Abstract
We studied the effect of α2-adrenoreceptor activation after preliminary If-current blockade on the performance of the Langendorff-isolated rat heart 54 days after modeling myocardial infarction. Stimulation of α2-adrenoreceptors against the background of application of If blocker ZD7288 in concentrations of 10-9 and 10-5 M decreased myocardial inotropy in isolated rat hearts by 50 and 39% (p<0.05) and increased HR by 20 and 15% (p<0.05), respectively. Activation of α2-adrenoreceptors against the background of application of ZD7288 in a concentration of 10-9 and 10-5 M led to a decrease in the coronary flow in the isolated rat heart with the model of myocardial infarction by 21% (p<0.05) and 32% (p<0.05), respectively.

Abstract
Background: HF is a common complication of MI. The underlying mechanisms of myocardial fibrosis in HF after MI are incompletely defined. Here, this study aims to investigate the role of PTX3 KD in HF after MI. Methods: Bioinformatics analysis based on GSE86569 dataset was performed to explore the potential role of PTX3 in HF. Male C57/BL6J mice were administered with lentiviral vector encoding PTX3 KD or empty vector, and then underwent either coronary ligation or sham surgery. Echocardiography, Masson staining, and immunofluorescence counterstaining were conducted to evaluate the cardiac function and fibrosis. Cardiac fibroblasts were isolated and transfected with lentiviral vector encoding PTX3 KD in vitro to verify the in vivo findings. Results: Bioinformatics analysis based on GSE86569 revealed the aberrant expression of PTX3 in HF patients. Echocardiography showed that PTX3 KD reversed the HF-induced cardiac dysfunction with better cardiac function parameters. Masson staining demonstrated that the obvious infarct and high fibrosis ratio in HF mice were remarkably improved after PTX3 KD. Immunofluorescence staining indicated that the HF-induced increase expression of α-SMA was significantly suppressed by PTX3 KD. Additionally, both in vivo and in vitro results confirmed that PTX3 KD decreased the fibrosis-related up-regulation of collagen I, collagen III, and p-STAT3. However, the result was opposite after IL-6 treatment. Conclusions: PTX3 KD protects the cardiac function and counteracts the myocardial fibrosis by down-regulating IL-6/STAT3 pathway in HF.

Abstract
We carried out a comparative analysis of the performance of the heart isolated from healthy rats and in 54 and 120 days after modeling of myocardium infarction. On day 120, the blood supply and heart contraction force increased, while HR did not change. Stimulation of α2-adrenoreceptors with clonidine hydrochloride (10-9 M) reduced the force and rate of contraction and the blood flow in the isolated heart from healthy rats. Stimulation of α2-adrenoreceptors of the isolated heart on day 54 after modeling of myocardium infarction induced a positive inotropic response, bradycardia, and insignificant changes in the heart blood flow. On day 120, stimulation of α2-adrenoreceptors slightly reduced HR and the force of contraction and induced biphasic changes in the coronary flow of the isolated heart.

Abstract
A scientific approach is presented describing the fabrication of nanoprobe (GloTrack) that can act as cardiac precursor label to segregate cells from cardiac/non cardiac origins and traced by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPA) and kinase domain receptor (KDR) recognizing antibodies, form a layer on super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle - poly-ethylene glycol (SPION-PEG) complex, and bind to protein expressed on the surface of cardiac muscle cells. Physical attributes size, distribution, labelling efficiency, echocardiogram (ECG) changes and bio-distribution by MRI were analysed. The results indicate that GloTrack has an average size of 471 nm, exhibits negative potential and promotes labelling efficiency. The bio-distribution of GloTrack in in vivo experiments was traceable in 7T MRI showing high accumulation of GloTrack in cardiac muscles as compared to the liver and spleen. ECG data revealed that GloTrack segregated cardiac precursors has the potential benefit in treating heart failure, thereby paving way in the development of minimal cell manipulation with targeted cell delivery approaches.

Abstract
We studied the cardioprotective effect of 2,6-diisobornyl-4-methylphenol under conditions of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in rats. Daily administration of 2,6-diisobornyl-4-methylphenol (100 mg/kg intragastrically) over 3 days before and 5 days after modeling of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion prevented the increase in the infarction area by almost 2 times in comparison with the control by day 5 after recirculation. The type and severity of pathological changes in ECG parameters reflecting necrotic changes in the myocardium under the action of the compound significantly decreased by day 35 of the experiment. Animal survival rate during the first 24 h after ischemia/reperfusion modeling in the experimental group was by 29% higher than in the control group.

Critical Roles of Xirp Proteins in Cardiac Conduction and Their Rare Variants Identified in Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome and Brugada Syndrome in Chinese Han Population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome (SUNDS) remains an autopsy negative entity with unclear etiology. Arrhythmia has been implicated in SUNDS. Mutations/deficiencies in intercalated disc components have been shown to cause arrhythmias. Human cardiomyopathy-associated 1 (XIRP1) and 3 (XIRP2) are intercalated disc-associated, Xin repeats-containing proteins. Mouse Xirp1 is necessary for the integrity of intercalated disc and for the surface expression of transient outward and delayed rectifier K+ channels, whereas mouse Xirp2 is required for Xirp1 intercalated disc localization. Thus, XIRP1 and XIRP2 may be potentially causal genes for SUNDS. METHODS AND RESULTS We genetically screened XIRP genes in 134 sporadic SUNDS victims and 22 Brugada syndrome (BrS) cases in a Chinese Han population. We identified 16 rare variants (6 were in silico predicted as deleterious) in SUNDS victims, including a novel variant, XIRP2-E215K. There were also four rare variants (2 were in silico predicted as deleterious) detected in BrS cases, including a novel variant, XIRP2-L2718P. Interestingly, among these 20 variants, we detected 2 likely pathogenic variants: a nonsense variant (XIRP2-Q2875*) and a frameshift variant (XIRP2-T2238QfsX7). Analyzing available Xirp2 knockout mice, we further found that mouse hearts without Xirp2 exhibited prolonged PR and QT intervals, slow conduction velocity, atrioventricular conduction block, and an abnormal infranodal ventricular conduction system. Whole-cell patch-clamp detected altered ionic currents in Xirp2-/- cardiomyocytes, consistent with the observed association between Xirp2 and Nav1.5/Kv1.5 in co-immunoprecipitation. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report identifying likely pathogenic XIRP rare variants in arrhythmogenic disorders such as SUNDS and Brugada syndrome, and showing critical roles of Xirp2 in cardiac conduction.

Abstract
We describe a novel model of myocardial infarction (MI) in rats induced by percutaneous transthoracic low-energy laser-targeted photodynamic irradiation. The procedure does not require thoracotomy and represents a minimally invasive alternative to existing surgical models. Target cardiac area to be photodynamically irradiated was triangulated from the thoracic X-ray scans. The acute phase of MI was histopathologically characterized by the presence of extensive vascular occlusion, hemorrhage, loss of transversal striations, neutrophilic infiltration, and necrotic changes of cardiomyocytes. Consequently, damaged myocardium was replaced with fibrovascular and granulation tissue. The fibrotic scar in the infarcted area was detected by computer tomography imaging. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a specific marker of myocardial injury, was significantly elevated at 6 h (41 ± 6 ng/ml, n = 4, P < 0.05 vs. baseline) and returned to baseline after 72 h. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining revealed transmural anterolateral infarcts targeting 25 ± 3% of the left ventricle at day 1 with a decrease to 20 ± 3% at day 40 (n = 6 for each group, P < 0.01 vs. day 1). Electrocardiography (ECG) showed significant ST-segment elevation in the acute phase with subsequent development of a pathological Q wave and premature ventricular contractions in the chronic phase of MI. Vectorcardiogram analysis of spatiotemporal electrical signal transduction revealed changes in inscription direction, QRS loop morphology, and redistribution in quadrant areas. The photodynamically induced MI in n = 51 rats was associated with 12% total mortality. Histological findings, ECG abnormalities, and elevated cTnI levels confirmed the photosensitizer-dependent induction of MI after laser irradiation. This novel rodent model of MI might provide a platform to evaluate new diagnostic or therapeutic interventions.
