[Objective]To investigate the regulatory effect and potential mechanisms of isocitrate dehydrogenase 3A(IDH3A)on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.[Methods]The expression of IDH3A in the myocardium of healthy volunteers(n=10)and patients with heart failure(HF)(n=10),and in the myocardium of mice subjected to transverse aortic constriction(TAC)surgery and sham operation,as well as in phenylephrine(PE)-induced neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes(NRVCs),was assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)and Western blot assay.The effect of adenovirus-mediated overexpression of IDH3A on the expression of hypertrophy-related genes in PE-induced NRVCs was also evaluated.The effect of IDH3A on NRVCs area was examined by phalloidin staining assay.A mutant of IDH3A with abolished enzymatic activity,IDH3A_D208A,was generated through site-directed mutagenesis.The impact of this IDH3A mutant on the hypertrophic phenotype,ATP and ROS levels in NRVCs was evaluated to investigate whether the regulatory role of IDH3A in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was dependent on its enzymatic activity.The effect of exogenous α-ketoglutaric acid(AKG)on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was also detected by Western blot and phalloidin staining assay,respectively.[Results]IDH3A was significantly decreased in the myocardium of HF patients,in the myocardium of TAC-operated mice,and in PE-induced NRVCs(P=0.005 2,P=0.026 6,P=0.041 3 and P=0.006 6,respectively).Overexpression of IDH3A markedly suppressed the expression of hypertrophy-related genes and the increase of cell size of PE-induced NRVCs(P<0.000 1,P=0.000 1 and P=0.000 2,respectively).The ATP and ROS analysis indicated that IDH3A inhibited the increases of ATP and ROS levels in PE-induced NRVCs(P=0.001 2 and P<0.000 1,respectively),whereas the enzymatically inactive IDH3A mutant lacked this effect.Exogenous AKG provision could,but overexpression of IDH3A mutant failed to suppress PE-induced NRVCs hypertrophy.[Conclusion]IDH3A inhibits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy via elevating AKG level,providing scientific evidence for study on IDH3A-based treatment of cardiac hypertrophy.

This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which resveratrol(RES) alleviates cerebral vascular endothelial damage in sepsis-associated encephalopathy(SAE) through network pharmacology and animal experiments. By using network pharmacology, the study identified common targets and genes associated with RES and SAE and constructed a protein-protein interaction( PPI) network. Gene Ontology(GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed to pinpoint key signaling pathways, followed by molecular docking validation. In the animal experiments, a cecum ligation and puncture(CLP) method was employed to induce SAE in mice. The mice were randomly assigned to the sham group, CLP group, and medium-dose and high-dose groups of RES. The sham group underwent open surgery without CLP, and the CLP group received an intraperitoneal injection of 0. 9% sodium chloride solution after surgery. The medium-dose and high-dose groups of RES were injected intraperitoneally with 40 mg·kg-1 and 60 mg·kg~(-1) of RES after modeling, respectively, and samples were collected 12 hours later. Neurological function scores were assessed, and the wet-dry weight ratio of brain tissue was detected. Serum superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase( CAT) activity, and malondialdehyde( MDA) content were measured by oxidative stress kit. Histopathological changes in brain tissue were examined using hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining. Transmission electron microscopy was employed to evaluate tight cell junctions and mitochondrial ultrastructure changes in cerebral vascular endothelium. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression of zonula occludens1( ZO-1), occludin, claudins-5, optic atrophy 1( OPA1), mitofusin 2(Mfn2), dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1), fission 1(Fis1), and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α). Network pharmacology identified 76 intersecting targets for RES and SAE, with the top five core targets being EGFR, PTGS2, ESR1, HIF-1α, and APP. GO enrichment analysis showed that RES participated in the SAE mechanism through oxidative stress reaction. KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that RES participated in SAE therapy through HIF-1α, Rap1, and other signaling pathways. Molecular docking results showed favorable docking activity between RES and key targets such as HIF-1α. Animal experiment results demonstrated that compared to the sham group, the CLP group exhibited reduced nervous reflexes, decreased water content in brain tissue, as well as serum SOD and CAT activity, and increased MDA content. In addition, the CLP group exhibited disrupted tight junctions in cerebral vascular endothelium and abnormal mitochondrial morphology. The protein expression levels of Drp1, Fis1, and HIF-1α in brain tissue were increased, while those of ZO-1, occludin, claudin-5, Mfn2, and OPA1 were decreased. In contrast, the medium-dose and high-dose groups of RES showed improved neurological function, increased water content in brain tissue and SOD and CAT activity, and decreased MDA content. Cell morphology in brain tissue, tight junctions between endothelial cells, and mitochondrial structure were improved. The protein expressions of Drp1, Fis1, and HIF-1α were decreased, while those of ZO-1, occludin, claudin-5, Mfn2, and OPA1 were increased. This study suggested that RES could ameliorate cerebrovascular endothelial barrier function and maintain mitochondrial homeostasis by inhibiting oxidative stress after SAE damage, potentially through modulation of the HIF-1α signaling pathway.
