Abstract
Cisplatin is widely employed in clinical oncology as an anticancer chemotherapy drug in clinical practice and is known for its severe ototoxic side effects. Prior research indicates that the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a pivotal role in cisplatin's inner ear toxicity. Hesperidin is a flavanone glycoside extracted from citrus fruits that has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Nonetheless, the specific pharmacological actions of hesperidin in alleviating cisplatin-induced ototoxicity remain elusive. The transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a critical mediator of the cellular oxidative stress response, is influenced by hesperidin. Activation of Nrf2 was shown to have a protective effect against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. The potential of hesperidin to stimulate Nrf2 in attenuating cisplatin's adverse effects on the inner ear warrants further investigation. This study employs both in vivo and in vitro models of cisplatin ototoxicity to explore this possibility. Our results reveal that hesperidin mitigates cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by activating the Nrf2/NQO1 pathway in sensory hair cells, thereby reducing ROS accumulation, preventing hair cell apoptosis, and alleviating hearing loss.

Abstract
The use of antioxidants could thus prove an effective medication to prevent or facilitate recovery from oxidative stress-induced sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). One promising strategy to prevent SNHL is developing probucol (PB)-based nanoparticles using encapsulation technology and administering them to the inner ear via the established intratympanic route. The preclinical, clinical and epidemiological studies support that PB is a proven antioxidant that could effectively prevent oxidative stress in different study models. Such findings suggest its applicability in preventing oxidative stress within the inner ear and its associated neural cells. However, several hurdles, such as overcoming the blood-labyrinth barrier, ensuring sustained release, minimising systemic side effects and optimising targeted delivery in the intricate inner ear structures, must be overcome to efficiently deliver PB to the inner ear. This review explores the background and pathogenesis of hearing loss, the potential of PB in treating oxidative stress and its cellular mechanisms, and the obstacles linked to inner ear drug delivery for effectively introducing PB to the inner ear.

Abstract
Hair cells in the cochlear sensory epithelia serve as mechanosensory receptors, converting sound into neuronal signals. The basal sensory epithelia are responsible for transducing high-frequency sounds, while the apex handles low-frequency sounds. Age-related hearing loss predominantly affects hearing at high frequencies and is indicative of damage to the basal sensory epithelia. However, the precise mechanism underlying this site-selective injury remains unclear. In this study, we employed a microscale proteomics approach to examine and compare protein expression in different regions of the cochlear sensory epithelia (upper half and lower half) in 1.5-month-old (normal hearing) and 6-month-old (severe high-frequency hearing loss without hair cell loss) C57BL/6J mice. A total of 2,386 proteins were detected, and no significant differences in protein expression were detected in the upper half of the cochlear sensory epithelia between the two age groups. The expression of 20 proteins in the lower half of the cochlear sensory epithelia significantly differed between the two age groups (e.g., MATN1, MATN4, and AQP1). Moreover, there were 311 and 226 differentially expressed proteins between the upper and lower halves of the cochlear sensory epithelia in 1.5-month-old and 6-month-old mice, respectively. The expression levels of selected proteins were validated by Western blotting. These findings suggest that the spatial differences in protein expression within the cochlear sensory epithelia may play a role in determining the susceptibility of cells at different sites of the cochlea to age-related damage.

Abstract
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a widely used plasticizer that can interfere with the endocrine system and cause liver damage. However, the molecular mechanism of DEHP-induced liver injury is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of DEHP on liver function and its relationship with thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) and mitochondrial oxidative stress pathway. We used C57BL/6 J mice and THLE-2 liver cells as in vivo and in vitro models, respectively, and treated them with different doses of DEHP, and measured the relevant biochemical indicators and molecular markers. We found that DEHP significantly increased the expression of TXNIP and NLRP3, while decreasing the expression of mitochondrial functional proteins, such as PGC-1α, TFAM, NRF1, NDUHA9, SDHA, MFN1. This resulted in mitochondrial dysfunction, manifested by reduced ATP generation, increased inflammatory factor release, elevated liver enzyme indicators, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and increased oxidative stress. We further demonstrated that TXNIP upregulation activated NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, IκB, TAB2, TRAF6, ERK1, JNK, p38 MAPK, MEK1, which exacerbated oxidative stress and inflammation, leading to liver damage. Additionally, we found that treatment with the antioxidant MitoQ partially alleviated DEHP-induced liver toxicity, while silencing TXNIP more effectively restored mitochondrial function. Our study supports the hypothesis that DEHP induces mitochondrial oxidative stress through the TXNIP signaling pathway, resulting in liver dysfunction in mice, and suggests possible links between endocrine-disrupting chemicals and human diseases.

Abstract
Evidence suggests that damage to the ribbon synapses (RS) may be the main cause of auditory dysfunction in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathophysiology of synaptic damage. However, the relationship between oxidative stress and RS damage in NIHL remains unclear. To investigate the hypothesis that noise-induced oxidative stress is a key factor in synaptic damage within the inner ear, we conducted a study using mice subjected to single or repeated noise exposure (NE). We assessed auditory function using auditory brainstem response (ABR) test and examined cochlear morphology by immunofluorescence staining. The results showed that mice that experienced a single NE exhibited a threshold shift and recovered within two weeks. The ABR wave I latencies were prolonged, and the amplitudes decreased, suggesting RS dysfunction. These changes were also demonstrated by the loss of RS as evidenced by immunofluorescence staining. However, we observed threshold shifts that did not return to baseline levels following secondary NE. Additionally, ABR wave I latencies and amplitudes exhibited notable changes. Immunofluorescence staining indicated not only severe damage to RS but also loss of outer hair cells. We also noted decreased T-AOC, ATP, and mitochondrial membrane potential levels, alongside increased hydrogen peroxide concentrations post-NE. Furthermore, the expression levels of 4-HNE and 8-OHdG in the cochlea were notably elevated. Collectively, our findings suggest that the production of reactive oxygen species leads to oxidative damage in the cochlea. This mitochondrial dysfunction consequently contributes to the loss of RS, precipitating an early onset of NIHL.

Mitochondria-targeted SkQ1 nanoparticles for dry eye disease: Inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation by preventing mitochondrial DNA oxidation. J Control Release 2024; 365:1-15.

Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial ocular surface disorder mutually promoted by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ocular surface inflammation. NLRP3 is the key regulator for inducing ocular surface inflammation in DED. However, the mechanism by which ROS influences the bio-effects of NLRP3, and the consequent development of DED, largely remains elusive. In the present study, we uncovered that robust ROS can oxidate mitochondrial DNA (ox-mtDNA) along with loss of mitochondria compaction causing the cytosolic release of ox-mtDNA and subsequent co-localization with cytosolic NLRP3, which can promote the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and stimulate NLRP3-mediated inflammation. Visomitin (also known as SkQ1), a mitochondria-targeted anti-oxidant, could reverse such a process by in situ scavenging of mitochondrial ROS. To effectively deliver SkQ1, we further developed a novel mitochondria-targeted SkQ1 nanoparticle (SkQ1 NP) using a charge-driven self-assembly strategy. Compared with free SkQ1, SkQ1 NPs exhibited significantly higher cytosolic- and mitochondrial-ROS scavenging activity (1.7 and 1.9 times compared to levels of the free SkQ1 group), thus exerting a better in vitro protective effect against H2O2-induced cell death in human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs). After topical administration, SkQ1 NPs significantly reduced in vivo mtDNA oxidation, while suppressing the expressions of NLRP3, Caspase-1, and IL-1β, which consequently resulted in better therapeutic effects against DED. Results suggested that by efficiently scavenging mitochondrial ROS, SkQ1 NPs could in situ inhibit DED-induced mtDNA oxidation, thus blocking the interaction of ox-mtDNA and NLRP3; this, in turn, suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation and NLRP3-mediated inflammatory signaling. Results suggested that SkQ1 NPs have great potential as a new treatment for DED.

Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) can either be genetically inherited or acquired as a result of aging, noise exposure, or ototoxic drugs. Although the precise pathophysiological mechanisms underlying SNHL remain unclear, an overwhelming body of evidence implicates mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress playing a central etiological role. With its high metabolic demands, the cochlea, particularly the sensory hair cells, stria vascularis, and spiral ganglion neurons, is vulnerable to the damaging effects of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). Mitochondrial dysfunction and consequent oxidative stress in cochlear cells can be caused by inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations (hereditary hearing loss and aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity), accumulation of acquired mtDNA mutations with age (age-related hearing loss), mitochondrial overdrive and calcium dysregulation (noise-induced hearing loss and cisplatin-induced ototoxicity), or accumulation of ototoxic drugs within hair cell mitochondria (drug-induced hearing loss). In this review, we provide an overview of our current knowledge on the role of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in the development of SNHL caused by genetic mutations, aging, exposure to excessive noise, and ototoxic drugs. We also explore the advancements in antioxidant therapies for the different forms of acquired SNHL that are being evaluated in preclinical and clinical studies.

Abstract
Noise (noise-induced hearing loss), and ototoxic drugs (drug-induced ototoxicity), and aging (age-related hearing loss) are the major environmental factors that lead to acquired sensorineural hearing loss. So far, there have been numerous efforts to develop protective or therapeutic agents for acquired hearing loss by investigating the pathological mechanisms of each types of hearing loss, especially in cochlear hair cells and auditory nerves. Although there is still a lack of information on the underlying mechanisms of redox homeostasis and molecular redox networks in hair cells, an imbalance in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels that enhance oxidative stress has been suggested as a key pathological factor eventually causing acquired sensorineural hearing loss. Thus, various types of antioxidants have been investigated for their abilities to support auditory cells in maintenance of the hearing function against ototoxic stimuli. In this review, we will discuss the scientific possibility of developing drugs that target particular key elements of the mitochondrial redox network in prevention or treatment of noise- and ototoxic drug-induced hearing loss.

Abstract
Hearing loss is the third most prevalent chronic health condition affecting older adults. Age-related hearing loss affects one in three adults over 65 years of age and is caused by both extrinsic and intrinsic factors, including genetics, aging, and exposure to noise and toxins. All cells possess antioxidant defense systems that play an important role in protecting cells against these factors. Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) serves as a co-factor for antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione reductase and thioredoxin reductase and is produced by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) or malic enzyme 1 in the cytosol, while in the mitochondria, NADPH is generated from mitochondrial transhydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, malic enzyme 3 or IDH2. There are three isoforms of IDH: cytosolic IDH1, and mitochondrial IDH2 and IDH3. Of these, IDH2 is thought to be the major supplier of NADPH to the mitochondrial antioxidant defense system. The NADP+/NADPH and NAD+/NADH couples are essential for maintaining a large array of biological processes, including cellular redox state, and energy metabolism, mitochondrial function. A growing body of evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to age-related structural or functional changes of cochlear sensory hair cells and neurons, leading to hearing impairments. In this review, we describe the current understanding of the roles of NADPH and IDHs in cochlear mitochondrial antioxidant defense and aging.

Abstract
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the most prevalent sensory disorder in the elderly. Currently, no treatment can effectively prevent or reverse ARHL. Aging auditory organs are often accompanied by exacerbated oxidative stress and metabolic deterioration. Here, we report the effect of deuterated oxygen (D2O), also known as "heavy water", mouse models of ARHL. Supplementing the normal mouse diet with 10% D2O from 4 to 9 weeks of age lowered hearing thresholds at selected frequencies in treated mice compared to untreated control group. Oxidative stress levels were significantly reduced and in the cochlear duct of treated vs. untreated mice. Through metabolic flux analysis, we found that D2O mainly slowed down catabolic reactions, and may delay metabolic deterioration related to aging to a certain extent. Experiments confirmed that the Nrf2/HO-1/glutathione axis was down-regulated in treated mice. Thus, D2O supplementation can hinder ARHL progression in mouse models by slowing the pace of metabolism and reducing endogenous oxidative stress production in the cochlea. These findings open new avenues for protecting the cochlea from oxidative stress and regulating metabolism to prevent ARHL.

[PMID: 36266633 PMCID: PMC9583487 DOI: 10.1186/s10020-022-00552-y] [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: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), activated by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vivo, has the dual effect of reducing ROS to protect against oxidative stress and reducing ATP production to regulate cellular metabolism. Both the UCP2 and ROS are increased in cochleae in age-related hearing loss (ARHL). However, the role of UCP2 in sensory hair cells in ARHL remains unclear. Methods Male C57BL/6 J mice were randomly assigned to an 8-week-old group (Group 1), a 16-week-old group (Group 2), a 16-week-old + adeno-associated virus-inner ear (AAV-ie) group (Group 3), and a 16-week-old + AAV-ie-UCP2 group (Group 4). Mice aged 8 weeks were administrated with AAV-ie-GFP or AAV-ie-UCP2 via posterior semicircular canal injection. Eight weeks after this viral intervention, hearing thresholds and wave-I amplitudes were tested by auditory brainstem response (ABR). Subsequently, the cochlear basilar membrane was dissected for investigation. The number of hair cells and inner hair cell (IHC) synapses, the level of ROS, and the expression of AMP-activated protein kinase α (AMPKα), were assessed by immunofluorescence staining. In addition, mitochondrial function was determined, and the expression of AMPKα and UCP2 proteins was further evaluated using western blotting. Results Mice with early-onset ARHL exhibited enhanced oxidative stress and loss of outer hair cells and IHC synapses, while UCP2 overexpression aggravated hearing loss and cochlear pathophysiological changes in mice. UCP2 overexpression resulted in a notable decrease in the number of IHCs and IHC synapses, caused ATP depletion and excessive ROS generation, increased AMPKα protein levels, and promoted IHC apoptosis, especially in the apical and middle turns of the cochlea. Conclusion Collectively, our data suggest that UCP2 overexpression may cause mitochondrial dysfunction via energy metabolism, which activates mitochondrion-dependent cellular apoptosis and leads to IHC loss, ultimately exacerbating ARHL.

Abstract
With the increase in life expectancy in the global population, aging societies have emerged in many countries, including China. As a common sensory defect in the elderly population, the prevalence of age-related hearing loss and its influence on society are increasing yearly. Metabolic syndrome is currently one of the main health problems in the world. Many studies have demonstrated that metabolic syndrome and its components are correlated with a variety of age-related diseases of the peripheral sensory system, including age-related hearing loss. Both age-related hearing loss and metabolic syndrome are high-prevalence chronic diseases, and many people suffer from both at the same time. In recent years, more and more studies have found that mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in both metabolic syndrome and age-related hearing loss. Therefore, to better understand the impact of metabolic syndrome on age-related hearing loss from the perspective of mitochondrial dysfunction, we reviewed the literature related to the relationship between age-related hearing loss and metabolic syndrome and their components to discern the possible role of mitochondria in both conditions.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is considered a driving event in the damage to inner hair cell (IHC) synapses. Mitochondrial deacetylase Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is an important regulator of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, the effect of SIRT3 on IHC synapses remains elusive. In this study, we treated cochlear basilar membrane (CBM) with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to establish an oxidative stress model in vitro. The H2O2-induced CBM exhibited decreased the number of IHC synapses with low levels of ATP and mitochondrial membrane potential. Additionally, H2O2-incuded CBM showed markedly reduced levels of forkhead box protein O 3a (FOXO3a), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), and isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2), thereby increasing ROS generation. SIRT3 overexpression via administrating nicotinamide riboside in the H2O2-induced CBM protected IHC synapses against oxidative stress and inhibited hair cell apoptosis. We further demonstrated that SIRT3 overexpression led to upregulation of IDH2, and hypoacetylation of several proteins, such as FOXO3a and SOD2, which in turn reduced the levels of ROS and improved mitochondrial function. Collectively, these findings reveal that SIRT3 may be a potential therapeutic approach for damaged IHC synapses induced by oxidative stress.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is critically involved in the regulation of a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes. However, the role of NO in the pathogenesis of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is complex and remains controversial. Here we reported that treatment of CBA/J mice with l-arginine, a physiological precursor of NO, significantly reduced noise-induced reactive oxygen species accumulation in outer hair cells (OHCs), attenuated noise-induced loss of OHCs and NIHL consequently. Conversely, pharmacological inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthase exacerbated noise-induced loss of OHCs and aggravated NIHL. In HEI-OC1 cells, NO also showed substantial protection against H2O2-induced oxidative stress and cytotoxicity. Mechanistically, NO increased S-nitrosylation of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and inhibited its activity, which thus diverted glucose metabolic flux from glycolysis into the pentose phosphate pathway to increase production of reducing equivalents (NADPH and GSH) and eventually prevented H2O2-induced oxidative damage. These findings open new avenues for protection of cochlear hair cells from oxidative stress and prevention of NIHL through NO modulation of PKM2 and glucose metabolism reprogramming.

Abstract
Mutations in a number of genes encoding mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases lead to non-syndromic and/or syndromic sensorineural hearing loss in humans, while their cellular and physiological pathology in cochlea has rarely been investigated in vivo. In this study, we showed that histidyl-tRNA synthetase HARS2, whose deficiency is associated with Perrault syndrome 2 (PRLTS2), is robustly expressed in postnatal mouse cochlea including the outer and inner hair cells. Targeted knockout of Hars2 in mouse hair cells resulted in delayed onset (P30), rapidly progressive hearing loss similar to the PRLTS2 hearing phenotype. Significant hair cell loss was observed starting from P45 following elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and activated mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Despite of normal ribbon synapse formation, whole-cell patch clamp of the inner hair cells revealed reduced calcium influx and compromised sustained synaptic exocytosis prior to the hair cell loss at P30, consistent with the decreased supra-threshold wave I amplitudes of the auditory brainstem response. Starting from P14, increasing proportion of morphologically abnormal mitochondria was observed by transmission electron microscope, exhibiting swelling, deformation, loss of cristae and emergence of large intrinsic vacuoles that are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Though the mitochondrial abnormalities are more prominent in inner hair cells, it is the outer hair cells suffering more severe cell loss. Taken together, our results suggest that conditional knockout of Hars2 in mouse cochlear hair cells leads to accumulating mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS stress, triggers progressive hearing loss highlighted by hair cell synaptopathy and apoptosis, and is differentially perceived by inner and outer hair cells.

Abstract
Objective The beneficial effects of glycine were tested in piglets with diquat-induced hepatic injury. Methods Thirty-two piglets were assigned by a 2 × 2 factorial experimental design including glycine supplementation and diquat challenge. After 3 weeks of feeding with a basic diet or a 1% glycine supplemented diet, piglets were challenged with diquat or saline. After 1 week later, the piglets were slaughtered and samples were collected. Results Our results indicated that glycine alleviated diquat induced morphological hepatic injury, decreased the activities of plasma alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and glutamyl transpeptidase in the piglets under diquat challenge, and increased total antioxidant capacity and antioxidative enzyme activity significantly. Adding glycine enhanced the concentrations of hepatic adenosine triphosphate and adenosine diphosphate. Transmission electron microscope observation showed that diquat induced clear hepatocytes ferroptosis and its effect could be alleviated by glycine to a certain degree. Moreover, glycine significantly affected mRNA and protein expression of ferroptosis-related signals in the liver. Conclusion These results demonstrated that glycine attenuated liver damage via inhibiting ferroptosis.

Mechanism and Protection of Radiotherapy Induced Sensorineural Hearing Loss for Head and Neck Cancer. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2021:3548706. [PMID: 34970625 PMCID: PMC8714384 DOI: 10.1155/2021/3548706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 12/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Purpose Radiotherapy-induced sensorineural hearing loss (RISNHL) is a common adverse effect in patients with head and neck cancer. Given that there are few studies on the pathogenesis of RISNHL at present, we summarized the possible pathogenesis of RISNHL and possible protective measures found at present by referring to relevant literatures. Methods We performed a comprehensive literature search in the PubMed database, using keywords “sensorineural hearing loss,” “radiotherapy,” and “cancer,” among others. The literature was examined for the possible mechanism and preventive measures of sensorineural hearing loss induced by radiotherapy. Results We found that the incidence of RISNHL was closely related to the damage directly caused by ionizing radiation and the radiation-induced bystander effect. It also depends on the dose of radiation and the timing of chemotherapy. Studies confirmed that RISNHL is mainly involved in post-RT inflammatory response and changes in reactive oxygen species, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and p53 signaling pathways, leading to specific manners of cell death. We expect to reduce the incidence of hearing loss through advanced radiotherapy techniques, dose limitation of organs at risk, application of cell signaling inhibitors, use of antioxidants, induction of cochlear hair cell regeneration, and cochlear implantation. Conclusion RISNHL is associated with radiation damage to DNA, oxidative stress, and inflammation of cochlear cells, stria vascularis endothelial cells, vascular endothelial cells, spiral ganglion neurons, and other supporting cells. At present, the occurrence mechanism of RISNHL has not been clearly illustrated, and further studies are needed to better understand the underlying mechanism, which is crucial to promote the formulation of better strategies and prevent the occurrence of RISNHL.

[PMID: 34603599 PMCID: PMC8486530 DOI: 10.1155/2021/5876841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Myocardial fibrosis represents the primary pathological change associated with diabetic cardiomyopathy and heart failure, and it leads to decreased myocardial compliance with impaired cardiac diastolic and systolic function. Quercetin, an active ingredient in various medicinal plants, exerts therapeutic effects against cardiovascular diseases. Here, we investigate whether SIRT5- and IDH2-related desuccinylation is involved in the underlying mechanism of myocardial fibrosis in heart failure while exploring related therapeutic drugs for mitochondrial quality surveillance. Mouse models of myocardial fibrosis and heart failure, established by transverse aortic constriction (TAC), were administered with quercetin (50 mg/kg) daily for 4 weeks. HL-1 cells were pretreated with quercetin and treated with high glucose (30 mM) in vitro. Cardiac function, western blotting, quantitative PCR, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and immunofluorescence analysis were employed to analyze mitochondrial quality surveillance, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response in myocardial cells, whereas IDH2 succinylation levels were detected using immunoprecipitation. Myocardial fibrosis and heart failure incidence increased after TAC, with abnormal cardiac ejection function. Following high-glucose treatment, HL-1 cell activity was inhibited, causing excess production of reactive oxygen species and inhibition of mitochondrial respiratory complex I/III activity and mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme activity, as well as increased oxidative stress and inflammatory response, imbalanced mitochondrial quality surveillance and homeostasis, and increased apoptosis. Quercetin inhibited myocardial fibrosis and improved cardiac function by increasing mitochondrial energy metabolism and regulating mitochondrial fusion/fission and mitochondrial biosynthesis while inhibiting the inflammatory response and oxidative stress injury. Additionally, TAC inhibited SIRT5 expression at the mitochondrial level and increased IDH2 succinylation. However, quercetin promoted the desuccinylation of IDH2 by increasing SIRT5 expression. Moreover, treatment with si-SIRT5 abolished the protective effect of quercetin on cell viability. Hence, quercetin may promote the desuccinylation of IDH2 through SIRT5, maintain mitochondrial homeostasis, protect mouse cardiomyocytes under inflammatory conditions, and improve myocardial fibrosis, thereby reducing the incidence of heart failure.

Abstract
Purpose The Slc4a11 knock out (KO) mouse model recapitulates the human disease phenotype associated with congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED). Increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the Slc4a11 KO mouse model is a major cause of edema and endothelial cell loss. Here, we asked if autophagy was activated by ROS in the KO mice. Methods Immortalized cell lines and mouse corneal endothelia were used to measure autophagy and lysosome associated protein expressions using Protein Simple Wes immunoassay. Autophagy and lysosome functions were examined in wild type (WT) and KO cells as well as animals treated with the mitochondrial ROS quencher MitoQ. Results Even though autophagy activation was evident, autophagy flux was aberrant in Slc4a11 KO cells and corneal endothelium. Expression of lysosomal proteins and lysosomal mass were decreased along with reduced nuclear translocation of lysosomal master regulator, transcription factor EB (TFEB). MitoQ reversed aberrant lysosomal functions and TFEB nuclear localization in KO cells. MitoQ injections in KO animals reduced corneal edema and decreased the rate of endothelial cell loss. Conclusions Mitochondrial ROS disrupts TFEB signaling causing lysosomal dysfunction with impairment of autophagy in Slc4a11 KO corneal endothelium. Our study is the first to identify the presence as well as cause of lysosomal dysfunction in an animal model of CHED, and to identify a potential therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is the key determinant in the pathogenesis of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Given that cellular defense against oxidative stress is an energy-consuming process, the aim of the present study was to investigate whether increasing energy availability by glucose supplementation protects cochlear hair cells against oxidative stress and attenuates NIHL. Our results revealed that glucose supplementation reduced the noise-induced formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and consequently attenuated noise-induced loss of outer hair cells, inner hair cell synaptic ribbons, and NIHL in CBA/J mice. In cochlear explants, glucose supplementation increased the levels of ATP and NADPH, as well as attenuating H2O2-induced ROS production and cytotoxicity. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of glucose transporter type 1 activity abolished the protective effects of glucose against oxidative stress in HEI-OC1 cells. These findings suggest that energy availability is crucial for oxidative stress resistance and glucose supplementation offers a simple and effective approach for the protection of cochlear hair cells against oxidative stress and NIHL.

Abstract
Mitochondria are double-membraned cellular organelles that provide the required energy and metabolic intermediates to cardiomyocytes. Mitochondrial respiratory chain defects, structure abnormalities, and DNA mutations can affect the normal function of cardiomyocytes, causing an imbalance in intracellular calcium ion homeostasis, production of reactive oxygen species, and apoptosis. Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is an important process that maintains mitochondrial homeostasis in cardiomyocytes and involves multi-level regulatory mechanisms, such as mitophagy, mitochondrial fission and fusion, mitochondrial energy metabolism, mitochondrial antioxidant system, and mitochondrial respiratory chain. Furthermore, MQC plays a role in the pathological mechanisms of various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In recent years, the regulatory effects of natural plants, drugs, and active ingredients on MQC in the context of CVDs have received significant attention. Effective active ingredients in natural drugs can influence the production of energy-supplying substances in the mitochondria, interfere with the expression of genes associated with mitochondrial energy requirements, and regulate various mechanisms of MQC modulation. Thus, these ingredients have therapeutic effects against CVDs. This review provides useful information about novel treatment options for CVDs and development of novel drugs targeting MQC.

Abstract
Age-related hearing loss (AHL) is a progressive sensorineural hearing loss in elderly people. Although no prevention or treatments have been established for AHL, recent studies have demonstrated that oxidative stress is closely related to pathogenesis of AHL, suggesting that suppression of oxidative stress leads to inhibition of AHL progression. NRF2 is a master transcription factor that regulates various antioxidant proteins and cytoprotection factors. To examine whether NRF2 pathway activation prevents AHL, we used Keap1-knockdown (Keap1FA/FA) mice, in which KEAP1, a negative regulator of NRF2, is decreased, resulting in the elevation of NRF2 activity. We compared 12-month-old Keap1FA/FA mice with age-matched wild-type (WT) mice in the same breeding colony. In the Keap1FA/FA mice, the expression levels of multiple NRF2 target genes were verified to be significantly higher than the expression levels of these genes in the WT mice. Histological analysis showed that cochlear degeneration at the apical and middle turns was ameliorated in the Keap1FA/FA mice. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds in the Keap1FA/FA mice were significantly lower than those in the WT mice, in particular at low-mid frequencies. Immunohistochemical detection of oxidative stress markers suggested that oxidative stress accumulation was attenuated in the Keap1FA/FA cochlea. Thus, we concluded that NRF2 pathway activation protects the cochlea from oxidative damage during aging, in particular at the apical and middle turns. KEAP1-inhibiting drugs and phytochemicals are expected to be effective in the prevention of AHL.

Abstract
Hearing loss ranks fourth among the principal causes of disability worldwide, and manipulation of progenitor cells may be a key strategy for hair cell regeneration. The present study investigated the role and mechanism of miR‑125 on the proliferation of cochlear progenitor cells (CPCs). CPCs were isolated from the cochleae of neonatal rats, and their morphology was observed. Furthermore, the differentiation ability of CPCs was determined by assessing the expression of 5‑bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), nestin and myosin VII by immunofluorescence. The expression levels of miR‑125 and cyclin‑dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) as well as the cell proliferation of CPCs were assessed. In addition, following gain‑ and loss‑of‑function assays, the cell cycle was examined by flow cytometry, and the expression levels of miR‑125, CDK2, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and nestin were determined by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blotting. The binding sites between miR‑125 and CDK2 were predicted by TargetScan and identified by the dual luciferase reporter assay. The results demonstrated that different types of progenitor spheres were observed from CPCs with positive expression of BrdU, nestin and myosin VII. Following in vitro incubation for 2, 4 and 7 days, the spheres were enlarged, and CPC proliferation gradually increased and reached a plateau after further incubation for 3 days. Furthermore, the expression levels of nestin and PCNA in CPCs increased and then decreased during in vitro incubation for 2, 4 and 7 days. Following this incubation, the expression levels of miR‑125 in CPCs decreased; thereafter, its expression increased, and the expression pattern was different from that of CDK2. In addition, miR‑125 overexpression in CPCs decreased the expression of CDK2 and the number of cells in the S phase. Different expression patterns were found in CPCs in response to the miR‑125 knockdown. In addition, miR‑125 directly targeted CDK2. Simultaneous knockdown of miR‑125 and CDK2 enhanced CPC proliferation compared with CDK2 knockdown alone. Taken together, the findings from the present study suggested that miR‑125 may inhibit CPC proliferation by downregulating CDK2. The present study may provide a novel therapeutic direction for treatment of hearing loss.

Abstract
Total glucosides of peony (TGP) are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. We explored the protective effects of TGP on cardiomyocyte oxidative stress and inflammation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide by focusing on mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergetics. Our study demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide significantly repressed cardiomyocyte viability and promoted cell apoptosis through induction of the mitochondrial death pathway. TGP treatment sustained cardiomyocyte viability, reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and decreased inflammation and oxidative stress. Molecular investigation indicated that hydrogen peroxide caused mitochondrial dynamics disruption and bioenergetics reduction in cardiomyocytes, but this alteration could be normalized by TGP. We found that disruption of mitochondrial dynamics abolished the regulatory effects of TGP on mitochondrial bioenergetics; TGP modulated mitochondrial dynamics through the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway; and inhibition of AMPK alleviated the protective effects of TGP on mitochondria. Our results showed that TGP treatment reduces cardiomyocyte oxidative stress and inflammation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide by correcting mitochondrial dynamics and enhancing mitochondrial bioenergetics. Additionally, the regulatory effects of TGP on mitochondrial function seem to be mediated through the AMPK pathway. These findings are promising for myocardial injury in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Abstract
Elevated mitochondrial matrix superoxide and/or hydrogen peroxide concentrations drive a wide range of physiological responses and pathologies. Concentrations of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide in the mitochondrial matrix are set mainly by rates of production, the activities of superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD2) and peroxiredoxin-3 (PRDX3), and by diffusion of hydrogen peroxide to the cytosol. These considerations can be used to generate criteria for assessing whether changes in matrix superoxide or hydrogen peroxide are both necessary and sufficient to drive redox signaling and pathology: is a phenotype affected by suppressing superoxide and hydrogen peroxide production; by manipulating the levels of SOD2, PRDX3 or mitochondria-targeted catalase; and by adding mitochondria-targeted SOD/catalase mimetics or mitochondria-targeted antioxidants? Is the pathology associated with variants in SOD2 and PRDX3 genes? Filtering the large literature on mitochondrial redox signaling using these criteria highlights considerable evidence that mitochondrial superoxide and hydrogen peroxide drive physiological responses involved in cellular stress management, including apoptosis, autophagy, propagation of endoplasmic reticulum stress, cellular senescence, HIF1α signaling, and immune responses. They also affect cell proliferation, migration, differentiation, and the cell cycle. Filtering the huge literature on pathologies highlights strong experimental evidence that 30-40 pathologies may be driven by mitochondrial matrix superoxide or hydrogen peroxide. These can be grouped into overlapping and interacting categories: metabolic, cardiovascular, inflammatory, and neurological diseases; cancer; ischemia/reperfusion injury; aging and its diseases; external insults, and genetic diseases. Understanding the involvement of mitochondrial matrix superoxide and hydrogen peroxide concentrations in these diseases can facilitate the rational development of appropriate therapies.

Phosphoglycerate mutase 5 exacerbates cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury through disrupting mitochondrial quality control. Redox Biol 2020; 38:101777.

Abstract
The death of cardiomyocytes either through apoptosis or necroptosis is the pathological feature of cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5), a mitochondrially-localized serine/threonine-protein phosphatase, functions as a novel inducer of necroptosis. However, intense debate exists regarding the effect of PGAM5 on I/R-related cardiomyocyte death. Using cardiac-specific PGAM5 knockout (PGAM5CKO) mice, we comprehensively investigated the precise contribution and molecular mechanism of PGAM5 in cardiomyocyte death. Our data showed that both PGAM5 transcription and expression were upregulated in reperfused myocardium. Genetic ablation of PGAM5 suppressed I/R-mediated necroptosis but failed to prevent apoptosis activation, a result that went along with improved heart function and decreased inflammation response. Regardless of PGAM5 status, mitophagy-related cell death was not apparent following I/R. Under physiological conditions, PGAM5 overexpression in primary cardiomyocytes was sufficient to induce cardiomyocyte necroptosis rather than apoptosis. At the sub-cellular levels, PGAM5 deficiency increased mitochondrial DNA copy number and transcript levels, normalized mitochondrial respiration, repressed mitochondrial ROS production, and prevented abnormal mPTP opening upon I/R. Molecular investigation demonstrated that PGAM5 deletion interrupted I/R-mediated DrpS637 dephosphorylation but failed to abolish I/R-induce Drp1S616 phosphorylation, resulting in partial inhibition of mitochondrial fission. In addition, declining Mfn2 and OPA1 levels were restored in PGAM5CKO cardiomyocytes following I/R. Nevertheless, PGAM5 depletion did not rescue suppressed mitophagy upon I/R injury. In conclusion, our results provide an insight into the specific role and working mechanism of PGAM5 in driving cardiomyocyte necroptosis through imposing mitochondrial quality control in cardiac I/R injury.

Abstract
Matrine has been found to affect cell viability and function. In the present study, we explored the cardioprotective role of matrine in cardiomyocyte damage under hypoxia/reoxygenation. In vitro, cardiomyocyte hypoxia/reoxygenation was used to mimic ischemia/reperfusion injury in the presence of matrine. After exposure to hypoxia/reoxygenation, cardiomyocyte viability was reduced and cell apoptosis was increased; this alteration was inhibited by matrine. At the molecular levels, Sirt3 and AMPK were significantly downregulated by hypoxia/reoxygenation injury whereas matrine administration was able to upregulate Sirt3 and AMPK expression and activity in the presence of hypoxia/reoxygenation. Interestingly, inhibition of Sirt3/AMPK pathway abolished the cardioprotective action of matrine on cardiomyocyte in the presence of hypoxia/reoxygenation injury, resulting into cardiomyocyte viability reduction and cell death augmentation. Altogether, our results demonstrated a novel role played by matrine in regulating cardiomyocyte viability and death in the presence of hypoxia/reoxygenation, with a potential application in the clinical practice for the treatment of patients with myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Inflammation has been acknowledged as one of the pathological alterations in various cardiovascular disorders. Parkin has been found to be associated with mitochondrial protection. In the present study, we explored the influence of Parkin overexpression on cardiomyocyte induced by LPS-mediated inflammation response. Our results demonstrated that cardiomyocyte viability was reduced and apoptotic rate was increased upon LPS treatment, an effect that may be caused by cardiomyocyte oxidative stress. At the molecular levels, LPS treatment promoted ROS production, a result that was followed by a drop in the levels of anti-oxidants. Interestingly, Parkin overexpression significantly promoted cardiomyocyte survival and this cardioprotective was attributable to the anti-oxidative property. Parkin overexpression enhanced the expression of anti-oxidative factors such as GSH, SOD and GPX, resulting into depressed ROS production. Further, we found that Parkin modulated cellular anti-oxidative capacity through the Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway. This finding demonstrates that oxidative stress could be considered as the core of inflammation response. Further, therapeutic approaches targeting Parkin would improve cardiomyocyte anti-oxidative capacity through activating Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway.

Abstract
Mitochondrial damage is a critical contributor to cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) mechanisms, a series of adaptive responses that preserve mitochondrial structure and function, ensure cardiomyocyte survival and cardiac function after I/R injury. MQC includes mitochondrial fission, mitochondrial fusion, mitophagy and mitochondria-dependent cell death. The interplay among these responses is linked to pathological changes such as redox imbalance, calcium overload, energy metabolism disorder, signal transduction arrest, the mitochondrial unfolded protein response and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Excessive mitochondrial fission is an early marker of mitochondrial damage and cardiomyocyte death. Reduced mitochondrial fusion has been observed in stressed cardiomyocytes and correlates with mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiac depression. Mitophagy allows autophagosomes to selectively degrade poorly structured mitochondria, thus maintaining mitochondrial network fitness. Nevertheless, abnormal mitophagy is maladaptive and has been linked to cell death. Although mitochondria serve as the fuel source of the heart by continuously producing adenosine triphosphate, they also stimulate cardiomyocyte death by inducing apoptosis or necroptosis in the reperfused myocardium. Therefore, defects in MQC may determine the fate of cardiomyocytes. In this review, we summarize the regulatory mechanisms and pathological effects of MQC in myocardial I/R injury, highlighting potential targets for the clinical management of reperfusion.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in the treatment of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, coronary circulation is a so far neglected target of cardioprotection. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying I/R injury to cardiac microcirculation. Using gene delivery, we analyzed microvascular protective effects of sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) on the reperfused heart and examined the role of SERCA in regulating mitochondrial quality control in cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs). Our data showed that SERCA overexpression attenuates lumen stenosis, inhibits microthrombus formation, reduces inflammation response, and improves endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation. In vitro experiments demonstrated that SERCA overexpression improves endothelial viability, barrier integrity, and cytoskeleton assembly in CMECs. Mitochondrial quality control, including mitochondrial fusion, mitophagy, bioenergetics, and biogenesis, were disrupted by I/R injury but were restored by SERCA overexpression. SERCA overexpression also restored mitochondrial quality control by inhibiting calcium overload, inactivating xanthine oxidase (XO), and reducing intracellular/mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). Administration of exogenous XO or a calcium channel agonist abolished the protective effects of SERCA overexpression on mitochondrial quality control and offset the beneficial effects of SERCA overexpression after cardiac microvascular I/R injury. These findings indicate that SERCA overexpression may be an effective approach to targeting cardiac microvascular I/R injury by regulating calcium/XO/ROS signaling and preserving mitochondrial quality control.

Redox Biol 2020; 36:101659. [PMID: 32738788 PMCID: PMC7395441 DOI: 10.1016/j.redox.2020.101659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2020] [Revised: 07/06/2020] [Accepted: 07/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Endothelial cells lining the microvasculature are particularly vulnerable to the deleterious effects of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, a susceptibility that is partially mediated by dysregulated intracellular calcium signals. Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) functions to recycle calcium from the cytosol back to the endoplasmic reticulum. The purpose of this study is to explore the roles and mechanisms of SERCA in protecting microcirculation against cardiac I/R injury. Our data showed that overexpression of SERCA significantly reduced I/R-induced luminal stenosis and vascular wall edema, possibly through normalization of the ratio between eNOS and ET-1. I/R-induced erythrocyte morphological changes in micro-vessels could be reversed by SERCA overexpression through transcriptional inhibition of the expression of adhesive factors. In addition, SERCA-sustained endothelial barrier integrity reduced the likelihood of inflammatory cells infiltrating the myocardium. Furthermore, we found that SERCA overexpression attenuated intracellular calcium overload, suppressed mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) expression, and prevented the abnormal opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores (mPTP) in I/R-treated cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMECs). Interestingly, the administration of calcium activator or MCU agonist induced endothelial necroptosis in vitro and thus abolished the microvascular protection afforded by SERCA in reperfused heart tissue in vivo. In conclusion, by using gene delivery strategies to specifically target SERCA in vitro and in vivo, we identify a potential novel pathway by which SERCA overexpression protects microcirculation against cardiac I/R injury in a manner dependent on the calcium/MCU/necroptosis pathway. These findings should be taken into consideration in the development of pharmacological strategies for therapeutic interventions against cardiac microvascular I/R injury.

Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) becomes an inevitable worldwide public health issue, and deafness treatment is urgently imperative; yet their current curative therapy is limited. Auditory neuropathies (AN) were proved to play a substantial role in SNHL recently, and spiral ganglion neuron (SGN) dysfunction is a dominant pathogenesis of AN. Auditory pathway is a high energy consumption system, and SGNs required sufficient mitochondria. Mitochondria are known treatment target of SNHL, but mitochondrion mechanism and pathology in SGNs are not valued. Mitochondrial dysfunction and pharmacological therapy were studied in neurodegeneration, providing new insights in mitochondrion-targeted treatment of AN. In this review, we summarized mitochondrial biological functions related to SGNs and discussed interaction between mitochondrial dysfunction and AN, as well as existing mitochondrion treatment for SNHL. Pharmaceutical exploration to protect mitochondrion dysfunction is a feasible and effective therapeutics for AN.

Abstract
In this study, we analyzed the role of mammalian STE20-like protein kinase 2 (Mst2), a serine-threonine protein kinase, in Lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-mediated inflammation and apoptosis in the H9C2 cardiomyocytes. Mst2 mRNA and protein levels were significantly upregulated in the LPS-treated H9C2 cardiomyocytes. LPS treatment induced expression of IL-2, IL-8, and MMP9 mRNA and proteins in the H9C2 cardiomyocytes, and this was accompanied by increased caspase-3/9 mediating H9C2 cardiomyocyte apoptosis. LPS treatment also increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the levels of antioxidant enzymes, such as GSH, SOD, and GPX, in the H9C2 cardiomyocytes. The LPS-treated H9C2 cardiomyocytes showed lower cellular ATP levels and mitochondrial state-3/4 respiration but increased mitochondrial fragmentation, including upregulation of the mitochondrial fission genes Drp1, Mff, and Fis1. LPS-induced inflammation, mitochondrial ROS, mitochondrial fission, and apoptosis were all significantly suppressed by pre-treating the H9C2 cardiomyocytes with the Mst2 inhibitor, XMU-MP1. However, the beneficial effects of Mst2 inhibition by XMU-MP1 were abolished by carbonyl cyanide-4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone (FCCP), a potent activator of mitochondrial fission. These findings demonstrate that Mst2 mediates LPS-induced cardiomyocyte inflammation and apoptosis by increasing mitochondrial fission.

Abstract
Spontaneous Ca2+ signaling from the InsP3R intracellular Ca2+ release channel to mitochondria is essential for optimal oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and ATP production. In cells with defective OXPHOS, reductive carboxylation replaces oxidative metabolism to maintain amounts of reducing equivalents and metabolic precursors. To investigate the role of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake in regulating bioenergetics in these cells, we used OXPHOS-competent and OXPHOS-defective cells. Inhibition of InsP3R activity or mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake increased α-ketoglutarate (αKG) abundance and the NAD+/NADH ratio, indicating that constitutive endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-to-mitochondria Ca2+ transfer promoted optimal αKG dehydrogenase (αKGDH) activity. Reducing mitochondrial Ca2+ inhibited αKGDH activity and increased NAD+, which induced SIRT1-dependent autophagy in both OXPHOS-competent and OXPHOS-defective cells. Whereas autophagic flux in OXPHOS-competent cells promoted cell survival, it was impaired in OXPHOS-defective cells because of inhibition of autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Inhibition of αKGDH and impaired autophagic flux in OXPHOS-defective cells resulted in pronounced cell death in response to interruption of constitutive flux of Ca2+ from ER to mitochondria. These results demonstrate that mitochondria play a fundamental role in maintaining bioenergetic homeostasis of both OXPHOS-competent and OXPHOS-defective cells, with Ca2+ regulation of αKGDH activity playing a pivotal role. Inhibition of ER-to-mitochondria Ca2+ transfer may represent a general therapeutic strategy against cancer cells regardless of their OXPHOS status.

Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the major leading causes of hearing impairment, and is typically characterized by the degeneration of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). In previous studies by the authors, it was demonstrated that microRNA (miRNA or miR)-204-5p decreased the viability of SGNs by inhibiting the expression of transmembrane protease, serine 3 (TMPRSS3), which was closely associated with the development of SGNs. However, the upstream regulatory mechanism of miR-204-5p was not fully elucidated. The present study found that an important upstream regulatory factor of miR-204-5p, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) EBLN3P, was expressed at low levels in impaired SGNs, whereas it was expressed at high levels in normal SGNs. Mechanistic analyses demonstrated that lncRNA EBLN3P functioned as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) when regulating miR-204-5p in normal SGNs. In addition, lncRNA EBLN3P regulated TMPRSS3 expression via the regulation of miR-204-5p in normal SGNs. In vitro functional analysis revealed that lncRNA EBLN3P promoted the recovery of the viability of normal SGNs and inhibited the apoptosis of normal SGNs. Finally, the results revealed a recovery-promoting effect of lncRNA EBLN3P on the structure and function of impaired SGNs in models of deafness. On the whole, the findings of the present study demonstrate that lncRNA EBLN3P promotes the recovery of the function of impaired SGNs by competitively binding to miR-204-5p and regulating TMPRSS3 expression. This suggests that lncRNA EBLN3P may be a potential therapeutic target for diseases involving SNHL.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of hearing loss, and 2,3,4′,5-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside (THSG) exerts antioxidant effects by inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. With the aim of developing new therapeutic strategies for oxidative stress, this study investigated the protective mechanism of THSG in vitro using a normal mouse cochlear cell line (UB/OC-2). The THSG and ascorbic acid have similar free radical scavenger capacities. H2O2, but not THSG, reduced the UB/OC-2 cell viability. Moreover, H2O2 might induce apoptosis and autophagy by inducing morphological changes, as visualized by microscopy. As evidenced by Western blot analysis and monodansylcadaverine (MDC) staining, THSG might decrease H2O2-induced autophagy. According to a Western blotting analysis and Annexin V/PI and JC-1 staining, THSG might protect cells from H2O2-induced apoptosis and stabilize the mitochondrial membrane potential. Furthermore, THSG enhanced the translocation of nucleus factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) into the nucleus and increased the mRNA and protein expression of antioxidant/detoxifying enzymes under H2O2-induced oxidative stress conditions. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that THSG, as a scavenging agent, can directly attenuate free radicals and upregulate antioxidant/detoxifying enzymes to protect against oxidative damage and show that THSG protects UB/OC-2 cells from H2O2-induced autophagy and apoptosis in vitro.

Abstract
Mitochondria are key regulators of cell fate through controlling ATP generation and releasing pro-apoptotic factors. Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury to the coronary microcirculation has manifestations ranging in severity from reversible edema to interstitial hemorrhage. A number of mechanisms have been proposed to explain the cardiac microvascular I/R injury including edema, impaired vasomotion, coronary microembolization, and capillary destruction. In contrast to their role in cell types with higher energy demands, mitochondria in endothelial cells primarily function in signaling cellular responses to environmental cues. It is clear that abnormal mitochondrial signatures, including mitochondrial oxidative stress, mitochondrial fission, mitochondrial fusion, and mitophagy, play a substantial role in endothelial cell function. While the pathogenic role of each of these mitochondrial alterations in the endothelial cells I/R injury remains complex, profiling of mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial dynamics in endothelial cell dysfunction may offer promising potential targets in the search for novel diagnostics and therapeutics in cardiac microvascular I/R injury. The objective of this review is to discuss the role of mitochondrial oxidative stress on cardiac microvascular endothelial cells dysfunction. Mitochondrial dynamics, including mitochondrial fission and fusion, are critically discussed to understand their roles in endothelial cell survival. Finally, mitophagy, as a degradative mechanism for damaged mitochondria, is summarized to figure out its contribution to the progression of microvascular I/R injury.

Abstract
Many potential pharmacological targets are present in multiple subcellular compartments and have different pathophysiological roles depending on location. In these cases, selective targeting of a drug to the relevant subcellular domain(s) may help to sharpen its impact by providing topological specificity, thus limiting side effects, and to concentrate the compound where needed, thus increasing its effectiveness. We review here the state of the art in precision subcellular delivery. The major approaches confer "homing" properties to the active principle via permanent or reversible (in pro-drug fashion) modifications, or through the use of special-design nanoparticles or liposomes to ferry a drug(s) cargo to its desired destination. An assortment of peptides, substituents with delocalized positive charges, custom-blended lipid mixtures, pH- or enzyme-sensitive groups provide the main tools of the trade. Mitochondria, lysosomes and the cell membrane may be mentioned as the fronts on which the most significant advances have been made. Most of the examples presented here have to do with targeting natural compounds - in particular polyphenols, known as pleiotropic agents - to one or the other subcellular compartment.

Abstract
Mitochondrial disorders are a group of metabolic conditions caused by impairment of the oxidative phosphorylation system. There is currently no clear evidence supporting any pharmacological interventions for most mitochondrial disorders, except for coenzyme Q10 deficiencies, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, and mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy. Furthermore, some drugs may potentially have detrimental effects on mitochondrial dysfunction. Drugs known to be toxic for mitochondrial functions should be avoided whenever possible. Mitochondrial patients needing one of these treatments should be carefully monitored, clinically and by laboratory exams, including creatine kinase and lactate. In the era of molecular and ‘personalized’ medicine, many different physicians (not only neurologists) should be aware of the basic principles of mitochondrial medicine and its therapeutic implications. Multicenter collaboration is essential for the advancement of therapy for mitochondrial disorders. Whenever possible, randomized clinical trials are necessary to establish efficacy and safety of drugs. In this review we discuss in an accessible way the therapeutic approaches and perspectives in mitochondrial disorders. We will also provide an overview of the drugs that should be used with caution in these patients.

[PMID: 31022870 PMCID: PMC6523236 DOI: 10.3390/antiox8040109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2019] [Revised: 04/22/2019] [Accepted: 04/23/2019] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with the etiologies of sensorineural hearing loss, such as age-related hearing loss, noise- and ototoxic drug-induced hearing loss, as well as hearing loss due to mitochondrial gene mutation. Mitochondria are the main sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ROS-induced oxidative stress is involved in cochlear damage. Moreover, the release of ROS causes further damage to mitochondrial components. Antioxidants are thought to counteract the deleterious effects of ROS and thus, may be effective for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases. The administration of mitochondria-targeted antioxidants is one of the drug delivery systems targeted to mitochondria. Mitochondria-targeted antioxidants are expected to help in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Of the various mitochondria-targeted antioxidants, the protective effects of MitoQ and SkQR1 against ototoxicity have been previously evaluated in animal models and/or mouse auditory cell lines. MitoQ protects against both gentamicin- and cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. SkQR1 also provides auditory protective effects against gentamicin-induced ototoxicity. On the other hand, decreasing effect of MitoQ on gentamicin-induced cell apoptosis in auditory cell lines has been controversial. No clinical studies have been reported for otoprotection using mitochondrial-targeted antioxidants. High-quality clinical trials are required to reveal the therapeutic effect of mitochondria-targeted antioxidants in terms of otoprotection in patients.
