The CREG1-FBXO27-LAMP2 axis alleviates diabetic cardiomyopathy by promoting autophagy in cardiomyocytes.

Autophagy plays an important role in the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Cellular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes 1 (CREG1) is an important myocardial protective factor. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of CREG1 in diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Orosomucoid 1 Attenuates Doxorubicin-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Cardiomyocytes via Nrf2 Signaling.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anticancer drug, but its therapeutic use is limited by its cardiotoxicity. The principal mechanisms of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity are oxidative stress and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Orosomucoid 1 (ORM1), an acute-phase protein, plays important roles in inflammation and ischemic stroke; however, the roles and mechanisms of ORM1 in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity remain unknown.

polysaccharides protect mice from hyperuricaemia through promoting kidney excretion of uric acid and inhibiting liver xanthine oxidase.

Context: L. (Solanaceae) polysaccharides (LBPs) are important active constituents that have demonstrated kidney protection.

Objective: This study investigated the effect of LBPs on hyperuricaemia and explored the underlying mechanism in mice.

Low-dose nicotine promotes autophagy of cardiomyocytes by upregulating HO-1 expression.

Nicotine as a major component of addiction in cigarettes has been reported to play protective roles in some pathological processes. It is reported that activation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor also has a cardioprotective effect. Thus, in our study, we investigated the effect and mechanism of nicotine on the autophagy of cardiomyocytes, and whether nicotine protects cardiomyocytes against palmitic acid (PA) injury.

MiR-207 inhibits autophagy and promotes apoptosis of cardiomyocytes by directly targeting LAMP2 in type 2 diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Autophagy dysfunction plays a critical role in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). MiR-207 regulates the expression of lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2), an autophagy-related protein, following ischemic stroke in neurocytes. However, the roles and mechanisms of miR-207 in DCM remain unknown.
