Abstract
During cardiac reperfusion after myocardial infarction, the heart is subjected to cascading cycles of ischaemia reperfusion injury (IRI). Patients presenting with this injury succumb to myocardial dysfunction resulting in myocardial cell death, which contributes to morbidity and mortality. New targeted therapies are required if the myocardium is to be protected from this injury and improve patient outcomes. Extensive research into the role of mitochondria during ischaemia and reperfusion has unveiled one of the most important sites contributing towards this injury; specifically, the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. The opening of this pore occurs during reperfusion and results in mitochondria swelling and dysfunction, promoting apoptotic cell death. Activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels (mitoKATP) channels, uncoupling proteins, and inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK3β) phosphorylation have been identified to delay mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening and reduce reactive oxygen species formation, thereby decreasing infarct size. Statins have recently been identified to provide a direct cardioprotective effect on these specific mitochondrial components, all of which reduce the severity of myocardial IRI, promoting the ability of statins to be a considerate preconditioning agent. This review will outline what has currently been shown in regard to statins cardioprotective effects on mitochondria during myocardial IRI.

Abstract
Objective: Since ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) can cause malignant arrhythmia, we explored the cardioprotective effect of pretreatment with a single and large dose of atorvastatin in the SD rat model. Methods: Rats were distributed into atorvastatin (Ator), I/R model and
sham groups (n = 8/group) by random number table method. In Ator group, atorvastatin was gavaged with a single dose (80 mg/kg) 12 h before I/R. The heart was treated with ischemia for 30 min and then reperfusion for 2 h. Results: Myocardial infarct area was induced by I/R when compared
with Sham group. Compared with I/R group, the pretreatment of atorvastatin significantly reduced area at risk/left ventricle (40.78 ± 1.39% vs. 46.76 ± 1.42%, p < 0.01), infarct area/area at risk (21.47 ± 1.65% vs. 29.16 ± 1.21%, p < 0.01), and
lactate dehydrogenase activity (3056.17 ± 136.22 RFU vs. 3864.15 ± 162.92 RFU, p < 0.05). I/R induced uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) in transcriptional and translational levels, but atorvastatin significantly increased the UCP3 expression when compared with I/R group,
1.91 ± 0.42 vs. 1.42 ± 0.21 fold (p < 0.05) in mRNA levels measured by RT-PCR and 2.07 ± 0.18 versus 1.45 ± 0.23 fold in protein levels by Western blots. Conclusion: A single high-dose atorvastatin pretreatment 12 h before I/R reduces the infarct
area in I/R model in rats. The cardioprotection may be via regulating myocardial UCP3.

Abstract
Mitochondria play a fundamental role in the energetics of cardiac cells. Moreover, mitochondria are involved in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury by opening the mitochondrial permeability transition pore which is the major cause of cell death. The preservation of mitochondrial function is an essential component of the cardioprotective mechanism. The involvement of mitochondrial K+ transport in this complex phenomenon seems to be well established. Several mitochondrial K+ channels in the inner mitochondrial membrane, such as ATP-sensitive, voltage-regulated, calcium-activated and Na+-activated channels, have been discovered. This obliges us to ask the following question: why is the simple potassium ion influx process carried out by several different mitochondrial potassium channels? In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of both the properties of mitochondrial potassium channels in cardiac mitochondria and the current understanding of their multidimensional functional role. We also critically summarize the pharmacological modulation of these proteins within the context of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardioprotection.

Abstract
Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides play a significant role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Neurotoxic effects promoted by Aβ peptides involve glutamate transmission impairment, decrease of neurotrophic factors, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, synaptotoxicity, and neuronal degeneration. Here, we assessed the early events evoked by Aβ1-40 on the hippocampus. Additionally, we sought to unravel the molecular mechanisms of atorvastatin preventive effect on Aβ-induced hippocampal damage. Mice were treated orally (p.o.) with atorvastatin 10 mg/kg/day during 7 consecutive days before the intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) infusion of Aβ1-40 (400 pmol/site). Twenty-four hours after Aβ1-40 infusion, a reduced content of mature BDNF/proBDNF ratio was observed in Aβ-treated mice. However, there is no alteration in synaptophysin, PSD-95, and doublecortin immunocontent in the hippocampus. Aβ1-40 promoted an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) generation in hippocampal slices, and atorvastatin prevented this oxidative burst. Mitochondrial OXPHOS was measured by high-resolution respirometry. At this time point, Aβ1-40 did not alter the O2 consumption rates (OCR) related to phosphorylating state associated with complexes I and II, and the maximal OCR. However, atorvastatin increased OCR of phosphorylating state associated with complex I and complexes I and II, maximal OCR of complexes I and II, and OCR associated with mitochondrial spare capacity. Atorvastatin treatment improved mitochondrial function in the rodent hippocampus, even after Aβ infusion, pointing to a promising effect of improving brain mitochondria bioenergetics. Therefore, atorvastatin could act as an adjuvant in battling the symptoms of AD to preventing or delaying the disease progression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study was established to inquire into the protective effect of the HIF-1α (Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α)/ BNIP3(Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa interacting protein) signal path-induced-autophagy during myocardial ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) and oxygen-glucose deprivation/recovery (OGD/R) injury in heart-derived H9C2 cells as well as its potential underlying mechanism. METHODS Immediate myocardial I/R in SD (Spraque Dawley) rats and cytotoxicity of OGD/R injury on H9C2 cells with and without inhibitors or agonists of HIF-1α and BNIP3 were evaluated. Expression of mitochondrial autophagic protein were detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence. And the mitochondrial autophagosome were detected using Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). RESULTS I/R and OGD/R injury increased the expression level of HIF-1α, activated the downstream BNIP3 and subsequently triggered mitochondria-dependent autophagy. Up-regulation the expression of HIF-1α and BNIP3 may promote the cardiac myocytes of SD rats of I/R injure and OGD/R injury-induced autophagy of H9C2 cells. Moreover, down-regulation the expression of HIF-1α or BNIP3-siRNA decreased H9C2 cells autophagy under OGD/R injury. CONCLUSIONS Together, our studies indicated that HIF-1α synchronization regulate BNIP3 during OGD/R injury-induced autophagy in H9C2 cells, though BNIP3-induced autophagy acting as a survival mechanism.

Abstract
Statins could reduce the risks of coronary heart disease death and ischemic cardiovascular events. In this study, we aim to explore the role of rosuvastatin in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-injured cardiomyocytes and the possible mechanism. An I/R model was established by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R). The protective effects of rosuvastatin pretreatment on OGD/R-injured cardiomyocytes were performed using MTT assay, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Bioinformatics software TargetScan and miRTarBase were used to predict the targeted miRNAs with uncoupling protein (UCP)2. Furthermore, verify the binding capacity of hsa-miR-24-3p and UCP2 with qRT-PCR and dual-luciferase reporter assay. The expression of UCP2, cell viability, LDH level, and apoptosis level affected by downregulated hsa-miR-24-3p were assessed using qRT-PCR, western blotting, MTT, the LDH kit, and flow cytometry. Pretreatment with rosuvastatin could significantly augment cell viability, reduce LDH level, increase the expression of UCP2, and downregulate hsa-miR-24-3p in OGD/R-injured H9c2 cells. miR-24-3p was closely connected with UCP2, and downregulated miR-24-3p could promote UCP2 expression, which presented cell viability increasing, LDH release and cell apoptosis inhibition in OGD/R condition. Moreover, it decreased the protein expression of Cleaved-Caspase-9 and Cyto C. This is the first time our study suggests that rosuvastatin pretreatment protects cardiomyocytes from OGD/R through upregulating UCP2 through downregulation of hsa-miR-24-3p.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced oxidative stress is a serious clinical problem in the reperfusion therapy for ischemic diseases. Tumstatin is an endogenous bioactive peptide cleaved from type IV collagen α3 chain. We previously reported that T3 peptide, an active subfragment of tumstatin, exerts cytoprotective effects on H2O2-induced apoptosis through the inhibition of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. In this study, we investigated whether T3 peptide has cardioprotective effects against I/R injury by using in vitro and ex vivo experimental models. H9c2 cardiomyoblasts were stimulated with oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) for 12 h followed by reoxygenation for 1-8 h (OGD/R; in vitro model). The cells were treated with T3 peptide (30-1000 ng/ml) during OGD. Ten minutes after the pre-perfusion of T3 peptide (300 ng/ml), Langendorff perfused rat hearts were exposed to ischemia for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 1 h (ex vivo model). T3 peptide inhibited OGD/R-induced apoptosis through the inhibition of mitochondrial ROS production and dysfunction in H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. T3 peptide also prevented I/R-induced cardiac dysfunction, arrhythmia and myocardial infarction in the perfused rat heart. In conclusion, we for the first time demonstrated that T3 peptide exerts cardioprotective effects against I/R injury.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are ubiquitously expressed on the plasma membrane of cells in multiple organs, including the heart, pancreas and brain. KATP channels play important roles in controlling and regulating cellular functions in response to metabolic state, which are inhibited by ATP and activated by Mg-ADP, allowing the cell to couple cellular metabolic state (ATP/ADP ratio) to electrical activity of the cell membrane. KATP channels mediate insulin secretion in pancreatic islet beta cells, and controlling vascular tone. Under pathophysiological conditions, KATP channels play cytoprotective role in cardiac myocytes and neurons during ischemia and/or hypoxia. KATP channel is a hetero-octameric complex, consisting of four pore-forming Kir6.x and four regulatory sulfonylurea receptor SURx subunits. These subunits are differentially expressed in various cell types, thus determining the sensitivity of the cells to specific channel modifiers. Sulfonylurea class of antidiabetic drugs blocks KATP channels, which are neuroprotective in stroke, can be one of the high stoke risk factors for diabetic patients. In this review, we discussed the potential effects of KATP channel blockers when used under pathological conditions related to diabetics and cerebral ischemic stroke.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of atorvastatin against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in cardiomyocytes and its underlying mechanisms. The direct cytotoxic effects of oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) on cardiomyocytes with and without atorvastatin pretreatment were evaluated. The effects of atorvastatin on the expression of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) and microRNA (miR)-199a-5p were determined using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot analyses. In addition, the expression levels of GSK-3β in cells with miR-199a-5p upregulation and downregulation were detected using RT-qPCR, western blot and immunohistochemical analyses. Pretreatment with atorvastatin significantly improved the recovery of cell viability from OGD/R (P<0.05). In addition, atorvastatin pretreatment significantly increased the expression of GSK-3β at the mRNA and protein levels, and the expression of miR-199a-5p at the mRNA level (all P<0.05). The upregulation and downregulation of miR-199a-5p respectively decreased and increased the expression of GSK-3β at the mRNA and protein levels. These results suggested that atorvastatin provided cardioprotective effects against I/R injury via increasing the expression of GSK-3β through the inhibition of miR-199a-5p.

Abstract
The aim of the study reported here was to evaluate whether the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mitoKATP) channel could participate in the effect of dexmedetomidine on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) rats. Forty rats were randomly assigned into 5 groups: sham operation (S) group; cerebral I/R group; dexmedetomidine (D) group; 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) group; 5-HD + D group. The cerebral I/R were produced by 2 h right middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by 24 h reperfusion. Dexmedetomidine (50μg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally before ischemia and after the onset of reperfusion. 5-HD (30 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally at 1 h before ischemia. The neurological deficit score (NDS) and the levels of super oxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were evaluated. Compared to group S, NDS and the levels of MDA, MPO, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly higher, and SOD levels were significantly lower in the other groups (P < 0.05). Compared to group I/R,NDS and the levels of MDA, MPO, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly lower, and SOD level was significantly higher in group D (P < 0.05). Compared to group D, NDS and the levels of MDA, MPO, IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly higher, and SOD level was significantly lower in group5-HD + D (P < 0.05). The activation of the mitoKATP channel could contribute to the protective effect of dexmedetomidine on rats induced by focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
RATIONALE Three subsets of mitochondria have been described in adult cardiomyocytes - intermyofibrillar (IMF), subsarcolemmal (SSM), and perinuclear (PN). They have been shown to differ in physiology, but whether they also vary in morphological characteristics is unknown. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) is known to prevent mitochondrial dysfunction induced by acute myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), but whether IPC can also modulate mitochondrial morphology is not known. AIMS Morphological characteristics of three different subsets of adult cardiac mitochondria along with the effect of ischemia and IPC on mitochondrial morphology will be investigated. METHODS Mouse hearts were subjected to the following treatments (N=6 for each group): stabilization only, IPC (3x5 min cycles of global ischemia and reperfusion), ischemia only (20 min global ischemia); and IPC and ischemia. Hearts were then processed for electron microscopy and mitochondrial morphology was assessed subsequently. RESULTS In adult cardiomyocytes, IMF mitochondria were found to be more elongated and less spherical than PN and SSM mitochondria. PN mitochondria were smaller in size when compared to the other two subsets. SSM mitochondria had similar area to IMF mitochondria but their sphericity measures were similar to PN mitochondria. Ischemia was shown to increase the sphericity parameters of all 3 subsets of mitochondria; reduce the length of IMF mitochondria, and increase the size of PN mitochondria. IPC had no effect on mitochondrial morphology either at baseline or after ischemia. CONCLUSION The three subsets of mitochondria in the adult heart are morphologically different. IPC does not appear to modulate mitochondrial morphology in adult cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
The clinical use of doxorubicin and other antitumor anthracyclines is limited by a dose-related risk of cardiomyopathy and heart failure which may occur “on treatment” or any time, from months to years, after completing chemotherapy. Dose reductions diminish the incidence of cardiac events attributable to anthracyclines, but heart failure still occurs in some patients exposed to low or moderate anthracycline doses. Because anthracyclines improve the life expectancy of patients with, for example, breast cancer or lymphomas, preventing or diminishing the risk of early or delayed cardiotoxicity is of obvious clinical importance. Here, we briefly review some potential strategies of primary prevention that are based on what we know about the molecular mechanisms of cardiotoxicity, and what can be done, or might be done, to interfere with the pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and genetic determinants of cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) are widely used drugs for lowering blood lipid levels and preventing cardiovascular diseases. However, statins can have serious adverse effects, which may be related to development of mitochondrial dysfunctions. The aim of study was to demonstrate the in vivo effect of high and therapeutic doses of statins on mitochondrial respiration in blood platelets. Model approach was used in the study. Simvastatin was administered to rats at a high dose for 4 weeks. Humans were treated with therapeutic doses of rosuvastatin or atorvastatin for 6 weeks. Platelet mitochondrial respiration was measured using high-resolution respirometry. In rats, a significantly lower physiological respiratory rate was found in intact platelets of simvastatin-treated rats compared to controls. In humans, no significant changes in mitochondrial respiration were detected in intact platelets; however, decreased complex I-linked respiration was observed after statin treatment in permeabilized platelets. We propose that the small in vivo effect of statins on platelet energy metabolism can be attributed to drug effects on complex I of the electron transport system. Both intact and permeabilized platelets can be used as a readily available biological model to study changes in cellular energy metabolism in patients treated with statins.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in a variety of age-related diseases, including multiple cardiovascular disorders. However, translation of ROS scavengers (antioxidants) into the clinic has not been successful. These antioxidants grossly reduce total levels of cellular ROS including ROS that participate in physiological signaling. In this review, we challenge the traditional antioxidant therapeutic approach that targets ROS directly with novel approaches that improve mitochondrial functions to more effectively treat cardiovascular diseases.
