Aim: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM), a complex metabolic disease, greatly threatens human health due to therapeutic limitations. Multi-omics approaches facilitate the elucidation of its intrinsic pathological changes.

Methods: Metabolomics, RNA-seq, proteomics, and assay of transposase-accessible chromatin (ATAC-seq) were utilized to elucidate multidimensional molecular alterations in DbCM.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are novel regulatory RNAs with high evolutionary conservation and stability, which makes them effective therapeutic agents for various vascular diseases. The SMAD family is a downstream mediator of the canonical transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signalling pathway and has been considered as a critical regulator in vascular injury. However, the role of circRNAs derived from the SMAD family members in vascular physiology remains unclear.

Cardiovascular diseases pose a significant public health challenge globally, necessitating the development of effective treatments to mitigate the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Recently, circular RNAs (circRNAs), a novel class of non-coding RNAs, have been recognized for their role in cardiovascular disease. Aberrant expression of circRNAs is closely linked with changes in various cellular and pathophysiological processes within the cardiovascular system, including metabolism, proliferation, stress response, and cell death.

Circular RNA (circRNA) has emerged as potential therapeutic targets for cardiovascular diseases. Given the central role of the TGFβ signaling pathway in cardiac remodeling and its potential as a therapeutic target, we hypothesized that a circRNA from this pathway could modulate cardiac remodeling and serve as a heart failure treatment. Therefore, we identified a circRNA, named circSMAD3, that was significantly reduced in murine heart failure models.

Objective: Aberrant glucolipid metabolism in the heart is a characteristic factor in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM). Super-enhancers-driven noncoding RNAs (seRNAs) are emerging as powerful regulators in the progression of cardiac diseases. However, the functions of seRNAs in DbCM have not been fully elucidated.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a critical complication that poses a significant threat to the health of patients with diabetes. The intricate pathological mechanisms of DCM cause diastolic dysfunction, followed by impaired systolic function in the late stages. Accumulating researches have revealed the association between DCM and various epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, non-coding RNAs, and other epigenetic molecules.

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is a biophysical process that mediates the precise and complex spatiotemporal coordination of cellular processes. Proteins and nucleic acids are compartmentalized into micron-scale membrane-less droplets via LLPS. These droplets, termed biomolecular condensates, are highly dynamic, have concentrated components, and perform specific functions.
