Zhou BH, Wei SS, Jia LS, Zhang Y, Miao CY, Wang HW. Drp1/Mff signaling pathway is involved in fluoride-induced abnormal fission of hepatocyte mitochondria in mice. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 725:138192. [PMID: 32278173 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.138192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2019] [Revised: 03/20/2020] [Accepted: 03/23/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Fluoride, a toxic substance, is widely distributed in the environment and causes serious damage to the body. This study was performed to investigate the effects of fluoride on mitochondrial fission in mouse hepatocytes. A total of 48 mice were equally divided into four groups and admisnistered with NaF in drinking water at fluorine ion concentrations of 0, 25, 50 and 100 mg/L for 70 days. The pathomorphology and ultrastructurre of hepatocytes were then observed. The mitochondrial lesion parameters (number, length, width and vacuolization area) are evaluated. The expression of Drp1, Mff, Fis1, MiD49, MiD51 and Dyn2, which are associated with mitochondrial fission, was determined by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. Apoptosis was detected by using TUNEL assay. Results showed that fluoride causes notable changes in the pathological morphology of liver tissues and severely damages the ultrastructure of hepatocytes. Damage manifested as nuclear condensation, nuclear membrane breakdown, mitochondrial vacuolation, increased fragmentation, and mitochondrial fission. Moreover, mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly upregulated in the Drp1/Mff signaling pathway. The mRNA expression levels of Cyt c, caspase 9 and 3 markedly increased in the fluoride treated groups in a dose-dependent manner. The percentage of TUNEL-positive nuclei in the liver remarkably increased after fluoride treatment. Overall, the results indicate that excessive fluoride exposure can increase mitochondrial fission via the Drp1/Mff signaling pathway, severely damage the mitochondrial structure, and lead to apoptosis of hepatocytes.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a highly prevalent neurodegenerative condition. The disease involves the progressive degeneration of dopaminergic neurons located in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Among late-onset, familial forms of Parkinson are cases with mutations in the PARK17 locus encoding the vacuolar protein sorting 35 (Vps35), a subunit of the retromer complex. The retromer complex is composed of a heterotrimeric protein core (Vps26-Vps35-Vps29). The best-known role of retromer is the retrieval of cargoes from endosomes to the Golgi complex or the plasma membrane. However, recent literature indicates that retromer performs roles associated with lysosomal and mitochondrial functions and degradative pathways such as autophagy. A common point mutation affecting the retromer subunit Vps35 is D620N, which has been linked to the alterations in the aforementioned cellular processes as well as with neurodegeneration. Here, we review the main aspects of the malfunction of the retromer complex and its implications for PD pathology. Besides, we highlight several controversies still awaiting clarification.

Abstract
The extensive application of silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) brings about inevitable occupational, environmental, and even iatrogenic exposure for human beings. The liver, which is rich in mitochondria, is one of the target organs of SiNPs, but the underlying mechanisms by which these nanoparticles (NPs) interact with liver mitochondria and affect their functions still remain unclear. In the present study, we examined silicon nanoparticle (SiNP)-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, and further revealed its negative effects on mitochondrial quality control (MQC) in the human liver cell line L-02, including mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy and biogenesis. Consequently, SiNPs induced cellular injury, accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction, including mitochondrial reactive oxygen generation and mitochondrial membrane potential collapse. In line with the transmission electron microscopy (TEM)-observed abnormalities in the mitochondrial morphology and length distribution, a fission phenotype was manifested in the mitochondria of SiNP-exposed cells, and up-regulated DRP1 and FIS1, and down-regulated MFN1, were detected. Furthermore, the enhanced LC3II level, colocalization of the mitochondria and lysosomes, activated PINK1/Parkin signaling, and accumulated p62 in the SiNP-exposed cells suggested mitophagy disorder triggered by SiNPs. In addition, SiNPs inhibited mito-biogenesis, as evidenced by the reduced mitochondrial mass and mtDNA copy number, as well as the suppressed PGC1α-NRF1-TFAM signaling pathway. Overall, the study demonstrates that SiNPs trigger hepatocytotoxicity through interfering with the MQC process, bringing in excessive mitochondrial fission, mitophagy disorder and suppressed mito-biogenesis, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and ensuing cell damage, and ultimately contributing to the occurrence and development of liver diseases. Our research could provide important experimental evidence related to safety assessments of SiNPs, especially in the field of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Acute liver failure (ALF) is often accompanied by dynamic and functional disorders of mitochondria in hepatocytes. The histone deacetylase 6 inhibitor Rocilinostat (ACY1215) has a hepatoprotective effect. However, its protective effect on mitochondria of hepatocytes and its related mechanisms in ALF remain unknown. The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the protective effect of ACY1215 on mitochondrial of hepatocytes in ALF by regulating AMPK signaling pathway. LPS and D-Gal were used to induce ALF model in C57BL/6 mice. D-Gal and TNF-α were applied in L02 cells as model group. ACY1215 was administered to the mice or culture cells before the model' s establishment as ACY1215 group. The normal group in mice and L02 cells was not given any drug intervention. ACY1215 improves liver histological and functional changes in ALF model mice. Compared with normal group, the expression of p-AMPK and p-ACC proteins was decreased in model group. ACY1215 activated the AMPK signaling pathway with an increase of p-AMPK and p-ACC proteins level in model group. ACY1215 treatment decreased levels of mitochondrial fission proteins DRP1 and FIS1, and enhanced levels of mitochondrial fusion proteins MFN1, MFN2 and OPA1 in models. MtDNA copies in model group was decreased compared with normal group, but ACY1215 elevated the mtDNA copies in models. Mitochondrial respiratory electron transfer chain Complex I-III and citrate synthase (CS) activities in model group were decreased compared with normal group, but ACY1215 treatment enhanced these activities in model group. ACY1215 protects against dynamic disorders and dysfunction of mitochondria in hepatocytes in ALF by activating AMPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Mitochondria emerged from bacterial ancestors during endosymbiosis and are crucial for cellular processes such as energy production and homeostasis, stress responses, cell survival, and more. They are the site of aerobic respiration and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in eukaryotes. However, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is also the source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are both important and dangerous for the cell. Human mitochondria contain mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and its integrity may be endangered by the action of ROS. Fortunately, human mitochondria have repair mechanisms that allow protecting mtDNA and repairing lesions that may contribute to the occurrence of mutations. Mutagenesis of the mitochondrial genome may manifest in the form of pathological states such as mitochondrial, neurodegenerative, and/or cardiovascular diseases, premature aging, and cancer. The review describes the mitochondrial structure, genome, and the main mitochondrial repair mechanism (base excision repair (BER)) of oxidative lesions in the context of common features between human mitochondria and bacteria. The authors present a holistic view of the similarities of mitochondria and bacteria to show that bacteria may be an interesting experimental model for studying mitochondrial diseases, especially those where the mechanism of DNA repair is impaired.

Abstract
Mitochondria have a plethora of functions within a eukaryotic cell, ranging from energy production, cell signaling, and protein cofactor synthesis to various aspects of metabolism. Mitochondrial dysfunction is known to cause over 200 named disorders and has been implicated in many human diseases and aging. Mitochondria have their own genetic material, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which encodes 13 protein subunits in the oxidative phosphorylation system and a full set of transfer and rRNAs. Although more than 99% of the proteins in mitochondria are nuclear DNA (nDNA)-encoded, the integrity of mtDNA is critical for mitochondrial functions, as evidenced by mitochondrial diseases sourced from mtDNA mutations and depletions and the vital role of fragmented mtDNA molecules in cell signaling pathways. Previous research has shown that mtDNA is an important target of genotoxic assaults by a variety of chemical and physical factors. This Perspective discusses the prevalence of mtDNA damage by comparing the abundance of lesions in mDNA and nDNA and summarizes current knowledge on the biological pathways to cope with mtDNA damage, including mtDNA repair, mtDNA degradation, and mitochondrial fission and fusion. Also, emerging roles of mtDNA damage in mutagenesis and immune responses are reviewed.

Abstract
The activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-mediated signaling pathway has been involved in the mechanisms of a variety of protective agents against cellular oxidative stress. We recently demonstrated that Dendrobium nobile Lindl. alkaloids (DNLA), the active ingredients of Dendrobium, protects mice from CCl4-induced liver injury, dependent on the Nrf2 signaling pathway. The present study was aimed to determine whether the protection against mitochondrial oxidative damage plays a role in the mode of action of DNLA on CCl4-induced liver injury, and to further investigate whether the DNLA-conferred mitochondrial beneficial effects is dependent on the activation of Nrf2 signaling. The CCl4-induced acute liver injury model was employed in both wild-type (WT) and Nrf2-knockout (Nrf2-/-) mice. The results showed that in WT mice DNLA reduced CCl4-induced liver injury, accompanied by a significant reduction in CCl4-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress as evidenced by a decrease in mitochondrial H2O2 content and MDA production, and a marked increase in GSH level and Mn-SOD activity. However, these protective effects were significantly attenuated in Nrf2-/- mice. Furthermore, the administration of DNLA improved mitochondrial oxygen consumption, elevated ATP production, and decreased CCl4-induced apoptosis in the WT mice, whereas the DNLA-mediated protections on mitochondrial function were diminished in the Nrf2 null mice. These results demonstrate that the improvement of mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in the mechanism of DNLA-mediated protection on CCl4-induced liver injury, and this DNLA-modulated mode of action is dependent on the activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Obesity is a growing threat. In recent years, the finding of functional brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adult humans implemented the studies of anti-obesity therapies based on triggering energy expenditure. The activation of BAT thermogenesis and the recruitment of brite (brown-in-white) adipocytes are under noradrenergic control. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), if centrally administered, enhances thermogenesis through sympathetic activation, but its direct effect on adipocytes is still unclear. The phenotypic change from fat storing to thermogenic adipocytes is recognized by the presence of multilocular lipid droplets (LDs) and fissed mitochondria that tend to surround LDs, maximizing the efficiency of fatty acid release for thermogenesis. BDNF treatment on differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes was compared to negative (CTRL) and positive (norepinephrine, NE) controls. BDNF significantly increased small globular mitochondria percentage (>150% CTRL), while the area surface and elongation index of branched tubules were respectively 55% and 10% lower than NE. Canonical discriminant analysis of mitochondria morphological data clearly separated differentially treated cells with 85% of the total variance. The expression of brown markers and mitochondrial dynamic genes was significantly affected by BDNF. Investigating the pathways involved in adipocyte BDNF stimulation could clarify its role in thermogenesis and its possible local regulation.

Abstract
Mitochondria plays privotal role in diverse pathways that regulate cellular function and survival, and have emerged as a prime focus in aging and age-associated motor neuron diseases (MNDs), such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Accumulating evidence suggests that many amyloidogenic proteins, including MND-associated RNA/DNA-binding proteins fused in sarcoma (FUS) and TAR DNA binding protein (TDP)-43, are strongly linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. Animal model and patient studies have highlighted changes in mitochondrial structure, plasticity, replication/copy number, mitochondrial DNA instability, and altered membrane potential in several subsets of MNDs, and these observations are consistent with the evidence of increased excitotoxicity, induction of reactive oxygen species, and activation of intrinsic apoptotic pathways. Studies in MND rodent models also indicate that mitochondrial abnormalities begin prior to the clinical and pathological onset of the disease, suggesting a causal role of mitochondrial dysfunction. Our recent studies, which demonstrated the involvement of specific defects in DNA break-ligation mediated by DNA ligase 3 (LIG3) in FUS-associated ALS, raised a key question of its potential implication in mitochondrial DNA transactions because LIG3 is essential for both mitochondrial DNA replication and repair. This question, as well as how wild-type and mutant MND-associated factors affect mitochondria, remain to be elucidated. These new investigation avenues into the mechanistic role of mitochondrial dysfunction in MNDs are critical to identify therapeutic targets to alleviate mitochondrial toxicity and its consequences. In this article, we critically review recent advances in our understanding of mitochondrial dysfunction in diverse subgroups of MNDs and discuss challenges and future directions.

Abstract
Background Glucocorticoid (GC)-associated osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is the most common in non-traumatic ONFH. Despite a strong relationship between GC and ONFH, the detailed mechanisms have remained elusive. Recent studies have shown that GC could directly injure the blood vessels and reduce blood supply in the femoral head. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which were inhibited quantitatively and functionally during ONFH, play an important role in maintaining the normal structure and function of vascular endothelium. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is a tumor suppressor gene that promotes cell apoptosis, and its expression was found to be elevated in GC-associated ONFH patients. However, whether direct inhibition of PTEN attenuates GC-associated apoptosis and dysfunction of the EPCs remains largely unknown. Methods We investigated the effect of, VO-OHpic, a potent inhibitor of PTEN, in attenuating GC-associated apoptosis and dysfunction of EPCs and the molecular mechanism. SD rats were used to study the effect of VO-OHpic on angiogenesis and osteonecrosis in vivo. Results The results revealed that methylprednisolone (MPS) obviously inhibit angiogenesis of EPCs by inducing apoptosis, destroying the normal mitochondrial structure, and disrupting function of mitochondria. VO-OHpic treatment is able to reverse the harmful effects by inhibiting the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway and activating the NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling. Si-Nrf2 transfection significantly reduced the protective effects of VO-OHpic on EPCs. Our in vivo studies also showed that intraperitoneal injection of VO-OHpic obviously attenuates the osteonecrosis of the femoral head induced by MPS and potently increases the blood supply in the femoral head. Conclusion Taken together, the data suggests that inhibition of PTEN with VO-OHpic attenuates apoptosis and promotes angiogenesis of EPCs in vitro via activating Nrf2 signaling pathway and inhibiting the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. Moreover, VO-OHpic also mitigates GC-associated ONFH and potentiates angiogenesis in the femoral head.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiation dysfunction is a common pathological phenotype of several prevalent metabolic and genetic bone diseases. Pyruvate kinase muscle isoenzyme 2 (PKM2) regulates the last step of glycolysis, and its role in BMSCs differentiation is still unknown. In this study, the influence of PKM2 on osteogenesis and adipogenesis was assessed in vitro and in vivo. We found that DASA-58 (the activator of PKM2) reduced the enzymatic activity of ALP, and inhibited the levels of osteogenic marker genes, especially RUNX2, which is a crucial transcription factor for osteogenesis. Besides, we provided evidence that C3k, an inhibitor of PKM2, caused increase in mitochondrial membrane potential and maintained low levels of ROS, and promoted mitochondrial fusion. Furthermore, after treatment with DASA-58, the level of active β-catenin gradually decreased, which also inhibited the transport of active β-catenin into the nucleus, but C3k obviously promoted its nuclear translocation. As for adipogenesis, PKM2 activation increased the expression of adipogenic related genes and decreased active-β-catenin expression, whereas treatment of C3k had the opposite effect. In addition, C3k significantly attenuated ovariectomy-induced trabecular bone loss in vivo. Our findings helped uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying PKM2 regulation of BMSCs differentiation.

Abstract
In recent years, nanomaterials have been widely applied in electronics, food, biomedicine and other fields, resulting in increased human exposure and consequent research focus on their biological and toxic effects. Mitochondria, the main target organelle for nanomaterials (NM), play a critical role in their toxic activities. Several studies to date have shown that nanomaterials cause alterations in mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial membrane potential, opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) and mitochondrial respiratory function, and promote cytochrome C release. An earlier mitochondrial toxicity study of NMs additionally reported induction of mitochondrial dynamic changes. Here, we have reviewed the mitochondrial toxicity of NMs and provided a scientific basis for the contribution of mitochondria to the toxicological effects of different NMs along with approaches to reduce mitochondrial and, consequently, overall toxicity of NMs.

Abstract
Higher intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) deposition in skeletal muscle is commonly observed in patients with obesity, resulting in mitochondrial damage. Palmitic acid, a saturated fatty acid, has been reported to induce obesogenic conditions in C2C12 myotubes. Leucine has been shown to improve obesity-related metabolic signatures; however, evidence for the effect of leucine on IMCL and the underlying mechanisms are still lacking. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of leucine on IMCL deposition and identify the potential mechanisms. Palmitate-treated C2C12 myotubes were used as an in vitro model of obesity. Two doses of leucine were used: 0.5 mM (postprandial physiological plasma concentration) and 1.5 mM (supraphysiological plasma concentration). Rapamycin was used to determine the role of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in leucine's regulation of lipid deposition in C2C12 myotubes. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test was used to calculate differences between treatment groups. Our results demonstrate that leucine reduces IMCL deposition in an mTORC1-independent fashion. Furthermore, leucine acts independently of mTORC1 to upregulate gene expression related to fatty acid metabolism and works through both mTORC1-dependent and mTORC1-independent pathways to regulate mitochondrial biogenesis in palmitate-treated C2C12 myotubes. In agreement with increased mitochondrial biogenesis, increased mitochondrial content, circularity, and decreased autophagy are observed in the presence of 1.5 mM leucine. Taken together, the results indicate leucine reduces IMCL potentially through an mTORC1-independent pathway in palmitate-treated C2C12 myotubes.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is an unavoidable environmental pollutants, which seriously endangers human and animal health. AFB1 has male reproductive toxicity, yet the underlying mechanisms remain inconclusive. Mitochondra are a kind of crucial organelle for maintaining spermatogenesis in testis. Thus, we hypothesized that AFB1 can impair mitochondria to aggravate testicular damage and spermatogenesis disorder. To verify this hypothesis, 48 male mice were intragastrically administered with 0, 0.375, 0.75 or 1.5 mg/kg body weight AFB1 for 30 days, respectively. In this study, we found AFB1 caused testicular histopathological lesions and spermatogenesis abnormalities, with the elevation of oxidative stress (increased H2O2, whereas decreased SOD and GSH). Significant mitochondria structure damage of germ cells and Leydig cells, MMP loss, ATP contents reduction, and inhibited activities of mitochondrial complexes I-IV in mice testis were found in AFB1 treatment groups. Besides, AFB1 inhibited mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial dynamics, presenting as the decreased mRNA and protein expressions of PGC-1α, Nrf1, Tfam, Drp1, Fis1, Mfn1 and Opa1. The results revealed that the mitochondrial damage were involved in AFB1-induced testicular damage and spermatogenesis disorder, providing a considerable direction to clarify potential mechanisms of AFB1 reproductive toxicity.

Abstract
Postoperative delirium (POD) is a common complication following surgery and anesthesia (Surgery/Anesthesia). Mitochondrial dysfunction, which is demonstrated by energy deficits and excessively activated oxidative stress, has been reported to contribute to POD. The dynamic balance between mitochondrial fusion and fission processes is critical in regulating mitochondrial function. However, the impact of Surgery/Anesthesia on mitochondrial fusion/fission dynamics remains unclear. Here, we evaluate the effects of laparotomy under 1.4% isoflurane anesthesia for 2 hours on mitochondrial fission/fusion dynamics in the brain of aged mice. Mice in Surgery/Anesthesia group showed unbalanced fission/fusion dynamics, with decreased DISC1 expression and increased expression of Drp1 and Mfn2 in the mitochondrial fraction, leading to excessive mitochondrial fission and disturbed mitochondrial morphogenesis in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. In addition, surgical mice presented mitochondrial dysfunction, demonstrated by abnormally activated oxidative stress (increased ROS level, decreased SOD level) and energy deficits (decreased levels of ATP and MMP). Surgery/Anesthesia also decreased the expression of neuronal/synaptic plasticity-related proteins such as PSD-95 and BDNF. Furthermore, Surgery/Anesthesia induced delirium-like behavior in aged mice. In conclusion, Surgery/Anesthesia disturbed mitochondrial fission/fusion dynamics and then impaired mitochondrial function in the brain of aged mice; these effects may be involved in the underlying mechanism of POD.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles are nanomaterials that are used extensively in the biomedical field, but they are associated with adverse effects, including mitochondrial toxicity. Mitochondrial homeostasis is achieved through dynamic stability based on two sets of antagonistic balanced processes: mitochondrial biogenesis and degradation as well as mitochondrial fission and fusion. In this study, we showed that PEG-COOH-coated Fe3 O4 (PEG-Fe3 O4 ) nanoparticles induced mitochondrial instability in dendritic cells (DCs) by impairing mitochondrial dynamics due to promotion of mitochondrial biogenesis through activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC1α) pathway, inhibiting mitochondrial degradation via decreased autophagy, and facilitating mitochondrial fragmentation involving increased levels of DRP1 and MFN2. The resulting reduced levels of dextran uptake, CD80, CD86 and chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) suggested that PEG-Fe3 O4 nanoparticles impaired the functionally immature state of DCs. Autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) alleviated PEG-Fe3 O4 nanoparticle-induced mitochondrial instability and impairment of the functionally immature state of DCs due to unexpected enhancement of PGC1α/MFN2-mediated coordination of mitochondrial biogenesis and fusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophage accumulation in the vascular wall is a hallmark of atherosclerosis. Studies showed that shifting of oxidized lipids-induced inflammatory macrophages towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype by promoting oxidative metabolism attenuated atherosclerosis progression. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether metformin, which has ameliorated atherosclerosis in animal models and clinical trials, modulated oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) induced inflammatory status in macrophages by regulating cellular oxidative metabolism. METHODS Murine raw264.7 macrophages were incubated with Ox-LDL (50 μg/mL) in the presence or absence of metformin (15 μmol/L) for 24 h. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to quantify the transcription of classically activated (M1) pro-inflammatory and alternatively activated (M2) anti-inflammatory markers and mitochondrial DNA copy numbers. Cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected by immunofluorescence. Cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, glucose uptake, and lactic acid production were measured by commercial kit and normalized to cellular lysates. Western blotting analysis was performed to detect the expression of mitochondrial fusion/fission related proteins, enzymes mediating lipid metabolism and signaling pathway of glucose transport. Differences between groups were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS Metformin improved Ox-LDL-impaired anti-inflammatory phenotype in raw264.7 macrophages as shown by up-regulated transcription of anti-inflammatory markers including interleukin 10 (0.76 ± 0.04 vs. 0.94 ± 0.01, P = 0.003) and Resistin-like molecule alpha (0.67 ± 0.08 vs. 1.78 ± 0.34, P = 0.030). Conversely, Ox-LDL-diminished phosphorylation of Akt was up-regulated by metformin treatment (0.47 ± 0.05 vs. 1.02 ± 0.08, P = 0.040), associated with an improvement of mitochondrial function, characterized by decreased ROS generation (2.50 ± 0.07 vs. 2.15 ± 0.04, P = 0.040), increased lipid oxidation, and elevated cellular ATP production (0.026 ± 0.001 vs. 0.035 ± 0.003, P = 0.020). Moreover, metformin-mediated Akt activation increased Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) phosphorylation (0.51 ± 0.04 vs. 1.03 ± 0.03, P = 0.0041), promoted membrane translocation of glucose transporter 1, and increased glucose influx into the cells (4.78 ± 0.04 vs. 5.47 ± 0.01, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION This study suggested that targeting macrophage metabolism with new or existing drugs had therapeutic potential for the prevention and treatment of diabetes-accelerated atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Mitochondria are key regulators of cell fate through controlling ATP generation and releasing pro-apoptotic factors. Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury to the coronary microcirculation has manifestations ranging in severity from reversible edema to interstitial hemorrhage. A number of mechanisms have been proposed to explain the cardiac microvascular I/R injury including edema, impaired vasomotion, coronary microembolization, and capillary destruction. In contrast to their role in cell types with higher energy demands, mitochondria in endothelial cells primarily function in signaling cellular responses to environmental cues. It is clear that abnormal mitochondrial signatures, including mitochondrial oxidative stress, mitochondrial fission, mitochondrial fusion, and mitophagy, play a substantial role in endothelial cell function. While the pathogenic role of each of these mitochondrial alterations in the endothelial cells I/R injury remains complex, profiling of mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial dynamics in endothelial cell dysfunction may offer promising potential targets in the search for novel diagnostics and therapeutics in cardiac microvascular I/R injury. The objective of this review is to discuss the role of mitochondrial oxidative stress on cardiac microvascular endothelial cells dysfunction. Mitochondrial dynamics, including mitochondrial fission and fusion, are critically discussed to understand their roles in endothelial cell survival. Finally, mitophagy, as a degradative mechanism for damaged mitochondria, is summarized to figure out its contribution to the progression of microvascular I/R injury.

Abstract
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is upregulated in a high percentage of glioblastomas. While a well-known mTOR inhibitor, rapamycin, has been shown to reduce glioblastoma survival, the role of mitochondria in achieving this therapeutic effect is less well known. Here, we examined mitochondrial dysfunction mechanisms that occur with the suppression of mTOR signaling. We found that, along with increased apoptosis, and a reduction in transformative potential, rapamycin treatment significantly affected mitochondrial health. Specifically, increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and altered mitochondrial dynamics were observed. Furthermore, we verified the therapeutic potential of rapamycin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction through co-treatment with temzolomide (TMZ), the current standard of care for glioblastoma. Together these results demonstrate that the mitochondria remain a promising target for therapeutic intervention against human glioblastoma and that TMZ and rapamycin have a synergistic effect in suppressing glioblastoma viability, enhancing ROS production, and depolarizing MMP.

Abstract
Mitochondrial fission process 1 (MTFP1) is a novel nuclear-encoded protein that promotes mitochondrial fission. Increasing lines of evidence indicate that increased mitochondrial fission is involved in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. However, the expression and biological effects of MTFP1 in cancer development is still unclear, especially in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In this study, we first evaluated the expression of MTFP1 in 12-paired OSCC tumor and peritumor tissues. We then explored the effects of MTFP1 knockdown or overexpression on cell growth by cell proliferation, colony formation, cell cycle, and cell apoptosis assays. Furthermore, the mechanisms by which MTFP1 promoted OSCC cell growth were explored. Our results showed that MTFP1 is frequently overexpressed in OSCC tissues. Functional experiments revealed that MTFP1 promoted the growth of OSCC cells by inducing the progression of cell cycle and suppressing cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, MTFP1 overexpression-mediated mitochondrial fragmentation and subsequent ROS production was found to be involved in the promotion of OSCC cell growth. Collectively, our study demonstrates that MTFP1 plays a critical oncogenic role in OSCC carcinogenesis, which may serve as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of this malignance.

[PMID: 31557571 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2019.109678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2019] [Revised: 08/27/2019] [Accepted: 09/12/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Arsenic and copper are naturally occurring element. Contamination from natural processes and anthropogenic activities can be discovered all over the world and their unique interactions with the environment lead to widespread toxicity. When the content was excessive, the organism would be hurt seriously. The glandular stomach is an important organ of the poultry gastrointestinal tract. This study was aimed to investigate the toxicity of arsenic trioxide or/and copper sulfate (As or/and Cu) on chicken glandular stomach. Seventy-two 1-day-old Hy-Line chickens were randomly divided into control (C) group, arsenic trioxide (As) group, copper sulfate (Cu) group and arsenic trioxide and copper sulfate (AsCu) group, and exposed to 30 mg/kg arsenic trioxide or/and 300 mg/kg copper sulphates for 12 weeks. The indicators of mitochondrial dynamics, apoptosis and autophagy were tested in the glandular stomach. The results showed that exposure to As or/and Cu caused mitochondrial dynamic imbalance. Additionally, the levels of pro-apoptosis and autophagy indicators were increased and the levels of anti-apoptosis indicators were decreased in the treatment groups. Beyond that, in the treatment groups, we could clearly see karyopyknosis and chromatin condensation were associated with increased apoptosis rate, as well as the disappearance of the nuclear membrane, the swelling of mitochondria and the accumulation of autophagosomes were involved in the death of cells. It was worth noting that the glandular stomach lesions were time-dependent, and the combination of As and Cu were worse than the As and Cu alone. Collectively, our results suggest that As or/and Cu aggravate mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis and autophagy in a time-dependent manner, and the combined toxicity of As and Cu was higher.

Abstract
Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is crucial for regulating CNS homeostasis, and its disruption has been implicated in the pathogenesis of some of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. In healthy tissues, the maintenance of MQC depends upon an exquisite balance between mitophagy (removal of damaged mitochondria by autophagy) and biogenesis (de novo synthesis of mitochondria). Here, we show that mitophagy is disrupted in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and decoupled from mitochondrial biogenesis during the progression of the disease. Diabetic retinas from human postmortem donors and experimental mice exhibit a net loss of mitochondrial contents during the early stages of the disease process. Using diabetic mitophagy-reporter mice (mitoQC-Ins2Akita) alongside pMitoTimer (a molecular clock to address mitochondrial age dynamics), we demonstrate that mitochondrial loss arose due to an inability of mitochondrial biogenesis to compensate for diabetes-exacerbated mitophagy. However, as diabetes duration increases, Pink1-dependent mitophagy deteriorates, leading to the build-up of mitochondria primed for degradation in DR. Impairment of mitophagy during prolonged diabetes is linked with the development of retinal senescence, a phenotype that blunted hyperglycemia-induced mitophagy in mitoQC primary Müller cells. Our findings suggest that normalizing mitochondrial turnover may preserve MQC and provide therapeutic options for the management of DR-associated complications. Uncoupled mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis leads to mitochondrial damage in the retina during the progression of diabetes.

Abstract
Cancer-associated bodyweight loss (cachexia) is a hallmark of many cancers and is associated with decreased quality of life and increased mortality. Hepatic function can dramatically influence whole-body energy expenditure and may therefore significantly influence whole-body health during cancer progression. The purpose of this study was to examine alterations in markers of hepatic metabolism and physiology during cachexia progression. Male C57BL/6J mice were injected with 1 × 106 Lewis Lung Carcinoma cells dissolved in 100 μL PBS and cancer was allowed to develop for 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks. Control animals were injected with an equal volume of phosphate-buffered saline. Livers were analyzed for measures of metabolism, collagen deposition, protein turnover, and mitochondrial quality. Animals at 4 weeks had ∼30% larger livers compared with all other groups. Cancer progression was associated with altered regulators of fat metabolism. Additionally, longer duration of cancer development was associated with ∼3-fold increased regulators of collagen deposition as well as phenotypic collagen content, suggesting increased liver fibrosis. Mitochondrial quality control regulators appeared to be altered before any phenotypic alterations to collagen deposition. While induction of Akt was noted, downstream markers of protein synthesis were not altered. In conclusions, cancer cachexia progression is associated with hepatic pathologies, specifically liver fibrosis. Alterations to mitochondrial quality control mechanisms appear to precede this fibrotic phenotype, potentially suggesting mitochondrial mechanisms for the development of hepatic pathologies during the development and progression of cancer cachexia. Novelty Cachexia progression results in liver collagen deposition and fibrosis. Alterations in mitochondrial quality control may precede liver pathologies during cachexia.

Abstract
The distribution of DNA damage and repair is considered to occur heterogeneously across the genome. However, commonly available techniques, such as the alkaline comet assay or HPLC-MS/MS, measure global genome levels of DNA damage, and do not reflect potentially significant events occurring at the gene/sequence-specific level, in the nuclear or mitochondrial genomes. We developed a method, which comprises a combination of Damaged DNA Immunoprecipitation and next generation sequencing (DDIP-seq), to assess the induction and repair of DNA damage induced by 0.1 J/cm2 solar-simulated radiation at the sequence-specific level, across both the entire nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. DDIP-seq generated a genome-wide, high-resolution map of cyclobutane thymine dimer (T<>T) location and intensity. In addition to being a straightforward approach, our results demonstrated a clear differential distribution of T<>T induction and loss, across both the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. For nuclear DNA, this differential distribution existed at both the sequence and chromosome level. Levels of T<>T were much higher in the mitochondrial DNA, compared to nuclear DNA, and decreased with time, confirmed by qPCR, despite no reported mechanisms for their repair in this organelle. These data indicate the existence of regions of sensitivity and resistance to damage formation, together with regions that are fully repaired, and those for which > 90% of damage remains, after 24 h. This approach offers a simple, yet more detailed approach to studying cellular DNA damage and repair, which will aid our understanding of the link between DNA damage and disease.

Abstract
Aims: Severe acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious condition without specific treatment. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of AP. Irisin, a novel exercise-induced hormone, contributes to many health benefits of physical activity. We and others have shown that irisin protects against ischemia reperfusion-induced organ injury by alleviating mitochondrial damage. However, the role of irisin in AP has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of serum irisin levels in patients with AP and the effect of irisin administration in experimental AP. Results: Serum irisin levels were decreased in AP patients, and low serum irisin levels were associated with worse outcomes in these patients. Treatment with exogenous irisin increased survival and mitigated pancreatic injury in experimental AP. The protective effects of irisin in AP were associated with improvement in mitochondrial function and reduction in ER stress. Moreover, irisin upregulated UCP2 expression in the pancreas, and administration of genipin, a specific UCP2 antagonist, abolished irisin's beneficial effects in L-arginine-induced AP. Innovation and Conclusion: Low serum irisin was associated with poor outcomes in AP patients, and irisin administration protected against experimental AP by restoring mitochondrial function via activation of UCP2. Restoration of mitochondrial function by irisin may offer therapeutic potential for patients with AP. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 31, 771-785.

Abstract
Mitochondrial function is crucial for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis under physiological and stress conditions. Thus, chronic exposure to environmental chemicals that affect mitochondrial function can have harmful effects on humans. We argue that the concept of hormesis should be revisited to explain the non-linear responses to mitochondrial toxins at a low-dose range and develop practical methods to protect humans from the negative effects of mitochondrial toxins. Of the most concern to humans are lipophilic chemical mixtures and heavy metals, owing to their physical properties. Even though these chemicals tend to demonstrate no safe level in humans, a non-linear dose-response has been also observed. Stress response activation, i.e., hormesis, can explain this non-linearity. Recently, hormesis has reemerged as a unifying concept because diverse stressors can induce similar stress responses. Besides potentially harmful environmental chemicals, healthy lifestyle interventions such as exercise, calorie restriction (especially glucose), cognitive stimulation, and phytochemical intake also activate stress responses. This conceptual link can lead to the development of practical methods that counterbalance the harm of mitochondrial toxins. Unlike chemical hormesis with its safety issues, the activation of stress responses via lifestyle modification can be safely used to combat the negative effects of mitochondrial toxins.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most malignant and aggressive primary brain tumor, with a mean life expectancy of less than 15 months. The malignant nature of GBM prompts the need for further research on its tumorigenesis and novel treatments to improve its outcome. One of the promising research targets is autophagy, a fundamental metabolic process of degrading and recycling cellular components. Interventions to activate or inhibit autophagy have both been proposed as GBM therapies, suggesting a controversial, context-dependent role of autophagy in GBM tumorigenesis. In this review, we highlight the molecular links between GBM and autophagy with the focus on the effects of autophagy on the stemness maintenance, metabolism and proteostasis in GBM tumorigenesis. Understanding the molecular pathways involved in autophagy target is critical for GBM therapy.

Abstract
Mitophagy plays a key role in cleaning damaged and depolarized mitochondria to maintain cellular homeostasis and viability. Although it was originally found in neurodegenerative diseases, mitophagy is reported to play an important role in acute kidney injury. PINK1 and Parkin are key molecules in mitophagy pathway. Here, we used PINK1 knockout rats to examine the role of PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy in cisplatin nephrotoxicity. After cisplatin treatment, PINK1 knockout rats showed lower plasma creatinine and less tubular damage when compared with wild-type rats. Meanwhile, mitophagy indicated by autophagosome formation and LC3B-II accumulation was also attenuated in PINK1 knockout rats. Renal expression of PINK1 and Parkin were down-regulated while BNIP3L was up-regulated by cisplatin treatment, indicating a major role of BNIP3/BNIP3L pathway in cisplatin-induced mitophagy. Transmission electron microscopy showed that PINK1 deficiency inhibited cisplatin-induced mitochondrial fragmentation indicating an involvement of mitochondrial fusion and fission. Renal expression of mitochondrial dynamics related proteins including Fis1, Drp1, Mfn1, Mfn2, and Opa1 were checked by real-time PCR and western blots. The results showed PINK1 deficiency distinctly prevented cisplatin-induced up-regulation of DRP1. Finally, PINK1 deficiency alleviated cisplatin-induced tubular apoptosis indicated by TUNEL assay as well as the expression of caspase3 and cleaved caspase3. Together, these results suggested PINK1 deficiency ameliorated cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury in rats, possibly via inhibiting DRP1-mediated mitochondrial fission and excessive mitophagy.

What sustains the multidrug resistance phenotype beyond ABC efflux transporters? Looking beyond the tip of the iceberg. Drug Resist Updat 2019; 46:100643.

Abstract
Identification of multidrug (MDR) efflux transporters that belong to the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) superfamily, represented an important breakthrough for understanding cancer multidrug resistance (MDR) and its possible overcoming. However, recent data indicate that drug resistant cells have a complex intracellular physiology that involves constant changes in energetic and oxidative-reductive metabolic pathways, as well as in the molecular circuitries connecting mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes. The aim of this review is to discuss the key molecular mechanisms of cellular reprogramming that induce and maintain MDR, beyond the presence of MDR efflux transporters. We specifically highlight how cancer cells characterized by high metabolic plasticity - i.e. cells able to shift the energy metabolism between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, to survive both the normoxic and hypoxic conditions, to modify the cytosolic and mitochondrial oxidative-reductive metabolism, are more prone to adapt to exogenous stressors such as anti-cancer drugs and acquire a MDR phenotype. Similarly, we discuss how changes in mitochondria dynamics and mitophagy rates, changes in proteome stability ensuring non-oncogenic proteostatic mechanisms, changes in ubiquitin/proteasome- and autophagy/lysosome-related pathways, promote the cellular survival under stress conditions, along with the acquisition or maintenance of MDR. After dissecting the complex intracellular crosstalk that takes place during the development of MDR, we suggest that mapping the specific adaptation pathways underlying cell survival in response to stress and targeting these pathways with potent pharmacologic agents may be a new approach to enhance therapeutic efficacy against MDR tumors.

Early Postnatal Exposure to Paraquat and Maneb in Mice Increases Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Susceptibility to a Re-challenge with the Same Pesticides at Adulthood: Implications for Parkinson's Disease. Neurotox Res 2019; 37:210-226. [PMID: 31422567 DOI: 10.1007/s12640-019-00097-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2019] [Revised: 07/10/2019] [Accepted: 08/06/2019] [Indexed: 02/13/2023]
Abstract
Exposure to environmental contaminants represents an important etiological factor in sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD). It has been reported that PD could arise from events that occur early in development and that lead to delayed adverse consequences in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system at adult life. We investigated the occurrence of late nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurotoxicity induced by exposures to the pesticides paraquat (PQ) and maneb (MB) during the early postnatal period in mice, as well as whether the exposure to pesticides during development could enhance mice vulnerability to subsequent challenges. Male Swiss mice were exposed to a combination of 0.3 mg/kg PQ and 1.0 mg/kg MB (PQ + MB) from postnatal (PN) day 5 to 19. PN exposure to pesticides neither induced mortally nor modified motor-related parameters. However, PN pesticides exposure decreased the number of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)- and dopamine transporter (DAT)-positive neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), as well as reduced TH and DAT immunoreactivity in the striatum. A parallel group of animals developmentally exposed to the pesticides was re-challenged at 3 months of age with 10 mg/kg PQ plus 30 mg/kg MB (twice a week, 6 weeks). Mice exposed to pesticides at both periods (PN + adulthood) presented motor deficits and reductions in the number of TH- and DAT-positive neurons in the SNpc. These findings indicate that the exposure to PQ + MB during the early PN period can cause neurotoxicity in the mouse nigrostriatal dopaminergic system, rendering it more susceptible to a subsequent adult re-challenge with the same pesticides.

Abstract
Mitochondria undergo fission and fusion to maintain homeostasis, and tumors exhibit the dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics. We recently demonstrated that ectopic HRasG12V promotes mitochondrial fragmentation and tumor growth through Erk phosphorylation of the mitochondrial fission GTPase Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1). However, the role of Drp1 in the setting of endogenous oncogenic KRas remains unknown. Here, we show that Drp1 is required for KRas-driven anchorage-independent growth in fibroblasts and patient-derived pancreatic cancer cell lines, and it promotes glycolytic flux, in part through the regulation of hexokinase 2 (HK2). Furthermore, Drp1 deletion imparts a significant survival advantage in a model of KRas-driven pancreatic cancer, and tumors exhibit a strong selective pressure against complete Drp1 deletion. Rare tumors that arise in the absence of Drp1 have restored glycolysis but exhibit defective mitochondrial metabolism. This work demonstrates that Drp1 plays dual roles in KRas-driven tumor growth: supporting both glycolysis and mitochondrial function through independent mechanisms.

Abstract
Mitochondria are key targets of many environmental contaminants, because specific chemicals can interact directly with mitochondrial proteins, lipids, and ribonucleic acids. These direct interactions serve as molecular initiating events that impede adenosine triphosphate production and other critical functions that mitochondria serve within the cell (e.g., calcium and metal homeostasis, apoptosis, immune signaling, redox balance). A limited but growing number of adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) have been proposed to associate mitochondrial dysfunction with effects at organismal and population levels. These pathways involve key events such as altered membrane potential, mitochondrial fission/fusion, and mitochondrial DNA damage, among others. The present critical review and analysis reveals current progress on AOPs involving mitochondrial dysfunction, and, using a network-based computational approach, identifies the localization of mitochondrial molecular initiating events and key events within multiple existing AOPs. We also present 2 case studies, the first examining the interaction between mitochondria and immunotoxicity, and the second examining the role of early mitochondrial dysfunction in the context of behavior (i.e., locomotor activity). We discuss limitations in our current understanding of mitochondrial AOPs and highlight opportunities for clarifying their details. Advancing our knowledge of key event relationships within the AOP framework will require high-throughput datasets that permit the development and testing of chemical-agnostic AOPs, as well as high-resolution research that will enhance the mechanistic testing and validation of these key event relationships. Given the wide range of chemicals that affect mitochondria, and the centrality of energy production and signaling to ecologically important outcomes such as pathogen defense, homeostasis, growth, and reproduction, a better understanding of mitochondrial AOPs is expected to play a significant, if not central, role in environmental toxicology.

Abstract
Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders involving devastating loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Early steps in PD pathogenesis include mitochondrial dysfunction, and mutations in mitochondrial genes have been linked to familial forms of the disease. However, low penetrance of mutations indicates a likely important role for environmental factors in PD risk through gene by environment interactions. Herein, we study how genetic deficiencies in mitochondrial dynamics processes including fission, fusion, and mitophagy interact with environmental exposures to impact neurodegeneration. Methods: We utilized the powerful model organism Caenorhabditis elegans to study ultraviolet C radiation (UVC)- and 6-hydroxydopamine-induced degeneration of fluorescently-tagged dopaminergic neurons in the background of fusion deficiency (MFN1/2 homolog, fzo-1), fission deficiency (DMN1L homolog, drp-1), and mitochondria-specific autophagy (mitophagy) deficiency (PINK1 and PRKN homologs, pink-1 and pdr-1). Results: Overall, we found that deficiency in either mitochondrial fusion or fission sensitizes nematodes to UVC exposure (used to model common environmental pollutants) but protects from 6-hydroxydopamine-induced neurodegeneration. By contrast, mitophagy deficiency makes animals more sensitive to these stressors with an interesting exception—pink-1 deficiency conferred remarkable protection from 6-hydroxydopamine. We found that this protection could not be explained by compensatory antioxidant gene expression in pink-1 mutants or by differences in mitochondrial morphology. Conclusions: Together, our results support a strong role for gene by environment interactions in driving dopaminergic neurodegeneration and suggest that genetic deficiency in mitochondrial processes can have complex effects on neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Selenium is an essential micronutrient but at high concentrations can produce severe cytotoxicity and genomic damage. We have evaluated the cytotoxicity, ultrastructural and mitochondrial alterations of the two main selenium inorganic species; selenite and selenate, in the eukaryotic microorganism Tetrahymena thermophila. In this ciliate, selenite is more toxic than selenate. Their LC50 values were calculated as 27.65 μM for Se(IV) and 56.88 mM for Se(VI). Significant levels of peroxides/hydroperoxides are induced under low-moderate selenite or selenate concentrations. Se(VI) exposures induce an immediate mitochondrial membrane depolarization. Selenium treated cells show an intense vacuolization and some of them present numerous discrete and small electrondense particles, probably selenium deposits. Mitochondrial fusion, an intense swelling in peripheral mitochondria and mitophagy are detected in selenium treated cells, especially in those exposed to Se (IV). qRT-PCR analysis of diverse genes, encoding relevant antioxidant enzymes or other proteins, like metallothioneins, involved in an environmental general stress response, have shown that they may be crucial against Se(IV) and/or Se (VI) cytotoxicity.

Abstract
It is currently believed that aging is closely linked with mitochondrial dysfunction, and that resveratrol exhibits anti-aging and neuroprotective effects by improving mitochondrial function, even though the mechanisms are not well defined. This study explored mitochondrial quality (mitochondrial DNA integrity and copy number), mitochondrial function (fusion/fission, mitophagy/autophagy), antioxidant system and activity of the Akt/mTOR and Ampk/Sirt1/Pgc1α pathways, and inflammation in aging zebrafish retinas to identify the probable mechanisms of resveratrol's anti-aging and neuroprotective effects. mtDNA integrity, mtDNA copy number, mitochondrial fusion regulators, mitophagy, and antioxidant-related genes were all decreased whereas Akt/mTOR activity and inflammation was increased upon aging in zebrafish retinas. Resveratrol was shown to not only increase mitochondrial quality and function, but also to suppress Akt/mTOR activity in zebrafish retinas. These results support the notion that mitochondrial dysfunction and increased Akt/mTOR activity are major players in age-related retinal neuropathy in zebrafish, and demonstrate a trend towards mitochondrial fragmentation in the aging retina. Importantly, resveratrol promoted mitochondrial function, up-regulating Ampk/Sirt1/Pgc1α, and down-regulated Akt/mTOR pathway activity in zebrafish retinas, suggesting that it may be able to prevent age-related oculopathy.

Abstract
Spongiform encephalopathy is an intriguing yet poorly understood neuropathology characterized by vacuoles, demyelination, and gliosis. It is observed in patients with prion disease, primary mitochondrial disease, HIV-1 infection of the brain, and some inherited disorders, but the underlying mechanism of disease remains unclear. The brains of mice lacking the MGRN1 E3 ubiquitin ligase develop vacuoles by 9 months of age. MGRN1-dependent ubiquitination has been reported to regulate mitofusin 1 and GP78, suggesting MGRN1 may have a direct effect on mitochondrial homeostasis. Here, we demonstrate that some MGRN1 localizes to mitochondria, most likely due to N-myristoylation, and mitochondria in cells from Mgrn1 null mutant mice display fragmentation and depolarization without recruitment of the parkin E3 ubiquitin ligase. The late onset of pathology in the brains of Mgrn1 null mutant mice suggests that a further, age-dependent effect on mitochondrial homeostasis may be required to trigger vacuolation. Parkin protein and mRNA levels showed a significant decline in the brains of Mgrn1 null mutant mice by 12 months of age. To test whether loss of parkin triggers vacuolation through a synergistic effect, we generated Mgrn1; parkin double mutant mice. By 1 month of age, their brains demonstrated more severe mitochondrial dysfunction than Mgrn1 null mutants, but there was no effect on the age-of-onset of spongiform neurodegeneration. Expression of the ATF4 transcription factor, a key regulator of the mitochondrial stress response, also declined in the brains of aged Mgrn1 null mutant mice. Together, the data presented here indicate that loss of MGRN1 has early, direct effects on mitochondrial homeostasis and late, indirect effects on the ability of cells to respond to mitochondrial stress.

Abstract
Mitochondria are dynamically regulated by fission and fusion processes. Silibinin induces apoptosis of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. However, whether or not mitochondria dysfunction is involved in the apoptosis induction with silibinin of both types of the cells remains unknown. We here report that silibinin decreases the mitochondrial mass in terms of MitoTracker Green staining in both breast cancer cells. Silibinin induces morphological changes of mitochondria from oval to truncated or fragmented shapes accordingly. Condensed crests are observed in mitochondria by transmission electron microscopy. Silibinin causes mitochondrial membrane potential reduced. The expression of mitochondrial fission-associated proteins including dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) is up-regulated, whereas expression of the mitochondrial fusion-associated proteins, optic atrophy 1 and mitofusin 1, is down-regulated. In addition, silibinin treatment down-regulates ATP content as well as the levels of mitochondrial biogenesis-regulators including mitochondrial transcription factor A, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 and nuclear respiratory factor 2. Moreover, treatments with DRP1 inhibitor, mdivi-1, or with DRP1-targetted siRNA efficiently prevent silibinin-induced apoptosis in the breast cancer cells, whereas inhibition of DRP1 phosphorylation with staurosporine increases apoptosis furthermore. Taken together, we conclude that silibinin impairs mitochondrial dynamics and biogenesis, leading to apoptosis of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-123 cells.

Abstract
Prenatal alcohol exposure results in an array of developmental abnormalities known as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). Despite the high prevalence of FASDs, therapeutic interventions against accidental or intended exposure of developing fetuses to alcohol are limited. This review outlines current knowledge about mitochondria in cerebral blood vessels as a potential target for anti-FASDs intervention. First, it describes the multifaceted role of mitochondria in maintaining the cerebral artery diameter as shown in adult tissue. Second, current literature on alcohol-driven damage of mitochondrial morphology and function in several fetal tissues, including liver, heart, and brain is summarized. The functional consequences of alcohol exposure in these organs include morphological enlargement of mitochondria, increased oxidative stress, and alteration of cellular respiration. These studies point to a tissue-specific effect of alcohol on mitochondrial function and a particular vulnerability of fetal mitochondria to alcohol exposure when compared to adult counterparts. Third, recent work from our group describing persistent changes in fetal baboon cerebral artery proteome following three episodes of prenatal alcohol exposure is reviewed. In conclusion, the consequences of prenatal alcohol exposure on cerebral artery mitochondria constitute an open field of investigation and, eventually, a point of therapeutic intervention against FASDs.

Abstract
Mitochondria are essential dynamic organelles that ordinarily balance between fragmentation and fusion. Under stress conditions, a shift toward fragmentation or hyper-fusion is observed as a pro-survival reaction. Fragmentation of mitochondria occurs within minutes or hours after the beginning of the stress and occurs in response to a large number of stress stimuli, including those triggered by environmental contaminants. In this study, we tested whether the change in the mitochondrial phenotype, from tubular to fragmented, could be used as a potential environmental stress biomarker in cells and compared this response with the standard MTT-based viability assay. Firstly, we show that mitochondrial fragmentation induced by selected stressors not only increases with concentrations, but also correlates positively with the cytotoxicity. Secondly, we found that the mitochondrial fragmentation that occurs in the first hour of stress correlated with the viability measured after a 24-h stress, allowing the establishment of a linear relation between mitochondrial fragmentation at 1 h and the predictable associated cytotoxicity of environmental contaminants alone or in mixture. In conclusion, we have succeeded in developing a model of predictable 24 h-cytotoxicity given mitochondrial fragmentation at 1 h with a set of chemicals. This model has been successful applied to three environmental toxicants and to a set of two chemical mixtures. We thus propose that mitochondrial fragmentation is a response that could be used as an early in vitro biomarker of environmental stress for toxicants alone or in mixture.

Porcine Parvovirus Infection Causes Pig Placenta Tissue Damage Involving Nonstructural Protein 1 (NS1)-Induced Intrinsic ROS/Mitochondria-Mediated Apoptosis. Viruses 2019; 11:v11040389.

Abstract
Porcine parvovirus (PPV) is an important pathogen causing reproductive failure in pigs. PPV-induced cell apoptosis has been recently identified as being involved in PPV-induced placental tissue damages resulting in reproductive failure. However, the molecular mechanism was not fully elucidated. Here we demonstrate that PPV nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) can induce host cell apoptosis and death, thereby indicating the NS1 may play a crucial role in PPV-induced placental tissue damages and reproductive failure. We have found that NS1-induced apoptosis was significantly inhibited by caspase 9 inhibitor, but not caspase 8 inhibitor, and transfection of NS1 gene into PK-15 cells significantly inhibited mitochondria-associated antiapoptotic molecules Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 expressions and enhanced proapoptotic molecules Bax, P21, and P53 expressions, suggesting that NS1-induced apoptosis is mainly through the mitochondria-mediated intrinsic apoptosis pathway. We also found that both PPV infection and NS1 vector transfection could cause host DNA damage resulting in cell cycle arrest at the G1 and G2 phases, trigger mitochondrial ROS accumulation resulting in mitochondria damage, and therefore, induce the host cell apoptosis. This study provides a molecular basis for elucidating PPV-induced cell apoptosis and reproductive failure.

Abstract
As an irreversible and perennial process, aging is accompanied by functional and morphological declines in organs. Generally, aging liver exhibits a decline in volume and hepatic blood flow. Even with a preeminent regenerative capacity to restore its functions after liver cell loss, its biosynthesis and metabolism abilities decline, and these are difficult to restore to previous standards. Apoptosis is a programmed death process via intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, in which Bcl-2 family proteins and apoptosis-related genes, such as p21 and p53, are involved. Apoptosis inflicts both favorable and adverse influences on liver aging. Apoptosis eliminates transformed abnormal cells but promotes age-related liver diseases, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. We summarize the roles of apoptosis in liver aging and age-related liver diseases.

Abstract
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a common natural contaminant found in human and animal food worldwide. Our previous work has shown that OTA can cause oxidative DNA damage, G2 arrest and malignant transformation of human gastric epithelium (GES-1) cells. Mitochondria are considered to be target for the action of many cytotoxic agents. However, the role of mitochondria in the cytotoxicity of OTA remains unknown. The aim of this study is to explore the putative role of mitochondria on OTA cytotoxicity by analyzing mitochondrial changes in GES-1 cells. The results showed that OTA treatment (5, 10, 20 µM) for different times caused increases in the production of reactive oxygen species, and induced mitochondrial damage, shown by loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨM), and decrease in cellular ATP concentration. Subsequently, the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway was activated, presented by increase of apoptotic rate and activation of apoptotic proteins. Autophagic cell death was also triggered, demonstrated by the conversion of light chain 3B (LC3B)-I to LC3B-II and elevated levels of green fluorescent protein-LC3 (GFP-LC3) puncta. Moreover, Parkin-dependent mitophagy was also activated presented by the colocalization of MitoTracker with LysoTracker or GFP-LC3 puncta. The inhibition of autophagy and mitophagy by inhibitors or siRNA attenuated the toxic effect of OTA on cell growth. Interestingly, OTA treatment also enhanced mitochondrial biogenesis confirmed by activation of AMPK/PGC-1α/TFAM pathway and promoted cell survival. Collectively, the effects of OTA on mitochondria of GES-1 cells are complex. OTA could cause mitochondrial function disturbance, apoptotic and autophagic cell death and also induce mitochondrial biogenesis.

Abstract
Hypothermia is currently the only approved therapy for global cerebral ischemia (GCI) after cardiac arrest; however, it unfortunately has multiple adverse effects. As a noninvasive procedure, photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy has emerged as a potential novel treatment for brain injury. PBM involves the use of low-level laser light therapy to influence cell behavior. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic effects of PBM treatment with an 808-nm diode laser initiated 6 h after GCI. It was noted that PBM dose-dependently protected against GCI-induced neuronal death in the vulnerable hippocampal CA1 subregion. Functional assessments demonstrated that PBM markedly preserved both short-term (a week) and long-term (6 months) spatial learning and memory function following GCI. Further mechanistic studies revealed that PBM post-treatment (a) preserved healthy mitochondrial dynamics and suppressed substantial mitochondrial fragmentation of CA1 neurons, by reducing the detrimental Drp1 GTPase activity and its interactions with adaptor proteins Mff and Fis1 and by balancing mitochondrial targeting fission and fusion protein levels; (b) reduced mitochondrial oxidative damage and excessive mitophagy and restored mitochondrial overall health status and preserved mitochondrial function; and (c) suppressed mitochondria-dependent apoptosome formation/caspase-3/9 apoptosis-processing activities. Additionally, we validated, in an in vitro ischemia model, that cytochrome c oxidase served as a key PBM target for mitochondrial function preservation and neuroprotection. Our findings suggest that PBM serves as a promising therapeutic strategy for the functional recovery after GCI, with mechanisms involving PBM's preservation on mitochondrial dynamics and functions and the inhibition of delayed apoptotic neuronal death in GCI.

Abstract
Exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Mitochondrion is key to brain degeneration. However, the underlying mechanism of PM2.5-induced brain injury, especially mitochondrial damage, is still unclear. In this study, changes in mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and oxidative stress in human SH-SY5Y cells exposed to PM2.5 at different concentrations (0, 25, 100, and 250 μg mL-1) were investigated. The results showed that PM2.5 caused more mitochondrial swell, accompanied by the opening of mPTP and the decrease of ATP levels, mitochondrial membrane potential and mtDNA copy number in SH-SY5Y cells. PM2.5 significantly enhanced the expression of mitochondrial fission/fusion genes (Drp1 and OPA1) and affected the gene expression of CypD, SIRT3, and COX Ⅳ in SH-SY5Y cells. Besides, PM2.5 triggered the increase of cellular ROS, Ca2+ and Aβ-42 levels, inhibition of manganese-superoxide dismutase (SOD2) activities, reduction of GSH levels GSH/GSSG ratio, and elevation of mitochondrial malondialdehyde contents. It suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are the potential mechanisms underlying PM2.5-induced brain nerve cell injury, which may be related to neurological diseases. Additionally, our study elucidated that PM2.5 components trigger different cytotoxicity.

Predictors of mitochondrial DNA copy number and damage in a mercury-exposed rural Peruvian population near artisanal and small-scale gold mining: An exploratory study.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number (CN) and damage in circulating white blood cells have been proposed as effect biomarkers for pollutant exposures. Studies have shown that mercury accumulates in mitochondria and affects mitochondrial function and integrity; however, these data are derived largely from experiments in model systems, rather than human population studies that evaluate the potential utility of mitochondrial exposure biomarkers. We measured mtDNA CN and damage in white blood cells (WBCs) from 83 residents of nine communities in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon that vary in proximity to artisanal and small-scale gold mining. Prior research from this region reported high levels of mercury in fish and a significant association between food consumption and human total hair mercury level of residents. We observed that mtDNA CN and damage were both associated with consumption of fruit and vegetables, higher diversity of fruit consumed, residential location, and health characteristics, suggesting common environmental drivers. Surprisingly, we observed negative associations of mtDNA damage with both obesity and age. We did not observe any association between total hair mercury or, in contrast to previous results, age, with either mtDNA damage or CN. The results of this exploratory study highlight the importance of combining epidemiological and laboratory research in studying the effects of stressors on mitochondria, suggesting that future work should incorporate nutritional and social characteristics, and caution should be taken when applying conclusions from epidemiological studies conducted in the developed world to other regions, as results may not be easily translated.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the double membrane organelles providing most of the energy for cells. In addition, mitochondria also play essential roles in various cellular biological processes such as calcium signaling, apoptosis, ROS generation, cell growth, and cell cycle. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed in various neurological disorders which harbor acute and chronic neural injury such as neurodegenerative diseases and ischemia, hypoxia-induced brain injury. In this review, we describe how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of neurological disorders which manifest chronic or acute neural injury.

Abstract
Landfill leachate, a complex mixture of different solid waste compounds, is widely known to possess toxic properties. However, the fundamental molecular mechanisms engaged with landfill leachate exposure inducing cellular and sub-cellular ramifications are not well explicated. Therefore, we aim to examine the potential of leachate to impair mitochondrial machinery and its associated mechanisms in human peripheral blood lymphocytes. On assessment, the significant increase in the dichlorofluorescein (DCF) fluorescence, accumulation of 8-Oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG), and levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) strongly indicated the ability of the leachate to induce a pro-oxidant state inside the cell. The decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential and alterations in the mitochondrial genome observed in leachate-exposed cells further suggested the disturbances in mitochondrial machinery. Moreover, these mitochondrial-associated redox imbalances were accompanied by the increased level of NF-κβ, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and DNA damage. In addition, the higher DNA fragmentation, release of nucleosomes, levels of polyadenosine diphosphate ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP), and activity of caspase-3 suggested the involvement of mitochondrial mediated apoptosis in leachate exposed cells. These observations were accompanied by the low proliferative index of the exposed cells. Conclusively, our results clearly indicate the ability of landfill leachate to disturb mitochondrial redox homeostasis, which might be a probable source for the immunotoxic consequences leading to plausible patho-physiological conditions in humans susceptible to such environmental exposures.
