Our work aims to elucidate the effect how microRNA-148b (miR-148b) participated in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury via regulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The in vivo myocardial I/R models of SD rats and in vitro hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) models of H9C2 cells were established. The heart function and infarction area of rats and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels were evaluated. Myocardial cell viability was measured using positron emission tomography combined with computer tomography and (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, and the apoptosis was assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick-end labeling method and flow cytometry; quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blot were used to detect the related molecules expressions. The myocardial infarction area of rats was significantly increased with reductions in LVSP, + dp/dtmax, - dp/dtmax, LVFS%, LVEF% and standardized uptake value and elevation in left ventricular developed pressure after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), and the LDH, CK, and MDA levels were enhanced with the decreased SOD. The apoptotic rates were higher in I/R rats and H/R H9C2 cells with upregulated miR-148b and cleaved caspase-3, but decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio; and meanwhile, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway was inhibited. Additionally, the H/R-induced H9C2 cells also exhibited decreased cell viability. MiR-148b overexpression further aggravated I/R injury of rats, whereas inhibition of miR-148b reduced I/R and H/R injury through activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway. In addition, Wnt-1 small interfering RNA exposure abolished the effect of miR-148b inhibitor on H/R injury of H9C2 cells. Inhibition of miR-148b improved the antioxidative ability and myocardial cell survival to suppress its apoptosis by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, thus ameliorating the myocardial I/R injury.

The clinical application of doxorubicin (DOX) is limited due to its cardiotoxicity, which is primarily attributed to its interaction with iron in mitochondria, leading to lipid peroxidation and myocardial ferroptosis. This study aimed to investigate the role of the gut microbiota-derived metabolite, indole-3-lactic acid (ILA), in mitigating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Cardiac function, pathological changes, and myocardial ferroptosis were assessed in vivo.

Mitochondrial homeostasis is crucial for maintaining cellular energy production and preventing oxidative stress, which is essential for overall cellular function and longevity. Mitochondrial damage and dysfunction often occur concomitantly in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). Notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1), a unique saponin from the traditional Chinese medicine Panax notoginseng, has been shown to alleviate MIRI in previous studies, though its precise mechanism remains unclear.

Objectives: The close relationship of proto-oncogenes to myocardial hypertrophy has long been recognized, and cardiac hypertrophy leads to heart failure (HF). However, whether proviral insertion of Moloney virus 3 kinase (Pim3), a proto-oncogene, contributes to cardiac hypertrophy in diabetes mellitus (DM) remains unknown. This study aims to investigate whether Pim3 is involved in DM-induced cardiac hypertrophy and HF and to elucidate its underlying mechanisms.

Purpose: Targeting mitochondrial ferroptosis presents a promising strategy for mitigating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of the mitochondrial-targeted ferroptosis inhibitor SS-31@Fer-1 (elamipretide@ferrostatin1) in reducing myocardial I/R injury.
Methods: SS-31@Fer-1 was synthesized and applied to H9C2 cells subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) to assess its protective effects.

Melatonin (MEL), functioning as a circulating hormone, is important for the regulation of ferroptosis in different health scenarios and acts as a crucial antioxidant in cardiovascular diseases. However, its specific function in ferroptosis related to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) remains to be fully elucidated. In our research, we utilized a rat model of MIRI induced by coronary artery ligation, along with a cell model subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R).
