Activation of Endogenous Cardiac Stem Cells by Apelin-13 in Infarcted Rat Heart

Cell Transplantation, 2016
Our previous study demonstrated that the apelin–APJ pathway contributed to myocardial regeneration and functional recovery after bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) transplantation during the differentiation of BM-MSCs into cardiomyogenic ...

Exploring the Impact of Urolithins A and B on Muscle Health: A Transcriptomic Analysis in Human Myotubes

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Urolithin A (UA) and urolithin B (UB) are gut microbiota‐derived metabolites of ellagitannins reported to influence mitochondrial function, inflammation and muscle metabolism. Their comparative transcriptomic effects in human skeletal muscle cells remain undefined.

Aging of Skeletal Muscle: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Interventions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Skeletal muscle aging is driven by coordinated local breakdown across myofibers, stem and stromal cells, immune and vascular compartments, and neuromuscular control. These mechanisms promote mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, senescence, impaired regeneration, fibrosis, myosteatosis, denervation, and functional decline.

G Protein‐Coupled Receptor in High‐Altitude Diseases: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Opportunities

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
High‐altitude hypobaric hypoxia activates multiorgan GPCR signaling networks that regulate ventilatory responses, cerebral endothelial barrier integrity, erythropoiesis and red blood cell metabolism, pulmonary vascular remodeling, and cardiac adaptation. Dysregulated GPCR pathways contribute to acute and chronic high‐altitude diseases, while clinically

Radiotherapy‐Induced Side Effects: Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, Prevention and Treatments

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Radiotherapy for malignancies frequently injures the organs’ systems through oxidative stress, fibrosis, inflammation, and vascular damage. This review systematically maps the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and emerging therapies to propose a mechanism‑network‑targeted framework for integrated, personalized care in radiation oncology.

Significance of Apelin-13 for Inflammation and Cardiac Morphology in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Turkish Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2018
OBJECTIVE: Apelin-13 is a biomarker that was shown to be related to cardiovascular disease risk in peritoneal dialysis patients. The aim of our study was to investigate the association of serum apelin-13 levels with inflammation, carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT) and echocardiographic parameters in peritoneal dialysis patients.

Zeb2 Controls Retinal Physiological and Pathological Angiogenesis by Regulating Astrocyte Proliferation and Differentiation

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 10, October 2026.
During development, the oxygen‐sensitive transcription factor Zeb2 restrains astrocyte proliferation and maturation to ensure balanced retinal angiogenesis. In disease, it promotes the neurotoxic A1 astrocyte phenotype and inflammation, thereby promoting reparative revascularization over pathological neovascularization.

Apelin-13/APJ system attenuates early brain injury via suppression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome activation and oxidative stress in a AMPK-dependent manner after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019
Background Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress play important roles in early brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This study is the first to show that activation of apelin receptor (APJ) by apelin-13 could reduce endoplasmic reticulum

Short-Term Hemodynamic Effects of Apelin in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2018
Summary: Apelin agonism causes systemic vasodilatation and increased cardiac contractility in humans, and improves pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in animal models. Here, the authors examined the short-term pulmonary hemodynamic effects of systemic

Apelin-13 Suppresses Neuroinflammation Against Cognitive Deficit in a Streptozotocin-Induced Rat Model of Alzheimer’s Disease Through Activation of BDNF-TrkB Signaling Pathway

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by impairments of cognitive function as a result of synaptic deficits and neuronal loss, is associated with inflammation.
