Abstract
BACKGROUND Acoustically activatable perfluoropropane droplets (PD) can be formulated from commercially available microbubble preparations. Diagnostic transthoracic ultrasound frequencies have resulted in acoustic activation (AA) predominately within myocardial infarct zones (IZ). OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that the AA area following acute coronary ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) would selectively enhance the developing scar zone, and target bioeffects specifically to this region. METHODS We administered intravenous PD in 36 rats and 20 pigs at various stages of myocardial scar formation (30 minutes, 1 day, and 7 days post I/R) to determine what effect infarct age had on the AA within the IZ. This was correlated with histology, myeloperoxidase activity, and tissue nitrite activity. RESULTS The degree of AA within the IZ in rats was not associated with collagen content, neutrophil infiltration, or infarct age. AA within 24 hours of I/R was associated with increased nitric oxide utilization selectively within the IZ (P < .05 compared with remote zone). The spatial extent of AA in pigs correlated with infarct size only when performed before sacrifice at 7 days (r = .74, P < .01). CONCLUSIONS Acoustic activation of intravenous PD enhances the developing scar zone following I/R, and results in selective tissue nitric oxide utilization.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of sepsis associated with increased risk of death. Preclinical data and observational human studies suggest that activation of AMP-activated protein kinase, an ubiquitous master regulator of energy that can limit mitochondrial injury, with metformin may protect against sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI) and mortality. The Randomized Clinical Trial of the Safety and FeasibiLity of Metformin as a Treatment for sepsis-associated AKI (LiMiT AKI) aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of enteral metformin in patients with sepsis at risk of developing SA-AKI. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Blind, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial in a single-centre, quaternary teaching hospital in the USA. We will enrol adult patients (18 years of age or older) within 48 hours of meeting Sepsis-3 criteria, admitted to intensive care unit, with oral or enteral access. Patients will be randomised 1:1:1 to low-dose metformin (500 mg two times per day), high-dose metformin (1000 mg two times per day) or placebo for 5 days. Primary safety outcome will be the proportion of metformin-associated serious adverse events. Feasibility assessment will be based on acceptability by patients and clinicians, and by enrolment rate. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board. All patients or surrogates will provide written consent prior to enrolment and any study intervention. Metformin is a widely available, inexpensive medication with a long track record for safety, which if effective would be accessible and easy to deploy. We describe the study methods using the Standard Protocol Items for Randomized Trials framework and discuss key design features and methodological decisions. LiMiT AKI will investigate the feasibility and safety of metformin in critically ill patients with sepsis at risk of SA-AKI, in preparation for a future large-scale efficacy study. Main results will be published as soon as available after final analysis. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05900284.

Abstract
The endogenous mechanisms that propagate cardiomyocyte differentiation and prevent de-differentiation remain unclear. While the expression of the heme protein myoglobin increases by over 50% during cardiomyocyte differentiation, a role for myoglobin in regulating cardiomyocyte differentiation has not been tested. Here, we show that deletion of myoglobin in cardiomyocyte models decreases the gene expression of differentiation markers and stimulates cellular proliferation, consistent with cardiomyocyte de-differentiation. Mechanistically, the heme prosthetic group of myoglobin catalyzes the oxidation of the Hippo pathway kinase LATS1, resulting in phosphorylation and inactivation of yes-associated protein (YAP). In vivo, myoglobin-deficient zebrafish hearts show YAP dephosphorylation and accelerated cardiac regeneration after apical injury. Similarly, myoglobin knockdown in neonatal murine hearts shows increased YAP dephosphorylation and cardiomyocyte cycling. These data demonstrate a novel role for myoglobin as an endogenous driver of cardiomyocyte differentiation and highlight myoglobin as a potential target to enhance cardiac development and improve cardiac repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Thrombosis and inflammation are intimately linked and synergistically contribute to the pathogenesis of numerous thromboinflammatory diseases, including sickle cell disease (SCD). While platelets are central to thrombogenesis and inflammation, the molecular mechanisms of crosstalk between the 2 remain elusive. High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) regulates inflammation and stimulates platelet activation through Toll-like receptor 4. However, it remains unclear whether HMGB1 modulates other thrombotic agonists to regulate platelet activation. Herein, using human platelets, we demonstrate that HMGB1 significantly enhanced ADP-mediated platelet activation. Furthermore, inhibition of the purinergic receptor P2Y12 attenuated HMGB1-dependent platelet activation. Mechanistically, we show that HMGB1 stimulated ADP secretion, while concomitantly increasing P2Y12 levels at the platelet membrane. We show that in SCD patients, increased plasma HMGB1 levels were associated with heightened platelet activation and surface P2Y12 expression. Treatment of healthy platelets with plasma from SCD patients enhanced platelet activation and surface P2Y12, and increased sensitivity to ADP-mediated activation, and these effects were linked to plasma HMGB1. We conclude that HMGB1-mediated platelet activation involves ADP-dependent P2Y12 signaling, and HMGB1 primes platelets for ADP signaling. This complementary agonism between ADP and HMGB1 furthers the understanding of thromboinflammatory signaling in conditions such as SCD, and provides insight for therapeutic P2Y12 inhibition.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming in pediatric diffuse midline glioma is driven by gene expression changes induced by the hallmark histone mutation H3K27M, which results in aberrantly permissive activation of oncogenic signaling pathways. Previous studies of diffuse midline glioma with altered H3K27 (DMG-H3K27a) have shown that the RAS pathway, specifically through its downstream kinase, extracellular-signal-related kinase 5 (ERK5), is critical for tumor growth. Further downstream effectors of ERK5 and their role in DMG-H3K27a metabolic reprogramming have not been explored. We establish that ERK5 is a critical regulator of cell proliferation and glycolysis in DMG-H3K27a. We demonstrate that ERK5 mediates glycolysis through activation of transcription factor MEF2A, which subsequently modulates expression of glycolytic enzyme PFKFB3. We show that in vitro and mouse models of DMG-H3K27a are sensitive to the loss of PFKFB3. Multi-targeted drug therapy against the ERK5-PFKFB3 axis, such as with small-molecule inhibitors, may represent a promising therapeutic approach in patients with pediatric diffuse midline glioma.

Abstract
Hypoxic reprogramming of vasculature relies on genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic circuitry, but the control points are unknown. In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a disease driven by hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-dependent vascular dysfunction, HIF-2α promoted expression of neighboring genes, long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) histone lysine N-methyltransferase 2E-antisense 1 (KMT2E-AS1) and histone lysine N-methyltransferase 2E (KMT2E). KMT2E-AS1 stabilized KMT2E protein to increase epigenetic histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), driving HIF-2α-dependent metabolic and pathogenic endothelial activity. This lncRNA axis also increased HIF-2α expression across epigenetic, transcriptional, and posttranscriptional contexts, thus promoting a positive feedback loop to further augment HIF-2α activity. We identified a genetic association between rs73184087, a single-nucleotide variant (SNV) within a KMT2E intron, and disease risk in PAH discovery and replication patient cohorts and in a global meta-analysis. This SNV displayed allele (G)-specific association with HIF-2α, engaged in long-range chromatin interactions, and induced the lncRNA-KMT2E tandem in hypoxic (G/G) cells. In vivo, KMT2E-AS1 deficiency protected against PAH in mice, as did pharmacologic inhibition of histone methylation in rats. Conversely, forced lncRNA expression promoted more severe PH. Thus, the KMT2E-AS1/KMT2E pair orchestrates across convergent multi-ome landscapes to mediate HIF-2α pathobiology and represents a key clinical target in pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective To address the need for an intradialytic exercise program that is easily delivered in clinical setting, engaging and scalable, we developed a novel COMprehensive EXercise (COMEX) program based on input from patients receiving hemodialysis (HD), dialysis staff members and nephrologists. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility, safety, and acceptance of COMEX during HD. Study Design Single-arm prospective pilot feasibility study. Setting & Participants Seventeen patients receiving in-center HD. Intervention Three-month participation in the COMEX program, which included video-based dialysis chair exercises (aerobic and resistance) integrated with educational and motivational components. Outcomes Data on recruitment, adherence, safety and acceptability were collected. Additional assessments were performed to evaluate changes in physical functioning, patient-reported symptoms, and objectively measured sleep and physical activity. We also examined the feasibility of obtaining skeletal muscle biopsies and blood samples to explore molecular mechanisms of muscle atrophy and to assess platelet mitochondrial function and adaptation to exercise during HD. Results Thirteen of the 17 (76%) participants completed the 3-month intervention. The mean participant age was 63.6 ± 15.1 years. In total, 46% of participants were males, and 55% were White. The mean body mass index was 38.7 ± 11.6 kg/m2. There were no reported adverse effects, and the adherence rate to exercise sessions was high with 88% of the sessions completed. Patient satisfaction was high, as 100% of the patients would recommend the program to other dialysis patients. It was feasible to collect data on physical functioning, patient-reported symptoms, and objective sleep and physical activity and to obtain muscle biopsies and blood samples. Limitations Small sample size, lack of an onsite exercise professional, and technological issues with telemedicine behavioral motivation. Conclusions The COMEX intradialytic exercise intervention is safe and acceptable to patients, and outcome measures were feasible to obtain. Future studies should consider including exercise professionals to facilitate progression through a personalized exercise protocol. Funding Source This work is supported by pilot award from P30 DK079307 (PI, Jhamb). Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03055299. Plain-Language Summary We tested a new COMprehensive EXercise (COMEX) program to deliver exercise during dialysis. This 3-month program included video-based dialysis chair exercises (aerobic and resistance) integrated with educational and motivational components. Our study shows COMEX was feasible, had high satisfaction and adherence, and was safe. It was feasible to collect data on physical functioning, patient-reported symptoms, and objective sleep and physical activity and to obtain muscle biopsies and blood samples. Future studies should consider including exercise professionals to facilitate progression through a personalized exercise protocol.

Abstract
Clinical studies report that viral infections promote acute or chronic bacterial infections at multiple host sites. These viral-bacterial co-infections are widely linked to more severe clinical outcomes. In experimental models in vitro and in vivo, virus-induced interferon responses can augment host susceptibility to secondary bacterial infection. Here, we used a cell-based screen to assess 389 interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) for their ability to induce chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. We identified and validated five ISGs that were sufficient to promote bacterial infection. Furthermore, we dissected the mechanism of action of hexokinase 2 (HK2), a gene involved in the induction of aerobic glycolysis, commonly known as the Warburg effect. We report that HK2 upregulation mediates the induction of Warburg effect and secretion of L-lactate, which enhances chronic P. aeruginosa infection. These findings elucidate how the antiviral immune response renders the host susceptible to secondary bacterial infection, revealing potential strategies for viral-bacterial co-infection treatment.

Abstract
Introduction Metformin is the most prescribed medication in Diabetes Mellitus(DM). Metformin has shown to decrease mean platelet volume, with promising antiplatelet effects. High doses of Metformin have also been associated with hypercoagulation. We hypothesize that Metformin will protect DM mice from occlusive arterial thrombus formation by altering platelet activation and mitochondrial bioenergetics. Methods DM was developed by low dose of Streptozotocin, non-DM (healthy) mice are controls. Either vehicle or Metformin was administered twice daily via oral gavage for 7-days. Ferric chloride (FeCl3) arterial thrombosis and tail bleeding time were performed. Whole blood aggregometry, platelet activation/adhesion and mitochondrial bioenergetics were evaluated. Results Metformin decreased susceptibility of DM mice to arterial thrombosis. Platelet bioenergetics show DM mice have increased platelet mitochondrial respiration, but no differences were observed with Metformin treatment. In non-DM (healthy) mice, Metformin modulated ADP-dependent increase in platelet adhesion. Non-DM (healthy) mice, Metformin shortens bleeding time with faster thrombotic occlusion. Metformin also increased platelet mitochondrial maximal respiration and spare respiratory capacity uniquely in non-DM (healthy) mice. Conclusion Metformin regulates platelet bioenergetics and ADP-mediated platelet function in DM mice which attenuates susceptibility to arterial thrombosis. Future studies will evaluate clinically relevant doses of Metformin that regulates thrombotic function in diabetic platelets.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder, and neuroprotective or disease-modifying interventions remain elusive. High-throughput markers aimed at stratifying patients on the basis of shared etiology are required to ensure the success of disease-modifying therapies in clinical trials. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a prominent role in the pathogenesis of PD. Previously, we found brain region-specific accumulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage in PD neuronal culture and animal models, as well as in human PD postmortem brain tissue. To investigate mtDNA damage as a potential blood-based marker for PD, we describe herein a PCR-based assay (Mito DNADX) that allows for the accurate real-time quantification of mtDNA damage in a scalable platform. We found that mtDNA damage was increased in peripheral blood mononuclear cells derived from patients with idiopathic PD and those harboring the PD-associated leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) G2019S mutation in comparison with age-matched controls. In addition, mtDNA damage was elevated in non-disease-manifesting LRRK2 mutation carriers, demonstrating that mtDNA damage can occur irrespective of a PD diagnosis. We further established that Lrrk2 G2019S knock-in mice displayed increased mtDNA damage, whereas Lrrk2 knockout mice showed fewer mtDNA lesions in the ventral midbrain, compared with wild-type control mice. Furthermore, a small-molecule kinase inhibitor of LRRK2 mitigated mtDNA damage in a rotenone PD rat midbrain neuron model and in idiopathic PD patient-derived lymphoblastoid cell lines. Quantifying mtDNA damage using the Mito DNADX assay may have utility as a candidate marker of PD and for measuring the pharmacodynamic response to LRRK2 kinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Deficiency of iron‑sulfur (FeS) clusters promotes metabolic rewiring of the endothelium and the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in vivo. Joining a growing number of FeS biogenesis proteins critical to pulmonary endothelial function, recent data highlighted that frataxin (FXN) reduction drives Fe-S-dependent genotoxic stress and senescence across multiple types of pulmonary vascular disease. Trinucleotide repeat mutations in the FXN gene cause Friedreich's ataxia, a disease characterized by cardiomyopathy and neurodegeneration. These tissue-specific phenotypes have historically been attributed to mitochondrial reprogramming and oxidative stress. Whether FXN coordinates both nuclear and mitochondrial processes in the endothelium is unknown. Here, we aim to identify the mitochondria-specific effects of FXN deficiency in the endothelium that predispose to pulmonary hypertension. Our data highlight an Fe-S-driven metabolic shift separate from previously described replication stress whereby FXN knockdown diminished mitochondrial respiration and increased glycolysis and oxidative species production. In turn, FXN-deficient endothelial cells had increased vasoconstrictor production (EDN1) and decreased nitric oxide synthase expression (NOS3). These data were observed in primary pulmonary endothelial cells after pharmacologic inhibition of FXN, mice carrying a genetic endothelial deletion of FXN, and inducible pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cells from patients with FXN mutations. Altogether, this study indicates FXN is an upstream driver of pathologic aberrations in metabolism and genomic stability. Moreover, our study highlights FXN-specific vasoconstriction in vivo, prompting future studies to investigate available and novel PH therapies in contexts of FXN deficiency.

Abstract
Introduction Metformin is the most prescribed medication in Diabetes Mellitus(DM). Metformin has shown to decrease mean platelet volume, with promising antiplatelet effects. High doses of Metformin have also been associated with hypercoagulation. We hypothesize that Metformin will protect DM mice from occlusive arterial thrombus formation by altering platelet activation and mitochondrial bioenergetics. Methods DM was developed by low dose of Streptozotocin, healthy (non-DM) mice are controls. Either vehicle or Metformin was administered twice daily via oral gavage for 7-days. Ferric chloride (FeCl3) arterial thrombosis and tail bleeding time were performed. Whole blood aggregometry, platelet activation/adhesion and mitochondrial bioenergetics were evaluated. Results Metformin decreased susceptibility of DM mice to arterial thrombosis. Platelet bioenergetics show DM mice have increased platelet mitochondrial respiration, but no differences were observed with Metformin treatment. In healthy mice, Metformin modulated ADP-dependent increase in platelet adhesion. In healthy mice, Metformin shortens bleeding time with faster thrombotic occlusion. Metformin also increased platelet mitochondrial maximal respiration and spare respiratory capacity uniquely in healthy mice. Conclusion Metformin regulates platelet bioenergetics and ADP-mediated platelet function in DM mice which attenuates susceptibility to arterial thrombosis. Future studies will evaluate clinically relevant doses of Metformin that regulates thrombotic function in diabetic platelets.

Abstract
Tumor growth and proliferation are regulated by numerous mechanisms. Communication between intracellular organelles has recently been shown to regulate cellular proliferation and fitness. The way lysosomes and mitochondria communicate with each other (lysosomal/mitochondrial interaction) is emerging as a major determinant of tumor proliferation and growth. About 30% of squamous carcinomas (including squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, SCCHN) overexpress TMEM16A, a calcium-activated chloride channel, which promotes cellular growth and negatively correlates with patient survival. TMEM16A has recently been shown to drive lysosomal biogenesis, but its impact on mitochondrial function is unclear. Here, we show that (1) patients with high TMEM16A SCCHN display increased mitochondrial content specifically complex I; (2) In vitro and in vivo models uniquely depend on mitochondrial complex I activity for growth and survival; (3) β-catenin/NRF2 signaling is a critical linchpin that drives mitochondrial biogenesis, and (4) mitochondrial complex I and lysosomal function are codependent for proliferation. Taken together, our data demonstrate that LMI drives tumor proliferation and facilitates a functional interaction between lysosomes and mitochondria. Therefore, inhibition of LMI may serve as a therapeutic strategy for patients with SCCHN.

Abstract
General control of amino acid synthesis 5-like 1 (GCN5L1) was previously identified as a key regulator of protein lysine acetylation in mitochondria. Subsequent studies demonstrated that GCN5L1 regulates the acetylation status and activity of mitochondrial fuel substrate metabolism enzymes. However, the role of GCN5L1 in response to chronic hemodynamic stress is largely unknown. Here, we show that cardiomyocyte-specific GCN5L1 knockout mice (cGCN5L1 KO) display exacerbated heart failure progression following transaortic constriction (TAC). Mitochondrial DNA and protein levels were decreased in cGCN5L1 KO hearts after TAC, and isolated neonatal cardiomyocytes with reduced GCN5L1 expression had lower bioenergetic output in response to hypertrophic stress. Loss of GCN5L1 expression led to a decrease in the acetylation status of mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) after TAC in vivo, which was linked to a reduction in mtDNA levels in vitro. Together, these data suggest that GCN5L1 may protect from hemodynamic stress by maintaining mitochondrial bioenergetic output.

Abstract
Xanthine oxidase (XO) catalyzes the catabolism of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid, generating oxidants as a byproduct. Importantly, XO activity is elevated in numerous hemolytic conditions including sickle cell disease (SCD); however, the role of XO in this context has not been elucidated. Whereas long-standing dogma suggests elevated levels of XO in the vascular compartment contribute to vascular pathology via increased oxidant production, herein, we demonstrate, for the first time, that XO has an unexpected protective role during hemolysis. Using an established hemolysis model, we found that intravascular hemin challenge (40 μmol/kg) resulted in a significant increase in hemolysis and an immense (20-fold) elevation in plasma XO activity in Townes sickle cell phenotype (SS) sickle mice compared to controls. Repeating the hemin challenge model in hepatocyte-specific XO knockout mice transplanted with SS bone marrow confirmed the liver as the source of enhanced circulating XO as these mice demonstrated 100% lethality compared to 40% survival in controls. In addition, studies in murine hepatocytes (AML12) revealed hemin mediates upregulation and release of XO to the medium in a toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)-dependent manner. Furthermore, we demonstrate that XO degrades oxyhemoglobin and releases free hemin and iron in a hydrogen peroxide-dependent manner. Additional biochemical studies revealed purified XO binds free hemin to diminish the potential for deleterious hemin-related redox reactions as well as prevents platelet aggregation. In the aggregate, data herein reveals that intravascular hemin challenge induces XO release by hepatocytes through hemin-TLR4 signaling, resulting in an immense elevation of circulating XO. This increased XO activity in the vascular compartment mediates protection from intravascular hemin crisis by binding and potentially degrading hemin at the apical surface of the endothelium where XO is known to be bound and sequestered by endothelial glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

Abstract
AIMS Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is markedly decreased in heart failure patients. Both BDNF and its receptor, tropomyosin-related kinase receptor (TrkB), are expressed in cardiomyocytes; however, the role of myocardial BDNF signalling in cardiac pathophysiology is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of BDNF/TrkB signalling in cardiac stress response to exercise and pathological stress. METHODS AND RESULTS We found that myocardial BDNF expression was increased in mice with swimming exercise but decreased in a mouse heart failure model and human failing hearts. Cardiac-specific TrkB knockout (cTrkB KO) mice displayed a blunted adaptive cardiac response to exercise, with attenuated upregulation of transcription factor networks controlling mitochondrial biogenesis/metabolism, including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC-1α). In response to pathological stress (transaortic constriction, TAC), cTrkB KO mice showed an exacerbated heart failure progression. The downregulation of PGC-1α in cTrkB KO mice exposed to exercise or TAC resulted in decreased cardiac energetics. We further unravelled that BDNF induces PGC-1α upregulation and bioenergetics through a novel signalling pathway, the pleiotropic transcription factor Yin Yang 1. CONCLUSION Taken together, our findings suggest that myocardial BDNF plays a critical role in regulating cellular energetics in the cardiac stress response.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) responses to increased levels of Ang II during hypertensive remodeling included enhanced vasoconstriction and hypertrophy due to the enlargement of the SMC on the vessel wall. Hypertrophic SMC usually present defects in cell division and cell polyploidy. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling SMC hypertrophy and polyploidy vs. hyperplasia are still not fully understood. Long-non-coding-RNAs (LncRNAs) are epigenetic regulators of gene expression influencing biological processes, including cell division fidelity. We discovered a novel lncRNA decreased in dedifferentiated SMC, the SMC-Ang II-Sensitive (SAS) lncRNA, which expression is reduced in response to Ang-II in cultured SMC and the aorta of hypertensive mice, suggesting a role in mediating hypertension-induced SMC hypertrophy. Publicly available transcriptional datasets revealed that SAS is preferentially expressed in SMC-rich tissues, including the aorta and renal artery, in humans and mice. Yet, the functional relevance of SAS in SMC has never been investigated. Knockdown of SAS reduces proliferation and migration in SMC treated with Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF-BB). SAS knockdown was also associated with distinct SMC hypertrophic morphological changes, including enlargement in cell size and polynucleation in vitro. We have generated a SAS KO mouse, and aortas from these mice present a higher number of polynucleated medial SMC than their WT littermates. These data correlate with a cell cycle arrest in G1 and senescence phenotype that SAS deficient SMC present due to dysregulation in cyclins expression. Furthermore, SAS defective cells show mitochondria hyperfusion and increased oxygen consumption that correlates with the observed senescence and arrest on the G1/S checkpoint, and it is exacerbated by treatment with Ang-II. Interestingly, treatment with Losartan, an Ang-II receptor inhibitor, rescues SAS expression on Ang-II treated SMC and diminishes SMC hypertrophy. Together, these observations suggest that a decrease in SAS causes SMC hypertrophy due to defects in cell cycle completion. SAS is a potent regulator of SMC morphology and is required for proper cell division and mitochondria organization.

Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an epidemic affecting 30% of the US population. It is characterized by insulin resistance, and by defective lipid metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction in the liver. SLC25A34 is a major repressive target of miR-122, a miR that has a central role in NAFLD and liver cancer. However, little is known about the function of SLC25A34. To investigate SLC25A34 in vitro, mitochondrial respiration and bioenergetics were examined using hepatocytes depleted of Slc25a34 or overexpressing Slc25a34. To test the function of SLC25A34 in vivo, a hepatocyte-specific knockout mouse was generated, and loss of SLC25A34 was assessed in mice maintained on a chow diet and a fast-food diet (FFD), a model for NAFLD. Hepatocytes depleted of Slc25a34 displayed increased mitochondrial biogenesis, lipid synthesis, and ADP/ATP ratio; Slc25a34 overexpression had the opposite effect. In the knockout model on chow diet, SLC25A34 loss modestly affected liver function (altered glucose metabolism was the most pronounced defect). RNA-sequencing revealed changes in metabolic processes, especially fatty acid metabolism. After 2 months on FFD, knockouts had a more severe phenotype, with increased lipid content and impaired glucose tolerance, which was attenuated after longer FFD feeding (6 months). This work thus presents a novel model for studying SLC25A34 in vivo in which SLC25A34 plays a role in mitochondrial respiration and bioenergetics during NAFLD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lower urinary tract symptoms are known to significantly increase with age, negatively impacting quality of life and self-reliance. The urothelium fulfills crucial tasks, serving as a barrier protecting the underlying bladder tissue from the harsh chemical composition of urine, and exhibits signaling properties via the release of mediators within the bladder wall that affect bladder functioning. Aging is associated with detrimental changes in cellular health, in part by increasing oxidative stress in the bladder mucosa, and more specifically the urothelium. This, in turn, may impact urothelial mitochondrial health and bioenergetics. METHODS We collected mucosal tissue samples from both young (3-4 months old) and aged (25-30 months old) rats. Tissue was evaluated for p21-Arc, nitrotyrosine, and cytochrome C expression by western immunoblotting. Urothelial cells were cultured for single-cell imaging to analyze basal levels of reactive oxygen species and the mitochondrial membrane potential. Mitochondrial bioenergetics and cellular respiration were investigated by the Seahorse assay, and measurements of adenosine triphosphate release were made using the luciferin-luciferase assay. RESULTS Aging was associated with a significant increase in biomarkers of cellular senescence, oxidative stress, and basal levels of reactive oxygen species. The mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly lower in urothelial cell cultures from aged animals, and cultures from aged animals showed a significant decrease in mitochondrial bioenergetics. CONCLUSION Aging-related increases in oxidative stress and excessive reactive oxygen species may be contributing factors underlying lower urinary tract symptoms in older adults. The mechanisms outlined in this study could be utilized to identify novel pharmaceutical targets to improve aging-associated bladder dysfunction.

Abstract
Reactivation of the cell cycle and increase in proliferation rate (hyperplasia) is a common response of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) to modifications of their environment during remodeling. Although SMC hyperplasia is a predominant feature of many vascular diseases, SMC can also increase their mass within the remodeled vessel wall by enlarging their size and becoming hypertrophic. Hypertrophy is usually accompanied by cell cycle defects, cell polyploidy and binucleation, and senescence. However, the molecular mechanisms favoring SMC hypertrophy and their repercussion on SMC phenotype are not fully understood. Long-non-coding-RNAs (LncRNAs) are epigenetic regulators of gene expression, and they have been identified as modulators of cell division. We recently discovered a novel lncRNA, SAS (SMC-Angiotensin II-Sensitive), whose expression was markedly decreased in multiple models of SMC dedifferentiation, suggesting that SAS could regulate SMC phenotype and function. Publicly available transcriptional datasets revealed that SAS is preferentially expressed in SMC-rich tissues, including the aorta, in humans and mice. Yet, the functional relevance of SAS in SMC has never been investigated. Knockdown of SAS reduces proliferation, cell arrest and migration in aortic and renal artery-derived SMC treated with Platelet Derived Growth Factor. SAS knockdown was also associated with distinct SMC morphological changes including increase in cell size and binucleation demonstrating hypertrophy. Together, these observations suggest that decrease in SAS causes SMC hypertrophy due to defects in cell cycle completion and cytokinesis. Interestingly, SAS expression is decreased in response to Angiotensin-II in cultured VSMC and in the aorta of hypertensive mice (2 Kidney-1 Clip model), suggesting a role in mediating hypertension induced SMC hypertrophy. Similarly, to Angiotensin-II treatment, SAS knockdown promoted senescence. Furthermore, SAS deficient cells present mitochondria hyperfusion and increased oxygen consumption that correlates with the observed exacerbated senescence. Altogether, our results indicate that SAS is a potent regulator of VSMC morphology and is required for proper cell division and mitochondria organization.

Abstract
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a severe congenital heart disease with 30% mortality from heart failure (HF) in the first year of life, but the cause of early HF remains unknown. Induced pluripotent stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CM) from patients with HLHS showed that early HF is associated with increased apoptosis, mitochondrial respiration defects, and redox stress from abnormal mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening and failed antioxidant response. In contrast, iPSC-CM from patients without early HF showed normal respiration with elevated antioxidant response. Single-cell transcriptomics confirmed that early HF is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction accompanied with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. These findings indicate that uncompensated oxidative stress underlies early HF in HLHS. Importantly, mitochondrial respiration defects, oxidative stress, and apoptosis were rescued by treatment with sildenafil to inhibit mPTP opening or TUDCA to suppress ER stress. Together these findings point to the potential use of patient iPSC-CM for modeling clinical heart failure and the development of therapeutics.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide in mitochondria, limiting mitochondrial damage. The SOD2 amino acid valine-to-alanine substitution at position 16 (V16A) in the mitochondrial leader sequence is a common genetic variant among patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). However, little is known about the cardiovascular consequences of SOD2V16A in SCD patients or its impact on endothelial cell function. Here, we show SOD2V16A associates with increased tricuspid regurgitant velocity (TRV), systolic blood pressure, right ventricle area at systole, and declined 6-minute walk distance in 410 SCD patients. Plasma lactate dehydrogenase, a marker of oxidative stress and hemolysis, significantly associated with higher TRV. To define the impact of SOD2V16A in the endothelium, we introduced the SOD2V16A variant into endothelial cells. SOD2V16A increases hydrogen peroxide and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production compared with controls. Unexpectedly, the increased ROS was not due to SOD2V16A mislocalization but was associated with mitochondrial complex IV and a concomitant decrease in basal respiration and complex IV activity. In sum, SOD2V16A is a novel clinical biomarker of cardiovascular dysfunction in SCD patients through its ability to decrease mitochondrial complex IV activity and amplify ROS production in the endothelium.

Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic red blood cell disorder characterized by increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a concordant reduction in antioxidant capacity in the endothelium. Superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) is a mitochondrial-localized enzyme that catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide to hydrogen peroxide. Decreased peripheral blood expression of SOD2 is correlated with increased hemolysis and cardiomyopathy in SCD. Here, we report for the first time that endothelial cells exhibit reduced SOD2 protein expression in the pulmonary endothelium of SCD patients. To investigate the impact of decreased SOD2 expression in the endothelium, SOD2 was knocked down in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (hPMVECs). We found that SOD2 deficiency in hPMVECs results in endothelial cell dysfunction, including reduced cellular adhesion, diminished migration, integrin protein dysregulation, and disruption of permeability. Furthermore, we uncover that SOD2 mediates changes in endothelial cell function via processing of fibronectin through its inability to facilitate dimerization. These results demonstrate that endothelial cells are deficient in SOD2 expression in SCD patients and suggest a novel pathway for SOD2 in regulating fibronectin processing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that expression and activity of nitric oxide synthase-3 enzyme (Nos3) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) aortopathy are related to tissue layer and Nos3 genotype. METHODS Gene expression of Nos3 and platelet and endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (Pecam1) and NOS activity were measured in intima-containing media and adventitial specimens of ascending aortic tissue. The presence of 2 Nos3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; -786T/C and 894G/T) was determined for non-aneurysmal (NA) and aneurysmal patients with BAV (n = 40, 89, respectively); patients with tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) and aneurysm (n = 151); and NA patients with TAV (n = 100). RESULTS Elevated Nos3 relative to Pecam1 and reduced Pecam1 relative to a housekeeping gene were observed within intima-containing aortic specimens from BAV patients when compared with TAV patients. Lower Nos3 in the adventitia of aneurysmal specimens was noted when compared with specimens of NA aorta, independent of valve morphology. NOS activity was similar among cohorts in media/intima and decreased in the diseased adventitia, relative to control patients. Aneurysmal BAV patients exhibited an under-representation of the wild-type genotype for -786 SNP. No differences in genotype distribution were noted for 894 SNP. Primary intimal endothelial cells from patients with at least 1 C allele at -786 SNP exhibited lower Nos3 when compared with wild-type cells. CONCLUSIONS These findings of differential Nos3 in media/intima versus adventitia depending on valve morphology or aneurysm reveal new information regarding aneurysmal pathophysiology and support our ongoing assertion that there are distinct mechanisms giving rise to ascending aortopathy in BAV and TAV patients.

Abstract
Hemolysis, a pathological component of many diseases, is associated with thrombosis and vascular dysfunction. Hemolytic products, including cell-free hemoglobin and free heme directly activate platelets. However, the effect of hemolysis on platelet degranulation, a central process in not only thrombosis, but also inflammatory and mitogenic signaling, remains less clear. Our group showed that hemoglobin-induced platelet activation involved the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). However, the molecular mechanism by which extracellular hemolysis induces platelet mtROS production, and whether these mtROS regulate platelet degranulation remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate using isolated human platelets that cell free heme is a more potent agonist for platelet activation than hemoglobin, and stimulates the release of a specific set of molecules, including the glycoprotein thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), from the α-granule of platelets. We uncover the mechanism of heme-mediated platelet mtROS production which is dependent on the activation of platelet toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling and leads to the downstream phosphorylation and inhibition of complex-V by the serine kinase Akt. Notably, inhibition of platelet TLR4 or Akt, or scavenging of mtROS prevents heme-induced granule release in vitro. Further, heme-dependent granule release is significantly attenuated in vivo in mice lacking TLR4 or those treated with the mtROS scavenger MitoTEMPO. These data elucidate a novel mechanism of TLR4-mediated mitochondrial regulation, establish the mechanistic link between hemolysis and platelet degranulation, and begin to define the heme and mtROS-dependent platelet secretome. These data have implications for hemolysis-induced thrombo-inflammatory signaling and for the consideration of platelet mitochondria as a therapeutic target in hemolytic disorders.

Abstract
NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) regulates endothelial inflammation by producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and to a lesser extent O2•-. The ratio of NOX4-derived H2O2 and O2•- can be altered by coenzyme Q (CoQ) mimics. Therefore, we hypothesize that cytochrome b5 reductase 3 (CYB5R3), a CoQ reductase abundant in vascular endothelial cells, regulates inflammatory activation. To examine endothelial CYB5R3 in vivo, we created tamoxifen-inducible endothelium-specific Cyb5r3 knockout mice (R3 KO). Radiotelemetry measurements of systolic blood pressure showed systemic hypotension in lipopolysaccharides (LPS) challenged mice, which was exacerbated in R3 KO mice. Meanwhile, LPS treatment caused greater endothelial dysfunction in R3 KO mice, evaluated by acetylcholine-induced vasodilation in the isolated aorta, accompanied by elevated mRNA expression of vascular adhesion molecule 1 (Vcam-1). Similarly, in cultured human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC), LPS and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) induced VCAM-1 protein expression was enhanced by Cyb5r3 siRNA, which was ablated by silencing the Nox4 gene simultaneously. Moreover, super-resolution confocal microscopy indicated mitochondrial co-localization of CYB5R3 and NOX4 in HAECs. APEX2-based electron microscopy and proximity biotinylation also demonstrated CYB5R3's localization on the mitochondrial outer membrane and its interaction with NOX4, which was further confirmed by the proximity ligation assay. Notably, Cyb5r3 knockdown HAECs showed less total H2O2 but more mitochondrial O2•-. Using inactive or non-membrane bound active CYB5R3, we found that CYB5R3 activity and membrane translocation are needed for optimal generation of H2O2 by NOX4. Lastly, cells lacking the CoQ synthesizing enzyme COQ6 showed decreased NOX4-derived H2O2, indicating a requirement for endogenous CoQ in NOX4 activity. In conclusion, CYB5R3 mitigates endothelial inflammatory activation by assisting in NOX4-dependent H2O2 generation via CoQ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by hemolysis-associated platelet dysfunction that leads to increased risk of thrombosis and plays a role in the high morbidity and mortality of the disease. The mechanisms by which hemolysis induces platelet activation remain unclear. We recently demonstrated that patients with SCD showed increased platelet mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production that correlates with markers of hemolysis and platelet activation. Experiments in isolated platelets demonstrated that mtROS stimulated platelet activation. However, the role of hemolysis-induced mtROS in thrombus formation in vivo remains unclear. OBJECTIVES Here, we hypothesize that scavenging of mtROS attenuates the propensity for thrombosis in mouse models of hemolysis. METHODS We used models of hemolysate infusion into wildtype mice as well as the Berkley transgenic mouse model of SCD, a chronic mode of hemolysis, to test the effect of hemolysis on platelet mtROS production and thrombosis. RESULTS We show that infusion of hemolysate in wildtype mice induces platelet mtROS production and decreases time to vessel occlusion in a model of ferric chloride-induced carotid artery thrombosis. Increased mtROS and propensity for thrombosis was also observed in the Berkley transgenic mouse model of SCD. Notably, treatment with mtROS scavengers decreased platelet mtROS levels and attenuated the propensity for thrombus formation in both models. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that mtROS significantly contribute to the mechanism of hemolysis-induced thrombosis in vivo and suggest a potential role for mitochondrially targeted antioxidant therapy in hemolysis and SCD-related thrombosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction have metabolic syndrome and develop exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension (EIPH). Increases in pulmonary vascular resistance in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction portend a poor prognosis; this phenotype is referred to as combined precapillary and postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (CpcPH). Therapeutic trials for EIPH and CpcPH have been disappointing, suggesting the need for strategies that target upstream mechanisms of disease. This work reports novel rat EIPH models and mechanisms of pulmonary vascular dysfunction centered around the transcriptional repression of the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) enzyme in pulmonary artery (PA) smooth muscle cells. METHODS We used obese ZSF-1 leptin-receptor knockout rats (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction model), obese ZSF-1 rats treated with SU5416 to stimulate resting pulmonary hypertension (obese+sugen, CpcPH model), and lean ZSF-1 rats (controls). Right and left ventricular hemodynamics were evaluated using implanted catheters during treadmill exercise. PA function was evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging and myography. Overexpression of nuclear factor Y α subunit (NFYA), a transcriptional enhancer of sGC β1 subunit (sGCβ1), was performed by PA delivery of adeno-associated virus 6. Treatment groups received the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin in drinking water. PA smooth muscle cells from rats and humans were cultured with palmitic acid, glucose, and insulin to induce metabolic stress. RESULTS Obese rats showed normal resting right ventricular systolic pressures, which significantly increased during exercise, modeling EIPH. Obese+sugen rats showed anatomic PA remodeling and developed elevated right ventricular systolic pressure at rest, which was exacerbated with exercise, modeling CpcPH. Myography and magnetic resonance imaging during dobutamine challenge revealed PA functional impairment of both obese groups. PAs of obese rats produced reactive oxygen species and decreased sGCβ1 expression. Mechanistically, cultured PA smooth muscle cells from obese rats and humans with diabetes or treated with palmitic acid, glucose, and insulin showed increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, which enhanced miR-193b-dependent RNA degradation of nuclear factor Y α subunit (NFYA), resulting in decreased sGCβ1-cGMP signaling. Forced NYFA expression by adeno-associated virus 6 delivery increased sGCβ1 levels and improved exercise pulmonary hypertension in obese+sugen rats. Treatment of obese+sugen rats with empagliflozin improved metabolic syndrome, reduced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and miR-193b levels, restored NFYA/sGC activity, and prevented EIPH. CONCLUSIONS In heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and CpcPH models, metabolic syndrome contributes to pulmonary vascular dysfunction and EIPH through enhanced reactive oxygen species and miR-193b expression, which downregulates NFYA-dependent sGCβ1 expression. Adeno-associated virus-mediated NFYA overexpression and SGLT2 inhibition restore NFYA-sGCβ1-cGMP signaling and ameliorate EIPH.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) remains life-limiting despite numerous approved vasodilator therapies. Right ventricular (RV) function determines outcome in PAH but no treatments directly target RV adaptation. PAH is more common in women, yet women have better RV function and survival as compared to men with PAH. Lower levels of the adrenal steroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate ester are associated with more severe pulmonary vascular disease, worse RV function, and mortality independent of other sex hormones in men and women with PAH. DHEA has direct effects on nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) synthesis and signaling, direct antihypertrophic effects on cardiomyocytes, and mitigates oxidative stress. Effects of Dehydroepiandrosterone in Pulmonary Hypertension (EDIPHY) is an on-going randomized double-blind placebo-controlled crossover trial of DHEA in men (n = 13) and pre- and post-menopausal women (n = 13) with Group 1 PAH funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. We will determine whether orally administered DHEA 50 mg daily for 18 weeks affects RV longitudinal strain measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, markers of RV remodeling and oxidative stress, NO and ET-1 signaling, sex hormone levels, other PAH intermediate end points, side effects, and safety. The crossover design will elucidate sex-based phenotypes in PAH and whether active treatment with DHEA impacts NO and ET-1 biosynthesis. EDIPHY is the first clinical trial of an endogenous sex hormone in PAH. Herein we present the study’s rationale and experimental design.

Abstract
Non-Hispanic black individuals suffer from an elevated prevalence of hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) relative to other populations. This elevated disease risk is, in large part, related to impaired vascular function, secondary to reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary nitrate supplementation improves several cardiovascular parameters, including vascular function, in part by increased NO bioavailability. However, whether these findings extend to a population of black individuals is unknown. This study tested the hypothesis that forearm blood flow responses in young, non-Hispanic, black (BL) men during a mental stress challenge would be blunted relative to young, non-Hispanic, white (WH) men. We further hypothesized that acute dietary nitrate supplementation would improve this response in BL men. This study comprised two parts (phase 1 and phase 2). Phase 1 investigated the difference in blood flow responses between young, BL, and WH men. In contrast, phase 2 investigated the effect of acute nitrate supplementation on the responses in a subset of the BL men from phase 1. Eleven (nine for phase 2) BL and eight WH men (23 ± 3 vs. 24 ± 4 yr, respectively) participated in this double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, crossover study. During each visit, hemodynamic responses during 3 min of mental stress were assessed in the brachial artery using duplex Doppler ultrasound. Phase 1 was completed in one visit, whereas phase 2 was completed over two visits separated by ∼1 wk. During phase 2, data were collected before and 2-h postconsumption of a beverage either high in nitrate content or nitrate depleted. In phase 1, peak forearm blood flow (FBF; P < 0.001), total FBF (P < 0.01), and forearm vascular conductance (FVC; P < 0.001) were blunted in the BL. During phase 2, prebeverage responses were similar to phase 1 and were unaffected following beverage consumption (P > 0.05 vs. prebeverage for all variables). These data indicate that young, BL men have blunted microvascular vasodilatory responses to acute mental stress, which may not be altered following acute nitrate supplementation.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study tested the hypothesis that non-Hispanic black (BL) men have a blunted forearm hyperemic response to mental stress, which would be augmented following acute nitrate supplementation. The increase in forearm blood flow during mental stress was attenuated in BL men and was not impacted by nitrate supplementation. This supports findings of altered vascular function in this population. This is especially important as BL experience a higher prevalence of stress, which contributes to CVD risk.

Abstract
It is well established that myoglobin supports mitochondrial respiration through the storage and transport of oxygen as well as through the scavenging of nitric oxide. However, during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R), myoglobin and mitochondria both propagate myocardial injury through the production of oxidants. Nitrite, an endogenous signaling molecule and dietary constituent, mediates potent cardioprotection after I/R and this effect relies on its interaction with both myoglobin and mitochondria. While independent mechanistic studies have demonstrated that nitrite-mediated cardioprotection requires the presence of myoglobin and the post-translational S-nitrosation of critical cysteine residues on mitochondrial complex I, it is unclear whether myoglobin directly catalyzes the S-nitrosation of complex I or whether mitochondrial-dependent nitrite reductase activity contributes to S-nitrosation. Herein, using purified myoglobin and isolated mitochondria, we characterize and directly compare the nitrite reductase activities of mitochondria and myoglobin and assess their contribution to mitochondrial S-nitrosation. We demonstrate that myoglobin is a significantly more efficient nitrite reductase than isolated mitochondria. Further, deoxygenated myoglobin catalyzes the nitrite-dependent S-nitrosation of mitochondrial proteins. This reaction is enhanced in the presence of oxidized (Fe3+) myoglobin and not significantly affected by inhibitors of mitochondrial respiration. Using a Chinese Hamster Ovary cell model stably transfected with human myoglobin, we show that both myoglobin and mitochondrial complex I expression are required for nitrite-dependent attenuation of cell death after anoxia/reoxygenation. These data expand the understanding of myoglobin's role both as a nitrite reductase to a mediator of S-nitrosation and as a regulator of mitochondrial function, and have implications for nitrite-mediated cardioprotection after I/R.

Abstract
Alarmins, sequestered self-molecules containing damage-associated molecular patterns, are released during tissue injury to drive innate immune cell proinflammatory responses. Whether endogenous negative regulators controlling early immune responses are also released at the site of injury is poorly understood. Herein, we establish that the stromal cell-derived alarmin interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a local factor that directly restricts the proinflammatory capacity of graft-infiltrating macrophages early after transplantation. By assessing heart transplant recipient samples and using a mouse heart transplant model, we establish that IL-33 is upregulated in allografts to limit chronic rejection. Mouse cardiac transplants lacking IL-33 displayed dramatically accelerated vascular occlusion and subsequent fibrosis, which was not due to altered systemic immune responses. Instead, a lack of graft IL-33 caused local augmentation of proinflammatory iNOS+ macrophages that accelerated graft loss. IL-33 facilitated a metabolic program in macrophages associated with reparative and regulatory functions, and local delivery of IL-33 prevented the chronic rejection of IL-33-deficient cardiac transplants. Therefore, IL-33 represents what we believe is a novel regulatory alarmin in transplantation that limits chronic rejection by restraining the local activation of proinflammatory macrophages. The local delivery of IL-33 in extracellular matrix-based materials may be a promising biologic for chronic rejection prophylaxis.

Abstract
Sepsis and shock states impose mitochondrial stress, and in response, adaptive mechanisms such as fission, fusion and mitophagy are induced to eliminate damaged portions of or entire dysfunctional mitochondria. The mechanisms underlying these events are being elucidated; yet a direct link between loss of mitochondrial membrane potential ΔΨm and the initiation of fission, fusion and mitophagy remains to be well characterized. The direct association between the magnitude of the ΔΨm and the capacity for mitochondria to buffer Ca2+ renders Ca2+ uniquely suited as the signal engaging these mechanisms in circumstances of mitochondrial stress that lower the ΔΨm. Herein, we show that the calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) IV mediates an adaptive slowing in oxidative respiration that minimizes oxidative stress in the kidneys of mice subjected to either cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) sepsis or endotoxemia. CaMKIV shifts the balance towards mitochondrial fission and away from fusion by 1) directly phosphorylating an activating Serine616 on the fission protein DRP1 and 2) reducing the expression of the fusion proteins Mfn1/2 and OPA-1. CaMKIV, through its function as a direct PINK1 kinase and regulator of Parkin expression, also enables mitophagy. These data support that CaMKIV serves as a keystone linking mitochondrial stress with the adaptive mechanisms of mitochondrial fission, fusion and mitophagy that mitigate oxidative stress in the kidneys of mice responding to sepsis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously showed that the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) increases inflammatory cleaved caspase-1 activity in myocytes, and that caspase-1/11 is protective in sterile liver injury. However, the role of caspase-1/11 in the recovery of muscle from ischemia caused by peripheral arterial disease is unknown. We hypothesized that caspase-1/11 mediates recovery in muscle via effects on autophagy and this is modulated by CQ. METHODS C57Bl/6 J (WT) and caspase-1/11 double-knockout (KO) mice underwent femoral artery ligation (a model of hind-limb ischemia) with or without CQ (50 mg/kg IP every 2nd day). CQ effects on autophagosome formation, microtubule associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3), and caspase-1 expression was measured using electron microscopy and immunofluorescence. Laser Doppler perfusion imaging documented perfusion every 7 days. After 21 days, in situ physiologic testing in tibialis anterior muscle assessed peak force contraction, and myocyte size and fibrosis was also measured. Muscle satellite cell (MuSC) oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate was measured. Caspase-1 and glycolytic enzyme expression was detected by Western blot. RESULTS CQ increased autophagosomes, LC3 consolidation, total caspase-1 expression and cleaved caspase-1 in muscle. Perfusion, fibrosis, myofiber regeneration, muscle contraction, MuSC fusion, OCR, ECAR and glycolytic enzyme expression was variably affected by CQ depending on presence of caspase-1/11. CQ decreased perfusion recovery, fibrosis and myofiber size in WT but not caspase-1/11KO mice. CQ diminished peak force in whole muscle, and myocyte fusion in MuSC and these effects were exacerbated in caspase-1/11KO mice. CQ reductions in maximal respiration and ATP production were reduced in caspase-1/11KO mice. Caspase-1/11KO MuSC had significant increases in protein kinase isoforms and aldolase with decreased ECAR. CONCLUSION Caspase-1/11 signaling affects the response to ischemia in muscle and effects are variably modulated by CQ. This may be critically important for disease treated with CQ and its derivatives, including novel viral diseases (e.g. COVID-19) that are expected to affect patients with comorbidities like cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Withaferin A (WA) is a promising phytochemical exhibiting in vitro and in vivo anticancer activities against prostate and other cancers, but the mechanism of its action is not fully understood. In this study, we performed RNA-seq analysis using 22Rv1 human prostate cancer cell line to identify mechanistic targets of WA. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes showed most significant enrichment of genes associated with metabolism. These results were validated using LNCaP and 22Rv1 human prostate cancer cells and Hi-Myc transgenic mice as models. The intracellular levels of acetyl-CoA, total free fatty acids and neutral lipids were decreased significantly following WA treatment in both cells, which was accompanied by downregulation of mRNA (confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) and protein levels of key fatty acid synthesis enzymes, including ATP citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, fatty acid synthase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A. Ectopic expression of c-Myc, but not constitutively active Akt, conferred a marked protection against WA-mediated suppression of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 and fatty acid synthase protein expression, and clonogenic cell survival. WA was a superior inhibitor of cell proliferation and fatty acid synthesis in comparison with known modulators of fatty acid metabolism including cerulenin and etomoxir. Intraperitoneal WA administration to Hi-Myc transgenic mice (0.1 mg/mouse, three times/week for 5 weeks) also resulted in a significant decrease in circulating levels of total free fatty acids and phospholipids, and expression of ATP citrate lyase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, fatty acid synthase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A proteins in the prostate in vivo.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by altered epithelial cell phenotypes, which are associated with myofibroblast accumulation in the lung. Atypical alveolar epithelial cells in IPF express molecular markers of airway epithelium. Polymorphisms within and around Toll interacting protein (TOLLIP) are associated with the susceptibility to IPF and mortality. However, the functional role of TOLLIP in IPF is unknown. Using lung tissues from IPF and control subjects, we showed that expression of TOLLIP gene in the lung parenchyma is globally lower in IPF compared to controls. Lung cells expressing significant levels of TOLLIP include macrophages, alveolar type II, and basal cells. TOLLIP protein expression is lower in the parenchyma of IPF lungs but is expressed in the atypical epithelial cells of the distal fibrotic regions. Using overexpression and silencing approaches, we demonstrate that TOLLIP protects cells from bleomycin-induced apoptosis using primary bronchial epithelial cells and BEAS-2B cells. The protective effects are mediated by reducing mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and upregulating autophagy. Therefore, global downregulation of the TOLLIP gene in IPF lungs may predispose injured lung epithelial cells to apoptosis and to the development of IPF.

Mitochondria have emerged as a central factor in the pathogenesis and progression of heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases, as well, but no therapies are available to treat mitochondrial dysfunction. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute convened a group of leading experts in heart failure, cardiovascular diseases, and mitochondria research in August 2018. These experts reviewed the current state of science and identified key gaps and opportunities in basic, translational, and clinical research focusing on the potential of mitochondria-based therapeutic strategies in heart failure. The workshop provided short- and long-term recommendations for moving the field toward clinical strategies for the prevention and treatment of heart failure and cardiovascular diseases by using mitochondria-based approaches.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in most forms of heart failure. We have previously reported that Tead1, the transcriptional effector of Hippo pathway, is critical for maintaining adult cardiomyocyte function, and its deletion in adult heart results in lethal acute dilated cardiomyopathy. Growing lines of evidence indicate that Hippo pathway plays a role in regulating mitochondrial function, although its role in cardiomyocytes is unknown. Here, we show that Tead1 plays a critical role in regulating mitochondrial OXPHOS in cardiomyocytes. Assessment of mitochondrial bioenergetics in isolated mitochondria from adult hearts showed that loss of Tead1 led to a significant decrease in respiratory rates, with both palmitoylcarnitine and pyruvate/malate substrates, and was associated with reduced electron transport chain complex I activity and expression. Transcriptomic analysis from Tead1-knockout myocardium revealed genes encoding oxidative phosphorylation, TCA cycle, and fatty acid oxidation proteins as the top differentially enriched gene sets. Ex vivo loss of function of Tead1 in primary cardiomyocytes also showed diminished aerobic respiration and maximal mitochondrial oxygen consumption capacity, demonstrating that Tead1 regulation of OXPHOS in cardiomyocytes is cell autonomous. Taken together, our data demonstrate that Tead1 is a crucial transcriptional node that is a cell-autonomous regulator, a large network of mitochondrial function and biogenesis related genes essential for maintaining mitochondrial function and adult cardiomyocyte homeostasis.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Mitochondrial dysfunction constitutes an important aspect of heart failure etiopathogenesis and progression. However, the molecular mechanisms are still largely unknown. Growing lines of evidence indicate that Hippo-Tead pathway plays a role in cellular bioenergetics. This study reveals the novel role of Tead1, the downstream transcriptional effector of Hippo pathway, as a novel regulator of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and in vivo cardiomyocyte energy metabolism, thus providing a potential therapeutic target for modulating mitochondrial function and enhancing cytoprotection of cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) remains the most common cause of human poisoning. The consequences of CO poisoning include cardiac dysfunction, brain injury, and death. CO causes toxicity by binding to hemoglobin and by inhibiting mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase (CcO), thereby decreasing oxygen delivery and inhibiting oxidative phosphorylation. We have recently developed a CO antidote based on human neuroglobin (Ngb-H64Q-CCC). This molecule enhances clearance of CO from red blood cells in vitro and in vivo Herein, we tested whether Ngb-H64Q-CCC can also scavenge CO from CcO and attenuate CO-induced inhibition of mitochondrial respiration. Heart tissue from mice exposed to 3% CO exhibited a 42 ± 19% reduction in tissue respiration rate and a 33 ± 38% reduction in CcO activity compared with unexposed mice. Intravenous infusion of Ngb-H64Q-CCC restored respiration rates to that of control mice correlating with higher electron transport chain CcO activity in Ngb-H64Q-CCC-treated compared with PBS-treated, CO-poisoned mice. Further, using a Clark-type oxygen electrode, we measured isolated rat liver mitochondrial respiration in the presence and absence of saturating solutions of CO (160 μm) and nitric oxide (100 μm). Both CO and NO inhibited respiration, and treatment with Ngb-H64Q-CCC (100 and 50 μm, respectively) significantly reversed this inhibition. These results suggest that Ngb-H64Q-CCC mitigates CO toxicity by scavenging CO from carboxyhemoglobin, improving systemic oxygen delivery and reversing the inhibitory effects of CO on mitochondria. We conclude that Ngb-H64Q-CCC or other CO scavengers demonstrate potential as antidotes that reverse the clinical and molecular effects of CO poisoning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deficiencies of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters, metal complexes that control redox state and mitochondrial metabolism, have been linked to pulmonary hypertension (PH), a deadly vascular disease with poorly defined molecular origins. BOLA3 (BolA Family Member 3) regulates Fe-S biogenesis, and mutations in BOLA3 result in multiple mitochondrial dysfunction syndrome, a fatal disorder associated with PH. The mechanistic role of BOLA3 in PH remains undefined. METHODS In vitro assessment of BOLA3 regulation and gain- and loss-of-function assays were performed in human pulmonary artery endothelial cells using siRNA and lentiviral vectors expressing the mitochondrial isoform of BOLA3. Polymeric nanoparticle 7C1 was used for lung endothelium-specific delivery of BOLA3 siRNA oligonucleotides in mice. Overexpression of pulmonary vascular BOLA3 was performed by orotracheal transgene delivery of adeno-associated virus in mouse models of PH. RESULTS In cultured hypoxic pulmonary artery endothelial cells, lung from human patients with Group 1 and 3 PH, and multiple rodent models of PH, endothelial BOLA3 expression was downregulated, which involved hypoxia inducible factor-2α-dependent transcriptional repression via histone deacetylase 1-mediated histone deacetylation. In vitro gain- and loss-of-function studies demonstrated that BOLA3 regulated Fe-S integrity, thus modulating lipoate-containing 2-oxoacid dehydrogenases with consequent control over glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration. In contexts of siRNA knockdown and naturally occurring human genetic mutation, cellular BOLA3 deficiency downregulated the glycine cleavage system protein H, thus bolstering intracellular glycine content. In the setting of these alterations of oxidative metabolism and glycine levels, BOLA3 deficiency increased endothelial proliferation, survival, and vasoconstriction while decreasing angiogenic potential. In vivo, pharmacological knockdown of endothelial BOLA3 and targeted overexpression of BOLA3 in mice demonstrated that BOLA3 deficiency promotes histological and hemodynamic manifestations of PH. Notably, the therapeutic effects of BOLA3 expression were reversed by exogenous glycine supplementation. CONCLUSIONS BOLA3 acts as a crucial lynchpin connecting Fe-S-dependent oxidative respiration and glycine homeostasis with endothelial metabolic reprogramming critical to PH pathogenesis. These results provide a molecular explanation for the clinical associations linking PH with hyperglycinemic syndromes and mitochondrial disorders. These findings also identify novel metabolic targets, including those involved in epigenetics, Fe-S biogenesis, and glycine biology, for diagnostic and therapeutic development.

Abstract
The purpose was to determine the role of AMPK activation in the renal metabolic response to sepsis, the development of sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) and on survival. In a prospective experimental study, 167 10- to 12-week-old C57BL/6 mice underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and human proximal tubule epithelial cells (TEC; HK2) were exposed to inflammatory mix (IM), a combination of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). Renal/TEC metabolic fitness was assessed by monitoring the expression of drivers of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), the rates of utilization of OXPHOS/glycolysis in response to metabolic stress, and mitochondrial function by measuring O2 consumption rates (OCR) and the membrane potential (Δψm ). Sepsis/IM resulted in AKI, increased mortality, and in renal AMPK activation 6-24 hours after CLP/IM. Pharmacologic activation of AMPK with 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) or metformin during sepsis improved the survival, while AMPK inhibition with Compound C increased mortality, impaired mitochondrial respiration, decreased OCR, and disrupted TEC metabolic fitness. AMPK-driven protection was associated with increased Sirt 3 expression and restoration of metabolic fitness. Renal AMPK activation in response to sepsis/IM is an adaptive mechanism that protects TEC, organs, and the host by preserving mitochondrial function and metabolic fitness likely through Sirt3 signaling.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a highly dynamic network of membranes. Here, we combine live-cell microscopy with in situ cryo-electron tomography to directly visualize ER dynamics in several secretory cell types including pancreatic β-cells and neurons under near-native conditions. Using these imaging approaches, we identify a novel, mobile form of ER, ribosome-associated vesicles (RAVs), found primarily in the cell periphery, which is conserved across different cell types and species. We show that RAVs exist as distinct, highly dynamic structures separate from the intact ER reticular architecture that interact with mitochondria via direct intermembrane contacts. These findings describe a new ER subcompartment within cells.

Abstract
Microvascular obstruction is a common repercussion of percutaneous coronary intervention for distal microembolization, ischemia-reperfusion injury and inflammation, which increases post-myocardial infarction heart failure and mortality. Ultrasound-targeted microbubble cavitation (UTMC) may resolve microvascular obstruction while activating endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and increasing endothelium-derived nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. Nitrite, a cardioprotective agent, offers an additional source of NO and potential synergy with UTMC. UTMC and nitrite co-therapy increased microvascular perfusion and NO concentration in a rat hindlimb model. Using N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester for eNOS blockade, we found a three-way interaction effect between nitrite, UTMC and eNOS on microvascular perfusion and NO production. Modulating ultrasound peak negative acoustic pressure (0.33-1.5 MPa) significantly affected outcomes, while microbubble dosage (2 × 108 bubbles/mL, 1.5 mL/h to 1 × 109 bubbles/mL, 3 mL/h) did not. Nitrite co-therapy also protected against oxidative stress. Comparison of nitrite to sodium nitroprusside with UTMC revealed synergistic effects were specific to nitrite. Synergy between UTMC and nitrite holds therapeutic potential for cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is directly related to ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and a major obstacle in lung transplantation (LTx). Nitrite (NO2-), which is reduced in vivo to form nitric oxide (NO), has recently emerged as an intrinsic signaling molecule with a prominent role in cytoprotection against I/R injury. Using a murine model, we provide the evidence that nitrite mitigated I/R-induced injury by diminishing infiltration of immune cells in the alveolar space, reducing pulmonary edema, and improving pulmonary function. Ultrastructural studies support severe mitochondrial impairment in the lung undergoing I/R injury, which was significantly protected by nitrite treatment. Nitrite also abrogated the increased pulmonary vascular permeability caused by I/R. In vitro, hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) exacerbated cell death in lung epithelial and microvascular endothelial cells. This contributed to mitochondrial dysfunction as characterized by diminished complex I activity and mitochondrial membrane potential but increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). Pretreatment of cells with nitrite robustly attenuated mtROS production through modulation of complex I activity. These findings illustrate a potential novel mechanism in which nitrite protects the lung against I/R injury by regulating mitochondrial bioenergetics and vascular permeability.

Abstract
Accumulating studies demonstrate that mitochondrial genetics and function are central to determining the susceptibility to, and prognosis of numerous diseases across all organ systems. Despite this recognition, mitochondrial function remains poorly characterized in humans primarily due to the invasiveness of obtaining viable tissue for mitochondrial studies. Recent studies have begun to test the hypothesis that circulating blood cells, which can be obtained by minimally invasive methodology, can be utilized as a biomarker of systemic bioenergetic function in human populations. Here we present the available methodologies for assessing blood cell bioenergetics and review studies that have applied these techniques to healthy and disease populations. We focus on the validation of this methodology in healthy subjects, as well as studies testing whether blood cell bioenergetics are altered in disease, correlate with clinical parameters, and compare with other methodology for assessing human mitochondrial function. Finally, we present the challenges and goals for the development of this emerging approach into a tool for translational research and personalized medicine.
