Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) inevitably occurs during heart transplantation, highlighting the imperative for effective therapeutic interventions. A Y4 RNA fragment (YF1) was applied to treat a syngeneic mouse model of heart transplantation, with the heart subjected to cold ischemia-reperfusion (CIR). Cardiomyocytes and macrophages were treated with YF1, and a cellular cold hypoxia-reoxygenation (CHR) model was established.

Background: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is caused by inflammatory cells mistakenly attacking the heart valve due to Group A Streptococcus (GAS) infection, but it is still unclear which cells or genes are involved in the process of inflammatory cells infiltrating the valve. Inflammatory infiltration into the target tissue requires an increase in the expression of phosphorylated vascular endothelial-cadherin (p-VE-cad), p-VE-cad can increase the endothelial permeability and promote the migration of inflammatory cells across the endothelium. P-VE-cad is potentially regulated by RAS-related C3 botulinum substrate 1 (RAC1), together with phosphorylated proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (p-PYK2).
