    Abstract Macroautophagy/autophagy is a conserved catabolic recycling pathway in which cytoplasmic components are sequestered, degraded, and recycled to survive various stress conditions. Autophagy dysregulation has been observed and linked with the development and progression of several pathologies, including cardiovascular diseases, the leading cause of death in the developed world. In this review, we aim to provide a broad understanding of the different molecular factors that govern autophagy regulation and how these mechanisms are involved in the development of specific cardiovascular pathologies, including ischemic and reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac remodelling, and heart failure.

    Abstract With the growing prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), there is an urgent need to explore non-conventional therapeutic measures to alleviate the burden of CVD on global healthcare. Mitochondrial injury plays a cardinal role in the pathogenesis of CVD. Mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy are essential machineries that govern mitochondrial health in cardiomyocytes in physiological and pathophysiological settings. However, with the onset and progression of CVD, homeostasis of mitophagy is disturbed through largely unknown pathological mechanisms, causing mitochondrial damage and ultimately cardiomyocyte death. In this review we decipher the dual regulatory role of mitophagy in CVD pathogenesis, summarize controversies in mitophagy, and highlight recently identified compounds capable of modulating mitophagy. We share our perspectives on future mitophagy research directions in the context of CVD.

    Abstract The use of cardioprotective strategies as adjuvants of cardioplegic solutions has become an ideal alternative for the improvement of post-surgery heart recovery. The choice of the optimal cardioplegia, as well as its distribution mechanism, remains controversial in the field of cardiovascular surgery. There is still a need to search for new and better cardioprotective methods during cardioplegic procedures. New techniques for the management of cardiovascular complications during cardioplegia have evolved with new alternatives and additives, and each new strategy provides a tool to neutralize the damage after ischemia/reperfusion events. Researchers and clinicians have committed themselves to studying the effect of new strategies and adjuvant components with the potential to improve the cardioprotective effect of cardioplegic solutions in preventing myocardial ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury during cardiac surgery. The aim of this review is to explore the different types of cardioplegia, their protection mechanisms, and which strategies have been proposed to enhance the function of these solutions in hearts exposed to cardiovascular pathologies that require surgical alternatives for their corrective progression.

    Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Epidemiological studies indicate that pre-menopausal women are more protected against the development of CVDs compared to men of the same age. This effect is attributed to the action/effects of sex steroid hormones on the cardiovascular system. In this context, estrogen modulates cardiovascular function in physiological and pathological conditions, being one of the main physiological cardioprotective agents. Here we describe the common pathways and mechanisms by which estrogens modulate the retrograde and anterograde communication between the nucleus and mitochondria, highlighting the role of genomic and non-genomic pathways mediated by estrogen receptors. Additionally, we discuss the presumable role of bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) in enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and function in different CVD models and how this protein could act as a master regulator of estrogen protective activity. Altogether, this review focuses on estrogenic control in gene expression and molecular pathways, how this activity governs nucleus-mitochondria communication, and its projection for a future generation of strategies in CVDs treatment.

    Abstract Hypertension is associated with high circulating angiotensin II (Ang II). We have reported that autophagy regulates Ang II-induced vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) hypertrophy, but the mechanism mediating this effect is still unknown. Therefore, we studied how Ang II regulates LC3 levels in VSMCs and whether Bag3, a co-chaperone known to regulate LC3 total levels, may be involved in the effects elicited by Ang II. A7r5 cell line or rat aortic smooth muscle cell (RASMC) primary culture were stimulated with Ang II 100 nM for 24 h and LC3 I, LC3 II and Bag3 protein levels were determined by Western blot. MAP1LC3B mRNA levels were assessed by RT-qPCR. Ang II increased MAP1LC3B mRNA levels and protein levels of LC3 I, LC3 II and total LC3 (LC3 I + LC3 II). Cycloheximide, but not actinomycin D, abolished LC3 II and total LC3 increase elicited by Ang II in RASMCs. In A7r5 cells, cycloheximide prevented the Ang II-mediated increase of LC3 I and total LC3, but not LC3 II. Moreover, Ang II increased Bag3 levels, but this increase was not observed upon co-administration with either losartan 1 μM (AT1R antagonist) or Y-27632 10 μM (ROCK inhibitor). These results suggest that Ang II may regulate total LC3 content through transcriptional and translational mechanisms. Moreover, Bag3 is increased in response to Ang II by a AT1R/ROCK signalling pathway. These data provide preliminary evidence suggesting that Ang II may stimulate autophagy in VSMCs by increasing total LC3 content and LC3 processing.

    Abstract Angiotensin-(1-9) [Ang-(1-9)] is a peptide of the non-canonical renin-angiotensin system (RAS) synthesized from angiotensin I by the monopeptidase angiotensin-converting enzyme type 2 (ACE2). Using osmotic minipumps, infusion of Ang-(1-9) consistently reduces blood pressure in several rat hypertension models. In these animals, hypertension-induced end-organ damage is also decreased. Several pieces of evidence suggest that Ang-(1-9) is the endogenous ligand that binds and activates the type-2 angiotensin II receptor (AT2R). Activation of AT2R triggers different tissue-specific signaling pathways. This phenomenon could be explained by the ability of AT2R to form different heterodimers with other G protein-coupled receptors. Because of the antihypertensive and protective effects of AT2R activation by Ang-(1-9), associated with a short half-life of RAS peptides, several synthetic AT2R agonists have been synthesized and assayed. Some of them, particularly CGP42112, C21 and novokinin, have demonstrated antihypertensive properties. Only two synthetic AT2R agonists, C21 and LP2-3, have been tested in clinical trials, but none of them like an antihypertensive. Therefore, Ang-(1-9) is a promising antihypertensive drug that reduces hypertension-induced end-organ damage. However, further research is required to translate this finding successfully to the clinic.

    Abstract Lipid droplets (LD) are not just lipid stores. They are now recognized as highly dynamic organelles, having a life cycle that includes biogenesis, growth, steady-state, transport, and catabolism. Importantly, LD exhibit different features in terms of size, number, lipid composition, proteins, and interaction with other organelles, and all these features exert an impact on cellular homeostasis. The imbalance of LD function causes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Studies show that exercise attenuates NAFLD by decreasing LD content; however, reports show metabolic benefits without changes in LD amount (intrahepatic triglyceride levels) in NAFLD. Due to the multiple effects of exercise in LD features, we think that these metabolic benefits occur through changes in LD features in NAFLD, rather than only the reduction in content. Exercise increases energy mobilization and utilization from storages such as LD, and is one of the non-pharmacological treatments against NAFLD. Therefore, exercise modification of LD could be a target for NAFLD treatment. Here, we review the most up-to-date literature on this topic, and focus on recent findings showing that LD features could play an important role in the severity of NAFLD.
