Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 179:117340. [PMID: 39191025 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.117340] [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: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/21/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Scutellarin (Scu), a flavonoid from herbal Erigeron breviscapus (Vaniot) Hand-Mazz, exerts neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia. However, whether the effects of Scu are related to mitochondrial protection needs further investigation. In this study, we aimed to clarify the mechanisms of Scu against HT22 cells injury caused by oxygen-glucose deprivation and reperfusion (OGD/R). Our results proved that Scu significantly reduced the overload of intracellular reactive oxygen species (cellar ROS) and mitochondria reactive oxygen species (mito-ROS), ameliorating oxidative stress damage. TUNEL positive rate, Caspase-3 activity, and Cytochrome c (Cyto-c) expression remarkably decreased following Scu treatment. Meanwhile, Scu could maintain mitochondrial morphology and reverse ultrastructure changes. And mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), oxygen consumption rate (OCR), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and Na+/K+-ATPase activity were obviously promoted. Additionally, Scu was found to stimulate mitophagy level by increasing the expression of LC3, Beclin1, PINK1 and Parkin proteins, as well as promoting the degradation of p62. More importantly, the regulatory effects of Scu on mito-ROS, MMP, ATP, Na+/K+-ATPase, cell viability and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were markedly limited by Mdivi-1 (a mitophagy inhibitor). Of note, the inhibitor also reversed Scu-mediated apoptosis suppression, evidenced by the diminished apoptosis rate, the down-regulated expression activities of Cyto-c, Bax and cleaved Caspase-3, as well as the elevated level of Bcl-2 protein. Collectively, Scu could improve mitochondrial dysfunction and inhibit apoptosis by stimulating mitophagy, thereby attenuating OGD/R-induced HT22 cells injury.

Naoxintong capsule accelerates mitophagy in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury via TP53/PINK1/PRKN pathway based on network pharmacology analysis and experimental validation. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 336:118721. [PMID: 39173723 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2024] [Revised: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The incidence and mortality of cerebrovascular diseases are increasing year by year. Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is common in patients with ischemic stroke. Naoxintong (NXT) is composed of a variety of Chinese medicines and has the ability to treat CIRI. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether NXT regulates mitophagy in CIRI based on network pharmacology analysis and experimental validation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Oxygen and glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R, 2/22 h) model of PC12 cells and transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO, 2/22 h) model of rats were established. Pharmacodynamic indicators include neurological deficit score, 2,3,5-triphenyte-trazoliumchloride (TTC) staining, hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and cell viability. Network pharmacology was used to predict pharmacological mechanisms. Pharmacological mechanism indexes include transmission electron microscopy (TEM), drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS), cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), immunohistochemistry (IHC), western blot (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF). Kevetrin (an agonists of p53) and pifithrin-α (an inhibitor of p53) used to detect the key role of p53 in mitophagy of NXT. RESULTS NXT (1% serum containing NXT and 110 mg/kg) improved the damage of OGD/R PC12 cells and tMCAO rats, and this protective effect was related to the anti-oxidation and ability to promote mitophagy of NXT. NXT and pifithrin-α increased the expression of promoting-mitophagy targets (PINK1, PRKN and LC3B) and inhibited the expression of inhibiting-mitophagy targets (p52) via restraining p53, and finally accelerated mitophagy caused by CIRI. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that NXT promotes mitophagy in CIRI through restraining p53 and promoting PINK1/PRKN in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
ErbB3-binding protein 1(Ebp1) has two isoforms, p42 Ebp1 and p48 Ebp1, both of which can regulate cell growth and differentiation. But these isoforms often have opposite effects, including contradictory roles in regulation of cell growth in different tissues and cells. P48 Ebp1 belongs to the full-length sequence, while conformational changes in the crystal structure of p42 Ebp1 reveals a lack of an α helix at the amino terminus. Due to the differences in the structures of these two isoforms, they have different binding partners and protein modifications. Ebp1 can function as both an oncogene and a tumor suppressor factor. However, the underlying mechanisms by which these two isoforms exert opposite functions are still not fully understood. In this review, we summarize the genes and the structures of protein of these two isoforms, protein modifications, binding partners and the association of different isoforms with diseases.

Abstract
The incidence of ischemic stroke has been increasing annually with an unfavorable prognosis. Cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury can exacerbate nerve damage. Effective mitochondrial quality control including mitochondrial fission, fusion and autophagy, is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Several studies have revealed the critical role of mitophagy in Cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. Cerebral ischemia and hypoxia induce mitophagy, and mitophagy exhibits positive and negative effects in cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. Studies have shown that Chinese herbal medicine can alleviate Cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury and serve as a neuroprotective agent by inhibiting or promoting mitophagy-mediated pathways. This review focuses on the mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy-related pathways, as well as the role of mitophagy in ischemia reperfusion injury. Additionally, it discusses the therapeutic potential and benefits of Chinese herbal monomers and decoctions in the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Progress of medicinal plants and their active metabolites in ischemia-reperfusion injury of stroke: a novel therapeutic strategy based on regulation of crosstalk between mitophagy and ferroptosis. Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1374445. [PMID: 38650626 PMCID: PMC11033413 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2024.1374445] [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: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The death of cells can occur through various pathways, including apoptosis, necroptosis, mitophagy, pyroptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, oxidative stress, ferroptosis, cuproptosis, and disulfide-driven necrosis. Increasing evidence suggests that mitophagy and ferroptosis play crucial regulatory roles in the development of stroke. In recent years, the incidence of stroke has been gradually increasing, posing a significant threat to human health. Hemorrhagic stroke accounts for only 15% of all strokes, while ischemic stroke is the predominant type, representing 85% of all stroke cases. Ischemic stroke refers to a clinical syndrome characterized by local ischemic-hypoxic necrosis of brain tissue due to various cerebrovascular disorders, leading to rapid onset of corresponding neurological deficits. Currently, specific therapeutic approaches targeting the pathophysiological mechanisms of ischemic brain tissue injury mainly include intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular intervention. Despite some clinical efficacy, these approaches inevitably lead to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Therefore, exploration of treatment options for ischemic stroke remains a challenging task. In light of this background, advancements in targeted therapy for cerebrovascular diseases through mitophagy and ferroptosis offer a new direction for the treatment of such diseases. In this review, we summarize the progress of mitophagy and ferroptosis in regulating ischemia-reperfusion injury in stroke and emphasize their potential molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis. Importantly, we systematically elucidate the role of medicinal plants and their active metabolites in targeting mitophagy and ferroptosis in ischemia-reperfusion injury in stroke, providing new insights and perspectives for the clinical development of therapeutic drugs for these diseases.

Cultured Rat Hippocampal Neurons Exposed to the Mitochondrial Uncoupler Carbonyl Cyanide Chlorophenylhydrazone Undergo a Rapid, Presenilin-Dependent Change in Neuronal Properties. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:578. [PMID: 38203751 PMCID: PMC10779238 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25010578] [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: 12/06/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Presenilin 1 (PS1) is a transmembrane proteolytic subunit of γ-secretase that cleaves amyloid precursor proteins. Mutations in PS1 (mPS1) are associated with early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (AD). The link between mutated PS1, mitochondrial calcium regulation, and AD has been studied extensively in different test systems. Despite the wide-ranging role of mPS1 in AD, there is a paucity of information on the link between PS1 and neuronal cell death, a hallmark of AD. In the present study, we employed the selective mitochondrial uncoupler carbonyl cyanide chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) and compared the reactivity of mPS1-transfected cultured rat hippocampal neurons with PS1 and control neurons in a situation of impaired mitochondrial functions. CCCP causes a slow rise in cytosolic and mitochondrial calcium in all three groups of neurons, with the mPS1 neurons demonstrating a faster rise. Consequently, mPS1 neurons were depolarized by CCCP and measured with TMRM, a mitochondrial voltage indicator, more than the other two groups. Morphologically, CCCP produced more filopodia in mPS1 neurons than in the other two groups, which were similarly affected by the drug. Finally, mPS1 transfected neurons tended to die from prolonged exposure to CCCP sooner than the other groups, indicating an increase in vulnerability associated with a lower ability to regulate excess cytosolic calcium.
