Article Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) triggers a reparative response involving fibroblast proliferation and differentiation driving extracellular matrix modulation necessary to form a stabilizing scar. Recently, it was shown that a genetic variant of the base excision repair enzyme NEIL3 was associated with increased risk of MI in humans. Here, we report elevated myocardial NEIL3 expression in heart failure patients and marked myocardial upregulation of Neil3 after MI in mice, especially in a fibroblast-enriched cell fraction. Neil3 mice show increased mortality after MI caused by myocardial rupture. Genome-wide analysis of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) reveals changes in the cardiac epigenome, including in genes related to the post-MI transcriptional response. Differentially methylated genes are enriched in pathways related to proliferation and myofibroblast differentiation. Accordingly, Neil3 ruptured hearts show increased proliferation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts. We propose that NEIL3-dependent modulation of DNA methylation regulates cardiac fibroblast proliferation and thereby affects extracellular matrix modulation after MI.

Triptolide (TP) is the primary pharmacological component of Tripterygium Glycosides (TG), which has anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive properties, among other pharmacological actions, and has excellent potential for developing into a new DMARD. We have reviewed the effects and mechanisms of TP on immunosuppression, inhibiting synovial proliferation, and preventing articular bone destruction in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which is a common disease in the elderly in this paper. We have found that TP has regulatory effects on multiple vital cells in the above-mentioned pathological process of RA, such as monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, T cells, fibroblast-like synoviocytes, and osteoclasts.

Foot ulcers are amongst the most prevalent complications of diabetes, known for their delayed healing process. Recent research indicates that the transcription factor forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) plays a role in promoting diabetic ulcer repair. However, the precise mechanisms underlying FOXM1 functions in this context remain unclear.
