Shenfu Injection (SFI) is a common drug used to treat cardiovascular diseases and has a significant effect on cardiogenic shock. Ginsenoside Rc (G-Rc) was an anticardiogenic shock effect component of SFI screened by UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS and multivariate statistical analysis and further selected by molecular docking experiment in our previous study. However, most studies on SFI in the treatment of cardiogenic shock focus on the overall efficacy, and little is known about its effective component on energy metabolism in hypoxia/reoxygenation- (H/R-) induced myocardial injury cells. Therefore, the present study was performed to investigate the dose-effect and time-effect relationship of G-Rc in protecting hypoxic injury of H9c2 cardiomyocytes, and its mechanism on the energy metabolism-related indicators, i.e., adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and creatine kinase (CK) activity of the myocardial cells, was explored. In this paper, a stable and reliable H/R model of H9c2 cardiomyocytes was established. Compared with the control group, the activity of cardiomyocytes in the H/R group was significantly reduced (P<0.01). The dose-effect and time-effect studies showed that G-Rc could significantly increase cell viability at certain point compared with the H/R group (P<0.01), and the optimum intervention dose and time was 3.33 μmol/L for 12 h. The results concerning energy metabolism mechanism demonstrated that G-Rc pretreatment could improve ATP content, attenuate the LDH leakage, and decrease CK activity and apoptosis rate of H/R cardiomyocytes. Taken together, our findings suggest that G-Rc pretreatment can significantly protect myocardial cells from H/R injury. In addition, G-Rc is able to improve the energy metabolism ability of the injury cardiomyocytes by direct synthesis of ATP and reducing the activity of LDH, CK, and apoptosis rate. These results indicate that G-Rc may be a promising therapeutic candidate for the treatment of cardiovascular disease caused by myocardial H/R injury.

Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the role of the miR-210/Caspase8ap2 pathway in apoptosis and autophagy in hypoxic myocardial cells. Methods: The miR-control, miR-210 mimic, and miR-210 inhibitor were transfected into rat myocardial H9C2 cells. The transfection efficiency of exogenous miR-210 was determined by quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). H9C2 cells were then treated with CoCl2 for 24, 48, and 72 h to generate a myocardial injury model. The apoptosis of H9C2 cells was assessed by flow cytometry. Additionally, a western blot assay was used to determine the expression of the autophagy-associated proteins light chain 3 (LC3), p62 and Beclin-1, and apoptosis-associated proteins Caspase8ap2, cleaved caspase 8, and cleaved caspase 3. Results: We determined that a 48 h hypoxia treatment duration in H9C2 cardiomyocytes induced myocardial injury. Additionally, the overexpression of miR-210 significantly inhibited cell apoptosis. MiR-210 suppressed autophagy by upregulating p62 and downregulating LC3II/I in hypoxic H9C2 cells. Caspase8ap2 was a putative target of miR-210, miR-210 mediated apoptosis, and autophagy of H9C2 cells via suppressing Caspase8ap2. Furthermore, the expression of caspase 8, caspase 3, and Beclin-1 were decreased in response to miR-210. Conclusion: miR-210 exhibits anti-apoptosis and anti-autophagy effects, which alleviate myocardial injury in response to hypoxia.

Background/Aims: The myocardial energy metabolism shift is one of the most important pathological features of ischemic heart disease (IHD). Although several microRNAs (miRs) are involved in the regulation of myocardial energy metabolism, their exact effects and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate whether microRNA(miR-210) regulates the energy metabolism shift during oxidative stress in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Methods: Cell survival was analyzed via CCK assay. The energy metabolism shift was detected by lactate assay, ATP assay and RT2 profiler glucose metabolism PCR array. Protein and mRNA expression levels were determined by western blot and qPCR. We also used kits to detect the activity of Complex I, Sirt3 and the NAD+/NADH ratio. Results: We determined that miR-210 promoted the energy metabolism shift. The iron-sulfur cluster assembly protein (ISCU) was a target of miR-210. Additionally, we detected the activity of complex I and found that miR-210 inhibits mitochondrial respiration. Interestingly, miR-210 may also indirectly regulate SIRT3 by regulating ISCU. Conclusion: Our results confirm that miR-210 is essential and sufficient for modulating the cellular energy metabolism shift during H2O2-induced oxidative stress in H9c2 cardiomyocytes by targeting ISCU.

Abstract Objective: Sepsis often causes myocardial injury with a high mortality. We wanted to investigate the effects of thrombospondin-1 (THBS1) expression on myocardial cell injury, oxidative stress and apoptosis in sepsis.Methods: The expression of THBS1 mRNA in LPS-induced mouse primary cardiomyocytes was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. We constructed a eukaryotic siRNA expression vector and used liposome transfection to knockdown THBS1 mRNA expression in myocardial cells. We detected the THBS1 mRNA expression level using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Four groups were used: control, LPS, THBS1 siRNA, and LPS + THBS1 siRNA. ELISA was used to detect cTnI, proBNP, ROS, caspase3 and other indicators of cell damage. At the same time, sepsis mouse models were prepared for H&E, TUNEL and caspase-3 staining to evaluate myocardial cell injury and apoptosis. Clinical samples were collected to analyze the serum THBS1 level and correlate it with the prognosis of patients with myocardial injury of sepsis.Results: The expression level of THBS1 mRNA in myocardial cells induced by LPS was increased, and the serum THBS1 level in patients with myocardial injury in sepsis was also significantly increased. In the THBS1 siRNA group with myocardial injury, the levels of cTnI and proBNP were significantly decreased, the levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly decreased, ROS were significantly decreased, and caspase3 was significantly decreased, and myocardial cell apoptosis was also reduced in the sepsis mouse model. Conclusion: THBS1 is closely related to the biological behavior of myocardial cells and may be a therapeutic target for myocardial injury in sepsis.

Myocardial dysfunction is a prime cause of death in sepsis. This study is to delve into the function of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 in myocardial injury induced by sepsis. Sepsis-induced myocardial injury model in rat was initiated by intraperitoneally injecting of LPS (10 mg/kg) in vivo, and cardiomyocyte H9c2 was treated with LPS to mimic sepsis in vitro. KCNQ1OT1 and miR-192-5p expressions were detected by qRT-PCR. The cell viability was probed with CCK-8 experiment and the apoptosis of the cardiomyocytes was tested using flow cytometry analysis. Western blot was operated to determine apoptosis-related proteins expressions. ELISA was used to evaluate the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β. Bioinformatics analysis, RT-PCR, dual luciferase reporter assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation experiment were utilized to detect the interrelation of genes. Herein, we proved that KCNQ1OT1 was considerably down-regulated, whereas miR-192-5p was markedly increased in myocardial tissues of septic rats. KCNQ1OT1 interrelated with miR-192-5p, and negatively modulated its expression levels. Overexpression of KCNQ1OT1 or the transfection of miR-192-5p inhibitors greatly facilitated the viability and impeded the apoptosis of H9c2 cardiomyocytes. miR-192-5p paired with the 3ʹUTR of XIAP, and repressed its protein expression, and XIAP was modulated positively by KCNQ1OT1. In conclusion, our work indicates that down-regulation of KCNQ1OT1 advances cardiac injury through regulating miR-192-5p/XIAP axis during sepsis. Impact statement Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy remains to be a major challenge to health care systems around the globe. There are no known therapies currently available that can cure the disease. This study provides convincing evidence that KCNQ1OT1 could attenuate sepsis-mediated myocardial injury. We further demonstrate that the beneficial function of KCNQ1OT1 was achieved by regulating the miR-192-5p/XIAP axis. We therefore found a new mechanism of cardioprotective effect of KCNQ1OT1, one which also offers a novel theoretical basis for the therapy of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy.

A 54-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presented with three days of chest pain, dyspnea on exertion, and orthopnea. Physical examination revealed jugular venous distention and lower extremity edema. Cardiac biomarkers were elevated. The differential diagnosis for the clinical presentation included: acute coronary syndrome, and type II myocardial infarction or myocardial injury due to acute decompensated heart failure. External records demonstrated recurrent admissions for similar signs and symptoms, with negative coronary angiogram. Shortly after admission, the patient developed acute cardiogenic shock requiring venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Echocardiogram revealed biventricular failure and a possible mitral valve vegetation. The differential diagnosis was refined to include myocarditis (infectious and noninfectious causes), bacterial versus marantic endocarditis, and infiltrative cardiomyopathies. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed mass-like, bileaflet thickening of the mitral valve, not consistent with true vegetation. Infectious, rheumatologic, and hypercoagulable workups were negative. Given the lack of a unifying diagnosis, a right ventricular (RV) endomyocardial biopsy was pursued. This revealed myocardial necrosis and fibrosis, and a mural thrombus with extensive eosinophils. The primary data was then revisited, which revealed history of peripheral eosinophilia that was intermittently suppressed by steroids given for COPD. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated diffuse biventricular subendocardial late gadolinium enhancement and RV thrombi. Evaluation for underlying causes of eosinophilia was negative leading to the diagnosis of Loeffler’s endocarditis due to idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. This case demonstrates: (1) the important role of cardiac MRI in the evaluation of both unexplained myocardial injury and new cardiomyopathy, (2) a rare case of Loeffler’s endocarditis requiring mechanical circulatory support, and (3) the consequences of both availability bias and failure to fully “unpack” the primary diagnostic data, which rendered the true etiology of the patient’s cardiogenic shock “hidden in plain sight.”
