Abstract
High-altitude hypoxia exposure can lead to phospholipase D-mediated lipid metabolism disorder in spleen tissues and induce ferroptosis. Nonetheless, the key genes underlying hypoxia-induced splenic phospholipase D and the ferroptosis pathway remain unclear. This study aimed to establish a hypoxia animal model. Combined transcriptomic and proteomic analyses showed that 95 predicted target genes (proteins) were significantly differentially expressed under hypoxic conditions. Key genes in phospholipase D and ferroptosis pathways under hypoxic exposure were identified by combining Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis techniques. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showed that the differential gene sets of the phospholipase D and ferroptosis signaling pathways were upregulated in the high-altitude hypoxia group. The genes in the phospholipase D signalling pathway were verified, and the expression levels of KIT and DGKG were upregulated in spleen tissues under hypoxic exposure. Subsequently, the mRNA and protein expression levels of genes from the exogenous pathway such as TFRC, SLC40A1, SLC7A11, TRP53, and FTH1 and those from the endogenous pathway such as GPX4, HMOX1, and ALOX15 differentials in the ferroptosis signalling pathway were verified, and the results indicated significant differential expression. In summary, exposure to high-altitude hypoxia mediated phospholipid metabolism disturbance through the phospholipase D signalling pathway and further induced ferroptosis, leading to splenic injury.

Abstract
Aluminium (Al) accumulates in the spleen and causes spleen apoptosis. Mitochondrial dyshomeostasis represents primary mechanisms of spleen apoptosis induced by Al. Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) is located in the gap of the mitochondrial membrane and can be released into the nucleus, leading to apoptosis. Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)-induced putative kinase1 (PINK1)/E3 ubiquitin ligase PARK2 (Parkin)-mediated mitophagy maintains mitochondrial homeostasis by removing damaged mitochondria, but its function in AIF-mediated spleen apoptosis induced by Al is not clear. In our study, aluminium trichloride (AlCl3) was diluted in water for 90 d and administered to 75 male C57BL/6N mice at 0, 44.8, 59.8, 89.7, and 179.3 mg/kg body weight. AlCl3 triggered PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitophagy, induced AIF release and AIF-mediated spleen apoptosis. AlCl3 was administered to sixty male C57BL/6N mice of wild type and Parkin knockout for 90 d at 0 and 179.3 mg/kg body weight. The results indicated that Parkin deficiency decreased mitophagy, aggravated mitochondrial damage, AIF release and AIF-mediated spleen apoptosis induced by AlCl3. According to our results, PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy and AIF-mediated spleen apoptosis are caused by AlCl3, whereas mitophagy is protective in AIF-mediated apoptosis induced by AlCl3.

Abstract
Sepsis is a complex disease due to dysregulated host response to infection. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction leading to metabolic dysregulation are among the hallmarks of sepsis. The transcription factor NRF2 (Nuclear Factor E2-related factor2) is a master regulator of the oxidative stress response, and the NRF2 mediated antioxidant response is negatively regulated by BTB and CNC homology 1 (BACH1) protein. This study tested whether Bach1 deletion improves organ function and survival following polymicrobial sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). We observed enhanced post-CLP survival in Bach1-/- mice with a concomitantly increased liver HO-1 expression, reduced liver injury and oxidative stress, and attenuated systemic and tissue inflammation. After sepsis induction, the liver mitochondrial function was better preserved in Bach1-/- mice. Furthermore, BACH1 deficiency improved liver and lung blood flow in septic mice, as measured by SPECT/CT. RNA-seq analysis identified 44 genes significantly altered in Bach1-/- mice after sepsis, including HMOX1 and several genes in lipid metabolism. Inhibiting HO-1 activity by Zinc Protoporphyrin-9 worsened organ function in Bach1-/- mice following sepsis. We demonstrate that mitochondrial bioenergetics, organ function, and survival following experimental sepsis were improved in Bach1-/- mice through the HO-1-dependent mechanism and conclude that BACH1 is a therapeutic target in sepsis.

Abstract
Studies have shown that factors in the blood of young organisms can rejuvenate the old ones. Studies using heterochronic parabiosis models further reinforced the hypothesis that juvenile factors can rejuvenate aged systems. We sought to determine the effect of juvenile plasma-derived factors on the outcome following hemorrhagic shock injury in aged mice. We discovered that pre-pubertal (young) mice subjected to hemorrhagic shock survived for a prolonged period, in the absence of fluid resuscitation, compared to mature or aged mice. To further understand the mechanism of maturational dependence of injury resolution, extracellular vesicles isolated from the plasma of young mice were administered to aged mice subjected to hemorrhagic shock. The extracellular vesicle treatment prolonged life in the aged mice. The treatment resulted in reduced oxidative stress in the liver and in the circulation, along with an enhanced expression of the nuclear factor erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and its target genes, and a reduction in the expression of the transcription factor BTB and CNC homology 1 (Bach1). We propose that plasma factors in the juvenile mice have a reparative effect in the aged mice in injury resolution by modulating the Nrf2/Bach1 axis in the antioxidant response pathway.

Abstract
Hemorrhage control often poses a great challenge for clinicians due to trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC). The pathogenesis of TIC is not completely revealed; however, growing evidence attributes a central role to altered platelet biology. The activation of thrombocytes and subsequent clot formation are highly energetic processes being tied to mitochondrial activity, and the inhibition of the electron transport chain (ETC) impedes on thrombogenesis, suggesting the potential role of mitochondria in TIC. Our present study protocol provides a guide to quantitatively characterize the derangements of mitochondrial functions in TIC. One hundred eleven severely injured (Injury Severity Score ≥16), bleeding trauma patients with an age of 18 or greater will be included in this prospective observational study. Patients receiving oral antiplatelet agents including cyclooxygenase-1 or adenosine diphosphate receptor inhibitors (aspirin, clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor) will be excluded from the final analysis. Hemorrhage will be confirmed and assessed with computer tomography. Conventional laboratory markers of hemostasis such as prothrombin time and international normalized ratio (INR) will be measured and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) will be performed directly upon patient arrival. Platelets will be isolated from venous blood samples and subjected to high-resolution fluororespirometry (Oxygraph-2k, Oroboros Instruments, Innsbruck, Austria) to evaluate the efficacy of mitochondrial respiration. Oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos), coupling of the ETC, mitochondrial superoxide formation, mitochondrial membrane potential changes and extramitochondrial Ca2+-movement will be recorded. The association between OxPhos capacity of platelet mitochondria and numerical parameters of ROTEM aggregometry will constitute our primary outcome. The relation between OxPhos capacity and results of viscoelastic assays and conventional markers of hemostasis will serve as secondary outcomes. The association of the OxPhos capacity of platelet mitochondria upon patient arrival to the need for massive blood transfusion (MBT) and 24-hour mortality will constitute our tertiary outcomes. Mitochondrial dysfunction and its importance in TIC in are yet to be assessed for the deeper understanding of this common, life-threatening condition. Disclosure of mitochondria-mediated processes in thrombocytes may reveal new therapeutic targets in the management of hemorrhaging trauma patients, thereby leading to a reduction of potentially preventable mortality. The present protocol was registered to ClinicalTrials.gov on 12 August 2021, under the reference number NCT05004844.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microvascular leakage is proposed as main contributor to disturbed microcirculatory perfusion following hemorrhagic shock and fluid resuscitation, leading to organ dysfunction and unfavorable outcome. Currently, no drugs are available to reduce or prevent microvascular leakage in clinical practice. We therefore aimed to provide an overview of therapeutic agents targeting microvascular leakage following experimental hemorrhagic shock and fluid resuscitation. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE.com, and Cochrane Library were searched in January 2021 for preclinical studies of hemorrhagic shock using any therapeutic agent on top of standard fluid resuscitation. Primary outcome was vascular leakage, defined as edema, macromolecule extravasation, or glycocalyx degradation. Drugs were classified by targeting pathways and subgroup analyses were performed per organ. RESULTS Forty-five studies, published between 1973 and 2020, fulfilled eligibility criteria. The included studies tested 54 different therapeutics mainly in pulmonary and intestinal vascular beds. Most studies induced trauma besides hemorrhagic shock. Forty-four therapeutics (81%) were found effective to reduce microvascular leakage, edema formation, or glycocalyx degradation in at least one organ. Targeting oxidative stress and apoptosis was the predominantly effective strategy (SMD: -2.18, CI [-3.21, -1.16], P < 0.0001). Vasoactive agents were found noneffective in reducing microvascular leakage (SMD: -0.86, CI [-3.07, 1.36], P = 0.45). CONCLUSION Pharmacological modulation of pathways involved in cell metabolism, inflammation, endothelial barrier regulation, sex hormones and especially oxidative stress and apoptosis were effective in reducing microvascular leakage in experimental hemorrhagic shock with fluid resuscitation. Future studies should investigate whether targeting these pathways can restore microcirculatory perfusion and reduce organ injury following hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
Fluid resuscitation after hemorrhagic shock is a model of systemic ischemia/reperfusion injury (SI/RI), and the liver is one of the main target organs. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) can reduce hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/RI) via autophagy. However, whether remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) can alleviate the liver injury that is secondary to hemorrhagic shock and the role of autophagy in this process remain unclear. Thus, we constructed a hemorrhagic shock model in rats with or without RIPC to monitor mean arterial pressure (MAP) and investigate liver secondary injury levels via serum aminotransferase, ultrasound, HE staining and TUNEL fluorescence staining. We also detected levels of serum inflammatory factors including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELLSA), observed autophagosomes by Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and analyzed LC3, Beclin-1, p62 protein expression levels by immunohistochemical (IHC) and western blot (WB). We found that RIPC increased blood pressure adaptability, decreased lactate (Lac) and aminotransferase levels, and delayed the decrease in liver density. Levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β and apoptosis were attenuated, autophagosomes was increased in the RIPC group compared with controls. IHC and WB both revealed increased LC3 and Beclin-1 but decreased p62 protein expression levels in the RIPC group. Together, our data suggest that RIPC-activated autophagy could play a protective role against secondary liver injury following hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
Intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) delays the gut development of neonates, but effective treatment strategies are still limited. This study used newborn piglets as a model to evaluate the protective effect of polydatin (PD) against IUGR-induced intestinal injury. In total, 36 IUGR piglets and an equal number of normal birth weight (NBW) littermates were fed either a basal diet or a PD-supplemented diet from 21 to 35 days of age. Compared with NBW, IUGR induced jejunal damage and barrier dysfunction of piglets, as indicated by observable bacterial translocation, enhanced apoptosis, oxidative and immunological damage, and mitochondrial dysfunction. PD treatment decreased bacterial translocation and inhibited the IUGR-induced increases in circulating diamine oxidase activity (P = 0.039) and D-lactate content (P = 0.004). The apoptotic rate (P = 0.024) was reduced by 35.2% in the PD-treated piglets, along with increases in villus height (P = 0.033) and in ratio of villus height to crypt depth (P = 0.049). PD treatment promoted superoxide dismutase (P = 0.026) and glutathione S-transferase activities (P = 0.006) and reduced malondialdehyde (P = 0.015) and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine accumulation (P = 0.034) in the jejunum. The PD-treated IUGR piglets showed decreased jejunal myeloperoxidase activity (P = 0.029) and tumor necrosis factor alpha content (P = 0.035) than those received a basal diet. PD stimulated nuclear sirtuin 1 (P = 0.028) and mitochondrial citrate synthase activities (P = 0.020) and facilitated adenosine triphosphate production (P = 0.009) in the jejunum of piglets. Furthermore, PD reversed the IUGR-induced declines in mitochondrial DNA content (P = 0.048), the phosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase alpha (P = 0.027), and proliferation-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha expression (P = 0.033). Altogether, the results indicate that PD may improve jejunal integrity, mitigate mucosal oxidative and immunological damage, and facilitate mitochondrial function in IUGR piglets.

Abstract
Objective Microcirculatory perfusion disturbances following hemorrhagic shock and fluid resuscitation contribute to multiple organ dysfunction and mortality. Standard fluid resuscitation is insufficient to restore microcirculatory perfusion; however, additional therapies are lacking. We conducted a systematic search to provide an overview of potential non‐fluid‐based therapeutic interventions to restore microcirculatory perfusion following hemorrhagic shock. Methods A structured search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library was performed in March 2020. Animal studies needed to report at least one parameter of microcirculatory flow (perfusion, red blood cell velocity, functional capillary density). Results The search identified 1269 records of which 48 fulfilled all eligibility criteria. In total, 62 drugs were tested of which 29 were able to restore microcirculatory perfusion. Particularly, complement inhibitors (75% of drugs tested successfully restored blood flow), endothelial barrier modulators (100% successful), antioxidants (66% successful), drugs targeting cell metabolism (83% successful), and sex hormones (75% successful) restored microcirculatory perfusion. Other drugs consisted of attenuation of inflammation (100% not successful), vasoactive agents (68% not successful), and steroid hormones (75% not successful). Conclusion Improving mitochondrial function, inhibition of complement inhibition, and reducing microvascular leakage via restoration of endothelial barrier function seem beneficial to restore microcirculatory perfusion following hemorrhagic shock and fluid resuscitation.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic shock leads to whole body hypoxia and nutrient deprivation resulting in organ dysfunction and mortality. Previous studies demonstrated that resveratrol, dichloroacetate, and niacin improve organ function and survival in rats following hemorrhagic shock injury (HI). We hypothesized that a combinatorial formula that collectively promotes survival will decrease the dose of individual compounds toward effective therapy for HI. Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to HI by withdrawing 60% blood volume. NiDaR (Niacin-Dichloroacetate-Resveratrol; 2 mg/kg dose of each) or vehicle was administered following the shock in the absence of fluid resuscitation, and survival monitored. In order to study alterations in molecular mediators, separate groups of rats were administered NiDaR or vehicle along with resuscitation fluid, following HI. We observed significant improvement (p < 0.05) in survival following HI in animals that received NiDaR, in the absence of fluid resuscitation. In NiDaR treated animals that received resuscitation fluid, MAP was significantly increased compared to Veh-treated rats. HI-induced increase in systemic IL-6 levels and tissue expression of IL-6, IL-10, IL-1β, and IL-18 genes in the heart were attenuated with NiDaR treatment. NiDaR promoted autophagy following HI as demonstrated by reduced p-mTOR, increased p-ULK1 and p-Beclin. The combinatorial formula, NiDaR, reduced inflammation, promoted autophagy, and reduced doses of individual compounds used, and may be more effective in genetically heterogeneous population. In conclusion our experiments demonstrated that the combinatorial drug treatment has salutary effect in rats following HI.

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of mesenteric lymph drainage on the spleen injury and the expressions of inflammatory cytokines in splenic tissue in mice following hemorrhagic shock. METHODS Male C57 mice were randomly divided into the sham shock, shock and shock+drainage groups. The mice in both shock and shock+drainage groups suffered femoral artery bleeding, maintained mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 40±2 mmHg for 90 min, and were resuscitated. And mesenteric lymph drainage was performed in the shock+drainage group at the time of resuscitation. After three hours of resuscitation, the splenic tissues were harvested for the histological observation and protein and mRNA expression analysis of cytokines. RESULTS The spleen in the shock group revealed a significantly structural damage and increased mRNA expressions of MyD88 and TRAF6 and protein expressions of TIPE2, MyD88, TRIF and TRAF3 compared to the sham group. By contrast, the splenic pathological injury in the shock+drainage group was alleviated significantly, and the mRNA and protein expressions of TIPE2, MyD88, TRIF, TRAF3 and TRAF6 were significantly lower than those in the shock group. CONCLUSION These results indicate that post-hemorrhagic shock mesenteric lymph drainage alleviates hemorrhagic shock-induced spleen injury and the expressions of inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
The health supplement of Rhodiola crenulata (RC) is well known for its effective properties against hypoxia. However, the mechanisms of its anti-hypoxic action were still unclear. The objective of this work was to evaluate the molecular mechanisms of RC extract against hypoxia in a hypoxic zebrafish model through metabonomics and network pharmacology analysis. The hypoxic zebrafish model in the environment with low concentration (3%) of oxygen was constructed and used to explore the anti-hypoxic effects of RC extract, followed by detecting the changes of the metabolome in the brain through liquid chromatography–high resolution mass spectrometry. An in silico network for metabolite-protein interactions was further established to examine the potential mechanisms of RC extract, and the mRNA expression levels of the key nodes were validated by real-time quantitative PCR. As results, RC extract could keep zebrafish survive after 72-h hypoxia via improving lactate dehydrogenase, citrate synthase, and hypoxia-induced factor-1α in brains. One hundred and forty-two differential metabolites were screened in the metabonomics, and sphingolipid metabolism pathway was significantly regulated after RC treatment. The constructed protein-metabolites network indicated that the HIF-related signals were recovered, and the mRNA level of AMPK was elevated. In conclusion, RC extract had markedly anti-hypoxic effects in zebrafish via changing sphingolipid metabolism, HIF-related and AMPK signaling pathways.

Abstract
Several metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurological disorders are characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction followed by dysregulation of cellular energetics. Mitochondria play an important role in ATP production and cell death regulation. NLRX1, a mitochondria-targeted protein, is known to negatively regulate innate immunity, and cell death responses. However, the role of this protein in cellular homeostasis following mitochondrial injury is not well-understood. To understand the mechanisms underlying the effect of acute injury in regulating NLRX1 signaling pathways, we used an in vitro model of mitochondrial injury wherein, rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells were subjected to sodium azide treatment or glucose starvation. Both sodium azide and glucose starvation activated NF-κB and TBK1 associated innate immune response. Moreover, increased TBK1, IKK, IκB, and TRAF6 were recruited to mitochondria and interacted with NLRX1. Depletion of endogenous NLRX1 resulted in exacerbated NF-κB and TBK1 associated innate immune response and apoptosis. Our results suggest that NLRX1 participates in the regulation of innate immune response in mitochondria, and plays an important role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis following acute mitochondrial injury. We propose that the mitochondrial recruitment of inflammatory mediators and their interaction with NLRX1 are protective responses to maintain cellular homeostasis following injury.

MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a) Mediates Retinal Endothelial Cell Premature Senescence through Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Loss of Antioxidant Activities. Antioxidants (Basel) 2019; 8:antiox8090328.

Abstract
Stress-associated premature senescence (SAPS) is involved in retinal microvascular injury and diabetic retinopathy. We have investigated the role and mode of action of miR-34a in retinal endothelial cells senescence in response to glucidic stress. Human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HuREC) were exposed to glucidic stress (high glucose (HG) = 25 mM d-glucose) and compared to cells exposed to normal glucose (NG = 5 mM) or the osmotic control l-glucose (LG = 25 mM). HG stimulation of HuREC increased the expression of miR-34a and induced cellular senescence. HG also increased the expression of p16ink4a and p21waf1, while decreasing the histone deacetylase SIRT1. These effects were associated with diminished mitochondrial function and loss of mitochondrial biogenesis factors (i.e., PGC-1α, NRF1, and TFAM). Transfection of the cells with miR-34a inhibitor (IB) halted HG-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and up-regulation of senescence-associated markers, whereas miR-34a mimic promoted cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction. Moreover, HG lowered levels of the mitochondrial antioxidants TrxR2 and SOD2, an effect blunted by miR-34a IB, and promoted by miR-34a mimic. 3’-UTR (3’-untranslated region) reporter assay of both genes validated TrxR2 as a direct target of miR-34a, but not SOD2. Our results show that miR-34a is a key player of HG-induced SAPS in retinal endothelial cells via multiple pathways involved in mitochondrial function and biogenesis.

Abstract
Inflammation and cellular energetics play critical roles in organ dysfunction following hemorrhagic shock. Recent studies suggest a putative role for sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in potentiating mitochondrial function and improving organ function following hemorrhagic shock in animal models. SIRT1 is an NAD+ dependent protein deacetylase and increased availability of NAD+ has been shown to augment SIRT1 activity. As niacin is a precursor of NAD+, in this study, we tested whether niacin can improve survival following hemorrhagic shock. However niacin also mediates its biological action by binding to its receptor, hydroxyl-carboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2 or Gpr109a); so we examined whether the effect of niacin is mediated by binding to Gpr109a or by increasing NAD+ availability. We found that niacin administered intravenously to rats subjected to hemorrhagic injury (HI) in the absence of fluid resuscitation resulted in a significantly prolonged duration of survival. However, treatment of rats with similar doses of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a precursor to NAD+ that does not bind Gpr109a, did not extend survival following HI. The duration of survival due to niacin treatment was significantly reduced in Gpr109a-/- mice subjected to HI. These experiments demonstrated that the Gpr109a receptor-mediated pathway contributed significantly to niacin mediated salutary effect. Further studies showed improvement in markers of cellular energetics and attenuation of inflammatory response with niacin treatment. In conclusion, we report that Gpr109a-dependent signalling is important in restoring cellular energetics and immunometabolism following hemorrhagic shock.

Abstract
We studied the effect of oral administration of metallic silver nanoparticles to rats on the proteome of the liver microsomal fraction. Nanoparticles (5-80 nm) were administered daily to growing Wistar male rats over 92 days. Controls received pure water. To control the effect of the carrier, the rats were administered aqueous solution of a stabilizer polyvinylpyrrolidone. The protein composition (proteome) of the liver microsomal fraction was analyzed by 2D-electrophoresis with identification of variable protein spots using the high-resolution nanoHPLC-MS/MS. Eight, 6, and 8 proteins absent in the control groups appeared in the microsomal fraction under the action of nanoparticles in doses of 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/kg body weight, among these, proteasome activator complex subunit 1 (Psme1 gene), and the heat shock protein HSP60 (Hspd1 gene) were reliably identified. The consumption of silver nanoparticles led to disappearance of protein of β2a tubulin chain (Tuba1b gene) from the microsomal fraction. The expression of catalase, present in the proteome of the liver microsomal fraction in animals of all groups was significantly decreased after consumption of silver nanoparticles in doses of 0.1 and 10 mg/kg. The observed changes in the proteome are considered as manifestations of hepatotoxicity of silver nanoparticles and can be related to the antagonistic effect of silver on the status of the essential trace element selenium.

Kidney-targeted inhibition of protein kinase C-α ameliorates nephrotoxic nephritis with restoration of mitochondrial dysfunction. Kidney Int 2018; 94:280-291.

Abstract
To investigate the role of protein kinase C-α (PKC-α) in glomerulonephritis, the capacity of PKC-α inhibition to reverse the course of established nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN) was evaluated. Nephritis was induced by a single injection of nephrotoxic serum and after its onset, a PKC-α inhibitor was administered either systemically or by targeted glomerular delivery. By day seven, all mice with NTN had severe nephritis, whereas mice that received PKC-α inhibitors in either form had minimal evidence of disease. To further understand the underlying mechanism, label-free shotgun proteomic analysis of the kidney cortexes were performed, using quantitative mass spectrometry. Ingenuity pathway analysis revealed 157 differentially expressed proteins and mitochondrial dysfunction as the most modulated pathway. Functional protein groups most affected by NTN were mitochondrial proteins associated with respiratory processes. These proteins were down-regulated in the mice with NTN, while their expression was restored with PKC-α inhibition. This suggests a role for proteins that regulate oxidative phosphorylation in recovery. In cultured glomerular endothelial cells, nephrotoxic serum caused a decrease in mitochondrial respiration and membrane potential, mitochondrial morphologic changes and an increase in glycolytic lactic acid production; all normalized by PKC-α inhibition. Thus, PKC-α has a critical role in NTN progression, and the results implicate mitochondrial processes through restoring oxidative phosphorylation, as an essential mechanism underlying recovery. Importantly, our study provides additional support for targeted therapy to glomeruli to reverse the course of progressive disease.
