Blue-light based Cardiac rejuvenation therapy: Exposure to intense blue light suppresses tumor suppressor INK4a/p16 expression and inhibits dilated cardiomyopathy, via upregulation of its target gene, 27/November/2018, 10.28 am
Molecular therapy for safeguarding your heart against cardiac dysfunction: Prostaglandin E2(PGE2)/Dinoprostone (trade name: Cervidil, Propess, and others), the drug used to induce labor and in others, decreases tumor suppressor Mir-128 and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27 expression, increases SUZ12 expression, increases Cyclin E and CDK2 expression, promotes proliferation/re-entry of postnatal/adult cardiomyocytes, attenuates fibrosis, ameliorates cardiac dysfunction, and promotes heart repair in response to myocardial infarction, via up-regulation of its target gene, 27/November/2018, 10.10 am

Laminar shear stress-based therapy for autoimmune diabetes (TIDM): Laminar shear stress increases PD-L1 expression, increases Tregs function, promotes immune tolerance, increases pancreatic β-cell proliferation and regeneration, increases insulin secretion, improves insulin sensitivity, increases energy utilization, and reverses TIDM, via up-regulation of its target gene, 27/November/2018, 11.25 am

What we say:
Dr L Boominathan PhD, the Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports that: Blue-light based Cardiac rejuvenation therapy: Exposure to intense blue light suppresses tumor suppressor INK4a/p16 expression and inhibits dilated cardiomyopathy, via upregulation of its target gene
From the Significance of the study to Public health relevance:
Given that: (1) cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide; (2) Dilated cardiomyopathy is the leading cause of Heart failure; (3) the raise of death rate, due to cardiovascular disease, has increased from 12.3 million in 1990 to 17.3 million in 2013; (4) 13% of cardiovascular disease occur due to uncontrolled high blood pressure; (5) in India, in 2004, 14.6 lakhs deaths (14% of total deaths) were due to ischemic heart disease; (6) 85% of people over 80 years are susceptible to cardiovascular diseases; (7) the global economic cost spent in the treatment of cardiovascular disease in 2011 was little more than 10 billion US dollars; (8) the death due to cardiovascular disease is higher in low-to-middle income countries compared to developed countries; and (9) an alarming number of people, such as 230 lakhs people, will die from cardiovascular diseases each year by 2030, there is an urgent need to find: (i) a cure to diseases, as mentioned above, leading to cardiovascular disease; (ii) a way to induce regeneration of adult cardiomyocytes that were lost in Myocardial patients; (iii) a cheaper alternative to the existing expensive drugs; and (iv) a side-effect-free Natural product-based drug.
From research findings to therapeutic opportunity:
This study suggests, for the first time, that exposure to intense blue light, by increasing the expression of its target gene, it may increase the expression of oncoprotein BMI-1 and suppress the expression of tumor suppressor and the aging marker INK4a/p16 (figure 1 ) in cardiomyocytes.

Figure 1. Mechanistic insight into exposure to intense blue light may function as a cardioprotective agent. Exposure to intense blue light inhibits dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure, via down-regulation of aging/senescence marker INK4a
Figure 2. Exposure to intense blue light protects against cardiac myopathy through down-regulation of tumor suppressor INK4a
Thereby, it may: (1) inhibit cardiac senescence; (2) increase of regenerative potential in aged tissues; and (3) improve ventricular dimensions and contractility.
Thus, (1) by exposing myocardial patients with blue light , one may prevent Dilated cardiomyopathy and ageing-associated (or, stress-associated) decline in cardiac function; and (2) blue light-based treatment, either alone or in combination with any of the known cardioprotective drugs” may be used to inhibit dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure (figure 1).
