Exploring the molecular biology of ischemic cardiomyopathy based on ferroptosis‑related genes.

Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) is a serious cardiac disease with a very high mortality rate worldwide, which causes myocardial ischemia and hypoxia as the main damage. Further understanding of the underlying pathological processes of cardiomyocyte injury is key to the development of cardioprotective strategies. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death characterized by the accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides to lethal levels, resulting in oxidative damage to the cell membrane.

Resveratrol protects cardiomyocytes against ischemia/reperfusion-induced ferroptosis via inhibition of the VDAC1/GPX4 pathway.

The present study aimed to explore how resveratrol (Res) confers myocardial protection by attenuating ferroptosis. In vivo and in vitro myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) models were established, with or without Res pretreatment. The results showed that Res pretreatment effectively attenuated MIRI, as evidenced by increased cell viability, reduced lactate dehydrogenase activity, decreased infarct size, and maintained cardiac function.

Role of dysregulated ferroptosis‑related genes in cardiomyocyte ischemia‑reperfusion injury: Experimental verification and bioinformatics analysis.

Acute myocardial infarction is a life-threatening condition with high mortality and complication rates. Although myocardial reperfusion can preserve ischemic myocardial tissue, it frequently exacerbates tissue injury, a phenomenon known as ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). However, the underlying pathological mechanisms of IRI remain to be completely understood.

Tanshinone IIA confers protection against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury by inhibiting ferroptosis and apoptosis via VDAC1.

Tanshinone IIA (TSN) extracted from danshen () could protect cardiomyocytes against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), however the underlying molecular mechanisms of action remain unclear. The aim of the present study was to identify the protective effects of TSN and its mechanisms of action through studies. An anoxia/reoxygenation (A/R) injury model was established using H9c2 cells to simulate myocardial IRI .

Exploring Dysregulated Ferroptosis-Related Genes in Septic Myocardial Injury Based on Human Heart Transcriptomes: Evidence and New Insights.

Introduction: Sepsis is currently a common condition in emergency and intensive care units, and is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Cardiac dysfunction caused by septic myocardial injury (SMI) is associated with adverse prognosis and has significant economic and human costs. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying SMI have long been a subject of interest.

Dysregulated autophagy-related genes in septic cardiomyopathy: Comprehensive bioinformatics analysis based on the human transcriptomes and experimental validation.

Septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) is severe organ dysfunction caused by sepsis that is associated with poor prognosis, and its pathobiological mechanisms remain unclear. Autophagy is a biological process that has recently been focused on SCM, yet the current understanding of the role of dysregulated autophagy in the pathogenesis of SCM remains limited and uncertain. Exploring the molecular mechanisms of disease based on the transcriptomes of human pathological samples may bring the closest insights.

Identification and Validation of Ferroptosis-Related Biomarkers in Septic Cardiomyopathy via Bioinformatics Analysis.

Septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) is a cardiac dysfunction caused by severe sepsis and septic shock that increases the risk of heart failure and death and its molecular mechanism remains unclear. Ferroptosis, a novel form of programmed cell death, has been reported to be present in the heart tissue of patients with sepsis, which demonstrated that ferroptosis may be a potential mechanism of myocardial injury in SCM. Therefore, we explored the role of ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs) in SCM and aimed to identify pivotal ferroptosis-related targets in SCM and potential therapeutic targets involved in the pathological process of SCM.

ITGB1-DT/ARNTL2 axis may be a novel biomarker in lung adenocarcinoma: a bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation.

Background: Lung cancer is one of the most lethal malignant tumors that endangers human health. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) has increased dramatically in recent decades, accounting for nearly 40% of all lung cancer cases. Increasing evidence points to the importance of the competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) intrinsic mechanism in various human cancers.

Plasma Lipidomics Identifies Unique Lipid Signatures and Potential Biomarkers for Patients With Aortic Dissection.

Aortic dissection (AD) is a catastrophic cardiovascular emergency with a poor prognosis, and little preceding symptoms. Abnormal lipid metabolism is closely related to the pathogenesis of AD. However, comprehensive lipid alterations related to AD pathogenesis remain unclear.

Iron Metabolism and Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: New Insights from Bioinformatic Analysis.

Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) is a rare vascular disease with a poor prognosis, and the mechanism of its development remains unclear. Further molecular pathology studies may contribute to a comprehensive understanding of IPAH and provide new insights into diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets. Iron deficiency has been reported in 43-63% of patients with IPAH and is associated with reduced exercise capacity and higher mortality, suggesting that dysregulated iron metabolism may play an unrecognized role in influencing the development of IPAH.

Role of ferroptosis-related genes in Stanford type a aortic dissection and identification of key genes: new insights from bioinformatic analysis.

Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is one of the most dangerous vascular diseases worldwide, and the mechanisms of its development remain unclear. Further molecular pathology studies may contribute to a comprehensive understanding of TAAD and provide new insights into diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets. Recent studies have identified that ferroptosis, a form of cell death, may play a previously unrecognized role in influencing the development of TAAD.
