Journal ArticleDOI
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition improves myocardial function and prevents cardiac remodeling in diabetic mice
Youfang Chen,Jianfeng Du,Yu Tina Zhao,Ling Zhang,Guorong Lv,Shougang Zhuang,Gangjian Qin,Ting C. Zhao +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cardiac function was depressed in diabetic mice, but HDAC inhibition resulted in a significant functional improvement in STZ-injected mice, and myocardial superoxide dismutase, an important antioxidant, was elevated followingHDAC inhibition in the diabetic mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Irisin plays a pivotal role to protect the heart against ischemia and reperfusion injury
Hao Wang,Yu Tina Zhao,Shouyan Zhang,Patrycja M. Dubielecka,Jianfeng Du,Naohiro Yano,Y. Eugene Chin,Shougang Zhuang,Gangjian Qin,Ting C. Zhao +9 more
TL;DR: Irisin serves as a novel approach to eliciting cardioprotection, which is associated with the improvement of mitochondrial function and significantly attenuated hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R), as indicated by the reduction of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage and apoptotic cardiomyocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sodium Butyrate Protects -Against High Fat Diet-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction and Metabolic Disorders in Type II Diabetic Mice.
Ling Zhang,Ling Zhang,Jianfeng Du,Naohiro Yano,Hao Wang,Yu Tina Zhao,Patrycja M. Dubielecka,Shougang Zhuang,Y. Eugene Chin,Gangjian Qin,Ting C. Zhao +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that HDAC inhibition plays a critical role to preserve cardiac performance and mitigate metabolic disorders in obesity and diabetes, which is associated with MKK3/p38/PRAK pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor through exendin-4 preserves myocardial performance and prevents cardiac remodeling in infarcted myocardium.
Megan DeNicola,Jianfeng Du,Zhengke Wang,Naohiro Yano,Ling Zhang,Yigang Wang,Gangjian Qin,Shougang Zhuang,Ting C. Zhao +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrated that GLP-1R with exendin-4 improved myocardial functional recovery in acute myocardious ischemic injury. But, they did not investigate whether GLP1R can improve the functional recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific inhibition of HDAC4 in cardiac progenitor cells enhances myocardial repairs.
Ling X. Zhang,Megan DeNicola,Xin Qin,Jianfeng Du,Julio Ma,Yu Tina Zhao,Shougang Zhuang,Paul Y. Liu,Lei Wei,Gangjian Qin,Yao Liang Tang,Ting C. Zhao +11 more
TL;DR: Mouse myocardial infarction was created to assess the effect of HDAC4 inhibition in c-kit(+) CSCs on myocardIAL regeneration in vivo when cells were introduced into MI hearts, and results indicate that HDAC 4 inhibition promotes CSC-derived cardiac regeneration and improves the restoration of cardiac function.
