Exploring Metal-Mediated Cell Death in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy: Dr. Lu Cai’s Keynote Insights

The upcoming International Conference on Cardiology and Cardiovascular Science, happening March 26-28, 2026 in Singapore and Online, will feature a remarkable keynote by Dr. Lu Cai, a leading researcher from the University of Louisville School of Medicine, USA.

Dr. Cai will discuss the complex mechanisms behind diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and the critical role of metal-mediated cell death in disease progression. His research highlights cutting-edge discoveries that could transform future therapies for diabetic heart disease.

Highlights from the Keynote Presentation:

·         Cardiac inflammation and myocyte death are key drivers of DCM.

·         Identification of diverse types of cell death, including apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, ferroptosis, and cuproptosis.

·         Ferroptosis emerges as a major mechanism in DCM, triggered by advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).

·         Engineered cardiac tissue studies reveal ferroptosis through changes in Ptgs2, lipid peroxides, ferritin, and SLC7A11.

·         Protective interventions with ferrostatin-1, deferoxamine, and liproxstatin-1 successfully prevent cardiac dysfunction.

·         Sulforaphane, via AMPK-dependent NRF2 activation, inhibits ferroptosis and offers cardiac protection.

·         Investigating the influence of metals like copper, zinc, and cadmium on cardiomyocyte health and DCM progression.

·         Opens pathways for next-generation therapies targeting metal-dependent cell death in diabetes-related heart disease.

Dr. Cai’s research continues to illuminate the intricate connections between metals, cell death, and heart health, paving the way for innovative treatments that could significantly reduce diabetic heart complications.
