Abstract
Tendinopathy is one of the most prevalent sports injury diseases in orthopedics. However, there is no effective treatment or medicine. Recently, the discovery of tendon stem cells (TSCs) provides a new perspective to find new therapeutic methods for Tendinopathy. Studies have shown that oxidative stress will inevitably cause TSCs injury during tendinopathy, but the mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Here, we report the oxidative damage of TSCs induced by H2O2 via ferroptosis, as well, treatment with H2O2 raised the proportion of mitochondria engulfed by autophagosomes in TSCs. The suppression of mitophagy by Mdivi-1 significantly attenuates the H2O2-induced ferroptosis in TSCs. Mechanically, H2O2 actives the cGAS-STING pathway, which can regulate the level of mitophagy. Interfering with cGAS could impair mitophagy and the classical ferroptotic events. In the rat model of tendinopathy, interference of cGAS could relieve tendon injury by inhibiting ferroptosis. Overall, these results provided novel implications to reveal the molecular mechanism of tendinopathy, by which pointed to cGAS as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of tendinopathy.

Abstract
Dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) is an essential controller of mitochondrial fission whose activity is tightly controlled to ensure balanced mitochondrial dynamics and maintain internal cellular homeostasis. Growing evidence suggests that DRP1-dependent mitochondrial fission plays a role in drug-induced toxicity (DIT). Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying DIT and the precise regulation of DRP1 function will inform the development of potential therapeutic treatments for DIT. This review comprehensively summarizes the diverse DITs and their potential mechanism associated with DRP1-dependent mitochondrial fission and discusses in vivo and in vitro model studies of toxicity protection targeting DRP1.

Abstract
This study elucidates the molecular mechanisms by which FABP3 regulates neuronal apoptosis via mitochondrial autophagy in the context of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Employing a transient mouse model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) established using the filament method, brain tissue samples were procured from I/R mice. High-throughput transcriptome sequencing on the Illumina CN500 platform was performed to identify differentially expressed mRNAs. Critical genes were selected by intersecting I/R-related genes from the GeneCards database with the differentially expressed mRNAs. The in vivo mechanism was explored by infecting I/R mice with lentivirus. Brain tissue injury, infarct volume ratio in the ischemic penumbra, neurologic deficits, behavioral abilities, neuronal apoptosis, apoptotic factors, inflammatory factors, and lipid peroxidation markers were assessed using H&E staining, TTC staining, Longa scoring, rotation experiments, immunofluorescence staining, and Western blot. For in vitro validation, an OGD/R model was established using primary neuron cells. Cell viability, apoptosis rate, mitochondrial oxidative stress, morphology, autophagosome formation, membrane potential, LC3 protein levels, and colocalization of autophagosomes and mitochondria were evaluated using MTT assay, LDH release assay, flow cytometry, ROS/MDA/GSH-Px measurement, transmission electron microscopy, MitoTracker staining, JC-1 method, Western blot, and immunofluorescence staining. FABP3 was identified as a critical gene in I/R through integrated transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. In vivo experiments revealed that FABP3 silencing mitigated brain tissue damage, reduced infarct volume ratio, improved neurologic deficits, restored behavioral abilities, and attenuated neuronal apoptosis, inflammation, and mitochondrial oxidative stress in I/R mice. In vitro experiments demonstrated that FABP3 silencing restored OGD/R cell viability, reduced neuronal apoptosis, and decreased mitochondrial oxidative stress. Moreover, FABP3 induced mitochondrial autophagy through ROS, which was inhibited by the free radical scavenger NAC. Blocking mitochondrial autophagy with sh-ATG5 lentivirus confirmed that FABP3 induces mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal apoptosis by activating mitochondrial autophagy. In conclusion, FABP3 activates mitochondrial autophagy through ROS, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and neuronal apoptosis, thereby promoting cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent chemotherapeutic drug; however, its clinical use is limited due to its cardiotoxicity. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. Follistatin-like protein 1 (FSTL1) is a potent cardiokine that protects the heart from diverse cardiac diseases, such as myocardial infarction, cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury, and heart failure. However, its role in DOX-induced cardiomyopathy is unclear. Therefore, the present study investigated whether administering recombinant FSTL1 could mitigate DOX-induced cardiomyopathy and clarified the underlying molecular mechanisms. FSTL1 treatment attenuated DOX-induced cardiac dysfunction, cardiac fibrosis, and cellular apoptosis by inhibiting excess mitochondrial matrix protein methionine sulfoxide reductase B2 (MsrB2)-mediated mitophagy. Furthermore, FSTL1 administration reduced the expression of apoptotic proteins, including MsrB2, Bax, caspase 3, mitochondrial Parkin, and LC3-II, increased myocardial ATP content, and decreased cardiac malondialdehyde levels, thus protecting mitochondrial function against DOX-induced cardiac injury. Furthermore, FSTL1 treatment protected the contractile properties of adult cardiomyocytes against DOX-induced injury in vitro. Furthermore, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, a mitophagy inducer, impaired the protective effects of FSTL1 in DOX-treated H9c2 cardiomyocytes. In conclusion, these results show that FSTL1 is a novel therapeutic agent against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity that improves mitochondrial function and decreases mitophagy.

Abstract
Sepsis remains a serious public health issue that needs to be addressed globally. Severe liver injury caused by sepsis increases the risk of death in patients with sepsis. Liensinine (Lie) is one of the primary active components in Plumula nelumbinis and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Nevertheless, the effects of Lie on septic liver injury are unclear. This research investigated the protective effect of Lie (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg) on liver damage via intraperitoneal administration of LPS (10 mg/kg) to C57BL/6 mice. Lie was given through intraperitoneal injection once a day for five days. Mice were treated with LPS intraperitoneally for 6 h at 1 h after Lie administration on the last day. The results suggested that Lie could decrease AST and ALT levels in serum, ameliorate histopathological changes and inhibit cell apoptosis in mice with LPS-induced septic liver injury. In addition, Lie inhibited increases in the mRNA levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, iNOS and IL-6. Lie also increased the mRNA level of IL-10. Lie reduced the content of MDA, a marker of lipid peroxidation, and increased the activity of the antioxidant enzymes GSH-Px, CAT and SOD. Our results also showed that Lie could suppress the LPS-activated MAPK and NF-κB pathways and trigger the Nrf2 signaling pathway both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, an Nrf2 inhibitor (ML385) weakened the suppressive effect of Lie on the MAPK and NF-κB pathways. Our results demonstrated that the suppressive effect of Lie on the MAPK and NF-κB pathways was partially reliant on activation of the Nrf2 pathway. In summary, these results indicate that Lie can improve inflammation and oxidative stress by activating Nrf2, which is a prospective therapeutic drug for alleviating septic liver injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic drug, while its clinical use is greatly limited by the life-threatening cardiotoxicity. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification participates in varieties of cellular processes. Nonetheless, it remains elusive whether m6A modification and its methyltransferase METTL3 are involved in the progression of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). METHODS Mice were administrated with DOX (accumulative dosage of 20 mg/kg) repeatedly to establish a chronic DIC model. Cardiomyocyte-specific conditional METTL3 knockout mice were employed to evaluate the effects of altered m6A RNA modification on DIC. The effects of METTL3 on cardiomyocyte ferroptosis were also examined in response to DOX stimulation. RESULTS DOX led to increased levels in m6A modification and METTL3 expression in cardiomyocytes in a c-Jun-dependent manner. METTL3-knockout mice exhibited improved cardiac function, remodeling and injury following DOX insult. Besides, inhibition of METTL3 alleviated DOX-induced iron accumulation and ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes, whereas METTL3 overexpression exerted the opposite effects. Mechanistically, METTL3 promoted m6A modification of TFRC mRNA, a critical gene governing iron uptake, and enhanced its stability through recognition of the m6A reader protein, IGF2BP2. Moreover, pharmacological administration of a highly selective METTL3 inhibitor STM2457 effectively ameliorated DIC in mice. CONCLUSION METTL3 plays a cardinal role in the etiology of DIC by regulating cardiac iron metabolism and ferroptosis through TFRC m6A modification. Inhibition of METTL3 might be a potential therapeutic avenue for DIC.

Abstract
Mitochondria are central to cellular energy production and metabolic regulation, particularly in cardiomyocytes. These organelles constantly undergo cycles of fusion and fission, orchestrated by key proteins like Dynamin-related Protein 1 (Drp-1). This review focuses on the intricate roles of Drp-1 in regulating mitochondrial dynamics, its implications in cardiovascular health, and particularly in myocardial infarction. Drp-1 is not merely a mediator of mitochondrial fission; it also plays pivotal roles in autophagy, mitophagy, apoptosis, and necrosis in cardiac cells. This multifaceted functionality is often modulated through various post-translational alterations, and Drp-1's interaction with intracellular calcium (Ca2 + ) adds another layer of complexity. We also explore the pathological consequences of Drp-1 dysregulation, including increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and endothelial dysfunction. Furthermore, this review delves into the potential therapeutic interventions targeting Drp-1 to modulate mitochondrial dynamics and improve cardiovascular outcomes. We highlight recent findings on the interaction between Drp-1 and sirtuin-3 and suggest that understanding this interaction may open new avenues for therapeutically modulating endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and cardiomyocytes. As the cardiovascular system increasingly becomes the focal point of aging and chronic disease research, understanding the nuances of Drp-1's functionality can lead to innovative therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Background Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) debilitates quality of life in cancer survivors. Serial characterizations are lacking of the molecular processes occurring with AIC. Objectives The aim of this study was to characterize AIC progression in a mouse model from early (subclinical) to advanced heart failure stages, with an emphasis on cardiac metabolism and mitochondrial structure and function. Methods CD1 mice received 5 weekly intraperitoneal doxorubicin injections (5 mg/kg) and were followed by serial echocardiography for 15 weeks. At 1, 9, and 15 weeks after the doxorubicin injections, mice underwent fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, and hearts were extracted for microscopy and molecular analysis. Results Cardiac atrophy was evident at 1 week post-doxorubicin (left ventricular [LV] mass 117 ± 26 mg vs 97 ± 25 mg at baseline and 1 week, respectively; P < 0.001). Cardiac mass nadir was observed at week 3 post-doxorubicin (79 ± 16 mg; P = 0.002 vs baseline), remaining unchanged thereafter. Histology confirmed significantly reduced cardiomyocyte area (167 ± 19 μm2 in doxorubicin-treated mice vs 211 ± 26 μm2 in controls; P = 0.004). LV ejection fraction declined from week 6 post-doxorubicin (49% ± 9% vs 61% ± 9% at baseline; P < 0.001) until the end of follow-up at 15 weeks (43% ± 8%; P < 0.001 vs baseline). At 1 week post-doxorubicin, when LV ejection fraction remained normal, reduced cardiac metabolism was evident from down-regulated markers of fatty acid oxidation and glycolysis. Metabolic impairment continued to the end of follow-up in parallel with reduced mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate production. A transient early up-regulation of nutrient-sensing and mitophagy markers were observed, which was associated with mitochondrial enlargement. Later stages, when mitophagy was exhausted, were characterized by overt mitochondrial fragmentation. Conclusions Cardiac atrophy, global hypometabolism, early transient-enhanced mitophagy, biogenesis, and nutrient sensing constitute candidate targets for AIC prevention.

Abstract
This comprehensive review delves into the pivotal role of mitochondria in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, a significant complication limiting the clinical use of this potent anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent. Doxorubicin, while effective against various malignancies, is associated with dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, potentially leading to irreversible cardiac damage. The review meticulously dissects the molecular mechanisms underpinning this cardiotoxicity, particularly focusing on mitochondrial dysfunction, a central player in this adverse effect. Central to the discussion is the concept of mitochondrial quality control, including mitochondrial dynamics (fusion/fission balance) and mitophagy. The review presents evidence linking aberrations in these processes to cardiotoxicity in doxorubicin-treated patients. It elucidates how doxorubicin disrupts mitochondrial dynamics, leading to an imbalance between mitochondrial fission and fusion, and impairs mitophagy, culminating in the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria and subsequent cardiac cell damage. Furthermore, the review explores emerging therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial dysfunction. It highlights the potential of modulating mitochondrial dynamics and enhancing mitophagy to mitigate doxorubicin-induced cardiac damage. These strategies include pharmacological interventions with mitochondrial fission inhibitors, fusion promoters, and agents that modulate mitophagy. The review underscores the promising results from preclinical studies while advocating for more extensive clinical trials to validate these approaches in human patients. In conclusion, this review offers valuable insights into the intricate relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and doxorubicin-mediated cardiotoxicity. It underscores the need for continued research into targeted mitochondrial therapies as a means to improve the cardiac safety profile of doxorubicin, thereby enhancing the overall treatment outcomes for cancer patients.

The NLRX1-SLC39A7 complex orchestrates mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy to rejuvenate intervertebral disc by modulating mitochondrial Zn 2+ trafficking. Autophagy 2024; 20:809-829.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is the most critical pathological factor in the development of low back pain. The maintenance of nucleus pulposus (NP) cell and intervertebral disc integrity benefits largely from well-controlled mitochondrial quality, surveilled by mitochondrial dynamics (fission and fusion) and mitophagy, but the outcome is cellular context-dependent that remain to be clarified. Our studies revealed that the loss of NLRX1 is correlated with NP cell senescence and IDD progression, which involve disordered mitochondrial quality. Further using animal and in vitro tissue and cell models, we demonstrated that NLRX1 could facilitate mitochondrial quality by coupling mitochondrial dynamic factors (p-DNM1L, L-OPA1:S-OPA1, OMA1) and mitophagy activity. Conversely, mitochondrial collapse occurred in NLRX1-defective NP cells and switched on the compensatory PINK1-PRKN pathway that led to excessive mitophagy and aggressive NP cell senescence. Mechanistically, NLRX1 was originally shown to interact with zinc transporter SLC39A7 and modulate mitochondrial Zn2+ trafficking via the formation of an NLRX1-SLC39A7 complex on the mitochondrial membrane of NP cells, subsequently orchestrating mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy. The restoration of NLRX1 function by gene overexpression or pharmacological agonist (NX-13) treatment showed great potential for regulating mitochondrial fission with synchronous fusion and mitophagy, thus sustaining mitochondrial homeostasis, ameliorating NP cell senescence and rejuvenating intervertebral discs. Collectively, our findings highlight a working model whereby the NLRX1-SLC39A7 complex coupled mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy activity to surveil and target damaged mitochondria for degradation, which determines the beneficial function of the mitochondrial surveillance system and ultimately rejuvenates intervertebral discs.Abbreviations: 3-MA: 3-methyladenine; Baf-A1: bafilomycin A1; CDKN1A/p21: cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A; CDKN2A/p16: cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A; DNM1L/DRP1: dynamin 1 like; EdU: 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine; HE: hematoxylin-eosin; IDD: intervertebral disc degeneration; IL1B/IL-1β: interleukin 1 beta; IL6: interleukin 6; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MKI67/Ki67: marker of proliferation Ki-67; LBP: low back pain; MMP: mitochondrial membrane potential; MFN1: mitofusin 1; MFN2: mitofusin 2; MFF: mitochondrial fission factor; NP: nucleus pulposus; NLRX1: NLR family member X1; OMA1: OMA1 zinc metallopeptidase; OPA1: OPA1 mitochondrial dynamin like GTPase; PINK1: PTEN induced kinase 1; PRKN: parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; ROS: reactive oxidative species; SASP: senescence-associated secretory phenotype; SA-GLB1/β-gal: senescence-associated galactosidase beta 1; SO: safranin o; TBHP: tert-butyl hydroperoxide; TP53/p53: tumor protein p53; SLC39A7/ZIP7: solute carrier family 39 member 7; TOMM20: translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20; TIMM23: translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 23.

Heavy Metal Scavenger Metallothionein Rescues Against Cold Stress-Evoked Myocardial Contractile Anomalies Through Regulation of Mitophagy. Cardiovasc Toxicol 2024; 24:85-101. [PMID: 38356081 DOI: 10.1007/s12012-023-09823-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
Cold stress prompts an increased prevalence of cardiovascular morbidity yet the underneath machinery remains unclear. Oxidative stress and autophagy appear to contribute to cold stress-induced cardiac anomalies. Our present study evaluated the effect of heavy metal antioxidant metallothionein on cold stress (4 °C)-induced in cardiac remodeling and contractile anomalies and cell signaling involved including regulation of autophagy and mitophagy. Cold stress (3 weeks) prompted interstitial fibrosis, mitochondrial damage (mitochondrial membrane potential and TEM ultrastructure), oxidative stress (glutathione, reactive oxygen species and superoxide), lipid peroxidation, protein injury, elevated left ventricular (LV) end systolic and diastolic diameters, decreased fractional shortening, ejection fraction, Langendorff heart function, cardiomyocyte shortening, maximal velocities of shortening/relengthening, and electrically stimulated intracellular Ca2+ rise along with elongated relaxation duration and intracellular Ca2+ clearance, the responses of which were overtly attenuated or mitigated by metallothionein. Levels of apoptosis, cell death (Bax and loss of Bcl2, IL-18), and autophagy (LC3BII-to-LC3BI ratio, Atg7 and Beclin-1) were overtly upregulated with comparable p62 under cold stress. Cold stress also evoked elevated mitophagy (decreased TOM20, increased Parkin and FUNDC1 with unaltered BNIP3). Cold stress overtly dampened phosphorylation of autophagy/mitophagy inhibitory molecules Akt and mTOR, stimulated and suppressed phosphorylation of ULK1 and eNOS, respectively, in the absence of altered pan protein levels. Cold stress-evoked responses in cell death, autophagy, mitophagy and their regulatory domains were overtly attenuated or ablated by metallothionein. Suppression of autophagy and mitophagy with 3-methyladenine, bafilomycin A1, cyclosporine A, and liensinine rescued hypothermia-instigated cardiomyocyte LC3B puncta formation and mechanical anomalies. Our findings support a protective nature for metallothionein in deep hypothermia-evoked cardiac abnormalities associated with regulation of autophagy and mitophagy.

TBC1D15 deficiency protects against doxorubicin cardiotoxicity via inhibiting DNA-PKcs cytosolic retention and DNA damage. Acta Pharm Sin B 2023; 13:4823-4839. [PMID: 38045047 PMCID: PMC10692480 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2023.09.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Clinical application of doxorubicin (DOX) is heavily hindered by DOX cardiotoxicity. Several theories were postulated for DOX cardiotoxicity including DNA damage and DNA damage response (DDR), although the mechanism(s) involved remains to be elucidated. This study evaluated the potential role of TBC domain family member 15 (TBC1D15) in DOX cardiotoxicity. Tamoxifen-induced cardiac-specific Tbc1d15 knockout (Tbc1d15CKO) or Tbc1d15 knockin (Tbc1d15CKI) male mice were challenged with a single dose of DOX prior to cardiac assessment 1 week or 4 weeks following DOX challenge. Adenoviruses encoding TBC1D15 or containing shRNA targeting Tbc1d15 were used for Tbc1d15 overexpression or knockdown in isolated primary mouse cardiomyocytes. Our results revealed that DOX evoked upregulation of TBC1D15 with compromised myocardial function and overt mortality, the effects of which were ameliorated and accentuated by Tbc1d15 deletion and Tbc1d15 overexpression, respectively. DOX overtly evoked apoptotic cell death, the effect of which was alleviated and exacerbated by Tbc1d15 knockout and overexpression, respectively. Meanwhile, DOX provoked mitochondrial membrane potential collapse, oxidative stress and DNA damage, the effects of which were mitigated and exacerbated by Tbc1d15 knockdown and overexpression, respectively. Further scrutiny revealed that TBC1D15 fostered cytosolic accumulation of the cardinal DDR element DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs). Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and co-immunoprecipitation denoted an interaction between TBC1D15 and DNA-PKcs at the segment 594-624 of TBC1D15. Moreover, overexpression of TBC1D15 mutant (∆594-624, deletion of segment 594-624) failed to elicit accentuation of DOX-induced cytosolic retention of DNA-PKcs, DNA damage and cardiomyocyte apoptosis by TBC1D15 wild type. However, Tbc1d15 deletion ameliorated DOX-induced cardiomyocyte contractile anomalies, apoptosis, mitochondrial anomalies, DNA damage and cytosolic DNA-PKcs accumulation, which were canceled off by DNA-PKcs inhibition or ATM activation. Taken together, our findings denoted a pivotal role for TBC1D15 in DOX-induced DNA damage, mitochondrial injury, and apoptosis possibly through binding with DNA-PKcs and thus gate-keeping its cytosolic retention, a route to accentuation of cardiac contractile dysfunction in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

A novel mitochondria-targeting compound exerts therapeutic effects against melanoma by inducing mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and autophagy in vitro and in vivo. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY 2023; 38:2608-2620. [PMID: 37466182 DOI: 10.1002/tox.23896] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023]
Abstract
Melanoma is the most invasive skin cancer, with a high mortality rate. However, existing therapeutic drugs have side effects, low reactivity, and lead to drug resistance. As the power source in cells, mitochondria play an important role in the survival of cancer cells and are an important target for tumor therapy. This study aimed to develop a new anti-melanoma compound that targets mitochondria, evaluate its effect on the proliferation and metastasis of melanoma cells, and explore its mechanism of action. The novel mitochondria-targeting compound, SCZ0148, was synthesized by modifying the structure of cyanine. Then, A375 and B16 cells were incubated with different concentrations of SCZ0148, and different doses of SCZ0148 were administered to A375 and B16 xenograft zebrafish. The results showed that SCZ0148 targeted mitochondria, had dose- and time-dependent effects on the proliferation of melanoma cell lines, and had no obvious side effects on normal cells. In addition, SCZ0148 induced melanoma cell apoptosis through the reactive oxygen species-mediated mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis and promoted autophagy. SCZ0148 significantly inhibited the migration of melanoma cells via a matrix metalloprotein 9-mediated pathway. Similarly, SCZ0148 inhibited melanoma cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner in vivo. In summary, SCZ0148 may be a novel anti-melanoma compound that targets mitochondria.

Mitochondrial aspartate/glutamate carrier AGC1 regulates cardiac function via Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy. Transl Res 2023; 261:28-40.

Abstract
Mitochondrial fission has been noted in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), but the underlying specific regulatory mechanism, especially in the development of doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiomyopathy remains unclear. In the present study, we explore whether the aspartate-glutamate carrier1 (AGC1) interacts with the fission protein dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) and reveal the functional and molecular mechanisms contributing to DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. Results of co-immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry (CO-IP MS) analysis based on heart tissue of DCM patients revealed that AGC1 expression was significantly upregulated in DCM-induced injury and AGC1 level was closely correlated with mitochondrial morphogenesis and function. We showed that AGC1 knockdown protected mice from DOX-induced cardiomyopathy by preventing mitochondrial fission, while the overexpression of AGC1 in the mouse heart led to impairment of cardiac function. Mechanistically, AGC1 overexpression could upregulate Drp1 expression and contribute to subsequent excessive mitochondrial fission. Specifically, AGC1 knockdown or the use of Drp1-specific inhibitor Mdivi-1 alleviated cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inhibited impairment of mitochondrial function induced by DOX exposure. In summary, our data illustrate that AGC1, as a novel contributor to DCM, regulates cardiac function via Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission, indicating that targeting AGC1-Drp1 axis could be a potential therapeutic strategy for DOX-induced cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Cepharanthine (CEP) is a bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid compound found in plants of the Stephania genus, which has biological functions such as regulating autophagy, inhibiting inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. It is often used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases, viral infections, cancer, and immune disorders and has great clinical translational value. However, there is no detailed research on its specific mechanism and dosage and administration methods, especially clinical research is limited. In recent years, CEP has shown significant effects in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, suggesting its potential medicinal value waiting to be discovered. In this article, we comprehensively introduce the molecular structure of CEP and its derivatives, describe in detail the pharmacological mechanisms of CEP in various diseases, and discuss how to chemically modify and design CEP to improve its bioavailability. In summary, this work will provide a reference for further research and clinical application of CEP.

[PMID: 37720103 PMCID: PMC10504546 DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Revised: 07/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/26/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Mitophagy is critical for maintaining proper cellular functions, and it contributes to the onset and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). A recent study showed that focused low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (FLIPUS) could activate mitophagy, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the chondroprotective effects of FLIPUS in OA and the regulatory effects on FUN14-domain containing 1 (FUNDC1-mediated mitophagy. In vitro, FLIPUS improved inflammatory response, anabolism, and catabolism in interleukin (IL)-1β-induced OA chondrocytes. The chondroprotective effects of FLIPUS were attributed to promoting the expression of phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5) and the dephosphorylation of FUNDC1 at serine 13 (Ser13), as well as promoting the mitophagy process. In vivo, FLIPUS reduced the cartilage degeneration and apoptosis and reversed the change of anabolic- and catabolic-related proteins in destabilized medial meniscus (DMM)-induced mouse model. Thus, the study indicates that FLIPUS exhibits a chondroprotective effect via activating impaired FUNDC1-mediated mitophagy.

Int Immunopharmacol 2023; 123:110736.

Abstract
AIMS Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anti-tumor drug, but the cardiotoxicity severely limits its clinical use. Interestingly, a hypothesis has emerged suggesting an association between DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and mitochondrial disorders and oxidative stress. The mitochonic acid 5 (MA5) shows promise in alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction by promoting mitochondrial ATP synthesis and reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, though its potential in ameliorating DOX-induced cardiotoxicity remains elusive. METHODS Network pharmacology approach, molecular docking techniques, and molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) were used to reveal the specific drug targets and pharmaceutical mechanisms involved in the treatment of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity using MA5. For experimental verification, cardiomyocytes (H9c2) and mice were exposed to DOX in the presence or absence of MA5. Our investigation involved the assessment of echocardiographic parameters, cardiac enzymes, inflammatory factors, mitochondrial function, myocardial structure, and cardiomyocyte pyroptosis. RESULTS Among the 100 core targets identified in network pharmacology, MA5 was pharmacologically active against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity via pathways implicated in cancer, prostate cancer, lipids and atherosclerosis. Molecular docking analysis confirmed that MA5 docked well with TNF-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and caspase-3. Furthermore, MA5 exhibited a stronger affinity toward TNF-α than IL-6 and caspase-3. Subsequent MDS revealed the stability of binding between MA5 and TNF-α. The DOX-challenged mice also displayed abnormal myocardial enzymogram, disrupted systolic and diastolic function, and elevated inflammation and cardiomyocyte pyroptosis, which could be mitigated by the administration of MA5. Similarly, H9c2 cells exposed to DOX showed increased intracellular ROS production and impaired mitochondrial function, which were relieved by MA5 treatment. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that MA5 attenuates DOX-induced cardiac anomalies through the TNF-α-mediated regulation of inflammation and pyroptosis. These insights offer a potential therapeutic strategy for managing DOX-induced cardiac complications, thereby improving the safety and efficacy of cancer treatments.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BCa) is a urinary tumor with limited treatment options and high mortality. Liensinine (LIEN), a natural bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid, has shown excellent anti-tumor effects in numerous preclinical studies. However, the anti-BCa effect of LIEN remains unclear. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the molecular mechanism of LIEN in the management of BCa. First, we identified the treatment-related targets of BCa; those that repeatedly occur in more than two databases, including GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, DisGeNET, Therapeutic Target Database, and Drugbank. The SwissTarget database was used to screen LIEN-related targets, and those with a probability >0 were possible LIEN targets. The prospective targets of LIEN in the treatment of BCa were then determined using a Venn diagram. Second, we discovered that the PI3K/AKT pathway and senescence mediated the anti-BCa action of LIEN by using GO and KEGG enrichment analysis to explore the function of LIEN therapeutic targets. A protein-protein interaction network was created using the String website, and six algorithms of the CytoHubba plug-in were then used in Cytoscape to assess the core targets of LIEN for the therapy of BCa. The outcomes of molecular docking and dynamics simulation demonstrated that CDK2 and CDK4 proteins were the direct targets of LIEN in the management of BCa, among which CDK2 was more stable in binding to LIEN than CDK4. Finally, in vitro experiments showed that LIEN inhibited the activity and proliferation of T24 cells. The expression of p-/AKT, CDK2, and CDK4 proteins progressively decreased, while the expression and fluorescence intensity of the senescence-related protein, γH2AX, gradually increased with increasing LIEN concentration in T24 cells. Therefore, our data suggest that LIEN may promote senescence and inhibit proliferation by inhibiting the CDK2/4 and PI3K/AKT pathways in BCa.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an extensively used chemotherapeutic agent that can cause severe and frequent cardiotoxicity, which limits its clinical application. Although there have been extensive researches on the cardiotoxicity caused by DOX, there is still a lack of effective treatment. It is necessary to understand the molecular mechanism of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity and search for new therapeutic targets which do not sacrifice their anticancer effects. Mitochondria are considered to be the main target of cardiotoxicity caused by DOX. The imbalance of mitochondrial dynamics characterized by increased mitochondrial fission and inhibited mitochondrial fusion is often reported in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, which can result in excessive ROS production, energy metabolism disorders, cell apoptosis, and various other problems. Also, mitochondrial dynamics disorder is related to tumorigenesis. Surprisingly, recent studies show that targeting mitochondrial dynamics proteins such as DRP1 and MFN2 can not only defend against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity but also enhance or not impair the anticancer effect. Herein, we summarize mitochondrial dynamics disorder in DOX-induced cardiac injury. Furthermore, we provide an overview of current pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions targeting proteins involved in mitochondrial dynamics to alleviate cardiac damage caused by DOX.

Cell Death Discov 2023; 9:189. [PMID: 37353487 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-023-01481-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Acute liver injury (ALI) is an acute inflammatory liver disease with a high mortality rate. Alternatively, activated macrophages (AAMs) have been linked to the inflammation and recovery of ALI. However, the mechanism underlying AAM death in ALI has not been studied sufficiently. We used liensinine (Lie) as a drug of choice after screening a library of small-molecule monomers with 1488 compounds from traditional Chinese remedies. In ALI, we evaluated the potential therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of action of the drug in ALI and found that it effectively inhibited RSL3-induced ferroptosis in AAM. Lie significantly reduced lipid peroxidation in RSL3-generated AAM. It also improved the survival rate of LPS/D-GalN-treated mice, reduced serum transaminase activity, suppressed inflammatory factor production, and may have lowered AAM ferroptosis in ALI. Lie also inhibited ferritinophagy and blocked Fe2+ synthesis. Following combined treatment with RSL3 and Lie, super-resolution microscopy revealed a close correlation between ferritin and LC3-positive vesicles in the AAM. The co-localization of ferritin and LC3 with LAMP1 was significantly reduced. These findings suggest that Lie may ameliorate ALI by inhibiting ferritinophagy and enhancing AMM resistance to ferroptosis by inhibiting autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Therefore, Lie may be used as a potential therapeutic agent for patients with ALI.

Abstract
As the world’s population grows, so does the need for more and more animal feed. In 2006, the EU banned the use of antibiotics and other chemicals in order to reduce chemical residues in food consumed by humans. It is well known that oxidative stress and inflammatory processes must be combated to achieve higher productivity. The adverse effects of the use of pharmaceuticals and other synthetic compounds on animal health and product quality and safety have increased interest in phytocompounds. With the use of plant polyphenols in animal nutrition, they are gaining more attention as a supplement to animal feed. Livestock feeding based on a sustainable, environmentally friendly approach (clean, safe, and green agriculture) would also be a win–win for farmers and society. There is an increasing interest in producing healthier products of animal origin with a higher ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to saturated fatty acids by modulating animal nutrition. Secondary plant metabolites (polyphenols) are essential chemical compounds for plant physiology as they are involved in various functions such as growth, pigmentation, and resistance to pathogenic organisms. Polyphenols are exogenous antioxidants that act as one of the first lines of cell defense. Therefore, the discoveries on the intracellular antioxidant activity of polyphenols as a plant supplement have contributed significantly to the improvement of antioxidant activity, as polyphenols prevent oxidative stress damage and eliminate excessively produced free radicals. To achieve animal welfare, reduce stress and the need for medicines, and increase the quality of food of animal origin, the addition of polyphenols to research and breeding can be practised in part with a free-choice approach to animal nutrition.

Abstract
Daunorubicin (DNR-) induced cardiotoxicity seriously restricts its clinical application. Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 6 (TRPC6) is involved in multiple cardiovascular physiological and pathophysiological processes. However, the role of TRPC6 anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) remains unclear. Mitochondrial fragmentation greatly promotes AIC. TRPC6-mediated ERK1/2 activation has been shown to favor mitochondrial fission in dentate granule cells. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the effects of TRPC6 on daunorubicin- induced cardiotoxicity and identify the mechanisms associated with mitochondrial dynamics. The sparkling results showed that TRPC6 was upregulated in models in vitro and in vivo. TRPC6 knockdown protected cardiomyocytes from DNR-induced cell apoptosis and death. DNR largely facilitated mitochondrial fission, boosted mitochondrial membrane potential collapse and damaged debilitated mitochondrial respiratory function in H9c2 cells,these effects were accompanied by TRPC6 upregulation. siTRPC6 effectively inhibited these mitochondrial adverse aspects showing a positive unexposed effect on mitochondrial morphology and function. Concomitantly, ERK1/2-DRP1 which is related to mitochondrial fission was significantly activated with amplified phosphorylated forms in DNR-treated H9c2 cells. siTRPC6 effectively suppressedERK1/2-DPR1 over activation, hinting at a potential correlation between TRPC6 and ERK1/2-DRP1 by which mitochondrial dynamics are possibly modulated in AIC. TRPC6 knockdown also raised the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, which may help to block mitochondrial fragmentation-related functional impairment and apoptotic signaling. These findings suggested an essential role of TRPC6 in AIC by intensifying mitochondrial fission and cell death via ERK1/2-DPR1, which could be a potential therapeutic target for AIC.

Liensinine, a alkaloid from lotus plumule, mitigates lipopolysaccharide-induced sepsis-associated encephalopathy through modulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-mediated inflammatory biomarkers and mitochondria apoptosis. Food Chem Toxicol 2023; 177:113813. [PMID: 37150347 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.113813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 04/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the role of liensinine in life-threatened sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) mice and the underlying mechanism. Here, seventy-two mice were divided into six groups, including the control group, SAE group, liensinine-treated group, and three doses of liensinine-treated SAE groups. Lipopolysaccharide triggered cerebrum necrosis and disrupted the integrity and permeability of blood-brain barrier (BBB). While liensinine restored cerebrum structure and improved BBB integrity with upregulated tight junction proteins, decreased evans blue leakage and fibrinogen expression with decreased matrix metalloproteinases 2/9 in serum, thereby reducing BBB permeability. Moreover, lipopolysaccharide triggered cerebrum oxidative stress and inflammation, whereas liensinine enhanced antioxidant enzymes activities and weakened malondialdehyde through nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor. Meanwhile, liensinine inhibited inflammation by activating inducible nitric oxide synthase. Tunel staining combined with transmission electron microscope indicated that lipopolysaccharide induced cerebrum apoptosis, whereas liensinine blocked apoptosis through decreasing B-cell lymphoma-2 associated X (Bax) expression and cytochrome C (Cyto-c) release, increasing B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) expression, blocking apoptosome assembly, inhibiting caspase-3 activation, thereby suppressing intrinsic mitochondria apoptosis. Recovering of inflammatory homeostasis and inhibition of mitochondria apoptosis by liensinine ultimately restored cognitive function in SAE mice. Altogether, liensinine attenuated lipopolysaccharide-induced SAE via modulation of Nrf2-mediated inflammatory biomarkers and mitochondria apoptosis.

Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 162:114675. [PMID: 37044026 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is the leading cause of deaths worldwide, triggering widespread and irreversible damage to the heart. Currently, there are no drugs that can reverse ischemic damage to the myocardium and hence, finding novel therapeutic agents that can limit the extent of myocardial damage following MI is crucial. Liensinine (LSN) is a naturally derived bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloid that is known to exhibit numerous antioxidative and cardiovascular beneficial effects. However, the role of LSN in MI-induced injury and its underlying mechanisms remain unexplored. PURPOSE Our study aims to evaluate the cardioprotective effects of LSN following MI and its underlying molecular mechanisms. METHODS We constructed murine models of MI in order to examine the potential cardioprotective effects and mechanisms of LSN in protecting against myocardial ischemic damage both in vivo and in vitro. RESULTS Administration with LSN strongly protected against cardiac injuries following MI by decreasing the extent of ischemic damage and improving cardiac function. Additionally, LSN was found to be a potent inhibitor of Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway. Hence, the beneficial effects of LSN in preventing oxidative and DNA damage following ischemia was due to its ability to inhibit aberrant activation of Wnt/β‑catenin signaling. CONCLUSIONS Our findings reveal for the first time a novel cardioprotective role of LSN during myocardial infarction and most notably, its ability to protect cardiomyocytes against oxidative stress-induced damage via inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Our study therefore suggests new therapeutic potential of LSN or plants that contain the natural alkaloid LSN in ischemic heart diseases.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) has been recognized as one of the most effective chemotherapies and extensively used in the clinical settings of human cancer. However, DOX-mediated cardiotoxicity is known to compromise the clinical effectiveness of chemotherapy, resulting in cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Recently, accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria via alteration of the mitochondrial fission/fusion dynamic processes has been identified as a potential mechanism underlying DOX cardiotoxicity. DOX-induced excessive fission in conjunction with impaired fusion could severely promote mitochondrial fragmentation and cardiomyocyte death, while modulation of mitochondrial dynamic proteins using either fission inhibitors (e.g., Mdivi-1) or fusion promoters (e.g., M1) can provide cardioprotection against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. In this review, we focus particularly on the roles of mitochondrial dynamic pathways and the current advanced therapies in mitochondrial dynamics-targeted anti-cardiotoxicity of DOX. This review summarizes all the novel insights into the development of anti-cardiotoxic effects of DOX via the targeting of mitochondrial dynamic pathways, thereby encouraging and guiding future clinical investigations to focus on the potential application of mitochondrial dynamic modulators in the setting of DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Chromones are the structural building blocks of several natural flavonoids. The synthesis of chromones, which contain a hydroxy group on the ring, presents some challenges. We used the one-pot method to synthesize ten chromone derivatives and two related compounds using modified Baker-Venkataraman reactions. The structures were confirmed using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. The in vitro antioxidant assay revealed that compounds 2e, 2f, 2j, and 3i had potent antioxidant activity and that all these synthesized compounds, except those containing nitro groups, were harmless to normal cells. In addition, compounds 2b, 2d, 2e, 2f, 2g, 2i, and 2j had anticancer activity. Compounds 2f and 2j were used to investigate the mechanism of anticancer activity. Both 2f and 2j induced a slightly early apoptotic effect but significantly impacted the S phase in the cell cycle. The effect on cell invasion indicates that both compounds significantly inhibited the growth of cervical cancer cells. A chromone scaffold possesses effective chemoprotective and antioxidant properties, making it a promising candidate for antioxidant and future cancer treatments.

Abstract
The survival rate for pediatric cancers has remarkably improved in recent years. Conventional chemotherapy plays a crucial role in treating pediatric cancers, especially in low- and middle-income countries where access to advanced treatments may be limited. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved chemotherapy drugs that can be used in children have expanded, but patients still face numerous side effects from the treatment. In addition, multidrug resistance (MDR) continues to pose a major challenge in improving the survival rates for a significant number of patients. This review focuses on the severe side effects of pediatric chemotherapy, including doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) and vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN). We also delve into the mechanisms of MDR in chemotherapy to the improve survival and reduce the toxicity of treatment. Additionally, the review focuses on various drug transporters found in common types of pediatric tumors, which could offer different therapeutic options.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a powerful and commonly used chemotherapeutic drug, used alone or in combination in a variety of cancers, while it has been found to cause serious cardiac side effects in clinical application. More and more researchers are trying to explore the molecular mechanisms of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DIC), in which oxidative stress and inflammation are considered to play a significant role. This review summarizes signaling pathways related to oxidative stress and inflammation in DIC and compounds that exert cardioprotective effects by acting on relevant signaling pathways, including the role of Nrf2/Keap1/ARE, Sirt1/p66Shc, Sirt1/PPAR/PGC-1α signaling pathways and NOS, NOX, Fe2+ signaling in oxidative stress, as well as the role of NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD, HMGB1/TLR4/MAPKs/NF-κB, mTOR/TFEB/NF-κB pathways in DOX-induced inflammation. Hence, we attempt to explain the mechanisms of DIC in terms of oxidative stress and inflammation, and to provide a theoretical basis or new idea for further drug research on reducing DIC.

Abstract
In this study, we shed light for the first time on the usage of migratory locusts (Locusta migratoria) as an insect model to investigate the nanotoxicological influence of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles at low doses on testes, and evaluate the capacity of a whole-body extract of American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) (PAE) to attenuate Al2O3 NPs-induced toxicity. Energy dispersive X-ray microanalyzer (EDX) analysis verified the bioaccumulation of Al in testicular tissues due to its liberation from Al2O3 NPs, implying their penetration into the blood–testis barrier. Remarkably, toxicity with Al engendered disorders of antioxidant and stress biomarkers associated with substantial DNA damage and cell apoptosis. Furthermore, histopathological and ultrastructural analyses manifested significant aberrations in the testicular tissues from the group exposed to Al2O3 NPs, indicating the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Molecular docking analysis emphasized the antioxidant capacity of some compounds derived from PAE. Thus, pretreatment with PAE counteracted the detrimental effects of Al in the testes, revealing antioxidant properties and thwarting DNA impairment and cell apoptosis. Moreover, histological and ultrastructural examinations revealed no anomalies in the testes. Overall, these findings substantiate the potential applications of PAE in preventing the testicular impairment of L. migratoria and the conceivable utilization of locusts for nanotoxicology studies.

Abstract
Mitochondria are morphologically dynamic organelles frequently undergoing fission and fusion processes that regulate mitochondrial integrity and bioenergetics. These processes are considered critical for cell survival. The mitochondrial fission process regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy. It is associated with apoptosis, while mitochondrial fusion controls the accurate distribution of mitochondrial DNA and metabolic substances across the mitochondria. Excessive mitochondrial fission results in mitochondrial structural changes, dysfunction, and cell damage. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that mitochondrial dynamics affect neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases along with several other diseases. Biological molecules regulating the process of mitochondrial fission are potential targets for developing therapeutic agents. Many natural products target the dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1)-dependent mitochondrial fission pathway, and their inhibitory effects ameliorate mitochondrial fragmentation. In this article, we reviewed the research literature that describes Drp1-dependent inhibition as a mechanism for the protective effects of natural compounds.

Abstract
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a widespread condition that affects millions of people each year, with an incidence rate of 0.1%-1.5%, and has a significant impact on human health. A range of stimuli, such as Helicobacter pylori, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, hyperacidity, stress, alcohol, smoking, and idiopathic disease states, can produce a sore in the gastrointestinal mucosal layer. For individuals infected with H. pylori, 2%-3% remain asymptomatic throughout their life. Although PUD treatments are available, genetic variations occurring in individuals because of geographical dissimilarity and antibiotic resistance pose limitations. Specifically, inflammatory cytokine gene polymorphisms have received immense attention in recent years because they appear to affect the severity and duration of stomach inflammation, which is induced by H. pylori infection, contributing to the initiation of PUD. In such a context, in-depth knowledge of interleukins may aid in the discovery of new targets and provide precautionary approaches for the treatment of PUD. This review aims to give insights into the importance of several interleukins that cognate with PUD and contribute to ulcer progression or healing by activating or dampening the host immunity. Furthermore, the available targets with clinical evidence have been explored in this review.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic drug that is utilized for solid tumors and hematologic malignancies, but its clinical application is hampered by life-threatening cardiotoxicity including cardiac dilation and heart failure. Mitochondrial quality control processes, including mitochondrial proteostasis, mitophagy, and mitochondrial dynamics and biogenesis, serve to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis in the cardiovascular system. Importantly, recent advances have unveiled a major role for defective mitochondrial quality control in the etiology of DOX cardiomyopathy. Moreover, specific interventions targeting these quality control mechanisms to preserve mitochondrial function have emerged as potential therapeutic strategies to attenuate DOX cardiotoxicity. However, clinical translation is challenging because of obscure mechanisms of action and potential adverse effects. The purpose of this review is to provide new insights regarding the role of mitochondrial quality control in the pathogenesis of DOX cardiotoxicity, and to explore promising therapeutic approaches targeting these mechanisms to aid clinical management.

Vagus nerve stimulation exerts cardioprotection against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity through inhibition of programmed cell death pathways. Cell Mol Life Sci 2022; 80:21. [PMID: 36583785 PMCID: PMC11072695 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-022-04678-4] [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: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The aberration of programmed cell death including cell death associated with autophagy/mitophagy, apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis can be observed in the development and progression of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been shown to exert cardioprotection against cardiomyocyte death through the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) under a variety of pathological conditions. However, the roles of VNS and its underlying mechanisms against DIC have never been investigated. Forty adults male Wistar rats were divided into 5 experimental groups: (i) control without VNS (CSham) group, (ii) doxorubicin (3 mg/kg/day, i.p.) without VNS (DSham) group, (iii) doxorubicin + VNS (DVNS) group, (iv) doxorubicin + VNS + mAChR antagonist (atropine; 1 mg/kg/day, ip, DVNS + Atro) group, and (v) doxorubicin + VNS + nAChR antagonist (mecamylamine; 7.5 mg/kg/day, ip, DVNS + Mec) group. Our results showed that doxorubicin insult led to left ventricular (LV) dysfunction through impaired cardiac autonomic balance, decreased mitochondrial function, imbalanced mitochondrial dynamics, and exacerbated cardiomyocyte death including autophagy/mitophagy, apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis. However, VNS treatment improved cardiac mitochondrial and autonomic functions, and suppressed excessive autophagy, apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and ferroptosis, leading to improved LV function. Consistent with this, ACh effectively improved cell viability and suppressed cell cytotoxicity in doxorubicin-treated H9c2 cells. In contrast, either inhibitors of muscarinic (mAChR) or nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) completely abrogated the favorable effects mediated by VNS and acetylcholine. These findings suggest that VNS exerts cardioprotective effects against doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte death via activation of both mAChR and nAChR.

Abstract
Hippophae rhamnoides L. is a deciduous shrub that contains many unique bioactive substances. This sea buckthorn possesses anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular protective properties. Herein, the effects of phenylpropyl compounds extracted from H. rhamnoides L. on doxorubicin (Dox)-induced cardiotoxicity were evaluated in zebrafish. Cardiac injury in zebrafish was induced using 35 μM Dox for 96 h, and 30 μM phenylpropanoid compounds were used as the protective treatment. The cardioprotective effects and mechanisms of the four phenylpropanoids were investigated using microscopy, behavioral analysis, acridine orange staining, western blotting, flow cytometry, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The extracted phenylpropanoids could significantly relieve Dox-induced cardiac injury in zebrafish and inhibit cardiomyocyte apoptosis. The mechanisms of action were mainly related to the stability of mitochondrial biogenesis and function maintained by phenylpropanoids in zebrafish. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the protective effect of sea buckthorn against myocardial injury in zebrafish. Our findings provide support for the further research and development of sea buckthorn and its components.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anthracycline chemotherapeutic anticancer drug with its life-threatening cardiotoxicity severely limiting its clinical application. Mitochondrial damage-induced cardiomyocyte death is considered an essential cue for DOX cardiotoxicity. FUN14 domain containing 1 (FUNDC1) is a mitochondrial membrane protein participating in the regulation of mitochondrial integrity in multiple diseases although its role in DOX cardiomyopathy remains elusive. Here, we examined whether PANoptosis, a novel type of programmed cell death closely associated with mitochondrial damage, was involved in DOX-induced heart injury, and FUNDC1-mediated regulation of cardiomyocyte PANoptosis, if any. FUNDC1 was downregulated in heart tissues in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and DOX-challenged mice. FUNDC1 deficiency aggravated DOX-induced cardiac dysfunction, mitochondrial injury, and cardiomyocyte PANoptosis. Further examination revealed that FUNDC1 countered cytoplasmic release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and activation of PANoptosome through interaction with mitochondrial Tu translation elongation factor (TUFM), a key factor in the translational expression and repair of mitochondrial DNA, via its 96-133 amino acid domain. TUFM intervention reversed FUNDC1-elicited protection against DOX-induced mtDNA cytosolic release and cardiomyocyte PANoptosis. Our findings shed light toward a beneficial role of FUNDC1 in DOX cardiotoxicity and cardiomyocyte PANoptosis, thus offering therapeutic promises in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Ferroptosis induced by detrimental accumulation of lipid peroxides has been recently linked to a variety of pathological conditions ranging from acute tissue injuries to chronic degenerative diseases and suppression of ferroptosis by small chemical inhibitors is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of these diseases. However, in vivo applicable small chemical ferroptosis inhibitors are limited currently. In this study, we screened an alkaloid natural compound library for compounds that can inhibit RSL3-induced ferroptosis in HT1080 cells and identified a group of bisbenzylisoquinoline (BBIQ) compounds as novel ferroptosis-specific inhibitors. These BBIQ compounds are structurally different from known ferroptosis inhibitors and they do not appear to regulate iron homeostasis or lipid ROS generation pathways, while they are able to scavenge 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) in cell-free reactions and prevent accumulation of lipid peroxides in living cells. These BBIQ compounds demonstrate good in vivo activities as they effectively protect mice from folic acid-induced renal tubular ferroptosis and acute kidney injury. Several BBIQ compounds are approved drugs in Japan and China for traditional uses and cepharanthine is currently in clinical trials against SARS-CoV-2, our discovery of BBIQs as in vivo applicable ferroptosis inhibitors will expand their usage to prevent ferroptotic tissue damages under various pathological conditions.

Abstract
Mitochondria are organelles involved in the regulation of various important cellular processes, ranging from ATP generation to immune activation. A healthy mitochondrial network is essential for cardiovascular function and adaptation to pathological stressors. Mitochondria undergo fission or fusion in response to various environmental cues, and these dynamic changes are vital for mitochondrial function and health. In particular, mitochondrial fission is closely coordinated with the cell cycle and is linked to changes in mitochondrial respiration and membrane permeability. Another key function of fission is the segregation of damaged mitochondrial components for degradation by mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy). Mitochondrial fission is induced by the large GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) and is subject to sophisticated regulation. Activation requires various post-translational modifications of DRP1, actin polymerization and the involvement of other organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes. A decrease in mitochondrial fusion can also shift the balance towards mitochondrial fission. Although mitochondrial fission is necessary for cellular homeostasis, this process is often aberrantly activated in cardiovascular disease. Indeed, strong evidence exists that abnormal mitochondrial fission directly contributes to disease development. In this Review, we compare the physiological and pathophysiological roles of mitochondrial fission and discuss the therapeutic potential of preventing excessive mitochondrial fission in the heart and vasculature.

Abstract
Ras-related protein Rab-20 (Rab20) is induced in hypoxia and contributes to hypoxia-induced apoptosis. However, the role and mechanism of Rab20 in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury need to be elucidated. We established a cerebral I/R injury model in the mice and an oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) model in HT22 cells to determine the effects of Rab20 in cerebral I/R injury. Rab20 expression was upregulated in mice after I/R and in HT22 cells after OGD/R. Upregulated Rab20 was mainly located in neurons. Rab20 inhibition significantly alleviated brain infarct volume, neurological deficits, and neuronal apoptosis in mice after I/R. Moreover, Rab20 knockdown significantly ameliorated the OGD/R-induced inhibition of cell viability and apoptotic cell death in HT22 cells. Rab20 knockdown significantly alleviated OGD/R-induced mitochondrial fission by repressing mitochondrial dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp-1) recruitment and increasing Drp-1 (Ser637) phosphorylation and ameliorated mitochondrial dysfunction by reducing the mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cellular calcium accumulation and increasing the mitochondrial membrane potential. In addition, Rab20 knockdown significantly alleviated cytochrome c release from the mitochondria into the cytosol in HT22 cells after OGD/R. Rab20 contributes to cerebral I/R injury by regulating mitochondria-associated apoptosis pathways. Targeting Rab20 may be an attractive strategy for the treatment of cerebral I/R injury.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anthracycline chemotherapy drug, which is indispensable in antitumor therapy. However, its subsequent induction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become the primary cause of mortality in cancer survivors. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetics changes have become a significant marker for doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). Here, we mainly summarize the related mechanisms of DOX-induced cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetics disorders reported in recent years, including mitochondrial substrate metabolism, the mitochondrial respiratory chain, myocardial ATP storage and utilization, and other mechanisms affecting mitochondrial bioenergetics. In addition, intervention for DOX-induced cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetics disorders using chemical drugs and traditional herbal medicine is also summarized, which will provide a comprehensive process to study and develop more appropriate therapeutic strategies for DIC.

Abstract
Many anticancer therapies (CTx) have cardiotoxic side effects that limit their therapeutic potential and cause long-term cardiovascular complications in cancer survivors. This has given rise to the field of cardio-oncology, which recognizes the need for basic, translational, and clinical research focused on understanding the complex signaling events that drive CTx-induced cardiovascular toxicity. Several CTx agents cause mitochondrial damage in the form of mitochondrial DNA deletions, mutations, and suppression of respiratory function and ATP production. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the cardiovascular complications of clinically used CTx agents and discuss current knowledge of local and systemic secondary signaling events that arise in response to mitochondrial stress/damage. Mitochondrial oxidative stress has long been recognized as a contributor to CTx-induced cardiotoxicity; thus, we focus on emerging roles for mitochondria in epigenetic regulation, innate immunity, and signaling via noncoding RNAs and mitochondrial hormones. Because data exploring mitochondrial secondary signaling in the context of cardio-oncology are limited, we also draw upon clinical and preclinical studies, which have examined these pathways in other relevant pathologies.

The Role of Mitochondrial Quality Control in Anthracycline-Induced Cardiotoxicity: From Bench to Bedside. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:3659278.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity is the major side effect of anthracyclines (doxorubicin, daunorubicin, epirubicin, and idarubicin), though being the most commonly used chemotherapy drugs and the mainstay of therapy in solid and hematological neoplasms. Advances in the field of cardio-oncology have expanded our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). AIC has a complex pathogenesis that includes a variety of aspects such as oxidative stress, autophagy, and inflammation. Emerging evidence has strongly suggested that the loss of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) plays an important role in the progression of AIC. Mitochondria are vital organelles in the cardiomyocytes that serve as the key regulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, energy metabolism, cell death, and calcium buffering. However, as mitochondria are susceptible to damage, the MQC system, including mitochondrial dynamics (fusion/fission), mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and mitochondrial protein quality control, appears to be crucial in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. In this review, we summarize current evidence on the role of MQC in the pathogenesis of AIC and highlight the therapeutic potential of restoring the cardiomyocyte MQC system in the prevention and intervention of AIC.

Potential Cardioprotective Effects and Lipid Mediator Differences in Long-Chain Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Supplemented Mice Given Chemotherapy. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12090782. [PMID: 36144189 PMCID: PMC9505633 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12090782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2022] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Many commonly used chemotherapies induce mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiac muscle, which leads to cardiotoxicity and heart failure later in life. Dietary long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFA) have demonstrated cardioprotective function in non-chemotherapy models of heart failure, potentially through the formation of LC n-3 PUFA-derived bioactive lipid metabolites. However, it is unknown whether dietary supplementation with LC n-3 PUFA can protect against chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. To test this, 36 female ovariectomized C57BL/6J mice were randomized in a two-by-two factorial design to either a low (0 g/kg EPA + DHA) or high (12.2 g/kg EPA + DHA) LC n-3 PUFA diet, and received either two vehicle or two chemotherapy (9 mg/kg anthracycline + 90 mg/kg cyclophosphamide) tail vein injections separated by two weeks. Body weight and food intake were measured as well as heart gene expression and fatty acid composition. Heart mitochondria were isolated using differential centrifugation. Mitochondrial isolate oxylipin and N-acylethanolamide levels were measured by mass spectrometry after alkaline hydrolysis. LC n-3 PUFA supplementation attenuated some chemotherapy-induced differences (Myh7, Col3a1) in heart gene expression, and significantly altered various lipid species in cardiac mitochondrial preparations including several epoxy fatty acids [17(18)-EpETE] and N-acylethanolamines (arachidonoylethanolamine, AEA), suggesting a possible functional link between heart lipids and cardiotoxicity.

FAT10 Combined with Miltefosine Inhibits Mitochondrial Apoptosis and Energy Metabolism in Hypoxia-Induced H9C2 Cells by Regulating the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:4388919. [PMID: 36034957 PMCID: PMC9410791 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4388919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2022] [Revised: 06/26/2022] [Accepted: 07/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis is the main contributor to heart diseases. Human leukocyte antigen F-associated transcript 10 (FAT10), the small ubiquitin-like protein family subtype involved in apoptosis, is expressed in the heart and exhibits cardioprotective functions. This study explored the impact of FAT10 on hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and the involved mechanisms. The cardiomyocyte cell line H9C2 was cultivated in hypoxia-inducing conditions (94% N2, 5% CO2, and 1% O2) and the expression of FAT10 in hypoxia-stimulated H9C2 cells was identified. For this, FAT10 overexpression/interference vectors were exposed to transfection into H9C2 cells with/without the PI3K/AKT inhibitor, miltefosine. The results indicated that hypoxia exposure decreased the FAT10 expression, suppressed H9C2 cell growth, disrupted mitochondrial metabolism, and promoted H9C2 cell apoptosis and oxidative stress. However, these impacts were reversed by the FAT10 overexpression. In addition, the inhibition of PI3K/AKT in FAT10-overexpressing cells suppressed cell proliferation, impaired mitochondrial metabolism, and promoted apoptosis and oxidative stress response. The findings demonstrated that FAT10 inhibited mitochondrial apoptosis and energy metabolism in hypoxia-stimulated H9C2 cells through the PI3K/AKT pathway. This finding can be utilized for developing therapeutic targets for treating heart disorders associated with hypoxia-induced apoptosis.

Combination of sodium butyrate and probiotics ameliorates severe burn-induced intestinal injury by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Burns 2022; 48:1213-1220.

Abstract
Burns are a common traumatic injuries with considerable morbidity and mortality rates. Post-burn intestinal injuries are closely related to oxidative stress and inflammatory response. The aim of the current study was to investigate the combined effect of sodium butyrate (NaB) and probiotics (PROB) on severe burn-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory response and the underlying mechanism of action. Sprague-Dawley rats with severe burns were treated with NaB with or without PROB. Pathomorphology of skin and small intestine tissue was observed using hematoxylin and eosin staining and severe burn-induced apoptosis in small intestine tissue was examined via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling assay. The release of factors related to inflammation was quantified using ELISA kits and qRT-PCR and levels of oxidative stress markers were evaluated using biochemical assays. Furthermore, mitochondrial morphological changes in small intestinal epithelial cells were observed using transmission electron microscopy. In addition, the underlying mechanism associated with the combined effect of NaB and PROB on severe burn-induced oxidative stress and inflammatory response was investigated using western blotting. The combination of NaB and PROB exerted protective effects against severe burn-induced intestinal barrier injury by reducing the levels of diamine oxidase and intestinal fatty acid binding protein. Combined NaB and PROB treatment inhibited severe burn-induced oxidative stress by increasing superoxide dismutase levels and decreasing those of malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase levels. Severe burn-induced inflammation was suppressed by combined NaB and PROB administration, as demonstrated by the decreased mRNA expression of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-1β, and high mobility group box-1 in the small intestine. In addition, this study showed that combined NaB and PROB administration increased nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein expression and decreased the phosphorylation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2). In conclusion, our findings indicate that combined NaB and PROB treatment may inhibit severe burn-induced inflammation and oxidative stress in the small intestine by regulating HMGB1/NF-κB and ERK1/2/Nrf2 signaling, thereby providing a new therapeutic strategy for intestinal injury induced by severe burn.

Abstract
Cardiotoxicity has emerged as a major side effect of doxorubicin (DOX) treatment, affecting nearly 30% of patients within 5 years after chemotherapy. Heart failure is the first non-cancer cause of death in DOX-treated patients. Although many different molecular mechanisms explaining the cardiac derangements induced by DOX were identified in past decades, the translation to clinical practice has remained elusive to date. This review examines the current understanding of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy (DCM) with a focus on mitochondria, which were increasingly proven to be crucial determinants of DOX-induced cytotoxicity. We discuss DCM pathophysiology and epidemiology and DOX-induced detrimental effects on mitochondrial function, dynamics, biogenesis, and autophagy. Lastly, we review the current perspectives to contrast the development of DCM, which is still a relatively diffused, invalidating, and life-threatening condition for cancer survivors.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most common chemotherapeutic anti-cancer drugs. However, its clinical use is restricted by serious cardiotoxicity. Oleoylethanolamide (OEA), a structural congener of endocannabinoid anandamide, is the endogenous agonist of peroxisome proliferator activated-receptor α (PPARα) and transient receptor potential cation channel vanilloid-1 (TRPV1), and involved in many physiological processes. The present study aimed to determine whether OEA treatment protects against DOX-induced cytotoxicity (DIC) and gain insights into the underlying mechanism that mediate these effects. Our data revealed that Oleoylethanolamide treatment improved the myocardial structure in DOX-challenged mice by attenuating cardiac oxidative stress and cell apoptosis. OEA also alleviated DOX-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis dysregulation in HL-1 cardiomyocyte. These effects were mediated by activation of TRPV1 and upregulation of PI3K/ Akt signaling pathway. Inhibition of TRPV1 and PI3K reversed the protective effects of OEA. Taken together, our data suggested that OEA protects against DIC through a TRPV1- mediated PI3K/ Akt pathway.
