SIRT3 facilitates mitochondrial structural repair and functional recovery in rats after ischemic stroke by promoting OPA1 expression and activity. Clin Nutr 2024; 43:1816-1831. [PMID: 38870662 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2024.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 06/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Optical atrophy 1 (OPA1), a protein accountable for mitochondrial fusion, facilitates the restoration of mitochondrial structure and function following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The OPA1-conferred mitochondrial protection involves its expression and activity, which can be improved by SIRT3 in non-cerebral ischemia. Nevertheless, it remains obscure whether SIRT3 enhances the expression and activity of OPA1 after cerebral I/R injury. METHODS Mature male Sprague Dawley rats were intracranially injected with adeno-associated viral-Sirtuin-3(AAV-SIRT3) and AAV-sh_OPA1, followed by a 90-min temporary blockage of the middle cerebral artery and subsequent restoration of blood flow. Cultured cortical neurons of rats were transfected with LV-SIRT3 or LV-sh_OPA1 before a 2-h oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation. The rats and neurons were subsequently treated with a selective OPA1 activity inhibitor (MYLS22). The interaction between SIRT3 and OPA1 was assessed by molecular dynamics simulation technology and co-immunoprecipitation. The expression, function, and specific protective mechanism of SIRT3 were examined by various analyses. RESULTS SIRT3 interacted with OPA1 in the rat cerebral cortex before and after cerebral I/R. After cerebral I/R damage, SIRT3 upregulation increased the OPA1 expression, which enhanced deacetylation and OPA1 activity, thus alleviating cerebral infarct volume, neuronal apoptosis, oxidative pressure, and impairment in mitochondrial energy production; SIRT3 upregulation also improved neuromotor performance, repaired mitochondrial ultrastructure and membrane composition, and promoted the mitochondrial biogenesis. These neuroprotective effects were partly reversed by OPA1 expression interference and OPA1 activity inhibitor MYLS22. CONCLUSION In rats, SIRT3 enhances the expression and activity of OPA1, facilitating the repair of mitochondrial structure and functional recovery following cerebral I/R injury. These findings highlight that regulating SIRT3 may be a promising therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke.

[PMID: 39000044 PMCID: PMC11241570 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25136936] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Kidney diseases, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetic nephropathy, and acute kidney injury (AKI), represent a significant global health burden. The kidneys are metabolically very active organs demanding a large amount of ATP. They are composed of highly specialized cell types in the glomerulus and subsequent tubular compartments which fine-tune metabolism to meet their numerous and diverse functions. Defective renal cell metabolism, including altered fatty acid oxidation or glycolysis, has been linked to both AKI and CKD. Mitochondria play a vital role in renal metabolism, and emerging research has identified mitochondrial sirtuins (SIRT3, SIRT4 and SIRT5) as key regulators of renal cell metabolic adaptation, especially SIRT3. Sirtuins belong to an evolutionarily conserved family of mainly NAD+-dependent deacetylases, deacylases, and ADP-ribosyl transferases. Their dependence on NAD+, used as a co-substrate, directly links their enzymatic activity to the metabolic status of the cell. In the kidney, SIRT3 has been described to play crucial roles in the regulation of mitochondrial function, and the antioxidative and antifibrotic response. SIRT3 has been found to be constantly downregulated in renal diseases. Genetic or pharmacologic upregulation of SIRT3 has also been associated with beneficial renal outcomes. Importantly, experimental pieces of evidence suggest that SIRT3 may act as an important energy sensor in renal cells by regulating the activity of key enzymes involved in metabolic adaptation. Activation of SIRT3 may thus represent an interesting strategy to ameliorate renal cell energetics. In this review, we discuss the roles of SIRT3 in lipid and glucose metabolism and in mediating a metabolic switch in a physiological and pathological context. Moreover, we highlight the emerging significance of other mitochondrial sirtuins, SIRT4 and SIRT5, in renal metabolism. Understanding the role of mitochondrial sirtuins in kidney diseases may also open new avenues for innovative and efficient therapeutic interventions and ultimately improve the management of renal injuries.

Abstract
Mitochondria, the most crucial energy-generating organelles in eukaryotic cells, play a pivotal role in regulating energy metabolism. However, their significance extends beyond this, as they are also indispensable in vital life processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, immune responses, and redox balance. In response to various physiological signals or external stimuli, a sophisticated mitochondrial quality control (MQC) mechanism has evolved, encompassing key processes like mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitophagy, which have garnered increasing attention from researchers to unveil their specific molecular mechanisms. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary of the primary mechanisms and functions of key regulators involved in major components of MQC. Furthermore, the critical physiological functions regulated by MQC and its diverse roles in the progression of various systemic diseases have been described in detail. We also discuss agonists or antagonists targeting MQC, aiming to explore potential therapeutic and research prospects by enhancing MQC to stabilize mitochondrial function.

FNDC5 prevents oxidative stress and neuronal apoptosis after traumatic brain injury through SIRT3-dependent regulation of mitochondrial quality control. Cell Death Dis 2024; 15:364. [PMID: 38802337 PMCID: PMC11130144 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-024-06748-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are important mechanisms for secondary injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI), which result in progressive pathophysiological exacerbation. Although the Fibronectin type III domain-containing 5 (FNDC5) was reported to repress oxidative stress by retaining mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics, its possible role in the secondary injury after TBI remain obscure. In present study, we observed that the level of serum irisin (the cleavage product of FNDC5) significantly correlated with the neurological outcomes of TBI patients. Knockout of FNDC5 increased the lesion volume and exacerbated apoptosis and neurological deficits after TBI in mice, while FNDC5 overexpression yielded a neuroprotective effect. Moreover, FNDC5 deficiency disrupted mitochondrial dynamics and function. Activation of Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) alleviated FNDC5 deficiency-induced disruption of mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergetics. In neuron-specific SIRT3 knockout mice, FNDC5 failed to attenuate TBI-induced mitochondrial damage and brain injuries. Mechanically, FNDC5 deficiency led to reduced SIRT3 expression via enhanced ubiquitin degradation of transcription factor Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), which contributed to the hyperacetylation and inactivation of key regulatory proteins of mitochondrial dynamics and function, including OPA1 and SOD2. Finally, engineered RVG29-conjugated nanoparticles were generated to selectively and efficiently deliver irisin to the brain of mice, which yielded a satisfactory curative effect against TBI. In conclusion, FNDC5/irisin exerts a protective role against acute brain injury by promoting SIRT3-dependent mitochondrial quality control and thus represents a potential target for neuroprotection after TBI.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) persist as the predominant cause of mortality, urging the exploration of innovative pharmaceuticals. Mitochondrial dysfunction stands as a pivotal contributor to CVDs development. Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a prominent mitochondrial deacetylase known for its crucial role in protecting mitochondria against damage and dysfunction, has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for CVDs treatment. Utilizing isosteviol, a natural ent-beyerene diterpenoid, 24 derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in vivo using a zebrafish model, establishing a deduced structure-activity relationship. Among these, derivative 5v exhibited significant efficacy in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy in zebrafish and murine models. Subsequent investigations revealed that 5v selectively elevated SIRT3 expression, leading to the upregulation of SOD2 and OPA1 expression, effectively preventing mitochondrial dysfunction, mitigating oxidative stress, and preserving cardiomyocyte viability. As a novel structural class of SIRT3 activators with robust therapeutic effects, 5v emerges as a promising candidate for further drug development.

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of resveratrol on abnormal metabolic remodeling in atrial fibrillation (AF) and explored potential molecular mechanisms. An AF cell model was established by high-frequency electrical stimulation of HL-1 atrial muscle cells. Resveratrol concentrations were optimized using CCK-8 and flow cytometry. AF-induced increases in ROS and mitochondrial calcium, along with decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and mitochondrial membrane potential, were observed. Resveratrol mitigated these changes and maintained normal mitochondrial morphology. Moreover, resveratrol acted through the SIRT3-dependent pathway, as evidenced by its ability to suppress AF-induced acetylation of key metabolic enzymes. SIRT3 overexpression controls acetylation modifications, suggesting its regulatory role. In conclusion, resveratrol's SIRT3-dependent pathway intervenes in AF-induced mitochondrial dysfunction, presenting a potential therapeutic avenue for AF-related metabolic disorders. This study sheds light on the role of resveratrol in mitigating AF-induced mitochondrial remodeling and highlights its potential as a novel treatment for AF.

Excessive processing and acetylation of OPA1 aggravate age-related hearing loss via the dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics. Aging Cell 2024; 23:e14091.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of age-related hearing loss (ARHL) remains unclear. OPA1 is the sole fusion protein currently known to be situated in the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is pivotal for maintaining normal mitochondrial function. While it has already been demonstrated that mutations in OPA1 may lead to hereditary deafness, its involvement in the occurrence and development of ARHL has not been previously explored. In our study, we constructed D-gal-induced senescent HEI-OC1 cells and the cochlea of C57BL/6J mice with a mutated SUMOylation site of SIRT3 using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. We found enhanced L-OPA1 processing mediated by activated OMA1, and increased OPA1 acetylation resulting from reductions in SIRT3 levels in senescent HEI-OC1 cells. Consequently, the fusion function of OPA1 was inhibited, leading to mitochondrial fission and pyroptosis in hair cells, ultimately exacerbating the aging process of hair cells. Our results suggest that the dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics in cochlear hair cells in aged mice can be ameliorated by activating the SIRT3/OPA1 signaling. This has the potential to alleviate the senescence of cochlear hair cells and reduce hearing loss in mice. Our study highlights the significant roles played by the quantities of long and short chains and the acetylation activity of OPA1 in the occurrence and development of ARHL. This finding offers new perspectives and potential targets for the prevention and treatment of ARHL.

Abstract
Acute liver failure (ALF) results from severe liver damage or end-stage liver disease. It is extremely fatal and causes serious health and economic burdens worldwide. Once ALF occurs, liver transplantation (LT) is the only definitive and recommended treatment; however, LT is limited by the scarcity of liver grafts. Consequently, the clinical use of bioartificial liver (BAL) has been proposed as a treatment strategy for ALF. Human primary hepatocytes are an ideal cell source for these methods. However, their high demand and superior viability prevent their widespread use. Hence, finding alternatives that meet the seed cell quality and quantity requirements is imperative. Stem cells with self-renewing, immunogenic, and differentiative capacities are potential cell sources. MSCs and its secretomes encompass a spectrum of beneficial properties, such as anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-ROS (reactive oxygen species), anti-apoptotic, pro-metabolomic, anti-fibrogenesis, and pro-regenerative attributes. This review focused on the recent status and future directions of stem cell-based strategies in BAL for ALF. Additionally, we discussed the opportunities and challenges associated with promoting such strategies for clinical applications.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death and include several vascular and cardiac disorders, such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathies, and heart failure. Multiple treatment strategies exist for CVDs, but there is a need for regenerative treatment of damaged heart. Stem cells are a broad variety of cells with a great differentiation potential that have regenerative and immunomodulatory properties. Multiple studies have evaluated the efficacy of stem cells in CVDs, such as mesenchymal stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. These studies have demonstrated that stem cells can improve the left ventricle ejection fraction, reduce fibrosis, and decrease infarct size. Other studies have investigated potential methods to improve the survival, engraftment, and functionality of stem cells in the treatment of CVDs. The aim of the present review is to summarize the current evidence on the role of stem cells in the treatment of CVDs, and how to improve their efficacy.

Deng H, Chen Y, Liu H, Wang L, Xu H, Tan B, Yi Q, Wang R, He B, Tian J, Zhu J. Study of the effect of keap1 on oxidative stress in human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Mol Biol Rep 2024; 51:67. [PMID: 38170368 PMCID: PMC10764455 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-023-08997-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND HucMSCs had shown promising efficacy in treating childhood diseases, but oxidative stress induced by the poor microenvironment at the site of damage resulted in low cell survival after transplantation, thus preventing the cells from maximizing therapeutic efficacy. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of keap1 in oxidative stress injury of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSCs), and to provide theoretical support for improving the efficacy of stem cell therapy. METHODS The hucMSCs were treated with hypoxic low-sugar-free serum (GSDH) to mimic the damaged site microenvironment after implantation. Adenoviral overexpression of keap1 gene of hucMSCs was performed in vitro, and cell proliferation ability was detected by CCK8 assay, crystal violet staining assay, and cell cycle assay. Cellular redox level was assessed by Amplex Red, MDA, and GSH/GSSG kit. Mitochondrial morphology was evaluated by mitotracker Red staining. ATP production was estimated by ATP detection kit. The mRNA and protein expression levels were tested by western blotting and RT-qPCR. RESULTS GSDH treatment substantially upregulated keap1 expression. Subsequently, we found that overexpression of keap1 notably inhibited cell proliferation and caused cells to stagnate in G1 phase. At the same time, overexpression of keap1 induced the production of large amounts of H2O2 and the accumulation of MDA, but suppressed the GSH/GSSG ratio and the expression of antioxidant proteins NQO1 and SOD1, which caused oxidative stress damage. Overexpression of keap1 induced cells to produce a large number of dysfunctional mitochondria resulting in reduced ATP production. Moreover, Overexpression of keap1 significantly decreased the IKKβ protein level, while upregulating IkB mRNA levels and downregulating P50 mRNA levels. CONCLUSIONS Overexpression of keap1 may induce oxidative stress injury in hucMSCs by down-regulating IKKβ expression and inhibiting NF-κB pathway activation. This implies the importance of keap1 in hucMSCs and it may be a potential gene for genetic modification of hucMSCs.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dynamics homeostasis is sustained by continuous and balanced fission and fusion, which are determinants of morphology, abundance, biogenesis and mitophagy of mitochondria. Optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), as the only inner mitochondrial membrane fusion protein, plays a key role in stabilizing mitochondrial dynamics. The disturbance of mitochondrial dynamics contributes to the pathophysiological progress of cardiovascular disorders, which are the main cause of death worldwide in recent decades and result in tremendous social burden. In this review, we describe the latest findings regarding OPA1 and its role in mitochondrial fusion. We summarize the post-translational modifications (PTMs) for OPA1 and its regulatory role in mitochondrial dynamics. Then the diverse cell fates caused by OPA1 expression during cardiovascular disorders are discussed. Moreover, cardiovascular disorders (such as heart failure, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, cardiomyopathy and cardiac hypertrophy) relevant to OPA1-dependent mitochondrial dynamics imbalance have been detailed. Finally, we highlight the potential that targeting OPA1 to impact mitochondrial fusion may be used as a novel strategy against cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract
Ischemic cardiac injury causes irreversible muscle loss and scarring, but recent years have seen dramatic advances in cardiac reprogramming, the field focused on regenerating cardiac muscle. With SARS-CoV2 increasing the age-adjusted cardiovascular disease mortality rate, it is worth evaluating the state of this field. Here, we summarize novel innovations in reprogramming strategies, insights into their mechanisms, and technologies for factor delivery. We also propose a broad model of reprogramming to suggest directions for future research. Poet Emily Dickinson wrote, "If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain." Today, researchers studying cardiac reprogramming view this line as a call to action to translate this revolutionary approach into life-saving treatments for patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Pectolinarigenin Improves Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Mouse NSC-34 Motor Neuron Cell Lines Induced by C9-ALS-Associated Proline-Arginine Dipeptide Repeat Proteins by Enhancing Mitochondrial Fusion Mediated via the SIRT3/OPA1 Axis. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:2008. [PMID: 38001861 PMCID: PMC10669908 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12112008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is considered a fatal progressive degeneration of motor neurons (MN) caused by oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. There are currently no treatments available. The most common inherited form of ALS is the C9orf72 mutation (C9-ALS). The proline-arginine dipeptide repeat protein (PR-DPR) produced by C9-ALS has been confirmed to be a functionally acquired pathogenic factor that can cause increased ROS, mitochondrial defects, and apoptosis in motor neurons. Pectolinarigenin (PLG) from the traditional medicinal herb Linaria vulgaris has antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties. I established a mouse NSC-34 motor neuron cell line model expressing PR-DPR and confirmed the neuroprotective effect of PLG. The results showed that ROS production and apoptosis caused by PR-DPR could be improved by PLG treatment. In terms of mechanism research, PR-DPR inhibited the activity of the mitochondrial fusion proteins OPA1 and mitofusin 2. Conversely, the expression of fission protein fission 1 and dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) increased. However, PLG treatment reversed these effects. Furthermore, I found that PLG increased the expression and deacetylation of OPA1. Deacetylation of OPA1 enhances mitochondrial fusion and resistance to apoptosis. Finally, transfection with Sirt3 small interfering RNA abolished the neuroprotective effects of PLG. In summary, the mechanism by which PLG alleviates PR-DPR toxicity is mainly achieved by activating the SIRT3/OPA1 axis to regulate the balance of mitochondrial dynamics. Taken together, the potential of PLG in preclinical studies for C9-ALS drug development deserves further evaluation.

Abstract
Mitochondrial network architecture plays a critical role in cellular physiology. Indeed, alterations in the shape of mitochondria upon exposure to cellular stress can cause the dysfunction of these organelles. In this scenario, mitochondrial dynamics proteins and the phospholipid composition of the mitochondrial membrane are key for fine-tuning the modulation of mitochondrial architecture. In addition, several factors including post-translational modifications such as the phosphorylation, acetylation, SUMOylation, and o-GlcNAcylation of mitochondrial dynamics proteins contribute to shaping the plasticity of this architecture. In this regard, several studies have evidenced that, upon metabolic stress, mitochondrial dynamics proteins are post-translationally modified, leading to the alteration of mitochondrial architecture. Interestingly, several proteins that sustain the mitochondrial lipid composition also modulate mitochondrial morphology and organelle communication. In this context, pharmacological studies have revealed that the modulation of mitochondrial shape and function emerges as a potential therapeutic strategy for metabolic diseases. Here, we review the factors that modulate mitochondrial architecture.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs) are a nicotinic adenine dinucleotide (+) -dependent histone deacetylase that regulates critical signaling pathways in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Studies have identified seven mammalian homologs of the yeast SIRT silencing message regulator 2, namely, SIRT1-SIRT7. Recent in vivo and in vitro studies have successfully demonstrated the involvement of SIRTs in key pathways for cell biological function in physiological and pathological processes of the cardiovascular system, including processes including cellular senescence, oxidative stress, apoptosis, DNA damage, and cellular metabolism. Emerging evidence has stimulated a significant evolution in preventing and treating cardiovascular disease (CVD). Here, we review the important roles of SIRTs for the regulatory pathways involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and their molecular targets, including novel protein post-translational modifications of succinylation. In addition, we summarize the agonists and inhibitors currently identified to target novel specific small molecules of SIRTs. A better understanding of the role of SIRTs in the biology of CVD opens new avenues for therapeutic intervention with great potential for preventing and treating CVD.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24098112.

Abstract
Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are cells with promising applications. However, their immaturity has restricted their use in cell therapy, disease modeling, and other studies. Therefore, the current study focused on inducing the maturation of CMs. We supplemented hiPSC-CMs with fatty acids (FAs) to promote their phenotypic maturity. Proteomic sequencing was performed to identify regulators critical for promoting the maturation of hiPSC-CMs. AKAP1 was found to be significantly increased in FA-treated hiPSC-CMs, and the results were verified. Therefore, we inhibited AKAP1 expression in the FA-treated cells and analyzed the outcomes. FA supplementation promoted the morphological and functional maturation of the hiPSC-CMs, which was accompanied by the development of a mitochondrial network. Proteomic analysis results revealed that AKAP1 expression was significantly higher in FA-treated hiPSC-CMs than in control cells. In addition, increased phosphorylation of the mitochondrial dynamin Drp1 and an increased mitochondrial fusion rate were found in FA-treated hiPSC-CMs. After AKAP1 was knocked down, the level of DRP1 phosphorylation in the cell was decreased, and the mitochondrial fusion rate was reduced. FA supplementation effectively promoted the maturation of hiPSC-CMs, and in these cells, AKAP1 regulated mitochondrial dynamics, possibly playing a significant role.
