Activated macrophages contribute to endothelial dysfunction; however, it is unclear how peroxynitrite contributes to macrophage-mediated human cardiac microvascular endothelial cell (HCMEC) injury in hypoxia. In macrophage-HCMEC co-cultures subjected to hypoxia, there was an increase in hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α, HIF-2α, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), endothelin-converting enzyme (ECE)-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and concomitant decrease in prostacyclin synthase (PGIS). This was mimicked by a peroxynitrite donor and attenuated by its decomposition catalyst. Tongxinluo (TXL) could decrease HIF-2α, iNOS, ECE-1 and COX-2 and increase PGIS in a dose-dependent manner, with increase of vascular endothelial growth factor. The protein alterations verified the remarkably affected mRNAs, indicating that the effects of TXL were similar to but better than that of peroxynitrite decomposition catalyst. Furthermore, TXL inhibited macrophage-mediated nitrotyrosine accumulation and attenuated HCMEC injury. The results suggest that peroxynitrite contributes to macrophage-mediated HCMEC injury in hypoxia, and TXL attenuates HCMEC injury mainly by inhibiting peroxynitrite.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of angiogenesis-related genes (ARGs) in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) and seeks to identify key genes for therapeutic targeting.
- Using mouse heart datasets and various bioinformatics techniques, 47 differentially expressed ARGs were found, with 41 upregulated and 6 downregulated.
- Key hub genes such as suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 showed strong diagnostic potential for MIRI, with successful validation of mRNA and protein expression.

Article Synopsis
- Acid sphingomyelinase (ASM) inhibitors, like amitriptyline, aid in recovering from post-stroke depression and enhance neurological recovery through neurorestorative effects in stroke models.
- The study revealed that amitriptyline boosts the formation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) in both human endothelial cells and mice models, which plays a key role in its ability to promote angiogenesis.
- Furthermore, amitriptyline triggers a metabolic reprogramming in endothelial cells that reduces harmful stress while encouraging protective responses, with the antioxidant heme oxygenase-1 being crucial for mediating its angiogenic effects.

Background: Radiation therapy is the standard of care for central nervous system tumours. Despite the success of radiation therapy in reducing tumour mass, irradiation (IR)-induced vasculopathies and neuroinflammation contribute to late-delayed complications, neurodegeneration, and premature ageing in long-term cancer survivors. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that facilitate tissue integrity, homeostasis, and repair.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) represents a critical pathology in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), which is characterized by high mortality and morbidity. Cardiac microvascular dysfunction contributes to MIRI, potentially culminating in heart failure (HF). Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), which belongs to the non-inhibitory serpin family, exhibits several physiological effects, including anti-angiogenesis, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Protection of the structural and functional integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is crucial for treating ischemic stroke (IS). Hydroxysafflor yellow A (HSYA) and quercetin (Quer), two main active components in the edible and medicinal plant L., have been reported to exhibit neuroprotective effects.
