Tax1 banding protein 1 exacerbates heart failure in mice by activating ITCH-P73-BNIP3-mediated cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

Tax1 banding protein 1 (Tax1bp1) was originally identified as an NF-κB regulatory protein that participated in inflammatory, antiviral and innate immune processes. Tax1bp1 also functions as an autophagy receptor that plays a role in autophagy. Our previous study shows that Tax1bp1 protects against cardiomyopathy in STZ-induced diabetic mice.

Clinical characteristics and outcomes in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with and without hypertension: a retrospective study.

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread all over the world in a short time. Information about the differences between COVID-19 patients with and without hypertension is limited. To explore the characteristics and outcomes differences between COVID-19 patients with and without hypertension, the medical records and cardiac biomarkers of 414 patients were analyzed.

The effect of HMGA1 in LPS-induced Myocardial Inflammation.

: The High Mobility Group A1 (HMGA1) proteins, serving as a dynamic regulator of gene transcription and chromatin remodeling, play an influential part in the pathological process of a large number of cardiovascular diseases. However, the precise role of HMGA1 in sepsis induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) remains unintelligible. This research was designed to illustrate the effect of HMGA1 involved in SIC.

Zingerone attenuates aortic banding-induced cardiac remodelling via activating the eNOS/Nrf2 pathway.

Cardiac remodelling refers to a series of changes in the size, shape, wall thickness and tissue structure of the ventricle because of myocardial injury or increased pressure load. Studies have shown that cardiac remodelling plays a significant role in the development of heart failure. Zingerone, a monomer component extracted from ginger, has been proven to possess various properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antidiabetic properties.
