Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major issue in cardiovascular medicine, marked by tissue damage from the restoration of blood flow after ischemia. Opioids, known for their pain-relieving properties, have emerged as potential cardioprotective agents in IRI. Recent research suggests opioids influence epigenetic mechanisms-such as histone modifications and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)-which are essential for regulating gene expression and cellular responses during myocardial IRI. This review delves into how opioids like remifentanil affect histone modifications, DNA methylation, and ncRNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). Remifentanil postconditioning (RPC) reduces apoptosis in cardiomyocytes through histone deacetylation, specifically downregulating histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3). Similarly, opioids impact miRNAs such as miR- 206 - 3p and miR- 320 - 3p, and lncRNAs like TINCR and UCA1, which influence apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Understanding these interactions highlights the potential for opioid-based therapies in mitigating IRI-induced myocardial damage.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research (JCTR) is a premier journal in cardiovascular translational research.
JCTR is the journal of choice for authors seeking the broadest audience for emerging technologies, therapies and diagnostics, pre-clinical research, and first-in-man clinical trials.
JCTR''s intent is to provide a forum for critical evaluation of the novel cardiovascular science, to showcase important and clinically relevant aspects of the new research, as well as to discuss the impediments that may need to be overcome during the translation to patient care.
