An engineered cellular carrier delivers miR-138-5p to enhance mitophagy and protect hypoxic-injured neurons via the DNMT3A/Rhebl1 axis. Acta Biomater 2024; 186:424-438. [PMID: 39122135 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.07.059] [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: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 07/06/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Mitophagy influences the progression and prognosis of ischemic stroke (IS). However, whether DNA methylation in the brain is associated with altered mitophagy in hypoxia-injured neurons remains unclear. Here, miR-138-5p was found to be highly expressed in exosomes secreted by astrocytes stimulated with oxygen and glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation (OGD/R), which could influence the recovery of OGD/R-injured neurons through autophagy. Mechanistically, miR-138-5p promotes the stable expression of Ras homolog enriched in brain like 1(Rhebl1) through DNA-methyltransferase-3a (DNMT3A), thereby enhancing ubiquitin-dependent mitophagy to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis. Furthermore, we employed glycosylation engineering and bioorthogonal click reactions to load mirna onto the surface of microglia and deliver them to injured region utilising the inflammatory chemotactic properties of microglia to achieve drug-targeted delivery to the central nervous system (CNS). Our findings demonstrate miR-138-5p improves mitochondrial function in neurons through the miR-138-5p/DNMT3A/Rhebl1 axis. Additionally, our engineered cell vector-targeted delivery system could be promising for treating IS. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, we demonstrated that miR-138-5p in exosomes secreted by astrocytes under hypoxia plays a critical role in the treatment of hypoxia-injured neurons. And we find a new target of miR-138-5p, DNMT3A, which affects neuronal mitophagy and thus exerts a protective effect by regulating the methylation of Rbebl1. Furthermore, we have developed a carrier delivery system by combining miR-138-5p with the cell membrane of microglia and utilized the inflammatory chemotactic properties of microglia to deliver this system to the brain via intravenous injection. This groundbreaking study not only provides a novel therapeutic approach for ischemia-reperfusion treatment but also establishes a solid theoretical foundation for further research on targeted drug delivery for central nervous system diseases with promising clinical applications.

Autophagy modulation effect on homotypic transfer of intracellular components via tunneling nanotubes in mesenchymal stem cells. Stem Cell Res Ther 2024; 15:189. [PMID: 38956646 PMCID: PMC11218273 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-024-03813-1] [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: 04/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/23/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have proved the role of autophagy in mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) function and regenerative properties. How and by which mechanism autophagy modulation can affect the juxtacrine interaction of MSCs should be addressed. Here, the role of autophagy was investigated in the formation of tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) and homotypic mitochondrial donation. METHODS MSCs were incubated with 15 µM Metformin (Met) and/or 3 µM 3-methyladenine (3-MA) for 48 h. The formation of TNTs was assessed using bright-field and SEM images. The mitochondria density and ΔΨ values were monitored using flow cytometry analysis. Using RT-PCR and protein array, the close interaction and shared mediators between autophagy, apoptosis, and Wnt signaling pathways were also monitored. The total fatty acid profile was assessed using gas chromatography. RESULT Data indicated the increase of TNT length and number, along with other cell projections after the induction of autophagy while these features were blunted in 3-MA-treated MSCs (p < 0.05). Western blotting revealed the significant reduction of Rab8 and p-FAK in 3-MA-treated MSCs (p < 0.05), indicating the inhibition of TNT assembly and vesicle transport. Likewise, the stimulation of autophagy increased autophagic flux and mitochondrial membrane integrity compared to 3-MA-treated MSCs. Despite these findings, protein levels of mitochondrial membrane Miro1 and 2 were unchanged after autophagy inhibition/stimulation (p > 0.05). We found that the inhibition/stimulation of autophagy can affect the protein, and transcription levels of several mediators related to Wnt and apoptosis signaling pathways involved in different cell bioactivities. Data confirmed the profound increase of mono and polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratio in MSCs exposed to autophagy stimulator. CONCLUSIONS In summary, autophagy modulation could affect TNT formation which is required for homotypic mitochondrial donation. Thus, the modulation of autophagy creates a promising perspective to increase the efficiency of cell-based therapies.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a traumatic neuropathic condition that results in motor, sensory and autonomic dysfunction. Mitochondrial dysfunction caused by primary trauma is one of the critical pathogenic mechanisms. Moderate levels of zinc have antioxidant effects, promote neurogenesis and immune responses. Zinc normalises mitochondrial morphology in neurons after SCI. However, how zinc protects mitochondria within neurons is unknown. In the study, we used transwell culture, Western blot, Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (QRT-PCR), ATP content detection, reactive oxygen species (ROS) activity assay, flow cytometry and immunostaining to investigate the relationship between zinc-treated microglia and injured neurons through animal and cell experiments. We found that zinc promotes mitochondrial transfer from microglia to neurons after SCI through Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) regulation of Mitofusin 2 protein (Mfn2). It can rescue mitochondria in damaged neurons and inhibit oxidative stress, increase ATP levels and promote neuronal survival. Therefore, it can improve the recovery of motor function in SCI mice. In conclusion, our work reveals a potential mechanism to describe the communication between microglia and neurons after SCI, which may provide a new idea for future therapeutic approaches to SCI.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have become popular tool cells in the field of transformation and regenerative medicine due to their function of cell rescue and cell replacement. The dynamically changing mitochondria serve as an energy metabolism factory and signal transduction platform, adapting to different cell states and maintaining normal cell activities. Therefore, a clear understanding of the regulatory mechanism of mitochondria in MSCs is profit for more efficient clinical transformation of stem cells. This review highlights the cutting-edge knowledge regarding mitochondrial biology from the following aspects: mitochondrial morphological dynamics, energy metabolism and signal transduction. The manuscript mainly focuses on mitochondrial mechanistic insights in the whole life course of MSCs, as well as the potential roles played by mitochondria in MSCs treatment of transplantation, for seeking pivotal targets of stem cell fate regulation and stem cell therapy.

Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 2 (TNFAIP2) is a gene induced by tumor necrosis factor in endothelial cells. TNFAIP2 has important functions in physiological and pathological processes, including cell proliferation, adhesion, migration, angiogenesis, inflammation, tunneling nanotube (TNT) formation and tumorigenesis. Moreover, TNFAIP2 is the key factor in the formation of TNTs. TNTs are related to signal transduction between different cell types and are considered a novel means of cell-to-cell communication. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent cells that exhibit self-renewal, multidirectional differentiation, paracrine function and immune-regulating ability. MSCs can transfer mitochondria through TNTs to improve the functions of target cells. This review revealed that TNFAIP2 promotes the formation of TNTs and that MSCs rely on TNTs for mitochondrial transfer to ameliorate cell dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A reduced effective local concentration significantly contributes to the unsatisfactory therapeutic results of epirubicin in gastric cancer. Mesenchymal stem cells exhibit targeted chemotaxis towards solid tumors and form tunneling nanotubes with tumor cells, facilitating the delivery of various substances. This study demonstrates the novelty of mesenchymal stem cells in releasing epirubicin into gastric cancer cells through tunneling nanotubes. OBJECTIVE Epirubicin delivery to gastric cancer cells using mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS In vitro transwell migration assays, live cell tracking, and in vivo targeting assays were used to demonstrate the chemotaxis of mesenchymal stem cells towards gastric cancer. We verified the targeted chemotaxis of mesenchymal stem cells towards gastric cancer cells and the epirubicin loading ability using a high-content imaging system (Equipment type:Operetta CLS). Additionally, tunneling nanotube formation and the targeted release of epirubicin-loaded mesenchymal stem cells co-cultured with gastric cancer cells through mesenchymal stem cell-tunneling nanotubes into gastric cancer cells was observed using Operetta CLS. RESULTS Mesenchymal stem cells demonstrated targeted chemotaxis towards gastric cancer, with effective epirubicin loading and tolerance. Co-culturing induced tunneling nanotube formation between these cells. Epirubicin-loaded mesenchymal stem cells were released into gastric cancer cells through tunneling nanotubes, significantly increasing their non-viability compared to the negative control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS We identified a novel approach for precisely targeting epirubicin release in gastric cancer cells. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cell-tunneling nanotubes could serve as a potential tool for targeted delivery of drugs, enhancing their chemotherapeutic effects in cancer cells.

Abstract
Ensuring mitochondrial quality is essential for maintaining neuronal homeostasis, and mitochondrial transport plays a vital role in mitochondrial quality control. In this review, we first provide an overview of neuronal mitochondrial transport, followed by a detailed description of the various motors and adaptors associated with the anterograde and retrograde transport of mitochondria. Subsequently, we review the modest evidence involving mitochondrial transport mechanisms that has surfaced in acute neurological disorders, including traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, and ischemic stroke. An in-depth study of this area will help deepen our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the development of various acute neurological disorders and ultimately improve therapeutic options.

Abstract
Melatonin is a fascinating molecule that has captured the imagination of many scientists since its discovery in 1958. In recent times, the focus has changed from investigating its natural role as a transducer of biological time for physiological systems to hypothesized roles in virtually all clinical conditions. This goes along with the appearance of extensive literature claiming the (generally) positive benefits of high doses of melatonin in animal models and various clinical situations that would not be receptor-mediated. Based on the assumption that melatonin is safe, high doses have been administered to patients, including the elderly and children, in clinical trials. In this review, we critically review the corresponding literature, including the hypotheses that melatonin acts as a scavenger molecule, in particular in mitochondria, by trying not only to contextualize these interests but also by attempting to separate the wheat from the chaff (or the wishful thinking from the facts). We conclude that most claims remain hypotheses and that the experimental evidence used to promote them is limited and sometimes flawed. Our review will hopefully encourage clinical researchers to reflect on what melatonin can and cannot do and help move the field forward on a solid basis.

Melatonin reduces radiation-induced ferroptosis in hippocampal neurons by activating the PKM2/NRF2/GPX4 signaling pathway. Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry 2023; 126:110777. [PMID: 37100272 DOI: 10.1016/j.pnpbp.2023.110777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023]
Abstract
Ferroptosis is a type of regulated cell death that is dependent on iron and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) reduces hypoxic-ischemic brain damage via mechanisms that involve free radical scavenging. How melatonin regulates radiation-induced ferroptosis of hippocampal neurons is yet to be elucidated. In this study, the mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line HT-22 was treated with 20μM melatonin before being stimulated with a combination of irradiation and 100 μM FeCl3. Furthermore, in vivo experiments were performed in mice treated with melatonin via intraperitoneal injection, which was followed by radiation exposure. A series of functional assays, including CCK-8, DCFH-DA kit, flow cytometry, TUNEL staining, iron estimations, and transmission electron microscopy, were performed on cells as well as hippocampal tissues. The interactions between PKM2 and NRF2 proteins were detected using a coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay. Moreover, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), a luciferase reporter assay, and an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) were performed to explore the mechanism by which PKM2 regulates the NRF2/GPX4 signaling pathway. The spatial memory of mice was evaluated using the Morris Water Maze test. Hematoxylin-eosin and Nissl staining were performed for histological examination. The results revealed that melatonin protected HT-22 neuronal cells from radiation-induced ferroptosis, as inferred from increased cell viability, decreased ROS production, reduced number of apoptotic cells, and less cristae, higher electron density in mitochondria. In addition, melatonin induced PKM2 nuclear transference, while PKM2 inhibition reversed the effects of melatonin. Further experiments demonstrated that PKM2 bound to and induced the nuclear translocation of NRF2, which regulated GPX4 transcription. Ferroptosis enhanced by PKM2 inhibition was also converted by NRF2 overexpression. In vivo experiments indicated that melatonin alleviated radiation-induced neurological dysfunction and injury in mice. In conclusion, melatonin suppressed ferroptosis to decrease radiation-induced hippocampal neuronal injury by activating the PKM2/NRF2/GPX4 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Sirtuin-3 (SIRT3) is responsible for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis by deacetylating substrates in an NAD+-dependent manner. SIRT3, the primary deacetylase located in the mitochondria, controls cellular energy metabolism and the synthesis of essential biomolecules for cell survival. In recent years, increasing evidence has shown that SIRT3 is involved in several types of acute brain injury. In ischaemic stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, and intracerebral haemorrhage, SIRT3 is closely related to mitochondrial homeostasis and with the mechanisms of pathophysiological processes such as neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, autophagy, and programmed cell death. As SIRT3 is the driver and regulator of a variety of pathophysiological processes, its molecular regulation is significant. In this paper, we review the role of SIRT3 in various types of brain injury and summarise SIRT3 molecular regulation. Numerous studies have demonstrated that SIRT3 plays a protective role in various types of brain injury. Here, we present the current research available on SIRT3 as a target for treating ischaemic stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, traumatic brain injury, thus highlighting the therapeutic potential of SIRT3 as a potent mediator of catastrophic brain injury. In addition, we have summarised the therapeutic drugs, compounds, natural extracts, peptides, physical stimuli, and other small molecules that may regulate SIRT3 to uncover additional brain-protective mechanisms of SIRT3, conduct further research, and provide more evidence for clinical transformation and drug development.

Melatonin restores endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis to protect injured neurons in a rat model of chronic cervical cord compression. J Pineal Res 2023; 74:e12859.

Abstract
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) refers to a chronic injury of the cervical cord caused by cervical intervertebral disc degeneration. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis is essential to counteract neuronal apoptosis. ER stress, an integral part of ER homeostasis, was observed in a rat model of chronic cervical cord compression in our previous study. However, the correlation between ER homeostasis and CSM remains unknown. The antioxidant melatonin is known to exert therapeutic effects in acute spinal cord injury, but the specific effects and their potential mechanisms in the pathological processes of CSM require further exploration. The present study hypothesized that ER homeostasis is essential for neuronal apoptosis in the CSM and that melatonin maintains this homeostasis. The results showed that ER stress led to neuronal apoptosis in rats with chronic cervical cord compression. Conversely, melatonin attenuates protein kinase R-like ER kinase-eukaryotic initiation factor 2α-C/EBP-homologous protein, inositol-requiring enzyme 1, and transcription factor 6 signaling pathways to release ER stress and prevents Bax translocation to the mitochondrion, thereby promoting motor recovery and protecting neurons in vivo. It also rescued primary rat cortical neurons from ER stress-induced glutamate toxicity in vitro. Moreover, melatonin remodels the ER morphology and restores homeostasis via ER-phagy in injured neurons. FAM134B, CCPG1, RTN3, and Sec. 62 are four known ER-phagy receptors. In this study, Sec. 62 was identified as a key melatonin factor in promoting ER-phagy and restoring ER homeostasis in damaged neurons in vivo and in vitro. In conclusion, melatonin suppresses neuronal apoptosis by reducing ER stress and promoting ER-phagy to restore ER morphology and homeostasis. The current results suggested that melatonin is a promising treatment for CSM owing to its restorative effect on ER homeostasis; however, well-designed randomized controlled trials must be carried out to further investigate its clinical effects.

Abstract
Background Ionizing radiations (IR) have widespread useful applications in our daily life; however, they have unfavorable effects on reproductive health. Maintaining testicular health following IR exposure is an important requirement for reproductive potential. The current study explored the role of melatonin (MLT) in mitigating IR-induced injury in young adult rat testis. Methods Rats were given daily MLT (25 mg/kg) for 3 and 14 days after receiving 4 Gy γ-radiation. Results Serum MLT levels and other antioxidants, including glutathione content, and the activity of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase in the testis of the irradiated rats were remarkably maintained by MLT administration in irradiated rats. Hence, the hydrogen peroxide level declined with remarkably reduced formation of oxidative stress markers, 4-hydroxynonenal, and 8-Hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine in the testis of irradiated animals after MLT administration. The redox status improvement caused a remarkable regression of proapoptotic protein (p53, Cyto-c, and caspase-3) in the testis and improved inflammatory cytokines (CRP and IL-6), and anti-inflammatory cytokine (interleukin IL-10) in serum. This is associated with restoration of disturbed sex hormonal balance, androgen receptor upregulation, and testicular cell proliferation activity in irradiated rats, explaining the improvement of sperm parameters (count, motility, viability, and deformation). Consequently, spermatogenic cell depletion and decreased seminiferous tubule diameter and perimeter were attenuated by MLT treatment post irradiation. Moreover, the testis of irradiated-MLT-treated rats showed well-organized histological architecture and normal sperm morphology. Conclusions These results show that radiation-induced testicular injury is mitigated following IR exposure through synergistic interdependence between the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-DNA damage actions of MLT.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and a common cause of cancer-related death in women. It is well recognized that obesity is associated with an enhanced risk of more aggressive breast cancer as well as reduced patient survival. Adipose tissue is the major microenvironment of breast cancer. Obesity changes the composition, structure, and function of adipose tissue, which is associated with inflammation and metabolic dysfunction. Interestingly, adipose tissue is rich in ASCs/MSCs, and obesity alters the properties and functions of these cells. As a key component of the mammary stroma, ASCs play essential roles in the breast cancer microenvironment. The crosstalk between ASCs and breast cancer cells is multilateral and can occur both directly through cell-cell contact and indirectly via the secretome released by ASC/MSC, which is considered to be the main effector of their supportive, angiogenic, and immunomodulatory functions. In this narrative review, we aim to address the impact of obesity on ASCs/MSCs, summarize the current knowledge regarding the potential pathological roles of ASCs/MSCs in the development of breast cancer, discuss related molecular mechanisms, underline the possible clinical significance, and highlight related research perspectives. In particular, we underscore the roles of ASCs/MSCs in breast cancer cell progression, including proliferation and survival, angiogenesis, migration and invasion, the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, cancer stem cell development, immune evasion, therapy resistance, and the potential impact of breast cancer cells on ASCS/MSCs by educating them to become cancer-associated fibroblasts. We conclude that ASCs/MSCs, especially obese ASCs/MSCs, may be key players in the breast cancer microenvironment. Targeting these cells may provide a new path of effective breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a pronounced therapeutic potential in various pathological conditions. Though therapeutic effects of MSC transplantation have been studied for a long time, the underlying mechanisms are still not clear. It has been shown that transplanted MSCs are rapidly eliminated, presumably by apoptosis. As the mechanisms of MSC apoptosis are not fully understood, in the present work we analyzed MSC sensitivity to Fas-induced apoptosis using MSCs isolated from the biopsies of liver fibrosis patients (L-MSCs). The level of cell death was analyzed by flow cytometry in the propidium iodide test. The luminescent ATP assay was used to measure cellular ATP levels; and the mitochondrial membrane potential was assessed using the potential-dependent dye JC-1. We found that human L-MSCs were resistant to Fas-induced cell death over a wide range of FasL and anti-Fas mAb concentrations. At the same time, intrinsic death signal inducers CoCl2 and staurosporine caused apoptosis of L-MSCs in a dose-dependent manner. Despite the absence of Fas-induced cell death treatment of L-MSCs with low concentrations of FasL or anti-Fas mAb resulted in a cellular ATP level decrease, while high concentrations of the inducers caused a decline of the mitochondrial membrane potential. Pre-incubation of L-MSCs with the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α did not promote L-MSC cell death. Our data indicate that human L-MSCs have increased resistance to receptor-mediated cell death even under inflammatory conditions.
