Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury leads to irreversible cardiomyocyte death and aggravates myocardial infarction. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are essential for maintaining substrate protein stability and functionality, playing significant roles in cardiac pathophysiology. In this study, we aimed to clarify the regulatory role of a DUB, Myb-like, SWIRM, and MPN domains 1 protein (MYSM1), in myocardial I/R injury and explore the molecular mechanism behind. Firstly, it was found that the expression of MYSM1 positively correlates with myocardial I/R injury. Genetic knockdown of MYSM1 significantly conferred protection against I/R injury in hearts. Correspondingly, AAV9-mediated cardiomyocyte-specific knockdown of MYSM1 had a therapeutic effect on myocardial I/R injury. Through a comprehensive proteome-wide quantitative analysis, we identified signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) as the direct substrate of MYSM1. Mechanistically, MYSM1 mediated the K63-linked deubiquitination and stabilization of STAT1 at position K379 via its MPN metalloprotease domain. Additionally, MYSM1 initiates the expression of necroptosis-related genes by promoting the transcription factor function of STAT1. This study illustrated a MYSM1-STAT1 axis in regulating myocardial I/R injury and identified MYSM1 as a pharmacological target for myocardial I/R injury.

Acute myocardial infarction, a leading cause of death globally, is often associated with cardiometabolic disorders such as atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome. Metabolic treatment of these disorders can improve cardiac outcomes, as exemplified by the GLP-1 agonist semaglutide. Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a novel metabolic regulator, plays pivotal roles in lipid mobilization and energy conversion, reducing lipotoxicity, inflammation, mitochondrial health, and subsequent tissue damage in organs such as the liver, pancreas, and heart.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the primary cause of cardiac mortality worldwide. However, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) following reperfusion therapy is common in AMI, causing myocardial damage and affecting the patient's prognosis. Presently, there are no effective treatments available for MIRI.

Background: Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is the most prevalent form of brain stroke, affecting many patients worldwide. It is believed that oxidative stress and inflammation play major roles in the damage that occurs after the initiation of the disease.
Objectives: Therefore, for the first time, the current study aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of bupropion against cerebral I/R damage in a rat model.

Ischemeia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a severe complication after restoring blood perfusion in acute myocardial infarction treatment, in which vascular endothelial cell dysfunction is considered as the key event to exacerbate myocardial injury. We have previously verified the protective function of ZNF580 in endothelial cells, however, the impact of ZNF580 on I/R injury and its underlying mechanisms have not been explored in depth. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the regulatory role of ZNF580 on myocardial I/R injury and confirm that ZNF580 is a potential therapeutic candidate for I/R injury treatment.

Testicular ischemia/reperfusion injury (TI/RI) is a significant clinical contributor to subfertility and infertility resulting from testicular torsion and subsequent detortion. Insufficient nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in TI/RI can result in endothelial dysfunction, as the vascular endothelium fails to produce sufficient NO to sustain appropriate vasodilation and blood perfusion. Many studies have found that NO plays an important role in the I/RI and its increase or decrease can affect the progression and outcome of I/RI.
