Metabolic responses to cellular stress are pivotal in cell ferroptosis, with mitophagy serving as a crucial mechanism in both metabolic processes and ferroptosis. This study aims to elucidate the effects of high glucose on cardiomyocytes (CMs) and cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) regarding ferroptosis and to uncover the underlying mechanisms involved. We examined alterations in glycolysis, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and mitophagy, which are essential for metabolic adaptations and ferroptosis.

Objective: The impact of comprehensive risk factor control on heart failure (HF) risk and HF-free survival time in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) was evaluated in this study.

Research Design And Methods: This prospective study included 11,949 individuals diagnosed with T2D, matched with 47,796 non-T2D control study participants from the UK Biobank cohort. The degree of comprehensive risk factor control was assessed on the basis of the major cardiovascular risk factors, including blood pressure, BMI, LDL cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, renal function, smoking, diet, and physical activity.

Background: Ideal cardiovascular health (CVH) has been associated with reduced cardiovascular disease risk and mortality, but its association with cardiac arrhythmias was still unsettled. In this prospective cohort study, we investigated the relationship between CVH and subsequent arrhythmias risk, including atrial fibrillation (AF)/flutter, ventricular arrhythmias, and bradyarrhythmias.

Methods: Data from 287,264 participants initially free of arrhythmias in the UK Biobank were included in the analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to explore the relationship between remnant cholesterol (RC) levels and the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in a large cohort of participants from the UK Biobank, aiming to clarify previous findings about cholesterol and AF risk.
  • Over 12.8 years, results showed that lower RC levels were linked to a higher chance of developing AF, with significant differences noted when comparing various cholesterol level groupings.
  • The findings suggest that low RC is a risk factor for developing AF, independent of other cardiovascular conditions, highlighting the importance of monitoring RC levels in relation to heart health.

Background: This study examines the association between traditional cardiovascular health (CVH) metrics and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) incidence in individuals with diverse sleep patterns.

Methods And Results: We analyzed data from 208 621 participants initially free of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the UK Biobank study. Sleep patterns were assessed using scores for chronotype, duration, insomnia, snoring, and daytime dozing.

Background And Aims: The associations between dietary vitamin C (VC), vitamin E (VE) intake and aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) remain unclear. This study aimed to prospectively investigate the associations between dietary VC and VE with the incident risk of AAD.

Methods And Results: A total of 139 477 participants of UK Biobank cohort were included in the analysis.

The precise mechanisms underlying the inhibitory effects of SIRT3, a mitochondrial sirtuin protein, on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, as well as its impact on mitochondrial respiration, remain poorly understood. We assessed sirtuins 3 (SIRT3) levels in HCC tissues and Huh7 cells cultured under hypoxic condition. We investigated the effects of SIRT3 on cell proliferation, glycolytic metabolism, mitochondrial respiration, mitophagy, and mitochondrial biogenesis in Huh7 cells.

Background: The potential influence of tinnitus on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality has yet to be explored. We aim to examine the correlations between tinnitus and the risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study utilising data from the UK Biobank.

Remnant cholesterol (RC) has been associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but its relationship with hypertension remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association between RC and subsequent hypertension risk. Data from the UK Biobank, comprising 295,062 participants initially free of hypertension, were analyzed.

Aim: To examine the associations between serum albumin and the incidences of diabetes and diabetic microvascular complications in participants of the UK Biobank cohort.

Methods: There were 398,146 participants without diabetes and 30,952 patients with diabetes from the UK Biobank cohort included in this study. Multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were used to analyze the association of albumin with the incidences of diabetes and diabetic microvascular complications.

There have been few reports on the substituent effect of main-group-element corrole complexes as ligand-centered homogeneous electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The key to comprehend the catalytic mechanism and develop efficient catalysts is the elucidation of the effects of electronic structure on the performance of energy-related small molecules. In this work, the "push-pull" electronic effect of the substituents on electrocatalytic HER of phosphorus corroles was investigated by using 5,10,15-tris(phenyl) corrole phosphorus (1P), 10-pentafluorophenyl-5,15-bis(phenyl) corrole phosphorus (2P), 10-phenyl-5,15-bis(pentafluorophenyl) corrole phosphorus (3P), 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl) corrole phosphorus (4P) complexes bearing hydroxyl axial ligands and different numbers of fluorine atoms on the meso-aryl substituents.

The economical consideration of using an electrocatalyst in energy-related field, composed of non-precious/sustainable elements is quite noteworthy. In this work, the phosphorus(V) complex of tris-(pentafluorophenyl)corrole [(TPFC)P (OH) ] was reported as electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The electrochemical studies revealed that the HER experienced a ECEC pathway (E: electron transfer step, C: chemical step), and the possible intermediate [P ]-H species was suggested.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how glycolysis affects cardiac fibroblast activation and cardiac fibrosis following a heart attack (myocardial infarction).
  • Daily injections of the glycolysis inhibitor 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) were administered to mice after a heart attack, with various tests performed to assess heart function and fibrosis levels.
  • Results showed that 2-DG reduced the activation of cardiac fibroblasts and fibrosis, highlighting that inhibiting glycolysis could help mitigate damage after a heart attack.

is a plant-pathogenic bacterium causing plant bacterial wilt, and can be strongly inhibited by methyl gallate (MG). Our previous transcriptome sequencing of MG-treated showed that the gene of Rs-T02 was up-regulated significantly under MG stress. In this study, a deletion mutant (named DM3545) and an over-expression strain (named OE3545) for were constructed to confirm this hypothesis.

Article Synopsis
  • Mitochondrial fission in cardiac fibroblasts (CF) was studied to understand its effects on cell activation and mitochondrial health, particularly when stimulated by TGF-β1.
  • The research found that TGF-β1 treatment significantly increased mitochondrial fragmentation and fission-related protein expression while altering fusion proteins, which contributed to CF activation.
  • Inhibition of mitochondrial fission reduced the activation of CF and their glycolysis rate, highlighting the interplay between mitochondrial dynamics, reactive oxygen species, and the mitophagy process, particularly through the Pink1 pathway.

We determined that the methanol extract of Toxicodendron sylvestre could significantly inhibit Ralstonia solanacearum in vitro and in planta. One compound responsible for the antibacterial activity was isolated from the ethyl ether extract and identified as methyl gallate (MG) based on its H and C nuclear magnetic resonance data as well as mass spectroscopy. MG displayed broad-spectrum activity against plant-pathogenic bacteria, and strong inhibitory effects on the growth of plant-pathogenic oomycetes.
