The aim of the present study was to verify the hypothesis that SS receptor subtypes (SSTRs) are expressed by H9c2 cardiac muscle cells. SSTRs expression was investigated by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis at both mRNA and protein level. Our findings demonstrate that H9c2 cells express all SSTR subtypes I-5 (SSTRI-5) at the mRNA and protein level. Thus, H9c2 cells would represent a new model to study the direct biological activities of SS and its analogues at the cardiac level.

G protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) is gaining recognition as a potential therapeutic target for several metabolic disturbances, such as hyperglycemia and excessive inflammation. GPR40 is expressed in various tissues, including the heart; however, its specific roles in cardiomyocytes remain unknown. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether treatment with AM1638, a GPR40-full agonist, reduces palmitate-mediated cell damage in H9c2 rat cardiomyocytes.

Objective: Heart failure (HF) causes structural and functional changes in the heart, with the pyroptosis-mediated inflammatory response as the core link in HF pathogenesis. E3 ubiquitin ligases participate in cardiovascular disease progression. Here, we explored the underlying molecular mechanisms of E3 ubiquitin ligase Smurf1 in governing HF.

Article Synopsis
- Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a major complication after myocardial infarction, and the role of mitochondria-related genes in this process is not well understood.
- Researchers utilized specific datasets (GSE67308 and GSE61592) to identify genes associated with MIRI and found glycine decarboxylase (Gldc) to be significantly elevated in MIRI models.
- Experiments showed that reducing Gldc levels improved cell survival and reduced inflammation during hypoxia/reperfusion injury, indicating its potential as a diagnostic and therapeutic target for MIRI.

Several studies have associated the epitranscriptomic RNA modification of N6-methyladenosine (mA) with cardiovascular diseases; however, how mA modification affects cardiomyocyte pyroptosis after myocardial infarction (MI) remains unknown. Here, we showed that AlkB homolog 5 (ALKBH5), an mA demethylase, is crucial in cardiomyocyte pyroptosis after MI. We used MI rat and mouse models, a cell hypoxia model of rat primary cardiomyocytes (RCMs), and rat embryonic ventricle cell line (H9c2) to explore the functional role of mA modification and ALKBH5 in the heart and cardiomyocytes.

The aim of this study was to evaluate for the effects of forsythiaside A (FA) on myocardial injury in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mice. Blood glucose (BG), serum triglycerides (TG), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), cardiac troponin (cTnI), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were detected in STZ mice. The structure and function of heart was observed via cardiac ultrasound.
