Previously we demonstrated that a swimming routine is effective to convert pathological into physiological cardiac hypertrophy, and that IGF-1 improves contractility and the redox state, in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Now, we hypothesize that the apelinergic pathway is involved in the cardioprotective effects of IGF-1 in the SHR. We assessed the redox state and mitochondrial effects of IGF-1 or apelin in the presence/absence of AG1024 or ML221 [pharmacological antagonists of IGF1 (IGF1R) and apelin (APJ) receptors, respectively] in SHR isolated cardiomyocytes or perfused hearts. Acute IGF-1 (10 nmol/L) significantly: -reduced H₂O₂ production (IGF-1:62 ± 6; control:100 ± 8.1, %), -increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (IGF-1:193 ± 17, control: 100 ± 13,%), -prevented H₂O₂-induced ΔΨm loss (TMRE_{F10min/F0 min}: IGF-1:0.93 ± 0.017, control: 0.72 ± 0.029), -reduced mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening estimated by the calcium retention capacity (nmol/mg protein, IGF-1:251 ± 34, control:112 ± 5), and -increased P-AMPK (IGF-1:129 ± 0.9, control: 100 ± 2%) and P-AKT (IGF-1:143 ± 17 control:100 ± 6, %). These effects were suppressed not only by the antagonism of IGF1R but also of APJ. Moreover, IGF-1 significantly increased APJ (IGF-1:198 ± 29 control:100 ± 15,%) and apelin mRNAs (IGF-1:251 ± 48, control:100 ± 6,%).

This study explored the role played by UBE2N in development of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance in HCC cells. Three HCC cell lines (HepG2 [p53 wild type], Huh7 [p53 point mutant type], Hep3B [p53 non-expression type]), and one normal liver cell line (MIHA) were used in our present study. The IC50 value of 5-FU was determined using a cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Cell viability was assessed by colony formation assays. TUNEL assays and flow cytometry were used to analyze cell apoptosis. RNA pull-down and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays were performed to confirm the binding relationship between UBE2N mRNA and TAF15 protein. Our results showed that TAF15 and UBE2N were highly expressed in HCC cells. UBE2N inhibited the translocation of p53 protein into the cell nucleus to increase 5-FU resistance, as reflected by an increased IC50 value, an increase in cell viability, and a reduction in cell apoptosis. Overexpression of p53 reduced 5-FU resistance, but that effect could be reversed by UBE2N overexpression. TAF15 protein bound to and stabilized UBE2N mRNA, thereby inhibiting p53 translocation into the nucleus and promoting 5-FU resistance in HCC cells.

After successful modeling, the diabetic rats were randomly assigned to two groups according to whether they were subjected to RDN or sham RDN surgery. At the end of the experiment, cardiac function and structure were evaluated by echocardiography and histology, respectively. Mitochondrial morphology, function and mitochondrial dynamics were assessed by multiple methods. Mdivi1 was used to verify the mechanism by which RDN improves atrial remodeling. In the 10th week, diabetic rats exhibited obvious atrial remodeling, including atrial enlargement and diastolic dysfunction. Pathological staining showed that diabetic rats had cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis in atrial tissues. In terms of mitochondrial morphology and function, diabetic rats exhibited fragmented mitochondria, reduced adenosine triphosphate production and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential levels. Abnormal mitochondrial dynamics in diabetic rats were characterized by the inhibition of mitochondrial fusion, excessive mitochondrial fission, and the suppression of mitophagy. However, RDN effectively ameliorated diabetes-induced pathological atrial remodeling. In addition, RDN significantly improved mitochondrial morphological and functional abnormalities and corrected the disorders of mitochondrial dynamics. Furthermore, the protective effects of RDN against atrial remodeling were related to the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics. RDN prevented diabetes-induced atrial remodeling.

Five-week-old male Wistar rats (n = 24) were randomly assigned to the following four groups: (1) sedentary under normoxia (20.9% O₂) (NS), (2) training under normoxia (NT), (3) sedentary under normobaric hypoxia (14.5% O₂) (HS), and (4) training under normobaric hypoxia (HT).

Forty-eight hours after completing the final training session, gastrocnemius muscles were surgically removed, and mitochondrial enzyme activity and mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics regulatory protein levels were determined. Citrate synthase (CS) activity and mitochondrial oxygen phosphorylation (OXPHOS) subunits in the gastrocnemius muscle in the HT significantly exceeded those in the other three groups. Moreover, the levels of a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), and a mitochondrial fusion-related protein, optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), were significantly increased by HIIT under normobaric hypoxia.

We aimed to identify hypermethylated CpGs in HCC, assess their specificity across other tumor types, and investigate their impact on gene expression. To this end, public methylomes from HCC, other liver diseases, and 27 tumor types as well as expression data from TCGA-LIHC and GTEx were analyzed. This study identified 39 CpG sites that were hypermethylated in HCC compared to control liver tissue, and were located within promoter, gene bodies, and intergenic CpG islands. Notably, these CpGs were predominantly unmethylated in healthy liver tissue and other normal tissues. Comparative analysis with 27 other tumors revealed both common and HCC-specific hypermethylated CpGs. Interestingly, the HCC-hypermethylated genes showed minimal expression in the different healthy tissues, with marginal changes in the level of expression in the corresponding tumors. These findings confirm previous evidence on the limited influence of DNA hypermethylation on gene expression regulation in cancer. It also highlights the existence of mechanisms that allow the selection of tissue-specific methylation marks in normally unexpressed genes during carcinogenesis.

Hepatocytes (immortal cells PH5CH8, hepatoma cells HepG2) treated with higher doses of palmitic acid (400-600μM) showed typical features of steatosis accompanied with growth inhibition and increased level of inflammatory markers (IL-6 IL-8, IL-1α and IL-1β) together with decline in NAD+ levels.

Additionally, the circadian expression of both SIRT2 and BMAL1 was inhibited in presence of palmitic acid in only the non-cancerous hepatocytes, PH5CH8 cells. Clinical specimens obtained from subjects with NASH-associated fibrosis, ranging from absent (F0) to cirrhosis (F4), showed a significant decline in levels of SIRT2 and BMAL1, especially in the cirrhotic liver. Ectopic expression of BMAL1 or activating SIRT2 by supplementation with nicotinamide riboside (precursor of NAD+) dampened the palmitic acid induced lipoinflammation and lipotoxicity more effectively in PH5CH8 cells as compared to HepG2 cells.
