The ETC generates an electrochemical gradient, known as the proton motive force, consisting of the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ<sub>m</sub>, the major component in mammals) and ΔpH across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Both ATP production and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are linked to ΔΨ<sub>m</sub>, and it has been shown that an imbalance in ΔΨ<sub>m</sub> beyond the physiological optimal intermediate range results in excessive ROS production. The reaction of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) of the ETC with its small electron donor cytochrome c (Cytc) is the proposed rate-limiting step in mammals under physiological conditions. The rate at which this redox reaction occurs controls ΔΨ<sub>m</sub> and thus ATP and ROS production. Multiple mechanisms are in place that regulate this reaction to meet the cell's energy demand and respond to acute stress. COX and Cytc have been shown to be regulated by all three main mechanisms, which we discuss in detail: allosteric regulation, tissue-specific isoforms, and post-translational modifications for which we provide a comprehensive catalog and discussion of their functional role with 55 and 50 identified phosphorylation and acetylation sites on COX, respectively. Disruption of these regulatory mechanisms has been found in several common human diseases, including stroke and myocardial infarction, inflammation including sepsis, and diabetes, where changes in COX or Cytc phosphorylation lead to mitochondrial dysfunction contributing to disease pathophysiology. Identification and subsequent targeting of the underlying signaling pathways holds clear promise for future interventions to improve human health. An example intervention is the recently discovered noninvasive COX-inhibitory infrared light therapy that holds promise to transform the current standard of clinical care in disease conditions where COX regulation has gone awry.</p>","PeriodicalId":20998,"journal":{"name":"Redox Biology","volume":"78 ","pages":"103426"},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142681831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to test if brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) deficiency <em>per se</em> is sufficient to cause myositis and determine its underlying mechanism. We found that ablating BDNF production in skeletal muscle is sufficient to trigger myositis development in mice. Muscle-specific <em>Bdnf</em> knockout (MBKO) mice displayed extensive myocyte necrosis, mononuclear cell infiltration, and myophagocytosis. In association with these damages, elevated production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL) 23, IL-1β, IL-18, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) was found in the muscle of MBKO mice. Disruption of sarcolemma integrity was also detected in MBKO mice, which is a result of necroptosis executioner Mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) and pyroptosis executioner Gasdermin D (GSDMD) activation. Mechanistically, diminishing BDNF synthesis in myotubes enhances the accumulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS), which sensitizes the cells towards TNFα-induced receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPs) activation and promotes the formation of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3)-containing inflammasome. BDNF deficiency-induced cell death could be alleviated by scavenging mtROS, suppressing the activity of GSDMD, or inhibiting receptor-interacting kinase 3 (RIP3). Similarly, supplementation of BDNF mimetics, suppression of RIP3 activity, increasing the intramyocellular antioxidant, or enhancing mitophagy ameliorated the myopathies of MBKO mice and improved their muscle strength. Together, our study demonstrates that insufficient BDNF production in mouse muscle causes the development of pathological features of myositis via enhancing oxidative stress, necroptosis, and pyroptosis in myofibers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20998,"journal":{"name":"Redox Biology","volume":"78 ","pages":"Article 103418"},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142627153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sepsis accounts for over 50 % of AKI cases in the ICU. Recent findings from our research indicated that the PRD1-BF1-RIZ1 homeodomain protein 16 (PRDM16) inhibited the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, its precise role and regulatory mechanism in sepsis-induced AKI remain obscure. This study reveals that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) instigated PRDM16 expression in Boston University mouse proximal tubule (BUMPT) cells and mouse kidneys, respectively. Functionally, PRDM16 curtailed LPS-induced ferroptosis. Mechanistically, PRDM16 associates with the promoter regions of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (NRF2) and augments its expression, subsequently enhancing glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) expression. Additionally, PRDM16 directly engages with the promoter regions of GPX4, stimulating its expression. Notably, these observations were corroborated in human renal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells. Furthermore, the ablation of PRDM16 from kidney proximal tubules in mice inhibited NRF2 and GPX4 expression, leading to decreased glutathione (GSH)/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratio, increased Fe<sup>2+</sup> and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, exacerbated ferroptosis, and AKI progression. Conversely, PRDM16 knock-in exhibited the opposite effects. Ultimately, adenovirus (ADV)-PRDM16 plasmid or poly (lactide-glycolide acid) (PLGA)-encapsulated formononetin not only mitigated sepsis-induced AKI but also alleviated liver, cardiac, and lung injury. In summary, PRDM16 inhibits ferroptosis via the NRF2/GPX4 axis or GPX4 to prevent sepsis-induced multi-organ injury, including AKI.

Transcriptome sequencing revealed increased expression of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex proteins in the brains of APP/PS1 mice after Givinostat treatment.

Additionally, it improved mitochondrial morphology and quantity in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice and enhanced brain glucose metabolic activity.

TXNIP KO mice exhibited attenuated airway inflammation and downregulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome compared to wild-type controls, while AAV-mediated TXNIP overexpression mice showed exacerbated inflammatory responses, including elevated NLRP3 inflammasome expression, compared to AAV-GFP controls.
