Abstract
SCOPE Prenatal nutrition imbalance correlates with developmental origin of cardiovascular diseases; however whether maternal high-sucrose diet (HS) during pregnancy causes vascular damage in renal interlobar arteries (RIA) from offspring still keeps unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS Pregnant rats are fed with normal drinking water or 20% high-sucrose solution during the whole gestational period. Swollen mitochondria and distributed myofilaments are observed in vascular smooth muscle cells of RIA exposed to prenatal HS. Maternal HS increases phenylephrine (PE)-induced vasoconstriction in the RIA from adult offspring. NG-Nitro-l-arginine (L-Name) causes obvious vascular tension in response to PE in offspring from control group, not in HS. RNA-Seq of RIA is performed to reveal that the gene retinoid X receptor g (RXRg) is significantly decreased in the HS group, which could affect vascular function via interacting with PPARγ pathway. By preincubation of RIA with apocynin (NADPH inhibitor) or capivasertib (Akt inhibitor), the results indicate that ROS and Akt are the vital important factors to affect the vascular function of RIA exposure to prenatal HS. CONCLUSION Maternal HS during the pregnancy increases PE-mediated vasoconstriction of RIA from adult offspring, which is mainly related to the enhanced Akt and ROS regulated by the weakened PPARγ-RXRg.

Abstract
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 2 U.S. adults have hypertension, and more than 1 in 7 chronic kidney disease. In fact, hypertension is the second leading cause of kidney failure in the United States; it is a complex disease characterized by, leading to, and caused by renal dysfunction. It is well-established that hypertensive renal damage is accompanied by mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress, which are differentially regulated and manifested along the nephron due to the diverse structure and functions of renal cells. This article provides a summary of the relevant knowledge of mitochondrial bioenergetics and metabolism, focuses on renal mitochondrial function, and discusses the evidence that has been accumulated regarding the role of epithelial mitochondrial bioenergetics in the development of renal tissue dysfunction in hypertension. © 2024 American Physiological Society.

Abstract
Hypertension, a risk factor for cardiorenal disease has a huge global health impact. Hence, there is a continuous search for new therapeutic targets and putative antihypertensive ligands. This search has transcended into the realm of mitochondrial metabolism which has been reported to underline the etiology of certain diseases, including hypertension. Recently, genetic alterations in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzyme, fumarase, which converts fumarate to malate, reportedly worsened salt-sensitive hypertension. These novel expositions shifted focus into the activity of TCA in the pathogenesis of hypertension. There is now evidence to show that a mechanistic link exists between blood pressure regulation and intermediaries in the TCA cycle involving fumarate metabolism. Fumarate has been reported to mediate the actions of endogenous ligands such as nitric oxide (NO), and hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α. Similarly, there has been upregulation of protective genes such as nuclear erythroid factor 2 (Nrf2) and reduction in the expression of certain markers like kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1). There are reports of interactions with endogenous enzymes such as catalase (CAT) and renin via the activation of GPR91. Fumarate has also been shown to modulate the actions of renal ion channels and by extension, natriuresis. These actions of fumarate have conferred a reno- and cardio-protective effect in hypertension. This review evaluates the role of the TCA cycle, its mechanistic links, and significant contribution to blood pressure regulation with a view to understanding the possibility of a new pathological axis which may be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension.
