Microvascular dysfunction, inflammation and fibrosis may play crucial roles in TTS pathophysiology. Here we investigated the effect of methotrexate (MTX), an antiproliferative and immunosuppressive drug, on ventricular function in a rat model of Takotsubo syndrome. TTS induction was performed in Wistar male rats with 2 subcutaneous injections of isoproterenol (ISO, 85mg/Kg), with a 24-hour interval. Twenty-seven animals were allocated to 3 groups: Sham: controls treated with saline solution; ISO: TTS-induced with ISO, treated with saline solution; MTX: TTS-induced with ISO, treated with MTX (1mg/Kg i.p.). Animals were treated once a week, for 4 weeks. After treatments, animals underwent an echocardiographic exam. Histology and protein expression of markers of apoptosis, angiogenesis, and fibrosis were performed. Linear correlation was used to test echocardiographic variables versus protein expression. MTX treatment improved LV the systolic and diastolic functions in TTS rats, shown by higher ejection fraction (66% vs. 44%, p<0.05) and normalized E/A ratio (1.6±0.3 vs. 3.4±0.7, p<0.05). MTX reduced myocardial fibrosis in subendocardium and interstitium and decreased expression of pro-apoptotic markers (caspase 3 and BAX/Bcl-2 ratio). Additionally, MTX-treated rats exhibited reduced hypoxia, as indicated by lower HIF-2α expression, and increased angiogenesis, evidenced by elevated VEGF. In conclusion, MTX treatment enhances cardiac function and decreases adverse remodeling in this TTS rat model, conceivably through anti-fibrotic and pro-angiogenic mechanisms. These findings suggest that MTX may be a promising therapeutic option for TTS, warranting further investigation.","PeriodicalId":15212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144325878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Klotho, a protein with antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, has garnered as a potential cardioprotective factor. This study aimed to investigate whether cardiac-specific overexpression of klotho mitigates paraquat-induced myocardial injury through the activation of the NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf-2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling pathway. Our results revealed that both mRNA and protein expressions of Klotho were significantly reduced in the myocardial tissue of paraquat-exposed rats. However, cardiac-specific overexpression of Klotho significantly restored Klotho levels and attenuated paraquat-induced myocardial injury, as evidenced by the decreased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) contents, and creatine kinase (CK) activity, alongside with apoptosis. Furthermore, cardiac-specific overexpression of Klotho inhibited oxidative stress and inflammation in myocardial tissue of paraquat-subjected rats. Mechanistically, Klotho activated of the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway, upregulating cytoprotective genes such as NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), glutamate cysteine ligase catalytic (GCLC) subunit, and glutamate cysteine ligase modifier (GCLM) subunit. Our findings indicate that Klotho protects against paraquat-induced myocardial injury by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation, primarily via the activation of the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway. These results underscore the potential therapeutic role of Klotho in preventing paraquat-induced myocardial damage.","PeriodicalId":15212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144302123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TRPC6 Inhibitors are currently investigated for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19, and pulmonary hypertension. In the cardiovascular system, there is evidence that TRPC6 is critically involved in the development of cardiac hypertrophy, arrhythmia susceptibility and risk of restenosis after coronary stent implantation. However, data on systemic effects of TRPC6 modulation remain scarce. To assess the phenotypic consequences of inhibiting TRPC6 in different organ systems, we explored public databases to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with TRPC6 expression in different tissues. A phenome-wide association study was then performed in 475,739 individuals of UK Biobank to associate genetically-mediated reduced TRPC6 expression with 64 phenotypes in nine organ/disease categories. Lower TRPC6 expression was nominally associated with reduced risk of anxiety, heart failure, and stroke, as well as an increased risk of venous thromboembolism, hypertension, appendicitis and liver cirrhosis. After correction for multiple testing, lower TRPC6 expression remained significantly associated with reduced risk of coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation. Notably, no deleterious phenotypes were observed, suggesting a favorable profile of systemic TRPC6 inhibition. While these findings indicate potential therapeutic benefits, nominally associated phenotypes, however, mandate careful clinical investigation and provide a basis for further experimental exploration.","PeriodicalId":15212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144266328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dissociation of tetrameric transthyretin (TTR) is the triggering event in the pathogenic mechanism; destabilizing TTR mutations accelerate the process. The TTR stabilizers, tafamidis and acoramidis, are the only FDA approved treatments for patients with ATTR-CM. By mimicking the stabilizing characteristics of the super-stabilizing, disease-protecting variant T119M, we hypothesize that acoramidis displays differential TTR binding, kinetic stability, and tetramer stabilization compared with other TTR stabilizers, such as tafamidis and diflunisal. The TTR binding affinity and thermodynamic stability of TTR interaction of acoramidis and tafamidis were assessed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and microscale thermophoresis (MST). Tetrameric TTR stabilization by acoramidis, tafamidis, and diflunisal in the presence of plasma proteins against acidic denaturation was measured by immune blots. In kinetic studies, SPR demonstrated 4 times longer residence time for acoramidis bound to TTR compared with tafamidis. The dissociation constants were consistent with those determined by equilibrium measurements in MST. The affinity of acoramidis for purified TTR, as measured by MST, was 4 times higher than that of tafamidis. When tested at clinically relevant plasma concentrations, acoramidis stabilized TTR against acidic denaturation to a much higher extent (≥90%) than tafamidis or diflunisal. Of note, both tafamidis and diflunisal demonstrated partial stabilization of tetrameric TTR. Relative to other stabilizers, acoramidis is more potent as independently assessed by TTR binding affinity, kinetic stability, and acid-mediated denaturation. These properties may contribute to the ability of acoramidis to achieve near-complete stabilization of TTR in plasma samples.","PeriodicalId":15212,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144234240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
