Backgrounds: The role of miR-191-5p in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury has been established, with its expression in endothelial cells demonstrating anti-angiogenic effects. A potential circular RNA, circRNA_0003307, has been identified through bioinformatics analysis as a candidate for interaction with miR-191-5p, yet its functional significance in brain I/R injury remains unexplored. We aimed to investigate whether circRNA_0003307 regulates brain microvascular endothelial cell (BMEC) vascular tube formation, invasion, and migration by regulating the miR-191-5p cascade.
Methods: Mouse BMECs (bEnd.3) were culturedand exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD). The effects of circRNA_0003307 on vessel-like tube formation and cellular migration were examined. In addition, we investigated the protective effects of circRNA_0003307 on I/R injury in mice.
Results: The results showed the level of circRNA_0003307 was concentration-dependently increased in OGD-induced bEnd.3 cells. ODG-induction enhanced angiogenesis, migration, and invasion of bEnd.3 cells, which were further promoted by the transfection of pcDNA-0003307. Silencing circRNA_0003307 expression showed the opposite results. The dual luciferase assay demonstrated miRNA-191-5p interacted with circRNA_00033073' UTR, and miRNA-191-5p could bind with CDK6. Meanwhile, circRNA_0003307 promoted the expression of CDK6 by sponging miRNA-191-5p. The overexpression of circRNA_0003307 activated the angiogenesis, migration, and invasion of OGD-induced bEnd.3 cells, which were hindered by miRNA-191-5p mimic or siRNA-CDK6. Thus, circRNA_0003307 promoted ODG-induced angiogenesis, migration, and invasion of bEnd.3 cells by targeting miR-191-5p/CDK6 axis. In vivo, circRNA_0003307 had protective effects on brain I/R injury, including neuroprotection, anti-apoptosis and angiogenesis.
Conclusion: CircRNA_0003307 may be a promisingtherapeutictarget forthe treatment of cerebral I/R injury.

Recent studies have suggested that sVEGFR3 is involved in cardiac diseases by regulating lymphangiogenesis; however, results are inconsistent. The aim of this study was to investigate the function and mechanism of sVEGFR3 in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI). sVEGFR3 effects were evaluated in vivo in mice subjected to MI/RI, and in vitro using HL-1 cells exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion.

Background: Hydrogen sulfide (HS) is a widely studied gasotransmitter, and its protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion damage has been explored in several studies. Therefore, a requirement exists for a comprehensive study about HS effects on ischemia-reperfusion damage in flap surgery. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of hydrogen sulfide by creating ischemia-reperfusion injury in the vascular-stemmed island flap prepared from the rat groin area.

Background: Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) often results in renal impairment. While the presence of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is consistently observed, their specific impact on IRI is not yet defined. Sivelestat sodium, an inhibitor of neutrophil elastase which is crucial for NET formation, may offer a therapeutic approach to renal IRI, warranting further research.

Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury refers to cell damage that occurs as a consequence of the restoration of blood circulation following reperfusion therapy for cardiovascular diseases, and it is a primary cause of myocardial infarction. The search for nove therapeutic targets in the context of I/R injury is currently a highly active area of research. p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K1) plays an important role in I/R induced necrosis, although the specific mechanisms remain unclear.

Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and coronary microcirculation dysfunction (CMD) are observed in patients with myocardial infarction after vascular recanalization. The antianginal drug trimetazidine has been demonstrated to exert a protective effect in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of trimetazidine in endothelial cell dysfunction caused by myocardial I/R injury and thus improve coronary microcirculation.
