Abstract
Cultured meat technology is expected to solve problems such as resource shortages and environmental pollution, but the muscle fiber differentiation efficiency of cultured meat is low. Genipin is the active compound derived from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, which has a variety of activities. Additionally, genipin serves as a noncytotoxic agent for cross-linking, which is suitable as a foundational scaffold for in vitro tissue regeneration. However, the impact of genipin on myoblast differentiation remains to be studied. The research revealed that genipin was found to improve the differentiation efficiency of myoblasts. Genipin improved mitochondrial membrane potential by activating the AMPK signaling pathway of myoblasts, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, and mitochondrial network remodeling. Genipin activated autophagy in myoblasts and maintained cellular homeostasis. Autophagy inhibitors blocked the pro-differentiation effect of genipin. These results showed that genipin improved the differentiation efficiency of myoblasts, which provided a theoretical basis for the development of cultured meat technology.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2021; 57:medicina57080806.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is a well-recognised side effect of cancer-related therapies with a great impact on outcomes and quality of life in the cancer survivor population. The pathogenesis of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in patients with gastrointestinal cancers involves various molecular mechanisms, and the combined use of various chemotherapies augments the risk of each drug used alone. In terms of cardiotoxicity diagnosis, novel biomarkers, such as troponins, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), myeloperoxidases and miRNAs have been recently assessed. Echocardiography is a noninvasive imaging method of choice for the primary assessment of chemotherapy-treated patients to generally evaluate the cardiovascular impact of these drugs. Novel echocardiography techniques, like three-dimensional and stress echocardiography, will improve diagnosis efficacy. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can evaluate cardiac morphology, function and wall structure. Corroborated data have shown the importance of CMR in the early evaluation of patients with gastrointestinal cancers, treated with anticancer drugs, but further studies are required to improve risk stratification in these patients. In this article, we review some important aspects concerning the cardiotoxicity of antineoplastic drugs used in gastrointestinal cancers. We also discuss the mechanism of cardiotoxicity, the role of biomarkers and the imaging methods used in its detection.
