Gerald is still tending. It's winter. Here's another new research article on MANF in ischemia/reperfusion:

Abstract
Background: Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is a common pathological process in clinical practice. Developing effective therapeutic strategies to reduce or prevent this injury is crucial. The article aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) and its key subdomains in modulating myocardial I/R-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
Methods: MANF stable knockout cell line and MANF mutant overexpression plasmids were constructed. The effects of MANF and mutants on apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress related proteins were evaluated in hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced HL-1 cardiomyocytes by western blot, immunofluorescence, Tunel and flow cytometry. Echocardiography, ELISA, TTC and Masson were used to observe the effects of recombinant MANF protein (rMANF) on cardiac function in myocardial I/R mice.
Results: This study observed increased expression of MANF in both myocardial infarction patients and I/R mice. MANF overexpression in cardiomyocytes decreased ER stress-induced apoptosis, while MANF knockout exacerbated it. rMANF improved cardiac function in I/R mice by reducing injury and inflammation. This study specifically demonstrates that mutations in the α-helix of MANF were more effective in reducing ER stress and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Mechanistically, MANF and the α-helix mutant attenuated I/R injury by inhibiting the JAK1/STAT1/NF-κB signaling pathway in addition to reducing ER stress-induced apoptosis.
Conclusion: These findings highlight MANF and its subdomains as critical regulators of myocardial I/R injury, offering promising therapeutic targets with significant clinical implications for I/R-related diseases
