Abstract
Myocardial infarction is characterized by oxygen deficiency caused by arterial flow restriction. Salidroside (SAL) protects against myocardial damage via antioxidant production and inhibition of apoptosis. The present study aimed to investigate potential rescue mechanism of SAL on hypoxic cardiomyocytes. H9C2 cardiomyocytes were divided into normoxia, hypoxia and hypoxia + SAL groups. The inhibitory rate of hypoxia and the optimal concentration and rescue effect of SAL were determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometry. Ca2+ concentration following hypoxia treatment and SAL intervention were detected by Fluo-4/acetoxymethyl. Tandem mass tag (TMT) proteomics was used to analyze the differential expression of hypoxia-associated proteins among the three groups. SAL exerted a protective effect on hypoxia-injured cardiomyocytes by enhancing aerobic metabolism during hypoxia and rescuing cardiomyocytes from hypoxic damage. SAL promoted cell proliferation, decreased apoptosis and increased Ca2+ levels in cell membranes of hypoxic cardiomyocytes. TMT proteomics results showed that the expression levels of intracellular hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF)-1α and Egl-9 family HIF 1 (EGLN1) in H9C2 cells were elevated under hypoxic conditions. However, SAL significantly decreased expression levels of HIF-1α and EGLN1. SAL inhibited mitochondrial calcium overload in hypoxic cardiomyocytes and attenuated expression of hypoxia-associated factors. SAL exerted its rescue effect on hypoxic cardiomyocytes through the EGLN1/HIF-1α pathway, thereby suppressing cardiomyocyte apoptosis, improving mitochondrial energy metabolism efficiency and rescuing cardiomyocytes from hypoxic injury.

Hippocampal adaptation to high altitude: a neuroanatomic profile of hippocampal subfields in Tibetans and acclimatized Han Chinese residents. Front Neuroanat 2022; 16:999033.

Abstract
The hippocampus is highly plastic and vulnerable to hypoxia. However, it is unknown whether and how it adapts to chronic hypobaric hypoxia in humans. With a unique sample of Tibetans and acclimatized Han Chinese individuals residing on the Tibetan plateau, we aimed to build a neuroanatomic profile of the altitude-adapted hippocampus by measuring the volumetric differences in the whole hippocampus and its subfields. High-resolution T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was performed in healthy Tibetans (TH, n = 72) and healthy Han Chinese individuals living at an altitude of more than 3,500 m (HH, n = 27). In addition, healthy Han Chinese individuals living on a plain (HP, n = 72) were recruited as a sea-level reference group. Whereas the total hippocampal volume did not show a significant difference across groups when corrected for age, sex, and total intracranial volume, subfield-level differences within the hippocampus were found. Post hoc analyses revealed that Tibetans had larger core hippocampal subfields (bilateral CA3, right CA4, right dentate gyrus); a larger right hippocampus–amygdala transition area; and smaller bilateral presubiculum, right subiculum, and bilateral fimbria, than Han Chinese subjects (HH and/or HP). The hippocampus and all its subfields were found to be slightly and non-significantly smaller in HH subjects than in HP subjects. As a primary explorational study, our data suggested that while the overall hippocampal volume did not change, the core hippocampus of Tibetans may have an effect of adaptation to chronic hypobaric hypoxia. However, this adaptation may have required generations rather than mere decades to accumulate in the population.

Parkinson's Disease rs117896735 Variant Regulates INPP5F Expression in Brain Tissues and Increases Risk of Alzheimer's Disease. J Alzheimers Dis 2022; 89:67-77.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both INPP5D and INPP5F are members of INPP5 family. INPP5F rs117896735 variant was associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) risk, and INPP5D was an Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk gene. However, it remains unclear about the roles of INPP5F rs117896735 variant in AD. OBJECTIVE We aim to investigate the roles of rs117896735 in AD. METHODS First, we conducted a candidate variant study to evaluate the association of rs117896735 variant with AD risk using the large-scale AD GWAS dataset. Second, we conducted a gene expression analysis of INPP5F to investigate the expression difference of INPP5F in different human tissues using two large-scale gene expression datasets. Third, we conducted an expression quantitative trait loci analysis to evaluate whether rs117896735 variant regulate the expression of INPP5F. Fourth, we explore the potentially differential expression of INPP5F in AD and control using multiple AD-control gene expression datasets in human brain tissues and whole blood. RESULTS We found that 1) rs117896735 A allele was associated with the increased risk of AD with OR = 1.15, 95% CI 1.005-1.315, p = 0.042; 2) rs117896735 A allele could increase INPP5F expression in multiple human tissues; 3) INPP5F showed different expression in different human tissues, especially in brain tissues; 4) INPP5F showed significant expression dysregulation in AD compared with controls in human brain tissues. CONCLUSION Conclusion: We demonstrate that PD rs117896735 variant could regulate INPP5F expression in brain tissues and increase the risk of AD. These finding may provide important information about the role of rs117896735 in AD.
