Abstract
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that continuously undergo fusion/fission to maintain normal cell physiological activities and energy metabolism. When mitochondrial dynamics is unbalanced, mitochondrial homeostasis is broken, thus damaging mitochondrial function. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that impairment in mitochondrial dynamics leads to lung tissue injury and pulmonary disease progression in a variety of disease models, including inflammatory responses, apoptosis, and barrier breakdown, and that the role of mitochondrial dynamics varies among pulmonary diseases. These findings suggest that modulation of mitochondrial dynamics may be considered as a valid therapeutic strategy in pulmonary diseases. In this review, we discuss the current evidence on the role of mitochondrial dynamics in pulmonary diseases, with a particular focus on its underlying mechanisms in the development of acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary fibrosis (PF), pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), lung cancer and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and outline effective drugs targeting mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins, highlighting the great potential of targeting mitochondrial dynamics in the treatment of pulmonary disease.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Proinflammatory hyperactivation of Kupffer cells (KCs) is foremost involved in the pathogenesis of sepsis-induced liver injury. Our previous study found that stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling was activated in KCs in response of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and knocking down dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) in KCs effectively inhibited the activation of STING signaling and the subsequent production of proinflammatory cytokines. In this study, we demonstrated that in vivo treatment with mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1), a selective inhibitor of DRP1, alleviated cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced liver injury with the improvement of liver pathology and function. Moreover, we found that STING in liver was mainly concentrated in KCs and STING signaling was significantly activated in KCs after CLP. The STING deficiency effectively ameliorated liver injury and decreased the mortality of septic mice, which were reversely worsened by the enhanced activation of STING with DMXAA. The further study showed that Mdivi-1 markedly attenuated STING signaling activation in KCs and inhibited systemic inflammatory response. Importantly, DMXAA application in CLP mice blunted Mdivi-1's liver protection effect. Taken together, our study confirmed Mdivi-1 effectively alleviated CLP-induced liver injury partially through inhibiting STING signaling activation in KCs, which provides new insights and a novel potential pharmacological therapeutic target for treating septic liver injury.

Hypoxia leads to gill endoplasmic reticulum stress and disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella): Mitigation effect of thiamine. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 469:134005. [PMID: 38484660 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Hypoxia in water environment is one of the important problems faced by intensive aquaculture. Under hypoxia stress, the effects of dietary thiamine were investigated on grass carp gill tissue damage and their mechanisms. Six thiamine diets with different thiamine levels (0.22, 0.43, 0.73, 1.03, 1.33 and 1.63 mg/kg) were fed grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) for 63 days. Then, 96-hour hypoxia stress test was conducted. This study described that thiamine enhanced the growth performance of adult grass carp and ameliorated nutritional status of thiamine (pyruvic acid, glucose, lactic acid and transketolase). Additionally, thiamine alleviated the deterioration of blood parameters [glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT), glucose, cortisol, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH), erythrocyte fragility, and red blood cell count (RBC count)] caused by hypoxia stress, and reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) content and oxidative damage to the gills. In addition, thiamine alleviated endoplasmic reticulum stress in the gills, which may be related to its inhibition of RNA-dependent protein kinase-like ER kinase (PERK)/eukaryotic translation initiation factor-2α (eIF2α)/activating transcription factor4 (ATF4), inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)/X-Box binding protein 1 (XBP1) and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) pathways. Furthermore, thiamine maintaining mitochondrial dynamics balance was probably related to promoting mitochondrial fusion and inhibiting mitochondrial fission, and inhibiting mitophagy may involve PTEN induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin-dependent pathway and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-Bcl-2 adenovirus E1B 19 kDa interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) pathway. In summary, thiamine alleviated hypoxia stress in fish gills, which may be related to reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress, regulating mitochondrial dynamics balance and reducing mitophagy. The thiamine requirement for optimum growth [percent weight gain (PWG)] of adult grass carp was estimated to be 0.81 mg/kg diet. Based on the index of anti-hypoxia stress (ROS content in gill), the thiamine requirement for adult grass carp was estimated to be 1.32 mg/kg diet.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the centers of energy and material metabolism, and they also serve as the storage and dispatch hubs of metal ions. Damage to mitochondrial structure and function can cause abnormal levels and distribution of metal ions, leading to cell dysfunction and even death. For a long time, mitochondrial quality control pathways such as mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy have been considered to inhibit metal-induced cell death. However, with the discovery of new metal-dependent cell death including ferroptosis and cuproptosis, increasing evidence shows that there is a complex relationship between mitochondrial quality control and metal-dependent cell death. This article reviews the latest research results and mechanisms of crosstalk between mitochondrial quality control and metal-dependent cell death in recent years, as well as their involvement in neurodegenerative diseases, tumors and other diseases, in order to provide new ideas for the research and treatment of related diseases.

Abstract
Once thought of in terms of bioenergetics, mitochondria are now widely accepted as both the orchestrator of cellular health and the gatekeeper of cell death. The pulmonary disease field has performed extensive efforts to explore the role of mitochondria in regulating inflammation, cellular metabolism, apoptosis, and oxidative stress. However, a critical component of these processes needs to be more studied: mitochondrial network dynamics. Mitochondria morphologically change in response to their environment to regulate these processes through fusion, fission, and mitophagy. This allows mitochondria to adapt their function to respond to cellular requirements, a critical component in maintaining cellular homeostasis. For that reason, mitochondrial network dynamics can be considered a bridge that brings multiple cellular processes together, revealing a potential pathway for therapeutic intervention. In this review, we discuss the critical modulators of mitochondrial dynamics and how they are affected in pulmonary diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), acute lung injury (ALI), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A dysregulated mitochondrial network plays a crucial role in lung disease pathobiology, and aberrant fission/fusion/mitophagy pathways are druggable processes that warrant further exploration. Thus, we also discuss the candidates for lung disease therapeutics that regulate mitochondrial network dynamics.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 126:155186.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The effect fraction of Bletilla striata (Thunb.) Reichb.f. (EFBS), a phenolic-rich extract, has significant protective effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI), but its composition and molecular mechanisms are unclear. This study elucidated its chemical composition and possible protective mechanisms against LPS-induced ALI from an antioxidant perspective. METHODS EFBS was prepared by ethanol extraction, enriched by polyamide column chromatography, and characterized using ultra-performance liquid chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The LPS-induced ALI model and the RAW264.7 model were used to evaluate the regulatory effects of EFBS on oxidative stress, and transcriptome analysis was performed to explore its possible molecular mechanism. Then, the pathway by which EFBS regulates oxidative stress was validated through inhibitor intervention, flow cytometry, quantitative PCR, western blotting, and immunofluorescence techniques. RESULTS A total of 22 compounds in EFBS were identified. The transcriptome analyses of RAW264.7 cells indicated that EFBS might reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by inhibiting the p47phox/NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) pathway and upregulating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway. Both in vitro and in vivo data confirmed that EFBS significantly inhibited the expression and phosphorylation of p47phox protein, thereby weakening the p47phox/NOX2 pathway and reducing ROS production. EFBS significantly increased the expression of Nrf2 in primary peritoneal macrophages and lung tissue and promoted its nuclear translocation, dose-dependent increase in HO-1 levels, and enhancement of antioxidant activity. In vitro, both Nrf2 and HO-1 inhibitors significantly reduced the scavenging effects of EFBS on ROS, further confirming that EFBS exerts antioxidant effects at least partially by upregulating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. CONCLUSIONS EFBS contains abundant phenanthrenes and dibenzyl polyphenols, which can reduce ROS production by inhibiting the p47phox/NOX2 pathway and enhance ROS clearance activity by upregulating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, thereby exerting regulatory effects on oxidative stress and improving LPS-induced ALI.

Abstract
Mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1) is a well-known synthetic compound aimed at inhibiting dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) to suppress mitochondrial fission, making it a valuable tool for studying mitochondrial dynamics. However, its specific effects beyond Drp1 inhibition remain to be confirmed. In this study, we employed integrative proteomics and phosphoproteomics to delve into the molecular responses induced by Mdivi-1 in SK-N-BE(2)C cells. A total of 3070 proteins and 1945 phosphorylation sites were identified, with 880 of them represented as phosphoproteins. Among these, 266 proteins and 97 phosphorylation sites were found to be sensitive to the Mdivi-1 treatment. Functional enrichment analysis unveiled their involvement in serine biosynthesis and extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathways. Through targeted metabolomics, we observed that Mdivi-1 enhanced intracellular serine biosynthesis while reducing the production of C24:1-ceramide. Within these regulated phosphoproteins, dynamic dephosphorylation of proteasome subunit alpha type 3 serine 250 (PSMA3-S250) occurred after Mdivi-1 treatment. Further site-directed mutagenesis experiments revealed that the dephosphorylation-deficient mutant PSMA3-S250A exhibited a decreased cell survival. This research confirms that Mdivi-1's inhibition of mitochondrial division leads to various side effects, ultimately influencing cell survival, rather than solely targeting Drp1 inhibition.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dynamics are critical in cellular energy production, metabolism, apoptosis, and immune responses. Pathogenic bacteria have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to manipulate host cells' mitochondrial functions, facilitating their proliferation and dissemination. Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Tm), an intracellular foodborne pathogen, causes diarrhea and exploits host macrophages for survival and replication. However, S. Tm-associated mitochondrial dynamics during macrophage infection remain poorly understood. In this study, we showed that within macrophages, S. Tm remodeled mitochondrial fragmentation to facilitate intracellular proliferation mediated by Salmonella invasion protein A (SipA), a type III secretion system effector encoded by Salmonella pathogenicity island 1. SipA directly targeted mitochondria via its N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence, preventing excessive fragmentation and the associated increase in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, and release of mitochondrial DNA and cytochrome c into the cytosol. Macrophage replication assays and animal experiments showed that mitochondria and SipA interact to facilitate intracellular replication and pathogenicity of S. Tm. Furthermore, we showed that SipA delayed mitochondrial fragmentation by indirectly inhibiting the recruitment of cytosolic dynamin-related protein 1, which mediates mitochondrial fragmentation. This study revealed a novel mechanism through which S. Tm manipulates host mitochondrial dynamics, providing insights into the molecular interplay that facilitates S. Tm adaptation within host macrophages.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in the progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi1) is a potential inhibitor of dynamin-related protein (Drp1) and mitochondrial fission. However, the therapeutic effect of Mdivi1 against NASH and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS In this study, we established mouse models of NASH by inducing high-fat/high-cholesterol (HFHC) or methionine- and choline-deficient (MCD) diets and treated the animals with 5 mg/kg/day Mdivi1 or placebo. RESULTS Treatment with Mdivi1 significantly alleviated diet-induced fatty liver phenotypes, including increased liver weight/body weight ratio, insulin resistance, hepatic lipid accumulation, steatohepatitis, and liver injury. Furthermore, Mdivi1 treatment suppressed HFHC or MCD diet-induced changes in the expression of genes related to lipid metabolism and inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, Mdivi1 reduced macrophage infiltration in the injured liver and promoted polarization of macrophages towards the M1 phenotype. At the molecular level, Mdivi1 attenuated mitochondrial fission by reducing Drp1 activation and expression, thereby decreasing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species accumulation and mitochondrial DNA damage. Moreover, Mdivi1-treated mice exhibited elevated levels of phosphorylated-c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK), mitochondrial fission factor (MFF), cleaved caspase 3 protein, and TUNEL-positive cell expression in the liver, suggesting that Mdivi1 might ameliorate mitochondrial dysfunction and reduce hepatocyte apoptosis by inhibiting the JNK/MFF pathway. CONCLUSION Collectively, Mdivi1 protected against diet-induced NASH by restoring mitochondrial homeostasis and function, potentially through its inhibitory effect on the JNK/MFF pathway. Consequently, further investigation of Mdivi1 as a promising drug for NASH treatment is warranted.

Abstract
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common brain dysfunction, which results in severe cognitive and neurological sequelae and an increased mortality rate in patients with sepsis. Depending on the stimulus, microglia (resident macrophages in the brain that are involved in SAE pathology and physiology) can adopt two polarization states (M1/M2), corresponding to altered microglial morphology, gene expression, and function. We systematically described the pathogenesis, morphology, function, and phenotype of microglial activation in SAE and demonstrated that microglia are closely related to SAE occurrence and development, and concomitant cognitive impairment. Finally, some potential therapeutic approaches that can prime microglia and neuroinflammation toward the beneficial restorative microglial phenotype in SAE were outlined.

Abstract
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), a critical clinical syndrome, has been strongly linked to mitochondrial malfunction. Mitochondria, vital cellular organelles, play a key role in regulating cellular energy metabolism and ensuring cell survival. Impaired mitochondrial function in AKI leads to decreased energy generation, elevated oxidative stress, and the initiation of inflammatory cascades, resulting in renal tissue damage and functional impairment. Therefore, mitochondria have gained significant research attention as a potential therapeutic target for AKI. Mitochondrial dynamics, which encompass the adaptive shifts of mitochondria within cellular environments, exert significant influence on mitochondrial function. Modulating these dynamics, such as promoting mitochondrial fusion and inhibiting mitochondrial division, offers opportunities to mitigate renal injury in AKI. Consequently, elucidating the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dynamics has gained considerable importance, providing valuable insights into mitochondrial regulation and facilitating the development of innovative therapeutic approaches for AKI. This comprehensive review aims to highlight the latest advancements in mitochondrial dynamics research, provide an exhaustive analysis of existing studies investigating the relationship between mitochondrial dynamics and acute injury, and shed light on their implications for AKI. The ultimate goal is to advance the development of more effective therapeutic interventions for managing AKI.

Attenuation of PM 2.5-induced alveolar epithelial cells and lung injury through regulation of mitochondrial fission and fusion. Part Fibre Toxicol 2023; 20:28.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) is a risk factor for developing pulmonary diseases and the worsening of ongoing disease. Mitochondrial fission and fusion are essential processes underlying mitochondrial homeostasis in health and disease. We examined the role of mitochondrial fission and fusion in PM2.5-induced alveolar epithelial cell damage and lung injury. Key genes in these processes include dystrophin-related protein 1 (DRP1) and optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) respectively. METHODS Alveolar epithelial (A549) cells were treated with PM2.5 (32 µg/ml) in the presence and absence of Mdivi-1 (10µM, a DRP1 inhibitor) or BGP-15 (10µM, an OPA1 activator). Results were validated using DRP1-knockdown (KD) and OPA1-overexpression (OE). Mice were injected intraperitoneally with Mdivi-1 (20 mg/kg), BGP-15 (20 mg/kg) or distilled water (control) one hour before intranasal instillation of PM2.5 (7.8 mg/kg) or distilled water for two consecutive days. RESULTS PM2.5 exposure of A549 cells caused oxidative stress, enhanced inflammation, necroptosis, mitophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction indicated by abnormal mitochondrial morphology, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), reduced mitochondrial respiration and disrupted mitochondrial fission and fusion. Regulating mitochondrial fission and fusion pharmacologically using Mdivi-1 and BGP-15 and genetically using DRP1-KD and OPA1-OE prevented PM2.5-induced celluar damage in A549 cells. Mdivi-1 and BGP-15 attenuated PM2.5-induced acute lung injury in mice. CONCLUSION Increased mitochondrial fission and decreased mitochondrial fusion may underlie PM2.5-induced alveolar epithelial cell damage in vitro and lung injury in vivo.

Abstract
Acute lung injury (ALI) is a common critical disease of the respiratory system that progresses into acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with high mortality, mainly related to pulmonary oxidative stress imbalance and severe inflammation. However, there are no clear and effective treatment strategies at present. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2) is a transcription factor that interacts with multiple signaling pathways and regulates the activity of multiple oxidases (NOX, NOS, XO, CYP) related to inflammation and apoptosis, and exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory roles in ALI. Recently, several studies have reported that the active ingredients of natural medicines show protective effects on ALI via the Nrf2 signaling pathway. In addition, they are cheap, naturally available, and possess minimal toxicity, thereby having good clinical research and application value. Herein, we summarized various studies on the protective effects of natural pharmaceutical components such as polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, and polysaccharides on ALI through the Nrf2 signaling pathway and demonstrated existing gaps as well as future perspectives.

Downregulation of SIRT3 Aggravates Lung Ischemia Reperfusion Injury by Increasing Mitochondrial Fission and Oxidative Stress through HIF-1α-Dependent Mechanisms. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:9041914.

Abstract
Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (LIRI) is a severe multifaceted pathological condition that can lead to poor patient outcome where oxidative stress and the resulting inflammatory response can trigger and exacerbate tissue damage in LIRI patients. Sirtuin3 (SIRT3), a member of the sirtuin family, protects against oxidative stress-related diseases. However, it remains unclear if and how SIRT3 alleviates lung injury induced by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Our previous study showed that lung tissue structures were severely damaged at 6 h after lung I/R in mice, however, repair of the injured lung tissue was significant at 24 h. In this study, we found that both SIRT3 mRNA and protein levels were markedly increased at 24 h after lung I/R in vivo. Meanwhile, inhibition of SIRT3 aggravated lung injury and inflammation, augmented mitochondrial fission and oxidative stress and increased Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression in vivo. The results suggest that SIRT3 may be an upstream regulator of HIF-1α expression. Knockdown of SIRT3 resulted in excessive mitochondrial fission and increased oxidative stress in vitro, and we found that knocking down the expression of HIF-1α alleviated these changes. This suggests that the SIRT3-HIF-1α signaling pathway is involved in regulating mitochondrial function and oxidative stress. Furthermore, inhibition of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp-1) by the inhibitor of mitophagy, Mdivi-1, blocked mitochondrial fission and alleviated oxidative stress in vitro. Taken together, our results demonstrated that downregulation of SIRT3 aggravates LIRI by increasing mitochondrial fission and oxidative stress. Activation of SIRT3 inhibits mitochondrial fission and this mechanism may serve as a new therapeutic strategy to treat LIRI.

Abstract
Necroptosis, a recently described form of programmed cell death, is the main way of alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) death in acute lung injury (ALI). While the mechanism of how to trigger necroptosis in AECs during ALI has been rarely evaluated. Long optic atrophy protein 1 (L-OPA1) is a crucial mitochondrial inner membrane fusion protein, and its deficiency impairs mitochondrial function. This study aimed to investigate the role of L-OPA1 deficiency-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction in AECs necroptosis. We comprehensively investigated the detailed contribution and molecular mechanism of L-OPA1 deficiency in AECs necroptosis by inhibiting or activating L-OPA1. Firstly, our data showed that L-OPA1 expression was down-regulated in the lungs and AECs under the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. Furthermore, inhibition of L-OPA1 aggravated the pathological injury, inflammatory response, and necroptosis in the lungs of LPS-induced ALI mice. In vitro, inhibition of L-OPA1 induced necroptosis of AECs, while activation of L-OPA1 alleviated necroptosis of AECs under the LPS challenge. Mechanistically, inhibition of L-OPA1 aggravated necroptosis of AECs by inducing mitochondrial fragmentation and reducing mitochondrial membrane potential. While activation of L-OPA1 had the opposite effects. In summary, these findings indicate for the first time that L-OPA1 deficiency mediates mitochondrial fragmentation, induces necroptosis of AECs, and exacerbates ALI in mice.

Abstract
Mitochondrial division inhibitor-1 (mdivi-1), a non-specific inhibitor of Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fission, is neuroprotective in numerous preclinical disease models. These include rodent models of Alzheimer’s disease and ischemic or traumatic brain injury. Among its Drp1-independent actions, the compound was found to suppress mitochondrial Complex I-dependent respiration but with less resultant mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) emission compared with the classical Complex I inhibitor rotenone. We employed two different methods of quantifying Trolox-equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) to test the prediction that mdivi-1 can directly scavenge free radicals. Mdivi-1 exhibited moderate antioxidant activity in the 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline 6-sulfonate) (ABTS) assay. Half-maximal ABTS radical depletion was observed at ~25 μM mdivi-1, equivalent to that achieved by ~12.5 μM Trolox. Mdivi-1 also showed antioxidant activity in the α, α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. However, mdivi-1 exhibited a reduced capacity to deplete the DPPH radical, which has a more sterically hindered radical site compared with ABTS, with 25 μM mdivi-1 displaying only 0.8 μM Trolox equivalency. Both assays indicate that mdivi-1 possesses biochemical antioxidant activity but with modest potency relative to the vitamin E analog Trolox. Future studies are needed to evaluate whether the ability of mdivi-1 to directly scavenge free radicals contributes to its mechanisms of neuroprotection.

Mitochondrial division inhibitor 1(Mdivi-1) has been shown to play a beneficial role in a variety of diseases, mainly by inhibiting Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission. The effects of Mdivi-1 on cardiac fibrosis at infarcted border zone area and its possible mechanism remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Mdivi-1 on reactive cardiac fibrosis and cardiac function post myocardial infarction and its potential mechanisms. Mice were randomly divided into six groups(n = 9 for each group): Sham; Mdivi-1; MI 7d; MI 14d; MI 28d; MI 28d + Mdivi-1. The MI model was induced by ligation of LAD coronary artery. Mdivi-1 (1mg/kg) was administered to mice every other day at a time from the second day until the sacrifice of the mice (total 14 injection of Mdivi-1). In vitro experiments, the effect of Mdivi-1 on TGF-β1-induced fibrosis-related pathophysiological changes of fibroblasts was examined in NIH3T3 cells. We found that Mdivi-1 significantly attenuated fibroblast activation, collagen production and fibrosis at infarcted border zone after MI, improved impaired heart function. Mechanistically, we observed that Mdivi-1 reduced the protein expression of P-Drp1-S616 and abnormal mitochondrial fission of cardiac fibroblasts in the infarcted border zone area. In addition, we found that the effects of Mdivi-1 partially relied on increasing the expression of Hmox1 and inhibiting oxidative stress. In conclusion, Mdivi-1 could attenuate cardiac fibrosis at infarcted border zone and improve impaired heart function partially through attenuation of Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission. Moreover, inhibition of oxidative stress, which is possible due to the up-regulation of Hmox1, may be another potential mechanism of action of Mdivi-1.

Abstract
Mitochondrion plays an indispensable role during preimplantation embryo development. Dynamic-related protein 1 (DRP1) is critical for mitochondrial fission and controls oocyte maturation. However, its role in preimplantation embryo development is still lacking. In this study, we demonstrate that inhibition of DRP1 activity by mitochondrial division inhibitor-1, a small molecule reported to specifically inhibit DRP1 activity, can cause severe developmental arrest of preimplantation embryos in a dose-dependent manner in mice. Meanwhile, DRP1 inhibition resulted in mitochondrial dysfunction including decreased mitochondrial activity, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, reduced mitochondrial copy number and inadequate ATP by disrupting both expression and activity of DRP1 and mitochondrial complex assembly, leading to excessive ROS production, severe DNA damage and cell cycle arrest at 2-cell embryo stage. Furthermore, reduced transcriptional and translational activity and altered histone modifications in DRP1-inhibited embryos contributed to impeded zygotic genome activation, which prevented early embryos from efficient development beyond 2-cell embryo stage. These results show that DRP1 inhibition has potential cytotoxic effects on mammalian reproduction, and DRP1 inhibitor should be used with caution when it is applied to treat diseases. Additionally, this study improves our understanding of the crosstalk between mitochondrial metabolism and zygotic genome activation.

DRP1-Mediated Mitochondrial Fission Regulates Lung Epithelial Response to Allergen. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222011125.

Abstract
Mitochondria regulate a myriad of cellular functions. Dysregulation of mitochondrial control within airway epithelial cells has been implicated in the pro-inflammatory response to allergens in asthma patients. Because of their multifaceted nature, mitochondrial structure must be tightly regulated through fission and fusion. Dynamin Related Protein 1 (DRP1) is a key driver of mitochondrial fission. During allergic asthma, airway epithelial mitochondria appear smaller and structurally altered. The role of DRP1-mediated mitochondrial fission, however, has not been fully elucidated in epithelial response to allergens. We used a Human Bronchial Epithelial Cell line (HBECs), primary Mouse Tracheal Epithelial Cells (MTECs), and conditional DRP1 ablation in lung epithelial cells to investigate the impact of mitochondrial fission on the pro-inflammatory response to house dust mite (HDM) in vitro and in vivo. Our data suggest that, following HDM challenge, mitochondrial fission is rapidly upregulated in airway epithelial cells and precedes production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Further, deletion of Drp1 in lung epithelial cells leads to decreased fission and enhanced pro-inflammatory signaling in response to HDM in vitro, as well as enhanced airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR), inflammation, differential mucin transcription, and epithelial cell death in vivo. Mitochondrial fission, therefore, regulates the lung epithelial pro-inflammatory response to HDM.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that melatonin can mitigate cryopreservation-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in oocytes; however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether melatonin can improve the mitochondrial function during in vitro maturation of vitrified-warmed mouse germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes by modulating phosphorylation of dynamin related protein 1 (Drp1). Vitrification/warming procedures resulted in the following: (1) After cryopreservation of mouse GV oocytes, the phosphorylation level of Drp1 at Ser616 (p-Drp1 Ser616) in metaphase II (MII) oocytes was increased (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the rates of in vitro maturation, cleavage and blastocyst formation after parthenogenetic activation were decreased (P < 0.05). (2) In MII oocytes, the expression levels of translocase of the mitochondrial outer membrane 20 (TOMM20), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, and mRNA levels of mitochondrial biogenesis-related genes (Sirt1, Pgc-1α, Tfam) were all decreased (P < 0.05), and (3) Reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, early apoptosis level, Cytochrome C release and mRNA levels of pro-apoptotic related genes (Bax, Caspase9, Caspase3) in MII oocytes were all increased (P < 0.05). The results of this study further revealed that negative impacts of GV oocyte cryopreservation were mitigated by supplementation of warming and in vitro maturation media with 10−7mol /L melatonin or 2 x 10−5mol/L Mdivi-1 (Drp1 inhibitor). Therefore, we concluded that 10−7mol/L melatonin improved mitochondrial function, reduced oxidative stress and inhibited apoptosis by regulating phosphorylation of Drp1, thereby enhancing in vitro development of vitrified-warmed mouse GV oocytes.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced lung injury was the most common cause of death in patients. Topiroxostat, a novel xanthine oxidoreductase inhibitors, possessed obvious organ protectives effects. Xanthine oxidase played a vital role in acute lung injury. The study aimed to investigate the roles of Topiroxostat in sepsis-induced lung injury. The sepsis rats were established using cecum ligation and perforation. The lung damage induced by sepsis was evaluated by Hematoxylin and Eosin staining and lung tissue wet to dry ratio. The oxidative stress was detected by measurement of reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, myeloperoxidase and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The pro-inflammatory mediators, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and monocyte chemotactic protein 1, were measured by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay. The cell apoptosis in lung was detected by TUNNEL staining and western blot analysis of apoptosis-related proteins including pro-apoptosis proteins, Bax, cleaved caspase9, cleaved caspase3 and anti-apoptosis protein Bcl2. The results showed that Topiroxostat significantly reduced lung damage, along with decreased oxidative stress, inflammation response and apoptosis in sepsis rats. Topiroxostat exerted markedly protective effects in sepsis-induced lung injury and could be an antioxidant in treating sepsis-induced lung injury.

Abstract
Previous work has shown an association between vitamin D3 deficiency and an increased risk for acquiring various inflammatory diseases. Vitamin D3 can reduce morbidity and mortality in these patients via different mechanisms. Lung inflammation is an important event in the initiation and development of respiratory disorders. However, the anti-inflammatory effects of vitamin D3 and the underlying mechanisms remained to be determined. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects and mechanisms of action of vitamin D3 (Vit. D) on the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in vitro and in vivo with or without tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) treatment. Pretreatment with Vit. D reduced the expression of ICAM-1 and leukocyte adhesion in TNF-α-treated A549 cells. TNF-α increased the accumulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), while Vit. D reduced this effect. Pretreatment with Vit. D attenuated TNF-α-induced mitochondrial fission, as shown by the increased expression of mitochondrial fission factor (Mff), phosphorylated dynamin-related protein 1 (p-DRP1), and mitophagy-related proteins (BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3, Bnip3) in A549 cells. Inhibition of DRP1 or Mff significantly decreased ICAM-1 expression. In addition, we found that Vit. D decreased TNF-α-induced ICAM-1 expression, mitochondrial fission, and mitophagy via the AKT and NF-κB pathways. Moreover, ICAM-1 expression, mitochondrial fission, and mitophagy were increased in the lung tissues of TNF-α-treated mice, while Vit. D supplementation reduced these effects. In this study, we elucidated the mechanisms by which Vit. D reduces the expression of adhesion molecules in models of airway inflammation. Vit. D might be served as a novel therapeutic agent for the targeting of epithelial activation in lung inflammation.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome attributed to infection, while sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) has high morbidity and mortality. Here, we aimed to explore the specific mechanism of hypaphorine's anti-inflammatory effects in ALI. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was adopted to construct ALI model both in vivo and in vitro. BEAS-2B cell viability and apoptosis was testified by the MTT assay and flow cytometry. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed to examine the expression of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-18), and Western blot was adopted to examine the expression of the apoptosis-related proteins (Bax, Bcl2, and Caspase3) and the DUSP1/p38/JNK signaling pathway. At the same time, lung injury score, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were monitored. The dry/wet weight method was used to examine lung edema, and the total protein content in BALF was determined to test pulmonary vascular permeability. As the data suggested, hypaphorine inhibited the LPS-mediated apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells. What is more, hypaphorine attenuated the expression of inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-18) and inactivated the p38/JNK signaling pathway through upregulating DUSP1 in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, DUSP1 knockdown weakened the anti-inflammatory effect of hypaphorine on LPS-mediated lung injury. Furthermore, hypaphorine also relieved LPS induced ALI in rats with anti-inflammatory effects. Taken together, hypaphorine prevented LPS-mediated ALI and proinflammatory response via inactivating the p38/JNK signaling pathway by upregulating DUSP1.

Abstract
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory disease with an unacceptably high mortality rate caused by an infection or trauma that involves both innate and adaptive immune systems. Inflammatory events activate different downstream pathways leading to tissue damage and ultimately multi-organ failure. Mitochondria are responsible for cellular energy, thermoregulation, metabolite biosynthesis, intracellular calcium regulation, and cell death. Damaged mitochondria induce the high Ca2+ influx through mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU). It also generates excessive Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and releases mtDNA into the cytoplasm, which causes induction of NLRP3 inflammasome and apoptosis. Mitophagy (Autophagy of damaged mitochondria) controls mitochondrial dynamics and function. It also maintains cellular homeostasis. This review is about how pulmonary sepsis affects the body. What is the aftermath of sepsis, and how mitophagy affects Acute Lung Injury and macrophage polarisation to overcome the damages.

Abstract
The mitochondrial network plays a critical role in the regulation of innate immune signaling and subsequent production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IFN-β and IL-1β. Dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) promotes mitochondrial fission and quality control to maintain cellular homeostasis during infection. However, mechanisms by which DRP1 and mitochondrial dynamics control innate immune signaling and the proinflammatory response are incompletely understood. Here we show that macrophage DRP1 is a positive regulator of TNF-α production during sterile inflammation or bacterial infection. Silencing macrophage DRP1 decreased mitochondrial fragmentation and TNF-α production upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection. The defect in TNF-α induction could not be attributed to changes in gene expression. Instead, DRP1 was required for post-transcriptional control of TNF-α. In contrast, silencing DRP1 enhanced IL-6 and IL-1β production, indicating a distinct mechanism for DRP1-dependent TNF-α regulation. Our results highlight DRP1 as a key player in the macrophage pro-inflammatory response and point to its involvement in post-transcriptional control of TNF-α production.

Abstract
Background Acute liver failure (ALF) is associated with a high mortality rate, and there are still no effective treatments except liver transplantation and artificial liver therapies. This study aimed to determine the effects, therapeutic window and mechanisms of selonsertib, a selective inhibitor of ASK1, for ALF therapy. Results Lipopolysaccharide and d-galactosamine (LPS/GalN) were used to simulate ALF. We found that selonsertib pretreatment significantly ameliorated ALF, as determined by reduced hepatic necrosis and serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and inflammatory cytokine levels. However, selonsertib is only effective early after LPS/GalN administration, and the limited therapeutic window is related to the activation and mitochondrial translocation of JNK and DRP1. Further experiments revealed that selonsertib could alleviate LPS-induced mitochondrial damage in macrophages by evaluating the mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening in macrophages. Selonsertib also suppressed the release of inflammatory cytokines from macrophages by reducing DRP1-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction, which was confirmed by using mdivi, a specific DRP1 inhibitor. Conclusions Selonsertib protected against LPS/GalN-induced ALF by attenuating JNK-mediated DRP1 mitochondrial translocation and then rescuing mitochondrial damage in macrophages and may have therapeutic potential for early ALF patients.

Abstract
Background To this day, the molecular mechanism of endotoxin-induced multi-organ failure has not been completely clarified. This study aimed to construct an miRNA-mRNA regulatory network and identify main pathways and key genes in multi-organ of LPS-mediated endotoxemic mice. Methods Public datasets from six mRNA and three miRNA microarray datasets were downloaded from the GEO website to screen final differentially expressed genes (FDEGs) and hub genes in the heart, lung, liver, and kidney of LPS-mediated endotoxemic mice. Functional and pathway enrichment analysis of FDEGs was used to identify the main pathways in multi-organ damage of LPS-treated mice. Finally, hub genes of each organ were intersected to obtain the key genes of multi-organ. Results Firstly, 158, 358, 299, and 91 FDEGs were identified in the heart, lung, liver, and kidney, respectively. The pathway enrichment analysis of the FDEGs then showed that the TNF signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, and some viral-infection-related pathways (influenza A, measles, and herpes simplex) were the main pathways in multi-organ damage of LPS-mediated endotoxemic mice. Moreover, miRNA-mRNA or PPI regulatory networks were constructed based on FDEGs. According to these networks, 31, 34, 34, and 31 hub genes were identified in the heart, lung, liver, and kidney, respectively. Among them, nine key genes (Cd274, Cxcl1, Cxcl9, Icam1, Ifit2, Isg15, Stat1, Tlr2, and Usp18) were enriched in Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and chemokine signaling pathway. Finally, seven potential drugs were predicted based on these key genes. Conclusion The shared underlying molecular pathways in endotoxin-induced multi-organ damage that have been identified include Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and TNF signaling pathway. Besides, nine key genes (Cd274, Cxcl1, Cxcl9, Icam1, Ifit2, Isg15, Stat1, Tlr2, and Usp18) and seven potential drugs were identified. Our data provide a new sight and potential target for future therapy in endotoxemia-induced multi-organ failure.

Abstract
Mitochondrial fragmentation occurs during the apoptosis. Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) acts as an important component in mitochondrial fission machinery and can regulate various biological processes including apoptosis, cell cycle, and proliferation. The present study demonstrates that dysfunction of mitochondrial dynamics plays a pivotal role in cisplatin-induced apoptosis. Inhibiting the mitochondrial fission with the specific inhibitor (Mdivi-1) did not affect apoptotic cell death in low concentrations (<10 μM). Interestingly, mdivi-1 enhanced cisplatin-induced apoptosis in cancer cells, but not in normal cells. Particularly in the presence of mdivi-1, several human cancer cell lines, including renal carcinoma cell line Caki-1, became vulnerable to cisplatin by demonstrating the traits of caspase 3-dependent apoptosis. Combined treatment induced downregulation of c-FLIP expression transcriptionally, and ectopic expression of c-FLIP attenuated combined treatment-induced apoptotic cell death with mdivi-1 plus cisplatin. Collectively, our data provide evidence that mdivi-1 might be a cisplatin sensitizer.

Abstract
Occupational exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) can cause cytotoxicity and carcinogenicity. In this study, we established a liver injury model in rats via intraperitoneal injection of potassium dichromate (0, 2, 4, and 6 mg/kg body weight) for 35 d to investigate the mechanism of Cr(VI)-induced liver injury. We found that Cr(VI) induced hepatic histopathological lesions, oxidative stress, and apoptosis and reduced the expression of mitochondrial-related regulatory factors such as adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, Cr(VI) promoted mitochondrial division and inhibited fusion, leading to increased expression of caspase-3 and production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. Our study demonstrates that long-term exposure to Cr(VI) induces mitochondrial dynamics disorder by inhibiting AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway in rat liver.

Mdivi-1 attenuates oxidative stress and exerts vascular protection in ischemic/hypoxic injury by a mechanism independent of Drp1 GTPase activity. Redox Biol 2020; 37:101706. [PMID: 32911435 PMCID: PMC7490562 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2020.101706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Revised: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Vascular dysfunctions such as vascular hyporeactivity following ischemic/hypoxic injury are a major cause of death in injured patients. In this study, we showed that treatment with mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1), a selective inhibitor of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), significantly improved vascular reactivity in ischemic rats by attenuating oxidative stress. The antioxidative effects of Mdivi-1 were relatively Drp1-independent, and possibly due to an increase in the levels of the antioxidant enzymes, SOD1 and catalase, as well as to enhanced Nrf2 expression. In addition, we found that while Mdivi-1 had little effect on Drp1 GTPase activity in vascular smooth muscle cells, it inhibited hypoxia-induced Drp1 phosphorylation at Ser-616, reducing excessive mitochondrial fission and slightly enhancing mitochondrial fusion. These effects possibly contributed to vascular protection at an early stage of ischemic/hypoxic injury. Finally, Mdivi-1 stabilized hemodynamics, increased vital organ perfusion, and improved rat survival after ischemic/hypoxic injury, proving a promising therapeutic agent for ischemic/hypoxic injury. Mdivi-1 improved vascular contractility in ischemic rats. Mdivi-1 attenuated hypoxia-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial changes. Drp1 recruitment to mitochondria, not GTPase activity, involved in Mdivi-1 effects. Mdivi-1 has therapeutic potential against ischemic injury.

Abstract
Investigate the effect of flufenamic acid (FFA) on lung injury of sepsis rats. Rat sepsis model was established using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The pathomorphology of lung tissue was detected by Hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. The expression levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and high mobility group box-1 (HMGB-1) in serum and TNF-α, IL-6, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in lung tissues. The viability of RLE-6TN cells was detected by CCK-8 assay. The expression of carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) in RLE-6TN cells was analyzed by Western blot analysis and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis. The inflammatory response was obviously enhanced in CLP-constructed sepsis rats and alleviated by FFA treatment. Sepsis induced the increase of W/D ratio, promoted the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, HMGBR1, and MDA and inhibited the levels of SOD and GSH. FFA could effectively alleviate the sepsis-induced lung injury. The viability of RLE-6TN cells induced by LPS was improved with the treatment of FFA. CBR1 expression in LPS-induced RLE-6TN cells was decreased and FFA could up-regulate the CBR1 expression. In addition, LPS-induced lung injury promoted the inflammatory response in lung tissues, increased the W/D ratio and levels of TNF-α, IL-6, HMGBR1, and MDA while inhibited the levels of SOD and GSH. FFA could effectively improve the LPS-induced lung injury while the effect of FFA on LPS-induced lung injury was alleviated by CBR1 interference. FFA may alleviate sepsis-induced lung injury by up-regulating CBR1.
