Abstract
HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy alter mitochondrial function, which can progressively lead to mitochondrial damage and accelerated aging. The interaction between persistent HIV reservoirs and mitochondria may provide insight into the relatively high rates of cardiovascular disease and mortality in persons living with HIV. In this review, we explore the intricate relationship between HIV and mitochondrial function, highlighting the potential for novel therapeutic strategies in the context of cardiovascular diseases. We reflect on mitochondrial dynamics, mitochondrial DNA, and mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein in the context of HIV. Furthermore, we summarize how toxicities related to early antiretroviral therapy and current highly active antiretroviral therapy can contribute to mitochondrial dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and poor clinical outcomes. There is a need to understand the mechanisms and develop new targeted therapies. We further consider current and potential future therapies for HIV and their interplay with mitochondria. We reflect on the next-generation antiretroviral therapies and HIV cure due to the direct and indirect effects of HIV persistence, associated comorbidities, coinfections, and the advancement of interdisciplinary research fields. This includes exploring novel and creative approaches to target mitochondria for therapeutic intervention.

Protective Role of MAVS Signaling for Murine Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Kidney Injury. Immunohorizons 2024; 8:1-18.

Abstract
Despite treatment advances, acute kidney injury (AKI)-related mortality rates are still high in hospitalized adults, often due to sepsis. Sepsis and AKI could synergistically worsen the outcomes of critically ill patients. TLR4 signaling and mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) signaling are innate immune responses essential in kidney diseases, but their involvement in sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) remains unclear. We studied the role of MAVS in kidney injury related to the TLR4 signaling pathway using a murine LPS-induced AKI model in wild-type and MAVS-knockout mice. We confirmed the importance of M1 macrophage in SA-AKI through in vivo assessment of inflammatory responses. The TLR4 signaling pathway was upregulated in activated bone marrow-derived macrophages, in which MAVS helped maintain the LPS-suppressed TLR4 mRNA level. MAVS regulated redox homeostasis via NADPH oxidase Nox2 and mitochondrial reverse electron transport in macrophages to alleviate the TLR4 signaling response to LPS. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and AP-1 were key regulators of TLR4 transcription and connected MAVS-dependent reactive oxygen species signaling with the TLR4 pathway. Inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase could partly reduce inflammation in LPS-treated bone marrow-derived macrophages without MAVS. These findings highlight the renoprotective role of MAVS in LPS-induced AKI by regulating reactive oxygen species generation-related genes and maintaining redox balance. Controlling redox homeostasis through MAVS signaling may be a promising therapy for SA-AKI.

Costunolide ameliorates angiotensin II-induced atrial inflammation and fibrosis by regulating mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in mice: A possible therapeutic approach for atrial fibrillation. Microvasc Res 2024; 151:104600. [PMID: 37666318 DOI: 10.1016/j.mvr.2023.104600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a cardiac disease characterized by disordered atrial electrical activity. Atrial inflammation and fibrosis are involved in AF progression. Costunolide (COS) is a sesquiterpene lactone containing anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activities. This study aims to explore the underlying mechanisms by which COS protects against AF. Male C57BL/6 mice (8- to 10-week-old) were infused with angiotensin (Ang) II for 3 weeks. Meanwhile, different doses of COS (COS-L: 10 mg/kg, COS-H: 20 mg/kg) were administered to mice by intragastric treatment. The results showed irregular and rapid heart rates in Ang II-treated mice. Moreover, the levels of inflammatory cytokines and fibrotic factors were elevated in mice. COS triggered a reduction of Ang II-induced inflammation and fibrosis, which conferred a protective effect. Mechanistically, mitochondrial dysfunction with mitochondrial respiration inhibition and aberrant ATP levels were observed after Ang II treatment. Moreover, Ang-II-induced excessive reactive oxygen species caused oxidative stress, which was further aggravated by inhibiting Nrf2 nuclear translocation. Importantly, COS diminished these Ang-II-mediated effects in mice. In conclusion, COS attenuated inflammation and fibrosis in Ang-II-treated mice by alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Our findings represent a potential therapeutic option for AF treatment.

Developing Pharmacological Therapies for Atrial Fibrillation Targeting Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Oxidative Stress: A Scoping Review. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 25:535. [PMID: 38203704 PMCID: PMC10779389 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25010535] [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: 11/18/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a cardiac arrhythmia caused by electrophysiological anomalies in the atrial tissue, tissue degradation, structural abnormalities, and comorbidities. A direct relationship exists between AF and altered mitochondrial activity resulting from membrane potential loss, contractile dysfunction, or decreased ATP levels. This review aimed to elucidate the role of mitochondrial oxidative mechanisms in AF pathophysiology, the impact of mitochondrial oxidative stress on AF initiation and perpetuation, and current therapies. This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and the Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews. PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database, and Scopus were explored until June 2023 using "MESH terms". Bibliographic references to relevant papers were also included. Oxidative stress is an imbalance that causes cellular damage from excessive oxidation, resulting in conditions such as AF. An imbalance in reactive oxygen species production and elimination can cause mitochondrial damage, cellular apoptosis, and cardiovascular diseases. Oxidative stress and inflammation are intrinsically linked, and inflammatory pathways are highly correlated with the occurrence of AF. AF is an intricate cardiac condition that requires innovative therapeutic approaches. The involvement of mitochondrial oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of AF introduces novel strategies for clinical treatment.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease which leads to the formation of immune complex deposits in multiple organs and has heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Currently, exosomes for liquid biopsy have been applied in diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, whereas SLE discrimination based on exosomes at the metabolic level is rarely reported. Herein, we constructed a protocol for metabolomic study of urinary exosomes from SLE patients and healthy controls (HCs) with high efficiency and throughput. Exosomes were first obtained by high-performance liquid size-exclusion chromatography (HPL-SEC), and then metabolic fingerprints of urinary exosomes were extracted by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) with high throughput and high efficency. With the statistical analysis by orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) model, SLE patients were efficiently distinguished from HCs, the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver characteristic curve (ROC) was 1.00, and the accuracy of the unsupervised clustering heatmap was 90.32%. In addition, potential biomarkers and related metabolic pathways were analyzed. This method, with the characteristics of high throughput, high efficiency, and high accuracy, will provide the broad prospect of exosome-driven precision medicine and large-scale screening in clinical applications.

Abstract
Mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) is a key innate immune adaptor on the outer mitochondrial membrane that acts as a switch in the immune signal transduction response to viral infections. Some studies have reported that MAVS mediates NF-κB and type I interferon signaling during viral infection and is also required for optimal NLRP3 inflammasome activity. Recent studies have reported that MAVS is involved in various cancers, systemic lupus erythematosus, kidney diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Herein, we summarize the structure, activation, pathophysiological roles, and MAVS-based therapies for renal diseases. This review provides novel insights into MAVS's role and therapeutic potential in the pathogenesis of renal diseases.
