Abstract
In 2023, six decades have elapsed since the first experimental work on the heart muscle was published, in which a member of the Institute of Physiology of the Czech Academy of Sciences participated as an author; Professor Otakar Poupa was the founder and protagonist of this research domain. Sixty years - more than half of the century - is certainly significant enough anniversary that is worth looking back and reflecting on what was achieved during sometimes very complicated periods of life. It represents the history of an entire generation of experimental cardiologists; it is possible to learn from its successes and mistakes. The objective of this review is to succinctly illuminate the scientific trajectory of an experimental cardiological department over a 60-year span, from its inaugural publication to the present. The old truth - historia magistra vitae - is still valid. Keywords: Heart, Adaptation, Development, Hypoxia, Protection.

Abstract
This commentary discusses the implementation of fasting in nonclinical animal experimental subjects. The short-term removal of food from cages of experimental animals is in all respects innocuous. The term "stress" is ill-defined and the statutes and regulations governing animal research laboratories that exert their authority in the performance of their operations do so without substantive grounds to base compliance. The legislative and administrative history of the implementation of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) has evolved into the development of laboratory management strategies that focus on the reduction of the biological cost of stress to the animals and the determination of when subclinical stress (eustress) becomes distress. Animal welfare is based on the tenet that in laboratories conducting animal research in compliance with Good Laboratory Practices (Title 21 USC, Chapter 13,§58), it is the study protocol and the study director that establish procedures and processes that are approved by each Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee to ensure the humane care and use of animals in research, teaching, and testing and to ensure compliance with guidelines and regulations. This approval process establishes the justification of eustress in the environment that do not rise to the threshold of distress under the AWA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) is a common manifestation in critically ill patients. There is a paucity of evidence indicating a relationship between urinary ketones and NOAF. METHODS Critically ill patients with urinary ketone measurements from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV) database were included. The primary outcome was NOAF Propensity score matching was performed following by multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 24,688 patients with available data of urine ketone were included in this study. The urine ketone of 4014 patients was tested positive. The average age of the included participants was 63.8 years old, and 54.5% of them were male. Result of the fully-adjusted binary logistic regression model showed that patients with positive urinary ketone was associated with a significantly lower risk of NOAF (Odds ratio, 0.79, 95% CI 0.7-0.9), compared with those with negative urinary ketone. In the subgroup analysis according to diabetic status, compared with nondiabetics, patients with diabetes had lower risk of NOAF (p-values for interaction < 0.05). Results of other subgroup analyses according to gender, age, infection, myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure were consistent with the primary analysis. CONCLUSIONS Positive urinary ketone body may be associated with reduced risk of NOAF in critically ill patients during intensive care unit hospitalization. Further studies are needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms.

J Mol Cell Cardiol 2024; 186:31-44. [PMID: 37979443 PMCID: PMC11094739 DOI: 10.1016/j.yjmcc.2023.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/20/2023]
Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury after revascularization contributes ∼50% of infarct size and causes heart failure, for which no established clinical treatment exists. β-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB), which serves as both an energy source and a signaling molecule, has recently been reported to be cardioprotective when administered immediately before I/R and continuously after reperfusion. This study aims to determine whether administering β-OHB at the time of reperfusion with a single dose can alleviate I/R injury and, if so, to define the mechanisms involved. We found plasma β-OHB levels were elevated during ischemia in STEMI patients, albeit not to myocardial protection level, and decreased after revascularization. In mice, compared with normal saline, β-OHB administrated at reperfusion reduced infarct size (by 50%) and preserved cardiac function, as well as activated autophagy and preserved mtDNA levels in the border zone. Our treatment with one dose β-OHB reached a level achievable with fasting and strenuous physical activity. In neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) subjected to I/R, β-OHB at physiologic level reduced cell death, increased autophagy, preserved mitochondrial mass, function, and membrane potential, in addition to attenuating reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. ATG7 knockdown/knockout abolished the protective effects of β-OHB observed both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, β-OHB's cardioprotective effects were associated with inhibition of mTOR signaling. In conclusion, β-OHB, when administered at reperfusion, reduces infarct size and maintains mitochondrial homeostasis by increasing autophagic flux (potentially through mTOR inhibition). Since β-OHB has been safely tested in heart failure patients, it may be a viable therapeutic to reduce infarct size in STEMI patients.

Abstract
Cardiac tolerance to ischaemia can be increased by dietary interventions such as fasting, which is associated with significant changes in myocardial gene expression. Among the possible mechanisms of how gene expression may be altered are epigenetic modifications of RNA - epitranscriptomics. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and N6,2'-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) are two of the most prevalent modifications in mRNA. These methylations are reversible and regulated by proteins called writers, erasers, readers, and m6A-repelled proteins. We analysed 33 of these epitranscriptomic regulators in rat hearts after cardioprotective 3-day fasting using RT-qPCR, Western blot, and targeted proteomic analysis. We found that the most of these regulators were changed on mRNA or protein levels in fasting hearts, including up-regulation of both demethylases - FTO and ALKBH5. In accordance, decreased methylation (m6A+m6Am) levels were detected in cardiac total RNA after fasting. We also identified altered methylation levels in Nox4 and Hdac1 transcripts, both of which play a role in the cytoprotective action of ketone bodies produced during fasting. Furthermore, we investigated the impact of inhibiting demethylases ALKBH5 and FTO in adult rat primary cardiomyocytes (AVCMs). Our findings indicate that inhibiting these demethylases reduced the hypoxic tolerance of AVCMs isolated from fasting rats. This study showed that the complex epitranscriptomic machinery around m6A and m6Am modifications is regulated in the fasting hearts and might play an important role in cardiac adaptation to fasting, a well-known cardioprotective intervention.

Abstract
Cancer and cardiovascular disorders are known as the two main leading causes of mortality worldwide. Cardiotoxicity is a critical and common adverse effect of cancer-related chemotherapy. Chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity has been associated with various cancer treatments, such as anthracyclines, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and kinase inhibitors. Different methods have been reported for the management of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. In this regard, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), a class of antidiabetic agents, have recently been applied to manage heart failure patients. Further, SGLT2i drugs such as EMPA exert protective cardiac and systemic effects. Moreover, it can reduce inflammation through the mediation of major inflammatory components, such as Nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes, Adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways, Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), and overall decreasing transcription of proinflammatory cytokines. The clinical outcome of EMPA administration is related to improving cardiovascular risk factors, including body weight, lipid profile, blood pressure, and arterial stiffness. Intriguingly, SGLT2 suppressors can regulate microglia-driven hyperinflammation affecting neurological and cardiovascular disorders. In this review, we discuss the protective effects of EMPA in chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity from molecular, immunological, and neuroimmunological aspects to preclinical and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has led to a pandemic, with significant microvascular and macrovascular complications including coronary artery disease (CAD), which worsen clinical outcomes and cardiovascular prognosis. Patients with both acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and DM have worse prognosis and several pathophysiologic mechanisms have been implicated including, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation and aggregations as well as plaque characteristics and extent of coronary lesions. Therefore, regarding reperfusion strategies in the more complex anatomies coronary artery bypass surgery may be the preferred therapeutic strategy over percutaneous coronary intervention while both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia should be avoided with closed monitoring of glycemic status during the acute phase of myocardial infraction. However, the best treatment strategy remains undefined. Non-insulin therapies, due to the low risk of hypoglycemia concurrently with the multifactorial CV protective effects, may be proved to be the best treatment option in the future. Nevertheless, evidence for the beneficial effects of glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists, dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 inhibitors and sodium glycose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, despite accumulating, is not robust and future randomized control trials may provide more definitive data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is a major cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Recent studies have demonstrated that β-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB) alleviates renal ischemia-reperfusion injury and cisplatin-induced renal injury in murine models. This study aimed to investigate whether β-HB ameliorates sepsis-induced AKI (SIAKI) in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse sepsis model. METHODS AND RESULTS SIAKI was induced by intraperitoneally injecting LPS to C57BL/6 male mice. β-HB was administrated intraperitoneally before LPS injection. The mice were divided into sham, β-HB, LPS, and β-HB + LPS groups. The histological damage score and serum creatinine level were significantly increased in the LPS group mice, but attenuated in the β-HB + LPS group mice. The expression of phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB tumor necrosis factor-α/interleukin-6 and the number of F4/80-positive macrophages in the β-HB + LPS group mice were lower than those in the LPS group mice. The number of TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL)-positive tubular cells, cleaved caspase-3 expression, and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in the β-HB + LPS group mice were lower than those in the LPS group mice. CONCLUSION β-HB pre-treatment ameliorates SIAKI by reducing tubular apoptosis and inflammatory responses. Thus, β-HB pre-treatment could be a potential prophylactic strategy against SIAKI.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries and among older populations. Conventional diagnostic and therapeutic approaches have limitations such as low sensitivity, high cost and side effects. Nanotechnology offers promising alternative strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of CHD by exploiting the unique properties of nanomaterials. In this review, we use bibliometric analysis to identify research hotspots in the application of nanotechnology in CHD and provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art. Nanomaterials with enhanced imaging and biosensing capabilities can improve the early detection of CHD through advanced contrast agents and high-resolution imaging techniques. Moreover, nanomaterials can facilitate targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering and modulation of inflammation and oxidative stress, thus addressing multiple aspects of CHD pathophysiology. We discuss the application of nanotechnology in CHD diagnosis (imaging and sensors) and treatment (regulation of macrophages, cardiac repair, anti-oxidative stress), and provide insights into future research directions and clinical translation. This review serves as a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians seeking to harness the potential of nanotechnology in the management of CHD. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the one of leading cause of death and disability worldwide.

Sato J, Kinoshita K, Sakurai A. Elevated blood acetoacetate levels reduce major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events risk in acute myocardial infarction. Open Med (Wars) 2023; 18:20230793. [PMID: 37693839 PMCID: PMC10487399 DOI: 10.1515/med-2023-0793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Although elevated blood ketone body levels reduce major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) risk in chronic heart failure, their relationship with acute myocardial infarction remains unknown. We investigated this relationship in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This single-institution retrospective observational study analyzed data from 114 patients with acute myocardial infarction at Nihon University Hospital from May 1, 2018, to November 1, 2022. The cut-off value of acetoacetate for the incidence of in-hospital MACCE was determined by drawing a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and defining patients with acetoacetate above and below the optimal cut-off point value as ROC and low-acetoacetate (LA) groups, respectively. Propensity score matching was performed between the LA and high-acetoacetate (HA) groups. Sex, peak creatine kinase, lactate, and blood glucose were defined as confounding factors between in-hospital MACCEs and acetoacetate, and 1:1 propensity score matching between the LA and HA groups was used, resulting in 40 patients from both groups enrolled in the analysis. There was a significantly lower incidence of in-hospital MACCEs in the HA group (LA group: 9 [22%] vs HA group: 1 [3%], P = 0.014). In conclusion, in acute myocardial infarction, elevated blood acetoacetate levels reduce the risk of MACCE.

Abstract
Therapeutic fasting has found its way into modern medicine in the last decade through a multitude of experimental work and animal studies as well as increasing clinical research. It is a procedure with a tradition dating back thousands of years and thus comes with a variety of different practices. What they all have in common, is the reduction of daily food intake for a limited period of time. This has a variety of effects on metabolism, cells and organ systems, which can make it a potent tool in medical practice.

Inappropriate activation of the renin-angiotensin system improves cardiac tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats with late angiotensin II-dependent hypertension. Front Physiol 2023; 14:1151308. [PMID: 37389123 PMCID: PMC10301744 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1151308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of the study was to clarify the role of the interplay between hypertension and the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the pathophysiology of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. We hypothesized that in the late phase of hypertension with already developed signs of end-organ damage, inappropriate RAS activation could impair cardiac tolerance to I/R injury. Experiments were performed in male Cyp1a1-Ren-2 transgenic rats with inducible hypertension. The early phase of ANG II-dependent hypertension was induced by 5 days and the late phase by the 13 days dietary indole-3-carbinol (I3C) administration. Noninduced rats served as controls. Echocardiography and pressure-volume analysis were performed, angiotensins' levels were measured and cardiac tolerance to ischemia/reperfusion injury was studied. The infarct size was significantly reduced (by 50%) in 13 days I3C-induced hypertensive rats with marked cardiac hypertrophy, this reduction was abolished by losartan treatment. In the late phase of hypertension there are indications of a failing heart, mainly in reduced preload recruitable stroke work (PRSW), but only nonsignificant trends in worsening of some other parameters, showing that the myocardium is in a compensated phase. The influence of the RAS depends on the balance between the vasoconstrictive and the opposed vasodilatory axis. In the initial stage of hypertension, the vasodilatory axis of the RAS prevails, and with the development of hypertension the vasoconstrictive axis of the RAS becomes stronger. We observed a clear effect of AT1 receptor blockade on maximum pressure in left ventricle, cardiac hypertrophy and ANG II levels. In conclusion, we confirmed improved cardiac tolerance to I/R injury in hypertensive hypertrophied rats and showed that, in the late phase of hypertension, the myocardium is in a compensated phase.

Neonatal ketone body elevation regulates postnatal heart development by promoting cardiomyocyte mitochondrial maturation and metabolic reprogramming. Cell Discov 2022; 8:106.

Abstract
Neonatal heart undergoes metabolic conversion and cell cycle arrest preparing for the increased workload during adulthood. Herein, we report that neonatal ketone body elevation is a critical regulatory factor for postnatal heart development. Through multiomics screening, we found that the expression of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2), the rate-limiting enzyme of ketogenesis, was transiently induced by colostrum in the neonatal heart. Hmgcs2 knockout caused mitochondrial maturation defects. Meanwhile, postnatal heart development was compromised and cardiomyocytes reacquired proliferation capacity in Hmgcs2 knockout mice. Consequently, over 40% of newborn Hmgcs2 knockout mice died before weaning. The heart function of surviving Hmgcs2 knockout mice was also impaired, which could be rescued by ketone body supplementation during the suckling stage. Mechanistically, ketone body deficiency inhibited β-hydroxybutyrylation but enhanced acetylation of mitochondrial proteins, which might be responsible for the inhibition of the enzyme activity in mitochondria. These observations suggest that ketone body is critical for postnatal heart development through regulating mitochondrial maturation and metabolic reprogramming.

Abstract
Dietary intervention is widely used as a therapeutic approach ranging from the treatment of neurological disorders to attempts to extend lifespan. The most important effect of various diets is a change in energy metabolism. Since muscles constitute 40% of total body mass and are one of the major sites of glucose and energy uptake, various diets primarily affect their metabolism, causing both positive and negative changes in physiology and signaling pathways. In this review, we discuss changes in the energy metabolism of muscles under conditions of the low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet/ketogenic diet (KD), fasting, or administration of exogenous ketone bodies, which are all promising approaches to the treatment of various diseases. KD's main influence on the muscle is expressed through energy metabolism changes, particularly decreased carbohydrate and increased fat oxidation. This affects mitochondrial quantity, oxidative metabolism, antioxidant capacity, and activity of enzymes. The benefits of KD for muscles stay controversial, which could be explained by its different effects on various fiber types, including on muscle fiber-type ratio. The impacts of KD or of its mimetics are largely beneficial but could sometimes induce adverse effects such as cardiac fibrosis.

Abstract
Ageing is a progressive physiological process mediated by changes in biological pathways, resulting in a decline in tissue and cellular function. It is a driving factor in numerous age-related diseases including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Cardiomyopathies, hypertension, ischaemic heart disease, and heart failure are some of the age-related CVDs that are the leading causes of death worldwide. Although individual CVDs have distinct clinical and pathophysiological manifestations, a disturbance in cellular homeostasis underlies the majority of diseases which is further compounded with aging. Three key evolutionary conserved signalling pathways, namely, autophagy, mitophagy and the unfolded protein response (UPR) are involved in eliminating damaged and dysfunctional organelle, misfolded proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, together these molecular processes protect and preserve cellular homeostasis. However, amongst the numerous molecular changes during ageing, a decline in the signalling of these key molecular processes occurs. This decline also increases the susceptibility of damage following a stressful insult, promoting the development and pathogenesis of CVDs. In this review, we discuss the role of autophagy, mitophagy and UPR signalling with respect to ageing and cardiac disease. We also highlight potential therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring/rebalancing autophagy and UPR signalling to maintain cellular homeostasis, thus mitigating the pathological effects of ageing and CVDs. Finally, we highlight some limitations that are likely hindering scientific drug research in this field.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in therapies, cardiovascular diseases ( CVDs ) are still the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Previous studies have shown that metabolic perturbations in cardiac energy metabolism are closely associated with the progression of CVDs. As expected, metabolic interventions can be applied to alleviate metabolic impairments and, therefore, can be used to develop therapeutic strategies for CVDs. β-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB) was once known to be a harmful and toxic metabolite leading to ketoacidosis in diabetes. However, the minor metabolite is increasingly recognized as a multifunctional molecular marker in CVDs. Although the protective role of β-HB in cardiovascular disease is controversial, increasing evidence from experimental and clinical research has shown that β-HB can be a “super fuel” and a signaling metabolite with beneficial effects on vascular and cardiac dysfunction. The tremendous potential of β-HB in the treatment of CVDs has attracted many interests of researchers. This study reviews the research progress of β-HB in CVDs and aims to provide a theoretical basis for exploiting the potential of β-HB in cardiovascular therapies.

Abstract
Modern healthcare systems are founded on a disease-centric paradigm, which has conferred many notable successes against infectious disorders in the past. However, today's leading causes of death are dominated by non-infectious "lifestyle" disorders, broadly represented by the metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, cancer, and neurodegeneration. Our disease-centric paradigm regards these disorders as distinct disease processes, caused and driven by disease targets that must be suppressed or eliminated to clear the disease. By contrast, a health-centric paradigm recognizes the lifestyle disorders as a series of hormonal and metabolic responses to a singular, lifestyle-induced disease of mitochondria dysfunction, a disease target that must be restored to improve health, which may be defined as optimized mitochondria function. Seen from a health-centric perspective, most drugs target a response rather than the disease, whereas metabolic strategies, such as fasting and carbohydrate-restricted diets, aim to restore mitochondria function, mitigating the impetus that underlies and drives the lifestyle disorders. Substantial human evidence indicates either strategy can effectively mitigate the metabolic syndrome. Preliminary evidence also indicates potential benefits in atherosclerosis, cancer, and neurodegeneration. Given the existing evidence, integrating metabolic strategies into modern healthcare systems should be identified as a global health priority.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ketone body oxidation yields more ATP per mole of consumed oxygen than glucose. However, whether an increased ketone body supply in hypoxic cardiomyocytes and ischemic hearts is protective or not remains elusive. The goal of this study is to determine the effect of β-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB), the main constituent of ketone bodies, on cardiomyocytes under hypoxic conditions and the effects of ketogenic diet (KD) on cardiac function in a myocardial infarction (MI) mouse model. METHODS Human peripheral blood collected from patients with acute myocardial infarction and healthy volunteers was used to detect the level of β-OHB. N-terminal proB-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels and left ventricular ejection fractions (LVEFs) were measured to study the relationship between plasma β-OHB and cardiac function. Adult mouse cardiomyocytes and MI mouse models fed a KD were used to research the effect of β-OHB on cardiac damage. qPCR, western blot analysis, and immunofluorescence were used to detect the interaction between β-OHB and glycolysis. Live/dead cell staining and imaging, lactate dehydrogenase, Cell Counting Kit-8 assays, echocardiography, and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining were performed to evaluate the cardiomyocyte death, cardiac function, and infarct sizes. RESULTS β-OHB level was significantly higher in acute MI patients and MI mice. Treatment with β-OHB exacerbated cardiomyocyte death and decreased glucose absorption and glycolysis under hypoxic conditions. These effects were partially ameliorated by inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) degradation via roxadustat administration in hypoxia-stimulated cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, β-OHB metabolisms were obscured in cardiomyocytes under hypoxic conditions. Additionally, MI mice fed a KD exhibited exacerbated cardiac dysfunction compared with control chow diet (CD)-fed MI mice. CONCLUSION Elevated β-OHB levels may be maladaptive to the heart under hypoxic/ischemic conditions. Administration of roxadustat can partially reverse these harmful effects by stabilizing HIF-1α and inducing a metabolic shift toward glycolysis for energy production.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world, highlighting the urgent need for novel, effective therapeutics. Recent studies support the proposition that improved myocardial energetics as a result of ketone body (KB) oxidation may account for the intriguing beneficial effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors in patients with HF. Similar small molecules, short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are now realized to be preferentially oxidized over KBs in failing hearts, contradicting the notion of KBs as a rescue "superfuel." In addition to KBs and SCFAs being alternative fuels, both exert a wide array of nonmetabolic functions, including molecular signaling and epigenetics and as effectors of inflammation and immunity, blood pressure regulation, and oxidative stress. In this review, the authors present a perspective supported by new evidence that the metabolic and unique nonmetabolic activities of KBs and SCFAs hold promise for treatment of patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction and those with HF with preserved ejection fraction.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease refers to myocardial degeneration, necrosis, and fibrosis caused by coronary artery disease. It can lead to severe left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF ≤ 35–40%) and is a major cause of heart failure (HF). In each contraction, myocardium is subjected to a variety of mechanical forces, such as stretch, afterload, and shear stress, and these mechanical stresses are clinically associated with myocardial remodeling and, eventually, cardiac outcomes. Mitochondria produce 90% of ATP in the heart and participate in metabolic pathways that regulate the balance of glucose and fatty acid oxidative phosphorylation. However, altered energetics and metabolic reprogramming are proved to aggravate HF development and progression by disturbing substrate utilization. This review briefly summarizes the current insights into the adaptations of cardiomyocytes to mechanical stimuli and underlying mechanisms in ischemic heart disease, with focusing on mitochondrial metabolism. We also discuss how mechanical circulatory support (MCS) alters myocardial energy metabolism and affects the detrimental metabolic adaptations of the dysfunctional myocardium.

Abstract
During starvation, fasting, or a diet containing little digestible carbohydrates, the circulating insulin levels are decreased. This promotes lipolysis, and the breakdown of fat becomes the major source of energy. The hepatic energy metabolism is regulated so that under these circumstances, ketone bodies are generated from β-oxidation of fatty acids and secreted as ancillary fuel, in addition to gluconeogenesis. Increased plasma levels of ketone bodies thus indicate a dietary shortage of carbohydrates. Ketone bodies not only serve as fuel but also promote resistance to oxidative and inflammatory stress, and there is a decrease in anabolic insulin-dependent energy expenditure. It has been suggested that the beneficial non-metabolic actions of ketone bodies on organ functions are mediated by them acting as a ligand to specific cellular targets. We propose here a major role of a different pathway initiated by the induction of oxidative stress in the mitochondria during increased ketolysis. Oxidative stress induced by ketone body metabolism is beneficial in the long term because it initiates an adaptive (hormetic) response characterized by the activation of the master regulators of cell-protective mechanism, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), sirtuins, and AMP-activated kinase. This results in resolving oxidative stress, by the upregulation of anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activities, improved mitochondrial function and growth, DNA repair, and autophagy. In the heart, the adaptive response to enhanced ketolysis improves resistance to damage after ischemic insults or to cardiotoxic actions of doxorubicin. Sodium-dependent glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors may also exert their cardioprotective action via increasing ketone body levels and ketolysis. We conclude that the increased synthesis and use of ketone bodies as ancillary fuel during periods of deficient food supply and low insulin levels causes oxidative stress in the mitochondria and that the latter initiates a protective (hormetic) response which allows cells to cope with increased oxidative stress and lower energy availability. KEYWORDS: Ketogenic diet, Ketone bodies, Beta hydroxybutyrate, Insulin, Obesity, Type 2 diabetes, Inflammation, Oxidative stress, Cardiovascular disease, SGLT2, Hormesis.

Abstract
Ketone bodies have been identified as an important, alternative fuel source in heart failure. In addition, the use of ketone bodies as a fuel source has been suggested to be a potential ergogenic aid for endurance exercise performance. These findings have certainly renewed interest in the use of ketogenic diets and exogenous supplementation in an effort to improve overall health and disease. However, given the prevalence of ischemic heart disease and myocardial infarctions, these strategies may not be ideal for individuals with coronary artery disease. Although research studies have clearly defined changes in fatty acid and glucose metabolism during ischemia and reperfusion, the role of ketone body metabolism in the ischemic and reperfused myocardium is less clear. This review will provide an overview of ketone body metabolism, including the induction of ketosis via physiological or nutritional strategies. In addition, the contribution of ketone body metabolism in healthy and diseased states, with a particular emphasis on ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury will be discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circulating ketone bodies (KBs) are increased in patients with heart failure (HF), corresponding with increased cardiac KB metabolism and HF severity. However, the role of circulating KBs in ischemia/reperfusion remains unknown. OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate longitudinal changes of KBs and their associations with functional outcomes in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS KBs were measured in 369 participants from a randomized trial on early metformin therapy after STEMI. Nonfasting plasma concentrations of KBs (β-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone) were measured by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy at presentation, at 24 hours, and after 4 months. Myocardial infarct size and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were determined by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at 4 months. Associations of circulating KBs with infarct size and LVEF were determined using multivariable linear regression analyses. RESULTS Circulating KBs were high at presentation with STEMI (median total KBs: 520 μmol/L; interquartile range [IQR]: 315-997 μmol/L). At 24 hours after reperfusion, KBs were still high compared with levels at 4-month follow-up (206 μmol/L [IQR: 174-246] vs 166 μmol/L [IQR: 143-201], respectively; P < 0.001). Increased KB concentrations at 24 hours were independently associated with larger myocardial infarct size (total KBs, per 100 μmol/L: β = 1.56; 95% confidence interval: 0.29-2.83; P = 0.016) and lower LVEF (β = -1.78; 95% CI: (-3.17 to -0.39; P = 0.012). CONCLUSIONS Circulating KBs are increased in patients presenting with STEMI. Higher KBs at 24 hours are associated with functional outcomes after STEMI, which suggests a potential role for ketone metabolism in response to myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
Increased level of C-reactive protein (CRP) is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and hypertension. Here, we analyzed the effects of CRP overexpression on cardiac susceptibility to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in adult spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) expressing human CRP transgene (SHR-CRP). Using an in vivo model of coronary artery occlusion, we found that transgenic expression of CRP predisposed SHR-CRP to repeated and prolonged ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Excessive ischemic arrhythmias in SHR-CRP led to a significant reduction in infarct size (IS) compared with SHR. The proarrhythmic phenotype in SHR-CRP was associated with altered heart and plasma eicosanoids, myocardial composition of fatty acids (FAs) in phospholipids, and autonomic nervous system imbalance before ischemia. To explain unexpected IS-limiting effect in SHR-CRP, we performed metabolomic analysis of plasma before and after ischemia. We also determined cardiac ischemic tolerance in hearts subjected to remote ischemic perconditioning (RIPer) and in hearts ex vivo. Acute ischemia in SHR-CRP markedly increased plasma levels of multiple potent cardioprotective molecules that could reduce IS at reperfusion. RIPer provided IS-limiting effect in SHR that was comparable with myocardial infarction observed in naïve SHR-CRP. In hearts ex vivo, IS did not differ between the strains, suggesting that extra-cardiac factors play a crucial role in protection. Our study shows that transgenic expression of human CRP predisposes SHR-CRP to excess ischemic ventricular tachyarrhythmias associated with a drop of pump function that triggers myocardial salvage against lethal I/R injury likely mediated by protective substances released to blood from hypoxic organs and tissue at reperfusion.

Influence of Hyperglycemia and Diabetes on Cardioprotection by Humoral Factors Released after Remote Ischemic Preconditioning (RIPC). Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22168880.

Abstract
Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) protects hearts from ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in experimental studies; however, clinical RIPC trials were unsatisfactory. This discrepancy could be caused by a loss of cardioprotection due to comorbidities in patients, including diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperglycemia (HG). RIPC is discussed to confer protective properties by release of different humoral factors activating cardioprotective signaling cascades. Therefore, we investigated whether DM type 1 and/or HG (1) inhibit the release of humoral factors after RIPC and/or (2) block the cardioprotective effect directly at the myocardium. Experiments were performed on male Wistar rats. Animals in part 1 of the study were either healthy normoglycemic (NG), type 1 diabetic (DM1), or hyperglycemic (HG). RIPC was implemented by four cycles of 5 min bilateral hind-limb ischemia/reperfusion. Control (Con) animals were not treated. Blood plasma taken in vivo was further investigated in isolated rat hearts in vitro. Plasma from diseased animals (DM1 or HG) was administered onto healthy (NG) hearts for 10 min before 33 min of global ischemia and 60 min of reperfusion. Part 2 of the study was performed vice versa-plasma taken in vivo, with or without RIPC, from healthy rats was transferred to DM1 and HG hearts in vitro. Infarct size was determined by TTC staining. Part 1: RIPC plasma from NG (NG Con: 49 ± 8% vs. NG RIPC 29 ± 6%; p < 0.05) and DM1 animals (DM1 Con: 47 ± 7% vs. DM1 RIPC: 38 ± 7%; p < 0.05) reduced infarct size. Interestingly, transfer of HG plasma showed comparable infarct sizes independent of prior treatment (HG Con: 34 ± 9% vs. HG RIPC 35 ± 9%; ns). Part 2: No infarct size reduction was detectable when transferring RIPC plasma from healthy rats to DM1 (DM1 Con: 54 ± 13% vs. DM1 RIPC 53 ± 10%; ns) or HG hearts (HG Con: 60 ± 16% vs. HG RIPC 53 ± 14%; ns). These results suggest that: (1) RIPC under NG and DM1 induces the release of humoral factors with cardioprotective impact, (2) HG plasma might own cardioprotective properties, and (3) RIPC does not confer cardioprotection in DM1 and HG myocardium.

Abstract
Metabolic perturbations underlie a variety of cardiovascular disease states; yet, metabolic interventions to prevent or treat these disorders are sparse. Ketones carry a negative clinical stigma as they are involved in diabetic ketoacidosis. However, evidence from both experimental and clinical research has uncovered a protective role for ketones in cardiovascular disease. Although ketones may provide supplemental fuel for the energy-starved heart, their cardiovascular effects appear to extend far beyond cardiac energetics. Indeed, ketone bodies have been shown to influence a variety of cellular processes including gene transcription, inflammation and oxidative stress, endothelial function, cardiac remodeling, and cardiovascular risk factors. This paper reviews the bioenergetic and pleiotropic effects of ketone bodies that could potentially contribute to its cardiovascular benefits based on evidence from animal and human studies.

Abstract
Dietary interventions such as intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet have demonstrated neuroprotective effects in various models of neurological insult. However, there has been a lack of evaluation of these interventions from a surgical perspective despite their potential to augment reparative processes that occur following nerve injury. Thus, we sought to analyze the effects of these dietary regimens on nerve regeneration and repair by critical appraisal of the literature. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review was performed to identify studies published between 1950 and 2020 that examined the impact of either the ketogenic diet or intermittent fasting on traumatic injuries to the spinal cord or peripheral nerves. Study characteristics and outcomes were analyzed for each included article. A total of 1,890 articles were reviewed, of which 11 studies met inclusion criteria. Each of these articles was then assessed based on a variety of qualitative parameters, including type of injury, diet composition, timing, duration, and outcome. In total, seven articles examined the ketogenic diet, while four examined intermittent fasting. Only three studies examined peripheral nerves. Neuroprotective effects manifested as either improved histological or functional benefits in most of the included studies. Overall, we conclude that intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet may promote neuroprotection and facilitate the regeneration and repair of nerve fibers following injury; however, lack of consistency between the studies in terms of animal models, diet compositions, and timing of dietary interventions preclude synthesis of their outcomes as a whole.

Abstract
One of the characteristics of the failing human heart is a significant alteration in its energy metabolism. Recently, a ketone body, β-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB) has been implicated in the failing heart’s energy metabolism as an alternative “fuel source.” Utilization of β-OHB in the failing heart increases, and this serves as a “fuel switch” that has been demonstrated to become an adaptive response to stress during the heart failure progression in both diabetic and non-diabetic patients. In addition to serving as an alternative “fuel,” β-OHB represents a signaling molecule that acts as an endogenous histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. It can increase histone acetylation or lysine acetylation of other signaling molecules. β-OHB has been shown to decrease the production of reactive oxygen species and activate autophagy. Moreover, β-OHB works as an NLR family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (Nlrp3) inflammasome inhibitor and reduces Nlrp3-mediated inflammatory responses. It has also been reported that β-OHB plays a role in transcriptional or post-translational regulations of various genes’ expression. Increasing β-OHB levels prior to ischemia/reperfusion injury results in a reduced infarct size in rodents, likely due to the signaling function of β-OHB in addition to its role in providing energy. Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been shown to exert strong beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. They are also capable of increasing the production of β-OHB, which may partially explain their clinical efficacy. Despite all of the beneficial effects of β-OHB, some studies have shown detrimental effects of long-term exposure to β-OHB. Furthermore, not all means of increasing β-OHB levels in the heart are equally effective in treating heart failure. The best timing and therapeutic strategies for the delivery of β-OHB to treat heart disease are unknown and yet to be determined. In this review, we focus on the crucial role of ketone bodies, particularly β-OHB, as both an energy source and a signaling molecule in the stressed heart and the overall therapeutic potential of this compound for cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Reducing infarct size during a cardiac ischaemic-reperfusion episode is still of paramount importance, because the extension of myocardial necrosis is an important risk factor for developing heart failure. Cardiac ischaemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is in principle a metabolic pathology as it is caused by abruptly halted metabolism during the ischaemic episode and exacerbated by sudden restart of specific metabolic pathways at reperfusion. It should therefore not come as a surprise that therapy directed at metabolic pathways can modulate IRI. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of important metabolic pathways as therapeutic targets to combat cardiac IRI. Activating metabolic pathways such as glycolysis (eg AMPK activators), glucose oxidation (activating pyruvate dehydrogenase complex), ketone oxidation (increasing ketone plasma levels), hexosamine biosynthesis pathway (O-GlcNAcylation; administration of glucosamine/glutamine) and deacetylation (activating sirtuins 1 or 3; administration of NAD+ -boosting compounds) all seem to hold promise to reduce acute IRI. In contrast, some metabolic pathways may offer protection through diminished activity. These pathways comprise the malate-aspartate shuttle (in need of novel specific reversible inhibitors), mitochondrial oxygen consumption, fatty acid oxidation (CD36 inhibitors, malonyl-CoA decarboxylase inhibitors) and mitochondrial succinate metabolism (malonate). Additionally, protecting the cristae structure of the mitochondria during IR, by maintaining the association of hexokinase II or creatine kinase with mitochondria, or inhibiting destabilization of FO F1 -ATPase dimers, prevents mitochondrial damage and thereby reduces cardiac IRI. Currently, the most promising and druggable metabolic therapy against cardiac IRI seems to be the singular or combined targeting of glycolysis, O-GlcNAcylation and metabolism of ketones, fatty acids and succinate.

[PMID: 32194159 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2020.165770] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2019] [Revised: 03/11/2020] [Accepted: 03/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new class of effective drugs managing patients, who suffer from type 2 diabetes (T2D): Landmark clinical trials including EMPA-REG, CANVAS and Declare-TIMI have demonstrated that SGLT2 inhibitors reduce cardiovascular mortality and re-hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in patients with T2D. It is well established that there is a strong independent relationship among infarct size measured within 1 month after reperfusion and all-cause death and hospitalization for HF: The fact that cardiovascular mortality was significantly reduced with the SGLT2 inhibitors, fuels the assumption that this class of therapies may attenuate myocardial infarct size. Experimental evidence demonstrates that SGLT2 inhibitors exert cardioprotective effects in animal models of acute myocardial infarction through improved function during the ischemic episode, reduction of infarct size and a subsequent attenuation of heart failure development. The aim of the present review is to outline the current state of preclinical research in terms of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) and infarct size for clinically available SGLT2 inhibitors and summarize some of the proposed mechanisms of action (lowering intracellular Na+ and Ca2+, NHE inhibition, STAT3 and AMPK activation, CamKII inhibition, reduced inflammation and oxidative stress) that may contribute to the unexpected beneficial cardiovascular effects of this class of compounds.

Abstract
Dapagliflozin belongs in the family of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and acts by reducing glucose reabsorption in the proximal tubule. The aim of this review is to present the differential pharmacology and clinical utility of dapagliflozin. Dapagliflozin is orally administered, has a long half-life of 12.9 hours and (similar to empagliflozin) is a much weaker SGLT1 inhibitor compared with canagliflozin. Dapagliflozin significantly decreases glycated hemoglobin and fasting glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The drug improves body weight, blood pressure, uric acid, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial, a large trial of 17,160 T2DM patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD) or without established CVD but with multiple risk factors, dapagliflozin compared with placebo resulted in a significantly lower rate of the composite outcome of CVD death or hospitalization for heart failure (HHF); this effect was mainly due to a lower rate of HHF in the dapagliflozin group (HR: 0.73; 95%CI: 0.61–0.88), whereas no difference was observed in the rate of CVD death (HR: 0.98; 95%CI: 0.82–1.17). Moreover, dapagliflozin was noninferior to placebo with respect to major adverse CVD events. Dapagliflozin exerts beneficial effects on albuminuria. Additionally, in the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial it significantly reduced the composite renal endpoint (40% decrease in glomerular filtration rate, end stage renal disease, or renal death) in both patients with established CVD and patients with multiple risk factors (overall HR: 0.53; 95%CI: 0.43–0.66). However dapagliflozin, like the other SGLT2 inhibitors, is associated with an increased risk of genital and urinary tract infections (usually mild mycotic infections) and acute kidney injury in cases of reduced extracellular volume. Dapagliflozin is a useful antidiabetic treatment which also exerts beneficial effects in the management of heart failure and diabetic kidney disease.

Abstract
Lethal ventricular tachyarrhythmia (LVTA) is the most prevalent electrophysiological event leading to sudden cardiac death (SCD). In this study, the myocardial lipidome and proteome were analysed in rats experiencing LVTA as a consequence of acute myocardial ischemia (AMI). Results showed that 257 lipid species and 814 myocardial proteins were disrupted during LVTA. Cardiolipin (CL), phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), ceramide (Cer), lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and lysophosphatidylserine (LPS) were down-regulated; whereas sphingosine (SO) and diacylglycerol (DG) were up-regulated. Enrichment analysis of these proteins suggested mitochondrial dysfunction. Most of the differential lipids showed a high degree of interaction with the core differentially expressed proteins. Seven lipid pathways, including DG → PE, PE → LPE, PA → DG, PC → DG, PE → PA, Cer → SM, and LPE → LPC, were active during the process. Activation of LPE → PE could be partially confirmed by proteomic results. CL (72:7), PE (42:4), and LPE (P-18:0) jointly represent a promising diagnostic markers for LVTA. Collectively, we discovered marked disturbances of the lipidome and proteome in the myocardia of LVTA rats, mainly involving dysfunction of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effects of long-term low-carbohydrate low-protein ketogenic diet (KD) on cardiac metabolism and diabetic cardiomyopathy status in lean diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diabetic GK rats were fed with KD for 62 weeks. Cardiac function and metabolism were assessed using magnetic resonance imaging and 13 C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13 C-MRS), at rest and under dobutamine stress. 13 C-MRS was performed following injection of hyperpolarized [3-13 C]acetoacetate, [1-13 C]butyrate or [1-13 C]pyruvate to assess ketone body, short-chain fatty acid or glucose utilization, respectively. Protein expression and cardiomyocyte structure were determined via Western blotting and histology, respectively. RESULTS KD lowered blood glucose, triglyceride and insulin levels while increasing blood ketone body levels. In KD-fed diabetic rats, myocardial ketone body and glucose oxidation were lower than in chow-fed diabetic rats, while myocardial glycolysis and short-chain fatty acid oxidation were unaltered. Dobutamine stress revealed an increased cardiac preload and reduced cardiac compliance in KD-fed diabetic rats. Dobutamine-induced stimulation of myocardial glycolysis was more enhanced in KD-fed diabetic rats than in chow-fed diabetic rats, which was potentially facilitated via an upregulation in basal expression of proteins involved in glucose transport and glycolysis in the hearts of KD-fed rats. The metabolic profile induced by KD was accompanied by cardiac hypertrophy, a trend for increased myocardial lipid and collagen content, and an increased marker of oxidative stress. CONCLUSION KD seems to exacerbate diabetic cardiomyopathy in GK rats, which may be associated with maladaptive cardiac metabolic modulation and lipotoxicity.

Abstract
Reperfusion injury during myocardial infarction accounts for approximately half of final infarct size. Whereas this has been known for decades, efficacious therapy targeting reperfusion injury remains elusive. Many proteins are subject to reversible acetylation, and drugs targeting enzymes that govern these events have emerged in oncology. Among these, small molecules targeting protein deacetylating enzymes, so-called histone deacetylases (HDACs), are approved for human use in rare cancers. Now, work emerging from multiple laboratories, and in both mice and large animals, has documented that HDAC inhibition using compounds approved for clinical use confers robust cardioprotection when delivered at the time of myocardial reperfusion. Here, we summarize the key underpinnings of this science, discuss potential mechanisms, and provide a framework for a first-in-human clinical trial.

Abstract
Background Caloric restriction is known to impair the cardiac function and morphology in
hypertrophied hearts of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR); however, the
influence of fasting/refeeding (RF) is unknown. Objective To investigate the fasting/refeeding approach on myocardial remodeling and
function. In addition, the current study was designed to bring information
regarding the mechanisms underlying the participation of Ca2+
handling and β-adrenergic system. Methods Sixty-day-old male SHR rats were submitted to food ad
libitum (C), 50% food restriction (R50) or RF cycles
for 90 days. Cardiac remodeling was assessed by ultrastructure analysis and
isolated papillary muscle function. The level of significance considered was
5% (α = 0.05). Results The RF rats presented lower cardiac atrophy than R50 in relation
to C rats. The C rats increased weight gain, R50 maintained their
initial body weight and RF rats increased and decreased weight during RF.
The RF did not cause functional impairment because the isotonic and
isometric parameters showed similar behavior to those of C. The isotonic and
isometric cardiac parameters were significantly elevated in RF rats compared
to R50 rats. In addition, the R50 rats had cardiac
damage in relation to C for isotonic and isometric variables. While the
R50 rats showed focal changes in many muscle fibers, the RF
rats displayed mild alterations, such as loss or disorganization of
myofibrils. Conclusion Fasting/refeeding promotes cardiac beneficial effects and attenuates
myocardial injury caused by caloric restriction in SHR rats, contributing to
reduce the cardiovascular risk profile and morphological injuries.
Furthermore, RF promotes mild improvement in Ca2+ handling and
β-adrenergic system.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus currently affects over 350 million patients worldwide and is associated with many deaths from cardiovascular complications. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are a novel class of antidiabetic drugs with cardiovascular benefits beyond other antidiabetic drugs. In the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, empagliflozin significantly decreases the mortality rate from cardiovascular causes [38% relative risk reduction (RRR)], the mortality rate from all-causes (32% RRR) and the rate of heart failure hospitalization (35% RRR) in diabetic patients with established cardiovascular diseases. The possible mechanisms of SGLT-2 inhibitors are proposed to be systemic effects by hemodynamic and metabolic actions. However, the direct mechanisms are not fully understood. In this review, reports concerning the effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors in models of diabetic cardiomyopathy, heart failure and myocardial ischemia from in vitro, in vivo as well as clinical reports are comprehensively summarized and discussed. By current evidences, it may be concluded that the direct effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors are potentially mediated through their ability to reduce cardiac inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction and ionic dyshomeostasis.

Abstract
The present study was designed to examine the protection of D-β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in heart and investigate its underlying mechanism. Male adult mice were exposed to 30 min of ischemia and 24 h of reperfusion. Osmotic pumps were implanted subcutaneously 5 min before reperfusion for continuous delivery of the exogenous BHB (1.6 mmol/kg/24 h). Treatment with BHB reduced infarct size and levels of cardiac troponin I, creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase in serum, attenuated apoptosis in myocardium, and preserved cardiac function of I/R mice. Importantly, treatment of I/R mice with BHB promoted autophagic flux, evidenced by reduced the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I and protein expression of p62 and enhanced protein expression of lysosome associated membrane protein-2 (Lamp2) in myocardium. Treatment of I/R mice with BHB reduced mitochondrial formation of reactive oxygen species, enhanced adenosine triphosphate production, attenuated mitochondrial swelling, and partly restored mitochondrial membrane potential in myocardium. Furthermore, treatment of I/R mice with BHB abated oxidative stress and attenuated endoplasmic reticulum stress in myocardium. Our results indicated that treatment with exogenous BHB protected heart from I/R injury in mice.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease, predominantly ischemic heart disease (IHD), is the leading cause of death in diabetes mellitus (DM). In addition to eliciting cardiomyopathy, DM induces a ‘wicked triumvirate’: (i) increasing the risk and incidence of IHD and myocardial ischemia; (ii) decreasing myocardial tolerance to ischemia–reperfusion (I–R) injury; and (iii) inhibiting or eliminating responses to cardioprotective stimuli. Changes in ischemic tolerance and cardioprotective signaling may contribute to substantially higher mortality and morbidity following ischemic insult in DM patients. Among the diverse mechanisms implicated in diabetic impairment of ischemic tolerance and cardioprotection, changes in sarcolemmal makeup may play an overarching role and are considered in detail in the current review. Observations predominantly in animal models reveal DM-dependent changes in membrane lipid composition (cholesterol and triglyceride accumulation, fatty acid saturation vs. reduced desaturation, phospholipid remodeling) that contribute to modulation of caveolar domains, gap junctions and T-tubules. These modifications influence sarcolemmal biophysical properties, receptor and phospholipid signaling, ion channel and transporter functions, contributing to contractile and electrophysiological dysfunction, cardiomyopathy, ischemic intolerance and suppression of protective signaling. A better understanding of these sarcolemmal abnormalities in types I and II DM (T1DM, T2DM) can inform approaches to limiting cardiomyopathy, associated IHD and their consequences. Key knowledge gaps include details of sarcolemmal changes in models of T2DM, temporal patterns of lipid, microdomain and T-tubule changes during disease development, and the precise impacts of these diverse sarcolemmal modifications. Importantly, exercise, dietary, pharmacological and gene approaches have potential for improving sarcolemmal makeup, and thus myocyte function and stress-resistance in this ubiquitous metabolic disorder.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ketone bodies, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3BOHB), and acetoacetate derive from increased free fatty acid beta-oxidation, thus reflecting marked insulin deprivation with or without decompensated diabetes. Objectives of this study were (1) to determine circulating levels of 3BOHB in patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2DM), before and after an elective coronary angiography; (2) to detect 3BOHB modification during the procedure; (3) to study possible associations between 3BOHB and clinical parameters/outcomes. METHODS Sixteen T2DM (72 ± 11 years) and 22 matched controls (71 ± 12 years) undergoing elective coronary angiography were enrolled. In all subjects, biohumoral parameters were determined at hospital admission. Point-of-care determinations of 3BOHB, glucose, and creatinine were performed, at 7 a.m, immediately before and after the procedure. The duration of the fasting period and of the procedure was recorded. RESULTS T2DM had significantly higher fasting (0.538 ± 0.320 vs 0.255 ± 0.197 mM/l; p = 0.005) and pre-procedural (0.725 ± 0.429 vs 0.314 ± 0.205; p = 0.002) 3BOHB concentrations than controls. Similarly, absolute increment of 3BOHB from the morning value was significantly greater in T2DM (0.369 ± 0.252 vs 0.127 ± 0.135 in controls; p = 0.002). Significant correlations were observed between pre-procedure 3BOHB and glucose levels (r = 0.586; p < 0.0001) and between pre-procedure 3BOHB and fasting creatinine concentrations (r = 0.364; p = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS An overnight fasting period and a concomitantly stressful condition induce inappropriate 3BOHB increase in T2DM. Point-of-care capillary 3BOHB may be useful before any procedural/surgical intervention in these patients.

[PMID: 28214538 DOI: 10.1016/j.resuscitation.2017.01.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 61] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2016] [Revised: 01/21/2017] [Accepted: 01/25/2017] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Animal models are widely used in cardiac arrest research. This systematic review aimed to provide an overview of contemporary animal models of cardiac arrest. METHODS Using a comprehensive research strategy, we searched PubMed and EMBASE from March 8, 2011 to March 8, 2016 for cardiac arrest animal models. Two investigators reviewed titles and abstracts for full text inclusion from which data were extracted according to pre-defined definitions. RESULTS Search criteria yielded 1741 unique titles and abstracts of which 490 full articles were included. The most common animals used were pigs (52%) followed by rats (35%) and mice (6%). Studies favored males (52%) over females (16%); 17% of studies included both sexes, while 14% omitted to report on sex. The most common methods for induction of cardiac arrest were either electrically-induced ventricular fibrillation (54%), asphyxia (25%), or potassium (8%). The median no-flow time was 8min (quartiles: 5, 8, range: 0-37min). The majority of studies used adrenaline during resuscitation (64%), while bicarbonate (17%), vasopressin (8%) and other drugs were used less prevalently. In 53% of the studies, the post-cardiac arrest observation time was ≥24h. Neurological function was an outcome in 48% of studies while 43% included assessment of a cardiac outcome. CONCLUSIONS Multiple animal models of cardiac arrest exist. The great heterogeneity of these models along with great variability in definitions and reporting make comparisons between studies difficult. There is a need for standardization of animal cardiac arrest research and reporting.

Abstract
Ketone body metabolism is a central node in physiological homeostasis. In this review, we discuss how ketones serve discrete fine-tuning metabolic roles that optimize organ and organism performance in varying nutrient states and protect from inflammation and injury in multiple organ systems. Traditionally viewed as metabolic substrates enlisted only in carbohydrate restriction, observations underscore the importance of ketone bodies as vital metabolic and signaling mediators when carbohydrates are abundant. Complementing a repertoire of known therapeutic options for diseases of the nervous system, prospective roles for ketone bodies in cancer have arisen, as have intriguing protective roles in heart and liver, opening therapeutic options in obesity-related and cardiovascular disease. Controversies in ketone metabolism and signaling are discussed to reconcile classical dogma with contemporary observations.

Impact of high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet on myocardial substrate oxidation, insulin sensitivity, and cardiac function after ischemia-reperfusion. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2016; 311:H1-H10.

Abstract
High-fat, low-carbohydrate Diet (HFLCD) impairs the myocardial response to ischemia-reperfusion, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. We sought to determine the magnitude of diet-induced alterations in intrinsic properties of the myocardium (including insulin sensitivity and substrate oxidation) and circulating substrate and insulin differences resulting from diet, leading to this impaired response. Rats were fed HFLCD (60% kcal from fat/30% protein/10% carbohydrate) or control diet (CONT) (16%/19%/65%) for 2 wk. Isolated hearts underwent global low-flow ischemia followed by reperfusion (I/R). Carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy was used to determine myocardial substrate TCA cycle entry. Myocardial insulin sensitivity was assessed as dose-response of Akt phosphorylation. There was a significant effect of HFLCD and I/R with both these factors leading to an increase in free fatty acid (FFA) oxidation and a decrease in carbohydrate or ketone oxidation. Following I/R, HFLCD led to decreased ketone and increased FFA oxidation; the recovery of left ventricular (LV) function was decreased in HFLCD and was negatively correlated with FFA oxidation and positively associated with ketone oxidation. HFLCD also resulted in reduced insulin sensitivity. Under physiologic ranges, there were no direct effects of buffer insulin and ketone levels on oxidation of any substrate and recovery of cardiac function after I/R. An insulin-ketone interaction exists for myocardial substrate oxidation characteristics. We conclude that the impaired recovery of function after ischemia-reperfusion with HFLCD is largely due to intrinsic diet effects on myocardial properties, rather than to diet effect on circulating insulin or substrate levels.

Abstract
Beyond their contribution to basic metabolism, the major cellular organelles, in particular mitochondria, can determine whether cells respond to stress in an adaptive or suicidal manner. Thus, mitochondria can continuously adapt their shape to changing bioenergetic demands as they are subjected to quality control by autophagy, or they can undergo a lethal permeabilization process that initiates apoptosis. Along similar lines, multiple proteins involved in metabolic circuitries, including oxidative phosphorylation and transport of metabolites across membranes, may participate in the regulated or catastrophic dismantling of organelles. Many factors that were initially characterized as cell death regulators are now known to physically or functionally interact with metabolic enzymes. Thus, several metabolic cues regulate the propensity of cells to activate self-destructive programs, in part by acting on nutrient sensors. This suggests the existence of "metabolic checkpoints" that dictate cell fate in response to metabolic fluctuations. Here, we discuss recent insights into the intersection between metabolism and cell death regulation that have major implications for the comprehension and manipulation of unwarranted cell loss.

Abstract
We provide a comprehensive review of the role of β-hydroxybutyrate (β-OHB), its linear polymer poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB), and inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) in mammalian health and disease. β-OHB is a metabolic intermediate that constitutes 70% of ketone bodies produced during ketosis. Although ketosis has been generally considered as an unfavorable pathological state (e.g., diabetic ketoacidosis in type-1 diabetes mellitus), it has been suggested that induction of mild hyperketonemia may have certain therapeutic benefits. β-OHB is synthesized in the liver from acetyl-CoA by β-OHB dehydrogenase and can be used as alternative energy source. Elevated levels of PHB are associated with pathological states. In humans, short-chain, complexed PHB (cPHB) is found in a wide variety of tissues and in atherosclerotic plaques. Plasma cPHB concentrations correlate strongly with atherogenic lipid profiles, and PHB tissue levels are elevated in type-1 diabetic animals. However, little is known about mechanisms of PHB action especially in the heart. In contrast to β-OHB, PHB is a water-insoluble, amphiphilic polymer that has high intrinsic viscosity and salt-solvating properties. cPHB can form non-specific ion channels in planar lipid bilayers and liposomes. PHB can form complexes with polyP and Ca(2+) which increases membrane permeability. The biological roles played by polyP, a ubiquitous phosphate polymer with ATP-like bonds, have been most extensively studied in prokaryotes, however polyP has recently been linked to a variety of functions in mammalian cells, including blood coagulation, regulation of enzyme activity in cancer cells, cell proliferation, apoptosis and mitochondrial ion transport and energy metabolism. Recent evidence suggests that polyP is a potent activator of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore in cardiomyocytes and may represent a hitherto unrecognized key structural and functional component of the mitochondrial membrane system.

Abstract
Flies were starved with water before being subjected to various severe stresses (heat, cold, fungal infection, hydrogen peroxide) immediately after starvation or after a delay. Starvation of young and middle-aged flies increased resistance to a long cold stress (0 °C for up to 48 h), mainly if there was a 2-6 h delay between starvation and the cold stress, but positive effects in old flies were hardly observed. No positive effect was observed on resistance to the other stresses and starvation rather decreased resistance to them. It thus seems that fasting increases frailty but also puts at play mechanisms increasing resistance to cold. Starvation also increased learning scores but this could be linked to decreased positive phototaxis tendencies, and not to a better learning ability. Starvation appears to be a mild stress with limited hormetic effects, but studying the mechanisms of these effects is of interest because fasting is maybe of therapeutic value in human beings.

Abstract
Ketone bodies are metabolized through evolutionarily conserved pathways that support bioenergetic homeostasis, particularly in brain, heart, and skeletal muscle when carbohydrates are in short supply. The metabolism of ketone bodies interfaces with the tricarboxylic acid cycle, β-oxidation of fatty acids, de novo lipogenesis, sterol biosynthesis, glucose metabolism, the mitochondrial electron transport chain, hormonal signaling, intracellular signal transduction pathways, and the microbiome. Here we review the mechanisms through which ketone bodies are metabolized and how their signals are transmitted. We focus on the roles this metabolic pathway may play in cardiovascular disease states, the bioenergetic benefits of myocardial ketone body oxidation, and prospective interactions among ketone body metabolism, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and atherosclerosis. Ketone body metabolism is noninvasively quantifiable in humans and is responsive to nutritional interventions. Therefore, further investigation of this pathway in disease models and in humans may ultimately yield tailored diagnostic strategies and therapies for specific pathological states.
