Kim SO, Albrecht ED, Pepe GJ. Estrogen promotes fetal skeletal muscle mitochondrial distribution and ATP synthase activity important for insulin sensitivity in offspring. Endocrine 2024; 85:417-427.

Abstract
PURPOSE We previously showed that offspring delivered to baboons in which levels of estradiol (E2) were suppressed during the second half of gestation exhibit insulin resistance. Mitochondria are essential for the production of ATP as the main source of energy for intracellular metabolic pathways, and skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetics exhibit mitochondrial abnormalities. Mitochondria express estrogen receptor β and E2 enhances mitochondrial function in adults. Therefore, the current study ascertained whether exposure of the fetus to E2 is essential for mitochondrial development. METHODS Levels of ATP synthase and citrate synthase and the morphology of mitochondria were determined in fetal skeletal muscle obtained near term from baboons untreated or treated daily with the aromatase inhibitor letrozole or letrozole plus E2. RESULTS Specific activity and amount of ATP synthase were 2-fold lower (P < 0.05) in mitochondria from skeletal muscle of E2 suppressed letrozole-treated fetuses and restored to normal by treatment with letrozole plus E2. Immunocytochemistry showed that in contrast to the punctate formation of mitochondria in myocytes of untreated and letrozole plus E2 treated animals, mitochondria appeared to be diffuse in myocytes of estrogen-suppressed fetuses. However, citrate synthase activity and levels of proteins that control mitochondrial fission/fusion were similar in estrogen replete and suppressed animals. CONCLUSION We suggest that estrogen is essential for fetal skeletal muscle mitochondrial development and thus glucose homeostasis in adulthood.

Age-Related Decline in Nrf2/ARE Signaling Is Associated with the Mitochondrial DNA Damage and Cognitive Impairments. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232315197.

Abstract
In this research, we compared the cognitive parameters of 2-, 7-, and 15-month-old mice, changes in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) integrity and expression of genes involved in the nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2/antioxidant response element (Nrf2/ARE) signaling pathway. We showed an age-related decrease in the Nfe2l2 expression in the cerebral cortex, not in the hippocampus. At the same time, we find an increase in the mtDNA copy number in the cerebral cortex, despite the lack of an increase in gene expression, which is involved in the mitochondrial biogenesis regulation. We suppose that increase in mtDNA content is associated with mitophagy downregulation. We supposed that mitophagy downregulation may be associated with an age-related increase in the mtDNA damage. In the hippocampus, we found a decrease in the Bdnf expression, which is involved in the pathways, which play an essential role in regulating long-term memory formation. We showed a deficit of working and reference memory in 15-month-old-mice in the water Morris maze, and a decrease in the exploratory behavior in the open field test. Cognitive impairments in 15-month-old mice correlated with a decrease in Bdnf expression in the hippocampus, Nfe2l2 expression, and an increase in the number of mtDNA damage in the cerebral cortex. Thus, these signaling pathways may be perspective targets for pharmacological intervention to maintain mitochondrial quality control, neuronal plasticity, and prevent the development of age-related cognitive impairment.

Mdivi-1 Induced Mitochondrial Fusion as a Potential Mechanism to Enhance Stress Tolerance in Wheat. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12091386. [PMID: 36143422 PMCID: PMC9503966 DOI: 10.3390/life12091386] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 09/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Mitochondria play a key role in providing energy to cells. This paper is dedicated to elucidating mitochondria-dependent mechanisms that may enhance abiotic stress tolerance in wheat. Mitochondria are constantly undergoing dynamic processes of fusion and fission. In plants, stressful conditions tend to favor mitochondrial fusion processes. The role of mitochondrial fusion was studied by applying Mdivi-1, an inhibitor of mitochondrial fission, to wheat roots subjected to a wounding stress. Increased mitochondrial functional activity and upregulation of genes involved in energy metabolism suggest that mitochondrial fusion is associated with a general activation of energy metabolism. Controlling mitochondrial fusion rates could change the physiology of wheat plants by altering the energy status of the cell and helping to reduce the effects of stress. Abstract Mitochondria play a key role in providing energy to cells. These organelles are constantly undergoing dynamic processes of fusion and fission that change in stressful conditions. The role of mitochondrial fusion in wheat root cells was studied using Mdivi-1, an inhibitor of the mitochondrial fragmentation protein Drp1. The effect of the inhibitor was studied on mitochondrial dynamics in the roots of wheat seedlings subjected to a wounding stress, simulated by excision. Treatment of the stressed roots with the inhibitor increased the size of the mitochondria, enhanced their functional activity, and elevated their membrane potentials. Mitochondrial fusion was accompanied by a decrease in ROS formation and associated cell damage. Exposure to Mdivi-1 also upregulated genes encoding the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and an energy sensor AMP-dependent protein sucrose non-fermenting-related kinase (SnRK1), suggesting that mitochondrial fusion is associated with a general activation of energy metabolism. Controlling mitochondrial fusion rates could change the physiology of wheat plants by altering the energy status of the cell and helping to mitigate the effects of stress.

Abstract
The anticancer activity of pectic polysaccharides (PPs) was proved by numerous studies, and which also indicated that the bioactivity of PPs was closely related to its complicated structures. Based on the summary and analysis about structure characteristics and corresponding enzymatic process of the reported PPs, the anticancer mechanism and related structural features were systematically clarified. It was found that not only the direct effects on the cancer cells by proliferation inhibition or apoptosis, but also the regulation of immune system, gut microbiota and gut metabolism as indirect effects, jointly played important roles in the anticancer of PPs. Nevertheless, during the study of PPs as promising anticancer components, the exact structure-function relationship, digestion process in vivo, and comprehensive action mechanism are still not well understanding. With the unveiling of the proposed issues, it is believed that PPs are promising to be exploited as effective cancer therapy/adjunctive therapy drugs or functional foods.

Abstract
Pathological cardiac hypertrophy begins as an adaptive response to increased workload; however, sustained hemodynamic stress will lead it to maladaptation and eventually cardiac failure. Mitochondria, being the powerhouse of the cells, can regulate cardiac hypertrophy in both adaptive and maladaptive phases; they are dynamic organelles that can adjust their number, size, and shape through a process called mitochondrial dynamics. Recently, several studies indicate that promoting mitochondrial fusion along with preventing mitochondrial fission could improve cardiac function during cardiac hypertrophy and avert its progression toward heart failure. However, some studies also indicate that either hyperfusion or hypo-fission could induce apoptosis and cardiac dysfunction. In this review, we summarize the recent knowledge regarding the effects of mitochondrial dynamics on the development and progression of cardiac hypertrophy with particular emphasis on the regulatory role of mitochondrial dynamics proteins through the genetic, epigenetic, and post-translational mechanisms, followed by discussing the novel therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial dynamic pathways.

Abstract
Mitochondria are highly dynamic, maternally inherited cytoplasmic organelles, which fulfill cellular energy demand through the oxidative phosphorylation system. Besides, they play an active role in calcium and damage-associated molecular patterns signaling, amino acid, and lipid metabolism, and apoptosis. Thus, the maintenance of mitochondrial integrity and homeostasis is extremely critical, which is achieved through continual fusion and fission. Mitochondrial fusion allows the transfer of gene products between mitochondria for optimal functioning, especially under metabolic and environmental stress. On the other hand, fission is crucial for mitochondrial division and quality control. The imbalance between these two processes is associated with various ailments such as cancer, neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. This review discusses the molecular mechanisms that control mitochondrial fusion and fission and how the disruption of mitochondrial dynamics manifests into various disease conditions.

Abstract
Meldonium is a metabolic drug used for treatment of coronary heart disease. The effect of the drug lies in its ability to inhibit synthesis and transport of L-carnitine. At the same time, a long-term deficiency of L-carnitine can theoretically negatively affect the activity of the transcription factor Nrf2, which is extremely important for maintaining mitochondrial balance in cells. We have shown that meldonium therapy for 3 months at a dose of 100 mg/kg in mice causes a decrease in the expression of the Nrf2 gene in the brain. A decrease in the Nrf2 level causes suppression of mitochondrial biogenesis, which is manifested in a decrease in the level of mtDNA and the level of Cox1 expression. However, no negative effect of meldonium on the bioenergetics parameters of mitochondria was found, as evidenced by the maintenance of a stable mitochondrial potential and the level of production of reactive oxygen species. Jne mohth after the end of the meldonium therapy, expression of the genes responsible for mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy (p62, Pink1, Tfam) was observed and the expression level of genes responsible for mitochondrial fusion returned to control values. These changes may be associated with the normalization of the level of L-carnitine in brain cells.

Abstract
An important task of pharmacology is to find effective agents to improve retinal microcirculation and resistance to ischemia. The purpose of the study is to pharmacologically evaluate the retinoprotective effect of 2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine nicotinate in a rat model of retinal ischemia–reperfusion. A retinal ischemia–reperfusion model was used, in which an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) to 110 mmHg was carried out within 30 min. The retinoprotective effect of 2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine nicotinate at a dose of 3.8 mg/kg, in comparison with nicotinic acid at a dose of 2 mg/kg and emoxipine at a dose of 2 mg/kg, was estimated by the changes in the eye fundus during ophthalmoscopy, the retinal microcirculation level with laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), and electroretinography (ERG) after 72 h of reperfusion. The use of 2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine nicotinate prevented the development of ischemic injuries in the fundus and led to an increase in the retinal microcirculation level to 747 (median) (lower and upper quartiles: 693;760) perfusion units (p = 0.0002) in comparison with the group that underwent no treatment. In the group with the studied substance, the b-wave amplitude increased significantly (p = 0.0022), and the b/a coefficient increased reliably (p = 0.0002) in comparison with the group with no treatment. Thus, 2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-6-methylpyridine nicotinate has established itself as a potential retinoprotector.

Abstract
Mitochondrial fission and fusion are important for mitochondrial function, and dynamin 1-like protein (DNM1L) is a key regulator of mitochondrial fission. We investigated the effect of mitochondrial fission on mitochondrial function and inflammation in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) during rheumatoid arthritis (RA). DNM1L expression was determined in synovial tissues (STs) from RA and non-RA patients. FLSs were isolated from STs and treated with a DNM1L inhibitor (mdivi-1, mitochondrial division inhibitor 1) or transfected with DNM1L-specific siRNA. Mitochondrial morphology, DNM1L expression, cell viability, mitochondrial membrane potential, reactive oxygen species (ROS), apoptosis, inflammatory cytokine expression and autophagy were examined. The impact of mdivi-1 treatment on development and severity of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) was determined in mice. Up-regulated DNM1L expression was associated with reduced mitochondrial length in STs from patients with RA and increased RA severity. Inhibition of DNM1L in FLSs triggered mitochondrial depolarization, mitochondrial elongation, decreased cell viability, production of ROS, IL-8 and COX-2, and increased apoptosis. DNM1L deficiency inhibited IL-1β-mediated AKT/IKK activation, NF-κBp65 nuclear translocation and LC3B-related autophagy, but enhanced NFKBIA expression. Treatment of CIA mice with mdivi-1 decreased disease severity by modulating inflammatory cytokine and ROS production. Our major results are that up-regulated DNM1L and mitochondrial fission promoted survival, LC3B-related autophagy and ROS production in FLSs, factors that lead to inflammation by regulating AKT/IKK/NFKBIA/NF-κB signalling. Thus, inhibition of DNM1L may be a new strategy for treatment of RA.

Abstract
Mitochondria dynamic is regulated by different proteins, maintaining a balance between fission and fusion. An imbalance towards mitochondrial fission has been associated with tumor cell proliferation. The aim of this study was to analyze whether pectin modifies the viability of human colon cancer cells and the expression of proteins involved in mitochondrial fusion and fission. The human colon carcinoma cell line HT29 cells was growth in 10% fetal bovine serum in the absence and presence of pectin. Pectin reduced HT29 cell viability in a concentration-dependent manner, reaching a plateau at 150~300 μmol/L pectin. The presence of 200 μmol/L pectin reduced the expression of dynamin-related protein-1 and increased expression of the mitochondrial fusion-associated proteins mitofusin-1 and 2. Expression of cyclin B1, a protein involved in G2/M transition, was found decreased in pectin-incubated HT29 cells. Moreover, expression of p53 protein, the amount of p53 in the nucleous and β-galactosidase activity, which are all biomarkers for cellular senescence, were significantly higher in pectin-incubated HT29 cells than in HT29 cells incubated without pectin. Expression of the protein B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) homologous antagonist/killer was increased in response to incubation with pectin. However, incubation with pectin did not affect expression of Bcl-2-associated X protein or Bcl-2, or the caspase-3 activity. Overall, we concluded that pectin reduces the viability of human HT29 colon cancer cells, which is accompanied with a shift in the expression of proteins associated with mitochondrial dynamics towards mitochondrial fusion. Moreover, incubation with pectin favors cellular senescence over apoptosis in HT29 cells.

TRPV1 and TRPA1 in Lung Inflammation and Airway Hyperresponsiveness Induced by Fine Particulate Matter (PM 2.5). OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:7450151. [PMID: 31281589 PMCID: PMC6589236 DOI: 10.1155/2019/7450151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2018] [Revised: 04/02/2019] [Accepted: 04/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been associated with lung inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR). Transient receptor potential (TRP) vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) both may play important roles in lung inflammation and AHR. We investigated whether PM2.5-induced lung inflammation and AHR could be prevented by blocking TRPV1 and TRPA1 channels. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with AMG9810 (30 mg/kg, a TRPV1 antagonist) or A967079 (30 mg/kg, a TRPA1 antagonist) or their combination or vehicle (PBS) one hour before intranasal instillation of PM2.5 (7.8 mg/kg) or vehicle (PBS) for two consecutive days, and then the mice were studied 24 h later. All pretreatments inhibited PM2.5-induced AHR and inflammatory infiltration in the lung tissue and decreased inflammatory cytokine levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, together with oxidant levels in the lung. AMG9810 inhibited MFF expression and increased MFN2 expression while A967079 inhibited DRP1 expression and increased OPA1 expression; combined pretreatment reduced MFF and DPR1 expression and increased MFN2 and OPA1 expression. All pretreatments inhibited the activation of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway, while A967079 alone, and combined with AMG9810 also reduced the activation of the NLRP3/caspase-1 pathway. Both TRPV1 and TRPA1 channels play an important role in PM2.5-induced lung inflammation and AHR. However, inhibition of the TRPA1 channel or combined inhibition of TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels resulted in greater inhibitory effect on PM2.5-induced lung injury through regulating the mitochondrial fission/fusion proteins and inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB and NLRP3/caspase-1 pathways.

Abstract
Sulforaphane (SFN) is an active component extracted from vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli. Activation of the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) signaling is a common mechanism for the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activity of some herb-derived compounds, such as icariin and berberine. However, due to its peculiar ability in Nrf2 activation, SFN is recognized as an activator of Nrf2 and recommended as a supplementation for prevention and/or treatment of disorders like neoplasm and heart failure. In the central nervous system (CNS), the prophylactic and/or therapeutic effects of SFN have been revealed in recent years. For example, it has been reported to prevent the progression of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, cerebral ischemia, Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and psychiatric disorders via promotion of neurogenesis or inhibition of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. SFN is also implicated in reversing cognition, learning, and memory impairment in rodents induced by scopolamine, lipopolysaccharide, okadaic acid, and diabetes. In models of neurotoxicity, SFN has been shown to suppress neurotoxicity induced by a wide range of toxic factors, such as hydrogen peroxide, prion protein, hyperammonemia, and methamphetamine. To date, no consolidated source of knowledge about the pharmacological effects of SFN in the CNS has been presented in the literature. In this review, we summarize and discuss the pharmacological effects of SFN as well as their possible mechanisms in prevention and/or therapy of disorders afflicting the CNS, aiming to get a further insight into how SFN affects the pathophysiological process of CNS disorders.

Abstract
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), also known as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, is the most common inherited peripheral nerve disorder. Missense mutations, such as K141N, in the small heat shock protein HSPB8 are known to cause distal hereditary motor neuropathy 2A (dHMN2A) or Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 2L (CMT2L). However, of critical clinical significance, very few specific therapies for this disease exist. In the present study, we investigated the impact of mutant K141N HSPB8 on mitochondrial distribution and function in a cellular model of CMT2L. Our results indicate that K141N HSPB8 induced mitochondrial aggregation and caused increased oxidative stress injury. As an extraction from Chinese celery Apium graveolens Linn seeds, L-3-n-Butylphthalide (NBP), has been reported to exert many neuroprotective effects, we interrogated whether NBP could elicit a protective effect on the cell injury typically caused by HSPB8 K141N mutations. We found NBP could reverse the pathological processes induced by HSPB8 K141N mutation via an antioxidant effect, modulation of the Bax/Bcl-2 mitochondrial apoptotic and Nrf2 pathways. We propose a novel function of HSPB8, highlighting the consequence of the K141N pathogenic mutation. Furthermore, we suggest NBP may have promising therapeutic potential in the treatment of CMT2L.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with an increasing morbidity, mortality, and economic cost. Plaques formed by amyloid beta peptide (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tangles formed by microtubule-associated protein tau are two main characters of AD. Though previous studies have focused on Aβ and tau and got some progressions on their toxicity mechanisms, no significantly effective treatments targeting the Aβ and tau have been found. However, it is worth noting that mounting evidences showed that mitochondrial dysfunction is an early event during the process of AD pathologic changes. What is more, these studies also showed an obvious association between mitochondrial dysfunction and Aβ/tau toxicity. Furthermore, both genetic and environmental factors may increase the oxidative stress and the mitochondria are also the sensitive target of ROS, which may form a vicious feedback between mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, eventually resulting in deficient energy, synaptic failure, and cell death. This article reviews the previous related studies from different aspects and concludes the critical roles of mitochondrial dysfunction in AD, suggesting a different route to AD therapy, which may guide the research and treatment direction.
