Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of death worldwide and currently there are limited therapies that can regenerate the lost cardiac cells following MI. To enhance the therapeutic effects of human induced pluripotent stem cell‑derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC‑CM) transplantation for treatment of MI, the present study sought to increase the pro‑angiogenic effect of hiPSC‑CM by overexpressing a mutated hypoxia‑inducible factor 1‑alpha (HIF‑1α; P402A; P564A) via lentivirus transfection. Morphology and the electrophysiology of the genetically engineered cell were both unchanged. The present study demonstrated that the proangiogenic factors in the conditioned medium of the HIF‑1α‑overexpressing hiPSC‑CM (HIF‑CM) were upregulated and subsequently resulted to the rescue of the tube forming ability and migratory ability of the hypoxia‑injured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Using a MI mouse model, the present study demonstrated that the transplantation of HIF‑CM greatly improved cardiac function, decreased scar size, promoted the concentration of the proangiogenic factors in circulation and promoted the neovessel formation in mice with MI. In conclusion, HIF‑1α‑overexpressing hiPSC‑CM could increase the angiogenesis of endothelial cells and mediate cardioprotection in mouse following MI.

Inoculation of Bothrops jararaca snake venom (BjV) induces thrombocytopenia in humans and various animal species. Although several BjV toxins acting on hemostasis have been well characterized in vitro, it is not known which one is responsible for inducing thrombocytopenia in vivo. In previous studies, we showed that BjV incubated with metalloproteinase or serine proteinase inhibitors and/or anti-botrocetin antibodies still induced thrombocytopenia in rats and mice.

Sacubitril/valsartan, a first-in-class angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor, is widely used to treat heart failure. Despite its efficacy, sacubitril/valsartan inevitably causes adverse events such as hypotension, renal dysfunction, hyperkalemia, and angioedema. Sacubitril/valsartan-associated ototoxicity is often underreported in clinical studies and real-world settings.
