Pai MS, Wang KC, Yeh KC, Wang SJ. Stabilization of mitochondrial function by chlorogenic acid protects against kainic acid-induced seizures and neuronal cell death in rats. Eur J Pharmacol 2023; 961:176197. [PMID: 38000721 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.176197] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Revised: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
The current study investigated the effect of chlorogenic acid, a polyphenolic compound found in numerous plant products, on a kainic acid-induced seizure rat model and its potential mechanism. Rats were administered chlorogenic acid (10 and 50 mg/kg) intraperitoneally for 30 min before kainic acid (15 mg/kg) intraperitoneal administration. Pretreatment with chlorogenic acid decreased the seizure score, increased the latency to onset of the first seizure, and decreased the mortality rate. Chlorogenic acid pretreatment also resulted in a significant reduction in glutamate elevation and neuronal death in the hippocampus of kainic acid-treated rats. In addition, electron microscopy revealed that kainic acid-induced changes in hippocampal mitochondrial structure were prevented by chlorogenic acid pretreatment. Additionally, the levels of mitochondrial function-related proteins, including sirtuin 3, Complex I, glutamate dehydrogenase 1 and ATP synthase, were increased, and the level of the mitochondrial damage marker cytochrome C was decreased in the hippocampus of chlorogenic acid/kainic acid rats. Furthermore, the expression of mitochondrial biogenesis-related proteins [AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), sirtuin1, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ-coactivator-1α (PGC-1α)] and mitophagy-related proteins [phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1), Parkin, and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)] was decreased in the hippocampus of kainic acid-treated rats, which was reversed by chlorogenic acid pretreatment. These observations reveal the marked neuroprotective potential of chlorogenic acid against kainic acid-induced neurotoxicity and seizures through prevention of glutamate increase and preservation of AMPK/sirtuin 1/PGC-1α-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis and PINK1/Parkin-induced mitophagy to maintain adequate mitochondrial homeostasis and function.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia is a neurological disorder associated with complex pathological mechanisms, including autophagic degradation of neuronal mitochondria, or termed mitophagy, following ischemic events. Despite being well-documented, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of neuronal mitophagy remain unknown. So far, the evidence suggests neuronal autophagy and mitophagy are separately regulated in ischemic neurons, the latter being more likely activated by reperfusional injury. Specifically, given the polarized morphology of neurons, mitophagy is regulated by different neuronal compartments, with axonal mitochondria being degraded by autophagy in the cell body following ischemia-reperfusion insult. A variety of molecules have been associated with neuronal adaptation to ischemia, including PTEN-induced kinase 1, Parkin, BCL2 and adenovirus E1B 19-kDa-interacting protein 3 (Bnip3), Bnip3-like (Bnip3l) and FUN14 domain-containing 1. Moreover, it is still controversial whether mitophagy protects against or instead aggravates ischemic brain injury. Here, we review recent studies on this topic and provide an updated overview of the role and regulation of mitophagy during ischemic events.

Neuroglobin protects against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats by suppressing mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated neuronal apoptosis through synaptotagmin-1. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2023.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains a grievous health threat, and herein effective therapy is urgently needed. This study explored the protection of neuroglobin (Ngb) in rats with cerebral I/R injury. The focal cerebral I/R rat models were established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and neuronal injury models were established by oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) treatment. The brain injury of rats was assessed. Levels of Ngb, Bcl-2, Bax, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related markers, and Syt1 were measured by immunofluorescence staining and Western blotting. The cytotoxicity in neurons was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay. Levels of intracellular Ca2+ and mitochondrial function-related indicators were determined. The binding between Ngb and Syt1 was detected by co-immunoprecipitation. Ngb was upregulated in cerebral I/R rats and its overexpression alleviated brain injury. In OGD/R-induced neurons, Ngb overexpression decreased LDH level and neuronal apoptosis, decreased Ca2+ content, and mitigated mitochondrial dysfunction and ERS-related apoptosis. However, Ngb silencing imposed the opposite effects. Importantly, Ngb could bind to Syt1. Syt1 knockdown partially counteracted the alleviation of Ngb on OGD/R-induced injury in neurons and cerebral I/R injury in rats. Briefly, Ngb extenuated cerebral I/R injury by repressing mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated neuronal apoptosis through Syt1.

Activation of PINK1-mediated mitophagy protects bovine mammary epithelial cells against lipopolysaccharide-induced mitochondrial and inflammatory damage in vitro. Free Radic Biol Med 2023; 194:172-183. [PMID: 36464026 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2022.11.044] [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: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 11/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022]
Abstract
Increased metabolic stress during early lactation results in damage of mitochondria and inflammatory responses in bovine mammary epithelial cells, both of which could be aggravated by inhibition of mitophagy. PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)-mediated mitophagy is essential in the removal of damaged mitochondria and the regulation of inflammatory responses. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the role of PINK1-mediated mitophagy on mitochondrial damage and inflammatory responses in bovine mammary epithelial cells challenged with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Exogenous LPS activated mitophagy and led to lower protein abundance of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes (COI-V) and lower oxygen consumption rate (OCR) along with increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (Mito-ROS) content. These effects were also associated with increased protein abundance of Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor containing pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) in a time-dependent manner. Pretreatment with 3-Methyladenine (3-MA) or knockdown of PINK1 aggravated the downregulation of COI-V protein abundance, the increase in Mito-ROS content, and the protein abundance of NLRP3, Cleaved-Caspase-1 and IL-1β induced by LPS. Overexpression of PINK1 activated mitophagy and alleviated LPS-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation by reducing Mito-ROS production. Overall, the data suggested that PINK1-mediated mitophagy is a crucial anti-inflammatory mechanism that removes damaged mitochondria in bovine mammary epithelial cells experiencing an increased inflammatory load.

Downregulation of ELAVL1 attenuates ferroptosis-induced neuronal impairment in rats with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion via reducing DNMT3B-dependent PINK1 methylation. Metab Brain Dis 2022; 37:2763-2775. [PMID: 36173508 DOI: 10.1007/s11011-022-01080-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2021] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ferroptosis is a non-apoptotic form of programmed cell death and has been found in ischemic stroke. Increasing evidence revealed that ELAVL1 is associated with ferroptosis, but it remains largely unclear whether ELAVL1 is involved in ischemic stroke. Here, we aimed to investigate the biological role and mechanism of ELAVL1 in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. METHODS ELAVL1 shRNA were intravenously injected into rat brain, and then ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) model was constructed in rats to detect infarct volume, neurobehavioral deficit, and several ferroptosis factors (GSH, GPX4, SLC7A11, MDA, ROS, iron ion) in vivo. Oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) treated pheochromocytoma-12 (PC12) cells were used as in vitro models of I/R. RIP, biotin pull-down and ChIP assays was used to explore the relationship among ELAVL1, DNMT3B, and PINK1. RESULTS ELAVL1 was highly expressed in rat brain tissue after I/R injury. Compared with those in the I/R group, the injection of RSL3 (30 mg/kg) or ferrostatin-1 (10 mg/kg) aggravated or alleviated infarct volume, neurobehavioral impairments, and increased or decreased ferroptosis factor levels, respectively. ELAVL1 silencing ameliorated brain damage in I/R-treated rats by inhibiting ferroptosis. Moreover, ELAVL1 silencing observably facilitated cell viability, GSH content, GPX4 and SLC7A11 expression, and reduced iron ion concentration, ROS and MDA levels in OGD/R-treated PC12 cells. ELAVL1 bound with DNMT3B mRNA 3'UTR and promoted DNMT3B expression. ELAVL1 inhibited PINK1 expression through stabilizing DNMT3B mRNA and blocking DNMT3B-mediated DNA methylation of PINK1 promoter. PINK1 knockdown reversed the effects of ELAVL1 inhibition on cell viability, GSH, GPX4, SLC7A11, iron ion concentration, ROS and MDA levels in OGD/R-treated PC12 cells. CONCLUSION ELAVL1 plays a critical role in protecting against ferroptosis-induced cerebral I/R and subsequent brain damage via DNMT3B/PINK1 axis, thus providing a new potential target for ischemic stroke treatment.

PINK1 overexpression prevents forskolin-induced tau hyperphosphorylation and oxidative stress in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2022; 43:1916-1927.

Abstract
PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/parkin pathway mediates mitophagy, which is a specialized form of autophagy. Evidence shows that PINK1 can exert protective effects against stress-induced neuronal cell death. In the present study we investigated the effects of PINK1 overexpression on tau hyperphosphorylation, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in a specific rat model of tau hyperphosphorylation. We showed that intracerebroventricular (ICV) microinjection of forskolin (FSK, 80 μmol) induced tau hyperphosphorylation in the rat brain and resulted in significant spatial working memory impairments in Y-maze test, accompanied by synaptic dysfunction (reduced expression of synaptic proteins synaptophysin and postsynaptic density protein 95), and neuronal loss in the hippocampus. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated overexpression of PINK1 prevented ICV-FSK-induced cognition defect and pathological alterations in the hippocampus, whereas PINK1-knockout significantly exacerbated ICV-FSK-induced deteriorated effects. Furthermore, we revealed that AAV-PINK1-mediated overexpression of PINK1 alleviated ICV-FSK-induced tau hyperphosphorylation by restoring the activity of PI3K/Akt/GSK3β signaling. PINK1 overexpression reversed the abnormal changes in mitochondrial dynamics, defective mitophagy, and decreased ATP levels in the hippocampus. Moreover, PINK1 overexpression activated Nrf2 signaling, thereby increasing the expression of antioxidant proteins and reducing oxidative damage. These results suggest that PINK1 deficiency exacerbates FSK-induced tau pathology, synaptic damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and antioxidant system defects, which were reversed by PINK1 overexpression. Our data support a critical role of PINK1-mediated mitophagy in controlling mitochondrial quality, tau hyperphosphorylation, and oxidative stress in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Recent studies showed that Ceramide Kinase-Like Protein (CERKL)was expressed in the nerve cells and could regulate autophagy. Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) is the regulator of the mitophagy, which can be stabilized by CERKL. Furthermore, the study also revealed that the SIRT1 induced mitophagy by activating PINK1/Parkin signaling. Therefore, we speculated that CERKL has potential to activate the SIRT1/PINK1/Parkin pathway to induce mitophagy. In this study, cerebral ischemia reperfusion mouse model was established. CERKL was overexpressed in those mice and human neuroblastoma cells. Tunel staining and flow cytometry were applied for the detection of cell apoptosis. The ratios of LC3Ⅱ to LC3Ⅰ and the expression of LC3Ⅱ in mitochondria were determined by gel electrophoresis. Overexpression of CERKL alleviated the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury and damage to OGD/R human neuroblastoma cells. Overexpression of CERKL enhanced the expression of LC3 Ⅱ in mitochondria and induced occurrence of mitophagy. Overexpression of CERKL promoted the stability of SIRT1 and facilitated the expression of PINK1 and Parkin in those cells. Knockdown of PINK1 impeded the mitophagy and suppressed the expression of LC3 Ⅱ in mitochondria. It can be concluded that CERKL alleviated the ischemia reperfusion induced nervous system injury through inducing mitophagy in a SIRT1/PINK1/Parkin dependent pathway.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) contributes to death, and disability worldwide more than any other traumatic insult and damage to cellular components including mitochondria leads to the impairment of cellular functions and brain function. In neurons, mitophagy, autophagy-mediated degradation of damaged mitochondria, is a key process in cellular quality control including mitochondrial homeostasis and energy supply and plays a fundamental role in neuronal survival and health. Conversely, defective mitophagy leads to the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and cellular dysfunction, contributing to inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal cell death. Therefore, an extensive characterization of mitophagy-related protective mechanisms, taking into account the complex mechanisms by which each molecular player is connected to the others, may provide a rationale for the development of new therapeutic strategies in TBI patients. Here, we discuss the contribution of defective mitophagy in TBI, and the underlying molecular mechanisms of mitophagy in inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuronal cell death highlight novel therapeutics based on newly discovered mitophagy-inducing strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury commonly occurs during perioperative periods, resulting in high morbidity and mortality on a global scale. Dexmedetomidine (Dex) is a selective α2-agonist that is frequently applied during perioperative periods for its analgesia effect; however, its ability to provide protection against intestinal I/R injury and underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS To fill this gap, the protection of Dex against I/R injury was examined in a rat model of intestinal I/R injury and in an inflammation cell model, which was induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) plus interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) stimulation. RESULTS Our data demonstrated that Dex had protective effects against intestinal I/R injury in rats. Dex was also found to promote mitophagy and inhibit apoptosis of enteric glial cells (EGCs) in the inflammation cell model. PINK1 downregulated p53 expression by promoting the phosphorylation of HDAC3. Further studies revealed that Dex provided protection against experimentally induced intestinal I/R injury in rats, while enhancing mitophagy, and suppressing apoptosis of EGCs through SIRT3-mediated PINK1/HDAC3/p53 pathway in the inflammation cell model. CONCLUSION Hence, these findings provide evidence supporting the protective effect of Dex against intestinal I/R injury and its underlying mechanism involving the SIRT3/PINK1/HDAC3/p53 axis.

Labeling and measuring stressed mitochondria using a PINK1-based ratiometric fluorescent sensor. J Biol Chem 2021; 297:101279. [PMID: 34624312 PMCID: PMC8560995 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2021.101279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Revised: 09/23/2021] [Accepted: 10/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Mitochondria are essential organelles that carry out a number of pivotal metabolic processes and maintain cellular homeostasis. Mitochondrial dysfunction caused by various stresses is associated with many diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, cancer, heart failure, neurodegenerative disorders, and aging. Therefore, it is important to understand the stimuli that induce mitochondrial stress. However, broad analysis of mitochondrial stress has not been carried out to date. Here, we present a set of fluorescent tools, called mito-Pain (mitochondrial PINK1 accumulation index), which enable the labeling of stressed mitochondria. Mito-Pain uses PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) stabilization on mitochondria and quantifies mitochondrial stress levels by comparison with PINK1-GFP, which is stabilized under mitochondrial stress, and RFP-Omp25, which is constitutively localized on mitochondria. To identify compounds that induce mitochondrial stress, we screened a library of 3374 compounds using mito-Pain and identified 57 compounds as mitochondrial stress inducers. Furthermore, we classified each compound into several categories based on mitochondrial response: depolarization, mitochondrial morphology, or Parkin recruitment. Parkin recruitment to mitochondria was often associated with mitochondrial depolarization and aggregation, suggesting that Parkin is recruited to heavily damaged mitochondria. In addition, many of the compounds led to various mitochondrial morphological changes, including fragmentation, aggregation, elongation, and swelling, with or without Parkin recruitment or mitochondrial depolarization. We also found that several compounds induced an ectopic response of Parkin, leading to the formation of cytosolic puncta dependent on PINK1. Thus, mito-Pain enables the detection of stressed mitochondria under a wide variety of conditions and provides insights into mitochondrial quality control systems.

Hypoxic postconditioning promotes mitophagy against transient global cerebral ischemia via PINK1/Parkin-induced mitochondrial ubiquitination in adult rats. Cell Death Dis 2021; 12:630. [PMID: 34145219 PMCID: PMC8213752 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-021-03900-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
Mitophagy alleviates neuronal damage after cerebral ischemia by selectively removing dysfunctional mitochondria. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin-mediated mitophagy is the most well-known type of mitophagy. However, little is known about the role of PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy in ischemic tolerance induced by hypoxic postconditioning (HPC) with 8% O2 against transient global cerebral ischemia (tGCI). Hence, we aimed to test the hypothesis that HPC-mediated PINK1/Parkin-induced mitochondrial ubiquitination and promotes mitophagy, thus exerting neuroprotection in the hippocampal CA1 subregion against tGCI. We found that mitochondrial clearance was disturbed at the late phase of reperfusion after tGCI, which was reversed by HPC, as evidenced by the reduction of the translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20 homologs (TOMM20), translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 23 (TIMM23) and heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) in CA1 after HPC. In addition, HPC further increased the ratio of LC3II/I in mitochondrial fraction and promoted the formation of mitophagosomes in CA1 neurons after tGCI. The administration of lysosome inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) intraperitoneally or mitophagy inhibitor (Mdivi-1) intracerebroventricularly abrogated HPC-induced mitochondrial turnover and neuroprotection in CA1 after tGCI. We also found that HPC activated PINK1/Parkin pathway after tGCI, as shown by the augment of mitochondrial PINK1 and Parkin and the promotion of mitochondrial ubiquitination in CA1. In addition, PINK1 or Parkin knockdown with small-interfering RNA (siRNA) suppressed the activation of PINK1/Parkin pathway and hampered mitochondrial clearance and attenuated neuroprotection induced by HPC, whereas PINK1 overexpression promoted PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy and ameliorated neuronal damage in CA1 after tGCI. Taken together, the new finding in this study is that HPC-induced neuroprotection against tGCI through promoting mitophagy mediated by PINK1/Parkin-dependent pathway.

Abstract
Berberine has been verified to protect cardiac function in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the mechanism(s) involved in berberine-mediated cardioprotective effects has not been clearly elucidated. The aim of this study was to further investigate the mechanism(s) involved in the beneficial effects of berberine on transverse aortic contraction (TAC)-induced chronic HF. Mice were randomly divided into four groups. Berberine was administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks via oral gavage. Our findings showed that TAC-induced pressure overload (PO) prompted cardiac dysfunction, cardiac hypertrophy, interstitial fibrosis, cardiomyocyte apoptosis and mitochondrial injury, accompanied with suppressed mitophagy, the effects of which were attenuated by berberine. Furthermore, mitophagy regulators PINK1 and mito-Parkin were downregulated in TAC-induced HF, while berberine upregulated PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy. Notably, knockdown of PINK1 by small interfering RNA significantly suppressed Parkin-mediated mitochondrial ubiquitination and nullified the beneficial actions on HF exerted by berberine. Taken together, our results indicated that berberine plays a critical role in attenuating cardiac hypertrophy and preserving cardiac function from PO induced HF. The potential underlying mechanism is the activation of mitochondrial autophagy via PINK1/Parkin/Ubiquitination pathway.

Metformin preferentially provides neuroprotection following cardiac ischemia/reperfusion in non-diabetic rats. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2020; 1866:165893. [PMID: 32621957 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2020.165893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Following acute myocardial infarction, re-establishment of coronary perfusion aggravates further injuries in the heart and remote organs including the brain as a consequence of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Since pretreatment with metformin attenuated both cardiac and cerebral I/R injury via AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathways, we hypothesized that metformin given after ischemia mitigates both cardiac and brain pathologies following cardiac I/R. Male Wistar rats were subjected to either cardiac I/R (30 min-ischemia/120 min-reperfusion; n = 30) or sham operation (n = 5). Metformin 200 mg/kg was given intravenously to the cardiac I/R group (n = 10/group), either during ischemia (D-MET) or at the onset of reperfusion (R-MET). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and arrhythmia scores were determined. The heart and brain tissues were collected to determine the extent of injury, mitochondrial function, and apoptosis. Additionally, microglial morphology, Alzheimer's proteins, and dendritic spine density were determined in the brain. Cardiac I/R led to not only reduced LVEF, cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction, and arrhythmias, but also brain mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, Alzheimer's protein aggregation, microglial activation, and dendritic spine loss. A single dose of metformin did not alter p-AMPK/AMPK in both organs. In the heart, impaired LVEF, arrhythmias, infarct size expansion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and apoptosis were not alleviated. On the contrary, metformin attenuated brain mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, and Alzheimer's protein levels. Microglial morphology and dendritic spine density were additionally preserved in D-MET group. In conclusion, metformin given during ischemia preferentially provides neuroprotection against brain mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, microglial activation, and dendritic spine loss in an AMPK-independent manner following cardiac I/R injury.
