Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the most common causes of heart failure. Infiltration and alterations in non-cardiomyocytes of the human heart involve crucially in the occurrence of DCM and associated immunotherapeutic approaches.
Methods: We constructed a single-cell transcriptional atlas of DCM and normal patients.

Inflammation and a metabolic shift from oxidative metabolism to glycolysis are common in the ischemic heart, the latter partly controlled by pyruvate kinase (muscle, PKM). We previously identified alternative splicing promoting the PKM2 isoform after myocardial infarction (MI). We examined the role of PKM2 physiological upregulation after MI, modeled by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, using global PKM2 knockout (PKM2) mice.

Enhanced glycolysis and elevated lactic acid (LA) production are observed during sudden death syndrome (SDS) in broilers. However, the mechanism underlying LA-induced cardiomyocyte damage and heart failure in fast-growing broilers remains unclear. In this study, chicken embryo cardiomyocytes (CECs) were cultured and treated with LA to investigate LA-induced CEC injury and its mechanism, aiming to develop strategies to prevent LA-induced SDS in broilers.

Aims: The transcription factor NRF2 is well recognized as a master regulator of antioxidant responses and cytoprotective genes. Previous studies showed that NRF2 enhances resistance of mouse hearts to chronic hemodynamic overload at least in part by reducing oxidative stress. Evidence from other tissues suggests that NRF2 may modulate glucose intermediary metabolism but whether NRF2 has such effects in the heart is unclear.
