Protective Effect of Electroacupuncture on the Barrier Function of Intestinal Injury in Endotoxemia through HO-1/PINK1 Pathway-Mediated Mitochondrial Dynamics Regulation. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2023; 2023:1464853. [PMID: 36647427 PMCID: PMC9840552 DOI: 10.1155/2023/1464853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2021] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
Background and Aims Endotoxemia (ET) is a common critical illness in patients receiving intensive care and is associated with high mortality and prolonged hospital stay. The intestinal epithelial cell dysfunction is regarded as the "engine" of deteriorated ET. Although electroacupuncture (EA) can mitigate endotoxin-induced intestinal epithelial cell dysfunction in ET, the mechanism through which EA improves endotoxin-induced intestinal injury for preventing ET deterioration needs further investigation. Methods An in vivo ET model was developed by injecting lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in wild-type and PINK1-knockout mice. An in vitro model was also established by incubating epithelial cells in the serum samples obtained from both groups of mice. Hemin and zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP) were applied to activate or inhibit heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) production. EA treatment was performed for 30 min consecutively for 5 days before LPS injection, and on the day of the experiment, EA was performed throughout the process. Samples were harvested at 6 h after LPS induction for analyzing tissue injury, oxidative stress, ATP production, activity of diamine oxidase (DAO), and changes in the levels of HO-1, PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1), mitochondrial fusion and fission marker gene, caspase-1, and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β). Results In the wild-type models (both in vivo and vitro), EA alleviated LPS-induced intestinal injury and mitochondrial dysfunction, as indicated by decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and reduced levels of mitochondrial fission proteins. EA treatment also boosted histopathological morphology, ATP levels, DAO activity, and levels of mitochondrial fusion proteins in vivo and vitro. The effect of EA was enhanced by hemin but suppressed by Znpp. However, EA + AP, Znpp, or hemin had no effects on the LPS-induced, PINK1-knocked out mouse models. Conclusion EA may improve the HO-1/PINK1 pathway-mediated mitochondrial dynamic balance to protect the intestinal barrier in patients with ET.

Abstract
Mitochondria are biosynthetic, bioenergetic, and signaling organelles which are critical for physiological adaptations and cellular stress responses to the environment. Various endogenous and environmental stress affects critical processes in mitochondrial homeostasis such as oxidative phosphorylation, biogenesis, mitochondrial redox system which leads to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals. The state of function of the mitochondrion is particularly dependent on the dynamic balance between mitochondrial biogenesis, fusion and fission, and degradation of damaged mitochondria by mitophagy. Increasing evidence has suggested a prominent role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the onset and progression of various lung pathologies, ranging from acute to chronic disorders. In this comprehensive review, we discuss the emerging findings of multifaceted regulations of mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy in normal lung homeostasis as well as the prominence of mitochondrial dysfunction as a determining factor in different lung disorders such as lung cancer, COPD, IPF, ALI/ARDS, BPD, and asthma. The review will contribute to the existing understanding of critical molecular machinery regulating mitochondrial dynamic state during these pathological states. Furthermore, we have also highlighted various molecular checkpoints involved in mitochondrial dynamics, which may serve as hopeful therapeutic targets for the development of potential therapies for these lung disorders.

Abstract
Sepsis is a lethal syndrome with multiple organ failure caused by an inappropriate host response to infection. Cardiac dysfunction is one of the important complications of sepsis, termed sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD), which is characterized by systolic and diastolic dysfunction of both sides of the heart. Mechanisms that contribute to SIMD include an excessive inflammatory response, altered circulatory, microvascular status, nitric oxide (NO) synthesis impairment, endothelial dysfunction, disorders of calcium regulation, cardiac autophagy anomaly, autonomic nervous system dysregulation, metabolic reprogramming, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The role of mitochondrial dysfunction, which is characterized by structural abnormalities, increased oxidative stress, abnormal opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), mitochondrial uncoupling, and disordered quality control systems, has been gaining increasing attention as a central player in the pathophysiology of SIMD. The disruption of homeostasis within the organism induced by mitochondrial dysfunction may also be an important aspect of SIMD development. In addition, an emerging therapy strategy targeting mitochondria, namely, metabolic resuscitation, seems promising. The current review briefly introduces the mechanism of SIMD, highlights how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to SIMD, and discusses the role of metabolic resuscitation in the treatment of SIMD.

Abstract
Increasing lines of evidence identified that dexmedetomidine (DEX) exerted protective effects against sepsis-stimulated acute lung injury via anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and anti-apoptosis. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Herein, we investigated whether DEX afforded lung protection by regulating the process of mitochondrial dynamics through the HIF-1a/HO-1 pathway in vivo and in vitro. Using C57BL/6J mice exposed to lipopolysaccharide, it was initially observed that preemptive administration of DEX (50μg/kg) alleviated lung pathologic injury, reduced oxidative stress indices (OSI), improved mitochondrial dysfunction, upregulated the expression of HIF-1α and HO-1, accompanied by shifting the dynamic course of mitochondria into fusion. Moreover, HO-1-knockout mice or HO-1 siRNA transfected NR8383 cells were pretreated with HIF-1α stabilizer DMOG and DEX to validate the effect of HIF-1a/HO-1 pathway on DEX-mediated mitochondrial dynamics in a model of endotoxin-induced lung injury. We found that pretreatment with DEX and DMOG distinctly relieved lung injury, decreased the levels of mitochondrial ROS and mtDNA, reduced OSI, increased nuclear accumulation of HIF-1a and HO-1 protein in wild type mice but not HO-1 KO mice. Similar observations were recapitulated in NC siRNA transfected NR8383 cells after LPS stimulation but not HO-1 siRNA transfected cells. Concertedly, DEX reversed the impaired mitochondrial morphology in LPS stimulated-wild type mice or NC siRNA transfected NR8383 cells, upregulated the expression of mitochondrial fusion protein, while downregulated the expression of fission protein in HIF-1a/HO-1 dependent pathway. Altogether, our data both in vivo and in vitro certified that DEX treatment ameliorated endotoxin-induced acute lung injury by preserving the dynamic equilibrium of mitochondrial fusion/fission through the regulation of HIF-1a/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Sepsis caused acute lung injury (ALI) is a kind of serious disease in critically ill patients with very high morbidity and mortality. Recently, it has been demonstrated that Golgi is involved in the process of oxidative stress. However, whether Golgi stress is associated with oxidative stress in septic induced acute lung injury has not been elucidated. In this research, we found that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation and Golgi morphology changes in acute lung injury both in vivo and in vitro. The knockout of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) aggravated oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and reduced the expression of Golgi matrix protein 130 (GM130), mannosidase Ⅱ, Golgi-associated protein golgin A1 (Golgin 97), and increased the expression of Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3), which caused the fragmentation of Golgi. Furtherly, the activation of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)/HO-1 pathway, attenuates Golgi stress and oxidative stress by increasing the levels of GM130, mannosidase Ⅱ, Golgin 97, and decreasing the expression of GOLPH3 both in vivo and in vitro. Therefore, the activation of HO-1 plays a crucial role in alleviating sepsis-induced acute lung injury by regulating Golgi stress, oxidative stress, which may provide a therapeutic target for the treatment of acute lung injury.

Abstract
Mitochondria maintain mitochondrial homeostasis through continuous fusion and fission, that is, mitochondrial dynamics, which is precisely mediated by mitochondrial fission and fusion proteins, including dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), mitofusin 1 and 2 (Mfn1/2), and optic atrophy 1 (OPA1). When the mitochondrial fission and fusion of cardiomyocytes are out of balance, they will cause their own morphology and function disorders, which damage the structure and function of the heart, are involved in the occurrence and progression of cardiovascular disease such as ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), septic cardiomyopathy, and diabetic cardiomyopathy. In this paper, we focus on the latest findings regarding the molecular features and regulatory mechanisms of mitochondrial dynamic disorder in cardiovascular pathologies. Finally, we will address how these findings can be applied to improve the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Relationship between bovine oocytes developmental competence and mRNA expression of apoptotic and mitochondrial genes following the change of vitrification temperatures and cryoprotectant concentrations.

Abstract
The present study analyzed the relationship between bovine oocytes developmental competence and mRNA expression of apoptotic and mitochondrial genes following the change of vitrification temperatures (VTs) and cryoprotectant agent concentrations (CPAs). Cumulus oocyte complexes were randomly divided into five groups: control, vitrified in liquid nitrogen (LN; -196 °C) with 5.6 M CPAs (LN 5.6 M), LN with 6.6 M CPAs (LN 6.6 M), liquid helium (LHe; -269 °C) with 5.6 M CPAs (LHe 5.6 M), and LHe with 6.6 M CPAs (LHe 6.6 M). After vitrification and warming, oocytes of vitrified and control groups were subjected to in vitro maturation (IVM), in vitro fertilization and in vitro culture. The blastocyst rate in LHe 5.6 M group was the highest among the four vitrified groups (13.7% vs. 9.4%, 1.3%, and 8.4%; P < 0.05). The mRNA expression level of 8 apoptotic- and 12 mitochondria-related genes were detected through qRT-PCR after IVM. Lower VT (LHe, -269 °C) positively affected the mRNA expression levels of apoptotic genes (BAD, BID, BTK, TP53, and TP53I3) and mitochondrial genes (COX6B1, DERA, FIS1, NDUFA1, NDUFA4, PRDX2, SLC25A5, TFB1M, and UQCRB), and reduced oxidative stress from freezing. Decreased CPAs (5.6 M) positively affected mRNA expression levels of apoptotic genes (BAD, BCL2A1, BID, and CASP3) in LHe vitrification but negatively affected apoptotic genes (BAD, BAX, BID, BTK, and BCL2A1) in LN vitrification. In conclusion, decreased VTs and CPAs in LHe vitrification may increase the blastocyst rate by changing the mRNA expression levels of these apoptotic and mitochondrial genes for the vitrified oocytes.

Abstract
Treating acute kidney injury (AKI) represents an important unmet medical need both in terms of the seriousness of this medical problem and the number of patients. There is also a large untapped market opportunity in treating AKI. Over the years, there has been much effort in search of therapeutics with minimal success. However, over the same time period, new understanding of the underlying pathobiology and molecular mechanisms of kidney injury have undoubtedly helped the search for new therapeutics. Along this line, carbon monoxide (CO) has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent because of its demonstrated cytoprotective, and immunomodulatory effects. CO has also been shown to sensitize cancer, but not normal cells, to chemotherapy. This is particularly important in treating cisplatin-induced AKI, a common clinical problem that develops in patients receiving cisplatin therapies for a number of different solid organ malignancies. This review will examine and make the case that CO be developed into a therapeutic agent against AKI.

PI3K/Akt pathway-mediated HO-1 induction regulates mitochondrial quality control and attenuates endotoxin-induced acute lung injury. J Transl Med 2019; 99:1795-1809.

Abstract
Sepsis-related acute lung injury (ALI) remains a major cause of mortality in critically ill patients and lacks specific therapy. Mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in the progression of septic lung injury. Mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy, and biogenesis converge to constitute the assiduous quality control of mitochondria (MQC). Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protects against sepsis-induced ALI through the modulation of mitochondrial dynamics. However, the causal relationship between HO-1 and the general processes of MQC, and their associated cellular pathways in sepsis-related ALI remain ill-defined. Herein, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI in Sprague-Dawley rats together with LPS-induced oxidative injury in RAW264.7 macrophages were used to investigate whether the PI3K/Akt pathway-mediated induction of HO-1 preserves MQC and alleviates septic lung injury. After pretreatment with hemin, a potent inducer of HO-1, LPS-induced cell apoptosis, enhanced mitochondrial fragmentation, and mitochondrial membrane potential damage were significantly reduced in macrophages. In rats, these effects were accompanied by a higher survival rate, less damage to lung tissue, a 28.5% elevation in lung mitochondria MnSOD activity, and a 39.2% increase in respiratory control ratios. Concomitantly, HO-1 induction preserved the dynamic process of mitochondrial fusion/fission (Mfn2, OPA1, Drp1), promoted mitochondrial biogenesis (NRF1, PGC1α, Tfam), and facilitated the key mediators of mitochondrial mitophagy (Parkin, PINK1) at mRNA and protein levels. Notably, LY294002, a PI3K inhibitor, or knockdown of PI3K by small interfering RNA significantly suppressed Akt phosphorylation, attenuated HO-1 induction, and further reversed these beneficial effects evoked by hemin pretreatment in RAW264.7 cells or rats received LPS, indicating a direct involvement of PI3K/Akt pathway. Taken together, our results indicated that HO-1 activation, through PI3K/Akt pathway, plays a critical role in protecting lung from oxidative injury in the setting of sepsis by regulating MQC. HO-1 may therefore be a therapeutic target for the prevention sepsis-related lung injury.

Abstract
Significance: Sepsis is the main cause of death among patients admitted to the intensive care unit. As current treatment is limited to antimicrobial therapy and supportive care, mortality remains high, which warrants efforts to find novel therapies. Recent Advances: Mitochondrial dysfunction is emerging as a key process in the induction of organ dysfunction during sepsis, and metabolic resuscitation might reveal to be a novel cornerstone in the treatment of sepsis. Critical Issues: Here, we review novel strategies to maintain organ function in sepsis by precluding mitochondrial dysfunction by lowering energetic demand to allow preservation of adenosine triphosphate-levels, while reducing free radical generation. As the most common strategy to suppress metabolism, that is, cooling, does not reveal unequivocal beneficial effects and may even increase mortality, caloric restriction or modulation of energy-sensing pathways (i.e., sirtuins and AMP-activated protein kinase) may offer safe alternatives. Similar effects may be offered when mimicking hibernation by hydrogen sulfide (H2S). In addition H2S may also confer beneficial effects through upregulation of antioxidant mechanisms, similar to the other gasotransmitters nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, which display antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in sepsis. In addition, oxidative stress may be averted by systemic or mitochondria-targeted antioxidants, of which a wide range are able to lower inflammation, as well as reduce organ dysfunction and mortality from sepsis. Future Directions: Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in the pathophysiology of sepsis. As a consequence, metabolic resuscitation might reveal to be a novel cornerstone in the treatment of sepsis.

Abstract
Sepsis-related acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by marked oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction lacking of specific therapy. Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 followed by endogenous carbon monoxide (CO) exerted a cytoprotective effect against multi-organ damage during sepsis. Additionally, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway, which serves as an upstream regulator of HO-1, was associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate whether the PI3K/Akt pathway was involved in the effects of HO-1/CO on the expression of mitochondrial fission 1 protein (Fis1). In the present study, CO releasing molecule-2 (CORM2), as the exogenous source of CO, plus LY294002, as a specific PI3K inhibitor, were pre-incubated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-simulated rat NR8383 alveolar macrophages. The results demonstrated that CORM2 improved cell viability, inhibited tumor necrosis factor-α levels, malondialdehyde contents, while elevating interleukin-10 levels and superoxide dismutase activities. In addition, pretreatment with CORM2 suppressed the fragmentation of mitochondria, upregulated the expressions of phosphorylated-Akt and HO-1 but downregulated the levels of Fis1 mRNA and protein in LPS-exposed cells. However, pretreatment with LY294002 significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt, decreased HO-1 levels, aggravated mitochondrial fragmentation, increased Fis1 mRNA and protein levels, and reversed the above protective effects of CORM2. Collectively, the results of the present study indicated that the PI3K/Akt pathway mediated the cytoprotective effects of HO-1/CO on the transcription and translational levels of Fis1, and alleviated LPS-induced oxidative injury in alveolar macrophages.

TLR4 Activation Promotes the Progression of Experimental Autoimmune Myocarditis to Dilated Cardiomyopathy by Inducing Mitochondrial Dynamic Imbalance. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2018; 2018:3181278. [PMID: 30046376 PMCID: PMC6038665 DOI: 10.1155/2018/3181278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2017] [Revised: 03/11/2018] [Accepted: 04/02/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Mitochondrial dynamic imbalance associates with several cardiovascular diseases. However, the role of mitochondrial dynamics in TLR4 activation-mediated dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) progress remains unknown. A model of experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) was established in BALB/c mice on which TLR4 activation by LPS-EB or TLR4 inhibition by LPS-RS was performed to induce chronic inflammation for 5 weeks. TLR4 activation promoted the transition of EAM to DCM as demonstrated by increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis, myocardial fibrosis, ventricular dilatation, and declined heart function. TLR4 inhibition mitigated the above DCM changes. Transmission electron microscope study showed that mitochondria became fragmented, also with damaged crista in ultrastructure in EAM mice. TLR4 activation aggravated the above mitochondrial aberration, and TLR4 inhibition alleviated it. The mitochondrial dynamic imbalance and damage in DCM development were mainly associated with OPA1 downregulation, which may be caused by elevated TNF-α level and ROS stress after TLR4 activation. Furthermore, OMA1/YME1L abnormal degradation was involved in the OPA1 dysfunction, and intervening OMA1/YME1L in H9C2 significantly alleviated mitochondrial fission, ultrastructure damage, and cell apoptosis induced by TNF-α and ROS. These data indicate that TLR4 activation resulted in OPA1 dysfunction, promoting mitochondrial dynamic imbalance and damage, which may involve in the progress of EAM to DCM.
