OBJECTIVE To explore whether pachymic acid (Pac) regulates mitochondrial autophagy mediated by the PTEN- induced kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase (Parkin) signaling pathway to alleviate myocardial injury in coronary heart disease (CHD) rats. METHODS SD rats were divided into control (Con) group, CHD group, Pac low-dose group (Pac-L group), Pac high-dose group (Pac-H group), Pac-H+PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway inhibitor group (Pac-H+3-MA group), with 10 rats in each group. Except for the Con group, CHD models were established in the remaining groups of rats. After successful modeling, the rats in each group were intraperitoneally injected with the corresponding drugs or normal saline. After continuous intervention for 4 weeks, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the rats were detected. The levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in the serum, as well as the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-1β, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) in the myocardial tissue, and the activities of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), as well as the expression levels of p62, cleaved caspase-3, Parkin, PINK1 proteins and the ratio of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ (LC3Ⅱ)/LC3Ⅰ ratio were measured. The morphology of myocardial tissue and mitochondrial autophagic vesicles were observed, and the number of mitochondrial autophagic vesicles per unit area and the rate of cardiomyocyte apoptosis were counted. RESULTS Compared with CHD group, LVEF, MAP, IL-10 levels, CAT and SOD activities, p62, Parkin, PINK1 protein expressions, LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ ratio, the numbers of mitochondrial autophagic vesicles per unit area in the Pac-L and Pac-H E-mail:hzdpft@163.com groups were increased significantly (P<0.05); the levels of LVEDV, LVESV, CK-MB, LDH, cTnI, cTnT, TNF-α, IL-1β, ROS and MDA, cell apoptosis rates, and protein expression of cleaved caspase-3 were all decreased significantly (P<0.05); and the changes in various indicators were more pronounced in the Pac-H group (P<0.05); both groups showed varying degree of improvement in myocardial histopathological morphology. Compared with the Pac-H group, the aforementioned indicators in rats from the Pac-H+3-MA group were all significantly reversed (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Pac may promote mitochondrial autophagy in cardiomyocytes of CHD rats by activating the PINK1/ Parkin signaling pathway, thereby reducing inflammatory responses and oxidative stress and improving myocardial injury.

Background::We previously reported that activation of the cell cycle in human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) enhances their remuscularization capacity after human cardiac muscle patch transplantation in infarcted mouse hearts. Herein, we sought to identify the effect of magnesium lithospermate B (MLB) on hiPSC-CMs during myocardial repair using a myocardial infarction (MI) mouse model.Methods::In C57BL/6 mice, MI was surgically induced by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. The mice were randomly divided into five groups ( n = 10 per group); a MI group (treated with phosphate-buffered saline only), a hiPSC-CMs group, a MLB group, a hiPSC-CMs + MLB group, and a Sham operation group. Cardiac function and MLB therapeutic efficacy were evaluated by echocardiography and histochemical staining 4 weeks after surgery. To identify the associated mechanism, nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65 and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) signals, cell adhesion ability, generation of reactive oxygen species, and rates of apoptosis were detected in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and hiPSC-CMs. Results::After 4 weeks of transplantation, the number of cells that engrafted in the hiPSC-CMs + MLB group was about five times higher than those in the hiPSC-CMs group. Additionally, MLB treatment significantly reduced tohoku hospital pediatrics-1 (THP-1) cell adhesion, ICAM1 expression, NF-κB nuclear translocation, reactive oxygen species production, NF-κB p65 phosphorylation, and cell apoptosis in HUVECs cultured under hypoxia. Similarly, treatment with MLB significantly inhibited the apoptosis of hiPSC-CMs via enhancing signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) phosphorylation and B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL2) expression, promoting STAT3 nuclear translocation, and downregulating BCL2-Associated X, dual specificity phosphatase 2 (DUSP2), and cleaved-caspase-3 expression under hypoxia. Furthermore, MLB significantly suppressed the production of malondialdehyde and lactate dehydrogenase and the reduction in glutathione content induced by hypoxia in both HUVECs and hiPSC-CMs in vitro. Conclusions::MLB significantly enhanced the potential of hiPSC-CMs in repairing injured myocardium by improving endothelial cell function via the NF-κB/ICAM1 pathway and inhibiting hiPSC-CMs apoptosis via the DUSP2/STAT3 pathway.
