Key result

Cardiovascular diseases arise through the complex interaction of metabolic dysfunction, inflammatory signaling, altered cellular plasticity, and dysregulated gene expression.

Key Points

To synthesize emerging evidence on the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving cardiovascular disease initiation, progression, and tissue remodelling across biological scales.
Reviewed experimental studies and narrative syntheses addressing metabolic regulation, inflammatory signalling networks, and post-transcriptional gene regulation in cardiovascular systems.
Evaluated preclinical models exploring therapeutic interventions, including metformin, the CXCR2/CXCL1 inhibitor ladarixin, and RNA-binding proteins Roquin-1 and Roquin-2.
Metformin suppressed cardiac fibroblast differentiation and cellular senescence through the preservation of fatty acid β-oxidation and mitochondrial bioenergetics.
Pharmacological inhibition of CXCR2/CXCL1 signalling with ladarixin attenuated pathological inflammatory responses in endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cells.
RNA-binding proteins Roquin-1 and Roquin-2 regulated post-infarction cardiac remodelling by controlling microRNA stability and downstream transcriptional networks.
