Background/aim: Induction of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is important in the tolerance of subsequent ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of HSP70 induction by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3) on subsequent I/R injury in rats.
Methods: HSP70 was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by VD3 treatment for 7 days, and the effect of VD3 pretreatment on subsequent I/R injury was evaluated in terms of renal function, tubular necrosis score, tumor necrosis factor alpha mRNA expression, mitogen-activated protein kinase expression, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression.
Results: VD3 treatment increased HSP70 expression which was localized to renal tubular cells in the outer medulla. Pretreatment with VD3 before I/R injury resulted in (1) decreased blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine levels; (2) decreased tubular cell necrosis; (3) increased tubular cell proliferation as determined by proliferating cell nuclear antigen expression; (4) decreased tumor necrosis factor alpha mRNA expression, and (5) increased extracellular signal regulated protein kinase and decreased c-Jun N-terminal kinase expression.
Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that VD3 is a nontoxic inducer of HSP70 and exerts a protective effect against subsequent I/R injury.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the protective effect of a clinical dose esketamine on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and to reveal the potential mechanisms associated with microglial polarization and autophagy.
Methods: Experimental cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in adult rats and simulated by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in BV-2 microglial cells. Neurological and sensorimotor function, cerebral infarct volume, histopathological changes, mitochondrial morphological changes, and apoptosis of ischemic brain tissues were assessed in the presence or absence of esketamine and the autophagy inducer rapamycin.

Background: Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, which is associated with high morbidity and mortality, is a main cause of unexpected myocardial injury after acute myocardial infarction. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Circular RNAs (circRNAs), which are formed from protein-coding genes, can sequester microRNAs or proteins, modulate transcription and interfere with splicing.

A balanced diet is essential for maintaining human health. Increasing evidence suggests that dietary and nutritional interventions contribute to disease management and are associated with reduced healthcare costs and economic burden. Ferroptosis, a novel type of regulated cell death (RCD) driven by lipid peroxidation, has been shown to be involved in various pathological conditions, including diabetes, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, inflammation-related diseases, and cancer.

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a significant clinical problem impacting the heart and other organs, such as the kidneys and liver. This study explores the protective effects of oxycodone on myocardial I/R injury and its underlying mechanisms. Using a myocardial I/R model in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model in H9c2 cells, we administered oxycodone and inhibited AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) with Compound C (C.

Programmed necrosis/necroptosis greatly contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiac disorders including myocardial infarction, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and heart failure. However, the fundamental mechanism underlying myocardial necroptosis, especially the mitochondria-dependent death pathway, is poorly understood. Synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1), a Ca sensor, is originally identified in nervous system and mediates synchronous neurotransmitter release.
