TL;DR

SKN attenuates DOX-induced myocardial injury, senescence, and fibrosis and is associated with improved redox and mitochondrial homeostasis and suppression of p53/p21-associated senescence signaling, with DRP1-related mitochondrial dysregulation contributing to the protective effects of SKN.

Celastrol Attenuates Doxorubicin-Induced Heart Failure by Preserving Mitochondrial Integrity and Suppressing Oxidative Stress and Is Accompanied by Changes in Gut Microbiota

Background/Objectives: Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent whose clinical use is limited by dose-dependent cardiotoxicity that may progress to irreversible heart failure. Celastrol (Cel), a bioactive triterpenoid from Tripterygium wilfordii, has recognized anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activiti...

Targeting mitochondrial morphofunctional homeostasis and oxidative stress: Iristectorigenin A protects against cardiac remodeling via SIRT6/FOXO1 signaling.

It is discovered that ITG inhibits oxidative stress and safeguards mitochondrial morphofunctional homeostasis in response to pathological stress through activating SIRT6/FOXO1 axis, suggesting the therapeutic potential of ITG in the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling.

Bisdemethoxycurcumin Alleviates Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury by AMPK-mediated Autophagy Activation and Apoptosis Suppression.

Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury impairs the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular disease. Reperfusion induces cardiomyocyte apoptosis and dysregulates autophagy, thereby disrupting cellular homeostasis and exacerbating myocardial injury. Bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), a major active component of Curcuma...

Ambrisentan rescues doxorubicin-induced cardiac apoptosis and mitochondrial bioenergetic dysfunction: Mechanistic insights into p53 and mTOR signaling.

Apoptosis and mitochondrial bioenergetic dysfunction are hallmarks of cardiotoxicity that drive cardiac damage, particularly following exposure to chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin. Doxorubicin induces pro-apoptotic signaling and disrupts mitochondrial homeostasis and cellular energy metabolism, leading to ca...

Huperzine A Attenuates Oxidative Stress-Induced H9c2 Cardiomyoblast Injury Through AKT-Associated Survival Signaling

Oxidative stress is a major contributor to cardiomyoblast injury and cardiovascular disease progression. Huperzine A (HupA), a natural Lycopodium alkaloid, exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but its cardioprotective mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of HupA on ox...
