Cardiac ischemic conditioning has been shown to decrease ischemic injury in experimental models and clinically. Activation of survival pathways leading to heat shock proteins (HSP) modulation is an important contributor to this effect. We have previously shown that celastrol, an HSP90 Protein homeostatic regulators have been shown to ameliorate single, loss-of-function protein diseases but not to treat broader animal disease models that may involve cell death. Diseases often trigger protein homeostatic instability that disrupts the delicate balance of normal cellular viability.
OBJECTIVE
Celastrol, a triterpene from plants, has been used in traditional oriental medicine to treat various diseases. Here, we investigated the cardioprotective effects of celastrol against ischaemia.
METHODS
Protective pathways induced by celastrol were investigated in hypoxic cultures of H9c2
Celastrol pretreatment has been shown to protect against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, but the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the cardioprotective effects of celastrol pretreatment on I/R injury and to further explore whether its mechanism
Oxidative stress and inflammatory damage play an important role in cerebral ischemic pathogenesis and may represent a target for treatment. Celastrol has been proved to elicit a vanity of biological effects through its anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory properties in the treatment of Alzheimer's
BACKGROUND
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of dysregulated cardiometabolic risk factors characterized by dyslipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, inflammation, obesity as well as hypertension. These factors are tied to the increased risk for type-II diabetes and
