Novel Protective Role for Gut Microbiota-derived Metabolite PAGln in Doxorubicin-induced Cardiotoxicity.
Cardiovasc Drugs Ther

Department of Pharmacy, The Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, 410011, Hunan, China.
Purpose: Doxorubicin (Dox) is a classic anthracycline chemotherapy drug with cause cumulative and dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to investigate the potential role and molecular mechanism of phenylacetylglutamine (PAGln), a novel gut microbiota metabolite, in Dox-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC).
Methods: DIC models were established in vivo and in vitro, and a series of experiments were performed to verify the cardioprotective effect of PAGln.
Background: Familial hyperlipidemia (familial hypercholesterolemia, FH) is an autosomal genetic disorder. It includes type heterozygous familial hyperlipidemia (heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia). HeFH is mainly caused by mutations in the LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 genes and is characterized by elevated plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels.

Background And Aims: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and other disorders with similar features are common genetic disorders that remain underdiagnosed and undertreated, due in part to the cost of screening. The aim of this study was to design and implement a whole gene targeted NGS panel for the molecular diagnosis of FH and statin intolerance with an emphasis on high quality variant calling, including copy number analysis.
Methods: A whole gene panel for hybridisation-based short read NGS was designed for the dominant FH-genes low density lipoprotein receptor (), apolipoprotein B (APOB), proproteinconvertas subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), apolipoprotein E (APOE) and the recessive FH-genes low density lipoprotein receptor adaptor protein 1 (), ATP binding cassette subfamily member 5/8 (ABCG5/8) and lipase A, lysosomal acid type (), as well as solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1 (), not an FH gene but linked to statin intolerance.
Casz1 and Znf101/Zfp961 differentially regulate apolipoproteins A1 and B, alter plasma lipoproteins, and reduce atherosclerosis.

High apolipoprotein B-containing (apoB-containing) low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and low apoA1-containing high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. In search of a molecular regulator that could simultaneously and reciprocally control both LDL and HDL levels, we screened a microRNA (miR) library using human hepatoma Huh-7 cells. We identified miR-541-3p that both significantly decreases apoB and increases apoA1 expression by inducing mRNA degradation of 2 different transcription factors, Znf101 and Casz1.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disease, usually with onset during childhood, characterized by elevated blood LDL cholesterol levels and potentially associated with severe cardiovascular complications. Concerning mutated genes in FH, such as , a small subset of FH patients presents a homozygous genotype, resulting in homozygous FH (HoFH) disease with a generally aggressive phenotype. Besides statins, ezetimibe and PCSK9 inhibitors, lomitapide (an anti-ApoB therapy) was also approved in 2012-2013 as an adjunctive treatment for HoFH.
