ObjectiveTo investigate the regulatory effect and potential mechanisms of isocitrate dehydrogenase 3A （IDH3A） on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. MethodsThe 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. ResultsIDH3A 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. ConclusionIDH3A inhibits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy via elevating AKG level， providing scientific evidence for study on IDH3A-based treatment of cardiac hypertrophy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the regulatory effect of circular RNA circ_0120051 on the fibrotic phenotype of cardiac fibroblasts and the potential mechanism involved. MethodsThe expression of circ_0120051 and its host gene of solute carrier family 8 member A1（SLC8A1） mRNA in the myocardium of healthy organ donors （n=24） and heart failure （HF） patients （n=21） were assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （RT-qPCR） assay. RNA stability of circ_0120051 was identified by RNase R exonuclease digestion assay. The cytoplasmic and nuclear distribution of circ_0120051 in human cardiomyocyte AC16 was detected by RT-qPCR assay. The expression of fibrosis-related genes in mouse cardiac fibroblasts （mCFs） with adenovirus-mediated overexpression of circ_0120051 was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot assay， respectively. The effect of overexpression of circ_0120051 on the migration activity of mCFs was evaluated by wound-healing assay. RNA co-immunoprecipitation （RIP） was conducted to detect the interaction between circ_0120051 and miR-144-3p. The binding site of miR-144-3p in the 3'-UTR of isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 （Idh2） mRNA was identified by the dual luciferase reporter gene assay. ResultsCirc_0120051 was significantly up-regulated in the myocardium of HF patients， while the mRNA expression of its host gene SLC8A1 was not changed. Circ_0120051 was mainly located in the cytoplasm of human AC16 cells. Results of RNase R exonuclease digestion revealed that circ_0120051 possesses the characteristic stability of circular RNA compared to the linear SLC8A1 mRNA. Overexpression of circ_0120051 could inhibit the expression of fibrosis-related gene in mCFs and mCFs migration. RIP assay confirmed the specific interaction between circ_0120051 and miR-144-3p. Transfection of miR-144-3p mimic could efficiently promote the expression of fibrosis-related genes in mCFs and reverse the inhibitory effect of circ_0120051 on the fibrotic phenotype of mCFs. Results of the dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed the interaction between miR-144-3p and the 3'-UTR of Idh2. Transfection of miR-144-3p transcriptionally inhibited Idh2 expression， and overexpression of circ_0120051 enhanced IDH2 expression in mCFs. MiR-144-3p mimic and Idh2 small interfering RNA （siRNA） could consistently reverse the inhibitory effects of circ_0120051 on fibrosis-related genes expression in mCFs and mCFs migration. ConclusionsCirc_0120051 inhibits the fibrotic phenotype of cardiac fibroblasts via sponging miR-144-3p to enhance the target gene of IDH2 expression.

Objective To overcome the limitations of existing human respiratory syncytial virus(hRSV)animal models,such as semi-permissiveness and short duration of infection,this study established an IL2rg gene knockout(IL2rg-/-)rat model using TALEN gene editing technology.Methods The animal model was infected with hRSV intranasally.Clinical characteristics,body weight,and temperature changes were observed over the infection period(0～35 days).The total viral loads in respiratory organs,such as the nasal tissue,trachea,and lungs,were measured at various time points(4,11,20,and 35 days post-infection).Pathological analysis was conducted on target organs at the endpoint of observation(35 days post-infection).Changes in peripheral blood T,B,NK,and NKT cells and various cytokines were assessed at various time points(4,20,and 35 days post-infection).Results(1)IL2rg/-knockout rats sustained high viral loads in the nasal cavity upon intranasal inoculation with hRSV.The average peak titer rapidly reached 1 × 1010 copies/g in nasal tissue and 1 × 107 copies/g up to 5 weeks post-infection.(2)However,no significant pathological changes were noted in nasal,tracheal,or lung tissues.(3)An increase was observed in the content of peripheral blood B cells in hRSV-infected IL2rg--rats.(4)IL-6 and MCP-1 were increased in the early stage of infection and then decreased at the end of the observation period.Conclusions This study established a new IL2rg-/-rat model using TALEN technology and found that this model effectively supported high-level replication and long-term infection of hRSV,providing a good basis for antiviral drug screening and in vivo efficacy evaluation of anti-hRSV antibodies.

Objective:To investigate the high risk factors,diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography and pregnan-cy outcomes of umbilical cord wrapped around the neck for≥4 loops.Methods:The clinical data of 64 pregnant women with umbilical cord around the neck for≥4 loops(the group with umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops)in Tongji Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2011 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.At the same time,80 cases with umbilical cord around the neck for 1-2 loops(the group with umbilical cord around the neck 1-2 loops)were randomly selected as the controls.General information,clinical manifestations,ultrasound diagnosis and other data of the two groups were collected.The risk factors of umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops and diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography were ana-lyzed with univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis,and the pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups.Results:①The incidence of pregnancy,abortion,delivery and history of cesarean sec-tion were lower in the group with umbilical cord around the neck ≥4 loops than those in the group with umbilical cord around the neck 1-2 loops.The incidence of consciously abnormal fetal movement,abnormal umbilical ar-tery systolic/diastolic(S/D)ratio,abnormal fetal heart rate monitoring(NST)and fetal distress were higher in the group with umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops than those in the group with umbilical cord around the neck 1-2 loops,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).②Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that polyhydramnios and excessively long cord were independent risk factors for umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops(OR＞1,P＜0.05).③When the time between ultrasound diagnosis and the operation was 2 days,the consistency rate between ultrasound diagnosis of umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops and intrao-perative diagnosis was the highest,and the difference was statistically significant with＞3 days(46.2％vs.6.30％,P＜0.05).Compared with umbilical cord around the neck 3 loops,ultrasound diagnosis of umbilical cord loops around the neck at 4 or 5 loops had a higher consistency rate with intraoperative diagnosis,and the differ-ence was statistically significant(P＜0.05).④The incidence of premature delivery,neonatal asphyxia and admis-sion to neonatology in the group with umbilical cord around the neck ≥4 loops were higher than those in the group with umbilical cord around the neck 1-2 loops,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);and the gestational week and birth weight of newborns were significantly lower(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Polyhydramnios and excessively long cord are high risk factors for umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops.The closer the ultra-sound diagnosis is to the time before cesarean section and the more times the umbilical cord is around the neck in ultrasonic diagnosis,the higher the diagnostic accuracy.Fetal outcomes with umbilical cord around the neck≥4 loops are worse.
