Lin X, Liu W, Hu X, Liu Z, Wang F, Wang J. The role of polyphenols in modulating mitophagy: Implications for therapeutic interventions. Pharmacol Res 2024; 207:107324. [PMID: 39059613 DOI: 10.1016/j.phrs.2024.107324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
This review rigorously assesses the burgeoning research into the role of polyphenols in modulating mitophagy, an essential cellular mechanism for the targeted removal of impaired mitochondria. These natural compounds, known for their low toxicity, are underscored for their potential in therapeutic strategies against a diverse array of diseases, such as neurodegenerative, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal disorders. The analysis penetrates deeply into the molecular mechanisms whereby polyphenols promote mitophagy, particularly by influencing crucial signaling pathways and transcriptional regulators, including the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/parkin and forkhead box O3 (FOXO3a) pathways. Noteworthy discoveries include the neuroprotective properties of resveratrol and curcumin, which affect both autophagic pathways and mitochondrial dynamics, and the pioneering integration of polyphenols with other natural substances to amplify therapeutic effectiveness. Furthermore, the review confronts the issue of polyphenol bioavailability and emphasizes the imperative for clinical trials to corroborate their therapeutic viability. By delivering an exhaustive synthesis of contemporary insights and recent advancements in polyphenol and mitophagy research, this review endeavors to catalyze additional research and foster the creation of innovative therapeutic modalities that exploit the distinctive attributes of polyphenols to manage and prevent disease.

Abstract
Despite extensive progress in the knowledge and understanding of cardiovascular diseases and significant advances in pharmacological treatments and procedural interventions, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the leading cause of death globally. Mitochondrial dynamics refers to the repetitive cycle of fission and fusion of the mitochondrial network. Fission and fusion balance regulate mitochondrial shape and influence physiology, quality and homeostasis. Mitophagy is a process that eliminates aberrant mitochondria. Melatonin (Mel) is a pineal-synthesized hormone with a range of pharmacological properties. Numerous nonclinical trials have demonstrated that Mel provides cardioprotection against ischemia/reperfusion, cardiomyopathies, atherosclerosis and cardiotoxicity. Recently, interest has grown in how mitochondrial dynamics contribute to melatonin cardioprotective effects. This review assesses the literature on the protective effects of Mel against CVD via the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy in both in-vivo and in-vitro studies. The signalling pathways underlying its cardioprotective effects were reviewed. Mel modulated mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy proteins by upregulation of mitofusin, inhibition of DRP1 and regulation of mitophagy-related proteins. The evidence supports a significant role of Mel in mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy quality control in CVD.

Corosolic acid attenuates cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury through the PHB2/PINK1/parkin/mitophagy pathway. iScience 2024; 27:110448.

Abstract
Despite advances in treatment, myocardial infarction remains the leading cause of heart failure and death worldwide, and the restoration of coronary blood flow can also cause heart damage. In this study, we found that corosolic acid (CA), also known as plant insulin, significantly protects the heart from ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. In addition, CA can inhibit oxidative stress and improve mitochondrial structure and function in cardiomyocytes. Subsequently, our study demonstrated that CA improved the expression of the mitophagy-related proteins Prohibitin 2 (PHB2), PTEN-induced putative kinase protein-1 (PINK1), and Parkin. Meanwhile, through molecular docking, we found an excellent binding between CA and PHB2 protein. Finally, the knockdown of PHB2 eliminated the protective effect of CA on hypoxia-reoxygenation in cardiomyocytes. Taken together, our study reveals that CA increases mitophagy in cardiomyocytes via the PHB2/PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway, inhibits oxidative stress response, and maintains mitochondrial function, thereby improving cardiac function after I/R.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction is a cardiovascular disease characterized by a high incidence rate and mortality. It leads to various cardiac pathophysiological changes, including ischemia/reperfusion injury, inflammation, fibrosis, and ventricular remodeling, which ultimately result in heart failure and pose a significant threat to global health. Although clinical reperfusion therapies and conventional pharmacological interventions improve emergency survival rates and short-term prognoses, they are still limited in providing long-lasting improvements in cardiac function or reversing pathological progression. Recently, cardiac patches have gained considerable attention as a promising therapy for myocardial infarction. These patches consist of scaffolds or loaded therapeutic agents that provide mechanical reinforcement, synchronous electrical conduction, and localized delivery within the infarct zone to promote cardiac restoration. This review elucidates the pathophysiological progression from myocardial infarction to heart failure, highlighting therapeutic targets and various cardiac patches. The review considers the primary scaffold materials, including synthetic, natural, and conductive materials, and the prevalent fabrication techniques and optimal properties of the patch, as well as advanced delivery strategies. Last, the current limitations and prospects of cardiac patch research are considered, with the goal of shedding light on innovative products poised for clinical application.

PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 128:155472. [PMID: 38461630 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2024.155472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, imposing an enormous economic burden on individuals and human society. Laboratory studies have identified several drugs that target mitophagy for the prevention and treatment of CVD. Only a few of these drugs have been successful in clinical trials, and most studies have been limited to animal and cellular models. Furthermore, conventional drugs used to treat CVD, such as antiplatelet agents, statins, and diuretics, often result in adverse effects on patients' cardiovascular, metabolic, and respiratory systems. In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has gained significant attention for its unique theoretical basis and clinical efficacy in treating CVD. PURPOSE This paper systematically summarizes all the herbal compounds, extracts, and active monomers used to target mitophagy for the treatment of CVD in the last five years. It provides valuable information for researchers in the field of basic cardiovascular research, pharmacologists, and clinicians developing herbal medicines with fewer side effects, as well as a useful reference for future mitophagy research. METHODS The search terms "cardiovascular disease," "mitophagy," "herbal preparations," "active monomers," and "cardiac disease pathogenesis" in combination with "natural products" and "diseases" were used to search for studies published in the past five years until January 2024. RESULTS Studies have shown that mitophagy plays a significant role in the progression and development of CVD, such as atherosclerosis (AS), heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI), myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI), cardiac hypertrophy, cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmia. Herbal compound preparations, crude extracts, and active monomers have shown potential as effective treatments for these conditions. These substances protect cardiomyocytes by inducing mitophagy, scavenging damaged mitochondria, and maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. They display notable efficacy in combating CVD. CONCLUSION TCM (including herbal compound preparations, extracts, and active monomers) can treat CVD through various pharmacological mechanisms and signaling pathways by inducing mitophagy. They represent a hotspot for future cardiovascular basic research and a promising candidate for the development of future cardiovascular drugs with fewer side effects and better therapeutic efficacy.

Front Pharmacol 2024; 15:1389953.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a serious public health risk, and prevention and treatment efforts are urgently needed. Effective preventive and therapeutic programs for cardiovascular disease are still lacking, as the causes of CVD are varied and may be the result of a multifactorial combination. Mitophagy is a form of cell-selective autophagy, and there is increasing evidence that mitophagy is involved in cardioprotective processes. Recently, many studies have shown that FUN14 domain-containing protein 1 (FUNDC1) levels and phosphorylation status are highly associated with many diseases, including heart disease. Here, we review the structure and functions of FUNDC1 and the path-ways of its mediated mitophagy, and show that mitophagy can be effectively activated by dephosphorylation of Ser13 and Tyr18 sites, phosphorylation of Ser17 site and ubiquitination of Lys119 site in FUNDC1. By effectively activating or inhibiting excessive mitophagy, the quality of mitochondria can be effectively controlled. The main reason is that, on the one hand, improper clearance of mitochondria and accumulation of damaged mitochondria are avoided, and on the other hand, excessive mitophagy causing apoptosis is avoided, both serving to protect the heart. In addition, we explore the possible mechanisms by which FUNDC1-mediated mitophagy is involved in exercise preconditioning (EP) for cardioprotection. Finally, we also point out unresolved issues in FUNDC1 and its mediated mitophagy and give directions where further research may be needed.

Abstract
High salt can induce cardiac damage. The aim of this present study was to explore the effect and the mechanism of microRNA (miR)-142-3p on the cardiac fibrosis induced by high salt. Rats received high salt diet to induce cardiac fibrosis in vivo, and neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (NRCF) treated with sodium chloride (NaCl) to induce fibrosis in vitro. The fibrosis and mitochondrial autophagy levels were increased the heart and NRCF treated with NaCl, which were alleviated by miR-142-3p upregulation. The fibrosis and mitochondrial autophagy levels were elevated in NRCF after treating with miR-142-3p antagomiR. Optineurin (OPTN) expression was increased in the mitochondria of NRCF induced by NaCl, which was attenuated by miR-142-3p agomiR. OPTN downregulation inhibited the increases of fibrosis and mitochondrial autophagy levels induced by NaCl in NRCF. These results miR-142-3p could alleviate high salt-induced cardiac fibrosis via downregulation of OPTN to reduce mitophagy.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury is reduced by cardioprotective adaptations such as local or remote ischemic conditioning. The cardioprotective stimuli activate signaling cascades, which converge on mitochondria and maintain the function of the organelles, which is critical for cell survival. The signaling cascades include not only extracellular molecules that activate sarcolemmal receptor-dependent or -independent protein kinases that signal at the plasma membrane or in the cytosol, but also involve kinases, which are located to or within mitochondria, phosphorylate mitochondrial target proteins, and thereby modify, e.g., respiration, the generation of reactive oxygen species, calcium handling, mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy, or apoptosis. In the present review, we give a personal and opinionated overview of selected protein kinases, localized to/within myocardial mitochondria, and summarize the available data on their role in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and protection from it. We highlight the regulation of mitochondrial function by these mitochondrial protein kinases.

Abstract
Mitochondrial encephalopathy is a neurological disorder caused by impaired mitochondrial function and energy production. One of the genetic causes of this condition is the mutation of MT-TN, a gene that encodes the mitochondrial transfer RNA (tRNA) for asparagine. MT-TN mutations affect the stability and structure of the tRNA, resulting in reduced protein synthesis and complex enzymatic deficiency of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Our patient cohort manifests with epileptic encephalopathy, ataxia, hypotonia, and bilateral basal ganglia calcification, which differs from previously reported cases. MT-TN mutation deficiency leads to decreased basal and maximal oxygen consumption rates, disrupted spare respiratory capacity, declined mitochondrial membrane potential, and impaired ATP production. Moreover, MT-TN mutations promote mitophagy, a process of selective degradation of damaged mitochondria by autophagy. Excessive mitophagy further leads to mitochondrial biogensis as a compensatory mechanism. In this study, we provided evidence of pathogenicity for two MT-TN mutations, m.5688 T > C and m.G5691A, explored the molecular mechanisms, and summarized the clinical manifestations of MT-TN mutations. Our study expanded the genotype and phenotypic spectrum and provided new insight into mt-tRNA (Asn)-associated mitochondrial encephalopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rhein, which has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory response properties, is a beneficial treatment for different pathologies. However, the mechanism by which rhein protects against myocardial ischemic injury is poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS To establish an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rat model, we performed left anterior descending (LAD) ligation. Sprague‒Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham, AMI, AMI + rhein (AMI + R), and AMI + mitochondrial fission inhibitor (AMI + M). The extent of myocardial injury was evaluated by TTC staining, serum myocardial injury markers, and HE and Masson staining. Cardiac mitochondria ultrastructure was visualized by transmission electron microscopy. TUNEL assay and flow cytometry analysis were used to estimate cell apoptosis. Protein expression levels were measured by Western blotting. In vitro, the efficacy of rhein was assessed in H9c2 cells under hypoxic condition. Our results revealed that rats with AMI exhibited increased infarct size and indicators of myocardial damage, along with activation of Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fission, decreased mitophagy and increased apoptosis rates. However, pretreatment with rhein significantly reversed these effects and demonstrated similar efficacy to Mdivi-1. Furthermore, rhein pretreatment protected against myocardial ischemic injury by inhibiting mitochondrial fission, as evidenced by decreased Drp1 expression. It also enhanced mitophagy, as indicated by increased expression of Beclin1, Pink1 and Parkin, an increased LC3-II/LC3-I ratio and increased formation of autolysosomes. Additionally, rhein pretreatment mitigated apoptosis in AMI. These results were also confirmed in vitro in H9c2 cells. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate that rhein pretreatment exerts cardioprotective effects against myocardial ischemic injury via the Drp1/Pink1/Parkin pathway.

Abstract
Aims Autophagy plays a significant role in the development of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and cardiomyocyte autophagy is of major importance in maintaining cardiac function. We aimed to identify key genes associated with autophagy in AMI through bioinformatics analysis and verify them through clinical validation. Materials and Methods We downloaded an AMI expression profile dataset GSE166780 from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Autophagy-associated genes potentially differentially expressed in AMI were screened using R software. Then, to identify key autophagy-related genes, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, and correlation analysis were performed on the differentially expressed autophagy-related genes in AMI. Finally, we used quantificational real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) to verify the RNA expression of the screened key genes. Results TSC2, HSPA8, and HIF1A were screened out as key autophagy-related genes. qRT-PCR results showed that the expression levels of HSPA8 and TSC2 in AMI blood samples were lower, while the expression level of HIF1A was higher than that in the healthy controls. Conclusions TSC2, HSPA8, and HIF1A were identified as key autophagy-related genes in this study. They may influence the development of AMI through autophagy. These findings may help deepen our understanding of AMI and may be useful for the treatment of AMI.

Exploring the therapeutic potential of Sirt6-enriched adipose stem cell-derived exosomes in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury: unfolding new epigenetic frontiers. Clin Epigenetics 2024; 16:7. [PMID: 38172884 PMCID: PMC10765803 DOI: 10.1186/s13148-023-01618-2] [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: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) presents continuous therapeutic challenges. NAD-dependent deacetylase Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6) plays distinct roles in various disease contexts and is hence investigated for potential therapeutic applications for MIRI. This study aimed to examine the impact of Sirt6-overexpressing exosomes derived from adipose stem cells (S-ASC-Exo) on MIRI, focusing on their influence on AIM2-pyroptosis and mitophagy processes. The sirtuin family of proteins, particularly Sirtuin 6 (Sirt6), play a pivotal role in these processes. This study aimed to explore the potential therapeutic effects of Sirt6-enriched exosomes derived from adipose stem cells (S-ASC-Exo) on regulating MIRI. RESULTS Bioinformatic analysis revealed a significant downregulation of Sirt6 in MIRI subjected to control group, causing a consequential increase in mitophagy and pyroptosis regulator expressions. Therefore, our study revealed that Sirt6-enriched exosomes influenced the progression of MIRI through the regulation of target proteins AIM2 and GSDMD, associated with pyroptosis, and p62 and Beclin-1, related to mitophagy. The introduction of S-ASC-Exo inhibited AIM2-pyroptosis while enhancing mitophagy. Consequently, this led to a significant reduction of GSDMD cleavage and pyroptosis in endothelial cells, catalyzing a deceleration in the progression of atherosclerosis. Extensive in vivo and in vitro assays were performed to validate the expressions of these specific genes and proteins, which affirmed the dynamic modulation by Sirt6-enriched exosomes. Furthermore, treatment with S-ASC-Exo drastically ameliorated cardiac functions and limited infarct size, underlining their cardioprotective attributes. CONCLUSIONS Our study underscores the potential therapeutic role of Sirt6-enriched exosomes in managing MIRI. We demonstrated their profound cardioprotective effect, evident in the enhanced cardiac function and attenuated tissue damage, through the strategic modulation of AIM2-pyroptosis and mitophagy. Given the intricate interplay between Sirt6 and the aforementioned processes, a comprehensive understanding of these pathways is essential to fully exploit the therapeutic potential of Sirt6. Altogether, our findings indicate the promise of Sirt6-enriched exosomes as a novel therapeutic strategy in treating ischemia-reperfusion injuries and cardiovascular diseases at large. Future research needs to underscore optimizing the balance of mitophagy during myocardial ischemia to avoid potential loss of normal myocytes.

Abstract
The present review summarizes the beneficial and detrimental roles of reactive oxygen species in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardioprotection. In the first part, the continued need for cardioprotection beyond that by rapid reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction is emphasized. Then, pathomechanisms of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion to the myocardium and the coronary circulation and the different modes of cell death in myocardial infarction are characterized. Different mechanical and pharmacological interventions to protect the ischemic/reperfused myocardium in elective percutaneous coronary interventions and coronary artery bypass grafting, in acute myocardial infarction and in cardiotoxicity from cancer therapy are detailed. The second part keeps the focus on ROS providing a comprehensive overview of molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Starting from mitochondria as the main sources and targets of ROS in ischemic/reperfused myocardium, a complex network of cellular and extracellular processes is discussed, including relationships with Ca2+ homeostasis, thiol group redox balance, hydrogen sulfide modulation, cross-talk with NAPDH oxidases, exosomes, cytokines and growth factors. While mechanistic insights are needed to improve our current therapeutic approaches, advancements in knowledge of ROS-mediated processes indicate that detrimental facets of oxidative stress are opposed by ROS requirement for physiological and protective reactions. This inevitable contrast is likely to underlie unsuccessful clinical trials and limits the development of novel cardioprotective interventions simply based upon ROS removal.

Abstract
Autophagy, the continuous recycling of intracellular building blocks, molecules, and organelles is necessary to preserve cellular function and homeostasis. In this context, it was demonstrated that autophagy plays an important role in megakaryopoiesis, the development and differentiation of hematopoietic progenitor cells into megakaryocytes. Furthermore, in recent years, autophagic proteins were detected in platelets, anucleate cells generated by megakaryocytes, responsible for hemostasis, thrombosis, and a key cell in inflammation and host immune responses. In the last decade studies have indicated the occurrence of autophagy in platelets. Moreover, autophagy in platelets was subsequently demonstrated to be involved in platelet aggregation, adhesion, and thrombus formation. Here, we review the current knowledge about autophagy in platelets, its function, and clinical implications. However, at the advent of platelet autophagy research, additional discoveries derived from evolving work will be required to precisely define the contributions of autophagy in platelets, and to expand the ever increasing physiologic and pathologic roles these remarkable and versatile blood cells play.

Abstract
Aging, a crucial risk factor for ischemic heart disease, has negative impacts on cardioprotective mechanisms. As such, there is still an unmet requirement to explore potential therapies for improving the outcomes of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury in elderly subjects. Here, we aimed to confirm the cardioprotective function of irisin/Dendrobium nobile Lindl (DNL) combination therapy against myocardial IR injury in aged rats, with a focus on the involvement of pyroptosis and mitophagy. Male aged Wistar rats (22-24 months old, 400-450 g; n = 54) underwent myocardial IR or sham surgery. Before IR operation, rats were pretreated with irisin (0.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) and/or DNL (80 mg/kg, orally) for 1 or 4 weeks, respectively, at corresponding groups. Cardiac function, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and cardiac-specific isoform of troponin-I (cTn-I) levels, the expression of proteins involved in pyroptosis (nod-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein, c-caspase-1, and GSDMD-N) and mitophagy (PINK1 and Parkin), and pro-inflammatory cytokines levels were evaluated after 24 h of reperfusion. Irisin/DNL combined therapy significantly restored cardiac function and decreased LDH and cTn-I levels. It also downregulated pyroptosis-related proteins, upregulated PINK1 and Parkin, and decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines secretion. Pretreatment with Mdivi-1, as mitophagy inhibitor, abolished the cardioprotective action of dual therapy. This study revealed the cardioprotective effects of irisin/DNL combination therapy against IR-induced myocardial injury in aged rats, and also showed that the mechanism might be associated with suppression of NLRP3-related pyroptosis through enhancing the activity of the PINK1/Parkin mitophagy. This combination therapy is worthy of further detailed studies due to its potential to alleviate myocardial IR injury upon aging.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dynamics are critical for maintaining mitochondrial morphology and function during cardiac ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). The immunoproteasome complex is an inducible isoform of the proteasome that plays a key role in modulating inflammation and some cardiovascular diseases, but the importance of immunoproteasome catalytic subunit β2i (also known as LMP10 or MECL1) in regulating mitochondrial dynamics and cardiac I/R injury is largely unknown. Here, using β2i-knockout (KO) mice and rAAV9-β2i-injected mice, we discovered that β2i expression and its trypsin-like activity were significantly attenuated in the mouse I/R myocardium and in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Moreover, β2i-KO mice exhibited greatly enhanced I/R-mediated cardiac dysfunction, infarct size, myocyte apoptosis and oxidative stress accompanied by excessive mitochondrial fission due to Mfn1/2 and Drp1 imbalance. Conversely, cardiac overexpression of β2i in mice injected with recombinant adeno-associated virus 9 (rAAV9)-β2i ameliorated cardiac I/R injury. Mechanistically, I/R injury reduced β2i expression and activity, which increased the expression of the E3 ligase Parkin protein and promoted the degradation of mitofusin 1/2 (Mfn1/2), leading to excessive mitochondrial fission. In conclusion, our data suggest for the first time that β2i exerts a protective role against cardiac I/R injury and that increasing β2i expression may be a new therapeutic option for cardiac ischemic disease in clinical practice.

Abstract
Mitophagy is a form of autophagy that selectively removes damaged mitochondria and attenuates mitochondrial-dependent apoptosis during viral infection, but how arboviruses balance mitophagy and apoptosis to facilitate persistent viral infection in insect vectors without causing evident fitness cost remains elusive. Here, we identified mitochondrial VDAC1 (voltage-dependent anion channel 1) that could be hijacked by nonstructural protein Pns11 of rice gall dwarf virus (RGDV), a plant nonenveloped double-stranded RNA virus, to synergistically activate pro-viral extensive mitophagy and limited apoptosis in leafhopper vectors. The direct target of fibrillar structures constructed by Pns11 with VDAC1 induced mitochondrial degeneration. Moreover, the degenerated mitochondria were recruited into Pns11-induced phagophores to initiate mitophagy via interaction of VDAC1 with Pns11 and an autophagy protein, ATG8. Such mitophagy mediated by Pns11 and VDAC1 required the classical PRKN/Parkin-PINK1 pathway. VDAC1 regulates apoptosis by controlling the release of apoptotic signaling molecules through its pore, while the anti-apoptotic protein GSN (gelsolin) could bind to VDAC1 pore. We demonstrated that the interaction of Pns11 with VDAC1 and gelsolin decreased VDAC1 expression but increased GSN expression, which prevented the extensive apoptotic response in virus-infected regions. Meanwhile, virus-induced mitophagy also effectively prevented extensive apoptotic response to decrease apoptosis-caused insect fitness cost. The subsequent fusion of virus-loaded mitophagosomes with lysosomes is prevented, and thus such mitophagosomes are exploited for persistent spread of virions within insect bodies. Our results reveal a new strategy for arboviruses to balance and exploit mitophagy and apoptosis, resulting in an optimal intracellular environment for persistent viral propagation in insect vectors.Abbreviations: ATG: autophagy related; BNIP3: BCL2 interacting protein 3; CYCS/CytC: cytochrome c, somatic; dsGSN: double-stranded RNAs targeting GSN/gelsolin; dsGFP: double-stranded RNAs targeting green fluorescent protein; dsPRKN: double-stranded RNAs targeting PRKN; dsPns11: double-stranded RNAs targeting Pns11; dsRNA: double-stranded RNA; EC: epithelia cell; GST: glutathione S-transferase; LAMP1: lysosomal associated membrane protein 1; Mito: mitochondrion; Mmg: middle midgut; MP, mitophagosome; PG, phagophore. padp: post-first access to diseased plants; PINK1: PTEN induced kinase 1; RGDV: rice gall dwarf virus; SQSTM1: sequestosome 1; TOMM20: translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20; TUNEL: terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling; VDAC1: voltage dependent anion channel 1.

MiR-130a-3p regulates FUNDC1-mediated mitophagy by targeting GJA1 in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Cell Death Discov 2023; 9:77.

Abstract
Understanding the complex pathogenesis in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury (IRI) is an urgent problem in clinical trials. Increasing pieces of evidence have suggested that miRNAs are involved in the occurrence and development of heart diseases by regulating mitochondria-related gene expression. Mitochondria have been acknowledged as the key triggers of cardiac I/R injury. However, the potential impact of miR-130a on mitochondria remains unclear in myocardial IRI. Exploring the regulatory mechanism of miR-130a on mitochondria may provide a new target for IRI therapy. In the present study, we found that miR-130a significantly increased in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients and myocardial I/R rats. MiR-130a could downregulate the viability of cardiomyocytes and the knockdown of miR-130a could protect the viability of cardiomyocytes under hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR). Over-expression of miR-130a resulted in mitochondrial dysfunction. It was evidenced by decreases in mitochondrial ATP production, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. However, suppression of miR-130a could protect against mitochondrial damage, show elevation of mitochondrial ATP production rate and MMP, and reduce ROS production. We further explored the effect of miR-130a on the mitochondrial quality control (QMC) system by determining mitochondrial-protein-specific proteases and analyzed mitochondrial morphology by fluorescence imaging and electron microscopy, respectively. It was noted that miR-130a could suppress mitochondrial fusion and FUNDC1-mediated mitophagy to accelerate myocardial IRI. Moreover, we investigated the potential miR-130a targeted mitochondria-related genes to understand the regulatory mechanism of miR-130a in the setting of myocardial IRI. It was revealed that miR-130a targeted GJA1, and GJA1 rescued IRI by enhancing ATP production rate and oxidative phosphorylation, meanwhile protecting cell viability, MMP, and activating mitophagy. In addition, the knockdown of miR-130a significantly activated FUNDC1-mediated mitophagy, while the knockdown of GJA1 reversed the relevant response. Collectively, our findings suggest that miR-130a regulates FUNDC1-mediated mitophagy by targeting GJA1 in myocardial IRI.

Abstract
The imbalance of mitochondrial fission and fusion dynamics causes ischemic cardiomyocyte apoptosis and heart injury by affecting mitophagy. Regulation of mitochondrial dynamics is an important therapeutic strategy for ischemic heart diseases. Considering the important roles of MORN motifs in heart diseases and chloroplast fission, we aimed to investigate the possible role of MORN repeat-containing protein 4 (MORN4) in the progression of myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic cardiomyocyte apoptosis, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitophagy. We found that in the MI mouse, MORN4 knockdown remarkably accelerated cardiac injury and fibrosis with deteriorating cardiac dysfunction. Sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC) alleviated ischemic cardiomyocyte apoptosis and heart injury through increased level of MORN4, indicating a vital function of MORN4 in heart with SPC used to clarify the molecular mechanisms underlying the functions of MORN4. Mechanistically, we found that MORN4 directly binds to MFN2 and promotes the phosphorylation of MFN2 S442 through Rho-associated protein kinase 2 (ROCK2), which mediates beneficial mitophagy induced by mitochondrial dynamics, while SPC promoted the binding of MORN4 and MFN2 and the process. Taken together, our data reveal a new perspective role of MORN4 in ischemic heart injury, and report that SPC could regulate myocardial mitochondrial homeostasis by activating the MORN4-MFN2 axis during the ischemic situation, this finding provides novel targets for improving myocardial ischemia tolerance and rescue of acute myocardial infarction.

Glyphosate-induced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species overproduction activates parkin-dependent mitophagy to inhibit testosterone synthesis in mouse leydig cells. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 314:120314.

Abstract
Glyphosate (GLY), one of the most extensively used herbicides in the world, has been shown to inhibit testosterone synthesis in male animals. Mitochondria are crucial organelles for testosterone synthesis and its dysfunction has been demonstrated to induce the inhibition of testosterone biosynthesis. However, whether low-dose GLY exposure targets mitochondria to inhibit testosterone synthesis and its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, an in vitro model of 10 μM GLY-exposed mouse Leydig (TM3) cells was established to elucidate this issue. Data firstly showed that mitochondrial malfunction, mainly manifested by ultrastructure damage, disturbance of mitochondrial dynamics and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) overproduction, was responsible for GLY-decreased protein levels of steroidogenic enzymes, which leads to the inhibition of testosterone synthesis. Enhancement of autophagic flux and activation of mitophagy were shown in GLY-treated TM3 cells, and further studies have revealed that GLY-activated mitophagy is parkin-dependent. Notably, GLY-inhibited testosterone production was significantly improved by parkin knockdown. Finally, data showed that treatment with mitochondria-targeted antioxidant Mito-TEMPO (M-T) markedly reversed GLY-induced mitochondrial network fragmentation, activation of parkin-dependent mitophagy and consultant testosterone reduction. Overall, these findings demonstrate that GLY induces mtROS overproduction to activate parkin-dependent mitophagy, which contributes to the inhibition of testosterone synthesis. This study provides a potential mechanistic explanation for how GLY inhibits testosterone synthesis in mouse Leydig cells.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetic hearts are more vulnerable to myocardial ischemia reperfusion (MIR) injury, which involves decreased mitophagy status with unknown mechanisms. MitoQ, a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant, has been shown to have protection against ischemia reperfusion injury through upregulating mitophagy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of MitoQ on myocardium during MIR injury in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Herein, this study discovered that type 2 diabetic hearts with PINK1/Parkin downregulation suffered more MIR injury accompanied by reduced mitophagy. Treatment with MitoQ significantly decreased the levels of CK-MB, LDH, myocardial infarction, myocardial pathological damage, and cardiomyocytes apoptosis, while it improved cardiac function, mitophagy status, and PINK1/Parkin pathway in vivo study. Furthermore, MitoQ significantly reduced high glucose/high fat and hypoxia/reoxygenation induced injury in H9C2 cells as evidenced by reduced cardiomyocytes apoptosis and ROS production, and increased cell viability, the level of mitochondrial membrane potential, PINK1/Parkin expression. However, mitochondrial division inhibitor (mdivi-1), an inhibitor of mitophagy, reversed the improvement and protein expression levels of PINK1/Parkin pathway in vitro models. In conclusion, MIR induced more severe damage in T2D by reduction of mitophagy. MitoQ can confer cardioprotection following MIR in T2D by mitophagy up-regulation via PINK1/Parkin pathway.

Abstract
Alterations in mitochondrial function and morphology are critical adaptations to cardiovascular stress, working in concert in an attempt to restore organelle-level and cellular-level homeostasis. Processes that alter mitochondrial morphology include fission, fusion, mitophagy, and biogenesis, and these interact to maintain mitochondrial quality control. Not all cardiovascular stress is pathologic (e.g., ischemia, pressure overload, cardiotoxins), despite a wealth of studies to this effect. Physiological stress, such as that induced by aerobic exercise, can induce morphologic adaptations that share many common pathways with pathological stress, but in this case result in improved mitochondrial health. Developing a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying alterations in mitochondrial quality control under diverse cardiovascular stressors will aid in the development of pharmacologic interventions aimed at restoring cellular homeostasis.

Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation Ameliorates Cognitive Function through PINK1/Parkin Mediated Mitophagy in VD Rats. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:2810794.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated whether transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) could improve cognitive function in VD rats by regulating PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy. VD rat model was prepared by modified 2-vessel occlusion (2-VO) and randomly divided into four groups: Sham group (Sham), Model group (Model), TEAS group (TEAS), and TEAS + 3-MA group (T +3 -MA). In the T +3 -MA group, autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) was injected into the lateral ventricle. After modeling, Y maze (YM), new object recognition test (NORT), Morris water maze (MWM), immunofluorescence, and Western blot were used to observe the effects of TEAS on VD rats. Behavioral experiments revealed that TEAS effectively improved the learning and memory ability of VD rats. Immunofluorescence results showed that TEAS could upregulate LC3 expression. Western blot results showed that TEAS upregulated the expression of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3-II, and downregulated the expression of LC3-I and p62 in VD rats. T +3 -MA group shows the opposite trend to TEAS group. This study demonstrates that TEAS ameliorates cognitive function through PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy in VD rats.

Abstract
Patients with ischemic heart disease receiving reperfusion therapy still need to face left ventricular remodeling and heart failure after myocardial infarction. Reperfusion itself paradoxically leads to further cardiomyocyte death and systolic dysfunction. Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury can eliminate the benefits of reperfusion therapy in patients and causes secondary myocardial injury. Mitochondrial dysfunction and structural disorder are the basic driving force of I/R injury. We summarized the basic relationship and potential mechanisms of mitochondrial injury in the development of I/R injury. Subsequently, this review summarized the natural products (NPs) that have been proven to targeting mitochondrial therapeutic effects during I/R injury in recent years and related cellular signal transduction pathways. We found that these NPs mainly protected the structural integrity of mitochondria and improve dysfunction, such as reducing mitochondrial division and fusion abnormalities, improving mitochondrial Ca2+ overload and inhibiting reactive oxygen species overproduction, thereby playing a role in protecting cardiomyocytes during I/R injury. This data would deepen the understanding of I/R-induced mitochondrial pathological process and suggested that NPs are expected to be transformed into potential therapies targeting mitochondria.

Abstract
Heart failure, mostly associated with cardiac hypertrophy, is a major cause of illness and death. Oxidative stress causes accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, suggesting that mitochondria-targeted therapies could be effective in this context. The purpose of this work was to determine whether mitochondria-targeted therapies could improve cardiac hypertrophy induced by mitochondrial ROS. We used neonatal (NCMs) and adult (ACMs) rat cardiomyocytes hypertrophied by isoproterenol (Iso) to induce mitochondrial ROS. A decreased interaction between sirtuin 3 and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) induced SOD2 acetylation on lysine 68 and inactivation, leading to mitochondrial oxidative stress and dysfunction and hypertrophy after 24 h of Iso treatment. To counteract these mechanisms, we evaluated the impact of the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant mitoquinone (MitoQ). MitoQ decreased mitochondrial ROS and hypertrophy in Iso-treated NCMs and ACMs but altered mitochondrial structure and function by decreasing mitochondrial respiration and mitophagy. The same decrease in mitophagy was found in human cardiomyocytes but not in fibroblasts, suggesting a cardiomyocyte-specific deleterious effect of MitoQ. Our data showed the importance of mitochondrial oxidative stress in the development of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. We observed that targeting mitochondria by MitoQ in cardiomyocytes impaired the metabolism through defective mitophagy, leading to accumulation of deficient mitochondria.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, with myocardial injury occurring during ischemia and subsequent reperfusion (IR). We previously showed that the inhibition of protein kinase C delta (δPKC) with a pan-inhibitor (δV1-1) mitigates myocardial injury and improves mitochondrial function in animal models of IR, and in humans with acute myocardial infarction, when treated at the time of opening of the occluded blood vessel, at reperfusion. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a key sarcomeric protein in cardiomyocyte contraction, is phosphorylated by δPKC during reperfusion. Here, we describe a rationally-designed, selective, high-affinity, eight amino acid peptide that inhibits cTnI's interaction with, and phosphorylation by, δPKC (ψTnI), and prevents tissue injury in a Langendorff model of myocardial infarction, ex vivo. Unexpectedly, we also found that this treatment attenuates IR-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. These data suggest that δPKC phosphorylation of cTnI is critical in IR injury, and that a cTnI/δPKC interaction inhibitor should be considered as a therapeutic target to reduce cardiac injury after myocardial infarction.
