We have studied the influence of dietary ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFA) on the functioning of subsarcolemmal and interfibrillar mitochondrial fractions of rat myocardium, changes in expression of cytochrome P450 (CYP2E1) and the activity of enzymes of prooxidant-antioxidant system after isoproterenol-induced myocardial injury. It has been found that in vivo administration of ω-3 PUFA (Epadol 0.1 ml/100 gr of weight for 4 weeks) significantly reduced the swelling of subsarcolemmal and interfibrillar mitochondrial fractions by 65.52% 54.84% respectively, pointing for a decrease of damage of the mitochondrial function evoked by in vivo administration of isoproterenol. In vivo administration of ω-3 PUFAs prevents a decrease in the activity of antioxidant enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase (2.65 and 7.1- fold, respectively) after isoproterenol-induced myocardial injury. We suggest that the development of oxidative stress after isoproterenol-induced myocardial injury can be caused by a significant increase in the expression of cytochrome P450 2E1 (73.3%), and administration of ω-3 PUFAs prevents such changes.

Microgravity-induced cardiac remodeling and dysfunction present significant challenges to long-term spaceflight, highlighting the urgent need to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms and develop precise countermeasures. Previous studies have outlined the important role of miRNAs in cardiovascular disease progression, with miR-199a-3p playing a crucial role in myocardial injury repair and the maintenance of cardiac function. However, the specific role and expression pattern of miR-199a-3p in microgravity-induced cardiac remodeling remain unclear.

Purpose: Cardiomyocyte death is a major cytopathologic response in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and involves complex inflammatory interactions. Although existing reports indicating that mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) is involved in macrophage necroptosis and inflammasome activation, the downstream mechanism of MLKL in necroptosis remain poorly characterized in AMI.
Methods: MLKL knockout mice (MLKL), RIPK3 knockout mice (RIPK3), and macrophage-specific MLKL conditional knockout mice (MLKL) were established.

To investigate how PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) affect the left ventricular function in mice with myocardial infarction (MI) and through what mechanisms they exert their effects. In vivo experiments were conducted using 27 female BALB/c mice, which were divided equally into 3 groups. Cardiac function was assessed by ultrasound.

Esmolol has been demonstrated to mitigate inflammation damage and T lymphocyte apoptosis in septic cardiomyopathy. It has been established that the activation of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) by cluster of differentiation 4(CD4) T lymphocytes expressing choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) can prevent excessive inflammation and reduce splenocyte apoptosis in septic cardiomyopathy. Given the similar anti-inflammatory effects, we hypothesized that esmolol might be associated with α7 nAChR and thereby exert its cardioprotective functions.
