Abstract
Mitochondria orchestrate the production of new mitochondria and the removal of damaged ones to dynamically maintain mitochondrial homeostasis through constant biogenesis and clearance mechanisms. Mitochondrial quality control particularly relies on mitophagy, defined as selective autophagy with mitochondria-targeting specificity. Most ROS are derived from mitochondria, and the physiological concentration of mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) is no longer considered a useless by-product, as it has been proven to participate in immune and autophagy pathway regulation. However, excessive mtROS appears to be a pathogenic factor in several diseases, including acute lung injury (ALI). The interplay between mitophagy and mtROS is complex and closely related to ALI. Here, we review the pathways of mitophagy, the intricate relationship between mitophagy and mtROS, the role of mtROS in the pathogenesis of ALI, and their effects and related progression in ALI induced by different conditions.

Zhou X, Wang M, Sun M, Yao N. HSPB8 attenuates lipopolysaccharide‑mediated acute lung injury in A549 cells by activating mitophagy. Mol Med Rep 2024; 30:171. [PMID: 39054966 PMCID: PMC11294906 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2024.13295] [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: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
Sepsis is a life‑threatening multiple organ failure disease caused by an uncontrolled inflammatory response and can progress to acute lung injury (ALI). Heat‑shock protein B8 (HSPB8) serves a cytoprotective role in multiple types of diseases; however, to the best of our knowledge, the regulatory role of HSPB8 in sepsis‑induced ALI remains unclear. A549 human alveolar type II epithelial cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h to simulate a sepsis‑induced ALI model. Cell transfection was performed to overexpress HSPB8, and cells were treated with mitochondrial division inhibitor‑1 (Mdivi‑1) for 2 h before LPS induction to assess the underlying mechanism. Protein expression was evaluated using western blotting and an immunofluorescence assay. Cytokines were examined using ELISA assay kits and antioxidant enzymes were examined using their detection kits. Cell apoptosis was detected using flow cytometry. The mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC‑1 staining. HSPB8 was upregulated in A549 cells treated with LPS and HSPB8 overexpression attenuated LPS‑induced inflammatory cytokine levels, oxidative stress and apoptosis in A549 cells. LPS inhibited mitophagy and reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential in A549 cells, which was partly inhibited by HSPB8 overexpression. Furthermore, Mdivi‑1 decreased the inhibitory effect of HSPB8 on the inflammatory response, oxidative stress and apoptosis in LPS‑treated A549 cells. In conclusion, HSPB8 overexpression attenuated the LPS‑mediated inflammatory response, oxidative stress and apoptosis in A549 cells by promoting mitophagy, indicating HSPB8 as a potential therapeutic target in sepsis‑induced ALI.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a major cause of death among patients with sepsis in intensive care units. By analyzing a model of sepsis-induced ALI using lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), treatment methods and strategies to protect against ALI were discussed, which could provide an experimental basis for the clinical treatment of sepsis-induced ALI. Recent studies have found that an imbalance in autophagy, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis is a key mechanism that triggers sepsis-induced ALI, and regulating these death mechanisms can improve lung injuries caused by LPS or CLP. This article summarized and reviewed the mechanisms and regulatory networks of autophagy, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis and their important roles in the process of LPS/CLP-induced ALI in sepsis, discusses the possible targeted drugs of the above mechanisms and their effects, describes their dilemma and prospects, and provides new perspectives for the future treatment of sepsis-induced ALI.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis commonly remains undiagnosed until disease manifestations occur. The disease is associated with dysregulated micro(mi)RNAs, but how this is linked to atherosclerosis-related immune reactions is largely unknown. A mouse model of carotid atherosclerosis, human APOB100-transgenic Ldlr-/- (HuBL), was used to study the spatiotemporal dysregulation of a set of miRNAs. Middle-aged HuBL mice with established atherosclerosis had decreased levels of miR-143-3p in their carotid arteries. In young HuBL mice, early atherosclerosis was observed in the carotid bifurcation, which had lower levels of miR-15a-5p, miR-143-3p, and miR-199a-3p, and higher levels of miR-155-5p. The dysregulation of these miRNAs was reflected by specific immune responses during atheroprogression. Finally, levels of miR-143-3p were 70.6% lower in extracellular vesicles isolated from the plasma of patients with carotid stenosis compared to healthy controls. Since miR-143-3p levels progressively decrease when transitioning between early and late experimental carotid atherosclerosis, we propose it as a biomarker for atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isoform 4 (PDK4) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cellular proliferation and apoptosis. The objective of this study was to examine whether the genetic depletion of the PDK4 gene attenuates hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal mice. METHODS Neonatal PDK4-/- mice and wild-type (WT) mice were exposed to oxygen concentrations of 21% (normoxia) and 95% (hyperoxia) for the first 4 days of life. Pulmonary histological assessments were performed, and the mRNA levels of lung PDK4, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 and interleukin (IL)-6 were assessed. The levels of inflammatory cytokines in lung tissue were quantified. RESULTS Following convalescence from neonatal hyperoxia, PDK4-/- mice exhibited improved lung alveolarization. Notably, PDK4-/- mice displayed significantly elevated MCP-1 protein levels in pulmonary tissues following 4 days of hyperoxic exposure, whereas WT mice showed increased IL-6 protein levels under similar conditions. Furthermore, neonatal PDK4-/- mice subjected to hyperoxia demonstrated markedly higher MCP-1 mRNA expression at 4 days of age compared to WT mice, while IL-6 mRNA expression remained unaffected in PDK4-/- mice. CONCLUSIONS Newborn PDK4-/- mice exhibited notable recovery from hyperoxia-induced lung injury, suggesting the potential protective role of PDK4 depletion in mitigating lung damage.

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction due to dysregulated host response to infection, accompanied by a high rate of mortality worldwide. During sepsis progression, toll-like receptors (TLRs) play essential roles in the aberrant inflammatory response that contributes to sepsis-related mortality. Here, we demonstrated a critical role of TLR9 in the progression of sepsis. A septic mouse model was established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), then administered with lentivirus encoding si-TLR9/LY294002. TLR9 protein expression and p65 nuclear translocation level/TLR9 protein positive expression/interaction between TLR9 and myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88) in the cecal tissues were examined by Western blot/immunohistochemistry/co-immunoprecipitation assays. Serum levels of pro-inflammatory factors [e.g., interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)] as well as bacterial contents in the liver/spleen/mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) were measured by ELISA and bacterial mobility assay. TLR9 expression was augmented in the cecal tissues, TLR9 and MyD88 interaction was enhanced, nuclear p65 protein level was increased, cytoplasmic p65 protein level was decreased, and the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway was activated in CLP-induced septic mice, while TLR9 knockout protected against CLP-induced sepsis via the MyD88/NF-κB pathway inactivation. Briefly, TLR9 inhibition-mediated protection against CLP-induced sepsis was associated with a reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokine release and a promotion of bacterial clearance via a mechanism involving the MyD88/NF-κB pathway inactivation.

Abstract
Macrophages are highly heterogeneous and plastic, and have two main polarized phenotypes that are determined by their microenvironment, namely pro- and anti-inflammatory macrophages. Activation of pro-inflammatory macrophages is closely associated with metabolic reprogramming, especially that of aerobic glycolysis. Mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) negatively regulates pyruvate dehydrogenase complex activity through reversible phosphorylation and further links glycolysis to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and ATP production. PDK is commonly associated with the metabolism and polarization of macrophages in metabolic and inflammatory diseases. This review examines the relationship between PDK and macrophage metabolism and discusses the mechanisms by which PDK regulates macrophage polarization, migration, and inflammatory cytokine secretion in metabolic and inflammatory diseases. Elucidating the relationships between the metabolism and polarization of macrophages under physiological and pathological conditions, as well as the regulatory pathways involved, may provide valuable insights into the etiology and treatment of macrophage-mediated inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Background Numerous preclinical investigations have exhibited the beneficial impact of emodin (EMO) on the management of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP)-associated acute lung injury (ALI). However, the potential of EMO to mitigate organ damage through the modulation of exosome (Exo)-specific miRNA expression profiles remains unclear. Methods The SAP rat model was established by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic bile duct. Rats received intragastric administration of EMO at 2 h and 12 h post-modeling. Plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)-derived exosomes were isolated and purified from SAP rats treated with EMO. The therapeutic effects of these Exos in SAP rats were assessed using hematoxylin-eosin staining and measurement of inflammatory factor levels. MicroRNA (miRNA) sequencing was conducted on plasma and BALF-derived Exos, and rescue experiments were performed to investigate the function of NOVEL miR-29a-3p in the treatment of SAP using EMO. Results EMO exhibits ameliorative effects on pancreatic and lung injury and inflammation in rats with SAP. Plasma/BALF-derived Exos from EMO-treated SAP rats also have therapeutic effects on SAP rats. The miRNA expression profile of plasma and BALF-derived Exos in SAP rats underwent significant changes upon exposure to EMO. In particular, 34 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were identified when comparing BALF-SAP+EMO-Exo and BALF-SAP-Exo. 39 DEmiRNAs were identified when comparing plasma-SAP+EMO-Exo to plasma-SAP-Exo. We found that SAP rats treated with Exos derived from BALF exhibited a more potent therapeutic response than those treated with Exos derived from plasma. EMO may rely on NOVEL-rno-miR-29a-3p expression to prevent pulmonary injury in SAP rats. Conclusion The mechanism of action of EMO is observed to have a significant impact on the miRNA expression profile of Exos derived from plasma and BALF in SAP rats. NOVEL-rno-miR-29a-3p, which is specific to Exos, and is derived from BALF, may play a crucial role in the therapeutic efficacy of EMO.

Abstract
Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening syndrome with high mortality and morbidity, resulting in a heavy burden on family and society. As a key factor that maintains cellular homeostasis, autophagy is regarded as a self-digesting process by which damaged organelles and useless proteins are recycled for cell metabolism, and it thus plays a crucial role during physiological and pathological processes. Recent studies have indicated that autophagy is involved in the pathophysiological process of sepsis-induced ALI, including cell apoptosis, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction, which indicates that regulating autophagy may be beneficial for this disease. However, the role of autophagy in the etiology and treatment of sepsis-induced ALI is not well characterized. This review summarizes the autophagy-related signaling pathways in sepsis-induced ALI, as well as focuses on the dual role of autophagy and its regulation by non-coding RNAs during disease progression, for the development of potential therapeutic strategies in this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intervertebral disk degeneration (IDD) is a degenerative disease that underlies various musculoskeletal and spinal disorders and is positively correlated with age. tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNA), as a new small noncoding RNAs, its function in IDD is unclear. Herein, our goal was to find the key tsRNA that affects IDD independently of age and explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS Small RNA sequencing was performed in nucleus pulposus (NP) tissues of traumatic lumbar fracture individuals, young IDD (IDDY) patients, and old IDD (IDDO) patients. The biological functions of tsRNA-04002 in NP cells (NPCs) were investigated by qRT-PCR, western blot, and flow cytometry analysis. The molecular mechanism of tsRNA-04002 was demonstrated by luciferase assays and rescue experiments. Furthermore, the therapeutic effects of tsRNA-04002 on IDD rat model were used and evaluated in vivo. RESULTS Compared with fresh traumatic lumbar fracture patients, a total of 695 disordered tsRNAs is obtained (398 down-regulated tsRNAs and 297 up-regulated tsRNAs). These disordered tsRNAs were mainly involved in Wnt signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway. tsRNA-04002 was an age-independent key target in IDD, which was both lower expressed in IDDY and IDDO groups than control group. Overexpression of tsRNA-04002 restrained inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α expression, increased the COL2A1, and inhibited the NPCs apoptosis. Furthermore, we determined that PRKCA was the target gene of tsRNA-04002 and was negatively regulated by tsRNA-04002. The rescue experiment results suggested that the high expression of PRKCA reversed the inhibitory effect of tsRNA-04002 mimics on NPCs inflammation and apoptosis, and promotive effect of COL2A1. Moreover, tsRNA-04002 treatment dramatically ameliorated the IDD process in the puncture-induced rat model, together with the blockade of PRKCA in vivo. CONCLUSION Collectively, our results substantiated that tsRNA-04002 could alleviate IDD by targeting PRKCA to inhibit apoptosis of NPCs. tsRNA-04002 may be a novel therapeutic target of IDD progression.
