Muscone attenuates myocardial infarction by regulating ferroptosis of cardiomyocytes through Nrf2/system Xc-/GPX4 signaling pathway
Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is among the diseases with the highest incidences and seriously threatens public health worldwide, with the present clinical treatment methods presenting considerable risks. Ferroptosis, characterized by iron dependence and intracellular oxidative accumulation, is a type of programmed cell death that has opened new avenues for treating MI. Muscone is one of the major active monomers of musk, which can improve ventricular remodeling after MI and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. However, the ferroptosis mechanism underlying muscone-mediated MI treatment remains unelucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the mechanisms of action of muscone in MI management both in vivo and in vitro. Notably, muscone could attenuate MI injury, increase myocardial angiogenesis, and inhibit myocardial ferroptosis in the in vivo rat model. Furthermore, in vitro experiment results in rat cardiomyocytes H9c2 cells showed that muscone could inhibit hypoxia-induced cell damage, improve cell viability, and inhibit cell apoptosis and ferroptosis. Mechanistically, muscone-mediated ferroptosis inhibition was regulated by the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/System Xc−/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) signaling pathway to treat MI. Altogether, the results of this study show the therapeutic potential of muscone in MI treatment. These findings provide notable insights regarding the development of therapeutic approaches targeted at the Nrf2/System Xc- /GPX4 signaling pathway.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
