[PMID: 38657333 DOI: 10.1016/j.molimm.2024.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial cell injury and dysfunction lead to cholesterol and lipid accumulation and atherosclerotic plaque formation in the arterial wall during atherosclerosis (AS) progression, Ubiquitin-like containing PHD and RING finger domain 1 (UHRF1), a DNA methylation regulator, was strongly upregulated in atherosclerotic plaque lesions in mice. This study aimed to investigate the precise biological functions and regulatory mechanisms of UHRF1 on endothelial dysfunction during AS development. METHODS UHRF1 levels in the atherosclerotic plaque tissues and normal arterial intima from AS patients were tested with Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry assays. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) to induce an injury model and then transfected with short hairpin RNA targeting UHRF1 (sh-UHRF1). Cell proliferation, migration, apoptosis, the levels of inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and the protein levels adhesion molecules including vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were measured. Moreover, co-immunoprecipitation assay was used to determine the interactions between UHRF1 and DNA methyltransferases 1 (DNMT1), As well as mothers against DPP homolog 7 (SMAD7) and yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1). SMAD7 promoter methylation was examined with methylation-specific PCR. In addition, we established an AS mouse model to determine the in vivo effects of UHRF1 on AS progression. RESULTS UHRF1 was upregulated in atherosclerotic plaque tissues and ox-LDL-treated HUVECs. UHRF1 knockdown mitigated ox-LDL-induced proliferation and migration inhibition, apoptosis and the production of TNF-α, IL-6, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 in HUVECs. Mechanistically, UHRF1 promoted DNMT1-mediated SMAD7 promoter methylation and inhibited its expression. SMAD7 knockdown abolished the protective effects of UHRF1 knockdown on ox-LDL-induced HUVEC injury. Moreover, SMAD7 interacted with YAP1 and inhibited YAP1 expression by promoting YAP1 protein ubiquitination-independent degradation in HUVECs. YAP1 overexpression abrogated SMAD7 overexpression-mediated protective effects on ox-LDL-induced HUVEC injury. Finally, UHRF1 knockdown alleviated atherosclerotic plaque deposition and arterial lesions in AS mice. CONCLUSION UHRF1 inhibition mitigates vascular endothelial cell injury and ameliorates AS progression in mice by regulating the SMAD7/YAP1 axis.

Abstract
Numerous biological processes and diseases are influenced by lipid composition. Advances in lipidomics are elucidating their roles, but analyzing and interpreting lipidomics data at the systems level remain challenging. To address this, we present iLipidome, a method for analyzing lipidomics data in the context of the lipid biosynthetic network, thus accounting for the interdependence of measured lipids. iLipidome enhances statistical power, enables reliable clustering and lipid enrichment analysis, and links lipidomic changes to their genetic origins. We applied iLipidome to investigate mechanisms driving changes in cellular lipidomes following supplementation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and successfully identified the genetic causes of alterations. We further demonstrated how iLipidome can disclose enzyme-substrate specificity and pinpoint prospective glioblastoma therapeutic targets. Finally, iLipidome enabled us to explore underlying mechanisms of cardiovascular disease and could guide the discovery of early lipid biomarkers. Thus, iLipidome can assist researchers studying the essence of lipidomic data and advance the field of lipid biology.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stands as a formidable global health challenge due to its prevalence, marked by high mortality and morbidity rates. This cancer type exhibits a multifaceted etiology, prominently linked to viral infections, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and genomic mutations. The inherent heterogeneity of HCC, coupled with its proclivity for developing drug resistance, presents formidable obstacles to effective therapeutic interventions. Autophagy, a fundamental catabolic process, plays a pivotal role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, responding to stressors such as nutrient deprivation. In the context of HCC, tumor cells exploit autophagy, either augmenting or impeding its activity, thereby influencing tumorigenesis. This comprehensive review underscores the dualistic role of autophagy in HCC, acting as both a pro-survival and pro-death mechanism, impacting the trajectory of tumorigenesis. The anti-carcinogenic potential of autophagy is evident in its ability to enhance apoptosis and ferroptosis in HCC cells. Pertinently, dysregulated autophagy fosters drug resistance in the carcinogenic context. Both genomic and epigenetic factors can regulate autophagy in HCC progression. Recognizing the paramount importance of autophagy in HCC progression, this review introduces pharmacological compounds capable of modulating autophagy-either inducing or inhibiting it, as promising avenues in HCC therapy.

Abstract
Aims: Although there is evidence that patients with stroke who exercise regularly before stroke have a better prognosis than those who do not exercise, the detailed mechanism remains unclear. Moreover, neuronal death plays a central role in neurological dysfunction caused by ischemic stroke. Thus, we investigated whether exercise could reduce stroke-induced neuronal death and its associated mediators in the current study. Results: Ferroptosis was the most dominant form of programmed cell death in neurons. Preconditioning exercise before stroke improved the neurological function and decreased the infarct area in rats with ischemic stroke. Preconditioning exercise attenuated stroke-induced ferroptosis by reducing lipid peroxidation (LPO) production, upregulating glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), and downregulating acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4). High-throughput sequencing and dual luciferase reporter assays revealed that exercise-induced exosomal miR-484 inhibits Acsl4 expression. Moreover, we showed that exercise-induced exosomal miR-484 is mainly derived from skeletal muscle, and the neuroprotective effect of preconditioning exercise is suppressed by inhibiting miR-484 production in skeletal muscle. Innovation: This study suggested that neuronal ferroptosis is the most dominant form of programmed cell death in a hypoxic environment. Moreover, we showed that the ferroptosis pathway is a potential therapeutic target in ischemic stroke and that preconditioning exercise could be an effective antioxidant intervention for cerebral ischemia. Conclusion: Our work revealed that preconditioning exercise before stroke exerts neuroprotective effects against brain ischemia by skeletal muscle-derived exosomal miR-484 via inhibiting ferroptosis.

Abstract
It is well-known that aqueous dispersions of phospholipids spontaneously assemble into bilayer structures. These structures have numerous applications across chemistry and materials science and form the fundamental structural unit of the biological membrane. The particular environment of the lipid bilayer, with a water-poor low dielectric core surrounded by a more polar and better hydrated interfacial region, gives the membrane particular biophysical and physicochemical properties and presents a unique environment for chemical reactions to occur. Many different types of molecule spanning a range of sizes, from dissolved gases through small organics to proteins, are able to interact with membranes and promote chemical changes to lipids that subsequently affect the physicochemical properties of the bilayer. This Review describes the chemical reactivity exhibited by lipids in their membrane form, with an emphasis on conditions where the lipids are well hydrated in the form of bilayers. Key topics include the following: lytic reactions of glyceryl esters, including hydrolysis, aminolysis, and transesterification; oxidation reactions of alkenes in unsaturated fatty acids and sterols, including autoxidation and oxidation by singlet oxygen; reactivity of headgroups, particularly with reactive carbonyl species; and E/Z isomerization of alkenes. The consequences of reactivity for biological activity and biophysical properties are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, noninvasive imaging techniques and circulating biomarkers are still insufficient to accurately assess carotid plaque stability, and an in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanisms that contribute to plaque instability is still lacking. METHODS We established a clinical study cohort containing 182 patients with carotid artery stenosis. After screening, 39 stable and 49 unstable plaques were included in the discovery group, and quantitative proteomics analysis based on data independent acquisition was performed for these plaque samples. Additionally, 35 plaques were included in the validation group to validate the proteomics results by immunohistochemistry analysis. RESULTS A total of 397 differentially expressed proteins were identified in stable and unstable plaques. These proteins are primarily involved in ferroptosis and lipid metabolism-related functions and pathways. Plaque validation results showed that ferroptosis- and lipid metabolism-related proteins had different expression trends in stable plaques versus unstable fibrous cap regions and lipid core regions. Ferroptosis- and lipid metabolism-related mechanisms in plaque stability were discussed. CONCLUSIONS Our results may provide a valuable strategy for revealing the mechanisms affecting plaque stability and will facilitate the discovery of specific biomarkers to broaden the therapeutic scope.

Abstract
Dysregulation of iron homeostasis causes iron-mediated cell death, recently described as ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is reported in many chronic diseases, such as hepatic cancer, renal, and cardiovascular diseases (heart failure, atherosclerosis). However, there is a notable scarcity of research studies in the existing literature that explore treatments capable of preventing ferroptosis. Additionally, as far as the author is aware, there is currently no established model for studying ferroptosis within cardiovascular cells, which would be essential for assessing metal-chelating molecules with the potential ability to inhibit ferroptosis and their application in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, a smooth muscle cell-based ferroptosis model is developed upon the inhibition of the system Xc- transporter by erastin associated or not with Fe(III) overload, and its rescue upon the introduction of well-known iron chelators, deferoxamine and deferiprone. We showed that erastin alone decreased the intracellular concentration of glutathione (GSH) without affecting peroxidized lipid concentrations. Erastin with ferric citrate was able to decrease intracellular GSH and induce lipid peroxidation after overnight incubation. Only deferiprone was able to rescue the cells from ferroptosis by decreasing lipid peroxidation via iron ion chelation in a 3:1 molar ratio.

Abstract
Metabolic disorders of cardiomyocytes play an important role in the progression of various cardiovascular diseases. Metabolic reprogramming can provide ATP to cardiomyocytes and protect them during diseases, but this transformation also leads to adverse consequences such as oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and eventually aggravates myocardial injury. Moreover, abnormal accumulation of metabolites induced by metabolic reprogramming of cardiomyocytes alters the cardiac microenvironment and affects the metabolism of immune cells. Immunometabolism, as a research hotspot, is involved in regulating the phenotype and function of immune cells. After myocardial injury, both cardiac resident immune cells and heart-infiltrating immune cells significantly contribute to the inflammation, repair and remodeling of the heart. In addition, metabolites generated by the metabolic reprogramming of immune cells can further affect the microenvironment, thereby affecting the function of cardiomyocytes and other immune cells. Therefore, metabolic reprogramming and abnormal metabolite levels may serve as a bridge between cardiomyocytes and immune cells, leading to the development of cardiovascular diseases. Herein, we summarize the metabolic relationship between cardiomyocytes and immune cells in cardiovascular diseases, and the effect on cardiac injury, which could be therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular diseases, especially in drug research.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Regulated cell death is a controlled form of cell death that protects cells by adaptive responses in pathophysiological states. Ferroptosis has been identified as a novel method of controlling cell death in recent years. Several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are shown to be profoundly influenced by ferroptosis, and ferroptosis is directly linked to the majority of cardiovascular pathological alterations. Despite this, it is still unclear how ferroptosis affects the pathogenic alterations that take place in CVDs. Based on a review of the mechanisms that regulate ferroptosis, this review explores the most recent research on the role of ferroptosis in the major pathological changes associated with CVDs, to provide new perspectives and strategies for cardiovascular research and clinical treatment.

Abstract
Noncoding RNAs have recently emerged as versatile regulators of endothelial dysfunction in atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of plaques within the arterial walls. Through their ability to modulate gene expression, noncoding RNAs, including microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and circular RNAs, play crucial roles in various cellular processes involved in endothelial dysfunction (ECD), such as inflammation, pyroptosis, migration, proliferation, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and angiogenesis. This review provides an overview of the current understanding of the regulatory roles of noncoding RNAs in endothelial dysfunction during atherosclerosis. It highlights the specific noncoding RNAs that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ECD, their target genes, and the mechanisms by which they contribute to ECD. Furthermore, we have reviewed the current therapeutics in atherosclerosis and explore their interaction with noncoding RNAs. Understanding the intricate regulatory network of noncoding RNAs in ECD may open up new opportunities for the development of novel therapeutic strategies to combat ECD.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered type of cell death mainly triggered by uncontrolled lipid peroxidation, and it could potentially have a significant impact on the development and progression of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Our project aims to identify and validate potential genes related to ferroptosis in TOF. We obtained sequencing data of TOF from the GEO database and ferroptosis-related genes from the ferroptosis database. We employed bioinformatics methods to analyze the differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and microRNAs between the normal control group and TOF group and identify DEmRNAs related to ferroptosis. Protein-protein interaction analysis was conducted to screen hub genes. Furthermore, a miRNA-mRNA-TF co-regulatory network was constructed to utilize prediction software. The expression of hub genes was further validated through quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). After conducting the differential gene analysis, we observed that in TOF, 41 upregulated mRNAs and three downregulated mRNAs associated with ferroptosis genes were found. Further Gene Ontology/Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis revealed that these genes were primarily involved in molecular functions and biological processes related to chemical stress, oxidative stress, cellular response to starvation, response to nutrient levels, cellular response to external stimulus, and cellular response to extracellular stimulus. Furthermore, we constructed a miRNA-mRNA-TF co-regulatory network. qRT-PCR analysis of the right ventricular tissues from human cases showed an upregulation in the mRNA levels of KEAP1 and SQSTM1. Our bioinformatics analysis successfully identified 44 potential genes that are associated with ferroptosis in TOF. This finding significantly contributes to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of TOF. Moreover, these findings have the potential to open new avenues for the development of innovative therapeutic approaches for the treatment of this condition.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS), a category of cardiovascular disease (CVD) that can cause other more severe disabilities, increasingly jeopardizes human health. Owing to its imperceptible and chronic symptoms, it is hard to determine the pathogenesis and precise therapeutics for AS. A novel type of programmed cell death called ferroptosis was discovered in recent years that is distinctively different from other traditional cell death pathways in morphological and biochemical aspects. Characterized by iron overload, redox disequilibrium, and accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides (L-OOH), ferroptosis influences endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and macrophages, as well as inflammation, partaking in the pathology of many cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, stroke, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and heart failure. The mechanisms behind ferroptosis are so sophisticated and interwoven that many molecules involved in this procedure are unknown. This review systematically depicts the initiation and modulation of ferroptosis and summarizes the contribution of ferroptosis to AS, which may open a feasible approach for target treatment in the alleviation of AS progression.

[PMID: 37647712 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2023.108567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Isthmin-1 (Ism-1) is a newly identified insulin-like adipokine that increases glucose uptake by adipocytes and inhibits hepatic lipid synthesis. Recent studies have shown that Ism-1 can improve the metabolic disorders associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and improve lipid metabolism. The classic function of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is to transport cholesterol from extra-hepatic tissues to the liver for metabolism. In contrast, disorders of lipid metabolism and inflammation are the leading causes of atherosclerosis (As). Atherosclerosis often manifests as loss of elasticity, lipid accumulation, fibrous tissue proliferation and calcium deposits in the affected arteries, eventually forming plaques. AIM To illustrate the correlation between HDL-C and Ism-1 in T2DM, and the relationship between lipoprotein cholesterol and carotid plaque. METHODS A total of 128 patients with T2DM were enrolled in the study and basic information was collected. HDL-C levels were measured chemically. Serum Ism-1 levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Linear regression analysis was used to assess the correlation between serum Ism-1 levels and HDL-C in patients with T2DM. Basic information was again collected from 226 patients with T2DM. Independent sample t-tests were performed to explore the relationship between carotid plaque formation and lipids. RESULTS HDL-C was divided into four groups according to quartiles and there was a between-group difference in Ism-1 (p = 0.040). Multivariable linear regression showed a negative association between Ism-1 and HDL-C in T2DM (β = -0.235, p < 0.001), even after adjusting for related factors (β = -0.165, p = 0.009). Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and HDL-C showed significant differences between the carotid plaque group and the non-carotid plaque group (pLDL-C = 0.007, pHDL-C = 0.003). CONCLUSION Serum Ism-1 and HDL-C are negatively correlated in T2DM. LDL-C is significantly higher in carotid plaque group than non-carotid plaque group, while HDL-C is significantly lower than in the non-carotid plaque group.

Abstract
Objective Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a condition described as the inability to control or stop alcohol consumption. The patients with AUD have an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis-related diseases. The present study aimed to evaluate oxidative contributors of atherosclerotic risk factors in patients with AUD. Methods The male subjects diagnosed with AUD (n = 45) and the male subjects as control (n = 35) were enrolled in this study. All participants were undergone psychiatric evaluation and sociodemographic tests. Also, serum oxidative contributors of atherosclerosis including myeloperoxidase (MPO), ferroxidase, catalase (CAT), and lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH) were measured. Additionally, serum lipid profile tests and atherogenic indicators including atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) and non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol were also analyzed. Results The AUD subject had significantly elevated MPO activity and LOOH levels with decreased antioxidant capacity. AIP and non-HDL cholesterol levels, the atherogenic indicators, were also higher in AUD group compared to the control group. We found the MPO activity and LOOH levels were positively correlated with AIP, non-HDL cholesterol levels, and amount of alcohol consumption. Additionally, CAT activity was negatively correlated with duration of alcohol consumption. Conclusion Our results revealed that MPO and LOOH levels were elevated by severe alcohol intake and the atherogenic indicators, AIP and non-HDL cholesterol, were significantly correlated alcohol induced elevated oxidative risk factors. Therefore, it can be suggested that MPO activity and LOOH levels may be useful to determine jeopardy of atherosclerotic and the therapeutic interventions that reduce oxidative load could be taken into account to prevent atherosclerotic diseases before clinical manifestation.

Elevated phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (GPX4) expression modulates oxylipin formation and inhibits age-related skeletal muscle atrophy and weakness. Redox Biol 2023; 64:102761.

Abstract
Our previous studies support a key role for mitochondrial lipid hydroperoxides as important contributors to denervation-related muscle atrophy, including muscle atrophy associated with aging. Phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is an essential antioxidant enzyme that directly reduces phospholipid hydroperoxides and we previously reported that denervation-induced muscle atrophy is blunted in a mouse model of GPX4 overexpression. Therefore, the goal of the present study was to determine whether GPX4 overexpression can reduce the age-related increase in mitochondrial hydroperoxides in skeletal muscle and ameliorate age-related muscle atrophy and weakness (sarcopenia). Male C57Bl6 WT and GPX4 transgenic (GPX4Tg) mice were studied at 3 to 5 and 23-29 months of age. Basal mitochondrial peroxide generation was reduced by 34% in muscle fibers from aged GPX4Tg compared to old WT mice. GPX4 overexpression also reduced levels of lipid peroxidation products: 4-HNE, MDA, and LOOHs by 38%, 32%, and 84% respectively in aged GPX4Tg mice compared to aged WT mice. Muscle mass was preserved in old GPX4 Tg mice by 11% and specific force generation was 21% higher in old GPX4Tg versus age matched male WT mice. Oxylipins from lipoxygenases (LOX) and cyclooxygenase (COX), as well as less abundant non-enzymatically generated isomers, were significantly reduced by GPX4 overexpression. The expression of cPLA2, 12/15-LOX and COX-2 were 1.9-, 10.5- and 3.4-fold greater in old versus young WT muscle respectively, and 12/15-LOX and COX-2 levels were reduced by 37% and 35%, respectively in muscle from old GPX4Tg mice. Our study suggests that lipid peroxidation products may play an important role in the development of sarcopenia, and their detoxification might be an effective intervention in preventing muscle atrophy.

Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a mitochondrial enzyme involved in the detoxification of alcohol-derived acetaldehyde and endogenous aldehydes. The inactivating ALDH2 rs671 polymorphism, present in up to 8% of the global population and in up to 50% of the East Asian population, is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular conditions such as coronary artery disease, alcohol-induced cardiac dysfunction, pulmonary arterial hypertension, heart failure and drug-induced cardiotoxicity. Although numerous studies have attributed an accumulation of aldehydes (secondary to alcohol consumption, ischaemia or elevated oxidative stress) to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), this accumulation alone does not explain the emerging protective role of ALDH2 rs671 against ageing-related cardiac dysfunction and the development of aortic aneurysm or dissection. ALDH2 can also modulate risk factors associated with atherosclerosis, such as cholesterol biosynthesis and HDL biogenesis in hepatocytes and foam cell formation and efferocytosis in macrophages, via non-enzymatic pathways. In this Review, we summarize the basic biology and the clinical relevance of the enzymatic and non-enzymatic, tissue-specific roles of ALDH2 in CVD, and discuss the future directions in the research and development of therapeutic strategies targeting ALDH2. A thorough understanding of the complex roles of ALDH2 in CVD will improve the diagnosis, management and prognosis of patients with CVD who harbour the ALDH2 rs671 polymorphism.

Abstract
Storage proteins from Sphenostylis stenocarpa and Phaseolus lunatus were fractionated, and their in vitro bioactivities were investigated. Albumin, globulin, prolamin, and glutelin constituents of the respective seeds were successively fractionated using the modified Osborne method. Phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (1 mM) was used as a protease inhibitor. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and acetylcholinesterase-inhibitory activities of the protein fractions were evaluated using different appropriate techniques. Globulin was the predominant fraction, with a yield of 43.21±0.01% and 48.19±0.03% for S. stenocarpa and P. lunatus, respectively, whereas prolamin was not detected in both seeds. The protein fraction markedly scavenges hydroxyl radicals, nitric oxide radicals, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryldydrazyl radicals with concomitant high free radical-reducing power. Albumin and globulin fractions elicited the highest acetylcholinesterase-inhibitory potential of 48.75% and 49.75%, respectively, indicating their great application potential in managing neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, the albumin, globulin, and glutelin fractions of these underutilized legumes showed great analeptic bioactivities, which could be utilized as health-promoting dietary supplements/products.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major contributor to increasing morbidity and mortality worldwide and seriously threatens human health and life. Cardiomyocyte death is considered the pathological basis of various CVDs, including myocardial infarction, heart failure, and aortic dissection. Multiple mechanisms, such as ferroptosis, necrosis, and apoptosis, contribute to cardiomyocyte death. Among them, ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death that plays a vital role in various physiological and pathological processes, from development and aging to immunity and CVD. The dysregulation of ferroptosis has been shown to be closely associated with CVD progression, yet its underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. In recent years, a growing amount of evidence suggests that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), particularly microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, are involved in the regulation of ferroptosis, thus affecting CVD progression. Some ncRNAs also exhibit potential value as biomarker and/or therapeutic target for patients with CVD. In this review, we systematically summarize recent findings on the underlying mechanisms of ncRNAs involved in ferroptosis regulation and their role in CVD progression. We also focus on their clinical applications as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets in CVD treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various kidney diseases such as acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, polycystic kidney disease, renal cancer, and kidney stones, are an important part of the global burden, bringing a huge economic burden to people around the world. Ferroptosis is a type of nonapoptotic iron-dependent cell death caused by the excess of iron-dependent lipid peroxides and accompanied by abnormal iron metabolism and oxidative stress. Over the past few decades, several studies have shown that ferroptosis is associated with many types of kidney diseases. Studying the mechanism of ferroptosis and related agonists and inhibitors may provide new ideas and directions for the treatment of various kidney diseases. SUMMARY In this review, we discuss the differences between ferroptosis and other types of cell death such as apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, cuprotosis, pathophysiological features of the kidney, and ferroptosis-induced kidney injury. We also provide an overview of the molecular mechanisms involved in ferroptosis and events that lead to ferroptosis. Furthermore, we summarize the possible clinical applications of this mechanism among various kidney diseases. KEY MESSAGE The current research suggests that future therapeutic efforts to treat kidney ailments would benefit from a focus on ferroptosis.

Abstract
The annual incidence of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), osteoporosis, and atherosclerosis (AS) is increasing, resulting in a heavy burden on human health and the social economy. Ferroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, which was discovered in recent years. Emerging evidence has suggested that ferroptosis contributes to the development of metabolic diseases. Here, we summarize the mechanisms and molecular signaling pathways involved in ferroptosis. Then we discuss the role of ferroptosis in metabolic diseases. Finally, we analyze the potential of targeting ferroptosis as a promising therapeutic approach for metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are natural polymers with ketone or aldehyde groups that are widely found in plants, animals, and microorganisms. They exhibit various biological activities and have potential development value in the food and pharmaceutical fields. Ferroptosis is a recently discovered modality that modulates cell death and has attracted considerable attention because it is considered to be involved in many pathophysiological processes. The inhibition of ferroptosis by reducing intracellular iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation may provide potential protective strategies against related pathologies. Ferroptosis is also involved in the physiological activities of polysaccharides, and its regulatory mechanism varies according to different physiological activities. However, a systematic summary on the involvement of ferroptosis in the physiological activities of polysaccharides is currently lacking. Therefore, this review systematically summarized the relationship between the physiological activities of polysaccharides and ferroptosis and focused on the regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis, with respect to the anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory activities of all polysaccharides. The primary objective was to find new polysaccharide-related therapeutic breakthroughs for related diseases and to provide a reference for further research on polysaccharides-based therapeutics.

Combined analysis of plasma metabolome and intestinal microbiome sequencing to explore jiashen prescription and its potential role in changing intestine–heart axis and effect on chronic heart failure. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1147438.

Abstract
BackgroundHeart failure (HF) is a syndrome with global clinical and socioeconomic burden worldwide owing to its poor prognosis. Jiashen Prescription (JSP), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, exhibits unambiguous effects on treating HF. Previously, we have reported that underlying mechanisms of JSP by an untargeted metabolomics approach, but the contribution of gut microbiota and metabolic interaction to the cardioprotective efficacy of JSP remains to be elucidated.Materials and methodsFirstly, the rat model of heart failure was established by the permanent ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The efficacy evaluation of JSP in treating HF rats was per-formed by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Then, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and LC/MS-based metabolomic analysis were utilized to explore the characteristics of cecal-contents microecology and plasma metabolic profile, respectively. After that, the correlation between intestinal micro-ecological characteristics and plasma metabolic characteristics was analyzed to explore the potential mechanism of the JSP treatment in HF.ResultsJSP could improve the cardiac function of heart failure rats and thus ameliorate heart failure via enhancing rat LVEF. Results of intestinal flora analysis revealed that JSP not only adjusted gut microbiota disturbances by enriching species diversity, reducing the abundance of pathogenic bacteria (such as Allobaculum, Brevinema), as well as increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria (such as Lactobacillus, Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group), but also improved metabolic disorders by reversing metabolite plasma levels to normality. Through the conjoint analysis of 8 metabolites and the OTUs relative abundance data in the 16srRNA sequencing results by WGCNA method, 215 floras significantly related to the eight compounds were identified. The results of the correlation analysis demonstrated a significant association between intestinal microbiota and plasma metabolic profile, especially the significant correlation of Ruminococcaceae_UCG-014 and Protoporphyrin IX, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-005, Christensenellaceae_R-7_group and nicotinamide, dihydrofolic acid.ConclusionThe present study illustrated the underlying mechanism of JSP to treat heart failure by affecting intestinal flora and plasma metabolites, provide a potential therapeutic strategy against heart failure.

Abstract
One in every three deaths worldwide is caused by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), estimating a total of 17.9 million deaths annually. By 2030, it is expected that more than 24 million people will die from CVDs related complications. The most common CVDs are coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, and hypertension. A plethora of studies has shown inflammation causing both short-term and long-term damage to the tissues in many organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. In parallel to inflammation processes, it has been discovered that apoptosis, a mode of programmed cell death, may also contribute to CVD development due to the loss of cardiomyocytes. Terpenophenolic compounds are comprised of terpenes and natural phenols as secondary metabolites by plants and are commonly found in the genus Humulus and Cannabis. A growing body of evidence has shown that terpenophenolic compounds exhibit protective properties against inflammation and apoptosis within the cardiovascular system. This review highlights the current evidence elucidating the molecular actions of terpenophenolic compounds in protecting the cardiovascular system, i.e., bakuchiol, ferruginol, carnosic acid, carnosol, carvacrol, thymol and hinokitiol. The potential of these compounds is discussed as the new nutraceutical drugs that may help to decrease the burden of cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is the result of an imbalance between the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the levels of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. The assessment of biological redox status is performed by the use of oxidative stress biomarkers. An oxidative stress biomarker is defined as any physical structure or process or chemical compound that can be assessed in a living being (in vivo) or in solid or fluid parts thereof (in vitro), the determination of which is a reproducible and reliable indicator of oxidative stress. The use of oxidative stress biomarkers allows early identification of the risk of developing diseases associated with this process and also opens up possibilities for new treatments. At the end of the last century, interest in oxidative stress biomarkers began to grow, due to evidence of the association between the generation of free radicals and various pathologies. Up to now, a significant number of studies have been carried out to identify and apply different oxidative stress biomarkers in clinical practice. Among the most important oxidative stress biomarkers, it can be mentioned the products of oxidative modifications of lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, and uric acid as well as the measurement of the total antioxidant capacity of fluids in the human body. In this review, we aim to present recent advances and current knowledge on the main biomarkers of oxidative stress, including the discovery of new biomarkers, with emphasis on the various reproductive complications associated with variations in oxidative stress levels.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Myocardial infarction (MI) results in cardiac damage due to cell death and insufficient cardiomyocyte self-renewal. Ferroptosis, a novel type of cell death, has recently been shown as a key cause of cardiomyocyte death after MI. However, the complicated regulation mechanisms involved in ferroptosis, especially how ferroptosis is integrated into classical cell survival/death pathways, are still unclear. Here, we discovered that HIP-55, a novel adaptor protein, acts as a hub protein for the integration of the ferroptosis mechanism into the classical AKT cell survival and MAP4K1 cell death pathways for MI injury. The expression of HIP-55 is induced in MI. Genetic deletion of HIP-55 increased cardiomyocyte ferroptosis and MI injury, whereas cardiac-specific overexpression of HIP-55 significantly alleviated cardiomyocyte ferroptosis and MI injury. Mechanistically, HIP-55 was identified as a new AKT substrate. AKT phosphorylates HIP-55 at S269/T291 sites and further HIP-55 directs AKT signaling to negatively regulate the MAP4K1 pathway against MI injury in a site-specific manner. S269A/T291A-mutated HIP-55 (HIP-55AA), which is defective in AKT phosphorylation and significantly decreases the interaction between HIP-55 and MAP4K1, failed to inhibit the MAP4K1/GPX4 ferroptosis pathway. In line with this mechanism, cardiac-specific overexpression of HIP-55WT mice, but not cardiac-specific overexpression of HIP-55AA mice, protected cardiomyocytes against MI-induced ferroptosis and cardiac injury in vivo. These findings suggest that HIP-55 rewired the classical AKT (cell survival) and MAPK (cell death) pathways into ferroptosis mechanism in MI injury. HIP-55 may be a new therapeutic target for myocardial damage.

Abstract
Iron-dependent accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation play key roles in ferroptosis, which has been an attractive strategy to kill tumor cells. However, the rapid annihilation of hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) produced from the Fenton reaction has become a major obstacle in inducing lipid peroxidation in cells. In this study, we develop a nano-delivery system of unsaturated phospholipid (Lip) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) functionalized FeOCl nanosheets (FeOCl@PAA-Lip). In this system, the ˙OH radicals produced from the Fenton reaction between FeOCl nanosheets and endogenous H2O2 of tumor cells attack Lip on the nanosheets in situ to initiate the lipid peroxidation chain reaction, which not only realizes free radical conversion but also leads to the amplification of ROS and lipid peroxides, thus enhancing tumor ferroptosis. The in vitro and in vivo results confirmed that FeOCl@PAA-Lip nanosheets exhibited specific tumor cell-killing effects, good biocompatibility, long circulation time, low side effects, high tumor targeting and an excellent tumor inhibition rate (73%). The Lip functionalization strategy offers a paradigm of enhancing ferroptosis treatment by conversion of ˙OH/phospholipid radicals/lipid peroxyl radicals and strengthening lipid peroxidation.

Implications of Inflammatory and Oxidative Stress Markers in the Attenuation of Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dipping. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12041643.

Abstract
To date, no model has jointly encompassed clinical, inflammatory, and redox markers with the risk of a non-dipper blood pressure (BP) profile. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between these features and the main twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (24-h ABPM) indices, as well as to establish a multivariate model including inflammatory, redox, and clinical markers for the prediction of a non-dipper BP profile. This was an observational study that included hypertensive patients older than 18 years. We enrolled 247 hypertensive patients (56% women) with a median age of 56 years. The results showed that higher levels of fibrinogen, tissue polypeptide-specific antigen, beta-2-microglobulin, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and copper/zinc ratio were associated with a higher risk of a non-dipper BP profile. Nocturnal systolic BP dipping showed a negative correlation with beta-globulin, beta-2-microglobulin, and gamma-globulin levels, whereas nocturnal diastolic BP dipping was positively correlated with alpha-2-globulin levels, and negatively correlated with gamma-globulin and copper levels. We found a correlation between nocturnal pulse pressure and beta-2-microglobulin and vitamin E levels, whereas the day-to-night pulse pressure gradient was correlated with zinc levels. Twenty-four-hour ABPM indices could exhibit singular inflammatory and redox patterns with implications that are still poorly understood. Some inflammatory and redox markers could be associated with the risk of a non-dipper BP profile.

Abstract
Phthalates are widely used to improve the flexibility of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) polymer agriculture products. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a type of addition to plastic and can lead to many health problems. Hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an extremely important molecule that releases enzymatic products to promote ferroptosis. This research aimed to explore the function of HO-1 in DEHP-induced renal proximal tubule cell ferroptosis. In the experiment, ICR male mice are exposed to (0, 50, 200, and 500 mg/kg BW/day) DEHP for 28 days. Here, we observed that DEHP induced glomeruli atrophy and the tubules swell. Furthermore, DEHP exposure could increase ferrous iron content and decrease antioxidant activity. We also found that DEHP exposure increased the expression of nuclear factor-erythroid 2 p45-related factor 2 (NFE2L2) in the nucleus. In particular, the expression of (HO-1) is significantly increased both in protein and mRNA levels. Glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) as an endogenous control of ferroptosis was downregulated, which proved the occurrence of ferroptosis. In the study, exposure to DEHP activated the NFE2L2/HO-1 signaling pathway and resulted in ferroptosis of the proximal tubule. This research connects ferroptosis with HO-1, providing new insights into the potential roles of phthalates in nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Besides the clinically proven superior antimalarial activity, artemisinins (ARTs) are also associated with anticancer properties, albeit at much lower potency. Iron and heme have been proposed as possible activators of ARTs against cancer cells. Here we show that zinc protoporphyrin-9 (ZnPPIX), a heme homolog and a natural metabolite for heme synthesis during iron insufficiency, greatly enhanced the anticancer activity of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) in multiple cell lines. Using melanoma B16 and breast cancer 4T1 cells, we demonstrated ZnPPIX dramatically elevated intracellular free heme levels, accompanied by heightened reactive oxidative species (ROS) production. The tumor-suppression activity of ZnPPIX and DHA is mitigated by antioxidant vitamin E or membrane oxidation protectant ferrostatin. In vivo xenograft animal models confirmed that ZnPPIX significantly potentiated the tumor-inhibition capability of DHA while posing no apparent toxicity to the mice. The proliferating index and growth of tumors after the combinatory treatment of DHA and ZnPPIX were evidently reduced. Considering the clinical safety profiles of both DHA and ZnPPIX, their action synergy offers a promising strategy to improve the application of ARTs in our fight against cancer.

Abstract
Phthalates as a large group of environmental pollutants are used primarily as plasticizers and solvents, which have become a growing problem worldwide. Epidemiological results show that severity of heart disease is related to degree of environmental contamination. As the most usually used phthalate, di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) has toxic effects on organism health and is also a major cause of heart damage. Ingestion of food, liquid, or dust contaminated with DEHP are major routes of exposure. The purpose of the present research was to determine the mechanism of cardiotoxicity in mice after exposure to DEHP. Here, male mice were treated by gavage with three different doses of (50, 200 and 500 mg/kg b.w.) DEHP for 28 days. Our research showed that DEHP brought about histopathological changes involving cardiomyocyte lysis and rupture, and ultrastructural damage such as dissolution and loss of mitochondrial cristae. Furthermore, DEHP induced oxidative stress and a significant decline in the antioxidant function, which activates nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme-oxygense-1 (HO-1) signaling pathways. Interestingly, DEHP resulted in lipid peroxidation and increased ferrous ion content, suggesting that ferroptosis occurred in mouse hearts. Therefore, our findings demonstrated that DEHP could induce cardiac ferroptosis via upregulation of HO-1. The present study provides novel evidence of HO-1 as a target for DEHP-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Phycocyanin and allophycocyanin are important active substances in Arthrospira platensis, because of their fluorescent characteristic and antioxidant capacity. In order to solve the problem of insufficient production and inconvenient modification of natural protein, recombinant expression was performed and the fluorescence activity and antioxidant activity was analyzed to meet the demand for phycocyanin and allophycocyanin. A total of seven recombinant strains were constructed in this study, including individual phycocyanin or allophycocyanin, co-expression of phycocyanin-allophycocyanin, and their co-expression with chromophore, and the expression strain for individual chromophore. Different molecular weights of phycocyanin and allophycocyanin were detected in the recombinant strains, which indicated the different polymers expressed. Through mass spectrometry identification, phycocyanin and allophycocyanin may form a dimer of 66 kDa and a polymer of 300 kDa. The results of fluorescence detection showed that phycocyanin and allophycocyanin combined with phycocyanobilin to show fluorescence activity. The fluorescence peak of recombinant phycocyanin was mainly concentrated at 640 nm, which was similar to natural phycocyanin, the fluorescence peak of purified recombinant allophycocyanin was at about 642 nm. The fluorescence peak of the co-expressed recombinant phycocyanin-allophycocyanin is located at 640 nm, and the fluorescence intensity is between the recombinant phycocyanin and the recombinant allophycocyanin. After purification, the fluorescence peak of the recombinant phycocyanin is more concentrated and the fluorescence intensity is higher, which is about 1.3 times of recombinant phycocyanin-allophycocyanin, 2.8 times of recombinant allophycocyanin, indicating that phycocyanin may be more suitable to be used as fluorescence probe in medicine. The antioxidant capacity was measured by using total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and DPPH (2,2'-diphenyl-1-triphenylhydrazino) free radical scavenging method, and the recombinant phycobiliprotein showed antioxidant activity. Phycocyanobilin also has certain antioxidant activity and could enhance the antioxidant activity of phycobiliprotein to a certain extent. Recombinant phycocyanin-allophycocyanin polymer has stronger T-AOC, which is about 1.17-2.25 times that of the other five recombinant proteins. And recombinant phycocyanin has stronger DPPH antioxidant activity, which is about 1.2-2.5 times that of the other five recombinant proteins. This study laid the foundation for the application of recombinant phycocyanin and allophycocyanin in medical detection and drug development.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is one of the most abundant prostaglandins and has been implicated in various diseases. Here, we aimed to explore the role of the PGE2 pathway in mediating ferroptosis during acute kidney injury. When renal tubular epithelial cells stimulated by H2 O2 , the contents of glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) decreased, whereas the level of lipid peroxide increased. Ferrostatin-1 can effectively attenuate these changes. In this process, the expression levels of cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and COX-2 were up-regulated. Meanwhile, the expression of microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-2 was elevated, whereas the expression of microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 and cytosolic prostaglandin E synthase were down-regulated. Furthermore, the expression of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase decreased. An excessive accumulation of PGE2 promoted ferroptosis, whereas the PGE2 inhibitor pranoprofen minimized the changes for COX-2, GSH, GPX4 and lipid peroxides. A decrease in the levels of the PGE2 receptor E-series of prostaglandin 1/3 partially restored the decline of GSH and GPX4 levels and inhibited the aggravation of lipid peroxide. Consistent with the in vitro results, increased PGE2 levels led to increased levels of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, Fe2+ accumulation and decreased GSH and GPX4 levels during renal ischaemia/reperfusion injury injury in mice. Our results indicate that the PGE2 pathway mediated oxidative stress-induced ferroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), with high morbidity and mortality, seriously affect people's life and social development. Clinically, reperfusion therapy is typically used to treat ischemic cardiomyopathy, such as severe coronary heart disease and acute myocardial infarction. However, reperfusion therapy can lead to myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI), which can affect the prognosis of patients. Studying the mechanisms of MIRI can help us improve the treatment of MIRI. The pathological process of MIRI involves many mechanisms such as ferroptosis and mitophagy. Ferroptosis can exacerbate MIRI, and regulation of mitophagy can alleviate MIRI. Both ferroptosis and mitophagy are closely related to ROS, but there is no clear understanding of the relationship between ferroptosis and mitophagy. In this review, we analyzed the relationship between ferroptosis and mitophagy according to the role of mTOR, NLPR3 and HIF. In addition, simultaneous regulation of mitophagy and ferroptosis may be superior to single therapy for MIRI. We summarized potential drugs that can regulate mitophagy and/or ferroptosis, hoping to provide reference for the development of drugs and methods for MIRI treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The associations of homocysteine (Hcy) and gene-Hcy interactions with the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality remain unclear. METHODS A total of 19,826 middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults were included from the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort in 2013-2014 and were followed-up to 31 December 2018. Cox regression was used to examine the association between Hcy and mortality. We selected 18 well-established Hcy-associated genetic variants to constructed the weighted genetic risk score (GRS) among 15,434 participants with genetic data, and interactions between genetic susceptibility and Hcy on mortality were assessed. RESULTS After multivariate adjustment, elevated serum Hcy levels were associated with higher risk of mortality from all-cause, CVD, coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke, and cancer. We also observed a significant interaction between GRS and Hcy on CHD mortality. Moreover, the rs7130284 and rs957140 on NOX4 modified the association between Hcy and mortality from CVD and CHD, and rs154657 on DPEP1 modified the association between Hcy and CHD mortality. CONCLUSIONS Elevated Hcy levels were associated with increased risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality among middle-aged and elderly Chinese. Hcy-related genetic variants on NOX4 and DPEP1 might modify the associations of Hcy with CVD mortality or CHD mortality.

Abstract
Nowadays, as a type of orderly and active death determined by genes, programmed cell death (PCD), including apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and necroptosis, has attracted much attention owing to its participation in numerous chronic cardiovascular diseases, especially atherosclerosis (AS), a canonical chronic inflammatory disease featured by lipid metabolism disturbance. Abundant researches have reported that PCD under distinct internal conditions fulfills different roles of atherosclerotic pathological processes, including lipid core expansion, leukocyte adhesion, and infiltration. Noteworthy, emerging evidence recently has also suggested that oxidative stress (OS), an imbalance of antioxidants and oxygen free radicals, has the potential to mediate PCD occurrence via multiple ways, including oxidization and deubiquitination. Interestingly, more recently, several studies have proposed that the mediating mechanisms could effect on the atherosclerotic initiation and progression significantly from variable aspects, so it is of great clinical importance to clarify how OS-mediated PCD and AS interact. Herein, with the aim of summarizing potential and sufficient atherosclerotic therapy targets, we seek to provide extensive analysis of the specific regulatory mechanisms of PCD mediated by OS and their multifaceted effects on the entire pathological atherosclerotic progression.

Abstract
Background Solanum torvum Swartz, a medicinal plant belonging to the family Solanaceae, is an important medicinal plant widely distributed throughout the world and used as medicine to treat diabetes, hypertension, tooth decay, and reproductive problems in traditional systems of medicine around the world including Malaysia. The objective of this study was to investigate hypoglycemic, antilipidemic, and hepatoprotective activities, histopathology of the pancreas, and specific glucose regulating gene expression of the ethanolic extract of S. torvum fruit in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Sprague–Dawley rats. Materials and methods Acute toxicity study was done according to OECD-423 guidelines. Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of streptozotocin (55 mg/kg) in male Sprague–Dawley rats. Experimental diabetic rats were divided into six different groups; normal, diabetic control, and glibenclamide at 6 mg/kg body weight, and the other three groups of animals were treated with oral administration of ethanolic extract of S. torvum fruit at 120, 160, and 200 mg/kg for 28 days. The effect of ethanolic extract of S. torvum fruit on body weight, blood glucose, lipid profile, liver enzymes, histopathology of pancreas, and gene expression of glucose transporter 2 (slc2a2), and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK1) was determined by RT-PCR. Results Acute toxicity studies showed LD50 of ethanolic extract of S. torvum fruit to be at the dose of 1600 mg/kg body weight. Blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoproteins, very low-density lipoproteins, serum alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase were significantly reduced, whereas high-density lipoproteins were significantly increased in S. torvum fruit (200 mg/kg)-treated rats. Histopathological study of the pancreas showed an increase in number, size, and regeneration of β-cell of islets of Langerhans. Gene expression studies revealed the lower expression of slc2a2 and PCK1 in treated animals when compared to diabetic control. Conclusion Ethanolic extract of S. torvum fruits showed hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and hepatoprotective activity in streptozocin-induced diabetic rats. Histopathological studies revealed regeneration of β cells of islets of Langerhans. Gene expression studies indicated lower expression of slc2a2 and PCK1 in treated animals when compared to diabetic control, indicating that the treated animals prefer the gluconeogenesis pathway.

Abstract
Salted duck egg white contains many kinds of high quality protein, but it is often discarded as food factory waste because of high salinity and other reasons. The discarded salted duck egg white not only causes a waste of resources, but also causes environmental pollution. Using salted duck egg white as raw material, this study was completed to investigate the effects of three drying methods including freeze drying, vacuum drying, and spray drying on physicochemical and nutritional properties of protein powder from salted duck egg white. The results showed that the solubility, foaming and foaming stability, emulsification and emulsification stability of the protein peptide of salted duck egg white decreased to different degrees after drying. The scavenging rates of freeze-dried samples for superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical, and 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH·) reached 48.76, 85.03, and 80.17%, respectively. Freeze drying had higher scavenging rates than vacuum drying and spray drying. The results of electron microscopy showed that freeze-drying had the least effect on the structure of protein peptide powder of salted duck egg white. The purpose of this experiment was to provide theoretical guidance and technical support for industrial drying of salted duck egg white protein solution.

[PMID: 36277036 PMCID: PMC9586793 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9359429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 09/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Current research suggests that chronic high-fat dietary intake can lead to bone loss in adults; however, the mechanism by which high-fat diets affect the development of osteoporosis in individuals is unclear. As high-fat diets are strongly associated with ferroptosis, whether ferroptosis mediates high-fat diet-induced bone loss was the focus of our current study. By dividing the mice into a high-fat diet group, a high-fat diet + ferroptosis inhibitor group and a normal chow group, mice in the high-fat group were given a high-fat diet for 12 weeks. The mice in the high-fat diet + ferroptosis inhibitor group were given 1 mg/kg Fer-1 per day intraperitoneally at the start of the high-fat diet. Microscopic CT scans, histological tests, and biochemical indicators of ferroptosis were performed on bone tissue from all three groups at the end of the modelling period. Mc3t3-E1 cells were also used in vitro and divided into three groups: high-fat medium group, high-fat medium+ferroptosis inhibitor group, and control group. After 24 hours of incubation in high-fat medium, Mc3t3-E1 cells were assayed for ferroptosis marker proteins and biochemical parameters, and osteogenesis induction was performed simultaneously. Cellular alkaline phosphatase content and expression of osteogenesis-related proteins were measured at day 7 of osteogenesis induction. The results showed that a high-fat diet led to the development of femoral bone loss in mice and that this process could be inhibited by ferroptosis inhibitors. The high-fat diet mainly affected the number of osteoblasts produced in the bone marrow cavity. The high-fat environment in vitro inhibited osteoblast proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, and significant changes in ferroptosis-related biochemical parameters were observed. These findings have implications for the future clinical treatment of bone loss caused by high-fat diets.

J Cell Mol Med 2022; 26:5528-5538. [PMID: 36226351 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.17582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 09/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Acute liver failure (ALF) is life-threatening and often associated with high mortality rates. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether extracellular histone H3 could induce ferroptosis in hepatic macrophages in ALF and explore its potential mechanism. RAW264.7 macrophages and C57BL/6 mice were used in this study. LPS, D-galactosamine (D-Gal), histone H3, histone H3 antibody, NOD2 agonist Muramyl Dipeptide (MDP) and HDAC6-siRNA were administered in this study. The key molecules of ferroptosis, NOD2, HDAC6 and the NF-κb pathway, were detected. In vitro, histone H3 was released into the extracellular environment from cell nucleus after LPS exposure. In addition, histone H3 could induce ferroptosis in RAW264.7 macrophages with increased level of Fe2+ and ROS and decreased levels of GPX4 and GSH. MDP further aggravated ferroptosis in RAW264.7 macrophages stimulated by histone H3, which was accompanied by elevated NOD2, HDAC6, p-P65 and IκBα. HDAC6-siRNA ameliorated ferroptosis in RAW264.7 macrophages induced by histone H3, which was accompanied by decreased levels of HDAC6, p-P65 and IκBα. However, HDAC6-siRNA did not alter NOD2 levels in RAW264.7 macrophages administered histone H3. In vivo, the levels of NOD2, HDAC6 the NF-κb pathway and ferroptosis were increased in ALF mice, which were downregulated by histone H3 antibody and upregulated by histone H3. Extracellular histone H3 could induce ferroptosis in hepatic macrophages in ALF by regulating theNOD2-mediated HDAC6/NF-κb signalling pathway.

Protective effects of Salvianolic acid B on rat ferroptosis in myocardial infarction through upregulating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 112:109257.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has highlighted the role of ferroptosis, a novel type of programmed cell death involved in the pathological process of myocardial infarction (MI). However, the underlying mechanism of ferroptosis in mediating MI is complicated that needs to be further investigated. Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herb Salvia miltiorrhiza possesses pharmacological function against MI, which provides us with a new direction to explore the effect of Sal B on ferroptosis after myocardial ischemic injury. In the present study, iron accumulation and expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins in MI rats altered in a time-dependent manner. Importantly, treatment of ferroptosis inhibitors ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) or deferoxamine (DFO) reversed typical changes of ferroptosis, including iron overload, lipid peroxide accumulation, mitochondrial damage, and specific expression levels of ferroptosis-related proteins, thereby alleviating myocardial injury in rats. Similar results were observed in Sal B-treated MI rats in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, NFE2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) was strongly activated by the treatment of Sal B. In vivo knockdown of Nrf2 in MI rats enhanced ferroptosis and damaged the protective effect of Sal B on MI. Furthermore, Sal B administration was unable to significantly reverse expression levels of target genes of Nrf2 that were associated with iron homeostasis and oxidative stress (e.g., HO-1, xCT, Gpx4, Fth1, and Fpn1) in MI rats after knockdown of Nrf2. Taken together, Sal B contributed to protecting MI by inhibiting ferroptosis via activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Simple Summary In our study, the involvement of IDH1 in atherosclerotic foam cells was explored. Inhibiting macrophage ferroptosis and foam cell formation by knocking down IDH1 is a promising study direction for better understanding the occurrence and progression of atherosclerosis, as well as the treatment targets for atherosclerosis. Abstract A distinctive feature of ferroptosis is intracellular iron accumulation and the impairment of antioxidant capacity, resulting in a lethal accumulation of lipid peroxides leading to cell death. This study was conducted to determine whether inhibiting isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) may help to prevent foam cell formation by reducing oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced ferroptosis in macrophages and activating nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2). Gene expression profiling (GSE70126 and GSE70619) revealed 21 significantly different genes, and subsequent bioinformatics research revealed that ferroptosis and IDH1 play essential roles in foam cell production. We also confirmed that ox-LDL elevates macrophage ferroptosis and IDH1 protein levels considerably as compared with controls. Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1), a ferroptosis inhibitor, reduced ox-LDL-induced elevated Fe2+ levels, lipid peroxidation (LPO) buildup, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) buildup, glutathione (GSH) depletion, glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), ferritin heavy polypeptide 1 (FTH1), and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) protein downregulation. More crucially, inhibiting IDH1 reduced Fe2+ overload, lipid peroxidation, LDH, and glutathione depletion, and elevated GPX4, FTH1, and SLC7A11 protein expression, resulting in a reduction in ox-LDL-induced macrophage ferroptosis. IDH1 inhibition suppressed ox-LDL-induced macrophage damage and apoptosis while raising NRF2 protein levels. We have demonstrated that inhibiting IDH1 reduces ox-LDL-induced ferroptosis and foam cell formation in macrophages, implying that IDH1 may be an important molecule regulating foam cell formation and may be a promising molecular target for the treatment of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Objectives Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a cardiovascular disease with high mortality and pathogenesis closely related to various cell death types, e.g., autophagy, apoptosis and pyroptosis. However, the association between AAA and ferroptosis is unknown. Methods GSE57691 and GSE98278 dataset were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and a ferroptosis-related gene (FRG) set was downloaded from the FerrDb database. These data were normalized, and ferroptosis-related differentially expressed genes (FDEGs, AAA vs. normal samples) were identified using the limma package in R. FRGs expression was analyzed by Gene Set Expression Analysis (GSEA), and FDEGs were analyzed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses using the clusterProfiler package in R and ClueGO in Cytoscape. Protein–protein interaction networks were assembled using Cytoscape, and crucial FDEGs were identified using CytoHubba. Critical FDEG transcription factors (TFs) were predicted with iRegulon. FDEGs were verified in GSE98278 set, and key FDEGs in AAA (compared with normal samples) and ruptured AAA (RAAA; compared with AAA samples) were identified. Ferroptosis-related immune cell infiltration and correlations with key genes were analyzed by CIBERSORT. Key FEDGs were reverified in Ang II-induced AAA models of ApoE–/– and CD57B/6J mice by immunofluorescence assay. Results In AAA and normal samples, 40 FDEGs were identified, and the expression of suppressive FRGs was significantly downregulated with GSEA. For FDEGs, the GO terms were response to oxidative stress and cellular response to external stimulus, and the KEGG pathways were the TNF and NOD-like receptor signaling pathways. IL6, ALB, CAV1, PTGS2, NOX4, PRDX6, GPX4, HSPA5, HSPB1, and NCF2 were the most enriched genes in the crucial gene cluster. CEBPG, NFAT5, SOX10, GTF2IRD1, STAT1, and RELA were potential TFs affecting these crucial genes. Ferroptosis-related immune cells involved in AAA formation were CD8+ T, naive CD4+ T, and regulatory T cells (Tregs); M0 and M2 macrophages; and eosinophils. Tregs were also involved in RAAA. GPX4, SLC2A1, and PEBP1 expression was downregulated in both the RAAA and AAA samples. GPX4 and PEBP1 were more important in AAA because they influenced ferroptosis-related immune cell infiltration, and SLC2A1 was more important in RAAA. Conclusions This is the first study to show that ferroptosis is crucial to AAA/RAAA formation. The TNF and NOD-like signaling pathways and ferroptosis-related immune cell infiltration play key roles in AAA/RAAA. GPX4 is a key ferroptosis-related gene in AAA. Ferroptosis and related genes might be promising targets in the treatment of AAA/RAAA.

Abstract
Iron participates in myriad processes necessary to sustain life. During the past decades, great efforts have been made to understand iron regulation and function in health and disease. Indeed, iron is associated with both physiological (e.g., immune cell biology and function and hematopoiesis) and pathological (e.g., inflammatory and infectious diseases, ferroptosis and ferritinophagy) processes, yet few studies have addressed the potential functional link between iron, the aforementioned processes and extramedullary hematopoiesis, despite the obvious benefits that this could bring to clinical practice. Further investigation in this direction will shape the future development of individualized treatments for iron-linked diseases and chronic inflammatory disorders, including extramedullary hematopoiesis, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a recently discovered form of regulated cell death, implicated in multiple pathologies. Given that the toxicity elicited by some metals is linked to alterations in iron metabolism and induction of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, ferroptosis might be involved in such toxicity. Although direct evidence is insufficient, certain pioneering studies have demonstrated a crosstalk between metal toxicity and ferroptosis. Specifically, the mechanisms underlying metal-induced ferroptosis include induction of ferritinophagy, increased DMT-1 and TfR cellular iron uptake, mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mitoROS) generation, inhibition of Xc-system and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) activity, altogether resulting in oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. In addition, there is direct evidence of the role of ferroptosis in the toxicity of arsenic, cadmium, zinc, manganese, copper, and aluminum exposure. In contrast, findings on the impact of cobalt and nickel on ferroptosis are scant and nearly lacking altogether for mercury and especially lead. Other gaps in the field include limited studies on the role of metal speciation in ferroptosis and the critical cellular targets. Although further detailed studies are required, it seems reasonable to propose even at this early stage that ferroptosis may play a significant role in metal toxicity, and its modulation may be considered as a potential therapeutic tool for the amelioration of metal toxicity.

High Level of Uric Acid Promotes Atherosclerosis by Targeting NRF2-Mediated Autophagy Dysfunction and Ferroptosis. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:9304383.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. Hyperuricemia is the fourth risk factor for atherosclerosis after hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. The mechanism of hyperuricemia affecting the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis has not been fully elucidated. Mononuclear macrophages play critical roles in all stages of atherosclerosis. Studies have confirmed that both hyperuricemia and ferroptosis promote atherosclerosis, but whether high level of uric acid (HUA) promotes atherosclerosis by regulating ferroptosis in macrophages remains unclear. We found that HUA significantly promoted the development of atherosclerotic plaque and downregulated the protein level of the NRF2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway in ApoE−/− mice. Next, we evaluated the effect of HUA and ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) treatment on the formation of macrophage-derived foam cells. HUA promoted the formation of foam cells, decreased cell viability, and increased iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation in macrophages treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL); these effects were reversed by Fer-1 treatment. Mechanistically, HUA significantly inhibited autophagy and the protein level of the NRF2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway. Fer-1 activated autophagy and upregulated the level of ferroptosis-associated proteins. Moreover, an NRF2 inducer (tertbutyl hydroquinone (TBHQ)) and autophagy activator (rapamycin (RAPA)) could reverse the inhibitory effect of HUA on foam cell survival. Our results suggest that HUA-induced ferroptosis of macrophages is involved in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. More importantly, enhancing autophagy and inhibiting ferroptosis by activating NRF2 may alleviate HUA-induced atherosclerosis. These findings might contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of HUA in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and provide a therapeutic target for ASVD associated with hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are still a major cause of global mortality and disability, seriously affecting people’s lives. Due to the severity and complexity of these diseases, it is important to find new regulatory mechanisms to treat CVDs. Ferroptosis is a new kind of regulatory cell death currently being investigated. Increasing evidence showed that ferroptosis plays an important role in CVDs, such as in ischemia/reperfusion injury, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, and atherosclerosis. Protecting against CVDs by targeting ferroptosis is a promising approach; therefore, in this review, we summarized the latest regulatory mechanism of ferroptosis and the current studies related to each CVD, followed by critical perspectives on the ferroptotic treatment of CVDs and the future direction of this intriguing biology.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used for infectious diseases and feed additives for animal health and growth. Antibiotic resistant caused by overuse of antibiotics poses a global health threat. It is urgent to choose safe and environment-friendly alternatives to antibiotics to promote the ecological sustainable development of the pig industry. Phytochemicals are characterized by little residue, no resistance, and minimal side effects and have been reported to improve animal health and growth performance in pigs, which may become a promising additive in pig production. This paper summarizes the biological functions of recent studies of phytochemicals on growth performance, metabolism, antioxidative capacity, gut microbiota, intestinal mucosa barrier, antiviral, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, detoxification of mycotoxins, as well as their action mechanisms in pig production. The review may provide the theoretical basis for the application of phytochemicals functioning as alternative antibiotic additives in the pig industry.
