Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in the development of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI). In this study, we aimed to explore the regulatory effect and mechanism of lncRNA SOX2-OT in MIRI. ⋯ Silencing of SOX2-OT relieved the apoptosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress of myocardial cells via up-regulating miR-146a-5p, contributing to the remission of MIRI (Fig. 28, Ref. 33).

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of Protocatechuic Acid (PCA), which is an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic agent, on ovarian tissue and ovarian reserve against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in a rat ovarian torsion model. ⋯ Protocatechuic acid may be an effective antioxidant in protecting ovarian tissue and follicle reserve against IR injury of the ovary (Tab. 1, Fig. 4, Ref. 36).

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a dominant factor contributing to diabetic death. Rutaecarpine has many cardiovascular biological effects and anti-high-glucose activity. Therefore, this paper aimed to investigate the impact of rutaecarpine on high glucose (HG)-elicited cardiomyocyte injury. ⋯ In conclusion, rutaecarpine suppressed HG-stimulated H9c2 cell viability injury, apoptosis as well as oxidative stress via promoting TRPV1-mediated autophagy (Fig. 10, Ref. 40).
