Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), a serious complication of diabetes, leads to structural and functional abnormalities of the heart and ultimately evolves to heart failure. IL-37 exerts a substantial influence on the regulation of inflammation and metabolism. Whether IL-37 is involved in DCM is unknown. METHODS The plasma samples were collected from healthy controls, diabetic patients and DCM patients, and the level of IL-37 and its relationship with heart function were observed. The changes in cardiac function, myocardial fibrosis and mitochondrial injury in DCM mice with or without IL-37 intervention were investigated in vivo. By an in vitro co-culture approach involving HG challenge of cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts, the interaction carried out by cardiomyocytes on fibroblast profibrotic activation was studied. Finally, the possible interactive mediator between cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts was explored, and the intervention role of IL-37 and its relevant molecular mechanisms. RESULTS We showed that the level of plasma IL-37 in DCM patients was upregulated compared to that in healthy controls and diabetic patients. Both recombinant IL-37 administration or inducing IL-37 expression alleviated cardiac dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis in DCM mice. Mechanically, hyperglycemia impaired mitochondria through SIRT1/AMPK/PGC1α signaling, resulting in significant cardiomyocyte apoptosis and the release of extracellular vesicles containing mtDNA. Fibroblasts then engulfed these mtDNA-enriched vesicles, thereby activating TLR9 signaling and the cGAS-STING pathway to initiate pro-fibrotic process and adverse remodeling. However, the presence of IL-37 ameliorated mitochondrial injury by preserving the activity of SIRT1-AMPK-PGC1α axis, resulting in a reduction in release of mtDNA-enriched vesicle and ultimately attenuating the progression of DCM. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our study demonstrates a protective role of IL-37 in DCM, offering a promising therapeutic agent for this disease.

Yu H, Lin J, Yuan J, Sun X, Wang C, Bai B. Screening mitochondria-related biomarkers in skin and plasma of atopic dermatitis patients by bioinformatics analysis and machine learning. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1367602. [PMID: 38774875 PMCID: PMC11106410 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1367602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Background There is a significant imbalance of mitochondrial activity and oxidative stress (OS) status in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). This study aims to screen skin and peripheral mitochondria-related biomarkers, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in AD. Methods Public data were obtained from MitoCarta 3.0 and GEO database. We screened mitochondria-related differentially expressed genes (MitoDEGs) using R language and then performed GO and KEGG pathway analysis on MitoDEGs. PPI and machine learning algorithms were also used to select hub MitoDEGs. Meanwhile, the expression of hub MitoDEGs in clinical samples were verified. Using ROC curve analysis, the diagnostic performance of risk model constructed from these hub MitoDEGs was evaluated in the training and validation sets. Further computer-aided algorithm analyses included gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), immune infiltration and mitochondrial metabolism, centered on these hub MitoDEGs. We also used real-time PCR and Spearman method to evaluate the relationship between plasma circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA (ccf-mtDNA) levels and disease severity in AD patients. Results MitoDEGs in AD were significantly enriched in pathways involved in mitochondrial respiration, mitochondrial metabolism, and mitochondrial membrane transport. Four hub genes (BAX, IDH3A, MRPS6, and GPT2) were selected to take part in the creation of a novel mitochondrial-based risk model for AD prediction. The risk score demonstrated excellent diagnostic performance in both the training cohort (AUC = 1.000) and the validation cohort (AUC = 0.810). Four hub MitoDEGs were also clearly associated with the innate immune cells' infiltration and the molecular modifications of mitochondrial hypermetabolism in AD. We further discovered that AD patients had considerably greater plasma ccf-mtDNA levels than controls (U = 92.0, p< 0.001). Besides, there was a significant relationship between the up-regulation of plasma mtDNA and the severity of AD symptoms. Conclusions The study highlights BAX, IDH3A, MRPS6 and GPT2 as crucial MitoDEGs and demonstrates their efficiency in identifying AD. Moderate to severe AD is associated with increased markers of mitochondrial damage and cellular stress (ccf=mtDNA). Our study provides data support for the variation in mitochondria-related functional characteristics of AD patients.

High number of mitochondrial DNA alterations in postmortem brain tissue of patients with schizophrenia compared to healthy controls. Psychiatry Res 2024; 337:115928. [PMID: 38759415 DOI: 10.1016/j.psychres.2024.115928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 05/19/2024]
Abstract
Previous studies have shown mitochondrial dysfunction in schizophrenia (SZ) patients, which may be caused by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations. However, there are few studies in SZ that have analyzed mtDNA in brain samples by next-generation sequencing (NGS). To address this gap, we used mtDNA-targeted NGS and qPCR to characterize mtDNA alterations in brain samples from patients with SZ (n = 40) and healthy controls (HC) (n = 40). 35 % of SZ patients showed mtDNA alterations, a significantly higher prevalence compared to 10 % of HC. Specifically, SZ patients had a significantly higher frequency of deletions (35 vs. 5 in HC), with a mean number of deletions of 3.8 in SZ vs. 1.0 in HC. Likely pathogenic missense variants were also significantly more frequent in patients with SZ than in HC (10 vs. three HC), encompassing 14 variants in patients and three in HC. The pathogenic tRNA variant m.3243A>G was identified in one SZ patient with a high heteroplasmy level of 32.2 %. While no significant differences in mtDNA copy number (mtDNA-CN) were observed between SZ and HC, antipsychotic users had significantly higher mtDNA-CN than non-users. These findings suggest a potential role for mtDNA alterations in the pathophysiology of SZ that require further validation and functional studies.

Altered vacuole membrane protein 1 (VMP1) expression is associated with increased NLRP3 inflammasome activation and mitochondrial dysfunction. Inflamm Res 2024; 73:563-580. [PMID: 38411635 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-024-01856-x] [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: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Altered expression of vacuole membrane protein 1 (VMP1) has recently been observed in the context of multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease (PD). However, how changes in VMP1 expression may impact pathogenesis has not been explored. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to characterize how altered VMP1 expression affects NLRP3 inflammasome activation and mitochondrial function. METHODS VMP1 expression was depleted in a monocytic cell line using CRISPR-Cas9. The effect of VMP1 on NLRP3 inflammasome activation was examined by stimulating cells with LPS and ATP or α-synuclein fibrils. Inflammasome activation was determined by caspase-1 activation using both a FLICA assay and a biosensor as well as by the release of proinflammatory molecules measured by ELISA. RNA-sequencing was utilized to define global gene expression changes resulting from VMP1 deletion. SERCA activity and mitochondrial function were investigated using various fluorescence microscopy-based approaches including a novel method that assesses the function of individual mitochondria in a cell. RESULTS Here, we report that genetic deletion of VMP1 from a monocytic cell line resulted in increased NLRP3 inflammasome activation and release of proinflammatory molecules. Examination of the VMP1-dependent changes in these cells revealed that VMP1 deficiency led to decreased SERCA activity and increased intracellular [Ca2+]. We also observed calcium overload in mitochondria in VMP1 depleted cells, which was associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and release of mitochondrial DNA into the cytoplasm and the extracellular environment. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these studies reveal VMP1 as a negative regulator of inflammatory responses, and we postulate that decreased expression of VMP1 can aggravate the inflammatory sequelae associated with neurodegenerative diseases like PD.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:2054. [PMID: 38138157 PMCID: PMC10744752 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59122054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Critically ill surgical patients are susceptible to various postoperative complications, including acute kidney injury (AKI) and multiorgan distress syndrome (MODS). These complications intensify patient suffering and significantly increase morbidity and mortality rates. This study aimed to identify the biomarkers for predicting AKI and MODS in critically ill surgical patients. Materials and Methods: We prospectively enrolled critically ill surgical patients admitted to the intensive care unit via the emergency department between July 2022 and July 2023. A total of 83 patients were recruited, and their data were used to analyze MODS. Three patients who showed decreased creatinine clearance at the initial presentation were excluded from the analysis for AKI. Patient characteristics and laboratory parameters including white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil count, delta neutrophil index, urine and serum β2-microglobulin, and urine serum mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) were analyzed to determine the reliable biomarker to predict AKI and MODS. Results: The following parameters were independently correlated with MODS: systolic blood pressure (SBP), initial neutrophil count, and platelet count, according to a logistic regression model. The optimal cut-off values for SBP, initial neutrophil count, and platelet count were 113 mmHg (sensitivity 66.7%; specificity 73.9%), 8.65 (X3) (109/L) (sensitivity 72.2%; specificity 64.6%), and 195.0 (X3) (109/L) (sensitivity 66.7%; specificity 81.5%), respectively. According to the logistic regression model, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and initial urine mtDNAcn were independently correlated with AKI. The optimal cut-off value for DBP and initial urine mtDNAcn were 68.5 mmHg (sensitivity 61.1%; specificity 79.5%) and 1225.6 copies/μL (sensitivity 55.6%; specificity 95.5%), respectively. Conclusions: SBP, initial neutrophil count, and platelet count were independent predictors of MODS in critically ill patients undergoing surgery. DBP and initial urine mtDNAcn levels were independent predictors of AKI in critically ill surgical patients. Large-scale multicenter prospective studies are needed to confirm our results.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW MtDNA copy number (CN), a putative noninvasive biomarker of mitochondrial dysfunction, is associated with renal disease. The purpose of this review is to describe studies which measured human blood mtDNA-CN in the context of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and to evaluate its potential as a clinical biomarker of kidney disease. RECENT FINDINGS Following on from small scale cross-sectional studies implicating mtDNA-CN changes in diabetic kidney disease, recent large scale population studies provide compelling evidence of the association of mtDNA-CN and risk of renal disease in the general population and poor outcomes in CKD patients. SUMMARY The kidney has high bioenergetic needs, renal cells are rich in mitochondrial content containing 100s to 1000s of mtDNA molecular per cell. MtDNA has emerged as both a potential mediator, and a putative biomarker of renal disease. Damage to mtDNA can result in bioenergetic deficit, and reduced MtDNA levels in the blood have been shown to correlate with CKD. Furthermore, leakage of mtDNA outside of mitochondria into the cytosol/periphery can directly cause inflammation and is implicated in acute kidney injury (AKI). Recent large-scale population studies show the association of mtDNA-CN and renal disease and provide a strong basis for the future evaluation of circulating DNA-CN in longitudinal studies to determine its utility as a clinical biomarker for monitoring renal function.

Abstract
Epidemiological data suggest that individuals in all stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) have higher risks of developing cognitive impairment. The relationship between CKD and cognition has been assessed exclusively using glomerular function markers; however, kidney tubule injury has not been assessed. We assessed the association between urinary biomarkers of renal tubular injury and cognitive dysfunction in older patients with CKD Stages 3–4. According to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, participants were divided into cognitive dysfunction and control groups. Compared with the control group, the cognitive dysfunction group had significantly higher percentages of smokers, noticeably lower average education, and higher mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) levels in the peripheral blood. Spearman correlation analysis showed that higher urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin, kidney injury molecule-1, and beta-2 microglobulin (β2M) levels were significantly associated with lower cognitive scores. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only increased urinary β2M levels were independently associated with cognitive worsening in CKD after adjusting for confounders. Logistic regression identified a promising role of urinary β2M combined with smoking and education for predicting cognitive impairment in CKD. Urinary β2M and cognitive function negatively correlated with mtDNA content, suggesting that mitochondrial dysfunction is a common pathophysiological mechanism linking CKD and cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
With the increasing number of aged population and growing burden of healthy aging demands, a rational standard for evaluation aging is in urgent need. The advancement of medical testing technology and the prospering of artificial intelligence make it possible to evaluate the biological status of aging from a more comprehensive view. In this review, we introduced common aging biomarkers and concluded several famous aging clocks. Aging biomarkers reflect changes in the organism at a molecular or cellular level over time while aging clocks tend to be more of a generalization of the overall state of the organism. We expect to construct a framework for aging evaluation measurement from both micro and macro perspectives. Especially, population-specific aging clocks and multi-omics aging clocks may better fit the demands to evaluate aging in a comprehensive and multidimensional manner and make a detailed classification to represent different aging rates at tissue/organ levels. This framework will promisingly provide a crucial basis for disease diagnosis and intervention assessment in geroscience.
