Burki S, Noda K, Philips BJ, Velayutham M, Shiva S, Sanchez PG, Kumar A, D'Cunha J. Impact of triptolide during ex vivo lung perfusion on grafts after transplantation in a rat model. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2020; 161:S0022-5223(20)30191-4. [PMID: 32169373 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2019.12.104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2019] [Revised: 10/30/2019] [Accepted: 12/19/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ex vivo lung perfusion creates a proinflammatory environment leading to deterioration in graft quality that may contribute to post-transplant graft dysfunction. Triptolide has been shown to have a therapeutic potential in various disease states because of its anti-inflammatory properties. On this basis, we investigated the impact of triptolide on graft preservation during ex vivo lung perfusion and associated post-transplant outcomes in a rat transplant model. METHODS We performed rat normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion with acellular Steen solution containing 100 nM triptolide for 4 hours and compared the data with untreated lungs. Orthotopic single lung transplantation after ex vivo lung perfusion was performed. RESULTS Physiologic and functional parameters of lung grafts on ex vivo lung perfusion with triptolide were better than those without treatment. Graft glucose consumption was significantly attenuated on ex vivo lung perfusion with triptolide via inhibition of hypoxia signaling resulting in improved mitochondrial function and reduced oxidative stress. Also, intragraft inflammation was markedly lower in triptolide-treated lungs because of inhibition of nuclear factor-κB signaling. Furthermore, post-transplant graft function and inflammatory events were significantly improved in the triptolide group compared with the untreated group. CONCLUSIONS Treatment of lung grafts with triptolide during ex vivo lung perfusion may serve to enhance graft preservation and improve graft protection resulting in better post-transplant outcomes.

Abstract
Rationale: Intraerythrocytic polymerization of Hb S promotes hemolysis and vasoocclusive events in the microvasculature of patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Although platelet-neutrophil aggregate-dependent vasoocclusion is known to occur in the lung and contribute to acute chest syndrome, the etiological mechanisms that trigger acute chest syndrome are largely unknown.Objectives: To identify the innate immune mechanism that promotes platelet-neutrophil aggregate-dependent lung vasoocclusion and injury in SCD.Methods:In vivo imaging of the lung in transgenic humanized SCD mice and in vitro imaging of SCD patient blood flowing through a microfluidic system was performed. SCD mice were systemically challenged with nanogram quantities of LPS to trigger lung vasoocclusion.Measurements and Main Results: Platelet-inflammasome activation led to generation of IL-1β and caspase-1-carrying platelet extracellular vesicles (EVs) that bind to neutrophils and promote platelet-neutrophil aggregation in lung arterioles of SCD mice in vivo and SCD human blood in microfluidics in vitro. The inflammasome activation, platelet EV generation, and platelet-neutrophil aggregation were enhanced by the presence of LPS at a nanogram dose in SCD but not control human blood. Inhibition of the inflammasome effector caspase-1 or IL-1β pathway attenuated platelet EV generation, prevented platelet-neutrophil aggregation, and restored microvascular blood flow in lung arterioles of SCD mice in vivo and SCD human blood in microfluidics in vitro.Conclusions: These results are the first to identify that platelet-inflammasome-dependent shedding of IL-1β and caspase-1-carrying platelet EVs promote lung vasoocclusion in SCD. The current findings also highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting the platelet-inflammasome-dependent innate immune pathway to prevent acute chest syndrome.

Abstract
It is now becoming clear that human metabolism is extremely plastic and varies substantially between healthy individuals. Understanding the biochemistry that underlies this physiology will enable personalized clinical interventions related to metabolism. Mitochondrial quality control and the detailed mechanisms of mitochondrial energy generation are central to understanding susceptibility to pathologies associated with aging including cancer, cardiac and neurodegenerative diseases. A precision medicine approach is also needed to evaluate the impact of exercise or caloric restriction on health. In this review, we discuss how technical advances in assessing mitochondrial genetics, cellular bioenergetics and metabolomics offer new insights into developing metabolism-based clinical tests and metabolotherapies. We discuss informatics approaches, which can define the bioenergetic-metabolite interactome and how this can help define healthy energetics. We propose that a personalized medicine approach that integrates metabolism and bioenergetics with physiologic parameters is central for understanding the pathophysiology of diseases with a metabolic etiology. New approaches that measure energetics and metabolomics from cells isolated from human blood or tissues can be of diagnostic and prognostic value to precision medicine. This is particularly significant with the development of new metabolotherapies, such as mitochondrial transplantation, which could help treat complex metabolic diseases.

[PMID: 31634463 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2019.116922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2019] [Revised: 09/19/2019] [Accepted: 09/27/2019] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Nitric oxide (NO) has a critical, but not well understood, influence in the physiology of the lower urinary tract. We evaluated the effect of NO/phosphodiesterase (PDE)5 signaling in voiding dysfunction in the sickle cell disease (SCD) mouse, characterized by low NO bioavailability. MAIN METHODS Adult SCD (Sickle) and wild-type (WT) male mice were treated daily with sodium nitrate (10 mM) or vehicle. After 18 days, blood was obtained for nitrite measurement, urethra was collected for organ bath study, and bladder and urethra were collected for Western blot analysis of PDE5 phosphorylation (Ser-92) (activated form). Non-anesthetized mice underwent evaluation of urine volume by void spot assay. eNOS phosphorylation (Ser-1177) and nNOS phosphorylation (Ser-1412) (positive regulatory sites) were evaluated in the bladder and urethra of untreated mice. KEY FINDINGS Sickle mice exhibited decreased eNOS, nNOS, and PDE5 phosphorylation in the bladder and urethra, decreased plasma nitrite levels, increased relaxation of phenylephrine-contracted urethral tissue to an NO donor sodium nitroprusside, and increased total urine volume, compared with WT mice. Nitrate treatment normalized plasma nitrite levels, relaxation of urethra to sodium nitroprusside, PDE5 phosphorylation in the urethra and bladder, and urine volume in Sickle mice. SIGNIFICANCE Derangement in PDE5 activity associated with basally low NO bioavailability in the bladder and urethra contributes to the molecular basis for voiding abnormalities in Sickle mice. Inorganic nitrate supplementation normalized voiding in Sickle mice through mechanisms likely involving upregulation of PDE5 activity. These findings suggest that interventions targeting dysregulatory NO/PDE5 signaling may ameliorate overactive bladder in SCD.

Abstract
Neutrophil infiltration and neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) in solid cancers are associated with poorer prognosis, but the mechanisms are incompletely understood. We hypothesized that NETs enhance mitochondrial function in tumor cells, providing extra energy for accelerated growth. Metastatic colorectal cancer tissue showed increased intratumoral NETs and supranormal preoperative serum MPO-DNA, a NET marker. Higher MPO-DNA correlated with shorter survival. In mice, subcutaneous tumor implants and hepatic metastases grew slowly in PAD4-KO mice, genetically incapable of NETosis. In parallel experiments, human cancer cell lines grew slower in nu/nu mice treated with DNAse, which disassembles NETs. PAD4-KO tumors manifested decreased proliferation, increased apoptosis, and increased evidence of oxidative stress. PAD4-KO tumors had decreased mitochondrial density, mitochondrial DNA, a lesser degree of ATP production, along with significantly decreased mitochondrial biogenesis proteins PGC1α, TFAM, and NRF-1. In vitro, cancer cells treated with NETs upregulated mitochondrial biogenesis-associated genes, increased mitochondrial density, increased ATP production, enhanced the percentage of cancer cells with reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased the oxygen consumption rate. Furthermore, NETs increased cancer cells' expression of fission and fusion-associated proteins, DRP-1 and MFN-2, and mitophagy-linked proteins, PINK1 and Parkin. All of which were decreased in PAD4-KO tumors. Mechanistically, neutrophil elastase released from NETs activated TLR4 on cancer cells, leading to PGC1α upregulation, increased mitochondrial biogenesis, and accelerated growth. Taken together, NETs can directly alter the metabolic programming of cancer cells to increase tumor growth. NETs represent a promising therapeutic target to halt cancer progression. SIGNIFICANCE: Neutrophils through the release of NETs facilitate the growth of stressed cancer cells by altering their bioenergetics, the inhibition of which induces cell death.

Abstract
Aims: Asthma, characterized by airway obstruction and hyper-responsiveness, is more severe and less responsive to treatment in obese subjects. While alterations in mitochondrial function and redox signaling have been implicated in asthma pathogenesis, it is unclear whether these mechanisms differ in lean versus obese asthmatics. In addition, we previously demonstrated that circulating platelets from asthmatic individuals have altered bioenergetics; however, it is unknown whether platelet mitochondrial changes reflect those observed in airway epithelial cells. Herein we hypothesized that lean and obese asthmatics show differential bioenergetics and redox signaling in airway cells and that these alterations could be measured in platelets from the same individual. Results: Using freshly isolated bronchial airway epithelial cells and platelets from lean and obese asthmatics and healthy individuals, we show that both cell types from obese asthmatics have significantly increased glycolysis, basal and maximal respiration, and oxidative stress compared with lean asthmatics and healthy controls. This increased respiration was associated with enhanced arginine metabolism by arginase, which has previously been shown to drive respiration. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was also upregulated in cells from all asthmatics. However, due to nitric oxide synthase uncoupling in obese asthmatics, overall nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability was decreased, preventing NO-dependent inhibition in obese asthmatic cells that was observed in lean asthmatics. Innovation and Conclusion: These data demonstrate bioenergetic differences between lean and obese asthmatics that are, in part, due to differences in NO signaling. They also suggest that the platelet may serve as a useful surrogate to understand redox, oxidative stress and bioenergetic changes in the asthmatic airway.

Abstract
Mitochondria have emerged as a central factor in the pathogenesis and progression of heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases, as well, but no therapies are available to treat mitochondrial dysfunction. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened a group of leading experts in heart failure, cardiovascular diseases, and mitochondria research in August 2018. These experts reviewed the current state of science and identified key gaps and opportunities in basic, translational, and clinical research focusing on the potential of mitochondria-based therapeutic strategies in heart failure. The workshop provided short- and long-term recommendations for moving the field toward clinical strategies for the prevention and treatment of heart failure and cardiovascular diseases by using mitochondria-based approaches.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure but classified into subgroups based on disease etiology. It is established that systemic bioenergetic dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension classified as World Health Organization (WHO) Group 1. Consistent with this, we previously showed that platelets from Group 1 PH patients demonstrate increased glycolysis and enhanced maximal capacity for oxidative phosphorylation, which is due to increased fatty acid oxidation (FAO). However, it remains unclear whether identical mitochondrial alterations contribute to the pathology of other PH subgroups. The most prevalent subgroup of PH is WHO Group 2, which encompasses pulmonary venous hypertension secondary to left heart disease. Here, we hypothesized that platelets from Group 2 subjects show bioenergetic alteration compared to controls, and that these changes were similar to Group 1 PH patients. Method and results We isolated platelets from subjects with Group 2 PH and controls (n = 20) and measured platelet bioenergetics as well as hemodynamic parameters. We demonstrate that Group 2 PH platelets do not show a change in glycolytic rate but do demonstrate enhanced maximal capacity of respiration due at least partially to increased FAO. Moreover, this enhanced maximal capacity correlates negatively with right ventricular stroke work index and is not changed by administration of inhaled nitrite, a modulator of pulmonary hemodynamics. Conclusions These data demonstrate that Group 2 PH subjects have altered bioenergetic function though this alteration is not identical to that of Group 1 PH. The implications of this alteration for disease pathogenesis will be discussed.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a phenotype characterized by irreversible growth arrest, chronic elevated secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix proteases, a phenomenon known as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Biomarkers of cellular senescence have been shown to increase with age and degeneration of human disc tissue. Senescent disc cells in culture recapitulate features associated with age-related disc degeneration, including increased secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, matrix proteases, and fragmentation of matrix proteins. However, little is known of the metabolic changes that underlie the senescent phenotype of disc cells. To assess the metabolic changes, we performed a bioenergetic analysis of in vitro oxidative stress-induced senescent (SIS) human disc cells. SIS disc cells acquire SASP and exhibit significantly elevated mitochondrial content and mitochondrial ATP-linked respiration. The metabolic changes appear to be driven by the upregulated protein secretion in SIS cells as abrogation of protein synthesis using cycloheximide decreased mitochondrial ATP-linked respiration. Taken together, the results of the study suggest that the increased energy generation state supports the secretion of senescent associated proteins in SIS disc cells.

Abstract
Petite Integration Factor 1 (PIF1) is a multifunctional helicase present in nuclei and mitochondria. PIF1 knock out (KO) mice exhibit accelerated weight gain and decreased wheel running on a normal chow diet. In the current study, we investigated whether Pif1 ablation alters whole body metabolism in response to weight gain. PIF1 KO and wild type (WT) C57BL/6J mice were fed a Western diet (WD) rich in fat and carbohydrates before evaluation of their metabolic phenotype. Compared with weight gain-resistant WT female mice, WD-fed PIF1 KO females, but not males, showed accelerated adipose deposition, decreased locomotor activity, and reduced whole-body energy expenditure without increased dietary intake. Surprisingly, PIF1 KO females did not show obesity-induced alterations in fasting blood glucose and glucose clearance. WD-fed PIF1 KO females developed mild hepatic steatosis and associated changes in liver gene expression that were absent in weight-matched, WD-fed female controls, linking hepatic steatosis to Pif1 ablation rather than increased body weight. WD-fed PIF1 KO females also showed decreased expression of inflammation-associated genes in adipose tissue. Collectively, these data separated weight gain from inflammation and impaired glucose homeostasis. They also support a role for Pif1 in weight gain resistance and liver metabolic dysregulation during nutrient stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical function decreases with age, and though bioenergetic alterations contribute to this decline, the mechanisms by which mitochondrial function changes with age remains unclear. This is partially because human mitochondrial studies require highly invasive procedures, such as muscle biopsies, to obtain live tissue with functional mitochondria. However, recent studies demonstrate that circulating blood cells are potentially informative in identifying systemic bioenergetic changes. Here, we hypothesize that human platelet bioenergetics reflect bioenergetics measured in muscle biopsies. METHODS & RESULTS We demonstrate that maximal and ATP-linked respiratory rate measured in isolated platelets from older adults (86-93 years) correlates significantly with maximal respiration (r = 0.595; P = 0.003) measured by muscle biopsy respirometry and maximal ATP production (r = 0.643; P = 0.004) measured by 31P-MRS respectively, in the same individuals. Comparison of platelet bioenergetics in this aged cohort to platelets from younger adults (18-35 years) shows aged adults demonstrate lower basal and ATP-linked respiration. Platelets from older adults also show enhanced proton leak, which is likely due to increased protein levels of uncoupling protein 2, and correlates with increased gate speed in this cohort (r = 0.58; P = 0.0019). While no significant difference in glycolysis was observed in older adults compared to younger adults, platelet glycolytic rate correlated with fatigability (r = 0.44; P = 0.016). CONCLUSIONS These data advance the mechanistic understanding of age-related changes in mitochondrial function. Further, they suggest that measuring platelet bioenergetics provides a potential supplement or surrogate for muscle biopsy measurement and may be a valuable tool to study mitochondrial involvement in age-related decline of physical function.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Delivery of the stromal cell-derived cytokine IL-33 protects allografts from rejection by acting on CD11c+ DC that facilitate the expansion of regulatory T cells (Treg). IL-33 administration also permits tolerance induction at doses of co-stimulatory blockade that fails on their own. Based on these data we hypothesized that IL-33-stimulated DC represent a tolerogenic DC subset and their precise examination will define biochemical pathways that contribute to tolerogenic DC functions.
Methods
Mouse bone marrow-derived CD11c+ DCs were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or IL-33 before nitric oxide (NO) generation, glucose and fatty acid uptake, and mitochondrial function and potential were assessed by EPR spectroscopy, flow cytometry, and Seahorse analysis.
Results
DC responded to the TLR4 ligand LPS by generating high levels of NO and shifting their metabolic activity to aerobic glycolysis. This was in stark contrast to IL-33, which caused a metabolic reprogramming in DC that involved augmented mitochondrial basal respiration, ATP production, and maximum respiration. IL-33-stimulated DC also displayed increase mitochondrial potential and a profound increase in the uptake of fatty acids.
Conclusions
It has emerged that immunogenic DCs undergo metabolic changes that enables their pro-inflammatory functions. The metabolic underpinnings of tolerogenic DCs is less understood. Here we show that IL-33-stimulated DC, which potently expand Treg, rely on oxidative phosphorylation and uptake fatty acids. These data suggest IL-33 initiates metabolic reprogramming matching those found in regulatory myeloid populations, including tumor associated DC and alternatively activated macrophages.

Abstract
The mitochondrial acetyltransferase-related protein GCN5L1 controls the activity of fuel substrate metabolism enzymes in several tissues. While previous studies have demonstrated that GCN5L1 regulates fatty acid oxidation in the prediabetic heart, our understanding of its role in overt diabetes is not fully developed. In this study, we examined how hyperglycemic conditions regulate GCN5L1 expression in cardiac tissues, and modeled the subsequent effect in cardiac cells in vitro. We show that GCN5L1 abundance is significantly reduced under diabetic conditions in vivo, which correlated with reduced acetylation of known GCN5L1 fuel metabolism substrate enzymes. Treatment of cardiac cells with high glucose reduced Gcn5l1 expression in vitro, while expression of the counteracting deacetylase enzyme, Sirt3, was unchanged. Finally, we show that genetic depletion of GCN5L1 in H9c2 cells leads to reduced mitochondrial oxidative capacity under high glucose conditions. These data suggest that GCN5L1 expression is highly responsive to changes in cellular glucose levels, and that loss of GCN5L1 activity under hyperglycemic conditions impairs cardiac energy metabolism.

Abstract
Myoglobin is a monomeric heme protein expressed ubiquitously in skeletal and cardiac muscle and is traditionally considered to function as an oxygen reservoir for mitochondria during hypoxia. It is now well established that low concentrations of myoglobin are aberrantly expressed in a significant proportion of breast cancer tumors. Despite being expressed only at low levels in these tumors, myoglobin is associated with attenuated tumor growth and a better prognosis in breast cancer patients, but the mechanism of this myoglobin-mediated protection against further cancer growth remains unclear. Herein, we report a signaling pathway by which myoglobin regulates mitochondrial dynamics and thereby decreases cell proliferation. We demonstrate in vitro that expression of human myoglobin in MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, and MCF7 breast cancer cells induces mitochondrial hyperfusion by up-regulating mitofusins 1 and 2, the predominant catalysts of mitochondrial fusion. This hyperfusion causes cell cycle arrest and subsequent inhibition of cell proliferation. Mechanistically, increased mitofusin expression was due to myoglobin-dependent free-radical production, leading to the oxidation and degradation of the E3 ubiquitin ligase parkin. We recapitulated this pathway in a murine model in which myoglobin-expressing xenografts exhibited decreased tumor volume with increased mitofusin, markers of cell cycle arrest, and decreased parkin expression. Furthermore, in human triple-negative breast tumor tissues, mitofusin and myoglobin levels were positively correlated. Collectively, these results elucidate a new function for myoglobin as a modulator of mitochondrial dynamics and reveal a novel pathway by which myoglobin decreases breast cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth by up-regulating mitofusin levels.

Abstract
Mitochondria possess reserve bioenergetic capacity, supporting protection and resilience in the face of disease. Approaches are limited to understand factors that impact mitochondrial functional reserve in humans. We applied the mitochondrial stress test (MST) to platelets from healthy subjects and found correlations between energetic parameters and mitochondrial function. These parameters were not correlated with mitochondrial complex I-IV activities, however, suggesting that other factors affect mitochondrial bioenergetics and metabolism. Platelets from African American patients with sickle cell disease also differed from controls, further showing that other factors impact mitochondrial bioenergetics and metabolism. To test for correlations of platelet metabolites with energetic parameters, we performed an integrated analysis of metabolomics and MST parameters. Subsets of metabolites, including fatty acids and xenobiotics correlated with mitochondrial parameters. The results establish platelets as a platform to integrate bioenergetics and metabolism for analysis of mitochondrial function in precision medicine.

Abstract
Dietary NO3- (nitrate) and NO2- (nitrite) support ˙NO (nitric oxide) generation and downstream vascular signaling responses. These nitrogen oxides also generate secondary nitrosating and nitrating species that react with low molecular weight thiols, heme centers, proteins, and unsaturated fatty acids. To explore the kinetics of NO3-and NO2-metabolism and the impact of dietary lipid on nitrogen oxide metabolism and cardiovascular responses, the stable isotopes Na15NO3 and Na15NO2 were orally administered in the presence or absence of conjugated linoleic acid (cLA). The reduction of 15NO2- to 15NO was indicated by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy detection of hyperfine splitting patterns reflecting 15NO-deoxyhemoglobin complexes. This formation of 15NO also translated to decreased systolic and mean arterial blood pressures and inhibition of platelet function. Upon concurrent administration of cLA, there was a significant increase in plasma cLA nitration products 9- and 12-15NO2-cLA. Coadministration of cLA with 15NO2- also impacted the pharmacokinetics and physiological effects of 15NO2-, with cLA administration suppressing plasma NO3-and NO2-levels, decreasing 15NO-deoxyhemoglobin formation, NO2-inhibition of platelet activation, and the vasodilatory actions of NO2-, while enhancing the formation of 9- and 12-15NO2-cLA. These results indicate that the biochemical reactions and physiological responses to oral 15NO3-and 15NO2-are significantly impacted by dietary constituents, such as unsaturated lipids. This can explain the variable responses to NO3-and NO2-supplementation in clinical trials and reveals dietary strategies for promoting the generation of pleiotropic nitrogen oxide-derived lipid signaling mediators.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a small free radical with critical signaling roles in physiology and pathophysiology. The generation of sufficient NO levels to regulate the resistance of the blood vessels and hence the maintenance of adequate blood flow is critical to the healthy performance of the vasculature. A novel paradigm indicates that classical NO synthesis by dedicated NO synthases is supplemented by nitrite reduction pathways under hypoxia. At the same time, reactive oxygen species (ROS), which include superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, are produced in the vascular system for signaling purposes, as effectors of the immune response, or as byproducts of cellular metabolism. NO and ROS can be generated by distinct enzymes or by the same enzyme through alternate reduction and oxidation processes. The latter oxidoreductase systems include NO synthases, molybdopterin enzymes, and hemoglobins, which can form superoxide by reduction of molecular oxygen or NO by reduction of inorganic nitrite. Enzymatic uncoupling, changes in oxygen tension, and the concentration of coenzymes and reductants can modulate the NO/ROS production from these oxidoreductases and determine the redox balance in health and disease. The dysregulation of the mechanisms involved in the generation of NO and ROS is an important cause of cardiovascular disease and target for therapy. In this review we will present the biology of NO and ROS in the cardiovascular system, with special emphasis on their routes of formation and regulation, as well as the therapeutic challenges and opportunities for the management of NO and ROS in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
AIM Chronic stress exacerbates the symptoms of most pain disorders including interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). Abnormalities in urothelial cells (UTC) occur in this debilitating bladder condition. The sequence of events that might link stress (presumably through increased sympathetic nervous system-SNS activity) to urothelial dysfunction are unknown. Since autonomic dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress all occur in chronic pain, we investigated whether chronic psychological stress initiated a cascade linking these three dysfunctions. METHODS Adult female Wistar Kyoto rats were exposed to 10 days of water avoidance stress (WAS). Bladders were then harvested for Western blot and single cell imaging in UTC cultures. RESULTS UTC from WAS rats exhibited depolarized mitochondria membrane potential (Ψm ∼30% more depolarized compared to control), activated AMPK and altered UT mitochondria bioenergetics. Expression of the fusion protein mitofusion-2 (MFN-2) was upregulated in the mucosa, suggesting mitochondrial structural changes consistent with altered cellular metabolism. Intracellular calcium levels were elevated in cultured WAS UTC, consistent with impaired cellular function. Stimulation of cultured UTC with alpha-adrenergic (α-AR) receptor agonists increased reactive oxidative species (ROS) production, suggesting a direct action of SNS activity on UTC. Treatment of rats with guanethidine to block SNS activity prevented most of WAS-induced changes. CONCLUSIONS Chronic stress results in persistent sympathetically mediated effects that alter UTC mitochondrial function. This may impact the urothelial barrier and signaling, which contributes to bladder dysfunction and pain. This is the first demonstration, to our knowledge, of a potential autonomic mechanism directly linking stress to mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease for which age is the most important risk factor. Different mechanisms associated with aging, including stem cell dysfunction, have been described to participate in the pathophysiology of IPF. We observed an extrapulmonary effect associated with IPF: increase in cell senescence of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (B-MSCs). Methods B-MSCs were obtained from vertebral bodies procured from IPF patients and age-matched normal controls. Cell senescence was determined by cell proliferation and expression of markers of cell senescence p16INK4A, p21, and β-galactosidase activity. Mitochondrial function and DNA damage were measured. Paracrine induction of senescence and profibrotic responses were analyzed in vitro using human lung fibroblasts. The reparative capacity of B-MSCs was examined in vivo using the bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis model. Results In our study, we demonstrate for the first time that B-MSCs from IPF patients are senescent with significant differences in mitochondrial function, with accumulation of DNA damage resulting in defects in critical cell functions when compared with age-matched controls. Senescent IPF B-MSCs have the capability of paracrine senescence by inducing senescence in normal-aged fibroblasts, suggesting a possible link between senescent B-MSCs and the late onset of the disease. IPF B-MSCs also showed a diminished capacity to migrate and were less effective in preventing fibrotic changes observed in mice after bleomycin-induced injury, increasing illness severity and proinflammatory responses. Conclusions We describe extrapulmonary alterations in B-MSCs from IPF patients. The consequences of having senescent B-MSCs are not completely understood, but the decrease in their ability to respond to normal activation and the risk of having a negative impact on the local niche by inducing inflammation and senescence in the neighboring cells suggests a new link between B-MSC and the onset of the disease.

Abstract
Oxidative stress contributes to the adverse pathophysiology of cardiac remodeling in heart failure. During oxidative stress, hemoprotein heme-iron can be oxidized, often altering the function of these proteins. We previously reported that cytochrome b5 reductase 3 (Cyb5R3) regulates heme iron redox in the vascular wall. While conducting vasoreactivity studies with a small-molecule Cyb5R3 inhibitor, we unexpectedly observed inhibition resulted in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) with reduced ejection fraction. Based on this study, we generated the first cardiomyocyte Cyb5R3 knockout mouse. Heart specific Cyb5R3 knockout resulted in DCM with >50% lethality in 15 days. H&E staining, wheat germ agglutinin immunofluorescence staining, transmission electron microscopy and diffusion tensor MRI shows that loss of Cyb5R3 causes myocardial atrophy and fibrosis. Due to the known heme iron reducing function of Cyb5R3, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was used to assess the abundance of reduced and oxidized myoglobin ex vivo. Cyb5R3 knockout hearts had approximately 30% more oxidation relative to controls. Hypoxyprobe staining, which senses tissue pO2 below 5mmHg, showed Cyb5R3 expression is required for maintaining intra-cardiomyocyte pO
2
, likely through myoglobin heme-iron reduction. Decreased pO
2
was supported by altered mitochondrial dynamics. Complex IV activity was significantly reduced, along with decreased mitochondrial size and total ATP. Heme degradation protein, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was significantly upregulated, suggesting that Cyb5R3 knockout may result in increased free-heme toxicity leading to intracellular damage. To translate these findings to humans, we conducted a retrospective study using a high-frequency T117S variant in African Americans. T117S carriers had significantly accelerated mortality post-first acute cardiac event. A T117S mouse was generated and received trans-aortic constriction (TAC) for 2 weeks. Preliminary results suggest T117S TAC mice have accelerated cardiac remodeling and time to death after pressure overload relative to C57B6/J TAC controls. Together, these data support Cyb5R3 expression may have an important role as a heme-iron reductase in cardiomyocyte function.

Abstract
Background:
Energy starvation resulting from impaired mitochondrial function is one of the key mechanisms of heart failure development. Emerging evidence shows that lysine acetylation is one of the critical post-translational modifications that modulates mitochondrial bioenergetic output. We have identified
General Control of Amino-Acid Synthesis 5-like 1 (GCN5L1)
as a key acetyltransferase protein responsible for dynamic mitochondrial protein acetylation, and that this mechanism plays an essential role in regulating fatty acid oxidation. However, the role of GCN5L1 regulation on mitochondrial function in heart failure development is unknown.
Methods and results:
We examined GCN5L1 expression in cultured neonatal cardiac myocytes (RNCM) challenged with hypertrophy inducer phenylepherine (PE), and in failing hearts. We found that GCN5L1 mRNA and protein expression is markedly decreased in RNCM treated with PE, and in heart failure induced by mouse transaortic constriction (TAC). In addition, total mitochondrial protein acetylation in failing hearts was significantly decreased, corresponding to the decreased levels of GCN5L1. Next, we investigated the impact of decreased level of GCN5L1 on mitochondrial function and cardiac function in response to pathological stress. We found that GCN5L1 knockdown by shRNA in RNCM results in a decrease in basal oxygen consumption rate and ATP-linked respiration upon PE stimulation. More importantly, knocking down GCN5L1 in the presence of PE exacerbates the RNCM hypertrophic response assessed by increased cellular area and elevated ANP and BNP. Consistent with these
in vitro
studies, cardiac specific GCN5L1 knockout mice subjected to TAC display accelerated cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, compared to WT littermates (fractional shortening 15.7% vs 26.4%, n=6-7 in each group,
P
< 0.05).
Conclusion:
GCN5L1 plays a critical role in mitochondrial function and cardiac bioenergetics in response to stress. Impaired GCN5L1 function might be one of the key mechanisms of metabolic derangement in heart failure development, and could be a promising therapeutic target.

Abstract
The globular dioxygen binding heme protein myoglobin (Mb) is present in several species. Its interactions with the simple nitrogen oxides, namely, nitric oxide (NO) and nitrite, have been known for decades, but the physiological relevance has only recently become more fully appreciated. We previously reported the O-nitrito mode of binding of nitrite to ferric horse heart wild-type (wt) MbIII and human hemoglobin. We have expanded on this work and report the interactions of nitrite with wt sperm whale (sw) MbIII and its H64A, H64Q, and V68A/I107Y mutants whose dissociation constants increase in the following order: H64Q < wt < V68A/I107Y < H64A. We also report their X-ray crystal structures that reveal the O-nitrito mode of binding of nitrite to these derivatives. The MbII-mediated reductions of nitrite to NO and structural data for the wt and mutant MbII-NOs are described. We show that their FeNO orientations vary with distal pocket identity, with the FeNO moieties pointing toward the hydrophobic interiors when the His64 residue is present but toward the hydrophilic exterior when this His64 residue is absent in this set of mutants. This correlates with the nature of H-bonding to the bound NO ligand (nitrosyl O vs N atom). Quantum mechanics and hybrid quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics calculations help elucidate the origin of the experimentally preferred NO orientations. In a few cases, the calculations reproduce the experimentally observed orientations only when the whole protein is taken into consideration.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is emerging as a serious complication associated with
hemolytic disorders, and plexiform lesions (PXL) have been reported in patients
with sickle cell disease (SCD). We hypothesized that repetitive hemolysis per se
induces PH and angioproliferative vasculopathy and evaluated a new mechanism for
hemolysis-associated PH (HA-PH) that involves the release of adenosine deaminase
(ADA) and purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) from erythrocytes. In healthy
rats, repetitive administration of hemolyzed autologous blood (HAB) for 10 days
produced reversible pulmonary parenchymal injury and vascular remodeling and PH.
Moreover, the combination of a single dose of Sugen-5416 (SU, 200 mg/kg) and
10-day HAB treatment resulted in severe and progressive obliterative PH and
formation of PXL (Day 26, right ventricular peak systolic pressure (mmHg):
26.1 ± 1.1, 41.5 ± 0.5 and 85.1 ± 5.9 in untreated, HAB treated and SU+HAB
treated rats, respectively). In rats, repetitive administration of HAB increased
plasma ADA activity and reduced urinary adenosine levels. Similarly, SCD
patients had higher plasma ADA and PNP activity and accelerated adenosine,
inosine, and guanosine metabolism than healthy controls. Our study provides
evidence that hemolysis per se leads to the development of angioproliferative
PH. We also report the development of a rat model of HA-PH that closely mimics
pulmonary vasculopathy seen in patients with HA-PH. Finally, this study suggests
that in hemolytic diseases released ADA and PNP may increase the risk of PH,
likely by abolishing the vasoprotective effects of adenosine, inosine and
guanosine. Further characterization of this new rat model of hemolysis-induced
angioproliferative PH and additional studies of the role of purines metabolism
in HA-PH are warranted.
