Fucoidan inhibits apoptosis and improves cardiac remodeling by inhibiting p53 transcriptional activation through USP22/Sirt 1.

ABSTRACT: Background: Humans with hypertensive heart disease are more likely to experience heart failure, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, and sudden death, and it is crucial to treat this condition. Fucoidan (FO) is a natural substance derived from marine algae that has antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities. FO has also been shown to regulate apoptosis. However, whether FO can protect against cardiac hypertrophy is unknown. Methods: We investigated the effect of FO in hypertrophic models in vivo and in vitro. C57BL/6 mice were given an oral gavage of FO (300 mg/kg/day) or PBS (internal control) the day before surgery, followed by a 14-day infusion of Ang II or saline. AC-16 cells were treated with si-USP22 for 4 h and then treated with Ang II (100 nM) for 24 h. S
