The formation of infarctoid areas in rat myocardium following intraperitoneal injection of cobalt dichloride (30 mg/kg) is connected with metabolic (toxic) and ischaemic lesions of myocardial cells. The ischaemic lesions are sequelae of thrombosis taking place after 3-8 hours in consequence of thrombocytic aggregation in the capillary lumen. With the aid of polarization and electron microscopy, the myocardial-cell changes in the affected zones were classed into four morphological types, as follows: contracture type, intracellular myocytolysis, primary clumpy disintegration of myofibrils, and intravital autolysis of ischaemized cells.

Replicating the structural and functional features of native myocardium, particularly its high-density cellular alignment and efficient electrical connectivity, is essential for engineering functional cardiac tissues. Here, novel electrohydrodynamically printed InterPore microfibrous lattices with anisotropic architectures are introduced to promote high-density cellular alignment and enhanced tissue interconnectivity. The interconnected pores in the microfibrous lattice enable dynamic, cell-mediated remodeling of fibrous hydrogels, resulting in continuous, mechanically stable tissue bundles.

The cardiac microenvironment profoundly restricts the efficacy of myocardial regeneration tactics for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). A prospective approach for MI therapeutics encompasses the combined strategy of scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) to alleviate oxidative stress injury and facilitating macrophage polarization towards the regenerative M2 phenotype. In this investigation, we fabricated a ROS-sensitive hydrogel engineered to deliver our previously engineered IL-1β-VHH for myocardial restoration.

Pathological myocardial hypertrophy can induce heart failure with high mortality, it is necessary to explore its pathogenesis. Tripartite motif-containing 26 (TRIM26) belongs to the multidomain E3 ubiquitin ligase family. We observed increased expression of TRIM26 in the myocardium of C57BL/6 mice subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) treated with phenylephrine (PE).

Shenmai Injection Reduces Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis Induced by Doxorubicin through miR-30a/Bcl-2.

Chin J Integr Med

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, National Clinical Research Center for Chinese Medicine Cardiology, Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beijing, 100091, China.

Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism of Shenmai Injection (SMI) against doxorubicin (DOX) induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis.

Methods: A total of 40 specific pathogen-free (SPF) male Sprague Dawley (SD) male rats were divided into 5 groups based on the random number table, including the control group, the model group, miR-30a agomir group, SMI low-dose (SMI-L) group, and SMI high-dose (SMI-H) group, with 8 rats in each group. Except for the control group, the rats were injected weekly with DOX (2 mg/kg) in the tail vein for 4 weeks to induce myocardial injury, and were given different regimens of continuous intervention for 2 weeks.

Heart remodelling affects ECG in rat DOCA/salt model.

Physiol Res

December 2024

Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic.

Myocardial remodelling involves structural and functional changes in the heart, potentially leading to heart failure. The deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)/salt model is a widely used experimental approach to study hypertension-induced cardiac remodelling. It allows to investigate the mechanisms underlying myocardial fibrosis and hypertrophy, which are key contributors to impaired cardiac function.
