Abstract
Mitochondrial dynamics plays a significant role in shaping the mitochondrial network and maintaining mitochondrial function. Imbalanced mitochondrial dynamics can cause mitochondrial dysfunction leading to a wide range of diseases/disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of mitochondrial dynamics markers and regulatory molecules in whole adrenal glands, cortices, and medullae obtained from adult male rats exposed to acute and repeated psychophysical stress, the most common stress in human society. The transcriptional profiles of most of the mitochondrial dynamics markers investigated here were altered: 81%-(17/21) in the whole adrenal gland, 76.2%-(16/21) in the adrenal cortex, and 85.7%-(18/21) in the adrenal medulla. Changes were evident in representatives of every process of mitochondrial dynamics. Markers of mitobiogenesis were changed up to 62.5%-(5/8) in the whole adrenal gland, 62.5%-(5/8) in the adrenal cortex, and 87.5%-(7/8) in the adrenal medulla. Markers of mitofusion were changed up to 100%-(3/3) in the whole adrenal gland, 66.7%-(5/8) in the adrenal cortex, and 87.5%-(7/8) in the adrenal medulla, while all markers of mitofission and mitophagy were changed in the adrenal glands. Moreover, almost all markers of mitochondrial functionality were changed: 83.3%-(5/6) in the whole adrenal, 83.3%-(5/6) in the cortex, 66.7%-(4/6) in the medulla. Accordingly, the study highlights the significant impact of acute and repeated stress on mitochondrial dynamics in the adrenal gland.
