[PMID: 38510247 PMCID: PMC10953916 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1375143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024] Open
Abstract
This comprehensive review delves into the complex interplay between mitochondrial gene defects and pancreatic cancer pathogenesis through a multiomics approach. By amalgamating data from genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic studies, we dissected the mechanisms by which mitochondrial genetic variations dictate cancer progression. Emphasis has been placed on the roles of these genes in altering cellular metabolic processes, signal transduction pathways, and immune system interactions. We further explored how these findings could refine therapeutic interventions, with a particular focus on precision medicine applications. This analysis not only fills pivotal knowledge gaps about mitochondrial anomalies in pancreatic cancer but also paves the way for future investigations into personalized therapy options. This finding underscores the crucial nexus between mitochondrial genetics and oncological immunology, opening new avenues for targeted cancer treatment strategies.

Da W, Jiang W, Tao L. ROS/MMP-9 mediated CS degradation in BMSC inhibits citric acid metabolism participating in the dual regulation of bone remodelling. Cell Death Discov 2024; 10:77. [PMID: 38355572 PMCID: PMC10866869 DOI: 10.1038/s41420-024-01835-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
It is necessary to figure out the abnormal energy metabolites at the cellular level of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) bone microenvironment. In this study, we constructed PMOP model by ovariectomy and identified 9 differential metabolites compared with control femur by energy metabolomic. The enrichment analysis of differential metabolites revealed that tricarboxylic acid cycle, glucagon pathway and purinergic signaling pathway were the main abnormal metabolic processes. Citric acid was identified as the key metabolite by constructing compound reaction-enzyme-gene network. The functional annotation of citric acid targets identified by network pharmacological tools indicated that matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) may be involved in regulating citric acid metabolism in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC). Molecular docking shows that the interaction forces between MMP-9 and citric acid synthase (CS) is -638, and there are multiple groups of residues used to form hydrogen bonds. Exogenous H2O2 promotes the expression of MMP-9 in BMSC to further degrade CS resulting in a decrease in mitochondrial citric acid synthesis, which leads to the disorder of bone remodeling by two underlying mechanisms ((1) the decreased histone acetylation inhibits the osteogenic differentiation potential of BMSC; (2) the decreased bone mineralization by citric acid deposition). MMP-9-specific inhibitor (MMP-9-IN-1) could significantly improve the amount of CS in BMSC to promote cellular citric acid synthesis, and further enhance bone remodeling. These findings suggest inhibiting the degradation of CS by MMP-9 to promote the net production of citric acid in osteogenic differentiation of BMSC may be a new direction of PMOP research.

Abstract
In recent decades, the mechanism underlying bone metabolic disorders based on energy metabolism has been heavily researched. Bone resorption by osteoclasts plays an important role in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis. However, the mechanism underlying the osteoclast energy metabolism disorder that interferes with bone homeostasis has not been determined. Bone resorption by osteoclasts is a process that consumes large amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) produced by glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation. In addition to glucose, fatty acids and amino acids can also be used as substrates to produce energy through oxidative phosphorylation. In this review, we summarize and analyze the energy-based phenotypic changes, epigenetic regulation, and coupling with systemic energy metabolism of osteoclasts during the development and progression of osteoporosis. At the same time, we propose a hypothesis, the compensatory recovery mechanism (involving the balance between osteoclast survival and functional activation), which may provide a new approach for the treatment of osteoporosis.
