Abstract
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 2 U.S. adults have hypertension, and more than 1 in 7 chronic kidney disease. In fact, hypertension is the second leading cause of kidney failure in the United States; it is a complex disease characterized by, leading to, and caused by renal dysfunction. It is well-established that hypertensive renal damage is accompanied by mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress, which are differentially regulated and manifested along the nephron due to the diverse structure and functions of renal cells. This article provides a summary of the relevant knowledge of mitochondrial bioenergetics and metabolism, focuses on renal mitochondrial function, and discusses the evidence that has been accumulated regarding the role of epithelial mitochondrial bioenergetics in the development of renal tissue dysfunction in hypertension. © 2024 American Physiological Society.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15601. [PMID: 37958585 PMCID: PMC10649976 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242115601] [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: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Exercise training (Ex) has anti-hypertensive and renal protective effects. In this study, we investigate the effects of Ex on mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism in the kidneys of Dahl salt-sensitive (Dahl-S) rats fed a high-salt (HS) diet. Eight-week-old, male Dahl-S rats were divided into three groups: (1) normal-salt diet, sedentary (NS-Sed), (2) HS diet, sedentary (HS-Sed), and (3) HS-Ex. The NS and HS groups were fed a diet containing 0.6% and 8% NaCl, respectively. The HS-Ex group performed treadmill running for 8 weeks (5 days/week; 60 min/day at 16-20 m/min, 0% gradient). Renal function and the expression of enzymes and regulators of β-oxidation and electron transport chain (ETC) complexes were assessed. HS increased systolic blood pressure and proteinuria, and Ex ameliorated these defects. HS also reduced creatinine clearance, and Ex ameliorated it. HS reduced the renal expression of enzymes of β-oxidation (carnitine palmitoyltransferase type I (CPTI) and acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (CADs)) and the related transcription factors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and PPARγ-coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), and Ex restored this. HS also reduced the renal expression of enzymes in ETC complexes, and Ex restored this expression. Ex ameliorates HS-induced renal damage by upregulating enzymes involved in fatty acid β-oxidation and ETC complexes via increases in PPAR-α and PGC-1α expressions in the kidneys of Dahl-S rats. These results suggest that Ex may have beneficial effects on HS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in the kidney.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Essential or primary hypertension (HT) is a worldwide health problem with no definitive cure. Although the exact pathogenesis of HT is not known, genetic factors, increased renin-angiotensin and sympathetic system activity, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation play a role in its development. Environmental factors such as sodium intake are also important for BP regulation, and excess sodium intake in the form of salt (NaCl, sodium chloride) increases blood pressure in salt-sensitive people. Excess salt intake increases extracellular volume, oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. Recent evidence suggests that increased salt intake also disturbs mitochondrial function both structurally and functionally which is important as mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with HT. In the current review, we have summarized the experimental and clinical data regarding the impact of salt intake on mitochondrial structure and function. RECENT FINDINGS Excess salt intake damage mitochondrial structure (e.g., shorter mitochondria with less cristae, increased mitochondrial fission, increased mitochondrial vacuolization). Functionally, high salt intake impairs mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport chain, ATP production, mitochondrial calcium homeostasis, mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial uncoupling protein function. Excess salt intake also increases mitochondrial oxidative stress and modifies Krebs cycle protein expressions. Studies have shown that high salt intake impairs mitochondrial structure and function. These maladaptive mitochondrial changes facilitate the development of HT especially in salt-sensitive individuals. High salt intake impairs many functional and structural components of mitochondria. These mitochondrial alterations along with increased salt intake promote the development of hypertension.

Abstract
Integrated computational modeling provides a mechanistic and quantitative framework to characterize alterations in mitochondrial respiration and bioenergetics in response to different metabolic substrates in-silico. These alterations play critical roles in the pathogenesis of diseases affecting metabolically active organs such as heart and kidney. Therefore, the present study aimed to develop and validate thermodynamically constrained integrated computational models of mitochondrial respiration and bioenergetics in the heart and kidney cortex and outer medulla (OM). The models incorporated the kinetics of major biochemical reactions and transport processes as well as regulatory mechanisms in the mitochondria of these tissues. Intrinsic model parameters such as Michaelis-Menten constants were fixed at previously estimated values, while extrinsic model parameters such as maximal reaction and transport velocities were estimated separately for each tissue. This was achieved by fitting the model solutions to our recently published respirometry data measured in isolated rat heart and kidney cortex and OM mitochondria utilizing various NADH- and FADH2-linked metabolic substrates. The models were validated by predicting additional respirometry and bioenergetics data, which were not used for estimating the extrinsic model parameters. The models were able to predict tissue-specific and substrate-dependent mitochondrial emergent metabolic system properties such as redox states, enzyme and transporter fluxes, metabolite concentrations, membrane potential, and respiratory control index under diverse physiological and pathological conditions. The models were also able to quantitatively characterize differential regulations of NADH- and FADH2-linked metabolic pathways, which contribute differently toward regulations of oxidative phosphorylation and ATP synthesis in the heart and kidney cortex and OM mitochondria.

Abstract
The kidneys are one of the main end organs targeted by hypertensive disease. Although the central role of the kidneys in the regulation of high blood pressure has been long recognized, the detailed mechanisms behind the pathophysiology of renal damage in hypertension remain a matter of investigation. Early renal biochemical alterations due to salt-induced hypertension in Dahl/salt-sensitive rats were monitored by Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) micro-imaging. Furthermore, FTIR was used to investigate the effects of proANP31–67, a linear fragment of pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, on the renal tissue of hypertensive rats. Different hypertension-induced alterations were detected in the renal parenchyma and blood vessels by the combination of FTIR imaging and principal component analysis on specific spectral regions. Changes in amino acids and protein contents observed in renal blood vessels were independent of altered lipid, carbohydrate, and glycoprotein contents in the renal parenchyma. FTIR micro-imaging was found to be a reliable tool for monitoring the remarkable heterogeneity of kidney tissue and its hypertension-induced alterations. In addition, FTIR detected a significant reduction in these hypertension-induced alterations in the kidneys of proANP31–67-treated rats, further indicating the high sensitivity of this cutting-edge imaging modality and the beneficial effects of this novel medication on the kidneys.

Abstract
A high-salt (HS) diet leads to metabolic disorders in Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats, and promotes the development of hypertension. According to the changes in the metabolites of SS rats, a set of combined dietary supplements containing amino acids and organic acids (AO) were designed. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of AO supplementation on the blood pressure of SS rats after the HS diet and clarify the mechanism of AO by metabolomics and biochemical analyses. The results showed that AO supplementation avoided the elevation of blood pressure induced by the HS diet in SS rats, increased the renal antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione S-transferase), reduced the H2O2 and MDA levels, and restored the normal antioxidant status of the serum and kidneys. AO also reversed the decrease in the nitric oxide (NO) levels and NO synthase activity induced by the HS feed, which involved the L-arginine/NO pathway. Metabolomics analysis showed that AO administration increased the levels of amino acids such as cysteine, glycine, hypotaurine, and lysine in the renal medulla and the levels of leucine, isoleucine, and serine in the renal cortex. Of note, lysine, hypotaurine and glycine had higher metabolic centrality in the metabolic correlation network of the renal medulla after AO administration. In conclusion, AO intervention could prevent HS diet-induced hypertension in SS rats by restoring the metabolic homeostasis of the kidneys. Hence, AO has the potential to become a functional food additive to improve salt-sensitive hypertension.

High-Salt Attenuates the Efficacy of Dapagliflozin in Tubular Protection by Impairing Fatty Acid Metabolism in Diabetic Kidney Disease. Front Pharmacol 2022; 12:741087.

Abstract
High-salt intake leads to kidney damage and even limits the effectiveness of drugs. However, it is unclear whether excessive intake of salt affects renal tubular energy metabolism and the efficacy of dapagliflozin on renal function in diabetic kidney disease (DKD). In this study, we enrolled 350 DKD patients and examined the correlation between sodium level and renal function, and analyzed influencing factors. The results demonstrated that patients with macroalbuminuria have higher 24 h urinary sodium levels. After establishment of type 2 diabetes mellitus model, the animals received a high-salt diet or normal-salt diet. In the presence of high-salt diet, the renal fibrosis was aggravated with fatty acid metabolism dysregulation. Furthermore, Na+/K+-ATPase expression was up-regulated in the renal tubules of diabetic mice, while the fatty acid metabolism was improved by inhibiting Na+/K+-ATPase of renal tubular epithelial cells. Of note, the administration with dapagliflozin improved renal fibrosis and enhanced fatty acid metabolism. But high salt weakened the above-mentioned renal protective effects of dapagliflozin in DKD. Similar results were recapitulated in vitro after incubating proximal tubular epithelial cells in high-glucose and high-salt medium. In conclusion, our results indicate that high salt can lead to fatty acid metabolism disorders by increasing Na+/K+-ATPase expression in the renal tubules of DKD. High salt intake diminishes the reno-protective effect of dapagliflozin in DKD.

Physiological Ovarian Aging Is Associated with Altered Expression of Post-Translational Modifications in Mice. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 23:ijms23010002. [PMID: 35008428 PMCID: PMC8744712 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23010002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Revised: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been confirmed to be involved in multiple female reproductive events, but their role in physiological ovarian aging is far from elucidated. In this study, mice aged 3, 12 or 17 months (3M, 12M, 17M) were selected as physiological ovarian aging models. The expression of female reproductive function-related genes, the global profiles of PTMs, and the level of histone modifications and related regulatory enzymes were examined during physiological ovarian aging in the mice by quantitative real-time PCR and western blot, respectively. The results showed that the global protein expression of Kbhb (lysineβ-hydroxybutyryllysine), Khib (lysine 2-hydroxyisobutyryllysine), Kglu (lysineglutaryllysine), Kmal (lysinemalonyllysine), Ksucc (lysinesuccinyllysine), Kcr (lysinecrotonyllysine), Kbu (lysinebutyryllysine), Kpr (lysinepropionyllysine), SUMO1 (SUMO1 modification), ub (ubiquitination), P-Typ (phosphorylation), and 3-nitro-Tyr (nitro-tyrosine) increased significantly as mice aged. Moreover, the modification level of Kme2 (lysinedi-methyllysine) and Kac (lysineacetyllysine) was the highest in the 3M mice and the lowest in 12M mice. In addition, only trimethylation of histone lysine was up-regulated progressively and significantly with increasing age (p < 0.001), H4 ubiquitination was obviously higher in the 12M and 17M mice than 3M (p < 0.001), whereas the modification of Kpr (lysinepropionylation) and O-GlcNA in 17M was significantly decreased compared with the level in 3M mice (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). Furthermore, the expression levels of the TIP60, P300, PRDM9, KMT5B, and KMT5C genes encoding PTM regulators were up-regulated in 17M compared to 3M female mice (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that altered related regulatory enzymes and PTMs are associated with physiological ovarian aging in mice, which is expected to provide useful insights for the delay of ovarian aging and the diagnosis and treatment of female infertility.

Effect of Mineral-Balanced Deep-Sea Water on Kidney Function and Renal Oxidative Stress Markers in Rats Fed a High-Salt Diet. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222413415.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of mineral-balanced deep-sea water (DSW) on kidney health using an animal model of kidney injury due to a high-sodium diet. High magnesium/low sodium (HMLS) and high magnesium/high calcium (HMHC) DSW samples with different mineral contents were prepared. Sprague–Dawley rats were fed an 8% sodium chloride (NaCl) diet for four weeks to induce kidney injury, and each group was supplied with purified water or mineral water. Kidney injury was observed in the NaCl group according to increased kidney injury markers and malondialdehydes, providing evidence of oxidative stress. However, the kidney injury was repaired by the intake of mineral-balanced DSW. It was confirmed that the HMLS and HMHC groups showed improved Na+ excretion through the urine. Kidney injury markers in urine decreased and upregulation of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein2 mRNA expression was observed in the HMLS and HMHC groups. In addition, superoxide dismutase activity was increased in the HMHC groups. The gene expression patterns of the RNA sequencing were similar between the CON and HMLS groups. These results suggest that DSW has beneficial effects on kidney health due to the balanced magnesium and calcium levels in models of kidney injury caused by excessive sodium intake.

Abstract
Background: The tricarboxylic (TCA) acid cycle provides the energy needed for regulatory functions in the cardio-renal system. Recently, a genetic defect in the TCA cycle enzyme, fumarase hydratase, altered L-arginine metabolism and exacerbated hypertension in salt-sensitive rats. This study evaluated the effect of fumarate and its possible link to L-arginine metabolism in deoxycorticosterone (DOCA)-salt hypertension, a non-genetic model of hypertension.Method: Hypertension was induced with DOCA (25 mg/kg s.c, twice weekly) + 1% NaCL in uninephrectomised rats placed on fumarate (1 g/L, ad libitum). Blood pressure was measured in conscious rats via carotid cannulation. Biochemical and western blot analyses were carried out on kidney fractions.Results: Fumarate reduced mean blood pressure (198 ± 5 vs 167 ± 7 mmHg, p < .01), increased nitric oxide levels in the renal cortex (36.1 ± 2 vs 61.3 ± 4 nM/µg) and medulla (27.4 ± 1 vs 54.1 ± 2 nM/µg) of DOCA-salt rats (p < .01). Consistent with this, arginase activity was reduced (threefold) in the renal medulla but not cortex of DOCA-salt rats. Fumarate increased superoxide dismutase activity in the medulla (p < .001) of DOCA-hypertensive rats. However, catalase activity was exacerbated by fumarate in both renal cortex (4.5 ± 1 vs 11.2 ± 1) and medulla (3.7 ± 1 vs 16.3 ± 1 units/mg) of DOCA-salt rats (p < .001). Proteinuria (64.6%), kidney injury molecule-1 expression and kidney weight were reduced in DOCA-hypertensive rats treated with fumarate (p< .05). However, there was a paradoxical increase in TGF-β expression in fumarate-treated DOCA-salt rats. Conclusion: These data show that fumarate attenuated hypertension, renal injury and improved the redox state of the kidney in DOCA/salt hypertension by mechanisms involving selective reduction of L-arginine metabolism.

Abstract
Amino acid metabolism plays an important role in controlling blood pressure by regulating the production of NO and ROS. The present study examined amino acid levels in the serum of Dahl SS rats and SS.13BN rats fed a low or high salt diet. We observed that 8 of 27 amino acids responded to a high salt diet in SS rats. Thus, we hypothesized that a defect in amino acids may contribute to the development of salt-induced hypertension. L-phenylalanine was used to treat SS rats with a low or high salt diet. The results demonstrated that L-phenylalanine supplementation significantly enhanced the serum nitrite levels and attenuated the high salt-induced hypertension in SS rats. Low levels of BH4 and nitrite and the impaired vascular response to acetylcholine were rescued by L-phenylalanine supplementation. Moreover, increased GTP cyclohydrolase (GCH1) mRNA, levels of BH4 and nitrite, and reduced superoxide production were observed in the kidneys of hypertensive SS rats with L-phenylalanine. The antihypertensive effects of L-phenylalanine might be mediated by enhancing BH4 biosynthesis and decreasing superoxide production from NO synthase, thereby protecting vascular and kidney function with reduced ROS and elevated NO levels. The present study demonstrated that L-phenylalanine supplementation restored vascular function, suggesting L-phenylalanine represented a potential target to attenuate high salt-sensitive hypertension through GCH1-BH4.

Abstract
Hypertension is a leading risk factor for disease burden worldwide. The kidneys, which have a high specific metabolic rate, play an essential role in the long-term regulation of arterial blood pressure. In this review, we discuss the emerging role of renal metabolism in the development of hypertension. Renal energy and substrate metabolism is characterized by several important and, in some cases, unique features. Recent advances suggest that alterations of renal metabolism may result from genetic abnormalities or serve initially as a physiological response to environmental stressors to support tubular transport, which may ultimately affect regulatory pathways and lead to unfavorable cellular and pathophysiological consequences that contribute to the development of hypertension.

High salt diet contributes to hypertension by weakening the medullary tricarboxylic acid cycle and antioxidant system in Dahl salt-sensitive rats. Biochimie 2020; 181:154-161. [PMID: 33347925 DOI: 10.1016/j.biochi.2020.12.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2020] [Revised: 12/04/2020] [Accepted: 12/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
High salt diet (HSD, 8% NaCl) contributes to salt-sensitive hypertension, this study aimed to determine the effect of HSD on salt-sensitive hypertension by combining proteomic with metabolomics methods. Salt-sensitive rats were fed on HSD and normal salt diet (NSD, 0.4% NaCl) for two weeks before further analysis. Proteomic analysis showed the differential expression proteins (DEPs) were primarily mapped in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)-cycle, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, and other pathways associated with multiple amino acids. HSD decreased the medullary activities and protein expression level of two key enzymes of TCA-cycle, MDH and NADP+-IDH. Metabolomics showed three serous TCA-cycle-associated compounds, including decreased malic acid, decreased citric acid, and increased fumaric acid were differentially detected, which resulted in a decrease in NO content and an increase in H2O2 content in serum. The content of GSH, GSH/GSSG ratio, and synthesis substrates of GSH-cysteine and glycine, were significantly decreased by HSD, thus attenuated the antioxidant system in the renal medulla. HSD enhanced the medullary pentose phosphate pathway, which finally increased the concentration of NADPH and NADP+, NADPH/NADP+, and the activity of NADPH oxidase in the renal medulla. Additionally, HSD enhanced the glycolysis pathway in the renal medulla. In summary, HSD significantly weakened the TCA cycle, and attenuated the antioxidant system in the renal medulla, which finally contributed to salt-sensitive hypertension.

Perinatal iron deficiency and a high salt diet cause long-term kidney mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Cardiovasc Res 2020; 116:183-192. [PMID: 30715197 DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvz029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2018] [Revised: 01/08/2019] [Accepted: 01/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Perinatal iron deficiency (ID) alters developmental trajectories of offspring, predisposing them to cardiovascular dysfunction in later life. The mechanisms underlying this long-term programming of renal function have not been defined. We hypothesized perinatal ID causes hypertension and alters kidney metabolic function and morphology in a sex-dependent manner in adult offspring. Furthermore, we hypothesized these effects are exacerbated by chronic consumption of a high salt diet. METHODS AND RESULTS Pregnant Sprague Dawley rats were fed either an iron-restricted or replete diet prior to and throughout pregnancy. Adult offspring were fed normal or high salt diets for 6 weeks prior to experimentation at 6 months of age. Blood pressure (BP) was assessed via indwelling catheters in anaesthetized offspring; kidney mitochondrial function was assessed via high-resolution respirometry; reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide were quantified via fluorescence microscopy. Adult males, but not females, exhibited increased systolic BP due to ID (P = 0.01) and high salt intake (P = 0.02). In males, but not in females, medullary mitochondrial content was increased by high salt (P = 0.003), while succinate-dependent respiration was reduced by ID (P < 0.05). The combination of perinatal ID and high salt reduced complex IV activity in the cortex of males (P = 0.01). Perinatal ID increased cytosolic superoxide generation (P < 0.001) concomitant with reduced nitric oxide bioavailability (P < 0.001) in male offspring, while high salt increased mitochondrial superoxide in the medulla (P = 0.04) and cytosolic superoxide within the cortex (P = 0.01). Male offspring exhibited glomerular basement membrane thickening (P < 0.05), increased collagen deposition (P < 0.05), and glomerular hypertrophy (interaction, P = 0.02) due to both perinatal ID and high salt. Female offspring exhibited no alterations in mitochondrial function or morphology due to either high salt or ID. CONCLUSION Perinatal ID causes long-term sex-dependent alterations in renal metabolic function and morphology, potentially contributing to hypertension and increased cardiovascular disease risk.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 104:6767-6777. [PMID: 32533305 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-020-10718-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2020] [Revised: 05/19/2020] [Accepted: 06/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
High temperature is a major threat to Pleurotus ostreatus cultivation. In this study, a potential mechanism by which P. ostreatus mycelia growth is inhibited under heat stress was explored. Lactate, as a microbial fermentation product, was found unexpectedly in the mycelia of P. ostreatus under heat stress, and the time-dependent accumulation and corresponding inhibitory effect of lactate on mycelial growth was further confirmed. The addition of a glycolysis inhibitor, 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG), reduced the lactate content in mycelia and slightly restored mycelial growth under high-temperature conditions, which indicated the accumulation of lactate can be inhibited by glycolysis inhibition. Further data revealed mitochondrial dysfunction under high-temperature conditions, with evidence of decreased oxygen consumption and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis and increased reactive oxygen species (ROS). The removal of ROS with ascorbic acid decreased the lactate content, and mycelial growth recovered to a certain extent, indicating lactate accumulation could be affected by the mitochondrial ROS. Moreover, metabolic data showed that glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle were enhanced. This study reported the accumulation of lactate in P. ostreatus mycelia under heat stress and the inhibitory effect of lactate on the growth of mycelia, which might provide further insights into the stress response mechanism of edible fungi. Key Points • Lactate can accumulate in Pleurotus ostreatus mycelia under heat stress and inhibit its growth. • The accumulation of lactate may be due to the acceleration of glycolysis and the dysfunction of mitochondria of P. ostreatus mycelia under high-temperature stress. • The glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle of P. ostreatus mycelia were accelerated under high-temperature stress.

Abstract
DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), converted from 5-methylcytosine (5mC), is highly enriched in the central nervous system and is dynamically regulated during neural development and metabolic disorders. However, whether and how neural 5hmC is involved in metabolic disorders shows little evidence. In this study, significant downregulation of the DNA 5hmC were observed in the cerebral cortex of HFD-induced diabetic mice, while phosphated AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK) and ten-eleven translocation 2 (TET2) reduced, and mitochondrial dysfunction. We futher demonstrated that dysregulation of 5hmC preceded mitochondrial dysfunction in palmitic acid-treated HT22 cells and decreased level of 5hmC led to mitochondrial respiratory activity and apoptosis in HT22 cells. Taken together, our results reveal that neural 5hmC undergoes remodeling during HFD-induced metabolic disorder, and 5hmC downregulation significantly impacts on mitochondrial respiration and cell apoptosis. This study suggests a novel link between metabolic disorder and neural impairment through neural DNA 5hmC remodeling and resultant mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Salt-sensitive (SS) hypertension is accompanied with an early onset of proteinuria, which results from the loss of glomerular podocytes. Here, we hypothesized that glomerular damage in the SS hypertension occurs in part due to mitochondria dysfunction, and we used a unique model of freshly isolated glomeruli to test this hypothesis. In order to mimic SS hypertension, we used Dahl SS rats, an established animal model. Animals were fed a 0.4% NaCl (normal salt, NS) diet or challenged with a high salt (HS) 4% NaCl diet for 21 days to induce an increase in blood pressure (BP). Similar to previous studies, we found that HS diet caused renal hypertrophy, increased BP, glomerulosclerosis, and renal lesions such as fibrosis and protein casts. We did not observe changes in mitochondrial biogenesis in the renal cortex or isolated glomeruli fractions. However, Seahorse assay performed on freshly isolated glomeruli revealed that basal mitochondrial respiration, maximal respiration, and spare respiratory capacity were lower in the HS compared to the NS group. Using confocal imaging and staining for mitochondrial H2O2 using mitoPY1, we detected an intensified response to an acute H2O2 application in the podocytes of the glomeruli isolated from the HS diet fed group. TEM analysis showed that glomerular mitochondria from the HS diet fed group have structural abnormalities (swelling, enlargement, less defined cristae). Therefore, we report that glomerular mitochondria in SS hypertension are functionally and structurally defective, and this impairment could eventually lead to loss of podocytes and proteinuria. Thus, the glomerular–mitochondria axis can be targeted in novel treatment strategies for hypertensive glomerulosclerosis.

High ratio of ω-3/ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids targets mTORC1 to prevent high-fat diet-induced metabolic syndrome and mitochondrial dysfunction in mice. J Nutr Biochem 2020; 79:108330. [PMID: 32179408 DOI: 10.1016/j.jnutbio.2019.108330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2019] [Revised: 11/29/2019] [Accepted: 12/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Adjusting ω-3/ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) ratio in high-fat diet is one potential mean to improve metabolic syndrome; however, underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Four groups of mice were fed 60% kcal diets with saturated fatty acids, three different ω-3/ω-6 PUFAs ratios (low, middle and high) for 12 weeks, respectively. Body weight, atherosclerosis marker, insulin signal index and level of lipid accumulation in liver were significantly lowered in High group compared with saturated fatty acids group and Low group at week 12. Expressions of p-mTOR and raptor were inhibited by high ω-3 PUFAs. Importantly, ω-3 PUFAs intake up-regulated mitochondrial electron transport chain and tricarboxylic acid cycle pathway through metabolomics analysis in liver. Mitochondrial complexes activities were raised, fumaric acid was reduced and oxidative stress was alleviated in High group. We conclude that consuming long-term high-fat diet with same calories but high ω-3/ω-6 PUFAs ratio relieves metabolic syndrome by regulating mTORC1 pathway to enhance mitochondrial function.
