3) is an NAD + -dependent deacetylase of the mitochondria that regulates autophagy. However, it is unknown if the protective effects of SIRT3 on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity involve the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In this study, we constructed in vivo and in vitro DIC models to investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of SIRT3 on DIC. We found that the overexpression of SIRT3 remarkably attenuated DIC through inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Moreover, we found that the overexpression of SIRT3 restored the dynamic balance of autophagosome/autolysosomes by targeting the mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway. Application of the mTOR agonist MHY1485 further demonstrated that SIRT3 inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation by regulating autophagy. Collectively, the results suggest that SIRT3 effectively attenuates the cardiotoxicity of DOX and provides a theoretical foundation for further exploration of DIC.

SIRT3 alleviates mitochondrial dysfunction induced by recurrent low glucose and improves the supportive function of astrocytes to neurons. Free Radic Biol Med 2022; 193:405-420. [PMID: 36306990 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2022.10.313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Revised: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Hypoglycemia is an independent risk factor of cognitive impairment in patients with diabetes. Our previous study indicated that dysfunction of astrocytic mitochondria induced by recurrent low glucose (RLG) may account for hypoglycemia-associated neuronal injury and cognitive decline. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is a key deacetylase for mitochondrial proteins and has recently been demonstrated to be an important regulator of mitochondrial function. However, whether mitochondrial dysfunction due to hypoglycemia is associated with astrocytic SIRT3 remains unclear, and few studies have focused on the impact of astrocytic SIRT3 on neuronal survival. In the present work, primary mouse cortical astrocytes cultured in normal glucose (5.5 mM) and high glucose (16.5 mM) were treated with five rounds of RLG (0.1 mM). The results showed that RLG suppressed SIRT3 expression in a glucose-dependent manner. High-glucose culture considerably increased the vulnerability of SIRT3 to RLG, leading to disrupted mitochondrial morphology in astrocytes. Overexpression of SIRT3 markedly improved astrocytic mitochondrial function and reduced RLG-induced oxidative stress. Moreover, SIRT3 suppressed a shift towards a neuroinflammatory A1-like reactive phenotype of astrocytes in response to RLG with reduced IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα levels. Furthermore, it elevated brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and promoted neurite growth by activating BDNF/TrkB signaling in the co-cultured neurons. The present study reveals the probable crosstalk between neurons and astrocytes after hypoglycemic exposure and provides a potential target in treating hypoglycemia-associated neuronal injury.

Abstract
Anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin, are effective chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer, but their clinical use is associated with severe and potentially life-threatening cardiotoxicity. Despite decades of research, treatment options remain limited. The mitochondria is commonly considered to be the main target of doxorubicin and mitochondrial dysfunction is the hallmark of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Here, we review the pathogenic mechanisms of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and present an update on cardioprotective strategies for this disorder. Specifically, we focus on strategies that can protect the mitochondria and cover different therapeutic modalities encompassing small molecules, post-transcriptional regulators, and mitochondrial transfer. We also discuss the shortcomings of existing models of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and explore advances in the use of human pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes as a platform to facilitate the identification of novel treatments against this disorder.

Abstract
CONTEXT Lycium barbarum L. (Solanaceae) seed oil (LBSO) exerts LBSO exerts protective effects in the testis in vivo and in vitro via upregulating SIRT3. OBJECTIVE This study evaluates the effects and mechanism of LBSO in the d-galactose (d-gal)-induced ageing testis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (n = 30, 8-week-old) were randomly divided into three groups: LBSO group (n = 10) where rats received subcutaneous injection of d-gal at 125 mg/kg/day for 8 weeks and intragastric administration of LBSO at 1000 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks, ageing model group (n = 10) received 8-week-sunbcutaneous injection of d-gal, and control group (n = 10) with same administration of normal saline. Lentivirus had established TM4 cells with SIRT3 overexpression or silencing before LBSO intervened in vitro. RESULTS Treatment with LBSO, the levels of INHB and testosterone both increased, compared to ageing model. In vitro, we found the ED50 of LBSO was 86.72 ± 1.49 and when the concentration of LBSO at 100 μg/mL to intervene TM4 cells, the number of cells increased from 8120 ± 676.2 to 15251 ± 1119, and the expression of SIRT3, HO-1, and SOD upregulated. However, HO-1 and SOD were dysregulated by silencing SIRT3. On the other hand, the expression of AMPK and PGC-1α upregulated as an effect of SIRT3 overexpression by lentivirus, meanwhile the same increasing trend of that being found in cells treated with LBSO, compared to control group. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS LBSO alleviated oxidative stress in d-gal-induced sub-acutely ageing testis and TM4 cells by suppressing the oxidative stress to mitochondria via SIRT3/AMPK/PGC-1α.

Abstract
Background Exosomes are small membranous structures released from cells into the blood, regulating various biological processes. However, the role of exosomes in cardiotoxicity remains largely unclear. This study investigated the functional mechanism of exosomal microRNA‐96 (miR‐96) derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in myocardial toxicity induced by doxorubicin. Methods and Results BMSCs were transfected with miR‐96 mimic, miR‐96 inhibitor, or the negative control before exosome isolation. The functional mechanism of BMSC‐derived exosomal miR‐96 was investigated in doxorubicin‐induced cell and rat models. The cardiac function, histological morphology, and fiber content of myocardium were examined. The expression levels of the following biomarkers were measured for assessment of cardiac injury: creatine kinase isoenzyme MB, cardiac troponin I, brain natriuretic peptide, soluble suppression of tumorigenesis‐2, tumor necrosis factor‐α, interleukin‐1β, interleukin‐6, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and malondialdehyde. Cell Counting Kit‐8 assay was used to measure the survival rate of cardiomyocytes. The expressions of miR‐96, Rac1, p‐IKKα/IKKα, p‐IKKβ/IKKβ, p‐IκBα/IκBα and p‐p65/p65 in myocardium and cardiomyocytes were also assessed. The targeting relationship between miR‐96 and Rac1 was verified by dual‐luciferase reporter assay. miR‐96 was downregulated, Rac1 was upregulated and the nuclear factor‐κB signaling pathway was activated in doxorubicin‐induced cell and animal models. Doxorubicin decreased antioxidative enzymes (superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase) and increased myocardial injury biomarkers (creatine kinase isoenzyme MB, cardiac troponin I, and brain natriuretic peptide), proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor‐α, interleukin‐1β, and interleukin‐6), malondialdehyde, and myocardial fibers. Exosomes derived from BMSCs ameliorated doxorubicin‐induced myocardial injuries. Overexpression of miR‐96 in exosomes derived from BMSCs further enhanced the protection of myocardium and cardiomyocytes against doxorubicin‐induced toxicity while miR‐96 knockdown abolished the protective effects of exosomes derived from BMSCs. Rac1 was a target gene of miR‐96. Rac1 inhibition could downregulate the expression of the nuclear factor‐κB signaling and further reverse the promotion of miR‐96 knockdown on doxorubicin‐induced myocardial toxicity. Conclusions BMSC‐derived exosomal miR‐96 protects myocardium against doxorubicin‐induced toxicity by inhibiting the Rac/nuclear factor‐κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
As a potent chemotherapeutic agent, doxorubicin (DOX) is widely used for the treatment of a variety of cancers However, its clinical utility is limited by dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, and pathogenesis has traditionally been attributed to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Accordingly, the prevention of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity is an indispensable goal to optimize therapeutic regimens and reduce morbidity. Acetylation is an emerging and important epigenetic modification regulated by histone deacetylases (HDACs) and histone acetyltransferases (HATs). Despite extensive studies of the molecular basis and biological functions of acetylation, the application of acetylation as a therapeutic target for cardiotoxicity is in the initial stage, and further studies are required to clarify the complex acetylation network and improve the clinical management of cardiotoxicity. In this review, we summarize the pivotal functions of HDACs and HATs in DOX-induced oxidative stress, the underlying mechanisms, the contributions of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) and exercise-mediated deacetylases to cardiotoxicity. Furthermore, we describe research progress related to several important SIRT activators and HDAC inhibitors with potential clinical value for chemotherapy and cardiotoxicity. Collectively, a comprehensive understanding of specific roles and recent developments of acetylation in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity will provide a basis for improved treatment outcomes in cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is the most effective and extensively used treatment for many tumors. However, its clinical use is hampered by its cardiotoxicity. DOX-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, which causes reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, cardiomyocyte death, bioenergetic failure, and decreased cardiac function, is a very important mechanism of cardiotoxicity. These cellular processes are all linked by mitochondrial sirtuins (SIRT3-SIRT4). Mitochondrial sirtuins preserve mitochondrial function by increasing mitochondrial metabolism, inhibiting ROS generation by activating the antioxidant enzyme manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), decreasing apoptosis by activating the forkhead homeobox type O (FOXO) and P53 pathways, and increasing autophagy through AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mTOR signaling. Thus, sirtuins function at the control point of many mechanisms involved in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. In this review, we focus on the role of mitochondrial sirtuins in mitochondrial biology and DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. A further aim is to highlight other mitochondrial processes, such as autophagy (mitophagy) and mitochondrial quality control (MQC), for which the effect of mitochondrial sirtuins on cardiotoxicity is unknown.

Abstract
Anthracyclines is an effective chemotherapeutic treatment used for many types of cancer. However, high cumulative dosage of anthracyclines leads to cardiac toxicity and heart failure. Dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics and function are major pathways driving this toxicity. Several pharmacological and non‐pharmacological interventions aiming to attenuate cardiac toxicity by targeting mitochondrial dynamics and function have shown beneficial effects in cell and animal models. However, in clinical practice, there is currently no standard therapy for the prevention of anthracycline‐induced cardiotoxicity. This review summarizes current reports on the impact of anthracyclines on cardiac mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial function and potential interventions targeting these pathways. The roles of mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial function in the development of anthracycline‐induced cardiotoxicity should provide insights in devising novel strategies to attenuate the cardiac toxicity induced by anthracyclines.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy (CH) is an enormous risk factor in the process of heart failure development, however, there is still lack of effective treatment for CH. Mitochondrial protection is an effective way against CH. Rheum palmatum L. (rhubarb) has been used to treat chronic heart diseases such as heart failure, especially to inhibit cardiac compensatory enlargement. The aim of this study was to explore the pharmacodynamic component of rhubarb and reveal its pharmacological effects and targets in the treatment of CH. Based on network pharmacology and machine learning approach, ingredients of rhubarb and targets for CH were extracted and surflex docking was conducted for obtaining the optimal ingredient-target combination(s) and emodin-SIRT3 was identified for further functional analysis. Transverse aortic constriction or isoproterenol induced CH mice and phenylephrine injured cardiomyocytes were used to verify the mitochondria protection effect and CH improvement of emodin in vivo and in vitro by modulation of mitochondrial SIRT3 signaling. The results showed that emodin could block agonist-induced and pressure overload-mediated CH. Emodin prevented mitochondrial dysfunction and its underlying mechanism was attributed to the activation of SIRT3, but the effect was not obvious with the presence of SIRT3 inhibitors (3-TYP)/SIRT3 siRNA. Furthermore, PGC-1ɑ was involved in the process of emodin regulating SIRT3 signaling pathway as an upstream target. Our findings clarified the main material basis and mechanism of rhubarb in the treatment of CH. Emodin, as the major ingredient of rhubarb, has therapeutic potential for CH through mitochondrial protection due to the modulation of SIRT3 signaling.
