Heart failure is one of the major public health problems in the world. In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the relationship between heart failure and mitochondrial function. In the past 2 decades, a growing number of research papers in this field have been published. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of the published literature on the relationship between MF and HF in the past 20 years by utilizing Microsoft Excel 2019, Biblio metric analysis platform, WoSCC database, VosViewer and Citespace. The results show that the papers have increased year by year and China and the United States are the leading countries in this field, as well as the countries with the most cooperation and exchanges. University of california system is the research institution with the greatest impacts on research results, and Yip H.K. is the author with more papers. The American Journal of Physiology-heart and Circulatory Physiology is probably the most popular magazine. At present, most of the published articles on mitochondria and HF are cited from internationally influential journals. The research focus includes oxidative stress, metabolic dysfunction, mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis imbalance, mitochondrial quality control and mitochondrial dysfunction mediated by inflammation in the pathogenesis of HF. Targeted regulating of mitochondria will be the keynote of future research on prevention and treatment of HF.
The dynamic regulation of mitochondrial morphology is key for eukaryotic cells to manage physiological challenges. Therefore, it is important to understand the molecular basis of mitochondrial dynamic regulation. The aim of the present study was to explore the role of HIG1 hypoxia inducible domain family member 1B (HIGD-1B) in hypoxia-induced mitochondrial fragmentation. Protein expression was determined via western blotting. Immunofluorescence assays were performed to detect the subcellular location of HIGD-1B. Cell Counting Kit-8 assays and flow cytometry were carried out to measure cell viability and apoptosis, respectively. Protein interactions were evaluated by co-immunoprecipitation. In the present study, it was found that HIGD-1B serves a role in cell survival by maintaining the integrity of the mitochondria under hypoxic conditions. Knockdown of HIGD-1B promoted mitochondrial fragmentation, while overexpression of HIGD-1B increased survival by preventing activation of caspase-3 and -9. HIGD-1B expression was associated with cell viability and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, HIGD-1B delayed the cleavage process of optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) and stabilized mitochondrial morphology by interacting with OPA1. Collectively, the results from the present study identified a role for HIGD-1B as an inhibitor of the mitochondrial fission in cardiomyocytes.
Background Oxidative stress leads to an increase in reactive oxygen in the body. During heart failure (HF), when the body’s antioxidant defense system fails to remove excessive reactive oxygen species, myocardial cells will be damaged or even die. Over the past ten years, the number of research publications on oxidative stress related to HF has increased. Methods We searched publications published in 2012–2021 and the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) recording information. Based on the VOSviewer and CiteSpace, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of the overall distribution of journals, keywords, authors, major countries, annual output, active institutions, and cocited literature. The Global Citation Score (GCS) was used to evaluate the impact and quality of highly cited papers. Results We retrieved 5,616 articles and reviews. Over the past ten years, the number of annual publications on oxidative stress related to HF has increased. USA has published the largest number of articles and obtained the highest number of citations (NC) and H-index. The University of California and PLoS One are the most productive affiliations and journals in terms of publications on oxidative stress related to HF. The GCS of articles written by Paulus WJ in 2013 was 1,632, which was the top ranking. The most frequent keywords are “oxidative stress”, “heart failure”, “inflammation”, “dysfunction” and “apoptosis”. The top three authors are Kang Yuming, Ren Jun and Okoshi Katashi. “Impact“, “induced myocardial infarction”, “cardiovascular outcome”, “empagliflozin”, “sglt2 inhibitor”, “protect”, and “Na + /H + exchanger” have become popular research topics. Conclusions Our research shows the research focus and development trends of oxidative stress related to HF in the past decade. Understanding the most important indicators of oxidative stress related to HF and the hot spots in the field of oxidative stress research related to HF can assist scholars, countries and policy-makers in the field in better understanding oxidative stress related to HF and can also lead to better decisions in oxidative stress treatment.
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.
