The interactive toxic effect of homocysteine and copper on cardiac microvascular endothelial cells during ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Chem Biol Interact

Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is associated with the development and progression of chronic cardiovascular diseases through the deleterious effects of high levels of homocysteine (Hcy) on the cardiovascular system. However, the exact mechanism of action of Hcy on the acute injury of the cardiovascular system following ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) remains unclear. The present study demonstrated that copper mobilization occurs during cardiac I/R, and the interactive toxic effect of Hcy and mobile Cu during cardiac I/R induces necroptosis of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs) and thus enhances cardiac dysfunction.

Serum homocysteine and left ventricular hypertrophy in adults with chronic kidney disease: A case-control study.

Medicine (Baltimore)

November 2024

Department of Cardiology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, Hengyang, Hunan, China.

Hyperhomocysteinemia (serum homocysteine concentration > 15 μmol/L) is of high prevalence in chronic kidney disease (CKD). And myocardial hypertrophy is a common complication of CKD. Given that both hyperhomocysteinemia and cardiac hypertrophy have an association with CKD, we hypothesized that high level of plasma homocysteine (Hcy) is associated with a higher prevalence of ventricular hypertrophy(LVH) in adults with CKD.

Prediction of ischemic stroke in patients with H-type hypertension based on biomarker.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Clinical Laboratory, Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, Anzhen Road No. 2, Chaoyang District, Beijing, 100029, China.

Hypertension combined with hyperhomocysteinemia significantly raises the risk of ischemic stroke. Our study aimed to develop and validate a biomarker-based prediction model for ischemic stroke in Hyperhomocysteinemia-type (H-type) hypertension patients. We retrospectively included 3,305 patients in the development cohort, and externally validated in 103 patients from another cohort.

Systematic low-grade chronic inflammation and intrinsic mechanisms in polycystic ovary syndrome.

Front Immunol

January 2025

Reproductive Endocrinology and Regulation Laboratory, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine and metabolic disorder affecting 6-20% of women of childbearing age worldwide. Immune cell imbalance and dysregulation of inflammatory factors can lead to systematic low-grade chronic inflammation (SLCI), which plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of PCOS. A significant higher infiltration of immune cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes and pro-inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α has been detected in PCOS organ systems, impacting not only the female reproductive system but also other organs such as the cardiovascular, intestine, liver, thyroid, brain and other organs.

The relationship between serum uric acid and homocysteine is influenced by kidney function.

Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis

November 2024

Department of Endocrinology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jinan, Shandong, 250001, People's Republic of China. Electronic address:

Background And Aim: Prior research has established a relationship between homocysteine (Hcy) and serum uric acid (SUA) levels; however, the precise mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear. The objective of this research was to explore the correlation between SUA and Hcy and to evaluate the possible role of kidney function as a mediator in the connection between SUA and Hcy.

Methods And Results: Consecutive enrollment of 16870 participants aged 20-60 years was conducted at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University.
