Abstract
The mechanism of cell damage during acute pancreatitis (AP) has not been fully elucidated, and there is still a lack of specific or effective treatments. Increasing evidence has implicated mitochondrial dysfunction as a key event in the pathophysiology of AP. Mitochondrial dysfunction is closely related to calcium (Ca2+) overload, intracellular adenosine triphosphate depletion, mitochondrial permeability transition pore openings, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, mitophagy damage and inflammatory responses. Mitochondrial dysfunction is an early triggering event in the initiation and development of AP, and this organelle damage may precede the release of inflammatory cytokines, intracellular trypsin activation and vacuole formation of pancreatic acinar cells. This review provides further insight into the role of mitochondria in both physiological and pathophysiological aspects of AP, aiming to improve our understanding of the underlying mechanism which may lead to the development of therapeutic and preventive strategies for AP.

Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number, a Damage-Associated Molecular Pattern Molecule, Can Predict Pancreatic Necrosis and Is Correlated with the Severity of Acute Pancreatitis. Dig Dis Sci 2023; 68:4175-4185. [PMID: 37676630 PMCID: PMC10570179 DOI: 10.1007/s10620-023-08049-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a damage-associated molecular pattern molecule that can trigger an immune-inflammatory response during pancreatic necrosis (PN). AIM To evaluate the role of mtDNA in the detection of PN and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS The present study included 40 AP patients and 30 controls. AP patients were grouped into mild AP (MAP, n = 15), moderately severe AP (MSAP, n = 17), and SAP (n = 8). Also, the SAP + MSAP group, n = 25, was compared to MAP. AP patients were divided into NAP (n = 7) and non-necrotizing AP (n = 33). The mtDNA copy number, IL-6, and STAT3 expression levels were measured using quantitative real-time PCR. RESULTS The mtDNA, IL-6, and STAT3 levels were significantly higher in AP patients than in controls and in the SAP + MSAP than in the MAP. However, the SAP had non-significantly higher levels of mtDNA, STAT3, and IL-6 levels than the MSAP and statistically significant mtDNA, STAT3, and IL-6 when compared to the MAP. mtDNA, IL-6, and STAT3 showed significantly higher levels in NAP compared with non-necrotizing AP. mtDNA was positively correlated with STAT3, IL-6, CRP, APACHE, and CT severity index (CTSI) and negatively correlated with albumin. In the receiver operating curve (ROC), mtDNA was the most significant independent predictor of PN and MAP vs. SAP + MSAP. IL-6 and mtDNA + CRP had higher diagnostic abilities for SIRS and high CTSI. CONCLUSIONS mtDNA could enhance the prediction of NAP; however, its diagnostic ability of SAP needs further study.

Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1137609. [PMID: 37234709 PMCID: PMC10206009 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1137609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is an important mechanism of neural repair after cerebral ischemia (CI). Recent studies have shown that caveolin-1 (Cav-1) is an important signaling molecule in the process of CI injury, but its mechanism of regulating MQC after CI is still unclear. Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BHD) is a classic traditional Chinese medicine formula that is often used to treat CI. Unfortunately, its mechanism of action is still obscure. Methods: In this study, we tested the hypothesis that BHD can regulate MQC through Cav-1 and exert an anti-cerebral ischemia injury effect. We used Cav-1 knockout mice and their homologous wild-type mice, replicated middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model and BHD intervention. Neurobehavioral scores and pathological detection were used to evaluate neurological function and neuron damage, transmission electron microscopy and enzymology detection of mitochondrial damage. Finally, western blot and RT-qPCR expression of MQC-related molecules were tested. Results: After CI, mice showed neurologic impairment, neuronal damage, and significant destruction of mitochondrial morphology and function, and MQC was imbalanced. Cav-1 deletion aggravated the damage to neurological function, neurons, mitochondrial morphology and mitochondrial function after CI, aggravated the imbalance of mitochondrial dynamics, and inhibited mitophagy and biosynthesis. BHD can maintain MQC homeostasis after CI through Cav-1 and improve CI injury. Discussion: Cav-1 can affect CI injury by regulating MQC, and this mechanism may be another target of BHD for anti-cerebral ischemia injury.

Abstract
Despite the emergence of mitochondria as key regulators of innate immunity, the mechanisms underlying the generation and release of immunostimulatory alarmins by stressed mitochondria remains nebulous. We propose that the major mitochondrial alarmin in myeloid cells is oxidized mitochondrial DNA (Ox-mtDNA). Fragmented Ox-mtDNA enters the cytosol where it activates the NLRP3 inflammasome and generates IL-1β, IL-18, and cGAS-STING to induce type I interferons and interferon-stimulated genes. Inflammasome activation further enables the circulatory release of Ox-mtDNA by opening gasdermin D pores. We summarize new data showing that, in addition to being an autoimmune disease biomarker, Ox-mtDNA converts beneficial transient inflammation into long-lasting immunopathology. We discuss how Ox-mtDNA induces short- and long-term immune activation, and highlight its homeostatic and immunopathogenic functions.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) can be complicated by inflammatory disorders of remote organs, such as lung injury, in which Jumonji domain-containing protein 3 (JMJD3) plays a vital role in proinflammatory responses. Currently, we found that JMJD3 expression was upregulated in the pancreas and lung in an AP male mouse model, which was also confirmed in AP patients. Further experiments revealed that the upregulation of JMJD3 and proinflammatory effects were possibly exerted by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or oxidized-mtDNA from tissue injury caused by AP. The release of mtDNA and oxidized-mtDNA contributed to the infiltration of inflammatory monocytes in lung injury through the stimulator of IFN genes (STING)/TLR9-NF-κB-JMJD3-TNF-α pathway. The inhibition of JMJD3 or utilization of Jmjd3-cKO mice significantly alleviated pulmonary inflammation induced by AP. Blocking mtDNA oxidation or knocking down the TLR9/STING pathway effectively alleviated inflammation. Therefore, inhibition of JMJD3 or STING/TLR9 pathway blockage might be a potential therapeutic strategy to treat AP and the associated lung injury.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a prevalent clinical condition of the digestive system, with a growing frequency each year. Approximately 20% of patients suffer from severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) with local consequences and multi-organ failure, putting a significant strain on patients' health insurance. According to reports, the lungs are particularly susceptible to SAP. Acute respiratory distress syndrome, a severe type of acute lung injury (ALI), is the primary cause of mortality among AP patients. Controlling the mortality associated with SAP requires an understanding of the etiology of AP-associated ALI, the discovery of biomarkers for the early detection of ALI, and the identification of potentially effective drug treatments. Exosomes are a class of extracellular vesicles with a diameter of 30-150 nm that are actively released into tissue fluids to mediate biological functions. Exosomes are laden with bioactive cargo, such as lipids, proteins, DNA, and RNA. During the initial stages of AP, acinar cell-derived exosomes suppress forkhead box protein O1 expression, resulting in M1 macrophage polarization. Similarly, macrophage-derived exosomes activate inflammatory pathways within endothelium or epithelial cells, promoting an inflammatory cascade response. On the other hand, a part of exosome cargo performs tissue repair and anti-inflammatory actions and inhibits the cytokine storm during AP. Other reviews have detailed the function of exosomes in the development of AP, chronic pancreatitis, and autoimmune pancreatitis. The discoveries involving exosomes at the intersection of AP and acute lung injury (ALI) are reviewed here. Furthermore, we discuss the therapeutic potential of exosomes in AP and associated ALI. With the continuous improvement of technological tools, the research on exosomes has gradually shifted from basic to clinical applications. Several exosome-specific non-coding RNAs and proteins can be used as novel molecular markers to assist in the diagnosis and prognosis of AP and associated ALI.

Abstract
Previous researches have emphasized a trypsin-centered theory of acute pancreatitis (AP) for more than a century. With additional studies into the pathogenesis of AP, new mechanisms have been explored. Among them, the role of immune response bears great importance. Pro-inflammatory substances, especially damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), play an essential role in activating, signaling, and steering inflammation. Meanwhile, activated neutrophils attach great importance to the immune defense by forming neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which cause ductal obstruction, premature trypsinogen activation, and modulate inflammation. In this review, we discuss the latest advances in understanding the pathological role of DAMPs and NETs in AP and shed light on the flexible crosstalk between these vital inflammatory mediators. We, then highlight the potentially promising treatment for AP targeting DAMPs and NETs, with a focus on novel insights into the mechanism, diagnosis, and management of AP.

Abstract
The use of minimized extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) during cardiac surgery is associated with a reduced inflammatory reaction compared to conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (cCPB). Since it is unknown if MiECC also reduces the amount of free-circulating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), this study aims to compare MiECC-induced mtDNA release to that of cCPB as well as to identify potential relations between the plasma levels of mtDNA and an adverse outcome. Overall, 45 patients undergoing cardiac surgery with either cCPB or MiECC were included in the study. MtDNA encoding for NADH dehydrogenase 1 was quantified with quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The plasma amount of mtDNA was significantly lower in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with MiECC compared to cCPB (MiECC: 161.8 (65.5−501.9); cCPB 190.8 (82−705.7); p < 0.001). Plasma levels of mtDNA showed comparable kinetics independently of the study group and peaked during CPB (MiECC preoperative: 68.2 (26.5−104.9); MiECC 60 min after start of CPB: 536.5 (215.7−919.6); cCPB preoperative: 152.5 (80.9−207.6); cCPB 60 min after start of CPB: 1818.0 (844.2−3932.2); all p < 0.001). Patients offering an mtDNA blood concentration of >650 copies/µL after the commencement of CPB had a 5-fold higher risk for postoperative atrial fibrillation independently of the type of cardiopulmonary bypass. An amount of mtDNA being higher than 650 copies/µL showed moderate predictive power (AUROC 0.71 (0.53−071)) for the identification of postoperative atrial fibrillation. In conclusion, plasma levels of mtDNA were lower in patients undergoing cardiac surgery with MiECC compared to cCPB. The amount of mtDNA at the beginning of the CPB was associated with postoperative atrial fibrillation independent of the type of cardiopulmonary bypass.

Hao C, Zhang J, Zhang F, Wu J, Cao H, Wang W. Mitochondrial DNA may act as a biomarker to predict donor-kidney quality. Clin Transplant 2021; 35:e14469. [PMID: 34448256 DOI: 10.1111/ctr.14469] [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: 02/02/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Kidney transplantation is the best therapy for end-stage renal disease. Demand for kidney transplantation rises year-on-year, and the gap between kidney supply and demand remains large. To meet this clinical need, a gradual expansion in the supply of donors is required. However, clinics lack appropriate tools capable of quickly and accurately predicting post-transplant renal allograft function, and thus assess donor-kidney quality before transplantation. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a key component of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and plays an important part in ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), accelerating the progression of IRI by inducing inflammation and type I interferon responses. mtDNA is known to be closely involved in delayed graft function (DGF) and acute kidney injury (AKI) after transplantation. Thus, mtDNA is a potential biomarker able to predict post-transplant renal allograft function. This review summarizes mtDNA biology, the role mtDNA plays in renal transplantation, outlines advances in detecting mtDNA, and details mtDNA's able to predict post-transplant renal allograft function. We aim to elucidate the potential value of mtDNA as a biomarker in the prediction of IRI, and eventually provide help for predicting donor-kidney quality.

Assessment of the course of acute pancreatitis in the light of aetiology: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2020; 10:17936. [PMID: 33087766 PMCID: PMC7578029 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-74943-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
The main causes of acute pancreatitis (AP) are biliary disease, alcohol consumption, hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of these aetiological factors on the severity and outcome of AP. Pubmed and Embase were searched between 01/01/2012 and 31/05/2020. Included articles involved adult alcoholic, biliary, HTG- or post-ERCP AP (PAP) patients. Primary outcome was severity, secondary outcomes were organ failures, intensive care unit admission, recurrence rate, pancreatic necrosis, mortality, length of hospital stay, pseudocyst, fluid collection and systematic inflammatory response syndrome. Data were analysed from 127 eligible studies. The risk for non-mild (moderately severe and severe) condition was the highest in HTG-induced AP (HTG-AP) followed by alcoholic AP (AAP), biliary AP (BAP) and PAP. Recurrence rate was significantly lower among BAP vs. HTG-AP or AAP patients (OR = 2.69 and 2.98, 95% CI 1.55–4.65 and 2.22–4.01, respectively). Mortality rate was significantly greater in HTG-AP vs. AAP or BAP (OR = 1.72 and 1.50, 95% CI 1.04–2.84 and 0.96–2.35, respectively), pancreatic necrosis occurred more frequently in AAP than BAP patients (OR = 1.58, 95% CI 1.08–2.30). Overall, there is a potential association between aetiology and the development and course of AP. HTG-AP is associated with the highest number of complications. Furthermore, AAP is likely to be more severe than BAP or PAP. Greater emphasis should be placed on determining aetiology on admission.

Blood Levels of Free-Circulating Mitochondrial DNA in Septic Shock and Postsurgical Systemic Inflammation and Its Influence on Coagulation: A Secondary Analysis of a Prospective Observational Study. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9072056. [PMID: 32629885 PMCID: PMC7408641 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9072056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2020] [Revised: 06/25/2020] [Accepted: 06/26/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Major surgery is regularly associated with clinical signs of systemic inflammation, which potentially affects the rapid identification of sepsis. Therefore, this secondary analysis of an observational study aims to determine whether NADH dehydrogenase 1 (ND1) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) could be used as a potential biomarker for the discrimination between septic shock and postsurgical systemic inflammation. Overall, 80 patients were included (septic shock (n = 20), cardiac artery bypass grafting (CABG, n = 20), major abdominal surgery (MAS, n = 20), and matched controls (CTRL, n = 20)). Quantitative PCR was performed to measure ND1 mtDNA. Thromboelastography was used to analyze the coagulatory system. Free-circulating ND1 mtDNA levels were significantly higher in septic shock patients compared to patients suffering from post-surgical inflammation ({copies/µL}: CTRL: 1208 (668-2685); septic shock: 3823 (2170-7318); CABG: 1272 (417-2720); and MAS: 1356 (694-2845); CTRL vs. septic shock: p < 0.001; septic shock vs. CABG: p < 0.001; septic shock vs. MAS: p = 0.006; CABG vs. MAS: p = 0.01). ND1 mtDNA levels in CABG patients showed a strong positive correlation with fibrinogen (correlation coefficient [r]= 0.57, p < 0.001) and fibrinogen-dependent thromboelastographic assays (maximum clot firmness, EXTEM: r = 0.35, p = 0.01; INTEM: r = 0.31, p = 0.02; FIBTEM: r = 0.46, p < 0.001). In conclusion, plasma levels of free-circulating ND1 mtDNA were increased in septic shock patients and were discriminative between sepsis and surgery-induced inflammation. Furthermore, this study showed an association between ND1 mtDNA and a fibrinogen-dependent pro-coagulatory shift in cardiac surgical patients.

Pérez-Treviño P, Velásquez M, García N. Mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA escape and its relationship with different metabolic diseases. Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis 2020; 1866:165761. [PMID: 32169503 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbadis.2020.165761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 63] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2019] [Revised: 02/09/2020] [Accepted: 03/05/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
It is well-known that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can escape to intracellular or extracellular compartments under different stress conditions, yet understanding their escape mechanisms remains a challenge. Although Bax/Bak pores and VDAC oligomers are the strongest possibilities, other mechanisms may be involved. For example, mitochondria permeability transition, altered mitophagy, and mitochondrial dynamics are associated with intracellular mtDNA escape, while extracellular traps and extracellular vesicles can participate in extracellular mtDNA escape. The evidence suggests that mtDNA escape is a complex event with more than one mechanism involved. In addition, once the mtDNA is outside the mitochondria, the effects can be complex. Different danger signal sensors recognize the mtDNA as a damage-associated molecular pattern, triggering an innate immune inflammatory response that can be observed in multiple metabolic diseases characterized by chronic inflammation, including autoimmune diseases, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders. For these reasons, we will review the most recent evidence regarding mtDNA escape mechanisms and their impact on different metabolic diseases.
