Chronic mitochondrial dynamic-targeted therapy alleviates left ventricular dysfunction by reducing multiple programmed cell death in post-myocardial infarction rats. Eur J Pharmacol 2024; 977:176736. [PMID: 38878877 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2024.176736] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/09/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and the activation of multiple programmed cell death (PCD) have been shown to aggravate the severity and mortality associated with the progression of myocardial infarction (MI). Although pharmacological modulation of mitochondrial dynamics, including treatment with the fusion promoter (M1) and the fission inhibitor (Mdivi-1), exerted cardioprotection against several cardiac complications, their roles in the post-MI model have never been investigated. Using a MI rat model instigated by permanent left-anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery occlusion, post-MI rats were randomly assigned to receive one of 4 treatments (n = 10/group): vehicle (DMSO 3%V/V), enalapril (10 mg/kg), Mdivi-1 (1.2 mg/kg) and M1 (2 mg/kg), while a control group of sham operated rats underwent surgery without LAD occlusion (n = 10). After 32-day treatment, cardiac and mitochondrial function, and histopathological morphology were investigated and molecular analysis was performed. Treatment with enalapril, Mdivi-1, and M1 significantly mitigated cardiac pathological remodeling, reduced myocardial injury, and improved left ventricular (LV) function in post-MI rats. Importantly, all interventions also attenuated mitochondrial dynamic imbalance and mitigated activation of apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis after MI. This investigation demonstrated for the first time that chronic mitochondrial dynamic-targeted therapy mitigated mitochondrial dysfunction and activation of PCD, leading to improved LV function in post-MI rats.

Abstract
Mitochondria play a central role in cellular energy metabolism, and their dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a critical factor in the pathogenesis of diabetes-related cardiac pathophysiology, including vulnerability to ischemic events that culminate in myocardial infarction on the one hand and ventricular arrhythmias on the other. In diabetes, hyperglycemia and altered metabolic substrates lead to excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by mitochondria, initiating a cascade of oxidative stress that damages mitochondrial DNA, proteins, and lipids. This mitochondrial injury compromises the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation, leading to impaired ATP production. The resulting energy deficit and oxidative damage contribute to functional abnormalities in cardiac cells, placing the heart at an increased risk of electromechanical dysfunction and irreversible cell death in response to ischemic insults. While cardiac mitochondria are often considered to be relatively autonomous entities in their capacity to produce energy and ROS, their highly dynamic nature within an elaborate network of closely-coupled organelles that occupies 30-40% of the cardiomyocyte volume is fundamental to their ability to exert intricate regulation over global cardiac function. In this article, we review evidence linking the dynamic properties of the mitochondrial network to overall cardiac function and its response to injury. We then highlight select studies linking mitochondrial ultrastructural alterations driven by changes in mitochondrial fission, fusion and mitophagy in promoting cardiac ischemic injury to the diabetic heart.

Abstract
Mitochondria, the most crucial energy-generating organelles in eukaryotic cells, play a pivotal role in regulating energy metabolism. However, their significance extends beyond this, as they are also indispensable in vital life processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, immune responses, and redox balance. In response to various physiological signals or external stimuli, a sophisticated mitochondrial quality control (MQC) mechanism has evolved, encompassing key processes like mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitophagy, which have garnered increasing attention from researchers to unveil their specific molecular mechanisms. In this review, we present a comprehensive summary of the primary mechanisms and functions of key regulators involved in major components of MQC. Furthermore, the critical physiological functions regulated by MQC and its diverse roles in the progression of various systemic diseases have been described in detail. We also discuss agonists or antagonists targeting MQC, aiming to explore potential therapeutic and research prospects by enhancing MQC to stabilize mitochondrial function.

Inhibitory effects of naringenin on estrogen deficiency-induced obesity via regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and AMPK activation associated with white adipose tissue browning. Life Sci 2024; 340:122453. [PMID: 38272439 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2024.122453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
AIMS Post-ovariectomy (OVX) changes in hormones induce obesity and white adipose tissue (WAT) inflammation. Increased energy expenditure via WAT browning is a novel therapeutic strategy for treating obesity. Naringenin (NAR) reduces inflammation and lipogenesis in obesity and attenuates estrogen deficiency-associated metabolic disorders; however, its role in WAT browning remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated NAR ability to inhibit estrogen deficiency-associated obesity in vivo using a rat model and in vitro using 3T3-L1 adipocytes. KEY FINDINGS NAR significantly decreased the body weight and WAT mass of rats. O2 consumption, CO2 production, and energy expenditure were significantly lower in the OVX group than in the sham group, but NAR treatment reversed these effects of OVX. NAR treatment markedly improved glucose intolerance and lipid profiles as well as leptin, adiponectin, and irisin levels. NAR upregulated markers of browning and mitochondrial biogenesis in inguinal WAT. Moreover, it enhanced markers of mitochondrial fusion and inhibited fission via activating the AMP-activated protein kinase pathway. Similar results were observed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Moreover, NAR-induced mitochondrial biogenesis and fusion were suppressed by dorsomorphin (an AMP-activated protein kinase inhibitor). SIGNIFICANCE NAR alleviates obesity and metabolic dysfunction through the induction of WAT browning achieved via the modulation of AMP-activated protein kinase-regulated mitochondrial dynamics in WATs. NAR supplementation may therefore represent a potential intervention for preventing postmenopausal adipose tissue dysregulation.

Abstract
Sepsis is an increasingly worldwide problem; it is currently regarded as a complex life-threatening dysfunction of one or more organs as a result of dysregulated host immune response to infections. The heart is one of the most affected organs, as roughly 10% to 70% of sepsis cases are estimated to turn into sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC). SIC can be defined as a reversible myocardial dysfunction characterized by dilated ventricles, impaired contractility, and decreased ejection fraction. Mitochondria play a critical role in the normal functioning of cardiac tissues as the heart is highly dependent on its production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), its damage during SIC includes morphology impairment, mitophagy, biogenesis disequilibrium, electron transport chain disturbance, molecular damage from the actions of pro-inflammatory cytokines and many other different impairments that are major contributing factors to the severity of SIC. Although mitochondria-targeted therapies usage is still inadequate in clinical settings, the preclinical study outcomes promise that the implementation of these therapies may effectively treat SIC. This review summarizes the different therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondria structure, quality, and quantity abnormalities for the treatment of SIC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously demonstrated that oxidative stress and brain mitochondrial dysfunction are key mediators of brain pathology during myocardial infarction (MI). OBJECTIVE To investigate the beneficial effects of mitochondrial dynamic modulators, including mitochondrial fission inhibitor (Mdivi-1) and mitochondrial fusion promotor (M1), on cognitive function and molecular signaling in the brain of MI rats in comparison with the effect of enalapril. METHODS Male rats were assigned to either sham or MI operation. In the MI group, rats with an ejection Fraction less than 50% were included, and then they received one of the following treatments for 5 weeks: vehicle, enalapril, Mdivi-1, or M1. Cognitive function was tested, and the brains were used for molecular study. RESULTS MI rats exhibited cardiac dysfunction with systemic oxidative stress. Cognitive impairment was found in MI rats, along with dendritic spine loss, blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, brain mitochondrial dysfunction, and decreased mitochondrial and increased glycolysis metabolism, without the alteration of APP, BACE-1, Tau and p-Tau proteins. Treatment with Mdivi-1, M1, and enalapril equally improved cognitive function in MI rats. All treatments decreased dendritic spine loss, brain mitochondrial oxidative stress, and restored mitochondrial metabolism. Brain mitochondrial fusion was recovered only in the Mdivi-1-treated group. CONCLUSION Mitochondrial dynamics modulators improved cognitive function in MI rats through a reduction of systemic oxidative stress and brain mitochondrial dysfunction and the enhancement of mitochondrial metabolism. In addition, this mitochondrial fission inhibitor increased mitochondrial fusion in MI rats.

Mitochondrial Fusion Promoter Given During Ischemia Has Greater Neuroprotective Efficacy Than When Given at Onset of Reperfusion in Rats with Cardiac Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury has been shown to impose deleterious effects not only on the heart but also on the brain. Our previous study demonstrated that pretreatment with a mitochondrial fusion promoter (M1) provided central neuroprotective effects following cardiac I/R injury. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of M1 given during the ischemic phase and M1 given at the beginning of reperfusion on brain pathologies following cardiac I/R. METHODS Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into either a sham operation (n = 6) or cardiac I/R injury (n = 18) group. Rats with cardiac I/R injury were then randomly divided into 3 subgroups: 1) Control, 2) M1 treatment during cardiac ischemia (2 mg/kg, intravenous (i.v.)), and 3) M1 treatment at the beginning of reperfusion (2 mg/kg, i.v.). After euthanasia, the brain of each rat was removed for further analysis. RESULTS Cardiac I/R injury caused brain mitochondrial dynamic imbalance, brain mitochondrial dysfunction, brain apoptosis, microglial dysmorphology, brain inflammation, tau hyperphosphorylation, and synaptic dysplasticity. M1 treatment at both time points effectively improved these parameters. M1 given during the ischemic phase had greater efficacy with regard to preventing brain mitochondrial dysfunction and suppressing brain inflammation, when compared to M1 given at the beginning of reperfusion. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that treatment with this mitochondrial fusion promoter prevents mitochondrial dynamic imbalance in the brain of rats with cardiac I/R injury, thereby attenuating brain pathologies. Interestingly, giving the mitochondrial fusion promoter during the ischemic phase exerted greater neuroprotection than if given at the beginning of reperfusion.

Abstract
There remains an unmet need to identify novel therapeutic strategies capable of protecting the myocardium against the detrimental effects of acute ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), to reduce myocardial infarct (MI) size and prevent the onset of heart failure (HF) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In this regard, perturbations in mitochondrial morphology with an imbalance in mitochondrial fusion and fission can disrupt mitochondrial metabolism, calcium homeostasis, and reactive oxygen species production, factors which are all known to be critical determinants of cardiomyocyte death following acute myocardial IRI. As such, therapeutic approaches directed at preserving the morphology and functionality of mitochondria may provide an important strategy for cardioprotection. In this article, we provide an overview of the alterations in mitochondrial morphology which occur in response to acute myocardial IRI, and highlight the emerging therapeutic strategies for targeting mitochondrial shape to preserve mitochondrial function which have the future therapeutic potential to improve health outcomes in patients presenting with AMI.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the primary causes of mortality worldwide. An optimal mitochondrial function is central to supplying tissues with high energy demand, such as the cardiovascular system. In addition to producing ATP as a power source, mitochondria are also heavily involved in adaptation to environmental stress and fine-tuning tissue functions. Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) through fission, fusion, mitophagy, and biogenesis ensures the clearance of dysfunctional mitochondria and preserves mitochondrial homeostasis in cardiovascular tissues. Furthermore, mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which trigger the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and regulate cell survival. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in multiple CVDs, including ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), atherosclerosis, heart failure, cardiac hypertrophy, hypertension, diabetic and genetic cardiomyopathies, and Kawasaki Disease (KD). Thus, MQC is pivotal in promoting cardiovascular health. Here, we outline the mechanisms of MQC and discuss the current literature on mitochondrial adaptation in CVDs.

Outcomes of hypothalamic oxytocin neuron-driven cardioprotection after acute myocardial infarction. Basic Res Cardiol 2023; 118:43.

Abstract
Altered autonomic balance is a hallmark of numerous cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction (MI). Although device-based vagal stimulation is cardioprotective during chronic disease, a non-invasive approach to selectively stimulate the cardiac parasympathetic system immediately after an infarction does not exist and is desperately needed. Cardiac vagal neurons (CVNs) in the brainstem receive powerful excitation from a population of neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus that co-release oxytocin (OXT) and glutamate to excite CVNs. We tested if chemogenetic activation of PVN-OXT neurons following MI would be cardioprotective. The PVN of neonatal rats was transfected with vectors to selectively express DREADDs within OXT neurons. At 6 weeks of age, an MI was induced and DREADDs were activated with clozapine-N-oxide. Seven days following MI, patch-clamp electrophysiology confirmed the augmented excitatory neurotransmission from PVN-OXT neurons to downstream nuclei critical for parasympathetic activity with treatment (43.7 ± 10 vs 86.9 ± 9 pA; MI vs. treatment), resulting in stark improvements in survival (85% vs. 95%; MI vs. treatment), inflammation, fibrosis assessed by trichrome blue staining, mitochondrial function assessed by Seahorse assays, and reduced incidence of arrhythmias (50% vs. 10% cumulative incidence of ventricular fibrillation; MI vs. treatment). Myocardial transcriptomic analysis provided molecular insight into potential cardioprotective mechanisms, which revealed the preservation of beneficial signaling pathways, including muscarinic receptor activation, in treated animals. These comprehensive results demonstrate that the PVN-OXT network could be a promising therapeutic target to quickly activate beneficial parasympathetic-mediated cellular pathways within the heart during the early stages of infarction.

Differential temporal therapies with pharmacologically targeted mitochondrial fission/fusion protect the brain against acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in prediabetic rats: The crosstalk between mitochondrial apoptosis and inflammation. Eur J Pharmacol 2023; 956:175939. [PMID: 37536625 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2023.175939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023]
Abstract
An imbalance of brain mitochondrial dynamics, increases in brain inflammation and apoptosis, and increasing cognitive dysfunction, have been reported as being associated with prediabetes and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Since inhibiting mitochondrial fission with Mdivi-1 or promoting fusion with M1 had cardioprotective effects in myocardial IR injury and obesity, the neuroprotective roles of Mdivi-1 and M1 when administered at different time points of myocardial IR injury in obese prediabetes have never been determined. Ninety-six male Wistar rats were fed with either a normal (ND: n = 8) or a high-fat diet to induce prediabetes (HFD: n = 88) for 12 weeks. At week 13, all rats were subjected to left anterior descending coronary artery ligation for 30 min, followed by reperfusion for 120 min. HFD rats were randomly divided into 10 groups and assigned into either a pre-ischemic group treated with vehicle (HFV), pre-ischemic, during-ischemic, or onset of reperfusion groups treated with either Mdivi-1 (MDV), M1, or combined (COM). Heart function was examined invasively, with the heart being terminated to investigate myocardial infarction. Brains were collected to determine mitochondrial functions, inflammation, apoptosis, and pathological markers. Mdivi-1, M1, and COM treatment at different periods exerted cardioprotection against myocardial IR injury in HFD-fed rats by reducing infarct size and left ventricular dysfunction. All interventions also improved all brain pathologies against myocardial IR injury in prediabetic rats. These findings suggest that differential temporal modulation of mitochondrial dynamics may be appropriate regimens for preventing heart and brain complications after myocardial IR injury in obese prediabetes.

Abstract
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 3 (SIRT3) signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in regulating mitochondrial dynamics and oxidative stress, which are considered to be the principal pathogenesis of myocardial infarction (MI). Our previous study proved that pretreatment with icariside II (ICS II), a major active ingredient of Herbal Epimedii, exerts cardioprotective effect on MI, however, whether post-treatment with ICS II can alleviate MI and its underlying mechanism are still uncertain. Therefore, the present study was designed to investigate the therapeutic effect and the possible mechanism of ICS II on MI both in vivo and in vitro. The results revealed that post-treatment with ICS II markedly ameliorated myocardial injury in MI-induced mice and mitigated oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD)-elicited cardiomyocyte injury. Further researches showed that ICS II promoted mitochondrial fusion, and suppressed mitochondrial fission and oxidative stress, which were achieved by facilitating the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and activation of SIRT3. In summary, our findings indicate that ICS II mitigates MI-induced mitochondrial dynamics disorder and oxidative stress via activating the Nrf2/SIRT3 signaling pathway.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by widespread pulmonary inflammation and immune response, in which proinflammatory polarization of alveolar macrophages (AMs) plays an important role. Mitochondria are the key intracellular signaling platforms regulating immune cell responses. Moreover, accumulating evidence suggests that the mitochondrial dynamics of macrophages are imbalanced in sepsis and severe ALI/ARDS. However, the functional significance of mitochondrial dynamics of AMs in septic ALI/ARDS remains largely unknown, and whether it regulates the polarized phenotype of AMs is also unclear. Here, we demonstrated that the mitochondrial dynamics of AMs are imbalanced, manifested by impaired mitochondrial fusion, increased fission and mitochondrial cristae remodeling, both in septic models and ARDS patients. However, suppressing excessive mitochondrial fission with Mdivi-1 or promoting mitochondrial fusion with PM1 to maintain mitochondrial dynamic equilibrium in AMs could inhibit the polarization of AMs into proinflammatory phenotype and attenuate sepsis-induced ALI. These data suggest that mitochondrial dynamic imbalance mediates altered polarization of AMs and exacerbates sepsis-induced ALI. This study provides new insights into the underlying mechanisms of sepsis-induced ALI, suggesting the possibility of identifying future drug targets from the perspective of mitochondrial dynamics in AMs.

Abstract
A large body of evidence indicates the existence of a complex pathophysiological relationship between cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Mitochondria are crucial organelles whose optimal activity is determined by quality control systems, which regulate critical cellular events, ranging from intermediary metabolism and calcium signaling to mitochondrial dynamics, cell death and mitophagy. Emerging data indicate that impaired mitochondrial quality control drives myocardial dysfunction occurring in several heart diseases, including cardiac hypertrophy, myocardial infarction, ischaemia/reperfusion damage and metabolic cardiomyopathies. On the other hand, diverse human cancers also dysregulate mitochondrial quality control to promote their initiation and progression, suggesting that modulating mitochondrial homeostasis may represent a promising therapeutic strategy both in cardiology and oncology. In this review, first we briefly introduce the physiological mechanisms underlying the mitochondrial quality control system, and then summarize the current understanding about the impact of dysregulated mitochondrial functions in cardiovascular diseases and cancer. We also discuss key mitochondrial mechanisms underlying the increased risk of cardiovascular complications secondary to the main current anticancer strategies, highlighting the potential of strategies aimed at alleviating mitochondrial impairment-related cardiac dysfunction and tumorigenesis. It is hoped that this summary can provide novel insights into precision medicine approaches to reduce cardiovascular and cancer morbidities and mortalities.

Abstract
Mitochondria are organelles that are able to adjust and respond to different stressors and metabolic needs within a cell, showcasing their plasticity and dynamic nature. These abilities allow them to effectively coordinate various cellular functions. Mitochondrial dynamics refers to the changing process of fission, fusion, mitophagy and transport, which is crucial for optimal function in signal transduction and metabolism. An imbalance in mitochondrial dynamics can disrupt mitochondrial function, leading to abnormal cellular fate, and a range of diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic diseases, cardiovascular diseases and cancers. Herein, we review the mechanism of mitochondrial dynamics, and its impacts on cellular function. We also delve into the changes that occur in mitochondrial dynamics during health and disease, and offer novel perspectives on how to target the modulation of mitochondrial dynamics.

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

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are considered to be two main drivers of diabetic myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (DM + MIRI). Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) play central roles in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and regulating oxidative stress, but the effects of the Nrf2-Drp1 pathway on DM-MIRI have not been reported. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of the Nrf2-Drp1 pathway in DM + MIRI rats. A rat model of DM + MIRI and H9c2 cardiomyocyte injury were constructed. The therapeutic effect of Nrf2 was assessed by detecting myocardial infarct size, mitochondrial structure, levels of myocardial injury markers and oxidative stress, apoptosis, and Drp1 expression. The results showed that DM + MIRI rats had increased myocardial infarct size and Drp1 expression in myocardial tissue, accompanied by increased mitochondrial fission and oxidative stress. Interestingly, Nrf2 agonist dimethyl fumarate (DMF) could significantly improve cardiac function, mitochondrial fission, and decrease oxidative stress levels and Drp1 expression after ischemia. However, these effects of DMF would be largely counteracted by the Nrf2 inhibitor ML385. Additionally, Nrf2 overexpression significantly suppressed Drp1 expression, apoptosis, and oxidative stress levels in H9c2 cells. Nrf2 attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in DM rats by reducing Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission and oxidative stress.

Liu X, Guo C, Zhang Q. Novel insights into the involvement of mitochondrial fission/fusion in heart failure: From molecular mechanisms to targeted therapies. Cell Stress Chaperones 2023; 28:133-144. [PMID: 36652120 PMCID: PMC10050249 DOI: 10.1007/s12192-023-01321-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that alter their morphology through fission (fragmentation) and fusion (elongation). These morphological changes correlate highly with mitochondrial functional adaptations to stressors, such as hypoxia, pressure overload, and inflammation, and are important in the setting of heart failure. Pathological mitochondrial remodeling, characterized by increased fission and reduced fusion, is associated with impaired mitochondrial respiration, increased mitochondrial oxidative stress, abnormal cytoplasmic calcium handling, and increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Considering the impact of the mitochondrial morphology on mitochondrial behavior and cardiomyocyte performance, altered mitochondrial dynamics could be expected to induce or exacerbate the pathogenesis and progression of heart failure. However, whether alterations in mitochondrial fission and fusion accelerate or retard the progression of heart failure has been the subject of intense debate. In this review, we first describe the physiological processes and regulatory mechanisms of mitochondrial fission and fusion. Then, we extensively discuss the pathological contributions of mitochondrial fission and fusion to heart failure. Lastly, we examine potential therapeutic approaches targeting mitochondrial fission/fusion to treat patients with heart failure.

Abstract
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a plasticizer that is easily found in the environment. Excessive daily exposure of it may lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lycopene (LYC), as a natural carotenoid, has been shown to have the potential to prevent CVD. However, the mechanism of LYC on cardiotoxicity caused by DEHP exposure is unknown. The research was aimed to investigate the chemoprotection of LYC on the cardiotoxicity caused by DEHP exposure. Mice were treated with DEHP (500 mg/kg or 1,000 mg/kg) and/or LYC (5 mg/kg) for 28 d by intragastric administration, and the heart was subjected to histopathology and biochemistry analysis. The results indicated that DEHP caused cardiac histological alterations and enhanced the activity of cardiac injury indicators, and interfered with mitochondrial function and activating mitophagy. Notably, LYC supplementation could inhibit DEHP-induced oxidative stress. The mitochondrial dysfunction and emotional disorder caused by DEHP exposure were significantly improved through the protective effect of LYC. We concluded that LYC enhances mitochondrial function by regulating mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics to antagonize DEHP-induced cardiac mitophagy and oxidative stress.

Abstract
The most common alterations affecting mitochondria, and associated with cardiac pathological conditions, implicate a long list of defects. They include impairments of the mitochondrial electron transport chain activity, which is a crucial element for energy formation, and that determines the depletion of ATP generation and supply to metabolic switches, enhanced ROS generation, inflammation, as well as the dysregulation of the intracellular calcium homeostasis. All these signatures significantly concur in the impairment of cardiac electrical characteristics, loss of myocyte contractility and cardiomyocyte damage found in cardiac diseases. Mitochondrial dynamics, one of the quality control mechanisms at the basis of mitochondrial fitness, also result in being dysregulated, but the use of this knowledge for translational and therapeutic purposes is still in its infancy. In this review we tried to understand why this is, by summarizing methods, current opinions and molecular details underlying mitochondrial dynamics in cardiac diseases.

Abstract
Mitochondria consist of the inner mitochondrial membrane and the outer mitochondrial membrane, which maintain mitochondrial homeostasis through continuous fission and fusion to ensure a healthy mitochondrial network and thus regulate normal cellular function, namely mitochondrial dynamics. The imbalance between mitochondrial fusion and fission results in abnormal mitochondrial structure and eventually mitochondrial dysfunction, which is involved in the pathological process of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) is a key protein that regulates mitochondrial inner membrane fusion and ensures normal mitochondrial function by balancing mitochondrial dynamics, participating in various processes such as mitochondrial fusion, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Ischemia-induced changes in mitochondrial dynamics may be a key factor in limiting the recanalization time window and exacerbating reperfusion injury, and the mechanisms of these changes deserve further attention. Therefore, targeting OPA1-related mitochondrial fusions, thereby balancing mitochondrial dynamics and improving mitochondrial dysfunction, is a promising therapeutic strategy for ischemia-reperfusion diseases. This review will elaborate on the structure and function of OPA1 and the role of OPA1 in IRI to provide promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is an increasing body of evidence to show that impairment in mitochondrial dynamics including excessive fission and insufficient fusion has been observed in the pre-diabetic condition. In pre-diabetic rats with cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, acute treatment with a mitochondria fission inhibitor (Mdivi-1) and a fusion promoter (M1) showed cardioprotection. However, the potential preventive effects of chronic Mdivi-1 and M1 treatment in a pre-diabetic model of cardiac I/R have never been elucidated. METHODS Male Wistar rats (n = 40) were fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks to induce prediabetes. Then, all pre-diabetic rats received the following treatments daily via intraperitoneal injection for 2 weeks: (1) HFDV (Vehicle, 0.1% DMSO); (2) HFMdivi1 (Mdivi-1 1.2 mg/kg); (3) HFM1 (M1 2 mg/kg); and (4) HFCom (Mdivi-1 + M1). At the end of treatment protocols, all rats underwent 30 min of coronary artery ligation followed by reperfusion for 120 min. RESULTS Chronic Mdivi-1, M1, and the combined treatment showed markedly improved cardiac mitochondrial function and dynamic control, leading to a decrease in cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial cell death, and infarct size (49%, 42%, and 51% reduction for HFMdivi1, HFM1, and HFCom, respectively vs HFDV). All of these treatments improved cardiac function following cardiac I/R injury in pre-diabetic rats. CONCLUSION Chronic inhibition of mitochondrial fission and promotion of fusion exerted cardioprevention in prediabetes with cardiac I/R injury through the relief of cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction and dynamic alterations, and reduction in myocardial infarction, thus improving cardiac function.

Abstract
The morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases are exceedingly high worldwide. Pathological heart remodeling, which is developed as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction, could ultimately drive heart failure. More recent research target exercise modulation of mitochondrial dysfunction to improve heart failure. Therefore, finding practical treatment goals and exercise programs to improve cardiovascular disease is instrumental. Better treatment options are available with the recent development of exercise and drug therapy. This paper summarizes pathological states of abnormal mitochondrial function and intervention strategies for exercise therapy.

Abstract
Melatonin (Mel) and metformin (Met) show beneficial effects in various brain pathologies. However, the effects of Mel and Met on doxorubicin (DOX)-induced chemobrain remain in need of elucidation. We aimed to investigate whether Mel and Met provide neuroprotective effects on glial dysmorphologies, brain inflammation, oxidative stress, brain mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, necroptosis, neurogenesis, hippocampal dysplasticity, and cognitive dysfunction in rats with DOX-induced chemobrain. Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups and received normal saline (NSS, as control, n = 8) or DOX (3 mg/kg/day; n = 24) by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection on days 0, 4, 8, 15, 22, and 29. The DOX-treated group was divided into 3 subgroups receiving either vehicle (NSS; n = 8), Mel (10 mg/kg/day; n = 8), or Met (250 mg/kg/day; n = 8) by gavage for 30 consecutive days. Following this, cognitive function was assessed in all rats. The number of glial cells and their fluorescence intensity had decreased, while the glial morphology in DOX-treated rats showed a lower process complexity. Brain mitochondrial dysfunction, an increase in brain inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis and necroptosis, a decrease in the number of hippocampal dendritic spines and neurogenesis, and cognitive decline were also observed in DOX-treated rats. Mel and Met equally improved those brain pathologies, resulting in cognitive improvement in DOX-treated rats. In conclusion, concomitant treatment with either Mel or Met counteract DOX-induced chemobrain by preservation of glial morphology, brain inflammation, brain oxidative stress, brain mitochondrial function, hippocampal plasticity, and brain apoptosis. This study highlighted the role of the glia as key mediators in DOX-induced chemobrain.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death worldwide and in particular, ischemic heart disease holds the most considerable position. Even if it has been deeply studied, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is still a side-effect of the clinical treatment for several heart diseases: ischemia process itself leads to temporary damage to heart tissue and obviously the recovery of blood flow is promptly required even if it worsens the ischemic injury. There is no doubt that mitochondria play a key role in pathogenesis of IRI: dysfunctions of these important organelles alter cell homeostasis and survival. It has been demonstrated that during IRI the system of mitochondrial quality control undergoes alterations with the disruption of the complex balance between the processes of mitochondrial fusion, fission, biogenesis and mitophagy. The fundamental role of mitochondria is carried out thanks to the finely regulated connection to other organelles such as plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum and nucleus, therefore impairments of these inter-organelle communications exacerbate IRI. This review pointed to enhance the importance of the mitochondrial network in the pathogenesis of IRI with the aim to focus on potential mitochondria-targeting therapies as new approach to control heart tissue damage after ischemia and reperfusion process.

Abstract
Despite considerable efforts to prevent and treat ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), effective therapies remain lacking, in part owing to the complexity of the underlying molecular mechanisms, which are not completely understood yet. It is now widely thought that mitochondria serve as “sentinel” organelles that are capable of detecting cellular injury and integrating multiple stress signals. These pathophysiological activities are temporally and spatially governed by the mitochondrial quality surveillance (MQS) system, involving mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy, and biogenesis. Dysregulation of MQS is an early and critical process contributing to mitochondrial bioenergetic dysfunction and sublethal injury to cardiomyocytes during ICM. An improved understanding of the pathogenesis of ICM may enable the development of novel preventive and therapeutic strategies aimed at overcoming the challenge of myocardial ischemia and its cardiovascular sequelae. This review describes recent research on the protective effects of MQS in ICM and highlights promising therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox), a powerful chemotherapeutic agent, has been shown to cause cardiotoxicity and neurotoxicity. Ranolazine, a drug that is commonly used to treat patients with chronic angina, has been shown to reduce toxicity from Dox therapy. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the mechanisms behind the protective effects of ranolazine on the heart and brain in Dox-treatment. Twenty-four male Wistar rats received 6 doses of either 0.9% normal saline (0.9% NSS, i.p., n = 8) or Dox (3 mg/kg, i.p., n = 16). All Dox-treated rats were assigned into 2 groups to receive vehicle (0.9% NSS, orally; n = 8) or ranolazine (305 mg/kg/day, orally; n = 8) for 30 consecutive days. Following the treatments, left ventricular (LV) function and cognition were determined. Animals were euthanized, then the heart and brain were collected for further analysis. Dox induced systemic oxidative stress/inflammation, and cardiac injury evidenced by mitochondrial dysfunction, mitochondrial dynamic imbalance, and apoptosis, resulting in LV dysfunction. Ranolazine significantly improved LV function via attenuating cardiac injury. Dox also caused brain pathologies as indicated by increased brain inflammation, impaired blood-brain barrier integrity, brain mitochondrial dysfunction, microglial dysmorphology, hippocampal dysplasticity, and increased apoptosis, resulting in cognitive decline. Ranolazine exerted neuroprotective effects by suppressing brain pathologies and restoring cognitive function. These findings suggest that ranolazine has a potential role in cardio- and neuro-protection against chemotherapy.

Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:862204.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a salient feature of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MIRI), while the potential mechanism of mitochondrial dynamics disorder remains unclear. This study sought to explore whether activation of Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) could alleviate MIRI by regulating GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1)-mediated mitochondrial dynamics. Isolated mouse hearts in a Langendorff perfusion system were subjected to ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) treatment, and H9C2 cells were subjected to hypoxia /reoxygenation (H/R) treatment in vitro. The results showed that AICAR, the AMPK activator, could significantly improve the function of left ventricular, decrease arrhythmia incidence and myocardial infarction area of isolated hearts. Meanwhile, AICAR increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) content in myocardial homogenate. Mechanistically, AICAR inhibited the phosphorylation of Drp1 at Ser 616 while enhanced phosphorylation of Drp1 at Ser 637. In addition, AICAR reduced the expression of inflammatory cytokines including TNF-ɑ, IL-6, and IL-1β, as well as mitochondrial fission genes Mff and Fis1, while improved the expression of mitochondrial fusion genes Mfn1 and Mfn2. Similar results were also observed in H9C2 cells. AICAR improved mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and inhibited mitochondrial damage. To further prove if Drp1 regulated mitochondrial dynamics mediated AMPK protection effect, the mitochondrial fission inhibitor Mdivi-1 was utilized. We found that Mdivi-1 significantly improved MMP, inhibited ROS production, reduced the expression of TNF-a, IL-6, IL-1β, Fis1, and Mff, and improved the expression of Mfn1 and Mfn2. However, the protection effect of Mdivi-1 was not reversed by AMPK inhibitor Compound C. In conclusion, this study confirmed that activation of AMPK exerted the protective effects on MIRI, which were largely dependent on the inhibition of Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission.

Abstract
Alterations in mitochondrial function and morphology are critical adaptations to cardiovascular stress, working in concert in an attempt to restore organelle-level and cellular-level homeostasis. Processes that alter mitochondrial morphology include fission, fusion, mitophagy, and biogenesis, and these interact to maintain mitochondrial quality control. Not all cardiovascular stress is pathologic (e.g., ischemia, pressure overload, cardiotoxins), despite a wealth of studies to this effect. Physiological stress, such as that induced by aerobic exercise, can induce morphologic adaptations that share many common pathways with pathological stress, but in this case result in improved mitochondrial health. Developing a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying alterations in mitochondrial quality control under diverse cardiovascular stressors will aid in the development of pharmacologic interventions aimed at restoring cellular homeostasis.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) refers to the further damage done to ischemic cardiomyocytes when restoring blood flow. A large body of evidence shows that MI/RI is closely associated with excessive production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial calcium overload, disordered mitochondrial energy metabolism, mitophagy, mitochondrial fission, and mitochondrial fusion. According to the way it affects mitochondria, it can be divided into mitochondrial quality abnormalities and mitochondrial quantity abnormalities. Abnormal mitochondrial quality refers to the dysfunction caused by the severe destruction of mitochondria, which then affects the balance of mitochondrial density and number, causing an abnormal mitochondrial quantity. In the past, most of the reports were limited to the study of the mechanism of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, some of which involved mitochondria, but no specific countermeasures were proposed. In this review, we outline the mechanisms for treating myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury from the direction of mitochondria and focus on targeted interventions and drugs to restore mitochondrial health during abnormal mitochondrial quality control and abnormal mitochondrial quantity control. This is an update in the field of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Purpose Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge. (Danshen, DS) and Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. (Chuanxiong, CX) have been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and treat myocardial ischemia and renal insufficiency, and their extracts (Guanxinning injection, GXN) have been reported to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-ischemia-reperfusion injury properties. It is well-established that ischemic postconditioning (IPOC) can protect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats with chronic renal failure (CRF). However, little is known on whether GXN combined with IPOC may affect myocardial I/R injury in CRF rats. We sought to observe the effect of GXN combined with IPOC on myocardial I/R injury in CRF rats by quantifying changes in the expression of proteins related to mitochondrial dynamics. Materials and Methods In a survey, 90 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (15 rats per group): CRF group, I/R group, comorbid group (CRF + I/R), IPOC group, IPOC + GXN group and the sham group. Changes in blood myocardial injury markers, urea, and creatinine were analyzed. Heart tissues were harvested for histomorphometry and western blotting when rats were sacrificed. Myocardial infarction area was measured by Evans blue and Triphenyltetrazolium chloride solution staining. The expressions of mitochondrial fission relative proteins (DRP1 and FIS1) and mitochondrial fusion relative proteins (OPA1 and MFN1) were detected by western blotting. Results IPOC could significantly decrease myocardial injury markers and myocardial area of necrosis (AN)/area at risk (AAR) of the comorbid model rats. Further results showed that GXN combined with IPOC could significantly reduce CK-MB levels and myocardial AN/AAR in comorbid model rats compared with the IPOC group. Meanwhile, both IPOC and IPOC + GXN significantly reduced DRP1 levels and increased the MFN1 and OPA1 protein levels in the comorbid model rats. However, compared with the IPOC group, MFN1 and OPA1 protein levels increased significantly in the IPOC + GXN group. Conclusion Extracts of DS and CX combined with IPOC exert a protective effect against myocardial I/R injury in rats with CRF, mediated by increased expression of mitochondrial fusion proteins (MFN1 and OPA1).

Promoting mitochondrial fusion in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity: a novel therapeutic target for cardioprotection. Clin Sci (Lond) 2022; 136:841-860. [PMID: 35543245 DOI: 10.1042/cs20220074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 05/06/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/06/2022]
Abstract
Changes in mitochondrial dynamics have been recognized as being one of the mechanisms related to cardiotoxicity following a high cumulative dose of doxorubicin (DOX). A mitochondrial division inhibitor (Mdivi-1) and fusion promoter (M1) have been shown to be cardioprotective in a variety of cardiovascular settings, however their anti-cardiotoxic efficacy against DOX therapy remains unclear. We therefore investigated whether treatment with Mdivi-1 and M1 protect the heart against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity via mitochondria-targeted pathways. Male Wistar rats (n=40) received DOX (3 mg/kg, 6 doses, n=32) or 3% DMSO in the normal saline solution (NSS) (n=8) as a control. DOX-injected rats were given one of four treatments beginning with the first DOX injection via intraperitoneal injection: 1) 3% DMSO in NSS (n=8), 2) Mdivi-1 (1.2 mg/kg/day, n=8), 3) M1 (2 mg/kg/day, n=8), and 4) Mdivi-1+M1 (n=8) for 30 days. Cardiac function, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, myocardial injury, and protein expression associated with inflammation, autophagy, mitophagy, apoptosis and mitochondrial dynamics were determined. DOX caused a significant deterioration in mitochondrial function and dynamic regulation, and an increase in markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, myocardial injury, apoptosis, autophagy, and mitophagy, resulting in impaired cardiac function. Co-treatment of DOX with Mdivi-1, M1, or a combination of the two mitigated these detrimental effects of DOX. These findings imply that either inhibiting fission or promoting fusion of mitochondria protects the heart from DOX-induced myocardial damage. Modulation of mitochondrial dynamics could be a novel therapeutic target in alleviating DOX-induced cytotoxic effects without compromising its anti-cancer efficacy.

Abstract
After acute myocardial infarction, early restoration of myocardial perfusion by thrombolysis or percutaneous coronary intervention is the most effective way to reduce the size of myocardial infarction and improve clinical outcomes. However, recovery of blood flow to the ischemic myocardium may cause ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, a phenomenon that instead reduces the efficacy of myocardial reperfusion. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has long been used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and has shown remarkable efficacy. Many studies have shown that some TCMs and their active components can exert protective effects against myocardial I/R injury through different mechanisms. This review summarized the protective mechanisms and current research advances of TCMs in myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in western countries. Among cardiovascular diseases, myocardial infarction represents a life-threatening condition predisposing to the development of heart failure. In recent decades, much effort has been invested in studying the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and post-ischemic cardiac remodeling. These mechanisms include metabolic alterations, ROS overproduction, inflammation, autophagy deregulation and mitochondrial dysfunction. This review article discusses the most recent evidence regarding the molecular basis of myocardial ischemic injury and the new potential therapeutic interventions for boosting cardioprotection and attenuating cardiac remodeling.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a major global healthcare problem accounting for substantial deterioration of prognosis. As a complex clinical syndrome, HF often coexists with multi-comorbidities of which cognitive impairment (CI) is particularly important. CI is increasing in prevalence among patients with HF and is present in around 40%, even up to 60%, of elderly patients with HF. As a potent and independent prognostic factor, CI significantly increases the hospitalization and mortality and decreases quality of life in patients with HF. There has been a growing awareness of the complex bidirectional interaction between HF and CI as it shares a number of common pathophysiological pathways including reduced cerebral blood flow, inflammation, and neurohumoral activations. Research that focus on the precise mechanism for CI in HF is still ever insufficient. As the tremendous adverse consequences of CI in HF, effective early diagnosis of CI in HF and interventions for these patients may halt disease progression and improve prognosis. The current clinical guidelines in HF have begun to emphasize the importance of CI. However, nearly half of CI in HF is underdiagnosed, and few recommendations are available to guide clinicians about how to approach CI in patients with HF. This review aims to synthesize knowledge about the link between HF and cognitive dysfunction, issues pertaining to screening, diagnosis and management of CI in patients with HF, and emerging therapies for prevention. Based on data from current studies, critical gaps in knowledge of CI in HF are identified, and future research directions to guide the field forward are proposed.

Abstract
Mitochondria are extraordinarily dynamic organelles that have a variety of morphologies, the status of which are controlled by the opposing processes of fission and fusion. Our recent study shows that inhibition of excessive mitochondrial fission by Drp1 inhibitor (Mdivi-1) leads to a reduction in infarct size and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction following cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in high fat-fed induced pre-diabetic rats. In the present study, we investigated the cardioprotective effects of a mitochondrial fusion promoter (M1) and a combined treatment (M1 and Mdivi-1) in pre-diabetic rats. Wistar rats were given a high-fat diet for 12 weeks to induce prediabetes. The rats then subjected to 30 min-coronary occlusions followed by reperfusion for 120 min. These rats were intravenously administered M1 (2 mg/kg) or M1 (2 mg/kg) combined with Mdivi-1 (1.2 mg/kg) prior to ischemia, during ischemia or at the onset of reperfusion. We showed that administration of M1 alone or in combination with Mdivi-1 prior to ischemia, during ischemia or at the onset of reperfusion all significantly attenuated cardiac mitochondrial ROS production, membrane depolarization, swelling and dynamic imbalance, leading to reduced arrhythmias and infarct size, resulting in improved LV function in pre-diabetic rats. In conclusion, the promotion of mitochondrial fusion at any time-points during cardiac I/R injury attenuated cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction and dynamic imbalance, leading to decreased infarct size and improved LV function in pre-diabetic rats.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the central target of ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning cardioprotective strategies, which consist of either the application of brief intermittent ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) cycles or the administration of pharmacological agents. Such strategies reduce cardiac I/R injury by activating protective signaling pathways that prevent the exacerbated production of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, inhibit opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore and reduce apoptosis, maintaining normal mitochondrial function. Cardioprotection also involves the activation of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) processes, which replace defective mitochondria or eliminate mitochondrial debris, preserving the structure and function of the network of these organelles, and consequently ensuring homeostasis and survival of cardiomyocytes. Such processes include mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion, mitophagy and mitochondrial-controlled cell death. This review updates recent advances in MQC mechanisms that are activated in the protection conferred by different cardiac conditioning interventions. Furthermore, the role of extracellular vesicles in mitochondrial protection and turnover of these organelles will be discussed. It is concluded that modulation of MQC mechanisms and recognition of mitochondrial targets could provide a potential and selective therapeutic approach for I/R-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Heart function maintenance requires a large amount of energy, which is supplied by the mitochondria. In addition to providing energy to cardiomyocytes, mitochondria also play an important role in maintaining cell function and homeostasis. Although adult cardiomyocyte mitochondria appear as independent, low-static organelles, morphological changes have been observed in cardiomyocyte mitochondria under stress or pathological conditions. Indeed, cardiac mitochondrial fission and fusion are involved in the occurrence and development of heart diseases. As mitochondrial fission and fusion are primarily regulated by mitochondrial dynamins in a GTPase-dependent manner, GTPase-dependent mitochondrial fusion (MFN1, MFN2, and OPA1) and fission (DRP1) proteins, which are abundant in the adult heart, can also be regulated in heart diseases. In fact, these dynamic proteins have been shown to play important roles in specific diseases, including ischemia-reperfusion injury, heart failure, and metabolic cardiomyopathy. This article reviews the role of GTPase-dependent mitochondrial fusion and fission protein-mediated mitochondrial dynamics in the occurrence and development of heart diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury induces brain damage through increased blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown, microglial hyperactivity, pro-inflammatory cytokines, amyloid-β deposition, loss of dendritic spines, brain mitochondrial dysfunction, and imbalanced mitochondrial dynamics. Previous studies demonstrated that mitochondrial fusion promoter reduced cardiac damage from cardiac I/R injury; however, following cardiac I/R injury, the roles of mitochondrial dynamics on the brain have not been investigated. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of pharmacological modulation using mitochondrial fusion promoter (M1) in the brain of rats following cardiac I/R injury. METHODS Twenty-four male Wistar rats were separated into two groups; 1) sham-operation (n = 8) and 2) cardiac I/R injury (n = 16). Rats in the cardiac I/R injury group were randomly received either normal saline solution as a vehicle or a mitochondrial fusion promoter (M1, 2 mg/kg) intravenously. Both treatments were given to the rats 15 minutes before cardiac I/R injury. At the end of the reperfusion protocol, the brain was rapidly removed to investigate brain mitochondrial function, mitochondrial dynamics proteins, microglial activity, and Alzheimer's disease (AD) related proteins. RESULTS Cardiac I/R injury induced brain mitochondrial dynamics imbalance as indicated by reduced mitochondrial fusion proteins expression without alteration in mitochondrial fission, brain mitochondrial dysfunction, BBB breakdown, increased macrophage infiltration, apoptosis, and AD-related proteins. Pretreatment with M1 effectively increased the expression of mitofusin 2, a mitochondrial outer membrane fusion protein, reduced brain mitochondrial dysfunction, BBB breakdown, macrophage infiltration, apoptosis, and AD-related proteins in rats following cardiac I/R injury. CONCLUSION This mitochondrial fusion promoter significantly protected rats with cardiac I/R injury against brain damage.

Pharmacological postconditioning with sappanone A ameliorates myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury and mitochondrial dysfunction via AMPK-mediated mitochondrial quality control.

Abstract
Pharmacological postconditioning (PPC), drug intervention before or during the early minutes of reperfusion, could stimulate cardioprotection as ischemic postconditioning. In this study, we examined whether PPC with sappanone A (SA), a homoisoflavanone with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, has a protective effect on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI), and explored the underlying mechanism. A MIRI model was established using the Langendorff method. After 30 min of ischemia, isolated rat hearts were treated with SA at the onset of reperfusion to stimulate PPC. The changes in myocardial infarct size, mitochondrial function, mitochondrial biogenesis, mitophagy, and mitochondrial fission and fusion were detected. The results showed that SA postconditioning decreased the myocardial infarct size, inhibited the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), and cardiac troponin (cTnI), as well as improved cardiac function, enhanced myocardial ATP content and mitochondrial complex activity, and prevented the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). Mechanistically, we found that SA was an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator, and SA postconditioning could facilitate mitochondrial biogenesis by increasing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number and the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α (PGC1α). In addition, it balanced mitochondrial dynamics by decreasing fission and increasing fusion, and enhanced mitophagy in an AMPK-dependent manner. Moreover, AMPK silencing abolished the cardioprotection of SA postconditioning. Collectively, our study demonstrated that SA postconditioning ameliorated MIRI and mitochondrial dysfunction by regulation of mitochondrial quality control via activating AMPK. This finding provides a new insight into pharmacological action and clinical use of SA.

Abstract
Revascularization is an effective therapy for rescuing myocardial tissue after ischemic events. However, the process of reperfusion can lead to more severe cardiomyocyte damage, called myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury (MIRI). We have previously shown that vitexin (VT) (a flavonoid compound derived from natural products) protects against MIRI; however, the exact mechanisms underpinning this effect require further elucidation. This study is aimed at elucidating the protective mechanism of VT in inhibiting ischemic myocardial mitochondrial dysfunction and reducing cardiomyocyte apoptosis by regulating Epac1-Rap1 signaling. Isolated rat hearts were subjected to MIRI in a Langendorff perfusion system, and H9c2 cells were subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in vitro. Our analyses show that during I/R, Epac1 expression was upregulated, left ventricular dysfunction deteriorated, mitochondrial dynamics were disrupted, and both myocardial cells and tissues exhibited apoptosis. Furthermore, administration of 8-CPT (an Epac agonist) exacerbated cardiomyocyte injury and mitochondrial dysfunction. Interestingly, suppressing the function of Epac1 through VT or ESI-09 (an Epac inhibitor) treatment during I/R reduced the myocardial infarct size, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and reactive oxygen species production; alleviated mitochondrial dysfunction by increasing mitochondrial membrane potential; elevated MFN2 expression; and inhibited Drp1 expression. To our knowledge, our results reveal, for the first time, the mechanisms underlying the protective effect of VT in the myocardium of rats with MIRI. Moreover, we provide a new target and theoretical basis for VT in the treatment of ischemic heart disease.

Abstract
Mitochondria are important organelles in eukaryotic cells. Normal mitochondrial homeostasis is subject to a strict mitochondrial quality control system, including the strict regulation of mitochondrial production, fission/fusion and mitophagy. The strict and accurate modulation of the mitochondrial quality control system, comprising the mitochondrial fission/fusion, mitophagy and other processes, can ameliorate the myocardial injury of myocardial ischaemia and ischaemia-reperfusion after myocardial infarction, which plays an important role in myocardial protection after myocardial infarction. Further research into the mechanism will help identify new therapeutic targets and drugs for the treatment of myocardial infarction. This article aims to summarize the recent research regarding the mitochondrial quality control system and its molecular mechanism involved in myocardial infarction, as well as the potential therapeutic targets in the future.

Abstract
A healthy mitochondrial network produces a large amount of ATP and biosynthetic intermediates to provide sufficient energy for myocardium and maintain normal cell metabolism. Mitochondria form a dynamic and interconnected network involved in various cellular metabolic signaling pathways. As mitochondria are damaged, controlling mitochondrial quantity and quality is activated by changing their morphology and tube network structure, mitophagy, and biogenesis to replenish a healthy mitochondrial network to preserve cell function. There is no doubt that mitochondrial dysfunction has become a key factor in many diseases. Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is a pathological manifestation of various heart diseases. Cardiac ischemia causes temporary tissue and organelle damage. Although reperfusion is essential to compensate for nutrient deficiency, blood flow restoration inconsequently further kills the previously ischemic cardiomyocytes. To date, dysfunctional mitochondria and disturbed mitochondrial quality control have been identified as critical IR injury mechanisms. Many researchers have detected abnormal mitochondrial morphology and mitophagy, as well as aberrant levels and activity of mitochondrial biogenesis factors in the IR injury model. Although mitochondrial damage is well-known in myocardial IR injury, the causal relationship between abnormal mitochondrial quality control and IR injury has not been established. This review briefly describes the molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control, summarizes our current understanding of the complex role of mitochondrial quality control in IR injury, and finally speculates on the possibility of targeted control of mitochondria and the methods available to mitigate IR injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury causes various severe heart diseases, including myocardial infarction. This study aimed to determine the therapeutic effect of atractylenolide I (ATR-I), which is an active ingredient isolated from Atractylodes macrocephala, on myocardial I/R injury. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to the five following groups (nine rats/group): control, I/R, and I/R + ATR-I preconditioning (10, 50, and 250 µg). The effects of ATR-I on rats with I/R injury were verified in cardiomyocytes with hypoxia/reoxygenation. Production of reactive oxygen species was determined. The proliferative ability of cardiomyocytes was detected using the bromodeoxyuridine assay. Mitochondrial membrane potential was measured using flow cytometry. Cellular apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry and the terminal dUTP-digoxigenin nick end labeling assay. RESULTS I/R and hypoxia/reoxygenation injury increased mitochondrial dysfunction and activated caspase-3 and Bax/B cell lymphoma 2 expression in vitro and in vivo. ATR-I pretreatment dose-dependently significantly attenuated myocardial apoptosis and suppressed oxidative stress as reflected by increased mitochondrial DNA copy number and superoxide dismutase activity, and decreased reactive oxygen species and Ca2+ content. CONCLUSION ATR-I protects against I/R injury by protecting mitochondrial function and inhibiting activation of caspase-3.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) occurs when coronary blood flow is decreased due to an obstruction/occlusion of the vessels, leading to myocardial death and progression to heart failure (HF). Cognitive impairment, anxiety, depression and memory loss are the most frequent mental health problems among patients with HF. The most common cause of cognitive decline is cardiac systolic dysfunction, which leads to reduced cerebral perfusion. Several in vivo and clinical studies provide information regarding the underlying mechanisms of HF in brain pathology. Neurohormonal activation, oxidative stress, inflammation, glial activation, dendritic spine loss and brain programmed cell death are all proposed as contributors of cognitive impairment in HF. Furthermore, several investigations into the effects of various medications on brain pathology utilizing MI models have been reported. In this review, potential mechanisms involving HF-associated cognitive impairment, as well as neuroprotective interventions in HF models, are discussed and summarized. In addition, gaps in the surrounding knowledge, including the types of brain cell death and the effects of cell death inhibitors in HF, are presented and discussed. This review provides valuable information that will suggest the potential therapeutic strategies for cognitive impairment in patients with HF.

Abstract
Currently, the prevalence of obesity in aging populations is fast growing worldwide. Aging induced by D-galactose (D-gal) is proven to cause the worsening of cardiac dysfunction in pre-diabetic rats via deteriorating cardiac mitochondrial function. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown to attenuate D-gal-induced cognitive deterioration through decreased inflammation and apoptosis. We tested the hypothesis that HBOT alleviates D-gal induced cardiac dysfunction via improving mitochondrial function in pre-diabetic rats. Wistar rats (n=56) were fed normal diet or high-fat diet for 12 weeks. For subsequent 8 weeks, they were subcutaneously injected either vehicle (0.9% normal saline) or D-gal (150mg/kg/day). Rats were randomly subdivided into 7 groups at week 21: sham-treated (normal diet fed rats with vehicle (NDV), high-fat diet fed rats with vehicle (HFV), normal diet fed rats with D-gal (NDDg), high-fat diet fed rats with D-gal (HFDg)) and HBOT-treated (HFV, NDDg, HFDg). Sham rats received ambient pressure of oxygen while HBOT-treated ones received 100% oxygen given once daily for 60 minutes at 2 atmosphere absolute. HBOT reduced metabolic impairments, mitochondrial dysfunction and increased autophagy, resulting in an improvement of cardiac function in aged pre-diabetic rats.

Abstract
Cardiac autonomic imbalance including sympathetic overactivity and diminished parasympathetic activity is associated with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in cases of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Electrical stimulation to increase vagal activity has been shown to reduce infarct size and decrease fatal arrhythmias in cardiac I/R injury. However, the benefits of a parasympathomimetic drug on the heart during I/R are unclear. We hypothesized that administration of donepezil provides cardioprotection in cardiac I/R injury via reducing cellular apoptosis, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, mitochondrial dynamic imbalance, increasing autophagy, and mitophagy. Fifty-four male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into sham and I/R groups. Acute cardiac I/R injury was induced by 30-minutes left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery occlusion followed by 120-minutes reperfusion. These rats with induced I/R injury were randomly assigned to be treated with either: (1) Saline (vehicle group) or donepezil 3 mg/kg via intravenous injection given (2) before ischemia, (3) during ischemia, or (4) at the onset of reperfusion. Rats with cardiac I/R injury showed an increase in infarct size and arrhythmia score, LV dysfunction, impaired mitochondrial dynamic balance, autophagy and mitophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased apoptosis. All the donepezil-treated rats, regardless of the time of administration, showed a similar reduction in these impairments, and rebalancing in cardiac mitochondrial dynamics, leading to reduced myocardial infarct size and arrhythmia, and improved LV function. These findings suggested that donepezil effectively protected the heart against I/R injury through cardiac mitochondrial protection regardless of the time of administration.

Arcones AC, Martínez-Cignoni MR, Vila-Bedmar R, Yáñez C, Lladó I, Proenza AM, Mayor F, Murga C. Cardiac GRK2 Protein Levels Show Sexual Dimorphism during Aging and Are Regulated by Ovarian Hormones. Cells 2021; 10:673. [PMID: 33803070 PMCID: PMC8002941 DOI: 10.3390/cells10030673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk shows a clear sexual dimorphism with age, with a lower incidence in young women compared to age-matched men. However, this protection is lost after menopause. We demonstrate that sex-biased sensitivity to the development of CVD with age runs in parallel with changes in G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) protein levels in the murine heart and that mitochondrial fusion markers, related to mitochondrial functionality and cardiac health, inversely correlate with GRK2. Young female mice display lower amounts of cardiac GRK2 protein compared to age-matched males, whereas GRK2 is upregulated with age specifically in female hearts. Such an increase in GRK2 seems to be specific to the cardiac muscle since a different pattern is found in the skeletal muscles of aging females. Changes in the cardiac GRK2 protein do not seem to rely on transcriptional modulation since adrbk1 mRNA does not change with age and no differences are found between sexes. Global changes in proteasomal or autophagic machinery (known regulators of GRK2 dosage) do not seem to correlate with the observed GRK2 dynamics. Interestingly, cardiac GRK2 upregulation in aging females is recapitulated by ovariectomy and can be partially reversed by estrogen supplementation, while this does not occur in the skeletal muscle. Our data indicate an unforeseen role for ovarian hormones in the regulation of GRK2 protein levels in the cardiac muscle which correlates with the sex-dependent dynamics of CVD risk, and might have interesting therapeutic applications, particularly for post-menopausal women.
