The aim of the present study was to elucidate the action of Cal-C in addition to PKC inhibition. First, we confirmed that Cal-C at low concentrations (&lt;200 nM) inhibit phorbol ester-induced PKC translocation and G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR)-mediated PKC activation. Cal-C at higher concentrations (&gt;2 μM) increased intracellular calcium ion concentrations ([Ca<sup>2+</sup>]<sub>i</sub>) in a concentration-dependent manner. The origin of this increase is the mobilization of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which does not involve GPCR or ryanodine receptors. Cal-C at high concentrations also cause structural changes in the ER, such as the formation of vacuoles and aggregates, and calcium leakage from the ER. At 2 μM, Cal-C translocated a calcium-sensitive PKCα. Studies using a C-kinase activity reporter and a myristoylated alanine-rich protein kinase C substrate fused with green fluorescent protein (GFP) have also revealed that Cal-C at high concentrations activate PKC in living cells. Additionally, the PKC-activating effects of Cal-C were light-dependent. Finally, studies using Si-DMA, an indicator of singlet oxygen, showed that Cal-C at high concentrations generated singlet oxygen, causing structural changes in the ER and leakage of calcium into the cytosol, which triggered PKC activation. This study confirms the novel action of Cal-C, solely considered a PKC inhibitor.

This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms through which Phl inhibited myocardial fibrosis and exerted its antioxidative effects. The impact of Phl on DCM was evaluated using a high-fat/high-sugar diet combined with streptozotocin to induce an animal model and an in vitro H9C2 cell model stimulated by high glucose (HG). Untargeted metabolomics identified potential mechanisms underlying myocardial fibrosis. Phl treatment significantly enhanced left ventricular ejection fraction (EF%) and shortening fraction (FS%), while reducing myocardial injury markers, such as lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase-MB, and suppressing myocardial collagen fiber accumulation. Simultaneously, Phl attenuated myocardial inflammation via inhibition of MyD88/NF-κB signaling, modulated the Nrf2/GPX4 axis to counter oxidative stress, and mitigated ferroptosis. In vitro, Phl inhibited high glucose-induced myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis in H9C2 cells, while also repressing NF-κB activation in cardiomyocytes. Metabolomic profiling revealed that Phl ameliorated DCM through modulation of glycerophospholipid metabolic pathways, linking these metabolic shifts to enhanced antioxidant capacity, thereby reflecting its ability to reduce oxidative stress in the myocardium.
