PROTOPLASMA 2024; 261:1073-1092. [PMID: 38702562 PMCID: PMC11358197 DOI: 10.1007/s00709-024-01953-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Phytophthora cinnamomi is an oomycete plant pathogen with a host range of almost 5000 plant species worldwide and therefore poses a serious threat to biodiversity. Omics technology has provided significant progress in our understanding of oomycete biology, however, transformation studies of Phytophthora for gene functionalisation are still in their infancy. Only a limited number of Phytophthora species have been successfully transformed and gene edited to elucidate the role of particular genes. There is a need to escalate our efforts to understand molecular processes, gene regulation and infection mechanisms of the pathogen to enable us to develop new disease management strategies. The primary obstacle hindering the advancement of transformation studies in Phytophthora is their challenging and unique nature, coupled with our limited comprehension of why they remain such an intractable system to work with. In this study, we have identified some of the key factors associated with the recalcitrant nature of P. cinnamomi. We have incorporated fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry along with the organelle-specific dyes, fluorescein diacetate, Hoechst 33342 and MitoTracker™ Red CMXRos, to assess P. cinnamomi-derived protoplast populations. This approach has also provided valuable insights into the broader cell biology of Phytophthora. Furthermore, we have optimized the crucial steps that allow transformation of P. cinnamomi and have generated transformed isolates that express a cyan fluorescent protein, with a transformation efficiency of 19.5%. We therefore provide a platform for these methodologies to be applied for the transformation of other Phytophthora species and pave the way for future gene functionalisation studies.

Abstract
Despite the high incidence of breast cancer in women worldwide, there are still great challenges in the treatment process. Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles, and their dynamics involve cellular energy conversion, signal conduction and other processes. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have affirmed the dynamics of mitochondria as the basis for cancer progression and metastasis; that is, an imbalance between mitochondrial fission and fusion may lead to the progression and metastasis of breast cancer. Here, we review the latest insights into mitochondrial dynamics in the progression of breast cancer and emphasize the clinical value of mitochondrial dynamics in diagnosis and prognosis, as well as important advances in clinical research.

Abstract
Monitoring mitochondrial function and mitochondrial quality control in tissues is a crucial aspect of understanding cellular health and dysfunction, which may inform about the pathogenesis of several conditions associated with aging, including chronic inflammatory conditions, neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic diseases. This process involves assessing the functionality, integrity, and abundance of mitochondria within cells. Several lines of evidence have explored techniques and methods for monitoring mitochondrial quality control in tissues. In this review, we summarize and provide our perspective considering the latest evidence in mitochondrial function and mitochondrial quality control in oral health and disease with a particular focus in periodontal inflammation. This research is significant for gaining insights into cellular health and the pathophysiology of periodontal disease, a dysbiosis-related, immune mediated and age-associated chronic condition representing a significant burden to US elderly population. Approaches for assessing mitochondrial health status reviewed here include assessing mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, oxidative stress, electron transport chain function and metabolomics. Such assessments help researchers comprehend the role of mitochondrial function in cellular homeostasis and its implications for oral diseases.

Abstract
Mitochondria play pivotal roles in sustaining various biological functions including energy metabolism, cellular signaling transduction, and innate immune responses. Viruses exploit cellular metabolic synthesis to facilitate viral replication, potentially disrupting mitochondrial functions and subsequently eliciting a cascade of proinflammatory responses in host cells. Additionally, the disruption of mitochondrial membranes is involved in immune regulation. During viral infections, mitochondria orchestrate innate immune responses through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the release of mitochondrial DNA, which serves as an effective defense mechanism against virus invasion. The targeting of mitochondrial damage may represent a novel approach to antiviral intervention. This review summarizes the regulatory mechanism underlying proinflammatory response induced by mitochondrial damage during viral infections, providing new insights for antiviral strategies.

Abstract
Stroke represents a significant global health burden, with a substantial impact on mortality, morbidity, and long-term disability. The examination of stroke biomarkers, particularly the oral microbiome, offers a promising avenue for advancing our understanding of the factors that contribute to stroke risk and for developing strategies to mitigate that risk. This review highlights the significant correlations between oral diseases, such as periodontitis and caries, and the onset of stroke. Periodontal pathogens within the oral microbiome have been identified as a contributing factor in the exacerbation of risk factors for stroke, including obesity, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and endothelial dysfunction. The alteration of the oral microbiome may contribute to these conditions, emphasizing the vital role of oral health in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. The integration of dental and medical health practices represents a promising avenue for enhancing stroke prevention efforts and improving patient outcomes.

Capsaicin attenuates Porphyromonas gingivalis-suppressed osteogenesis of periodontal ligament stem cells via regulating mitochondrial function and activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. J Periodontal Res 2024; 59:798-811. [PMID: 38699845 DOI: 10.1111/jre.13252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Prevention of periodontal bone resorption triggered by Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is crucial for dental stability. Capsaicin, known as the pungent ingredient of chili peppers, can activate key signaling molecules involved in osteogenic process. However, the effect of capsaicin on osteogenesis of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) under inflammation remains elusive. METHODS P. gingivalis culture suspension was added to mimic the inflammatory status after capsaicin pretreatment. The effects of capsaicin on the osteogenesis of PDLSCs, as well as mitochondrial morphology, Ca2+ level, reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and osteogenesis-regulated protein expression levels were analyzed. Furthermore, a mouse experimental periodontitis model was established to evaluate the effect of capsaicin on alveolar bone resorption and the expression of osteogenesis-related proteins. RESULTS Under P. gingivalis stimulation, capsaicin increased osteogenesis of PDLSCs. Not surprisingly, capsaicin rescued the damage to mitochondrial morphology, decreased the concentration of intracellular Ca2+ and ROS, enhanced MMP and activated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. The in vivo results showed that capsaicin significantly attenuated alveolar bone loss and augmented the expression of bone associated proteins. CONCLUSION Capsaicin increases osteogenesis of PDLSCs under inflammation and reduces alveolar bone resorption in mouse experimental periodontitis.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a complex disease caused by multiple pathological factors threatening human health-the pathogenesis is yet to be fully elucidated. In recent years, studies have exhibited that the onset of AS is closely involved with oral and gut microbiota, which may initiate or worsen atherosclerotic processes through several mechanisms. As for how the two microbiomes affect AS, existing mechanisms include invading plaque, producing active metabolites, releasing lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and inducing elevated levels of inflammatory mediators. Considering the possible profound connection between oral and gut microbiota, the effect of the interaction between the two microbiomes on the initiation and progression of AS has been investigated. Findings are oral microbiota can lead to gut dysbiosis, and exacerbate intestinal inflammation. Nevertheless, relevant research is not commendably refined and a concrete review is needed. Hence, in this review, we summarize the most recent mechanisms of the oral microbiota and gut microbiota on AS, illustrate an overview of the current clinical and epidemiological evidence to support the bidirectional connection between the two microbiomes and AS.

Gold core@CeO 2 halfshell Janus nanocomposites catalyze targeted sulfate radical for periodontitis therapy. J Control Release 2024; 370:600-613.

Abstract
The sulfate radical (SO4•-), known for its high reactivity and long lifespan, has emerged as a potent antimicrobial agent. Its exceptional energy allows for the disruption of vital structures and metabolic pathways in bacteria that are usually inaccessible to common radicals. Despite its promising potential, the efficient generation of this radical, particularly through methods involving enzymes and photocatalysis, remains a substantial challenge. Here, we capitalized on the peroxidase (POD)-mimicking activity and photocatalytic properties of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanozymes, integrating these properties with the enhanced concept of plasma gold nanorod (GNR) to develop a half-encapsulated core@shell GNRs@CeO2 Janus heterostructure impregnated with persulfate. Under near-infrared irradiation, the GNRs generate hot electrons, thereby boosting the CeO2's enzyme-like activity and initiating a potent reactive oxygen species (ROS) storm. This distinct nanoarchitecture facilitates functional specialization, wherein the heterostructure and efficient light absorption ensured continuous hot electron flow, not only enhancing the POD-like activity of CeO2 for the production of SO4•- effectively, but also contributing a significant photothermal effect, disrupting periodontal plaque biofilm and effectively eradicating pathogens. Furthermore, the local temperature elevation synergistically enhances the POD-like activity of CeO2. Transcriptomics analysis, as well as animal experiments of the periodontitis model, have revealed that pathogens undergo genetic information destruction, metabolic disorders, and pathogenicity changes in the powerful ROS system, and profound therapeutic outcomes in vivo, including anti-inflammation and bone preservation. This study demonstrated that energy transfer to augment nanozyme activity, specifically targeting ROS generation, constitutes a significant advancement in antibacterial treatment.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate correlation between mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and Porphyromonas gingivalis in the process of cementoblast pyroptosis. Lactate dehydrogenase activity assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, western blotting and flow cytometry analysis were utilized to explore whether Porphyromonas gingivalis triggered pyroptosis in cementoblasts. Reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species were detected using flow cytometry and fluorescence staining. The effect of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species on the Porphyromonas gingivalis-induced pyroptosis of cementoblasts was assessed by Mito-Tempo, mitochondrion-targeted superoxide dismutase mimetic. Phosphorylation levels of p65 were measured by western blotting. SC75741, a nuclear factor-kappa B inhibitor, was added to block the nuclear factor-kappa B in the Porphyromonas gingivalis-infected cementoblasts. Porphyromonas gingivalis triggered pyroptosis of cementoblasts, and an elevation in reactive oxygen species generation in the mitochondria was observed. Inhibition of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species reduced pyroptosis and nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway mediated the pyroptotic cell death in Porphyromonas gingivalis-infected cementoblasts. Together, our findings demonstrate that mitochondrial reactive oxygen species increased by Porphyromonas gingivalis participated in the pyroptosis of cementoblasts. Targeting mitochondrial reactive oxygen species may offer therapeutic strategies for root surface remodeling or periodontal regeneration.

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.

Ultrastructural localization of Porphyromonas gingivalis gingipains in the substantia nigra of Parkinson's disease brains. NPJ Parkinsons Dis 2024; 10:90. [PMID: 38664405 PMCID: PMC11045759 DOI: 10.1038/s41531-024-00705-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Gingipains are protease virulence factors produced by Porphyromonas gingivalis, a Gram-negative bacterium best known for its role in chronic periodontitis. Gingipains were recently identified in the middle temporal gyrus of postmortem Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains, where gingipain load correlated with AD diagnosis and tau and ubiquitin pathology. Since AD and Parkinson's disease (PD) share some overlapping pathologic features, including nigral pathology and Lewy bodies, the current study explored whether gingipains are present in the substantia nigra pars compacta of PD brains. In immunohistochemical techniques and multi-channel fluorescence studies, gingipain antigens were abundant in dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of both PD and neurologically normal control brains. 3-dimensional reconstructions of Lewy body containing neurons revealed that gingipains associated with the periphery of alpha-synuclein aggregates but were occasionally observed inside aggregates. In vitro proteomic analysis demonstrated that recombinant alpha-synuclein is cleaved by lysine-gingipain, generating multiple alpha-synuclein fragments including the non-amyloid component fragments. Immunogold electron microscopy with co-labeling of gingipains and alpha-synuclein confirmed the occasional colocalization of gingipains with phosphorylated (pSER129) alpha-synuclein. In dopaminergic neurons, gingipains localized to the perinuclear cytoplasm, neuromelanin, mitochondria, and nucleus. These data suggest that gingipains localize in dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and interact with alpha-synuclein.

CircHIPK3 targets DRP1 to mediate hydrogen peroxide-induced necroptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells and atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque formation. J Adv Res 2024:S2090-1232(24)00154-1. [PMID: 38621622 DOI: 10.1016/j.jare.2024.04.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Necroptosis triggered by H2O2 is hypothesized to be a critical factor in the rupture of atherosclerotic plaques, which may precipitate acute cardiovascular events. Nevertheless, the specific regulatory molecules of this development remain unclear. We aims to elucidate a mechanism from the perspective of circular RNA. OBJECTIVES There are few studies on circRNA in VSMCs necroptosis. The objective of our research is to shed light on the intricate roles that circHIPK3 plays in the process of necroptosis in VSMCs and the development of atherosclerotic plaques that are prone to rupture. Our study elucidates the specific molecular mechanisms by which circHIPK3 regulates necroptosis and atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque formation through targeted proteins. Identifying this mechanism at the cellular level offers a molecular framework for understanding plaque progression and stability regulation, as well as a potential biomarker for the prognosis of susceptible atherosclerotic plaques. METHODS We collected clinical vascular tissue for HE staining and Masson staining to determine the presence and stability of plaques. Then, NCBI database was used to screen out circRNA with elevated expression level in plaque tissue, and the up-regulated circRNA, circHIPK3, was verified by qRT-PCR and FISH. Further, we synthesized circHIPK3's small interference sequence and overexpressed plasmid in vitro, and verified its regulation effect on necroptosis of VSMCs under physiological and pathological conditions by WB, qRT-PCR and PI staining. Through RNA pull down, mass spectrometry and RNA immunoprecipitation, DRP1 was identified as circHIPK3 binding protein and was positively regulated by circHIPK3. Meanwhile, on the basis of silencing of DRP1, the regulation of circHIPK3 on necroptosis is verified to be mediated by DRP1. Finally, we validated the regulation of circHIPK3 on vulnerable plaque formation in ApoE-/- mice. RESULTS We investigated that circHIPK3 was highly expressed in vulnerable plaques, and the increase in expression level promoted H2O2 induced necroptosis of VSMCs. CircHIPK3 targeted the protein DRP1, leading to an elevation in mitochondrial division rate, resulting in increased reactive oxygen species and impaired mitochondrial function, ultimately leading to necroptosis of VSMCs and vulnerable plaque formation. CONCLUSION CircHIPK3 interact with DRP1 involve in H2O2 induced Mitochondrial damage and necroptosis of VSMCs, and Silencing circHIPK3 in vivo can reduce atherosclerotic vulnerable plaque formation. Our research findings may have applications in providing diagnostic biomarkers for vulnerable plaques.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is associated with several lifestyle-related diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, and it contributes significantly to the global health burden. Recent research indicates a link between cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs), excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), mitochondrial impairment, and endothelial dysfunction. Circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are recruited into the vessel wall to maintain appropriate endothelial function, repair, and angiogenesis. After attachment, EPCs differentiate into mature endothelial cells (ECs). Like ECs, EPCs are also susceptible to CVRFs, including metabolic dysfunction and chronic inflammation. Therefore, mitochondrial dysfunction of EPCs may have long-term effects on the function of the mature ECs into which EPCs differentiate, particularly in the presence of endothelial damage. However, a link between CVRFs and impaired mitochondrial function in EPCs has hardly been investigated. In this review, we aim to consolidate existing knowledge on the development of mitochondrial and endothelial dysfunction in the vascular endothelium, place it in the context of recent studies investigating the consequences of CVRFs on EPCs, and discuss the role of mitochondrial dysfunction. Thus, we aim to gain a comprehensive understanding of mechanisms involved in EPC deterioration in relation to CVRFs and address potential therapeutic interventions targeting mitochondrial health to promote endothelial function.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic infectious disorder damaging periodontal tissues, including the gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone. It arises from the complex interplay between pathogenic oral bacteria and host immune response. Contrary to the previous view of "energy factories", mitochondria have recently been recognized as semi-autonomous organelles that fine-tune cell survival, death, metabolism, and other functions. Under physiological conditions, periodontal tissue cells participate in dynamic processes, including differentiation, mineralization, and regeneration. These fundamental activities depend on properly functioning mitochondria, which play a crucial role through bioenergetics, dynamics, mitophagy, and quality control. However, during the initiation and progression of periodontitis, mitochondrial quality control is compromised due to a range of challenges, such as bacterial-host interactions, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Currently, mounting evidence suggests that mitochondria dysfunction serves as a common pathological mechanism linking periodontitis with systemic conditions like type II diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, targeting mitochondria to intervene in periodontitis and multiple associated systemic diseases holds great therapeutic potential. This review provides advanced insights into the interplay between mitochondria, periodontitis, and associated systemic diseases. Moreover, we emphasize the significance of diverse therapeutic modulators and signaling pathways that regulate mitochondrial function in periodontal and systemic cells.

Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is a key pathogen of periodontitis. Increasing evidence shows that P. gingivalis signals to mitochondria in periodontal cells, including gingival epithelial cells, gingival fibroblast cells, immune cells, etc. Mitochondrial dysfunction affects the cellular state and participates in periodontal inflammatory response through the aberrant release of mitochondrial contents. In the current review, it was summarized that P. gingivalis induced mitochondrial dysfunction by altering the mitochondrial metabolic state, unbalancing mitochondrial quality control, prompting mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and regulating mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. This review outlines the impacts of P. gingivalis and its virulence factors on the mitochondrial function of periodontal cells and their role in periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cementoblasts on the tooth-root surface are responsible for cementum formation (cementogenesis) and sensitive to Porphyromonas gingivalis stimulation. We have previously proved transcription factor CXXC-type zinc finger protein 5 (CXXC5) participates in cementogenesis. Here, we aimed to elucidate the mechanism in which CXXC5 regulates P. gingivalis-inhibited cementogenesis from the perspective of mitochondrial biogenesis. METHODS In vivo, periapical lesions were induced in mouse mandibular first molars by pulp exposure, and P. gingivalis was applied into the root canals. In vitro, a cementoblast cell line (OCCM-30) was induced cementogenesis and submitted for RNA sequencing. These cells were co-cultured with P. gingivalis and examined for osteogenic ability and mitochondrial biogenesis. Cells with stable CXXC5 overexpression were constructed by lentivirus transduction, and PGC-1α (central inducer of mitochondrial biogenesis) was down-regulated by siRNA transfection. RESULTS Periapical lesions were enlarged, and PGC-1α expression was reduced by P. gingivalis treatment. Upon apical inflammation, Cxxc5 expression decreased with Il-6 upregulation. RNA sequencing showed enhanced expression of osteogenic markers, Cxxc5, and mitochondrial biogenesis markers during cementogenesis. P. gingivalis suppressed osteogenic capacities, mitochondrial biogenesis markers, mitochondrial (mt)DNA copy number, and cellular ATP content of cementoblasts, whereas CXXC5 overexpression rescued these effects. PGC-1α knockdown dramatically impaired cementoblast differentiation, confirming the role of mitochondrial biogenesis on cementogenesis. CONCLUSIONS CXXC5 is a P. gingivalis-sensitive transcription factor that positively regulates cementogenesis by influencing PGC-1α-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis. Video Abstract.

[PMID: 38082266 PMCID: PMC10714482 DOI: 10.1186/s12974-023-02982-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroinflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction play crucial roles in retinal ischemia and reperfusion (IR) injury. Recent studies have identified mitochondrial function as a promising target for immunomodulation. Empagliflozin (EMPA), an anti-diabetic drug, has exhibited great potential as both an anti-inflammatory agent and a protector of mitochondrial health. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic efficacy of EMPA in retinal IR injury. METHODS To evaluate the protective effects of EMPA, the drug was injected into the vitreous body of mice post-retinal IR. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis was conducted to uncover the underlying mechanisms, and the results were further validated through in vivo and in vitro experiments. RESULTS EMPA effectively protected retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) from IR injury by attenuating local retinal inflammation. The scRNA-seq analysis revealed that EMPA downregulated the nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat containing protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling pathway and restored mitochondrial dynamics by upregulating the expression of mitochondrial fusion-related genes, Mitofusin 1 (Mfn1) and optic atrophy 1 (Opa1). These findings were further corroborated by Western blotting. In vitro experiments provided additional insights, demonstrating that EMPA suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cell inflammation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Moreover, EMPA enhanced mitochondrial fusion, neutralized mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), and restored mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in BV2 microglia. Notably, genetic ablation of Mfn1 or Opa1 abolished the anti-inflammatory effects of EMPA. CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlight the positive contribution of Mfn1 and Opa1 to the anti-inflammatory therapeutic effect of EMPA. By restoring mitochondrial dynamics, EMPA effectively mitigates microglia-mediated neuroinflammation and prevents RGC loss in retinal IR injury.

Abstract
Congenital syphilis, a significant cause of fetal mortality worldwide, is a congenital infectious disease instigated by the vertical transmission of Treponema pallidum during pregnancy. Clinical manifestations include preterm delivery, stillbirth, neonatal skin lesions, skeletal abnormalities, and central nervous system aberrations. The ongoing increase in the incidence of congenital syphilis, coupled with complexities in diagnosis, necessitates a detailed understanding of its pathogenesis for the development of improved diagnostic approaches, and to interrupt the route of vertical transmission. Drawing from the broader body of research associated with vertical transmission pathogens, we aim to clarify the potential mechanisms by which Treponema pallidum breaches the placental barrier to infect the fetus.

Abstract
Periodontitis, a major inflammatory disease of the oral cavity that can cause low-grade systemic inflammation, has been suggested to influence the development of comorbidities. Multiple systemic inflammatory mechanisms are common in the development of periodontal disease and atherosclerosis. Observational studies conducted worldwide have reported that periodontal disease may independently influence the progression of atherosclerotic disease. However, there is still insufficient evidence to demonstrate the causal relationship. This review describes the association between periodontal disease and arteriosclerosis-related diseases with the latest findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Mitochondria are strained by microbial stimuli in the periodontal niche. Damaged mitochondria are cleared by mitophagy. The purpose of the study was to explore whether mitophagy participated in the progress of periodontitis and whether activation of mitophagy can inhibit inflammatory responses to bacterial infection in macrophages. METHODS Mitophagy-related genes were measured in the healthy and inflamed human gingiva. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were infected with Porphyromonas gingivalis. Dexmedetomidine, urolithin A, and resveratrol were used to activate mitophagy, while small interference RNA was utilized to knock down PTEN-induced putative protein kinase 1 (PINK1). Activation of mitophagy-related genes and colocalization of them were detected by Western blot and confocal imaging. Damages of mitochondria, accumulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), and production of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were measured. RESULTS Levels of mitophagy-related genes were decreased in inflamed periodontal tissues and P. gingivalis-infected BMDMs. Dexmedetomidine, urolithin A, and resveratrol activated mitophagy, leading to reduced mitochondria damages, decreased mtROS generation, and inhibited IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α production. PINK1 knockdown reduced dexmedetomidine, urolithin A, and resveratrol-induced anti-inflammatory effect. CONCLUSION Inhibited mitophagy participated in the progress of periodontitis. Activation of mitophagy may become a therapeutic target during the progress of periodontitis by reducing mtROS.

Abstract
Oral inflammatory diseases (OIDs) include many common diseases such as periodontitis and pulpitis. The causes of OIDs consist microorganism, trauma, occlusal factors, autoimmune dis-eases and radiation therapy. When treated unproperly, such diseases not only affect oral health but also pose threat to people's overall health condition. Therefore, identifying OIDs at an early stage and exploring new therapeutic strategies are important tasks for oral-related research. Mitochondria are crucial organelles for many cellular activities and disruptions of mitochondrial function not only affect cellular metabolism but also indirectly influence people's health and life span. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in many common polygenic diseases, including cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, increasing evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a critical role in the development and progression of OIDs and its associated systemic diseases. In this review, we elucidated the critical insights into mitochondrial dysfunction and its involvement in the inflammatory responses in OIDs. We also summarized recent research progresses on the treatment of OIDs targeting mitochondrial dysfunction and discussed the underlying mechanisms.

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor exacerbates asthmatic airway remodeling via dynamin-related protein 1-mediated autophagy activation. Respir Res 2023; 24:216. [PMID: 37674165 PMCID: PMC10481618 DOI: 10.1186/s12931-023-02526-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1)-dependent aberrant mitochondrial fission are closely linked to the pathogenesis of asthma. However, it is unclear whether Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission and its downstream targets mediate MIF-induced proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) in vitro and airway remodeling in chronic asthma models. The present study aims to clarify these issues. METHODS In this study, primary cultured ASMCs and ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthmatic rats were applied. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 and EdU assays. Western blotting was used to detect extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, Drp1, autophagy-related markers and E-cadherin protein phosphorylation and expression. Inflammatory cytokines production, airway reactivity test, histological staining and immunohistochemical staining were conducted to evaluate the development of asthma. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the mitochondrial ultrastructure. RESULTS In primary cultured ASMCs, MIF increased the phosphorylation level of Drp1 at the Ser616 site through activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway, which further activated autophagy and reduced E-cadherin expression, ultimately leading to ASMCs proliferation. In OVA-induced asthmatic rats, MIF inhibitor 4-iodo-6-phenylpyrimidine (4-IPP) treatment, suppression of mitochondrial fission by Mdivi-1 or inhibiting autophagy with chloroquine phosphate (CQ) all attenuated the development of airway remodeling. CONCLUSIONS The present study provides novel insights that MIF promotes airway remodeling in asthma by activating autophagy and degradation of E-cadherin via ERK/Drp1 signaling pathway, suggesting that targeting MIF/ERK/Drp1 might have potential therapeutic value for the prevention and treatment of asthma.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is an inflammatory vascular disease that constitutes a major underlying cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and stroke. Infection is a contributing risk factor for AS. Epidemiological evidence has implicated individuals afflicted by periodontitis displaying an increased susceptibility to AS and CVD. This review concisely outlines several prevalent periodontal pathogens identified within atherosclerotic plaques, including Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, and Fusobacterium nucleatum. We review the existing epidemiological evidence elucidating the association between these pathogens and AS-related diseases, and the diverse mechanisms for which these pathogens may engage in AS, such as endothelial barrier disruption, immune system activation, facilitation of monocyte adhesion and aggregation, and promotion of foam cell formation, all of which contribute to the progression and destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. Notably, the intricate interplay among bacteria underscores the complex impact of periodontitis on AS. In conclusion, advancing our understanding of the relationship between periodontal pathogens and AS will undoubtedly offer invaluable insights and potential therapeutic avenues for the prevention and management of AS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation and immune dysfunction with classically activated macrophages(M1) infiltration are important mechanisms in the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). Dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1)-dependent mitochondrial fission is a novel target for alleviating inflammatory diseases. This study aimed to investigate the effects of DRP1 inhibitor Mdivi-1 on AS. METHODS ApoE-/- mice were fed with a high-fat diet supplemented with or without Mdivi-1. RAW264.7 cells were stimulated by ox-LDL, pretreated with or without MCC950, Mito-TEMPO, or Mdivi-1. The burden of plaques and foam cell formation were determined using ORO staining. The blood lipid profles and inflammatory cytokines in serum were detected by commercial kits and ELISA, respectively. The mRNA expression of macrophage polarization markers, activation of NLRP3 and the phosphorylation state of DRP1 were detected. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mito-ROS), mitochondrial staining, ATP level and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected by mito-SOX, MitoTracker, ATP determination kit and JC-1 staining, respectively. RESULTS In vivo, Mdivi-1 reduced the plaque areas, M1 polarization, NLRP3 activation and DRP1 phosphorylation at Ser616. In vitro, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) triggered M1 polarization, NLRP3 activation and abnormal accumulation of mito-ROS. MCC950 and Mito-TEMPO suppressed M1 polarization mediated foam cell formation. Mito-TEMPO significantly inhibited NLRP3 activation. In addition, Mdivi-1 reduced foam cells by inhibiting M1 polarization. The possible mechanisms responsible for the anti-atherosclerotic effects of Mdivi-1 on reducing M1 polarization were associated with suppressing mito-ROS/NLRP3 pathway by inhibiting DRP1 mediated mitochondrial fission. In vitro, similar results were observed by DRP1 knockdown. CONCLUSION Inhibition of DRP1-dependent mitochondrial fission by Mdivi-1 alleviated atherogenesis via suppressing mito-ROS/NLRP3-mediated M1 polarization, indicating DRP1-dependent mitochondrial fission as a potential therapeutic target for AS.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial cells (VECs) injury is the first step in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS). Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a significant role in VECs injury, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Here, the human umbilical vein endothelial cells were exposed to 100 μg/mL oxidized low-density lipoprotein for 24 h to establish AS model in vitro. We reported that mitochondrial dynamics disorder is a prominent feature of VECs in AS models and associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Moreover, the knockdown of dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) in AS model significantly alleviated the mitochondrial dynamics disorder and VECs injury. On the contrary, DRP1 overexpression significantly aggravated this injury. Interestingly, atorvastatin (ATV), a classical anti-atherosclerotic drug, prominently inhibited the expression of DRP1 in AS models and similarly alleviated the mitochondrial dynamics disorder and VECs injury in vitro and in vivo. At the same time, we found that ATV alleviated VECs damage but did not significantly reduce lipid concentration in vivo. Our findings provide a potential therapeutic target of AS and a new mechanism of the anti-atherosclerotic effect of ATV.

Int J Biol Sci 2023; 19:3077-3098. [PMID: 37416768 PMCID: PMC10321280 DOI: 10.7150/ijbs.83392] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Looking for early diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets is the key to ensuring prompt treatment of myocardial ischemia (MI). Here, a novel biomarker xanthurenic acid (XA) was identified based on metabolomics and exhibited high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of MI patients. Additionally, the elevation of XA was proved to induce myocardial injury in vivo by promoting myocardial apoptosis and ferroptosis. Combining metabolomics and transcriptional data further revealed that kynurenine 3-monooxygenase (KMO) profoundly increased in MI mice, and was closely associated with the elevation of XA. More importantly, pharmacological or heart-specific inhibition of KMO obviously suppressed the elevation of XA and profoundly ameliorated the OGD-induced cardiomyocytes injury and the ligation-induced MI injury. Mechanistically, KMO inhibition effectively restrained myocardial apoptosis and ferroptosis by modulating mitochondrial fission and fusion. In addition, virtual screening and experimental validation were adopted to identify ginsenoside Rb3 as a novel inhibitor of KMO and exhibited great cardioprotective effects by regulating mitochondrial dynamical balance. Taken together, targeting KMO may provide a new approach for the clinical treatment of MI through maintaining mitochondrial fusion and fission balance, and ginsenoside Rb3 showed great potential to be developed as a novel therapeutic drug targeting KMO.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including myocardial infarction and stroke, are currently the leading cause of morbidity, disability and mortality worldwide. Recently, researchers have focused their attention on the alterations of the gut and oral microbiota, investigating the possible role of their dysbiosis in the pathogenesis and/or progression of CVD. In this regard, it has been shown that endothelial dysfunction, a major feature of CVD, can also be induced by chronic periodontal infection, due to a systemic pro-inflammatory condition, as suggested by increased plasma levels of acute phase proteins, IL-6 and fibrinogen. Moreover, proatherogenic dysfunctions can also be promoted by direct bacterial invasion of the endothelium. This review reports the current evidence about the possible role of oral microbiota dysbiosis and the related immunoinflammatory components in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and associated CVD. It is concluded that integration of oral microbiota sampling into clinical practice may result in a more accurate assessment of CV risk in patients and even modify their prognosis.

Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis, a major periodontal pathogen, invades autophagosomes of cells, including gingival epithelial cells, endothelial cells, gingival fibroblasts, macrophages, and dendritic cells, to escape antimicrobial autophagy and lysosome fusion. However, it is not known how P. gingivalis resists autophagic immunity, survives within cells, and induces inflammation. Thus, we investigated whether P. gingivalis could escape antimicrobial autophagy by promoting lysosome efflux to block autophagic maturation, leading to intracellular survival, and whether the growth of P. gingivalis within cells results in cellular oxidative stress, causing mitochondrial damage and inflammatory responses. P. gingivalis invaded human immortalized oral epithelial cells in vitro and mouse oral epithelial cells of gingival tissues in vivo. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased upon bacterial invasion, as well as mitochondrial dysfunction-related parameters with downregulated mitochondrial membrane potential and intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP), upregulated mitochondrial membrane permeability, intracellular Ca2+ influx, mitochondrial DNA expression, and extracellular ATP. Lysosome excretion was elevated, the number of intracellular lysosomes was diminished, and lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 was downregulated. Expression of autophagy-related proteins, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3, sequestosome-1, the NLRP3 inflammasome, and interleukin-1β increased with P. gingivalis infection. P. gingivalis may survive in vivo by promoting lysosome efflux, blocking autophagosome-lysosome fusion, and destroying autophagic flux. As a result, ROS and damaged mitochondria accumulated and activated the NLRP3 inflammasome, which recruited the adaptor protein ASC and caspase 1, leading to the production of proinflammatory factor interleukin-1β and inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Periodontitis is an immunoinflammatory disease characterized by irreversible periodontal attachment loss and bone destruction. Ferroptosis is a kind of immunogenic cell death that depends on the participation of iron ions and is involved in various inflammatory and immune processes. However, information regarding the relationship between ferroptosis and immunomodulation processes in periodontitis is extremely limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between ferroptosis and immune responses in periodontitis. METHODS Gene expression profiles of gingivae were collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus data portal. After detecting differentially expressed ferroptosis-related genes (FRGs), we used univariate logistic regression analysis followed by logistic least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression to establish a ferroptosis-related classification model in an attempt to accurately distinguish periodontitis gingival tissues from healthy samples. The infiltration level of immunocytes in periodontitis was then assessed through single-sample gene-set enrichment analysis. Subsequently, we screened out immune-related genes by weighted correlation network analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis and constructed an immune-related network based on FRGs and immune-related genes. RESULTS A total of 24 differentially expressed FRGs were detected, and an 8-FRG combined signature constituted the classification model. The established model showed outstanding discriminating ability according to the results of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. In addition, the periodontitis samples had a higher degree of immunocyte infiltration. Activated B cells had the strongest positive correlation while macrophages had a strong negative correlation with certain FRGs, and we found that XBP1, ALOX5 and their interacting genes might be crucial genes in the immune-related network. CONCLUSIONS The FRG-based classification model had a satisfactory determination ability, which could bring new insights into the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Those genes in the immune-related network, especially hub genes along with XBP1 and ALOX5, would have the potential to serve as promising targets of immunomodulatory treatments for periodontitis.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease, involving a pathological process of endothelial dysfunction, lipid deposition, plaque rupture, and arterial occlusion, and is one of the leading causes of death in the world population. The progression of AS is closely associated with several inflammatory diseases, among which periodontitis has been shown to increase the risk of AS. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), presenting in large numbers in subgingival plaque biofilms, is the “dominant flora” in periodontitis, and its multiple virulence factors are important in stimulating host immunity. Therefore, it is significant to elucidate the potential mechanism and association between P. gingivalis and AS to prevent and treat AS. By summarizing the existing studies, we found that P. gingivalis promotes the progression of AS through multiple immune pathways. P. gingivalis can escape host immune clearance and, in various forms, circulate with blood and lymph and colonize arterial vessel walls, directly inducing local inflammation in blood vessels. It also induces the production of systemic inflammatory mediators and autoimmune antibodies, disrupts the serum lipid profile, and thus promotes the progression of AS. In this paper, we summarize the recent evidence (including clinical studies and animal studies) on the correlation between P. gingivalis and AS, and describe the specific immune mechanisms by which P. gingivalis promotes AS progression from three aspects (immune escape, blood circulation, and lymphatic circulation), providing new insights into the prevention and treatment of AS by suppressing periodontal pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
The outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) produced by Porphyromonas gingivalis contain a variety of bioactive molecules that may be involved in the progression of periodontitis. However, the participation of P. gingivalis OMVs in the development of periodontitis has not been elucidated. Here, we isolated P. gingivalis OMVs and confirmed their participation in periodontitis both in vivo and in vitro. Microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis showed that under stimulation with P. gingivalis OMVs, the alveolar bone of rats was significantly resorbed in vivo. We found that P. gingivalis OMVs were taken up by human periodontal ligament cells ([hPDLCs]) in vitro, which subsequently resulted in apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine release, which was accomplished by the microRNA-size small RNA (msRNA) sRNA45033 in the P. gingivalis OMVs. Through bioinformatics analysis and screening of target genes, chromobox 5 (CBX5) was identified as the downstream target of screened-out sRNA45033. Using a dual-luciferase reporter assay, overexpression, and knockdown methods, sRNA45033 was confirmed to target CBX5 to regulate hPDLC apoptosis. In addition, CUT&Tag (cleavage under targets and tagmentation) analysis confirmed the mechanism that CBX5 regulates apoptosis through the methylation of p53 DNA. Collectively, these findings indicate that the role of P. gingivalis OMVs is immunologically relevant and related to bacterial virulence during the development of periodontitis. IMPORTANCE P. gingivalis is a bacterium often associated with periodontitis. This study demonstrates that (i) sRNA45033 in P. gingivalis OMVs targets CBX5, (ii) CBX5 regulates the methylation of p53 DNA and its expression, which is associated with apoptosis, and (iii) a novel mechanism of interaction between hosts and pathogens is mediated by OMVs in the occurrence of periodontitis.

P. gingivalis-LPS Induces Mitochondrial Dysfunction Mediated by Neuroinflammation through Oxidative Stress. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24020950.

Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis), a key pathogen in periodontitis, is associated with neuroinflammation. Periodontal disease increases with age; 70.1% of adults 65 years and older have periodontal problems. However, the P. gingivalis- lipopolysaccharide (LPS)induced mitochondrial dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases remains elusive. In this study, we investigated the possible role of P. gingivalis-LPS in mitochondrial dysfunction during neurodegeneration. We found that P. gingivalis-LPS treatment activated toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 signaling and upregulated the expression of Alzheimer's disease-related dementia and neuroinflammatory markers. Furthermore, the LPS treatment significantly exacerbated the production of reactive oxygen species and reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential. Our study highlighted the pivotal role of P. gingivalis-LPS in the repression of serum response factor (SRF) and its co-factor p49/STRAP that regulate the actin cytoskeleton. The LPS treatment repressed the genes involved in mitochondrial function and biogenesis. P. gingivalis-LPS negatively altered oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis and reduced total adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Additionally, it specifically altered the mitochondrial functions in complexes I, II, and IV of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Thus, it is conceivable that P. gingivalis-LPS causes mitochondrial dysfunction through oxidative stress and inflammatory events in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Background: Periodontal disease, an oral disease that initiates with plaque biofilm infection, affects 10% of the global population. Due to the complexity of tooth root anatomy, biofilm resistance and antibiotic resistance, traditional mechanical debridement and antibiotic removal of biofilms are not ideal. Nitric oxide (NO) gas therapy and its multifunctional therapy are effective methods to clear biofilms. However, large and controlled delivery of NO gas molecules is currently a great challenge. Methods: The core-shell structure of Ag2S@ZIF-90/Arg/ICG was developed and characterized in detail. The ability of Ag2S@ZIF-90/Arg/ICG to produce heat, ROS and NO under 808 nm NIR excitation was detected by an infrared thermal camera, probes and Griess assay. In vitro anti-biofilm effects were evaluated by CFU, Dead/Live staining and MTT assays. Hematoxylin-eosin staining, Masson staining and immunofluorescence staining were used to analyze the therapeutic effects in vivo. Results: Antibacterial photothermal therapy (aPTT) and antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) could be excited by 808 nm NIR light, and the produced heat and ROS further triggered the release of NO gas molecules simultaneously. The antibiofilm effect had a 4-log reduction in vitro. The produced NO caused biofilm dispersion through the degradation of the c-di-AMP pathway and improved biofilm eradication performance. In addition, Ag2S@ZIF-90/Arg/ICG had the best therapeutic effect on periodontitis and NIR II imaging ability in vivo. Conclusions: We successfully prepared a novel nanocomposite with NO synergistic aPTT and aPDT. It had an outstanding therapeutic effect in treating deep tissue biofilm infection. This study not only enriches the research on compound therapy with NO gas therapy but also provides a new solution for other biofilm infection diseases.

Abstract
As one of the most diverse microbial communities within the human body, the oral microbiome is an important component that contributes to the maintenance of human health. The microbial composition of different sites in the oral cavity varies significantly and a dynamic equilibrium is maintained through communications with the environment and oral and distal organs of the host. It has been reported that there is significant correlation between dysbiotic oral microbiome and the occurrence or progression of a variety of systemic diseases. In this review, we summarized recent advances in research on the relationship between oral microbiome and systemic health, focusing on the interaction and pathological mechanisms between oral microbiome and systemic health and hoping to provide new avenues for the early prevention and clinical diagnosis and treatment of systemic diseases.

Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis ( P. gingivalis) is a common periodontal pathogen. Recently, there has been increasing evidence suggesting that P. gingivalis is not only a common pathogen in the oral cavity, but is also closely associated with non-oral diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, premature birth and non-alcoholic hepatitis, etc. Herein, we reviewed the developments in recent years in research on the relationship between P. gingivalis, a periodontal pathogen, and non-oral diseases, which will help determine whether P. gingivalis could be used as an auxiliary diagnostic biomarker or a potential therapeutic target for these non-oral diseases, thus contributing to the development of treatment strategies for the relevant diseases.

Abstract
Objective To identify the genetic linkage mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease (PD) and periodontitis, and explore the role of immunology in the crosstalk between both these diseases. Methods The gene expression omnibus (GEO) datasets associated with whole blood tissue of PD patients and gingival tissue of periodontitis patients were obtained. Then, differential expression analysis was performed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) deregulated in both diseases, which were defined as crosstalk genes. Inflammatory response-related genes (IRRGs) were downloaded from the MSigDB database and used for dividing case samples of both diseases into different clusters using k-means cluster analysis. Feature selection was performed using the LASSO model. Thus, the hub crosstalk genes were identified. Next, the crosstalk IRRGs were selected and Pearson correlation coefficient analysis was applied to investigate the correlation between hub crosstalk genes and hub IRRGs. Additionally, immune infiltration analysis was performed to examine the enrichment of immune cells in both diseases. The correlation between hub crosstalk genes and highly enriched immune cells was also investigated. Results Overall, 37 crosstalk genes were found to be overlapping between the PD-associated DEGs and periodontitis-associated DEGs. Using clustering analysis, the most optimal clustering effects were obtained for periodontitis and PD when k = 2 and k = 3, respectively. Using the LASSO feature selection, five hub crosstalk genes, namely, FMNL1, MANSC1, PLAUR, RNASE6, and TCIRG1, were identified. In periodontitis, MANSC1 was negatively correlated and the other four hub crosstalk genes (FMNL1, PLAUR, RNASE6, and TCIRG1) were positively correlated with five hub IRRGs, namely, AQP9, C5AR1, CD14, CSF3R, and PLAUR. In PD, all five hub crosstalk genes were positively correlated with all five hub IRRGs. Additionally, RNASE6 was highly correlated with myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in periodontitis, and MANSC1 was highly correlated with plasmacytoid dendritic cells in PD. Conclusion Five genes (i.e., FMNL1, MANSC1, PLAUR, RNASE6, and TCIRG1) were identified as crosstalk biomarkers linking PD and periodontitis. The significant correlation between these crosstalk genes and immune cells strongly suggests the involvement of immunology in linking both diseases.

Abstract
Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leads to oxidative stress in host cells and affects the progress of disease. Mitochondria are an important source of ROS and their dysfunction is closely related to ROS production. S. uberis is a common causative agent of mastitis. The expression of key enzymes of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway is increased in mammary epithelial cells after S. uberis stimulation, while expression of proteins related to mitochondrial function is decreased. Drp1, a key protein associated with mitochondrial function, is activated upon infection. Accompanied by mitochondria-cytosol translocation of Drp1, Fis1 expression is significantly upregulated while Mfn1 expression is downregulated implying that the balance of mitochondrial dynamics is disrupted. This leads to mitochondrial fragmentation, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential, higher levels of mROS and oxidative injury. The AMPK activator AICAR inhibits the increased phosphorylation of Drp1 and the translocation of Drp1 to mitochondria by salvaging mitochondrial function in an AMPK/Drp1 dependent manner, which has a similar effect to Drp1 inhibitor Mdivi-1. These data show that AMPK, as an upstream negative regulator of Drp1, ameliorates mitochondrial dysfunction induced by S. uberis infection.

Abstract
Mitochondria have many forms and can change their shape through fusion and fission of the outer and inner membranes, called "mitochondrial dynamics". Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins, such as mitochondrial fission protein 1 (FIS1), mitochondrial fission factor (MFF), mitochondrial 98 dynamics proteins of 49 kDa (MiD49), and mitochondrial dynamics proteins of 51 kDa (MiD51), can aggregate at the outer mitochondrial membrane and thus attract Dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) from the cytoplasm to the outer mitochondrial membrane, where DRP1 can perform a scissor-like function to cut a complete mitochondrion into two separate mitochondria. Other organelles can promote mitochondrial fission alongside mitochondria. FIS1 plays an important role in mitochondrial-lysosomal contacts, differentiating itself from other mitochondrial-fission-associated proteins. The contact between the two can also induce asymmetric mitochondrial fission. The kidney is a mitochondria-rich organ, requiring large amounts of mitochondria to produce energy for blood circulation and waste elimination. Pathological increases in mitochondrial fission can lead to kidney damage that can be ameliorated by suppressing their excessive fission. This article reviews the current knowledge on the key role of mitochondrial-fission-associated proteins in the pathogenesis of kidney injury and the role of their various post-translational modifications in activation or degradation of fission-associated proteins and targeted drug therapy.

Abstract
The spread of pathogenic bacteria in coastal waters endangers the health of the local people and jeopardizes the safety of the marine environment. However, their dynamics during seasonal hypoxia in the Bohai Sea (BHS) have not been studied. Here, pathogenic bacteria were detected from the 16S rRNA gene sequencing database and were used to explore their dynamics and driving factors with the progressively deoxygenating in the BHS. Our results showed that pathogenic bacteria were detected in all samples, accounting for 0.13 to 24.65% of the total number of prokaryotic sequences in each sample. Pathogenic Proteobacteria was dominated in all samples, followed by Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Tenericutes, and Bacteroidetes, etc. β-diversity analysis showed that pathogenic bacteria are highly temporally heterogeneous and regulated by environmental factors. According to RDA analysis, these variations may be influenced by salinity, ammonia, DO, phosphate, silicate, and Chl a. Additionally, pathogenic bacteria in surface water and hypoxia zone were found to be significantly separated in August. The vertical distribution of pathogenic bacterial communities is influenced by several variables, including DO and nutrition. It is noteworthy that the hypoxia zones increase the abundance of certain pathogenic genera, especially Vibrio and Arcobacter, and the stability of the pathogenic bacterial community increased from May to August. These phenomena indicate that the central Bohai Sea is threatened by an increasingly serious pathogenic community from May to August. And the developing hypoxia zone in the future may intensify this phenomenon and pose a more serious threat to human health. This study provides new insight into the changes of pathogenic bacteria in aquatic ecosystems and may help to make effective policies to control the spread of pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Periodontitis is closely associated with kidney disease and reactive oxygen species (ROS) involvement. Mitochondria are the primary source of both endogenous ROS and renal energy. We investigated whether resveratrol (RSV) prevents renal injury and mitochondrial dysfunction in periodontitis rats. METHODS Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into control, experimental periodontitis (Ep), and Ep-RSV groups. To induce periodontitis, a steel ligature was placed on the cervix of the bilateral first maxillary molars. RSV (50 mg/kg/d) to the Ep-RSV group and vehicle to the Ep and control groups were gavaged. After 8 weeks, alveolar bone loss, pocket depth, gingival blood index, and tooth mobility were assessed. Oxidative stress parameters, mitochondrial structure, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), mitochondrial ROS, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) were analysed in renal. Renal function and histology were also evaluated. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the Ep group showed renal structural destruction, elevated oxidative stress levels, mitochondrial structure destruction, MMP loss, mitochondrial ROS accumulation, ATP reduction, and decreased SIRT1 and PGC-1α levels. RSV prevented these destruction (p < .05). However, there was no significant impairment in renal function (p > .05). CONCLUSIONS Periodontitis induced mitochondrial dysfunction in renal tissues. Resveratrol exerts a preventive effect on periodontitis-induced kidney injury by preventing mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and periodontal disease (PD) are global health problems. High frequency of ASCVD is associated with the spread of many risk factors, including poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, smoking, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, hypertension, hyperhomocysteinemia, hyperuricemia, excessive stress, virus infection, genetic predisposition, etc. The pathogenesis of ASCVD is complex, while inflammation plays an important role. PD is a chronic, multifactorial inflammatory disease caused by dysbiosis of the oral microbiota, causing the progressive destruction of the bone and periodontal tissues surrounding the teeth. The main etiological factor of PD is the bacteria, which are capable of activating the immune response of the host inducing an inflammatory response. PD is associated with a mixed microbiota, with the evident predominance of anaerobic bacteria and microaerophilic. The "red complex" is an aggregate of three oral bacteria: Tannerella forsythia Treponema denticola and Porphyromonas gingivalis responsible for severe clinical manifestation of PD. ASCVD and PD share a number of risk factors, and it is difficult to establish a causal relationship between these diseases. The influence of PD on ASCVD should be treated as a factor increasing the risk of atherosclerotic plaque destabilization and cardiovascular events. The results of observational studies indicate that PD significantly increases the risk of ASCVD. In interventional studies, PD treatment was found to have a beneficial effect in the prevention and control of ASCVD. This comprehensive review summarizes the current knowledge of the relationship between PD and ASCVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis of patients with end-stage renal disease. However, there is a high incidence of AVF failures caused by insufficient outward remodeling or venous neo-intimal hyperplasia formation. Abnormal proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play an important role in many cardiovascular diseases. Abnormal VSMC proliferation and migration could be abolished by inhibition of mitochondrial division. METHOD We found that abnormal proliferation and migration of VSMCs and increased mitochondrial fission were associated with AVF stenosis in patients. We also investigated the mechanisms, particularly the role of mitochondrial dynamics, underlying these VSMC behaviors. In vitro, we observed that inhibition of mitochondrial fission and Akt phosphorylation can diminish proliferation and migration of VSMCs induced by platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB). In vivo, daily intraperitoneal injections of mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1) decreased VSMC proliferation and reduced AVF wall thickness in a rat AVF model. CONCLUSION AND RESULT Our results suggest that inhibition of mitochondrial fission improves AVF patency by reducing wall thickening through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Therefore, inhibition of mitochondrial fission has the clinical potential to improve AVF patency.
