Hsp60 is an important component of defense mechanisms against diabetic myocardial injury; however, the cause of Hsp60 reduction in the diabetic myocardium remains unknown. After stimulation of cardiomyocytes with high glucose in vivo and in vitro, significant up-regulation of miR-1/miR-206 and post-transcriptional modulation of Hsp 60 were observed. Serum response factor (SRF) and the MEK1/2 pathway were involved in miR-1 and miR-206 expression in cardiomyocytes. miR-1 and miR-206 regulated Hsp60 expression post-transcriptionally and accelerated cardiomyocyte apoptosis through Hsp60. These results revealed that miR-1 and miR-206 regulate Hsp60 expression, contributing to high glucose-mediated apoptosis in cardiomyocytes.
The present study indicated that VKORC1, CYP4F2, and CYP2C9 genotypes and interacting drugs had a significant impact on the warfarin maintenance dose in Chinese patients with heart valve replacement and demonstrated that integrating interacting drugs can largely improve the predictability of the dose algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
