To investigate the mechanisms of dezocine on regulating H9C2 oxidative stress and apoptosis of rat cardiac myocytes induced by hypoxia-reoxygenation(H/R) by regulating the expressions of microRNA-7a- 5p(miR-7a-5p)/ubiquitin E3 ligase tripartite motif 10(TRIM10). H9C2 cells were divided into control group (cultured normally), H/R group (treated with hypoxia for 3 h and then reoxygenation for 4 h), different doses of dezocine intervention group (H9c2 cells were pretreated with dezocine at the concentrations of 10, 10 and 10 mmol/L for 24 h, and then treated with H/R), H/R+miR-7a-5p group (H9C2 cells were transfected with miR-7a-5p mimics and then treated with H/R), H/R+miR-NC group (H9C2 cells were transfected with miR-NC and then treated with H/R), H/R+Dezocine+anti-miR-7a-5p group (H9c2 cells transfected with anti-miR-7a-5p were pretreated with 10 mmol/L dezocine for 24 h, and then treated with H/R), H/R+dezocine+ anti-miR-NC Group (H9c2 cells transfected with anti-miR-NC were pretreated with 10 mmol/L dezocine for 24 h, and then treated with H/R). Each group of cells was set with 3 replicate wells, and the experiment was repeated 3 times. The content of malondialdehyde(MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and glutathione peroxidas(GSH-Px) were detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The cells apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The protein expressions of B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax) and TRIM10 were detected by Western blot, and the expressions of miR-7a-5p and TRIM10 mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR). The double luciferase reporter gene experiment was used to verify the regulatory relationship between miR-7a-5p and TRIM10. Compared with the control group, the MDA content, apoptosis rate, the expression of Bax protein, and the expression of TRIM10 mRNA and protein in the H/R group were all increased (<0.05), while the activities of SOD and GSH-Px, and the expressions of Bcl-2 protein and miR-7a-5p were all decreased (<0.05). Compared with the H/R group, the MDA content, apoptosis rate, the expression of Bax protein, and the expression of TRIM10 mRNA and protein in the different doses of dezocine intervention group were decreased (<0.05), while the activities of SOD and GSH-Px, and the expressions of Bcl-2 protein and miR-7a-5p were all increased (<0.05), and there were significant differences in each index between the different doses of dezocine intervention groups (< 0.05). Compared with the H/R+miR-NC group, the MDA content, apoptosis rate, the protein expressions of Bax and TRIM10 in the H/R+miR-7a-5p group were decreased (<0.05), while the activities of SOD and GSH-Px, and the expression of Bcl-2 protein were all increased (<0.05). Compared with the H/R+dezocine+anti- miR-NC group, the MDA content, apoptosis rate, the protein expressions of Bax and TRIM10 in the H/R+dezocine+anti-miR-7a-5p group were all increased (<0.05), while the activities of SOD and GSH-Px, and the expression of Bcl-2 protein were all decreased (<0.05). Dezocine can reduce oxidative stress and apoptosis of rat cardiomyocytes H9C2 induced by H/R, which may play a role in regulating the miR-7a-5p / TRIM10 axis.

Background: Polo-like kinase 2 (PLK2) is associated with cardiac fibrosis in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, the role of PLK2 in sepsis-induced cardiac injury has not been fully elucidated. We hypothesize that PLK2 may participate in the progression of sepsis-induced cardiac injury.

Purpose: Cardiac inflammation is a basic pathological process of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Inflammatory response is closely related to pyroptosis, which is a recently identified programmed cell death type. Curcumin (CUR) is a polyphenol extracted from turmeric and has been reported to be crucial in alleviating pyroptosis in DCM.

Introduction: Taohong Siwu decoction (THSWD), a traditional prescription for enhancing blood circulation and eliminating blood stasis, primarily comprises peach kernel, safflower, angelica, chuanxiong, and rehmannia. Modified Taohong Siwu decoction (MTHSWD), an advanced version of THSWD, incorporates additional ingredients such as epimedium, cinnamon, and salvia miltiorrhiza. This addition serves to augment its efficacy in warming yang and promoting blood circulation.

Background: Diabetes is a primary contributor to diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM), which is marked by metabolic imbalances such as elevated blood glucose and lipid levels, leading to significant structural and functional alterations in the myocardium. Elevated free fatty acids (FFAs) and hyperglycemia play critical roles in DbCM development, with FFAs inducing insulin resistance in cardiomyocytes and promoting lipid accumulation, resulting in oxidative stress and fibrosis. Current research suggests that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists may effectively mitigate DbCM, although an effective treatment for this condition remains elusive, and the precise mechanisms of this protective effect are not fully understood.
