Cdk8/CDK19 promotes mitochondrial fission through Drp1 phosphorylation and can phenotypically suppress pink1 deficiency in Drosophila. Nat Commun 2024; 15:3326.

Abstract
Cdk8 in Drosophila is the orthologue of vertebrate CDK8 and CDK19. These proteins have been shown to modulate transcriptional control by RNA polymerase II. We found that neuronal loss of Cdk8 severely reduces fly lifespan and causes bang sensitivity. Remarkably, these defects can be rescued by expression of human CDK19, found in the cytoplasm of neurons, suggesting a non-nuclear function of CDK19/Cdk8. Here we show that Cdk8 plays a critical role in the cytoplasm, with its loss causing elongated mitochondria in both muscles and neurons. We find that endogenous GFP-tagged Cdk8 can be found in both the cytoplasm and nucleus. We show that Cdk8 promotes the phosphorylation of Drp1 at S616, a protein required for mitochondrial fission. Interestingly, Pink1, a mitochondrial kinase implicated in Parkinson's disease, also phosphorylates Drp1 at the same residue. Indeed, overexpression of Cdk8 significantly suppresses the phenotypes observed in flies with low levels of Pink1, including elevated levels of ROS, mitochondrial dysmorphology, and behavioral defects. In summary, we propose that Pink1 and Cdk8 perform similar functions to promote Drp1-mediated fission.

Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the major causes of heart failure characterized by the enlargement of the left ventricular cavity and contractile dysfunction of the myocardium. Lipids are the major sources of energy for the myocardium. Impairment of lipid homeostasis has a potential role in the pathogenesis of DCM. In this review, we have summarized the role of different lipids in the progression of DCM that can be considered as potential biomarkers. Further, we have also explained the mechanistic pathways followed by the lipid molecules in disease progression along with the cardioprotective role of certain lipids. As the global epidemiological status of DCM is alarming, it is high time to define some disease-specific biomarkers with greater prognostic value. We are proposing an adaptation of a system lipidomics-based approach to profile DCM patients in order to achieve a better diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.

Multi-Omics Profiling of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Reveals Altered Mechanisms in Mitochondrial Dynamics and Excitation-Contraction Coupling. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054724.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is one of the most common inherited cardiomyopathies and a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults. Despite profound insights into the genetics, there is imperfect correlation between mutation and clinical prognosis, suggesting complex molecular cascades driving pathogenesis. To investigate this, we performed an integrated quantitative multi-omics (proteomic, phosphoproteomic, and metabolomic) analysis to illuminate the early and direct consequences of mutations in myosin heavy chain in engineered human induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes relative to late-stage disease using patient myectomies. We captured hundreds of differential features, which map to distinct molecular mechanisms modulating mitochondrial homeostasis at the earliest stages of pathobiology, as well as stage-specific metabolic and excitation-coupling maladaptation. Collectively, this study fills in gaps from previous studies by expanding knowledge of the initial responses to mutations that protect cells against the early stress prior to contractile dysfunction and overt disease.

Abstract
Understanding GPER biology in breast cancer is rather limited in compassion to the classic estrogen receptors. Mitochondrial dynamics play a critical role in determining cell survival and death under various microenvironmental conditions. We present evidence that GPER-induce mitochondrial fission in breast cancer cells. GPER mediated mitochondrial fission through activating Drp1 by phosphorylating S616 residue and down-regulates fusion proteins Mfn1 and Mfn2 levels. GPER-induced Drp1 activation mediated by p44/42 MAPK and inhibition of this signalling axis completely reverse the mitochondrial fission induced by GPER. Further, mitochondrial fission is required for GPER-induced cell death in breast cancer cells. To conclude, GPER induces mitochondrial fission through p44/42 MAPK - Drp1 signalling, and mitochondrial fission is critical for GPER-induced cell death in breast cancer cells. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: First time we report GPER's role in mitochondrial dynamics in cancer cells. Mitochondrial dynamics play a critical role in cancer progression including tamoxifen resistance. Exploring a detailed mechanistic understanding of GPER signalling may help to design new therapy for advanced cancers.

Abstract
Prolonged exposure to heat can lead to environment-induced heat stress (EIHS), which may jeopardize human health, but the extent to which EIHS affects cardiac architecture and myocardial cell health are unknown. We hypothesized EIHS would alter cardiac structure and cause cellular dysfunction. To test this hypothesis, 3-mo old female pigs were exposed to thermoneutral (TN; 20.6 ± 0.2 °C; n = 8) or EIHS (37.4 ± 0.2 °C; n = 8) conditions for 24 h, hearts were removed and dimensions measured, and portions of the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) were collected. Environment-induced heat stress increased rectal temperature 1.3 °C (P < 0.01), skin temperature 11 °C (P < 0.01) and respiratory rate 72 breaths per minute (P < 0.01). Heart weight and length (apex to base) were decreased by 7.6% (P = 0.04) and 8.5% (P = 0.01), respectively, by EIHS, but heart width was similar between groups. Left ventricle wall thickness was increased (22%; P = 0.02) and water content was decreased (8.6%; P < 0.01) whereas in RV, wall thickness was decreased (26%; P = 0.04) and water content was similar in EIHS compared to TN. We also discovered ventricle-specific biochemical changes such that in RV EIHS increased heat shock proteins, decreased AMPK and AKT signaling, decreased activation of mTOR (35%; P < 0.05), and increased expression of proteins that participate in autophagy. In LV, heat shock proteins, AMPK and AKT signaling, activation of mTOR, and autophagy-related proteins were largely similar between groups. Biomarkers suggest EIHS-mediated reductions in kidney function. These data demonstrate EIHS causes ventricular-dependent changes and may undermine cardiac health, energy homeostasis, and function.

Crosstalk between acetylation and the tyrosination/detyrosination cycle of α-tubulin in Alzheimer’s disease. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:926914.

Abstract
Microtubules (MTs) support a variety of neuronal functions, such as maintenance of cell structure, transport, and synaptic plasticity. Neuronal MTs are highly heterogeneous due to several tubulin isotypes and the presence of multiple post-translational modifications, such as detyrosination and acetylation. The tubulin tyrosination/detyrosination cycle is a key player in the maintenance of MT dynamics, as tyrosinated tubulin is associated with more dynamic MTs, while detyrosinated tubulin is linked to longer lived, more stable MTs. Dysfunction of tubulin re-tyrosination was recently correlated to Alzheimer’s disease progression. The implication of tubulin acetylation in Alzheimer’s disease has, however, remained controversial. Here, we demonstrate that tubulin acetylation accumulates in post-mortem brain tissues from Alzheimer’s disease patients and human neurons harboring the Alzheimer’s familial APP-V717I mutation. We further show that tubulin re-tyrosination, which is defective in Alzheimer’s disease, can control acetylated tubulin in primary neurons irrespective of the levels of the enzymes regulating tubulin acetylation, suggesting that reduced MT dynamics associated with impaired tubulin re-tyrosination might contribute to the accumulation of tubulin acetylation that we detected in Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract
This study was performed to investigate whether the toxicity of nanoparticles (Ag NPs or TiO2 NPs) affected mitochondrial dynamics (mitochondrial fusion and fission mechanisms) in testicular cells of mice. Animals were assigned into three groups (ten mice per group): control group (distilled water), TiO2 NP group (5 mg/kg per dose), and Ag NP group (5 mg/kg per dose). NPs were administered intravenously (via tail vein) to mice with 3-day intervals. To determine the possible toxic effect of NPs on mitochondrial dynamics, the expression levels of mitochondrial fission (Drp1)- and fusion (Mfn1, Mfn2, OPA1)-related genes were analyzed. The results showed that both Ag NPs and TiO2 NPs entered the testis via the blood-testis barier and accumulated in mouse testis tissue. Experiments showed that administration of Ag NPs neither alters testicular weight and testicular index nor causes significant toxic effect on sperm parameters. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that Ag NP treatment did not disrupt mitochondrial dynamics in testicular cells. Conversely, administration of TiO2 NPs (anatase, < 25 nm) decreased the sperm motility and the percentages of sperms with swollen tail. Furthermore, RT-PCR and western blot analyses showed that TiO2 NPs disrupted mitochondrial dynamics by causing excess mitochondrial fission (excess expression of Drp1 gene and DRP1 protein). This is the first report on the toxicity of nanoparticles on mitochondrial dynamics (fusion and fission mechanisms) in testicular cells.

Abstract
Innate immunity constitutes the first line of defense against viruses, in which mitochondria play an important role in the induction of the interferon (IFN) response. BHRF1, a multifunctional viral protein expressed during Epstein-Barr virus reactivation, modulates mitochondrial dynamics and disrupts the IFN signaling pathway. Mitochondria are mobile organelles that move through the cytoplasm thanks to the cytoskeleton and in particular the microtubule (MT) network. MTs undergo various post-translational modifications, among them tubulin acetylation. In this study, we demonstrated that BHRF1 induces MT hyperacetylation to escape innate immunity. Indeed, the expression of BHRF1 induces the clustering of shortened mitochondria next to the nucleus. This "mito-aggresome" is organized around the centrosome and its formation is MT-dependent. We also observed that the α-tubulin acetyltransferase ATAT1 interacts with BHRF1. Using ATAT1 knockdown or a non-acetylatable α-tubulin mutant, we demonstrated that this hyperacetylation is necessary for the mito-aggresome formation. Similar results were observed during EBV reactivation. We investigated the mechanism leading to the clustering of mitochondria, and we identified dyneins as motors that are required for mitochondrial clustering. Finally, we demonstrated that BHRF1 needs MT hyperacetylation to block the induction of the IFN response. Moreover, the loss of MT hyperacetylation blocks the localization of autophagosomes close to the mito-aggresome, impeding BHRF1 to initiate mitophagy, which is essential to inhibiting the signaling pathway. Therefore, our results reveal the role of the MT network, and its acetylation level, in the induction of a pro-viral mitophagy.

Abstract
Background Despite the positive effects of endurance training on the cardiovascular (CV) system, excessive exercise induces not only physiological adaptations but also adverse changes in CV system, including the heart. We aimed to evaluate the selected miRNAs expression based on bioinformatic analysis and their changes before and after an ultramarathon run. Materials and Methods Cardiac tissue-specific targets were identified with the Tissue 2.0 database. Gene-gene interaction data were retrieved from the STRING app for Cytoscape. Twenty-three endurance athletes were recruited to the study. Athletes ran to completion (100 km) or exhaustion (52–91 km, median 74 km). All participants completed pre- and post-run testing. miRNAs expressions were measured both before and after the race. Results Enrichment analysis of the signaling pathways associated with the genes targeted by miRNAs selected for qRT-PCR validation (miR-1-3p, miR-126, miR-223, miR-125a-5p, miR-106a-5p, and miR-15a/b). All selected miRNAs showed overlap in regulation in pathways associated with cancer, IL-2 signaling, TGF-β signaling as well as BDNF signaling pathway. Analysis of metabolites revealed significant regulation of magnesium and guanosine triphosphate across analyzed miRNA targets. MiR-1-3p, miR-125a-5p, miR-126, and miR-223 expressions were measured in 23 experienced endurance athletes, before and after an ultramarathon wherein athletes ran to completion (100 km) or exhaustion (52–91 km, median 74 km). The expressions of miR-125a-5p, miR-126, and miR-223 were significantly increased after the race (p = 0.007, p = 0.001, p = 0.014, respectively). MiR-1-3p expression post-run showed a negative correlation with the post-run levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (r = −0.632, p = 0.003). Higher miR-1-3p expression was found in runners, who finished the race under 10 h compared to runners who finished over 10 h (p = 0.001). Post-run miR-125a-5p expression showed a negative correlation with the peak lactate during the run (r = −0.576, p = 0.019). Conclusion Extreme physical activity, as exemplified by an ultramarathon, is associated with changes in circulating miRNAs’ expression related to inflammation, fibrosis, and cardiac muscle function. In particular, the negative correlations between miR-125a-5p and lactate concentrations, and miR-1-3p and hs-CRP, support their role in specific exercise-induced adaptation. Further studies are essential to validate the long-term effect of these observations.

The role of protein acetylation in regulating mitochondrial fusion and fission. Biochem Soc Trans 2021; 49:2807-2819. [PMID: 34812890 DOI: 10.1042/bst20210798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2021] [Revised: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
The dynamic processes of mitochondrial fusion and fission determine the shape of mitochondria, which can range from individual fragments to a hyperfused network, and influence mitochondrial function. Changes in mitochondrial shape can occur rapidly, allowing mitochondria to adapt to specific cues and changing cellular demands. Here, we will review what is known about how key proteins required for mitochondrial fusion and fission are regulated by their acetylation status, with acetylation promoting fission and deacetylation enhancing fusion. In particular, we will examine the roles of NAD+ dependant sirtuin deacetylases, which mediate mitochondrial acetylation, and how this post-translational modification provides an exquisite regulatory mechanism to co-ordinate mitochondrial function with metabolic demands of the cell.

Abstract
Excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have great impacts on the development of periodontitis. Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) mediated mitochondrial fission is the main reason and the result of excessive ROS generation. However, whether Drp1 and crosstalk between ROS and Drp1 contribute to the process of periodontitis remains elusive. We herein investigated the role and functional significance of crosstalk between ROS and Drp1 in periodontitis. Firstly, human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) were treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ROS inhibitor N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) or Drp1 inhibitor mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1). Cell viability, apoptosis, osteogenic differentiation, expression of Drp1, and mitochondrial function were investigated. Secondly, mice with periodontitis were treated with NAC or Mdivi-1. Finally, gingival tissues were collected from periodontitis patients and healthy individuals to evaluate ROS and Drp1 levels. H2O2 induced cellular injury and inflammation, excessive ROS production, mitochondrial abnormalities, and increased expression of p-Drp1 and Drp1 in hPDLCs, which could be reversed by NAC and Mdivi-1. Moreover, both NAC and Mdivi-1 ameliorated tissue damage and inflammation, and decreased expression of p-Drp1 and Drp1 in mice with periodontitis. More importantly, patients with periodontitis presented significantly higher levels of ROS-induced oxidative damage and p-Drp1 than that in healthy individuals and correlated with clinical parameters. In summary, ROS-Drp1 crosstalk greatly promotes the development of periodontitis. Pharmacological blockade of this crosstalk might be a novel therapeutic strategy for periodontitis.

Abstract
This review extensively reports data from the literature concerning the complex relationships between the stress-induced c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) and the four main cytoskeleton elements, which are actin filaments, microtubules, intermediate filaments, and septins. To a lesser extent, we also focused on the two membrane-associated cytoskeletons spectrin and ESCRT-III. We gather the mechanisms controlling cytoskeleton-associated JNK activation and the known cytoskeleton-related substrates directly phosphorylated by JNK. We also point out specific locations of the JNK upstream regulators at cytoskeletal components. We finally compile available techniques and tools that could allow a better characterization of the interplay between the different types of cytoskeleton filaments upon JNK-mediated stress and during development. This overview may bring new important information for applied medical research.

Abstract
Cells adjust mitochondrial morphologies to coordinate between the cellular demand for energy and the availability of resources. Mitochondrial morphology is regulated by the balance between two counteracting mitochondrial processes of fusion and fission. Fission and fusion are dynamic and reversible processes that depend on the coordination of a number of proteins and are primarily regulated by posttranslational modifications. In the mitochondria, more than 20% of proteins are acetylated in proteomic surveys, partly involved in the dynamic regulation of mitochondrial fusion and fission. This article focuses on the molecular mechanism of the mitochondrial dynamics of fusion and fission, and summarizes the related mechanisms and targets of mitochondrial protein acetylation to regulate the mitochondrial dynamics of fusion and fission in energy metabolism.

Abstract
Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved process, plays an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. It is widely believed that mitochondria influence the development of disease by regulating cellular metabolism. When challenged by different stimuli, mitochondria may experience morphological disorders and functional abnormalities, leading to a selective form of autophagy-mitophagy, which can clear damaged mitochondria to promote mitochondrial quality control. Sepsis is a complex global problem with multiple organ dysfunction, often accompanied by manifold mitochondrial damage. Recent studies have shown that autophagy can regulate both innate and acquired immune processes to protect against organ dysfunction in sepsis. Sepsis-induced mitochondrial dysfunction may play a pathophysiological role in the initiation and progression of sepsis-induced organ failure. Mitophagy is reported to be beneficial for sepsis by eliminating disabled mitochondria and maintaining homeostasis to protect against organ failure. In this review, we summarize the recent findings and mechanisms of mitophagy and its involvement in septic organ dysfunction as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Mitochondria are multifunctional organelles that not only produce energy for the cell, but are also important for cell signalling, apoptosis and many biosynthetic pathways. In most cell types, they form highly dynamic networks that are constantly remodelled through fission and fusion events, repositioned by motor-dependent transport and degraded when they become dysfunctional. Motor proteins and their tracks are key regulators of mitochondrial homeostasis, and in this Review, we discuss the diverse functions of the three classes of motor proteins associated with mitochondria - the actin-based myosins, as well as the microtubule-based kinesins and dynein. In addition, Miro and TRAK proteins act as adaptors that link kinesin-1 and dynein, as well as myosin of class XIX (MYO19), to mitochondria and coordinate microtubule- and actin-based motor activities. Here, we highlight the roles of motor proteins and motor-linked track dynamics in the transporting and docking of mitochondria, and emphasize their adaptations in specialized cells. Finally, we discuss how motor-cargo complexes mediate changes in mitochondrial morphology through fission and fusion, and how they modulate the turnover of damaged organelles via quality control pathways, such as mitophagy. Understanding the importance of motor proteins for mitochondrial homeostasis will help to elucidate the molecular basis of a number of human diseases.

Abstract
Impairment of PINK1/parkin-mediated mitophagy is currently proposed to be the molecular basis of mitochondrial abnormality in Parkinson's disease (PD). We here demonstrate that PINK1 directly phosphorylates Drp1 on S616. Drp1S616 phosphorylation is significantly reduced in cells and mouse tissues deficient for PINK1, but unaffected by parkin inactivation. PINK1-mediated mitochondrial fission is Drp1S616 phosphorylation dependent. Overexpression of either wild-type Drp1 or of the phosphomimetic mutant Drp1S616D , but not a dephosphorylation-mimic mutant Drp1S616A , rescues PINK1 deficiency-associated phenotypes in Drosophila. Moreover, Drp1 restores PINK1-dependent mitochondrial fission in ATG5-null cells and ATG7-null Drosophila. Reduced Drp1S616 phosphorylation is detected in fibroblasts derived from 4 PD patients harboring PINK1 mutations and in 4 out of 7 sporadic PD cases. Taken together, we have identified Drp1 as a substrate of PINK1 and a novel mechanism how PINK1 regulates mitochondrial fission independent of parkin and autophagy. Our results further link impaired PINK1-mediated Drp1S616 phosphorylation with the pathogenesis of both familial and sporadic PD.

Abstract
Mitochondria respond to many cellular functions and act as central hubs in innate immunity against viruses. This response is notably due to their role in the activation of interferon (IFN) signaling pathways through the activity of MAVS (mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein) present at the mitochondrial surface. Here, we report that the BHRF1 protein, a BCL2 homolog encoded by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), inhibits IFNB/IFN-β induction by targeting the mitochondria. Indeed, we have demonstrated that BHRF1 expression modifies mitochondrial dynamics and stimulates DNM1L/Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission. Concomitantly, we have shown that BHRF1 is pro-autophagic because it stimulates the autophagic flux by interacting with BECN1/Beclin 1. In response to the BHRF1-induced mitochondrial fission and macroautophagy/autophagy stimulation, BHRF1 drives mitochondrial network reorganization to form juxtanuclear mitochondrial aggregates known as mito-aggresomes. Mitophagy is a cellular process, which can specifically sequester and degrade mitochondria. Our confocal studies uncovered that numerous mitochondria are present in autophagosomes and acidic compartments using BHRF1-expressing cells. Moreover, mito-aggresome formation allows the induction of mitophagy and the accumulation of PINK1 at the mitochondria. As BHRF1 modulates the mitochondrial fate, we explored the effect of BHRF1 on innate immunity and showed that BHRF1 expression could prevent IFNB induction. Indeed, BHRF1 inhibits the IFNB promoter activation and blocks the nuclear translocation of IRF3 (interferon regulatory factor 3). Thus, we concluded that BHRF1 can counteract innate immunity activation by inducing fission of the mitochondria to facilitate their sequestration in mitophagosomes for degradation.Abbreviations: 3-MA: 3-methyladenine; ACTB: actin beta; BCL2: BCL2 apoptosis regulator; CARD: caspase recruitment domain; CCCP: carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone; CI: compaction index; CQ: chloroquine; DAPI: 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, dihydrochloride; DDX58/RIG-I: DExD/H-box helicase 58; DNM1L/Drp1: dynamin 1 like; EBSS: Earle's balanced salt solution; EBV: Epstein-Barr virus; ER: endoplasmic reticulum; EV: empty vector; GFP: green fluorescent protein; HEK: human embryonic kidney; IFN: interferon; IgG: immunoglobulin G; IRF3: interferon regulatory factor 3; LDHA: lactate dehydrogenase A; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MAVS: mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein; MMP: mitochondrial membrane potential; MOM: mitochondrial outer membrane; PINK1: PTEN induced kinase 1; RFP: red fluorescent protein; ROS: reactive oxygen species; SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1; STING1: stimulator of interferon response cGAMP interactor 1; TOMM20: translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20; VDAC: voltage dependent anion channel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cell or tissue specific background may influence the consequences of expressing the Huntington's disease (HD) mutation. Aggregate formation is known to occur in skeletal muscle, but not heart of the R6/2 fragment HD model. OBJECTIVE We asked whether aggregate formation and the expression and subcellular localization of huntingtin species was associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. METHODS We analyzed levels of soluble HTT and HTT aggregates, as well as important fission and fusion proteins and mitochondrial respiratory chain activities, in quadriceps and heart of the R6/2 N-terminal fragment mouse model (12 weeks, 160±10 CAG repeats). RESULTS Soluble mutant HTT was present in both tissues with expression higher in cytoplasmic/mitochondrial than nuclear fractions. HTT aggregates were only detectable in R6/2 quadriceps, in association with increased levels of the pro-fission factor DRP1 and its phosphorylated active form, and decreased levels of the pro-fusion factor MFN2. In addition, respiratory chain complex activities were decreased. In heart that was without detectable HTT aggregates, we found no evidence for mitochondrial dysfunction. CONCLUSION Tissue specific factors may exist that protect the R6/2 heart from HTT aggregate formation and mitochondrial pathology.

Abstract
MYO19 interacts with mitochondria through a C-terminal membrane association domain (MyMOMA). Specific mechanisms for localization of MYO19 to mitochondria are poorly understood. Using promiscuous biotinylation data in combination with existing affinity-capture databases, we have identified a number of putative MYO19-interacting proteins. We chose to explore the interaction between MYO19 and the mitochondrial GTPase Miro2 by expressing mchr-Miro2 in combination with GFP-tagged fragments of the MyMOMA domain and assaying for recruitment of MYO19-GFP to mitochondria. Coexpression of MYO19898-970 -GFP with mchr-Miro2 enhanced MYO19898-970 -GFP localization to mitochondria. Mislocalizing Miro2 to filopodial tips or the cytosolic face of the nuclear envelope did not recruit MYO19898-970 -GFP to either location. To address the kinetics of the Miro2/MYO19 interaction, we used FRAP analysis and permeabilization-activated reduction in fluorescence analysis. MyMOMA constructs containing a putative membrane-insertion motif but lacking the Miro2-interacting region displayed slow exchange kinetics. MYO19898-970 -GFP, which does not include the membrane-insertion motif, displayed rapid exchange kinetics, suggesting that MYO19 interacting with Miro2 has higher mobility than MYO19 inserted into the mitochondrial outer membrane. Mutation of well-conserved, charged residues within MYO19 or within the switch I and II regions of Miro2 abolished the enhancement of MYO19898-970 -GFP localization in cells ectopically expressing mchr-Miro2. Additionally, expressing mutant versions of Miro2 thought to represent particular nucleotide states indicated that the enhancement of MYO19898-970 -GFP localization is dependent on Miro2 nucleotide state. Taken together, these data suggest that membrane-inserted MYO19 is part of a larger complex, and that Miro2 plays a role in integration of actin- and microtubule-based mitochondrial activities.

Disturbance of mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury. Life Sci 2019; 235:116828.

Abstract
AIMS The renal tubule cells require a large number of mitochondria to supply ATP due to their high-energy demand during reabsorption and secretion against chemical gradients and result in mitochondria susceptible to disorder and injury during stress conditions. Injured mitochondria are eventually degraded by mitophagy, and disturbances in mitophagy are associated with the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) such as diabetic nephropathy and glomerulosclerosis. However, whether a disturbance in mitophagy has occurred and the role it plays in (SAKI) is still unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the key features of mitophagy and mitochondrial dynamics in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (SAKI). MAIN METHODS In this study, a murine septic AKI model induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was built; mitophagy and mitochondrial dynamics were measured in mice kidney in different time point. KEY FINDINGS The results showed that mitochondrial dynamics were characterized by fission/fusion aberrant, however more inclined to fission, and mitochondrial associated apoptosis was elevated over-time during SAKI. Furthermore, mitophagy was impaired in the later phase of SAKI, although elevated in early stage of SAKI. The results indicate that the underlying mechanisms of impaired mitophagy may associate with the cleavage of Parkin via caspases activated by NLRP3, at least partly. SIGNIFICANCE It is conceivable that this selective autophagic process and quality control machinery was impaired, leading to the accumulation of damaged mitochondria, oxidative stress, and cell death. Therefore, a targeted approach, by enhancing mitophagy during SAKI, may be a promising therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Corneal endothelium (CE) is a monolayer of mitochondria-rich cells, critical for maintaining corneal transparency compatible with clear vision. Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a heterogeneous, genetically complex disorder, where oxidative stress plays a key role in the rosette formation during the degenerative loss of CE. Increased mitochondrial fragmentation along with excessive mitophagy activation has been detected in FECD; however, the mechanism of aberrant mitochondrial dynamics in CE cell loss is poorly understood. Here, the role of oxidative stress in mitophagy activation in FECD is investigated. Immunoblotting of FECD ex vivo specimens revealed an accumulation of PINK1 and phospho-Parkin (Ser65) along with loss of total Parkin and total Drp1. Similarly, modeling of rosette formation with menadione (MN), led to phospho-Parkin accumulation in fragmented mitochondria resulting in mitophagy-induced mitochondrial clearance, albeit possibly in a PINK1-independent manner. Loss of PINK1, phospho-Drp1, and total Drp1 was prominent after MN-induced oxidative stress, but not after mitochondrial depolarization by carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone. Moreover, MN-induced mitophagy led to degradation of Parkin along with sequestration of Drp1 and PINK1 that was rescued by mitophagy inhibition. This study shows that in FECD, intracellular oxidative stress induces Parkin-mediated mitochondrial fragmentation where endogenous Drp1 and PINK1 are sequestered and degraded by mitophagy during degenerative loss of post-mitotic cells of ocular tissue.

Abstract
Mitochondria are essential dynamic organelles that ordinarily balance between fragmentation and fusion. Under stress conditions, a shift toward fragmentation or hyper-fusion is observed as a pro-survival reaction. Fragmentation of mitochondria occurs within minutes or hours after the beginning of the stress and occurs in response to a large number of stress stimuli, including those triggered by environmental contaminants. In this study, we tested whether the change in the mitochondrial phenotype, from tubular to fragmented, could be used as a potential environmental stress biomarker in cells and compared this response with the standard MTT-based viability assay. Firstly, we show that mitochondrial fragmentation induced by selected stressors not only increases with concentrations, but also correlates positively with the cytotoxicity. Secondly, we found that the mitochondrial fragmentation that occurs in the first hour of stress correlated with the viability measured after a 24-h stress, allowing the establishment of a linear relation between mitochondrial fragmentation at 1 h and the predictable associated cytotoxicity of environmental contaminants alone or in mixture. In conclusion, we have succeeded in developing a model of predictable 24 h-cytotoxicity given mitochondrial fragmentation at 1 h with a set of chemicals. This model has been successful applied to three environmental toxicants and to a set of two chemical mixtures. We thus propose that mitochondrial fragmentation is a response that could be used as an early in vitro biomarker of environmental stress for toxicants alone or in mixture.

Abstract
Matrine is a natural alkaloid isolated from the root and stem of the legume plant Sophora. Its anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects on several types of cancer have been well-documented. However, the role of matrine in regulating mitochondrial homeostasis, particularly mitophagy in liver cancer apoptosis, remains uncertain. The aim of our study was to explore whether matrine promotes liver cancer cell apoptosis by modifying mitophagy. HepG2 cells were used in the study and treated with different doses of matrine. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined by MTT assay, TUNEL staining, western blotting, and LDH release assay. Mitophagy was monitored by immunofluorescence assay and western blotting. Mitochondrial function was assessed by immunofluorescence assay, ELISA, and western blotting. The results of our study indicated that matrine treatment dose-dependently reduced cell viability and increased the apoptotic rate of HepG2 cells. Functional studies demonstrated that matrine treatment induced mitochondrial dysfunction and activated mitochondrial apoptosis by inhibiting protective mitophagy. Re-activation of mitophagy abolished the pro-apoptotic effects of matrine on HepG2 cells. Molecular investigations further confirmed that matrine regulated mitophagy via the PINK1/Parkin pathways. Matrine blocked the PINK1/Parkin pathways and repressed mitophagy, whereas activation of the PINK1/Parkin pathways increased mitophagy activity and promoted HepG2 cell survival in the presence of matrine. Together, our data indicated that matrine promoted HepG2 cell apoptosis through a novel mechanism that acted via inhibiting mitophagy and the PINK1/Parkin pathways. This finding provides new insight into the molecular mechanism of matrine for treating liver cancer and offers a potential target to repress liver cancer progression by modulating mitophagy and the PINK1/Parkin pathways.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Stem cell transplantation is a promising tool to treat burn injuries. However, the inflammatory microenvironment in damaged skin limits the efficiency of stem cell-based therapy via poorly understood mechanisms. The aim of our study is to explore the contribution and mechanism of Sirtuin-1 (Sirt1) in TNFα-mediated inflammatory stress in hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). METHODS Cellular viability was determined using the MTT assay, TUNEL staining, western blot analysis and LDH release assay. Adenovirus-loaded Sirt1 was transduced into HFSCs to overexpress Sirt1 in the presence of TNFα. Mitochondrial function was determined using JC-1 staining, mitochondrial ROS staining, immunofluorescence staining and western blotting. RESULTS Sirt1 was downregulated in response to the TNFα treatment. Additionally, TNFα stress reduced the viability, mobility and proliferation of HFSCs, and these effects were reversed by the overexpression of Sirt1. At the molecular level, Sirt1 overexpression attenuated TNFα-mediated mitochondrial damage, as evidenced by increased mitochondrial energy metabolism, decreased mitochondrial ROS generation, stabilized mitochondrial potential and blockage of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Furthermore, Sirt1 modulated mitochondrial homeostasis by activating the MAPK-ERK-Mfn2 axis; inhibition of this pathway abrogated the protective effects of Sirt1 on HFSC survival, migration and proliferation. SIGNIFICANCE Based on our results, the inflammatory stress-mediated HFSC injury may be associated with a decrease in Sirt1 expression and subsequent mitochondrial dysfunction. Accordingly, strategies designed to enhance Sirt1 expression would be an effective approach to enhance the survival of HFSCs in the inflammatory microenvironment.

Abstract
Background: Type II diabetes (T2D)-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy is closely linked to the impairment of mitochondrial function. Berberine has been shown to be a promising effect for hypoglycemia in T2D models. High glucose-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in vitro has been reported. The present study investigated the protective effect and the underlying mechanism of berberine on high glucose-induced H9C2 cell line. Methods: High glucose-induced H9C2 cell line was used to mimic the hyperglycemia resulting in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Berberine was used to rescue in this model and explore the mechanism in it. Confocal microscopy, immunofluorescence, RT-PCR, and western blot analysis were performed to evaluate the protective effects of berberine in high glucose-induced H9C2 cell line. Results: Berberine dramatically alleviated hypertrophy of H9C2 cell line and significantly ameliorated mitochondrial function by rectifying the imbalance of fusion and fission in mitochondrial dynamics. Furthermore, berberine further promoted mitogenesis and cleared the damaged mitochondria via mitophagy. In addition, berberine also restored autophagic flux in high glucose-induced cardiomyocyte injury via AMPK signaling pathway activation. Conclusion: Berberine ameliorates high glucose-induced cardiomyocyte injury via AMPK signaling pathway activation to stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis and restore autophagicflux in H9C2 cell line.

Abstract
As a highly dynamic organellar network, mitochondria are maintained as an organellar network by delicately balancing fission and fusion pathways. This homeostatic balance of organellar dynamics is increasingly revealed to play an integral role in sensing cellular stress stimuli. Mitochondrial fission/fusion balance is highly sensitive to perturbations such as loss of bioenergetic function, oxidative stress, and other stimuli, with mechanistic contribution to subsequent cell-wide cascades including inflammation, autophagy, and apoptosis. The overlapping activity with m-AAA protease 1 (OMA1) metallopeptidase, a stress-sensitive modulator of mitochondrial fusion, and dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), a regulator of mitochondrial fission, are key factors that shape mitochondrial dynamics in response to various stimuli. As such, OMA1 and DRP1 are critical factors that mediate mitochondrial roles in cellular stress-response signaling.

Abstract
Mitochondrial fission is important for the development and progression of pancreatic cancer (PC). However, little is known regarding its role in pancreatic cancer apoptosis, metabolism and migration. In the current study, the mechanism by which mitochondrial fission modifies the biological characteristics of PC was explored. MicroRNA-125a (miR-125a) had the ability to inhibit mitochondrial fission and contributed to cellular survival. Suppressed mitochondrial fission led to a reduction in mitochondrial debris, preserved the mitochondrial membrane potential, inhibited mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening, ablated cytochrome c leakage into the cytoplasm and reduced the pro-apoptotic protein contents, finally blocking mitochondria related apoptosis pathways. Furthermore, defective mitochondrial fission induced by miR-125a enhanced mitochondria-dependent energy metabolism by promoting activity of electron transport chain complexes. Furthermore, suppressed mitochondrial fission also contributed to PANC-1 cell migration by preserving the F-actin balance. Furthermore, mitofusin 2 (Mfn2), the key defender of mitochondrial fission, is involved in inhibition of miR125a-mediated mitochondrial fission. Low contents of miR-125a upregulated Mfn2 transcription and expression, leading to inactivation of mitochondrial fission. Ultimately, the current study determined that miR-125a and Mfn2 are regulated by hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1). Knockdown of HIF1 reversed miR-125a expression, and therefore, inhibited Mfn2 expression, leading to activation of mitochondrial fission. Collectively, the present study demonstrated mitochondrial fission as a tumor suppression process that is regulated by the HIF/miR-125a/Mfn2 pathways, acting to restrict PANC-1 cell survival, energy metabolism and migration, with potential implications for novel approaches for PC therapy.

Mitochonic acid 5 activates the MAPK-ERK-yap signaling pathways to protect mouse microglial BV-2 cells against TNFα-induced apoptosis via increased Bnip3-related mitophagy. Cell Mol Biol Lett 2018; 23:14. [PMID: 29636771 PMCID: PMC5887257 DOI: 10.1186/s11658-018-0081-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2017] [Accepted: 03/27/2018] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The regulation of microglial function via mitochondrial homeostasis is important in the development of neuroinflammation. The underlying mechanism for this regulatory function remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the protective role of mitochonic acid 5 (MA-5) in microglial mitochondrial apoptosis following TNFα-induced inflammatory injury. METHODS TNFα was used to induce inflammatory injury in mouse microglial BV-2 cells with and without prior MA-5 treatment. Cellular apoptosis was assessed using the MTT and TUNEL assays. Mitochondrial functions were evaluated via mitochondrial membrane potential JC-1 staining, ROS flow cytometry analysis, mPTP opening assessment, and immunofluorescence of cyt-c. Mitophagy was examined using western blots and immunofluorescence. The pathways analysis was carried out using western blots and immunofluorescence with a pathway blocker. RESULTS Our results demonstrated that TNFα induced apoptosis in the microglial BV-2 cell line by activating the caspase-9-dependent mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Mechanistically, inflammation reduced mitochondrial potential, induced ROS production, and contributed to the leakage of mitochondrial pro-apoptotic factors into the cytoplasm. The inflammatory response reduced cellular energy metabolism and increased oxidative stress. By contrast, treatment with MA-5 reduced mitochondrial apoptosis via upregulation of mitophagy. Increased mitophagy degraded damaged mitochondria, disrupting mitochondrial apoptosis, neutralizing ROS overproduction, and improving cellular energy production. We also identified that MA-5 regulated mitophagy via Bnip3 through the MAPK-ERK-Yap signaling pathway. Inhibiting this signaling pathway or knocking down Bnip3 expression prevented MA-5 from having beneficial effects on mitochondrial homeostasis and increased microglial apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS After TNFα-induced inflammatory injury, MA-5 affects microglial mitochondrial homeostasis in a manner mediated via the amplification of protective, Bnip3-related mitophagy, which is mediated via the MAPK-ERK-Yap signaling pathway.

Abstract
Mitochondria are widely recognized as fundamental organelles for cellular physiology and constitute the main energy source for different cellular processes. The location, morphology, and interactions of mitochondria with other organelles, such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), have emerged as critical events capable of determining cellular fate. Mitochondria-related functions have proven particularly relevant in neurons; mitochondria are necessary for proper neuronal morphogenesis and the highly energy-demanding synaptic transmission process. Mitochondrial health depends on balanced fusion-fission events, termed mitochondrial dynamics, to repair damaged organelles and/or improve the quality of mitochondrial function, ATP production, calcium homeostasis, and apoptosis, which represent some mitochondrial functions closely related to mitochondrial dynamics. Several neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases, have been correlated with severe mitochondrial dysfunction. In this regard, nicotine, which has been associated with relevant neuroprotective effects mainly through activation of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), exerts its effects at least in part by acting directly on mitochondrial physiology and morphology. Additionally, a recent description of mitochondrial nAChR localization suggests a nicotine-dependent mitochondrial function. In the present work, we evaluated in cultured hipocampal neurons the effects of nicotine on mitochondrial dynamics by assessing mitochondrial morphology, membrane potential, as well as interactions between mitochondria, cytoskeleton and IP3R, levels of the cofactor PGC-1α, and fission-fusion-related proteins. Our results suggest that nicotine modulates mitochondrial dynamics and influences mitochondrial association from microtubules, increasing IP3 receptor clustering showing modulation between mitochondria-ER communications, together with the increase of mitochondrial biogenesis.

Abstract
Increased endometrial stromal cell (ESC) survival and migration is responsible for the development and progression of endometriosis. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying ESC survival and migration, and limited therapeutic strategies that are able to reverse these abnormalities are available. The present study investigated the effects of zearalenone (ZEA) on ESC survival and migration, particularly focusing on mitochondrial fission and the c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase (JNK)/dynamin‑related protein 1 (Drp1) pathway. The results revealed that ZEA induced ESC apoptosis in a dose‑dependent manner. Furthermore, ZEA treatment triggered excessive mitochondrial fission resulting in structural and functional mitochondrial damage, leading to the collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential and subsequent leakage of cytochrome c into the cytoplasm. This triggered the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Additionally, ZEA‑induced mitochondrial fission decreased ESC migration through F‑actin/G‑actin homeostasis dysregulation. ZEA also increased JNK phosphorylation and subsequently Drp1 phosphorylation at the serine 616 position, resulting in Drp1 activation. JNK/Drp1 pathway inhibition abolished the inhibitory effects of ZEA on ESC survival and migration. In summary, the present study demonstrated that ZEA reduced ESC survival and migration through the stimulation of mitochondrial fission by activation of the JNK/Drp1 pathway.

Abstract
Mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1) is a selective cell-permeable inhibitor of dynamin-related protein-1 (Drp1) and mitochondrial division. To investigate the effect of Mdivi-1 on cells treated with glutamate, cerebral cortex neurons isolated from neonatal rats were treated with 10 mM glutamate for 24 hours. Normal cultured cells and dimethyl sulfoxide-cultured cells were considered as controls. Apoptotic cells were detected by flow cytometry. Changes in mitochondrial morphology were examined by electron microscopy. Drp1, Bax, and caspase-3 expression was evaluated by western blot assays and immunocytochemistry. Mitochondrial membrane potential was detected using the JC-1 probe. Twenty-four hours after 10 mM glutamate treatment, Drp1, Bax and caspase-3 expression was upregulated, Drp1 and Bax were translocated to mitochondria, mitochondrial membrane potential was decreased and the rate of apoptosis was increased. These effects were inhibited by treatment with 50 μM Mdivi-1 for 2 hours. This finding indicates that Mdivi-1 is a candidate neuroprotective drug that can potentially mitigate against neuronal injury caused by glutamate-induced excitotoxicity.
