Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent and phospholipid peroxidation-mediated cell death, which has been identified to be involved in sepsis-induced injury. However, the in-depth molecular mechanisms of N-methyladenosine (mA) and ferroptosis on sepsis-induced myocardial injury are still unclear. Here, in the septic myocardial injury, mA methyltransferase METTL3 level and methylation level high-expressed in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiomyocytes (H9C2). Functionally, METTL3 silencing repressed the ferroptosis phenotype induced by LPS. Mechanistically, METTL3-mediated mA methylation on solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) empowered its mRNA with high methylation level. Moreover, YTHDF2 directly bound to the mA modification sites of SLC7A11 to mediate the mRNA degradation. The mA modified SLC7A11 mRNA was recognized by YTHDF2, which promoted the decay of SLC7A11 mRNA, consequently up-regulating ferroptosis in sepsis-induced myocardial injury. Together, these findings establish a role of METTL3 in the ferroptosis of LPS-induced cardiomyocytes, and provide potential therapeutic target to treat the sepsis-induced myocardial injury.

To research the value of Autostrain right ventricular (RV) technology in detecting and preventing right ventricular myocardial injury in patients undergoing breast cancer chemotherapy by providing an imaging basis for early identification. To examine the changes in various cardiac function parameters before and after chemotherapy, two-dimensional echocardiography was employed 48 h before chemotherapy, 48 h after the fourth cycle of chemotherapy, and 48 h after the eighth cycle of chemotherapy, respectively. The patients included those with breast cancer who underwent surgery and were primarily administered anthracycline-based chemotherapeutic drugs.

ROS-differentiated release of Apelin-13 from hydrogel comprehensively treats myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

J Control Release

January 2025

Department of Cardiology, Zhongda Hospital, School of Medicine, Southeast University, 87 Dingjiaqiao, Nanjing 210009, China. Electronic address:

Treatment of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury still faces the lack of clinically approved drugs. Apelin-13 is a highly promising drug candidate of MI/R injury, but hampered by its extremely short half-life in plasma. This calls for efficient and smart delivering system for Apelin-13 delivery, but has not been reported.

Background: Early left ventricular systolic dysfunction is common after moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Echocardiography (Echo) can evaluate cardiac function across various clinical scenarios; however, its utilization in isolated TBI remains poorly understood. To address this gap, we aim to examine Echo utilization in hospitalized adults with isolated TBI.

Purpose: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-established risk factor for postoperative complications. Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are a common orthopedic injury and often require open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). The rise of ORIF utilization warrants investigation into factors that may expose patients to postoperative complications following DRF ORIF.
