Abstract
Anthracycline drugs mainly include doxorubicin, epirubicin, pirarubicin, and aclamycin, which are widely used to treat a variety of malignant tumors, such as breast cancer, gastrointestinal tumors, lymphoma, etc. With the accumulation of anthracycline drugs in the body, they can induce serious heart damage, limiting their clinical application. The mechanism by which anthracycline drugs cause cardiotoxicity is not yet clear. This review provides an overview of the different types of cardiac damage induced by anthracycline-class drugs and delves into the molecular mechanisms behind these injuries. Cardiac damage primarily involves alterations in myocardial cell function and pathological cell death, encompassing mitochondrial dysfunction, topoisomerase inhibition, disruptions in iron ion metabolism, myofibril degradation, and oxidative stress. Mechanisms of uptake and transport in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity are emphasized, as well as the role and breakthroughs of iPSC in cardiotoxicity studies. Selected novel cardioprotective therapies and mechanisms are updated. Mechanisms and protective strategies associated with anthracycline cardiotoxicity in animal experiments are examined, and the definition of drug damage in humans and animal models is discussed. Understanding these molecular mechanisms is of paramount importance in mitigating anthracycline-induced cardiac toxicity and guiding the development of safer approaches in cancer treatment.

Alleviation of ischemic brain injury by exercise preconditioning is associated with modulation of autophagy and mitochondrial dynamics in cerebral cortex of female aged mice. Exp Gerontol 2023; 178:112226. [PMID: 37257699 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2023.112226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 05/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
Evidence from clinical studies and preclinical studies supports that exercise preconditioning can not only reduce the risk of stroke but also improve brain tissue and functional outcome after stroke. It has been demonstrated that autophagy and mitochondrial dynamics are involved in ischemic stroke. However, it is still unclear whether exercise preconditioning-induced neuroprotection against stroke is associated with modulation of autophagy and mitochondrial dynamics. Although age and sex interactively affect ischemic stroke risk, incidence, and outcome, studies based on young male animals are most often used to explore the role of exercise preconditioning in the prevention of ischemic stroke. In the current study, we examined whether exercise preconditioning could modulate autophagy and mitochondrial dynamics in a brain ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) model of female aged mice. The results showed that exercise preconditioning reduced infarct volume and improved neurological deficits. Additionally, increased levels of autophagy-related proteins LC3-II/LC3-I, LC3-II, p62, Atg7, and mitophagy-related proteins Bnip3L and Parkin, as well as increased levels of mitochondrial fusion modulator Mfn2 and mitochondrial fission modulator Drp1 in the ischemic cortex of female aged mice at 12 h after I/R were present. Our results could contribute to a better understanding of exercise preconditioning-induced neuroprotection against ischemic stroke for the elderly.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have confirmed that physical exercise may be beneficial for brain health, but there is little data on this among older Chinese. Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between physical exercise and cognitive impairment, and to explore the possible mechanism by which physical exercise prevents cognitive decline. Materials and methods 192 older adults with dementia, 610 older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 2,218 healthy older adults were included in the study. Through standardized questionnaires, we obtained their general demographic information (such as gender, age, education, etc.), disease-related information (hypertension and diabetes) and physical exercise information (such as whether they did physical exercise and the frequency of physical exercise, etc.). The mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were used to assess their overall cognitive function, while the Wechsler block diagram was used to assess their executive function. Moreover, 164 healthy, randomly selected older adults also underwent brain MRI scans at the same time, and the target brain regions included hippocampus, gray matter, and cerebellar cortex. Results By using stepwise multiple logistics regression analysis, we found that physical exercise was associated with both MCI (p = 0.001*, OR = 0.689, 95%CI: 0.553–0.859) and dementia (p < 0.001*, OR = 0.501, 95%CI: 0.354–0.709), independent of gender, age, education, and other factors. The results of ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of physical exercise in predicting MCI and dementia was 0.551 (p < 0.001*, 95%CI: 0.525–0.577) and 0.628 (p = 0.001*, 95%CI: 0.585–0.671), respectively. The results of partial correlation analysis showed that physical exercise was associated with left cerebellar cortex (r = 0.163, p = 0.023), right cerebellar cortex (r = 0.175, p = 0.015) and Wechsler block diagram score (r = 0.235, p = 0.011). Moreover, the results of linear regression analysis mediation model showed that physical exercise may affect Wechsler block diagram score through influencing the thickness of right cerebellum cortex, and the latter may play a partial mediation effect (indirect B = 0.001, p = 0.045). Conclusion Physical exercise might be a protective factor for mild cognitive impairment and dementia among the Chinese elderly, and there might be an association among physical exercise, executive function, and the thickness of the cerebellar cortex.

Abstract
Among the potential adverse effects of breast cancer treatment, chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) has gained increased attention in the past years. In this review, we provide an overview of the literature regarding CRCI in breast cancer, focusing on three main aspects. The first aspect relates to the molecular mechanisms linking individual drugs commonly used to treat breast cancer and CRCI, which include oxidative stress and inflammation, reduced neurogenesis, reduced levels of specific neurotransmitters, alterations in neuronal dendrites and spines, and impairment in myelin production. The second aspect is related to the clinical characteristics of CRCI in patients with breast cancer treated with different drug combinations. Data suggest the incidence rates of CRCI in breast cancer vary considerably, and may affect more than 50% of treated patients. Both chemotherapy regimens with or without anthracyclines have been associated with CRCI manifestations. While cross-sectional studies suggest the presence of symptoms up to 20 years after treatment, longitudinal studies confirm cognitive impairments lasting for at most 4 years after the end of chemotherapy. The third and final aspect is related to possible therapeutic interventions. Although there is still no standard of care to treat CRCI, several pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches have shown interesting results. In summary, even if cognitive impairments derived from chemotherapy resolve with time, awareness of CRCI is crucial to provide patients with a better understanding of the syndrome and to offer them the best care directed at improving quality of life.

Abstract
Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is a channel that opens at the inner mitochondrial membrane under conditions of stress. Sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) is a mitochondrial deacetylase known to play a major role in stress resistance and a regulatory role in cell death. This systematic review aims to elucidate the role of Sirt3 in mPTP inhibition. Electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched up to May 2020. Original studies that investigated the relationship between Sirt3 and mPTP were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data on study characteristics, methods and outcomes. A total of 194 articles were found. Twenty-nine articles, which met criteria were included in the systematic review. Twenty-three studies provided evidence of the inhibitory effect of Sirt3 on the mPTP aperture. This review summarizes up-to-date evidence of the protective and inhibitory role of Sirt3 through deacetylating Cyclophilin D (CypD) on the mPTP aperture. Furthermore, we discuss the implications of this effect in disease.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an adverse effect of neurotoxic antineoplastic agents commonly used to treat cancer. Patients with CIPN experience debilitating signs and symptoms, such as combinations of tingling, numbness, pain, and cramping in the hands and feet that inhibit their daily function. Among the limited prevention and treatment options for CIPN, exercise has emerged as a promising new intervention that has been investigated in approximately two dozen clinical trials to date. As additional studies test and suggest the efficacy of exercise in treating CIPN, it is becoming more critical to develop mechanistic understanding of the effects of exercise in order to tailor it to best treat CIPN symptoms and identify who will benefit most. To address the current lack of clarity around the effect of exercise on CIPN, we reviewed the key potential mechanisms (e.g., neurophysiological and psychosocial factors), mediators (e.g., anti-inflammatory cytokines, self-efficacy, and social support), and moderators (e.g., age, sex, body mass index, physical fitness, exercise dose, exercise adherence, and timing of exercise) that may illuminate the relationship between exercise and CIPN improvement. Our review is based on the studies that tested the use of exercise for patients with CIPN, patients with other types of neuropathies, and healthy adults. The discussion presented herein may be used to (1) guide oncologists in predicting which symptoms are best targeted by specific exercise programs, (2) enable clinicians to tailor exercise prescriptions to patients based on specific characteristics, and (3) inform future research and biomarkers on the relationship between exercise and CIPN.

Abstract
Exercise can improve cognitive impairment in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the underlying mechanisms are not clear, and the optimal exercise modes for cognitive benefits are controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity interval training (MICT) on cognitive function and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway as well as autophagy in T2DM mice. The results showed that 8 weeks of HIIT and MICT intervention could improve the spatial learning and memory ability of T2DM mice, as determined by the Morris water maze (MWM) test. Both HIIT and MICT similarly improved autophagy, as evidenced by increased Beclin1 and LC3 II/I ratios and decreased p62. Meanwhile, HIIT and MICT inhibited excessive activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in the hippocampus. HIIT induced a larger reduction in mTOR activity than MICT. This study suggests that both HIIT and MICT can alleviate cognitive decline induced by T2DM, improve autophagy in the hippocampus, and downregulate the excessive activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, with similar effects.

Abstract
Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening is critical to mitochondrial apoptosis during ischemic injury. Sirtuin 3 (Sirt3) is a mitochondrial deacetylase known to play a major role in stress resistance and cell death. Our previous studies have shown that Sirt3 activates superoxide dismutase 2 and forkhead box O3a to reduce cellular reactive oxygen species. However, it is unclear the interaction between Sirt3 and mPTP and the roles they play in ischemic stroke. We used the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model, a mouse model of stroke, to examine Sirt3 and mPTP-related protein levels. We then applied lentivirus packaged Sirt3 overexpression in HT22 cells, a mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line, to investigate the underlying mechanism. We found Sirt3 protein level was decreased in the penumbra area in MCAO mice, along with an increase in mPTP related proteins, namely voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) and adenine nucleotide translocator 1 (ANT1). Sirt3 overexpression suppressed the increase in VDAC1, ANT1 and cleaved caspase 3 that were induced by the serum and glucose deprivation (SGD) condition. Our studies suggest that ischemic injury induced mPTP opening and apoptosis by reducing Sirt3. It helps to identify new therapeutic targets for ischemic stroke.

Abstract
The nervous system disorders caused by doxorubicin (DOX) are among the severe adverse effects that dramatically reduce the quality of life of cancer survivors. Astragali Radix (AR), a popular herbal drug and dietary supplement, is believed to help treat brain diseases by reducing oxidative stress and maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Here we show the protective effects of AR against DOX-induced oxidative damage in rat brain via regulating amino acid homeostasis. By constructing a clinically relevant low-dose DOX-induced toxicity rat model, we first performed an untargeted metabolomics analysis to discover specific metabolic features in the brain after DOX treatment and AR co-treatment. It was found that the amino acid (AA) metabolism pathways altered most significantly. To accurately characterize the brain AA profile, we established a sensitive, fast, and reproducible hydrophilic interaction chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous quantification of 22 AAs. The targeted analysis further confirmed the changes of AAs between different groups of rat brain. Specifically, the levels of six AAs, including glutamate, glycine, serine, alanine, citrulline, and ornithine, correlated (Pearson |r| > 0.47, p < 0.05) with the brain oxidative damage that was caused by DOX and rescued by AR. These findings present that AAs are among the regulatory targets of DOX-induced brain toxicity, and AR is a promising therapeutic agent for it.

Abstract
Significance: The prevalence and incidence of age-related neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) tend to increase along with the enhanced average of the world life expectancy. NDDs are a major cause of morbidity and disability, affecting the health care, social and economic systems with a significant impact. Critical Issues and Recent Advances: Despite the worldwide burden of NDDs and the ongoing research efforts to increase the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in NDD pathophysiologies, pharmacological therapies have been presenting merely narrow benefits. On the contrary, absent of detrimental side effects but growing merits, regular physical exercise (PE) has been considered a prone pleiotropic nonpharmacological alternative able to modulate brain structure and function, thereby stimulating a healthier and "fitness" neurological phenotype. Future Directions: This review summarizes the state of the art of some peripheral and central-related mechanisms that underlie the impact of PE on brain plasticity as well as its relevance for the prevention and/or treatment of NDDs. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to better clarify the molecular signaling pathways associated with muscle contractions-related myokines release and its plausible positive effects in the brain. In addition, particular focus of research should address the role of PE in the modulation of mitochondrial metabolism and oxidative stress in the context of NDDs.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI) is a common detrimental effect of cancer treatment, occurring in up to 75% of cancer patients. The widely utilized chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) has been implicated in cognitive decline, mostly via cytokine-induced neuroinflammatory and oxidative and mitochondrial damage to brain tissues. C-phycocyanin (CP) has previously been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and mitochondrial protective properties. Therefore, this present study was aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of CP against DOX-elicited cognitive impairment and explore the underlying mechanisms. CP treatment (50 mg/kg) significantly improved behavioral deficits in DOX-treated mice. Furthermore, CP suppressed DOX-induced neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, mitigated mitochondrial abnormalities, rescued dendritic spine loss, and increased synaptic density in the hippocampus of DOX-treated mice. Our results suggested that CP improves established DOX-induced cognitive deficits, which could be explained at least partly by inhibition of neuroinflammatory and oxidant stress and attenuation of mitochondrial and synaptic dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Often, pressure overload-induced myocardial remodeling does not undergo complete reverse remodeling after decreasing afterload. Recently, mitochondrial abnormalities and oxidative stress have been successively implicated in the pathogenesis of several chronic pressure overload cardiac diseases. Therefore, we aim to clarify the myocardial energetic dysregulation in (reverse) remodeling, mainly focusing on the mitochondria. METHODS Thirty-five Wistar Han male rats randomly underwent sham or ascending (supravalvular) aortic banding procedure. Echocardiography revealed that banding induced concentric hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction (early diastolic transmitral flow velocity to peak early-diastolic annular velocity ratio, E/E': sham, 13.6±2.1, banding, 18.5±4.1, P=0.014) accompanied by increased oxidative stress (dihydroethidium fluorescence: sham, 1.6×108±6.1×107, banding, 2.6×108±4.5×107, P<0.001) and augmented mitochondrial function. After 8 to 9 weeks, half of the banding animals underwent overload relief by an aortic debanding surgery (n=10). RESULTS Two weeks later, hypertrophy decreased with the decline of oxidative stress (dihydroethidium fluorescence: banding, 2.6×108±4.5×107, debanding, 1.96×108±6.8×107, P<0.001) and diastolic dysfunction improved simultaneously (E/E': banding, 18.5±4.1, debanding, 15.1±1.8, P=0.029). The reduction of energetic demands imposed by overload relief allowed the mitochondria to reduce its activity and myocardial levels of phosphocreatine, phosphocreatine/ATP, and ATP/ADP to normalize in debanding towards sham values (phosphocreatine: sham, 38.4±7.4, debanding, 35.6±8.7, P=0.71; phosphocreatine/ATP: sham, 1.22±0.23 debanding, 1.11±0.24, P=0.59; ATP/ADP: sham, 6.2±0.9, debanding, 5.6±1.6, P=0.66). Despite the decreased mitochondrial area, complex III and V expression increased in debanding compared with sham or banding. Autophagy and mitophagy-related markers increased in banding and remained higher in debanding rats. CONCLUSIONS During compensatory and maladaptive hypertrophy, mitochondria become more active. However, as the disease progresses, the myocardial energetic demands increase and the myocardium becomes energy deficient. During reverse remodeling, the concomitant attenuation of cardiac hypertrophy and oxidative stress allowed myocardial energetics, left ventricle hypertrophy, and diastolic dysfunction to recover. Autophagy and mitophagy are probably involved in the myocardial adaptation to overload and to unload. We conclude that these mitochondrial reversible changes underlie diastolic function adaptations during myocardial (reverse) remodeling.

Abstract
Ultra-endurance (UE) race has been associated with brain metabolic changes, but it is still unknown which regions are vulnerable. This study investigated whether high-volume training in rodents, even under moderate intensity, can induce cerebellar oxidative and inflammatory status. Forty-five adult rats were divided into six groups according to a training period, followed or not by an exhaustion test (ET) that simulated UE: control (C), control + ET (C-ET), moderate-volume (MV) training and MV-ET, high-volume training (HV) and HV-ET. The training period was 30 (MV) and 90 (HV) min/day, 5 times/week for 3 months as a continuous running on a treadmill at a maximum velocity of 12 m/min. After 24 h, the ET was performed at 50% maximum velocities up to the animals refused to run, and then serum lactate levels were evaluated. Serum and cerebellar homogenates were obtained 24 h after ET. Serum creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and corticosterone levels were assessed. Lipid peroxidation (LP), nitric oxide (NO), Interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and GFAP proteins, reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH and GSSG) levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were quantified in the cerebellum. Serum lactate concentrations were lower in MV-ET (∼20%) and HV-ET (∼40%) compared to the C-ET group. CK and corticosterone levels were increased more than ∼ twofold by HV training compared to control. ET increased CK levels in MV-ET vs. MV group (P = 0.026). HV induced higher LP levels (∼40%), but an additive effect of ET was only seen in the MV-ET group (P = 0.02). SOD activity was higher in all trained groups vs. C and C-ET (P < 0.05). CAT activity, however, was intensified only in the MV group (P < 0.02). The 50 kDa GFAP levels were enhanced in C-ET and MV-ET vs. respective controls, while 42 kDa (∼40%) and 39 kDa (∼26%) isoform levels were reduced. In the HV-ET group, the 50 KDa isoform amount was reduced ∼40-60% compared to the other groups and the 39 KDa isoform, increased sevenfold. LDH levels, GSH/GSSG ratio, and NO production were not modified. ET elevated IL-1β levels in the CT and MV groups. Data shows that cerebellar resilience to oxidative damage may be maintained under moderate-volume training, but it is reduced by UE running. High-volume training per se provoked systemic metabolic changes, cerebellar lipid peroxidation, and unbalanced enzymatic antioxidant resource. UE after high-volume training modified the GFAP isoform profile suggesting impaired astrocyte reactivity in the cerebellum.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine the role of sirtuin 3 (Sirt3)‑autophagy in regulating myocardial energy metabolism and inhibiting myocardial hypertrophy in angiotensin (Ang) II‑induced myocardial cell hypertrophy. The primary cultured myocardial cells of neonatal Sprague Dawley rats were used to construct a myocardial hypertrophy model induced with Ang II. Following the activation of Sirt3 by resveratrol (Res), Sirt3 was silenced using small interfering (si)RNA‑Sirt3, and the morphology of the myocardial cells was observed under an optical microscope. Reverse transcription‑polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the mRNA expression of the following myocardial hypertrophy markers; atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), Sirt3, medium‑chain acyl‑CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) and pyruvate kinase (PK). Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expression of Sirt3, light chain 3 (LC3) and Beclin1. Ang II may inhibit the protein expression of Sirt3, LC3 and Beclin1. Res, an agonist of Sirt3, may promote the protein expression of Sirt3, LC3 and Beclin1. Res inhibited the mRNA expression of ANP and BNP, and reversed the Ang II‑induced myocardial cell hypertrophy. The addition of siRNA‑Sirt3 decreased the protein expression of Sirt3, LC3 and Beclin1, increased the mRNA expression of ANP and BNP, and weakened the inhibitory effect of Res on myocardial cell hypertrophy. Res promoted the mRNA expression of MCAD, inhibited the mRNA expression of PK, and reversed the influence of Ang II on myocardial energy metabolism. siRNA‑Sirt3 intervention significantly decreased the effect of Res in eliminating abnormal myocardial energy metabolism. In conclusion, Sirt3 may inhibit Ang II‑induced myocardial hypertrophy and reverse the Ang II‑caused abnormal myocardial energy metabolism through activation of autophagy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the beneficial effect of swimming exercise on autophagy and atherosclerosis in mice aorta, so as to clarify the possible causal relationship between autophagy activation and atherosclerosis. METHODS The body weight was monitored regularly. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Oil Red O staining was conducted to observe vascular morphology and plaque burden respectively. The levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) was examined via Enzyme-linked immu-nosorbent assays (ELISA). The mRNA expression level of autophagy markers, including LC3 and Beclin-1, was examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expressions of LC3-II/LC3-I and Beclin-1 are detected by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Compared with the model group, long-term swimming exercise decreased the weight gain of ApoE-/- mice, improved the structural disorder of artery, reduced the load of atherosclerotic lesion, and attenuated the concentrations of serum TC, TG, sICAM-1, MMP-9, and IL-6. In addition, the expression of autophagy markers LC3 and Beclin-1 increased significantly at the mRNA and protein levels. CONCLUSION Long-term swimming exercise could activate the autophagy and reduce atherosclerotic lesion in the aorta of ApoE-/- mice. Autophagy activation may be one of the mechanisms by which atherosclerosis is improved through exercise.

[PMID: 32125561 DOI: 10.1007/s11064-020-03003-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2019] [Revised: 02/24/2020] [Accepted: 02/26/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which may be related to mitophagy failure. Previous reports suggest that treadmill exercise protects against mitochondrial dysfunction in AD. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between mitophagy and mitochondrial adaptation caused by treadmill exercise in AD. The current study aimed to investigate whether exercise-ameliorated AD is associated with changes in mitophagy activity. Both Wild-type and APP/PS1 transgenic mice were divided into sedentary (WTC and ADC) and exercise (WTE and ADE) groups (n = 9 for each group). WTE and ADE mice were subjected to treadmill exercise for 12 weeks, followed by evaluating the effect of treadmill exercise on learning and memory ability, Aβ plaques, mitochondrial Aβ peptide level, synaptic activity and mitochondrial function. Meanwhile, mitophagy-related proteins PINK1, Parkin, LC3II and P62 were measured in the hippocampal mitochondrial fractions. The results indicated that exercise not only restored learning and memory ability, but also reduced Aβ plaque area, mitochondrial Aβ peptide level, and increased levels of synaptic markers SYN and GAP43, as well as reversed mitochondrial dysfunction (defective mitochondrial ultrastructure, decreased PGC-1α, TFAM and ATP levels) in APP/PS1 transgenic mice. Moreover, exercise increased mitophagy activity as evidenced by a significant decrease in levels of P62 and PINK1 as well as an increase in levels of LC3II and Parkin in ADE mice. These findings suggest that treadmill exercise can enhance mitophagy activity in the hippocampus, which is efficient in ameliorating pathological phenotypes of APP/PS1 transgenic mice.

Endothelial-specific deficiency of megalin in the brain protects mice against high-fat diet challenge. J Neuroinflammation 2020; 17:22. [PMID: 31937343 PMCID: PMC6961312 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-020-1702-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2019] [Accepted: 01/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The increasing risk of obesity and diabetes among other metabolic disorders are the consequence of shifts in dietary patterns with high caloric-content food intake. We previously reported that megalin regulates energy homeostasis using blood-brain barrier (BBB) endothelial megalin-deficient (EMD) mice, since these animals developed obesity and metabolic syndrome upon normal chow diet administration. Obesity in mid-life appears to be related to greater dementia risk and represents an increasing global health issue. We demonstrated that EMD phenotype induced impaired learning ability and recognition memory, neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, reduced neurogenesis, and mitochondrial deregulation associated with higher mitochondrial mass in cortical tissues. METHODS EMD mice were subjected to normal chow and high-fat diet (HFD) for 14 weeks and metabolic changes were evaluated. RESULTS Surprisingly, BBB megalin deficiency protected against HFD-induced obesity improving glucose tolerance and preventing hepatic steatosis. Compared to wild type (wt), the brain cortex in EMD mice showed increased levels of the mitochondrial biogenesis regulator, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), a thermogenic protein involved in the regulation of energy metabolism. This agreed with the previously found increased mitochondrial mass in the transgenic mice. Upon HFD challenge, we demonstrated these two proteins were found elevated in wt mice but reported no changes over the already increased levels in EMD animals. CONCLUSION We propose a protective role for megalin on diet-induce obesity, suggesting this could be related to metabolic disturbances found in dementia through brain endocrine system communications.

Physical exercise and liver "fitness": Role of mitochondrial function and epigenetics-related mechanisms in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Mol Metab 2019; 32:1-14. [PMID: 32029220 PMCID: PMC6931125 DOI: 10.1016/j.molmet.2019.11.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 46] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2019] [Revised: 11/19/2019] [Accepted: 11/22/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Modern lifestyles, especially high-caloric intake and physical inactivity, contribute to the increased prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which becomes a significant health problem worldwide. Lifestyle changes, however, affect not only parental generation, but also their offspring, reinforcing the need for efficient preventive approaches to deal with this disease. This transgenerational influence of phenotypes dependent on parents (particularly maternal) behaviours may open additional research avenues. Despite persistent attempts to design an effective pharmacological therapy against NAFLD, physical activity, as a non-pharmacological approach, emerges as an exciting strategy. SCOPE OF REVIEW Here we briefly review the effect of physical exercise on liver mitochondria adaptations in NAFLD, highlighting the importance of mitochondrial metabolism and transgenerational and epigenetic mechanisms in liver diseases. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS A deeper look into cellular mechanisms sheds a light on possible effects of physical activity in the prevention and treatment of NAFLD through modulation of function and structure of particular organelles, namely mitochondria. Additionally, despite of increasing evidence regarding the contribution of epigenetic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of different diseases, the role of microRNAs, DNA methylation, and histone modification in NAFLD pathogenesis still needs to be elucidated.

Self-Paced Free-Running Wheel Mimics High-Intensity Interval Training Impact on Rats' Functional, Physiological, Biochemical, and Morphological Features. Front Physiol 2019; 10:593. [PMID: 31139096 PMCID: PMC6527817 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2019.00593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2018] [Accepted: 04/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Free-running wheel (FRW) is an animal exercise model that relies on high-intensity interval moments interspersed with low-intensity or pauses apparently similar to those performed in high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Therefore, this study, conducted over a 12-weeks period, aimed to compare functional, thermographic, biochemical and morphological skeletal and cardiac muscle adaptations induced by FRW and HIIT. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were assigned into three groups: sedentary rats (SED), rats that voluntarily exercise in free wheels (FRW) and rats submitted to a daily HIIT. Functional tests revealed that compared to SED both FRW and HIIT increased the ability to perform maximal workload tests (MWT-cm/s) (45 ± 1 vs. 55 ± 2 and vs. 65 ± 2). Regarding thermographic assays, FRW and HIIT increased the ability to lose heat through the tail during MWT. Histochemical analyzes performed in tibialis anterior (TA) and soleus (SOL) muscles showed a general adaptation toward a more oxidative phenotype in both FRW and HIIT. Exercise increased the percentage of fast oxidative glycolytic (FOG) in medial fields of TA (29.7 ± 2.3 vs. 44.9 ± 4.4 and vs. 45.2 ± 5.3) and slow oxidative (SO) in SOL (73.4 ± 5.7 vs. 99.5 ± 0.5 and vs. 96.4 ± 1.2). HITT decreased fiber cross-sectional area (FCSA-μm2) of SO (4350 ± 286.9 vs. 4893 ± 325 and vs. 3621 ± 237.3) in SOL. Fast glycolytic fibers were bigger across all the TA muscle in FRW and HIIT groups. The FCSA decrease in FOG fibers was accompanied by a circularity decrease of SO from SOL fibers (0.840 ± 0.005 vs. 0.783 ± 0.016 and vs. 0.788 ± 0.010), and a fiber and global field capillarization increase in both FRW and HIIT protocols. Moreover, FRW and HIIT animals exhibited increased cardiac mitochondrial respiratory control ratio with complex I-driven substrates (3.89 ± 0.14 vs. 5.20 ± 0.25 and vs. 5.42 ± 0.37). Data suggest that FRW induces significant functional, physiological, and biochemical adaptations similar to those obtained under an intermittent forced exercise regimen, such as HIIT.

Abstract
In understanding the pathology of neurological diseases, the role played by brain energy metabolism is gaining prominence. Animal models have demonstrated that regular physical exercise improves brain energy metabolism while also providing antidepressant, anxiolytic, antioxidant and neuroprotective functions. This review summarizes the latest evidence on the roles played by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) and mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UCP) in this scenario. The beneficial effects of exercise seem to depend on crosstalk between muscles and nervous tissue through the increased release of muscle irisin during exercise.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common aging-related progressive neurodegenerative disorders, and can result in great suffering for a large portion of the aged population. Although the pathogenesis of AD is being elucidated, the exact mechanisms are still unclear, thereby impeding the development of effective drugs, supplements, and other interventional strategies for AD. In recent years, impaired autophagy associated with microRNA (miRNA) dysfunction has been reported to be involved in aging and aging-related neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, miRNA-mediated regulation for the functional status of autophagy may become one of the potent interventional strategies for AD. Mounting evidence from in vivo AD models has demonstrated that physical activity can exert a neuroprotective role in AD. In addition, autophagy is strictly regulated by the mTOR signaling pathway. In this article, the regulation of the functional status of autophagy through the mTOR signaling pathway during physical activity is systematically discussed for the prevention and treatment of AD. This concept will be beneficial to developing novel and effective targets that can create a direct link between pharmacological intervention and AD in the future.

Abstract
Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple muscular diseases, including sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM), the most common aging-related muscle disease. However, the factors causing mitochondrial dysfunction in s-IBM are unknown. Objective: We hypothesized that resistance exercise (RE) may alleviate muscle impairment by improving mitochondrial function via reducing amyloid-beta (Aβ) accumulation. Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomized to a saline-injection control group (sham, n = 8), a chloroquine (CQ) control group (CQ-CON, n = 8), and a CQ plus RE group (CQ-RE, n = 8) in which rats climbed a ladder with weight attached to their tails 9 weeks after starting CQ treatment. Results: RE markedly inhibited soleus muscle atrophy and muscle damage. RE reduced CQ-induced Aβ accumulation, which resulted in decreased formation of rimmed vacuoles and mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis. Most importantly, the decreased Aβ accumulation improved both mitochondrial quality control (MQC) through increased mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy, and mitochondrial dynamics. Furthermore, RE-mediated reduction of Aβ accumulation elevated mitochondrial oxidative capacity by upregulating superoxide dismutase-2, catalase, and citrate synthase via activating sirtuin 3 signaling. Conclusion: RE enhances mitochondrial function by improving MQC and mitochondrial oxidative capacity via reducing Aβ accumulation, thereby inhibiting CQ-induced muscle impairment, in a rat model of s-IBM.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox) is an effective anti-cancer agent, whose clinical use is limited by the cytotoxicity in non-target tissues, especially the heart and brain. The drug-induced neuronal damage is primarily mediated by oxidative stress, in which autophagy plays a central role. Although numerous studies indicate the involvement of autophagy in neurodegenerative diseases and brain injury, the evidence concerning autophagic process in Dox-induced neuronal death is limited. We found that repeated Dox administration induced the protein expression of LC3II and P62 and impaired autophagic flux with enhanced autophagasome accumulation in rat hippocampus, whereas two weeks after the cessation of Dox treatment, the autophagic process was restored, even stimulated, with normalized protein levels of LC3II and P62 and enhanced expression of Becline-1, indicating a compensatory response in the recovery state. Likewise, while repeated Dox exposure inhibited the hippocampal expression of lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2) and cathepsin D (CTSD), and suppressed CTSD activity, the Dox-induced impaired autophagy-lysosome pathway was also restored in rats following two weeks of recovery. To further verify the role of autophagy, the autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenine (3-MA), was administrated daily for the two weeks of recovery period. Our data demonstrated that while the animals in the recovery state showed a significant trend to decreased oxidative damage, normalized antioxidative system and ameliorated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress compared with Dox-induced toxic model, 3-MA treatment abrogated the recovering process, resulting in sustained oxidative and ER stress and neuronal apoptosis. Collectively, the present study firstly provided the evidence for the involvement of autophagy in both development and recovery of Dox-induced neurotoxicity, highlighting a novel target for mitigating the chemotherapy-induced neuronal damage.

Abstract
Dysfunction of mitophagy, which is a selective degradation of defective mitochondria for quality control, is known to be implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, how treadmill exercise (TE) regulates mitophagy-related molecules in PD remains to be elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate how TE regulates α-synuclein (α-syn)-induced neurotoxicity and mitophagy-related molecules in the nigro-striatal region of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-mice. Our data showed that TE exhibited a significant restoration of tyrosine hydroxylase and motor coordination with suppression of α-syn expression, hallmarks of PD, possibly via up-regulation of lysosomal degradation molecules, LAMP-2 and cathepsin L, with down-regulation of p62, LC3-II/LC3-I ratio, PINK1 and parkin in the substantia nigra of MPTP mice. Therefore, these results suggest that treadmill exercise can be used as a non-invasive intervention to improve the pathological features and maintain a healthier mitochondrial network through appropriate elimination of defective mitochondria in PD.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-breast cancer effects of polyphyllin I, a natural compound extracted from Paris polyphylla rhizomes, are not fully understood. In the present study, we found that polyphyllin I induces mitochondrial translocation of DRP1 by dephosphorylating DRP1 at Ser637, leading to mitochondrial fission, cytochrome c release from mitochondria into the cytosol and, ultimately apoptosis. Polyphyllin I also increased the stabilization of full-length PINK1 at the mitochondrial surface, leading to the recruitment of PARK2, P62, ubiquitin, and LC3B-II to mitochondria and culminating in mitophagy. PINK1 knockdown markedly suppressed polyphyllin I-induced mitophagy and enhanced polyphyllin I-induced, DRP1-dependent mitochondrial fission and apoptosis. Furthermore, suppression of DRP1 by mdivi-1 or shRNA inhibited PINK1 knockdown/polyphyllin I-induced mitochondrial fragmentation and apoptosis, suggesting that PINK1 depletion leads to excessive fission and, subsequently, mitochondrial fragmentation. An in vivo study confirmed that polyphyllin I greatly inhibited tumor growth and induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 xenografts, and these effects were enhanced by PINK1 knockdown. These data describe the mechanism by which PINK1 contributes to polyphyllin I-induced mitophagy and apoptosis and suggest that polyphyllin I may be an effective drug for breast cancer treatment.

Marques-Aleixo I, Santos-Alves E, Oliveira PJ, Moreira PI, Magalhães J, Ascensão A. The beneficial role of exercise in mitigating doxorubicin-induced Mitochondrionopathy. Biochim Biophys Acta Rev Cancer 2018; 1869:189-199. [PMID: 29408395 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbcan.2018.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2017] [Revised: 01/09/2018] [Accepted: 01/11/2018] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used antineoplastic agent for a wide range of cancers, including hematological malignancies, soft tissue sarcomas and solid tumors. However, DOX exhibits a dose-related toxicity that results in life-threatening cardiomyopathy. In addition to the heart, there is evidence that DOX toxicity extends to other organs. This general toxicity seems to be related to mitochondrial network structural, molecular and functional impairments. Several countermeasures for these negative effects have been proposed, being physical exercise, not only one of the most effective non-pharmacologic strategy but also widely recommended as booster against cancer-related fatigue. It is widely accepted that mitochondria are critical sensors of tissue functionality, both modulated by DOX and exercise. Therefore, this review focuses on the current understanding of the mitochondrial-mediated mechanisms underlying the protective effect of exercise against DOX-induced toxicity, not only limited to the cardiac tissue, but also in other tissues such as skeletal muscle, liver and brain. We here analyze recent developments regarding the beneficial effects of exercise targeting mitochondrial responsive phenotypes against redox changes, mitochondrial bioenergetics, apoptotic, dynamics and quality control signalling affected by DOX treatment.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced toxicity and resistance are major obstacles in chemotherapeutic approaches. Despite effective in the treatment of numerous malignancies, some clinicians have voiced concern that DOX has the potential to cause debilitating consequences in organ tissues, especially the heart. The mechanisms of toxicity and resistance are respectively related to induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and up-regulation of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. Curcumin (CUR) with several biological and pharmacological properties is expected to restore DOX-mediated impairments to tissues. This review is intended to address the current knowledge on DOX adverse effects and CUR protective actions in the heart, kidneys, liver, brain, and reproductive organs. Coadministration of CUR and DOX is capable of ameliorating DOX toxicity pertained to antioxidant, apoptosis, autophagy, and mitochondrial permeability.

Can exercise training counteract doxorubicin-induced oxidative damage of testis proteome? Toxicol Lett 2017; 280:57-69. [PMID: 28818578 DOI: 10.1016/j.toxlet.2017.08.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2017] [Revised: 07/02/2017] [Accepted: 08/10/2017] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
The use of the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin (DOX) is limited by its toxicity in several organs such as testes. So, we analyzed the effect of endurance treadmill exercise training (EX) performed before sub-chronic DOX treatment on sperm count and motility, testes markers of oxidative damage and apoptosis. Tissue profiling of proteins more susceptible to oxidation was made to identify the molecular pathways regulated by oxidative modifications, as nitration and carbonylation. Twenty-four adult male rats were divided into four groups (n=6/group): sedentary saline (SED+SAL), sedentary sub-chronically injected with DOX (2mg-kg-1 per week, during 7 weeks; SED+DOX), 12 weeks trained saline (EX+SAL) and trained treated with DOX (EX+DOX). DOX treatment started 5 weeks after the beginning of the exercise program. Testes caspase-3, -8 and -9, as well as aconitase activities, the content of malondialdehyde (MDA), sulfhydryl groups (-SH), carbonyl and nitrotyrosine derivatives were determined. Modified proteins were identified by 2D-Western blot followed by MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry, and bioinformatic analysis was performed to assess the biological processes regulated by these chemical modifications. The decreased sperm motility induced by DOX was not modified by exercise. Significant increases in MDA content in SED+DOX and in caspase-3 and -9 activities in EX+DOX were found. Despite no significant differences in the levels of carbonylated and nitrated proteins, exercise modulated testis proteome susceptibility to oxidation in DOX-treated group, with less modified proteins identified. Zinc finger Ran-binding domain-containing protein 2 (ZRAB2) and AN1-type zinc finger protein 3 (ZFAN3) were among the proteins found oxidativelly modified. Although no marked alterations in testes oxidative damage were noticed, proteomic analysis of oxidativelly modified proteins highlighted the protective role of exercise against oxidative damage of some proteins involved in metabolism and stress response against DOX.

Swimming attenuates d-galactose-induced brain aging via suppressing miR-34a-mediated autophagy impairment and abnormal mitochondrial dynamics. J Appl Physiol (1985) 2017; 122:1462-1469. [DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00018.2017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2017] [Revised: 03/13/2017] [Accepted: 03/13/2017] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to be involved in many neurodegenerative diseases. To explore the regulatory role of miR-34a in aging-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) during exercise intervention, we constructed a rat model with d-galactose (d-gal)-induced oxidative stress and cognitive impairment coupled with dysfunctional autophagy and abnormal mitochondrial dynamics, determined the mitigation of cognitive impairment of d-gal-induced aging rats during swimming intervention, and evaluated miR-34a-mediated functional status of autophagy and abnormal mitochondrial dynamics. Meanwhile, whether the upregulation of miR-34a can lead to dysfunctional autophagy and abnormal mitochondrial dynamics was confirmed in human SH-SY5Y cells with silenced miR-34a by the transfection of a miR-34a inhibitor. Results indicated that swimming intervention could significantly attenuate cognitive impairment, prevent the upregulation of miR-34a, mitigate the dysfunctional autophagy, and inhibit the increase of dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) in d-gal-induced aging model rats. In contrast, the miR-34a inhibitor in cell model not only attenuated D-gal-induced the impairment of autophagy but also decreased the expression of DRP1 and mitofusin 2 (MFN2). Therefore, swimming training can delay brain aging of d-gal-induced aging rats through attenuating the impairment of miR-34a-mediated autophagy and abnormal mitochondrial dynamics, and miR-34a could be the novel therapeutic target for aging-related diseases such as AD. NEW & NOTEWORTHY In the present study, we have found that the upregulation of miR-34a is the hallmark of aging or aging-related diseases, which can result in dysfunctional autophagy and abnormal mitochondrial dynamics. In contrast, swimming intervention can delay the aging process by rescuing the impaired functional status of autophagy and abnormal mitochondrial dynamics via the suppression of miR-34a.

Abstract
In this work, we studied the effect of tamoxifen and cyclosporin A on mitochondrial permeability transition caused by addition of the thiol-oxidizing pair Cu2+ -orthophenanthroline. The findings indicate that tamoxifen and cyclosporin A circumvent the oxidative membrane damage manifested by matrix Ca2+ release, mitochondrial swelling, and transmembrane electrical gradient collapse. Furthermore, it was found that tamoxifen and cyclosporin A prevent the generation of TBARs promoted by Cu2+ -orthophenanthroline, as well as the inactivation of the mitochondrial enzyme aconitase and disruption of mDNA. Electrophoretic analysis was unable to demonstrate a cross-linking reaction between membrane proteins. Yet, it was found that Cu2+ -orthophenanthroline induced the generation of reactive oxygen species. It is thus plausible that membrane leakiness is due to an oxidative stress injury.
