Cardiac-derived extracellular vesicles improve mitochondrial function to protect the heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury by delivering ATP5a1. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:385.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous studies have confirmed the involvement of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in various physiological processes, including cellular death and tissue damage. Recently, we reported that EVs derived from ischemia-reperfusion heart exacerbate cardiac injury. However, the role of EVs from healthy heart tissue (heart-derived EVs, or cEVs) on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury remains unclear. RESULTS Here, we demonstrated that intramyocardial administration of cEVs significantly enhanced cardiac function and reduced cardiac damage in murine MI/R injury models. cEVs treatment effectively inhibited ferroptosis and maintained mitochondrial homeostasis in cardiomyocytes subjected to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Further results revealed that cEVs can transfer ATP5a1 into cardiomyocytes, thereby suppressing mitochondrial ROS production, alleviating mitochondrial damage, and inhibiting cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. Knockdown of ATP5a1 abolished the protective effects of cEVs. Furthermore, we found that the majority of cEVs are derived from cardiomyocytes, and ATP5a1 in cEVs primarily originates from cardiomyocytes of the healthy murine heart. Moreover, we demonstrated that adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC)-derived EVs with ATP5a1 overexpression showed much better efficacy on the therapy of MI/R injury compared to control ADSC-derived EVs. CONCLUSIONS These findings emphasized the protective role of cEVs in cardiac injury and highlighted the therapeutic potential of targeting ATP5a1 as an important approach for managing myocardial damage induced by MI/R injury.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a prevalent chronic disease in the 21st century due to increased lifespan and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Extensive research indicates that exercise can play a significant role in regulating systemic metabolism by improving energy metabolism and mitigating various metabolic disorders, including DM. Irisin, a well-known exerkine, was initially reported to enhance energy expenditure by indicating the browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) through peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) signaling. In this review, we summarize the potential mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of Irisin on glucose dysmetabolism, including reducing gluconeogenesis, enhancing insulin energy expenditure, and promoting glycogenesis. Additionally, we highlight Irisin's potential to improve diabetic vascular diseases by stimulating nitric oxide (NO) production, reducing oxidative and nitrosative stress, curbing inflammation, and attenuating endothelial cell aging. Furthermore, we discuss the potential of Irisin to improve diabetic cardiomyopathy by preventing cardiomyocyte loss and reducing myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis. Given Irisin's promising functions in managing diabetic cardiomyopathy and vascular diseases, targeting Irisin for therapeutic purposes could be a fruitful avenue for future research and clinical interventions.

Abstract
Irisin is a myokine secreted under the influence of physical activity and exposure to low temperatures and through different exogenous stimuli by the cleavage of its precursor, fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5). It is mainly known for maintaining of metabolic homeostasis, promoting the browning of white adipose tissue, the thermogenesis process, and glucose homeostasis. Growing experimental evidence suggests the possible central role of irisin in the regulation of cardiometabolic pathophysiological processes. On the other side, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is well recognized as a pleiotropic gasotransmitter that regulates several homeostatic balances and physiological functions and takes part in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases. Through the S-persulfidation of cysteine protein residues, H2S is capable of interacting with crucial signaling pathways, exerting beneficial effects in regulating glucose and lipid homeostasis as well. H2S and irisin seem to be intertwined; indeed, recently, H2S was found to regulate irisin secretion by activating the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α)/FNDC5/irisin signaling pathway, and they share several mechanisms of action. Their involvement in metabolic diseases is confirmed by the detection of their lower circulating levels in obese and diabetic subjects. Along with the importance of metabolic disorders, these modulators exert favorable effects against cardiovascular diseases, preventing incidents of hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and ischemia-reperfusion injury. This review, for the first time, aims to explore the role of H2S and irisin and their possible crosstalk in cardiovascular diseases, pointing out the main effects exerted through the common molecular pathways involved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ferroptosis is known to play a crucial role in diabetic osteopathy. However, key genes and molecular mechanisms remain largely unclear. This study aimed to identify a crucial ferroptosis-related differentially expressed gene (FR-DEG) in diabetic osteopathy and investigate its potential mechanism. METHODS We identified fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5)/irisin as an essential FR-DEG in diabetic osteopathy using the Ferroptosis Database (FerrDb) and GSE189112 dataset. Initially, a diabetic mouse model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ), followed by intraperitoneal injection of irisin. MC3T3-E1 cells treated with high glucose (HG) were used as an in vitro model. FNDC5 overexpression plasmid was used to explore underlying mechanisms in vitro experiments. Femurs were collected for micro-CT scan, histomorphometry, and immunohistochemical analysis. Peripheral serum was collected for ELISA analysis. Cell viability was assessed using a CCK-8 kit. The levels of glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), iron, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lipid ROS were detected by the corresponding kits. Mitochondria ultrastructure was observed through transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Finally, mRNA and protein expressions were examined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot analysis. RESULTS The expression of FNDC5 was found to be significantly decreased in both in vivo and in vitro models. Treatment with irisin significantly suppressed ferroptosis and improved bone loss. This was demonstrated by reduced lipid peroxidation and iron overload, increased antioxidant capability, as well as the inhibition of the ferroptosis pathway in bone tissues. Furthermore, in vitro studies demonstrated that FNDC5 overexpression significantly improved HG-induced ferroptosis and promoted osteogenesis. Mechanistic investigations revealed that FNDC5 overexpression mitigated ferroptosis in osteoblasts by inhibiting the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α)/activated transcription factor 4 (ATF4)/C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) pathway. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our study uncovered the important role of FNDC5/irisin in regulating ferroptosis of diabetic osteopathy, which might be a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), caused by the initial interruption and subsequent restoration of coronary artery blood, results in further damage to cardiac function, affecting the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent, superoxide-driven, non-apoptotic form of regulated cell death that is involved in the pathogenesis of MIRI. Ferroptosis is characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides (LOOH) and redox disequilibrium. Free iron ions can induce lipid oxidative stress as a substrate of the Fenton reaction and lipoxygenase (LOX) and participate in the inactivation of a variety of lipid antioxidants including CoQ10 and GPX4, destroying the redox balance and causing cell death. The metabolism of amino acid, iron, and lipids, including associated pathways, is considered as a specific hallmark of ferroptosis. This review systematically summarizes the latest research progress on the mechanisms of ferroptosis and discusses and analyzes the therapeutic approaches targeting ferroptosis to alleviate MIRI.

Abstract
Glucosinolates (GLS) in cruciferous vegetables are anti-nutritional factors. Excessive or long-term intake of GLS-containing feed is harmful to animal health and may cause kidney damage. Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) is a GLS. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of PEITC on a porcine kidney (PK-15) cell line and explored the mechanism of PEITC-induced apoptosis. We found that PEITC could affect cell viability and induce cell apoptosis after incubating cells for 24 h. High concentrations of PEITC can induce intracellular ROS accumulation, resulting in impaired mitochondrial function (decreased MMP, decreased ATP) and DNA damage (increased 8-OHdG), cytochrome c in mitochondria is released into the cytoplasm and activates mitochondrial pathway apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2 family and caspase-9, -3). Meanwhile, PEITC could induce intracellular Ca2+ accumulation, disrupt ER homeostasis, and activate the expression levels of three ER-resident transmembrane proteins orchestrating the UPR (PERK, IRE-1α and ATF6) and ER-related proteins (GRP78 and CHOP), thereby activating ERS-pathway apoptosis-related proteins (caspase-12, -7). Our results showed that low concentration (2.5 μM) of PEITC had no damaging effect on cells. In comparison, a high concentration (10 μM) of PEITC could induce cell damage in porcine kidney cells and induce apoptosis in PK-15 cells via the Mitochondrial ROS-associated ERS pathway.

Ferroptosis, a Regulated Form of Cell Death, as a Target for the Development of Novel Drugs Preventing Ischemia/Reperfusion of Cardiac Injury, Cardiomyopathy and Stress-Induced Cardiac Injury. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:897.

Abstract
The hospital mortality in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is about 6% and has not decreased in recent years. The leading cause of death of these patients is ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) cardiac injury. It is quite obvious that there is an urgent need to create new drugs for the treatment of STEMI based on knowledge about the pathogenesis of I/R cardiac injury, in particular, based on knowledge about the molecular mechanism of ferroptosis. In this study, it was demonstrated that ferroptosis is involved in the development of I/R cardiac injury, antitumor drug-induced cardiomyopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, septic cardiomyopathy, and inflammation. There is indirect evidence that ferroptosis participates in stress-induced cardiac injury. The activation of AMPK, PKC, ERK1/2, PI3K, and Akt prevents myocardial ferroptosis. The inhibition of HO-1 alleviates myocardial ferroptosis. The roles of GSK-3β and NOS in the regulation of ferroptosis require further study. The stimulation of Nrf2, STAT3 prevents ferroptosis. The activation of TLR4 and NF-κB promotes ferroptosis of cardiomyocytes. MiR-450b-5p and miR-210-3p can increase the tolerance of cardiomyocytes to hypoxia/reoxygenation through the inhibition of ferroptosis. Circ_0091761 RNA, miR-214-3p, miR-199a-5p, miR-208a/b, miR-375-3p, miR-26b-5p and miR-15a-5p can aggravate myocardial ferroptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common pulmonary injury among premature infants, which is often caused by hyperoxia exposure. Irisin is a novel hormone-like myokine derived mainly from skeletal muscles as well as adipose tissues. Many studies have indicated that Irisin exert a variety of properties against hyperoxia-induced inflammation and oxidative stress (OS). We aimed to evaluate the effects of irisin on hyperoxia-induced lung injury explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS BPD model was established after exposing newborn mouse to 85% oxygen. BPD mouse received continuous intraperitoneal injection of irisin at a dose of 25 μg/kg/day. Lung tissues were collected for histological examination at 7 and 14 days after birth. The alveolarization and alveolar vascularization of each animal was assessed. Levels of oxidative stress indicators, and the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in lung tissues were detected at 14 days after birth. RESULTS Hyperoxia exposure induced a markedly alveolar simplification and a disrupted alveolar angiogenesis, which was ameliorated by irisin treatment. The hyperoxia-induced increase in these oxidative stress indicators was significantly reversed by irisin treatment. The Nrf2/HO-1 pathway is inducted in the hyperoxia-induced BPD mouse model, which is further activated by irisin treatment. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated the beneficial effects of irisin in reducing the OS, enhancing alveolarization, and promoting vascular development through activation of Nrf2/HO-1 axis in a hyperoxia-induced experimental model of BPD.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, a regulated form of cellular death characterized by the iron-mediated accumulation of lipid peroxides, provides a novel avenue for delving into the intersection of cellular metabolism, oxidative stress, and disease pathology. We have witnessed a mounting fascination with ferroptosis, attributed to its pivotal roles across diverse physiological and pathological conditions including developmental processes, metabolic dynamics, oncogenic pathways, neurodegenerative cascades, and traumatic tissue injuries. By unraveling the intricate underpinnings of the molecular machinery, pivotal contributors, intricate signaling conduits, and regulatory networks governing ferroptosis, researchers aim to bridge the gap between the intricacies of this unique mode of cellular death and its multifaceted implications for health and disease. In light of the rapidly advancing landscape of ferroptosis research, we present a comprehensive review aiming at the extensive implications of ferroptosis in the origins and progress of human diseases. This review concludes with a careful analysis of potential treatment approaches carefully designed to either inhibit or promote ferroptosis. Additionally, we have succinctly summarized the potential therapeutic targets and compounds that hold promise in targeting ferroptosis within various diseases. This pivotal facet underscores the burgeoning possibilities for manipulating ferroptosis as a therapeutic strategy. In summary, this review enriched the insights of both investigators and practitioners, while fostering an elevated comprehension of ferroptosis and its latent translational utilities. By revealing the basic processes and investigating treatment possibilities, this review provides a crucial resource for scientists and medical practitioners, aiding in a deep understanding of ferroptosis and its effects in various disease situations.

[PMID: 37392951 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2023.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 06/17/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023]
Abstract
Trastuzumab (TRZ) is a first-line chemotherapeutic agent for HER-2 (ErbB2)-positive breast cancer. Unfortunately, its clinical use is limited due to its cardiotoxicity, referred to as TRZ-induced cardiotoxicity (TIC). However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying the development of TIC remain unclear. Iron and lipid metabolism and redox reactions participate in the development of ferroptosis. Here, we show that ferroptosis-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in TIC in vivo and in vitro. We first established TIC models with BALB/c mice or neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and confirmed cardiomyopathy with echocardiography and inhibition of cell viability with a cell counting kit-8 examination, respectively. We showed that TRZ downregulated glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) and elevated lipid peroxidation by-products, 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) and malondialdehyde (MDA), by inactivating the ErbB2/PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 signalling pathway. Additionally, upregulated mitochondrial 4-HNE binds to voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), increases VDAC1 oligomerization, and subsequently induces mitochondrial dysfunction, as evidenced by mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and ATP levels. Concomitantly, TRZ affected the mitochondrial levels of GSH/GSSG and iron ions and the stability of mitoGPx4. Ferroptosis inhibitors, such as ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) or the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO), ameliorate TRZ-induced cardiomyopathy. Overexpression of mitoGPx4 also suppressed mitochondrial lipid peroxidation and prevented TRZ-induced ferroptosis. Our study strongly suggests that targeting ferroptosis-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction is a potential cardioprotective strategy.

[PMID: 37087800 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2023.04.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023]
Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) contributes to an increased risk of incident heart failure and sudden death, but there is still a lack of effective treatment in clinic. Recently, growing evidence has indicated that abnormal expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. In this research, the involvement of miRNA-214-3p in MI was explored. A mouse model of MI was established by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery, and primary cultures of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) were submitted to hypoxic treatment to stimulate cellular injury in vitro. Our results showed that miR-214-3p level was significantly upregulated in the infarcted region of mouse hearts and in NRCMs exposed to hypoxia, accompanying with an obvious elevation of ferroptosis. Inhibition of miR-214-3p by antagomir injection improved cardiac function, decreased infarct size, and attenuated iron accumulation and oxidant stress in myocardial tissues. MiR-214-3p could also promote ferroptosis and cellular impairments in NRCMs, while miR-214-3p inhibitor effectively protected cells from hypoxia. Furthermore, dual luciferase reporter gene assay revealed that malic enzyme 2 (ME2) is a direct target of miR-214-3p. In cardiomyocytes, overexpression of ME2 ameliorated the detrimental effects and excessive ferroptosis induced by miR-214-3p mimic, whereas ME2 depletion compromised the protective role of miR-214-3p inhibitor against hypoxic injury and ferroptosis. These findings suggest that miR-214-3p contributes to enhanced ferroptosis during MI at least partially via suppressing ME2. Inhibition of miR-214-3p may be a new approach for tackling MI.

Abstract
Drug-induced organ injury is one of the key factors causing organ failure and death in the global public. Triptolide (TP) is the main immunosuppressive component of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f. (Leigongteng, LGT) for the first-line management of autoimmune conditions, but it can cause serious multi-organ injury. Lysimachia christinae (Jinqiancao, JQC) is a detoxifying Chinese medicine and could suppress LGT's toxicity. It contains many immune enhancement and organ protection components including chlorogenic acid (CA), rutin (Rut), and quercetin (Que). This study aimed to explore the protection of combined treatments of these organ-protective ingredients of JQC on TP-induced liver, kidney, and heart injury and initially explore the mechanisms. Molecular docking showed that CA, Rut, and Que. bound AKT/mTOR pathway-related molecules intimately and might competitively antagonize TP. Corresponding in vivo results showed that the combination activated TP-inhibited protein of AKT/mTOR pathway, and reversed TP-induced excessive ferroptosis (excessive Fe 2+ and lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde accumulation, decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione-s transferase, reduced glutathione, and superoxide dismutase, and down-regulated P62/nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 pathway), and apoptosis (activated apoptotic factor Fas and Bax and inhibited Bcl-2) in the organ of mice to varying degrees. In conclusion, the combined treatments of CA, Rut, and Que. from JQC inhibited TP-induced multi-organ injury in vivo, and the mechanism may largely involve immunomodulation and activation of the AKT/mTOR pathway-mediated cell death reduction including ferroptosis and apoptosis inhibition.

Abstract
Adaptive neuroplasticity is a pivotal mechanism for healthy brain development and maintenance, as well as its restoration in disease- and age-associated decline. Management of mental disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) needs interventions stimulating adaptive neuroplasticity, beyond conventional psychopharmacological treatments. Physical exercises are proposed for the management of ADHD, and also depression and aging because of evoked brain neuroplasticity. Recent progress in understanding the mechanisms of muscle-brain cross-talk pinpoints the role of the myokine irisin in the mediation of pro-cognitive and antidepressant activity of physical exercises. In this review, we discuss how irisin, which is released in the periphery as well as derived from brain cells, may interact with the mechanisms of cellular autophagy to provide protein recycling and regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling via glia-mediated control of BDNF maturation, and, therefore, support neuroplasticity. We propose that the neuroplasticity associated with physical exercises is mediated in part by irisin-triggered autophagy. Since the recent findings give objectives to consider autophagy-stimulating intervention as a prerequisite for successful therapy of psychiatric disorders, irisin appears as a prototypic molecule that can activate autophagy with therapeutic goals.

Abstract
Primary sarcopenia is a multicausal skeletal muscle disease associated with muscle strength and mass loss. Skeletal muscle fibrosis is one of the significant pathological manifestations associated with the development of age-related sarcopenia. Irisin, which is cleaved by the extracellular domain of fibronectin type Ⅲ domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5), has previously been reported to exert antifibrotic effects on the heart, liver, and pancreas, but whether it can rescue skeletal muscle fibrosis remains unknown. In this study, we examined the effects of irisin on D-galactose (D-gal)-induced skeletal muscle fibroblasts. We found that D-gal-induced senescence, fibrosis, and redox imbalance were inhibited by irisin treatment. Mechanistically, irisin or FNDC5 overexpression attenuated D-gal-induced senescence, redox imbalance, and fibrosis by regulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway. Overall, irisin might be a promising therapeutic candidate for age-related skeletal muscle fibrosis.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to reveal the resistance mechanism of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells to sorafenib by exploring the effect of FNDC5 on sorafenib-induced ferroptosis in HCC cells. We compared the expression level of FNDC5 between sorafenib-resistant and sorafenib-sensitive HCC cell lines and the level of ferroptosis between the groups after treatment with sorafenib. We knocked down FNDC5 in drug-resistant cell lines and overexpressed it in sorafenib-sensitive HCC cell lines to further demonstrate the role of FNDC5 in sorafenib-induced ferroptosis. Using PI3K inhibitors, we revealed the specific mechanism by which FNDC5 functions. In addition, we verified our findings obtained in in vitro experiments using a subcutaneous tumorigenic nude mouse model. The findings revealed that FNDC5 inhibits sorafenib-induced ferroptosis in HCC cells. In addition, FNDC5 activated the PI3K/Akt pathway, which in turn promoted the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and increased the intracellular antioxidant response, thereby conferring resistance to ferroptosis. Our study provides novel insights for improving the efficacy of sorafenib.
