Abstract
Cellular homeostasis is intricately influenced by stimuli from the microenvironment, including signaling molecules, metabolites, and pathogens. Functioning as a signaling hub within the cell, mitochondria integrate information from various intracellular compartments to regulate cellular signaling and metabolism. Multiple studies have shown that mitochondria may respond to various extracellular signaling events. However, it is less clear how changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) can impact mitochondrial homeostasis to regulate animal physiology. We find that ECM remodeling alters mitochondrial homeostasis in an evolutionarily conserved manner. Mechanistically, ECM remodeling triggers a TGF-β response to induce mitochondrial fission and the unfolded protein response of the mitochondria (UPRMT). At the organismal level, ECM remodeling promotes defense of animals against pathogens through enhanced mitochondrial stress responses. We postulate that this ECM-mitochondria crosstalk represents an ancient immune pathway, which detects infection- or mechanical-stress-induced ECM damage, thereby initiating adaptive mitochondria-based immune and metabolic responses.

Abstract
Circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA (ccf-mtDNA) has emerged as a promising biomarker, with potential implications for disease diagnosis. Changes in mtDNA, such as deletions, mutations or variations in the number of copies, have been associated with mitochondrial disorders, heart diseases, cancer and age-related non-communicable diseases. Previous methods, such as polymerase chain reaction-based approaches, next-generation sequencing and imaging-based techniques, have shown improved accuracy in identifying rare mtDNA variants or mutations, but they have limitations. This article explains the basic principles and benefits of using planar optical waveguide-based detection devices, which represent an advanced approach in the field of sensing.

Abstract
TP53-mutant blood cancers remain a clinical challenge. BH3-mimetic drugs inhibit BCL-2 pro-survival proteins, inducing cancer cell apoptosis. Despite acting downstream of p53, functional p53 is required for maximal cancer cell killing by BH3-mimetics through an unknown mechanism. Here, we report p53 is activated following BH3-mimetic induced mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, leading to BH3-only protein induction and thereby potentiating the pro-apoptotic signal. TP53-deficient lymphomas lack this feedforward loop, providing opportunities for survival and disease relapse after BH3-mimetic treatment. The therapeutic barrier imposed by defects in TP53 can be overcome by direct activation of the cGAS/STING pathway, which promotes apoptosis of blood cancer cells through p53-independent BH3-only protein upregulation. Combining clinically relevant STING agonists with BH3-mimetic drugs efficiently kills TRP53/TP53-mutant mouse B lymphoma, human NK/T lymphoma, and acute myeloid leukemia cells. This represents a promising therapy regime that can be fast-tracked to tackle TP53-mutant blood cancers in the clinic.

Sensing of mitochondrial DNA by ZBP1 promotes RIPK3-mediated necroptosis and ferroptosis in response to diquat poisoning. Cell Death Differ 2024; 31:635-650. [PMID: 38493248 PMCID: PMC11094118 DOI: 10.1038/s41418-024-01279-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Diquat (DQ) poisoning is a severe medical condition associated with life-threatening implications and multiorgan dysfunction. Despite its clinical significance, the precise underlying mechanism remains inadequately understood. This study elucidates that DQ induces instability in the mitochondrial genome of endothelial cells, resulting in the accumulation of Z-form DNA. This process activates Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1), which then interacts with receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3), ultimately leading to RIPK3-dependent necroptotic and ferroptotic signaling cascades. Specific deletion of either Zbp1 or Ripk3 in endothelial cells simultaneously inhibits both necroptosis and ferroptosis. This dual inhibition significantly reduces organ damage and lowers mortality rate. Notably, our investigation reveals that RIPK3 has a dual role. It not only phosphorylates MLKL to induce necroptosis but also phosphorylates FSP1 to inhibit its enzymatic activity, promoting ferroptosis. The study further shows that deletion of mixed lineage kinase domain-like (Mlkl) and the augmentation of ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1)-dependent non-canonical vitamin K cycling can provide partial protection against DQ-induced organ damage. Combining Mlkl deletion with vitamin K treatment demonstrates a heightened efficacy in ameliorating multiorgan damage and lethality induced by DQ. Taken together, this study identifies ZBP1 as a crucial sensor for DQ-induced mitochondrial Z-form DNA, initiating RIPK3-dependent necroptosis and ferroptosis. These findings suggest that targeting the ZBP1/RIPK3-dependent necroptotic and ferroptotic pathways could be a promising approach for drug interventions aimed at mitigating the adverse consequences of DQ poisoning.

Abstract
STING (STimulator of Interferon Genes) is a cytosolic sensor for cyclic dinucleotides (CDNs) and initiates an innate immune response upon binding to CDNs. Coxiella burnetii is a Gram-negative obligate intracellular bacterium and the causative agent of the zoonotic disease Q fever. The ability of C. burnetii to inhibit host cell death is a critical factor in disease development. Previous studies have shown that C. burnetii inhibits host cell apoptosis at early stages of infection. However, during the late-stages of infection, there is host cell lysis resulting in the release of bacteria to infect bystander cells. Thus, we investigated the role of STING during late-stages of C. burnetii infection and examined STING's impact on host cell death. We show that the loss of STING results in higher bacterial loads and abrogates IFNβ and IL6 induction at 12 days post-infection. The absence of STING during C. burnetii infection significantly reduces apoptosis through decreased caspase-8 and -3 activation. During infection, STING activates IRF3 which interacts with BAX. BAX then translocates to the mitochondria, which is followed by mitochondrial membrane depolarization. This results in increased cytosolic mtDNA in a STING-dependent manner. The presence of increased cytosolic mtDNA results in greater cytosolic 2'-3' cGAMP, creating a positive feedback loop and leading to further increases in STING activation and its downstream signaling. Taken together, we show that STING signaling is critical for BAX-IRF3-mediated mitochondria-induced apoptosis during late-stage C. burnetii infection.

Abstract
Dynamin related protein 1 (DRP1), a pivotal mitochondrial fission protein, is post-translationally modified by multiple mechanisms. Here we identify a new post-translational modification of DRP1 by the ubiquitin-like protein, interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15). DRP1 ISGylation is mediated by ISG15 E3 ligase, HERC5; this promotes mitochondrial fission. DeISGylation of DRP1 however leads to hyperfusion. Heterologous expression of SARS-CoV2 PLpro, a deISGylating enzyme, results in similar mitochondrial filamentation, significant decrease in total DRP1 protein levels and efflux of mtDNA. We report that deISGylated DRP1 gets ubiquitylated and degraded by TRIM25, instead of PARKIN and MITOL. While the cytosolic pool of DRP1 is primarily ISGylated, both mitochondrial and cytosolic fractions may be ubiquitylated. It is known that phosphorylation of DRP1 at S616 residue regulates its mitochondrial localisation; we show that ISGylation of phospho-DRP1 (S616) renders fission competence at mitochondria. This is significant because DRP1 ISGylation affects its functionality and mitochondrial dynamics in Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive malignancy without effective therapeutic approaches. Here, we evaluate the tumor-intrinsic mechanisms that attenuate the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) that is observed in patients with advanced HCC who progress on first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Upregulation of AXL observed in sorafenib- and lenvatinib-resistant HCCs is correlated with poor response towards TKI and ICI treatments. AXL upregulation protects sorafenib-resistant HCC cells from oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, and accompanying immunogenic cell death through suppressed tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and STING-type I interferon pathways. Pharmacological inhibition of AXL abrogates the protective effect and re-sensitizes TKI-resistant HCC tumors to anti-PD-1 treatment. We suggest that targeting AXL in combination with anti-PD-1 may provide an alternative treatment scheme for HCC patients who progress on TKI treatment.

Abstract
Photosensitivity is observed in numerous autoimmune diseases and drives poor quality of life and disease flares. Elevated epidermal type I interferon (IFN) production primes for photosensitivity and enhanced inflammation, but the substrates that sustain and amplify this cycle remain undefined. Here, we show that IFN-induced Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) stabilizes ultraviolet (UV)B-induced cytosolic Z-DNA derived from oxidized mitochondrial DNA. ZBP1 is significantly upregulated in the epidermis of adult and pediatric patients with autoimmune photosensitivity. Strikingly, lupus keratinocytes accumulate extensive cytosolic Z-DNA after UVB, and transfection of keratinocytes with Z-DNA results in stronger IFN production through cGAS-STING activation compared to B-DNA. ZBP1 knockdown abrogates UV-induced IFN responses, whereas overexpression results in a lupus-like phenotype with spontaneous Z-DNA accumulation and IFN production. Our results highlight Z-DNA and ZBP1 as critical mediators for UVB-induced inflammation and uncover how type I IFNs prime for cutaneous inflammation in photosensitivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Beyond the observed alterations in cellular structure and mitochondria, the mechanisms linking rare genetic mutations to the development of heart failure in patients affected by desmin mutations remain unclear due in part, to the lack of relevant human cardiomyocyte models. METHODS To shed light on the role of mitochondria in these mechanisms, we investigated cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells carrying the heterozygous DESE439K mutation that were either isolated from a patient or generated by gene editing. To increase physiological relevance, cardiomyocytes were either cultured on an anisotropic micropatterned surface to obtain elongated and aligned cardiomyocytes, or as a cardiac spheroid to create a micro-tissue. Moreover, when applicable, results from cardiomyocytes were confirmed with heart biopsies of suddenly died patient of the same family harboring DESE439K mutation, and post-mortem heart samples from five control healthy donors. RESULTS The heterozygous DESE439K mutation leads to dramatic changes in the overall cytoarchitecture of cardiomyocytes, including cell size and morphology. Most importantly, mutant cardiomyocytes display altered mitochondrial architecture, mitochondrial respiratory capacity and metabolic activity reminiscent of defects observed in patient's heart tissue. Finally, to challenge the pathological mechanism, we transferred normal mitochondria inside the mutant cardiomyocytes and demonstrated that this treatment was able to restore mitochondrial and contractile functions of cardiomyocytes. CONCLUSIONS This work highlights the deleterious effects of DESE439K mutation, demonstrates the crucial role of mitochondrial abnormalities in the pathophysiology of desmin-related cardiomyopathy, and opens up new potential therapeutic perspectives for this disease.

Mitochondrial DNA release mediated by TFAM deficiency promotes copper-induced mitochondrial innate immune response via cGAS-STING signalling in chicken hepatocytes.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is pollution metal that is a global concern due to its toxic effects. A recent study found that the release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the cytoplasm can activate the innate immune response, but the exact mechanisms underlying the effect of Cu exposure remains unknown. In this study, we identified that the reduction in transcription Factor A (TFAM) led to mtDNA leakage into the cytoplasm under Cu exposure in hepatocytes, accompanied by the activation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway-mediated innate immunity (increased expression of cGAS, STING, TANK-binding kinase-1 (TBK1), and interferon regulatory factor-3 (IRF3)) genes and proteins, and enhanced phosphorylation levels of TBK1 and IRF3). Subsequently, silencing TFAM (siTFAM) significantly aggravated mtDNA release and the innate immune response under Cu treatment. Mitochondrial DNA depletion alleviated Cu-induced innate immunity in hepatocytes, while mtDNA transfection further enhanced the innate immune response. Notably, the inhibition of STING effectively alleviated the phosphorylation levels of the TBK1 and IRF3 proteins induced by Cu, while the upregulation of STING aggravated the Cu-induced innate immunity. Furthermore, EtBr and H-151(a STING inhibitor) treatment dramatically reversed the effect of TFAM depletion on the sharpened innate immune response induced by Cu via the cGAS-STING pathway. In general, these findings demonstrated the TFAM deficiency promotes innate immunity by activating the mtDNA-cGAS-STING signalling pathway under Cu exposure in hepatocytes, providing new insight into Cu toxicology.

Abstract
Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) is a cytosolic nucleic acid sensor, functioning as a critical mediator of inflammation and cell death pathways. Since neuroinflammation could occur in response to damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), ZBP1 might be involved in neuroinflammation after stroke. However, the spatiotemporal expression profile of ZBP1 in the post-stroke brain remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the spatiotemporal expression patterns of ZBP1 in the post-stroke brain using a mouse photothrombotic stroke model. Real-time PCR assays showed that ZBP1 is induced on days 3-14 post stroke. ZBP1 immunoreactivity was observed in Iba1-positive microglia/macrophages in peri-infarct regions by immunohistochemistry. ZBP1-positive cells were spread in layers surrounding the infarct core by 7-14 days post stroke. Interestingly, ZBP1 immunoreactivity was also detected in CD206-positive border-associated macrophages (BAMs) in the meninges. Furthermore, ZBP1-expressing cells were positive for antibodies against inflammatory mediators such as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), Toll/IL-1R domain-containing adaptor-inducing IFN-β (TRIF), and receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1). Morphological analysis with confocal microscopy showed that the co-localization signals of ZBP1 and its adaptor, TRIF, are increased by glucose oxidase (GOx) treatment, which has been reported to induce mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release. These results suggest that ZBP1 is induced in peri-infarct microglia/macrophages and may be involved in DAMPs-mediated neuroinflammation involving mtDNA in the post-infarct brain.

Abstract
Type I interferon (IFN) signalling is tightly controlled. Upon recognition of DNA by cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), stimulator of interferon genes (STING) translocates along the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-Golgi axis to induce IFN signalling. Termination is achieved through autophagic degradation or recycling of STING by retrograde Golgi-to-ER transport. Here, we identify the GTPase ADP-ribosylation factor 1 (ARF1) as a crucial negative regulator of cGAS-STING signalling. Heterozygous ARF1 missense mutations cause a previously unrecognized type I interferonopathy associated with enhanced IFN-stimulated gene expression. Disease-associated, GTPase-defective ARF1 increases cGAS-STING dependent type I IFN signalling in cell lines and primary patient cells. Mechanistically, mutated ARF1 perturbs mitochondrial morphology, causing cGAS activation by aberrant mitochondrial DNA release, and leads to accumulation of active STING at the Golgi/ERGIC due to defective retrograde transport. Our data show an unexpected dual role of ARF1 in maintaining cGAS-STING homeostasis, through promotion of mitochondrial integrity and STING recycling.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) modifications play an emerging role in innate immunity and inflammatory diseases. Nonetheless, relatively little is known regarding the locations of mtDNA modifications. Such information is critically important for deciphering their roles in mtDNA instability, mtDNA-mediated immune and inflammatory responses, and mitochondrial disorders. The affinity probe-based enrichment of lesion-containing DNA represents a key strategy for sequencing DNA modifications. Existing methods are limited in the enrichment specificity of abasic (AP) sites, a prevalent DNA modification and repair intermediate. Herein, we devise a novel approach, termed dual chemical labeling-assisted sequencing (DCL-seq), for mapping AP sites. DCL-seq features two designer compounds for enriching and mapping AP sites specifically at single-nucleotide resolution. For proof of principle, we mapped AP sites in mtDNA from HeLa cells under different biological conditions. The resulting AP site maps coincide with mtDNA regions with low TFAM (mitochondrial transcription factor A) coverage and with potential G-quadruplex-forming sequences. In addition, we demonstrated the broader applicability of the method in sequencing other DNA modifications in mtDNA, such as N7-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine and N3-methyl-2'-deoxyadenosine, when coupled with a lesion-specific repair enzyme. Together, DCL-seq holds the promise to sequence multiple DNA modifications in various biological samples.

Abstract
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a non-specific exaggerated defense response caused by infectious or non-infectious stressors such as trauma, burn, surgery, ischemia and reperfusion, and malignancy, which can eventually lead to an uncontrolled inflammatory response. In addition to the early mortality due to the "first hits" after trauma, the trauma-induced SIRS and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) are the main reasons for the poor prognosis of trauma patients as "second hits". Unlike infection-induced SIRS caused by pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), trauma-induced SIRS is mainly mediated by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) including mitochondrial DAMPs (mtDAMPs). MtDAMPs released after trauma-induced mitochondrial injury, including mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and mitochondrial formyl peptides (mtFPs), can activate inflammatory response through multiple inflammatory signaling pathways. This review summarizes the role and mechanism of mtDAMPs in the occurrence and development of trauma-induced SIRS.

Abstract
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a potent agonist of the innate immune system; however, the exact immunostimulatory features of mtDNA and the kinetics of detection by cytosolic nucleic acid sensors remain poorly defined. Here, we show that mitochondrial genome instability promotes Z-form DNA accumulation. Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) stabilizes Z-form mtDNA and nucleates a cytosolic complex containing cGAS, RIPK1, and RIPK3 to sustain STAT1 phosphorylation and type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling. Elevated Z-form mtDNA, ZBP1 expression, and IFN-I signaling are observed in cardiomyocytes after exposure to Doxorubicin, a first-line chemotherapeutic agent that induces frequent cardiotoxicity in cancer patients. Strikingly, mice lacking ZBP1 or IFN-I signaling are protected from Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Our findings reveal ZBP1 as a cooperative partner for cGAS that sustains IFN-I responses to mitochondrial genome instability and highlight ZBP1 as a potential target in heart failure and other disorders where mtDNA stress contributes to interferon-related pathology.

Abstract
According to the endosymbiotic theory, most of the DNA of the original bacterial endosymbiont has been lost or transferred to the nucleus, leaving a much smaller (∼16 kb in mammals), circular molecule that is the present-day mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The ability of mtDNA to escape mitochondria and integrate into the nuclear genome was discovered in budding yeast, along with genes that regulate this process. Mitochondria have emerged as key regulators of innate immunity, and it is now recognized that mtDNA released into the cytoplasm, outside of the cell, or into circulation activates multiple innate immune signaling pathways. Here, we first review the mechanisms through which mtDNA is released into the cytoplasm, including several inducible mitochondrial pores and defective mitophagy or autophagy. Next, we cover how the different forms of released mtDNA activate specific innate immune nucleic acid sensors and inflammasomes. Finally, we discuss how intracellular and extracellular mtDNA release, including circulating cell-free mtDNA that promotes systemic inflammation, are implicated in human diseases, bacterial and viral infections, senescence and aging.

The potential role of CpG oligodeoxynucleotides on diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy mediated by P2Y12 receptor in rat stellate ganglia. Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 119:110044. [PMID: 37264553 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Revised: 02/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
Cardiac autonomic neuropathy has a high prevalence in type 2 diabetes, which increases the risk of cardiovascular system disorders. CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (CpG-ODN), a Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) ligand, has been shown to have cardioprotection and cellular protection. Our previous work showed that P2Y12 in stellate ganglia (SG) is involved in the process of diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN). Here, we aim to investigate whether CpG-ODN 1826 plays a protective role in DCAN and whether this beneficial protection involves regulation of the P2Y12-mediated cardiac sympathetic injury. Our results revealed that CpG-ODN 1826 activated TLR9 receptor, improved the abnormal blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV) and sympathetic nerve discharge (SND) activity in diabetic rats and reduced the up-regulated NF-κB, P2Y12 receptor, TNF-α and IL-1β in SG. Meanwhile, CpG-ODN 1826 significantly decreased the elevated ATP, nuclear receptor coactivator 4 (NCOA4), iron, ROS and MDA levels and increased GPX4 and GSH levels. In addition, CpG-ODN 1826 contributes to maintain normalization of mitochondrial structure in SG. Overall, CpG-ODN 1826 alleviates the sympathetic excitation and abnormal neuron-glial signal communication via activating TLR9 receptors to achieve a balance of autonomic activity and relieve the DCAN in rats. The mechanism may involve the regulation of P2Y12 receptor in SG by reducing ATP release and NF-κB expression, which counteract neuroinflammation and ferroptosis mediated by activated P2Y12 in SG.

Abstract
Mitochondria have cell-type specific phenotypes, perform dozens of interconnected functions and undergo dynamic and often reversible physiological recalibrations. Given their multifunctional and malleable nature, the frequently used terms 'mitochondrial function' and 'mitochondrial dysfunction' are misleading misnomers that fail to capture the complexity of mitochondrial biology. To increase the conceptual and experimental specificity in mitochondrial science, we propose a terminology system that distinguishes between (1) cell-dependent properties, (2) molecular features, (3) activities, (4) functions and (5) behaviours. A hierarchical terminology system that accurately captures the multifaceted nature of mitochondria will achieve three important outcomes. It will convey a more holistic picture of mitochondria as we teach the next generations of mitochondrial biologists, maximize progress in the rapidly expanding field of mitochondrial science, and also facilitate synergy with other disciplines. Improving specificity in the language around mitochondrial science is a step towards refining our understanding of the mechanisms by which this unique family of organelles contributes to cellular and organismal health.

How the Innate Immune DNA Sensing cGAS-STING Pathway Is Involved in Apoptosis. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24033029. [PMID: 36769349 PMCID: PMC9917431 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24033029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2023] Open
Abstract
The cGAS-STING signaling axis can be activated by cytosolic DNA, including both non-self DNA and self DNA. This axis is used by the innate immune system to monitor invading pathogens and/or damage. Increasing evidence has suggested that the cGAS-STING pathway not only facilitates inflammatory responses and the production of type I interferons (IFN), but also activates other cellular processes, such as apoptosis. Recently, many studies have focused on analyzing the mechanisms of apoptosis induced by the cGAS-STING pathway and their consequences. This review gives a detailed account of the interplay between the cGAS-STING pathway and apoptosis. The cGAS-STING pathway can induce apoptosis through ER stress, NLRP3, NF-κB, IRF3, and IFN signals. Conversely, apoptosis can feed back to regulate the cGAS-STING pathway, suppressing it via the activation of caspases or promoting it via mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release. Apoptosis mediated by the cGAS-STING pathway plays crucial roles in balancing innate immune responses, resisting infections, and limiting tumor growth.

Protein engineering reveals that gasdermin A preferentially targets mitochondrial membranes over the plasma membrane during pyroptosis. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:102908. [PMID: 36642180 PMCID: PMC9943860 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.102908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
When activated, gasdermin family members are thought to be pore-forming proteins that cause lytic cell death. Despite this, numerous studies have suggested that the threshold for lytic cell death is dependent on which gasdermin family member is activated. Determination of the propensity of various gasdermin family members to cause pyroptosis has been handicapped by the fact that for many of them, the mechanisms and timing of their activation are uncertain. In this article, we exploit the recently discovered exosite-mediated recognition of gasdermin D (GSDMD) by the inflammatory caspases to develop a system that activates gasdermin family members in an efficient and equivalent manner. We leverage this system to show that upon activation, GSDMD and gasdermin A (GSDMA) exhibit differential subcellular localization, differential plasma membrane permeabilization, and differential lytic cell death. While GSDMD localizes rapidly to both the plasma membrane and organelle membranes, GSDMA preferentially localizes to the mitochondria with delayed and diminished accumulation at the plasma membrane. As a consequence of this differential kinetics of subcellular localization, N-terminal GSDMA results in early mitochondrial dysfunction relative to plasma membrane permeabilization. This study thus challenges the assumption that gasdermin family members effect cell death through identical mechanisms and establishes that their activation in their respective tissues of expression likely results in different immunological outcomes.

Abstract
Mitochondria are key organelles of cellular energy metabolism; both mitochondrial function and metabolism determine the physiological function of cells and serve an essential role in immune responses. Key damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), such as mitochondrial DNA and N-formyl peptides, released following severe trauma-induced mitochondrial damage may affect the respiratory chain, enhance oxidative stress and activate systemic inflammatory responses via a variety of inflammation-associated signaling pathways. Severe trauma can lead to sepsis, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and death. The present review aimed to summarize the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the effects of human mitochondrial injury-released DAMPs on triggering systemic inflammatory responses and to determine their potential future clinical applications in preventing and treating sepsis.
