Selenium has been shown to possess antioxidant and neuroprotective effects by modulating mitochondrial function and activating mitochondrial biogenesis. Our previous study has also suggested that selenium protected neurons against glutamate toxicity and hyperglycemia-induced damage by regulating mitochondrial fission and fusion. However, it is still not known whether the mitochondrial biogenesis is involved in selenium alleviating hyperglycemia-aggravated cerebral ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury. The object of this study is to define whether selenium protects neurons against hyperglycemia-aggravated cerebral I/R injury by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis. In vitro oxygen deprivation plus high glucose model decreased cell viability, enhanced reactive oxygen species production, and meanwhile stimulated mitochondrial biogenesis signaling. Pretreated with selenium significantly decreased cell death and further activated the mitochondrial biogenesis signaling. In vivo 30 min of middle cerebral artery occlusion in the rats under hyperglycemic condition enhanced neurological deficits, enlarged infarct volume, exacerbated neuronal damage and oxidative stress compared with normoglycemic ischemic rats after 24 h reperfusion. Consistent to the in vitro results, selenium treatment alleviated ischemic damage in hyperglycemic ischemic animals. Furthermore, selenium reduced the structural changes of mitochondria caused by hyperglycemic ischemia and further promoted the mitochondrial biogenesis signaling. Selenium activates mitochondrial biogenesis signaling, protects mitochondrial structure integrity and ameliorates cerebral I/R injury in hyperglycemic rats. 相似文献

Silver nanoparticles (AgNP), one of the most commonly used engineered nanomaterial for biomedical and industrial applications, has shown a toxic potential to our ecosystems and humans. In this study, murine hippocampal neuronal HT22 cells were used to delineate subcellular responses and mechanisms to AgNP by assessing the response levels of caspase-3, mitochondrial oxygen consumption, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and mitochondrial membrane potential in addition to cell viability testing. Selenium, an essential trace element that has been known to carry protecting property from heavy metals, was tested for its ameliorating potential in the cells exposed to AgNP. Results showed that AgNP reduced cell viability. The toxicity was associated with mitochondrial membrane depolarization, increased accumulation of ROS, elevated mitochondrial oxygen consumption, and caspase-3 activation. Treatment with sodium selenite reduced cell death, stabilized mitochondrial membrane potential and oxygen consumption rate, and prevented accumulation of ROS and activation of caspase-3. It is concluded that AgNP induces mitochondrial stress and treatment with selenite is capable of preventing the adverse effects of AgNP on the mitochondria. 相似文献

Isolated rat liver mitochondria undergo permeability transition after supplementation with a suspension of tobacco mosaic virus. Four mitochondrial parameters proved the opening of the permeability transition pore in the inner mitochondrial membrane: increased oxygen consumption, collapse of the membrane potential, release of calcium ions from mitochondria, and high amplitude mitochondrial swelling. All virus-induced changes in mitochondria were prevented by cyclosporin A. These effects were not observed if the virus was treated with EGTA or disrupted by heating. Protein component of the virus particle in the form of 20S aggregate A-protein, or helical polymer, as well as supernatant of the heat-disrupted virus sample, had no effect on mitochondrial functioning. Electron microscopy revealed the direct interaction of the virus particles with isolated mitochondria. The possible role of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore in virus-induced apoptosis is discussed. 相似文献

Macroautophagy (hereafter, autophagy) plays a critical role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by degrading protein aggregates and dysfunctional/damaged organelles. We recently reported that silencing the recessive familial Parkinson disease gene encoding PTEN-induced kinase 1 (PINK1) leads to neuronal cell death accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction and Drp1-dependent fragmentation. In this model, mitochondrial fission and Beclin 1-dependent autophagy play protective roles, cooperating to sequester and eliminate damaged mitochondria. We discuss the role of superoxide and other reactive oxygen species upstream of mitochondrial depolarization, fission, and autophagy in PINK1 knockdown lines. PINK1 deficiency appears to trigger several compensatory responses that together facilitate clearance of depolarized mitochondria, through a mechanism that is further enhanced by increased expression of parkin. These data offer additional insights that broaden the spectrum of potential interactions between PINK1 and parkin with respect to the regulation of mitochondrial homeostasis and mitophagy. 相似文献

Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent cellular degradation process. Organisms bearing deletions of the essential autophagy genes exhibit various pathological conditions, including cancer in mammals and shortened life span in C. elegans. The direct cause forthese phenotypes is not clear. Here we used yeast as a model system to characterize the cellular consequence of ATG (autophagy-related) gene deletions. We found that the atgmutant strains, atg1delta, atg6delta, atg8delta and atg12delta, showed defects related to mitochondrial biology. These strains were unable to degrade mitochondria in stationary culture. In non-fermentable medium, which requires mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for survival, these atg strains showed a growth defect with an increased cell population at the G(1) phase of the cell cycle. The cells had lower oxygen consumption rates and reduced mitochondrial electron transport chain activities. Under these growth conditions, the atg strains had lower mitochondrial membrane potential. In addition, these mutants generated higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and they were prone to accumulate dysfunctional mitochondria. This study clearly indicates that an autophagy defect has a functional impact on various aspects of mitochondrial functions and suggests a critical role of autophagy in mitochondria maintenance. 相似文献

Many cell death pathways, including apoptosis, regulated necrosis, and ferroptosis, are relevant for neuronal cell death and share common mechanisms such as the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial damage. Here, we present the role of the actin-regulating protein cofilin1 in regulating mitochondrial pathways in oxidative neuronal death. Cofilin1 deletion in neuronal HT22 cells exerted increased mitochondrial resilience, assessed by quantification of mitochondrial ROS production, mitochondrial membrane potential, and ATP levels. Further, cofilin1-deficient cells met their energy demand through enhanced glycolysis, whereas control cells were metabolically impaired when challenged by ferroptosis. Further, cofilin1 was confirmed as a key player in glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity and associated mitochondrial damage in primary cortical neurons. Using isolated mitochondria and recombinant cofilin1, we provide a further link to toxicity-related mitochondrial impairment mediated by oxidized cofilin1. Our data revealed that the detrimental impact of cofilin1 on mitochondria depends on the oxidation of cysteine residues at positions 139 and 147. Overall, our findings show that cofilin1 acts as a redox sensor in oxidative cell death pathways of ferroptosis, and also promotes glutamate excitotoxicity. Protective effects by cofilin1 inhibition are particularly attributed to preserved mitochondrial integrity and function. Thus, interfering with the oxidation and pathological activation of cofilin1 may offer an effective therapeutic strategy in neurodegenerative diseases.Subject terms: Apoptosis, Cell death in the nervous system, Neurodegeneration 相似文献

Mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cause excessive production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and shorten animal life span. We examined the mechanisms responsible for removal of mitochondria with deleterious mtDNA mutations by autophagy. Incubation of primary cells and cell lines in the absence of serum promotes autophagy of mitochondria with deleterious mtDNA mutations but spares their normal counterparts. The effect of serum withdrawal on the autophagy of dysfunctional mitochondria is prevented by the addition of IGF-1. As a result of the elimination of mitochondria with deleterious mutations, excessive ROS production, characteristic of dysfunctional mitochondria, is greatly reduced. Mitochondrial autophagy shares a common mechanism with mitochondrial-induced cell apoptosis, including mitochondrial transition pore formation and increased ROS production. 相似文献

AbstractIncreased production of reactive nitrogen (RNS) and oxygen (ROS) species and its detrimental effect to mitochondria are associated with endothelial dysfunction. This study was designed to determine the effect of a peroxynitrite flux, promoted by 1,3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1), in mitochondrial function and some redox homeostasis parameters in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC). Moreover, the effect of diphenyl diselenide (PhSe) 2, a simple organic selenium compound, in preventing peroxynitrite-mediated cytotoxicity was also investigated. Our results showed that overnight exposure to SIN-1 (250 μM) caused a profound impairment of oxygen consumption, energy generation and reserve capacity in mitochondria of BAEC. Mitochondrial dysfunction resulted in an additional intracellular production of peroxynitrite, amplifying the phenomenon and leading to changes in redox homeostasis. Moreover, we observed an extensive decline in mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ m) induced by peroxynitrite and this event was associated with apoptotic-type cell death. Alternatively, the pretreatment of BAEC with (PhSe) 2, hindered peroxynitrite-mediated cell damage by preserving mitochondrial and endothelial function and consequently preventing apoptosis. The protective effect of (PhSe) 2 was related to its ability to improve the intracellular redox state by increasing the expression of different isoforms of peroxiredoxins (Prx–1–3), efficient enzymes in peroxynitrite detoxification. 相似文献

Aberrant levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) rapidly generated from NADPH oxidase (NOX) activation can be cytotoxic due to activating pro-apoptotic signals. However, ROS also induce pro-survival autophagy through the engulfment of damaged mitochondria. This study is aimed at investigating the cytoprotective role of albumin against NOX/ROS-induced autophagy and apoptosis under serum starvation. Serum starvation induced apoptosis following a myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (Mcl-1)/Bax imbalance, loss of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and caspase activation accompanied by pro-survival autophagy following canonical inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Aberrant ROS generation, initially occurring through NOX, facilitated mitochondrial damage, autophagy, and apoptosis. Autophagy additionally regulated the accumulation of ROS-generating mitochondria. NOX/ROS permitted p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK)-regulated mitochondrial apoptosis, accompanied by non-canonical induction of autophagy. In addition, activation of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β by NOX/ROS-inactivated Akt facilitated a decrease in Mcl-1, followed by mitochondrial apoptosis as well as autophagy. Restoring albumin conferred an anti-oxidative effect against serum starvation-deregulated NOX, p38 MAPK, and Akt/GSK-3β/Mcl-1/caspase-3 signaling. Albumin also prevented autophagy by sustaining mTORC1. These results indicate an anti-oxidative role for albumin via preventing NOX/ROS-mediated mitochondrial signaling to stimulate apoptosis as well as autophagy. Autophagy, initially induced by canonical inhibition of mTORC1 and enhanced by non-canonical mitochondrial damage, acts physically as a pro-survival mechanism. 相似文献

In liver the mitochondrial sirtuin, SIRT5, controls ammonia detoxification by regulating CPS1, the first enzyme of the urea cycle. However, while SIRT5 is ubiquitously expressed, urea cycle and CPS1 are only present in the liver and, to a minor extent, in the kidney. To address the possibility that SIRT5 is involved in ammonia production also in nonliver cells, clones of human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and mouse myoblast C2C12, overexpressing or silenced for SIRT5 were produced. Our results show that ammonia production increased in SIRT5-silenced and decreased in SIRT5-overexpressing cells. We also obtained the same ammonia increase when using a new specific inhibitor of SIRT5 called MC3482. SIRT5 regulates ammonia production by controlling glutamine metabolism. In fact, in the mitochondria, glutamine is transformed in glutamate by the enzyme glutaminase, a reaction producing ammonia. We found that SIRT5 and glutaminase coimmunoprecipitated and that SIRT5 inhibition resulted in an increased succinylation of glutaminase. We next determined that autophagy and mitophagy were increased by ammonia by measuring autophagic proteolysis of long-lived proteins, increase of autophagy markers MAP1LC3B, GABARAP, and GABARAPL2, mitophagy markers BNIP3 and the PINK1-PARK2 system as well as mitochondrial morphology and dynamics. We observed that autophagy and mitophagy increased in SIRT5-silenced cells and in WT cells treated with MC3482 and decreased in SIRT5-overexpressing cells. Moreover, glutaminase inhibition or glutamine withdrawal completely prevented autophagy. In conclusion we propose that the role of SIRT5 in nonliver cells is to regulate ammonia production and ammonia-induced autophagy by regulating glutamine metabolism. 相似文献

Supplementation of selenium has been shown to protect cells against free radical mediated cell damage. The objectives of this study are to examine whether supplementation of selenium stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis signaling pathways and whether selenium enhances mitochondrial functional performance. Murine hippocampal neuronal HT22 cells were treated with sodium selenite for 24 hours. Mitochondrial biogenesis markers, mitochondrial respiratory rate and activities of mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes were measured and compared to non-treated cells. The results revealed that treatment of selenium to the HT22 cells elevated the levels of nuclear mitochondrial biogenesis regulators PGC-1α and NRF1, as well as mitochondrial proteins cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase IV (COX IV). These effects are associated with phosphorylation of Akt and cAMP response element-binding (CREB). Supplementation of selenium significantly increased mitochondrial respiration and improved the activities of mitochondrial respiratory complexes. We conclude that selenium activates mitochondrial biogenesis signaling pathway and improves mitochondrial function. These effects may be associated with modulation of AKT-CREB pathway. 相似文献

Physical exercise is considered to exert a positive effect on health, whereas strenuous or excessive exercise (Exe) causes fatigue and damage to muscle and immune functions. The underlying molecular mechanisms are still unclear. We designed a protocol to mimic Exe and explore the ensuing cellular damage and involvement of mitochondrial dynamics. We found that Exe was prone to decrease endurance capacity and induce damage to renal function and the immune system. Muscle atrophy markers atrogin-1 and MuRF1 mRNA were increased by Exe, accompanied by increased autophagy and mitochondrial fission in skeletal muscle. Exe caused a decrease in PGC-1α and complex I expression; it also activated JNK and Erk1/2 pathways and consequently induced p53, p21, and MnSOD expression in skeletal muscle. The involvement of oxidant-induced autophagy and mitochondrial dysfunction was confirmed in C2C12 myoblasts. Hydroxytyrosol (HT), a natural olive polyphenol, efficiently enhanced endurance capacity and prevented Exe-induced renal and immune system damage. Also, HT treatment inhibited both the Exe-induced increase in autophagy and mitochondrial fission and the decrease in PGC-1α expression. In addition, HT enhanced mitochondrial fusion and mitochondrial complex I and II activities in muscle of Exe rats. These results demonstrate that Exe-induced fatigue and damage to muscle and immune functions may be mediated via the regulation of mitochondrial dynamic remodeling, including the downregulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and upregulation of autophagy. HT supplementation may regulate mitochondrial dynamic remodeling and enhance antioxidant defenses and thus improve exercise capacity under Exe conditions. 相似文献

Mitochondria serve as membrane sources and signaling platforms for regulating autophagy. Accumulating evidence has also shown that damaged mitochondria are removed through both selective mitophagy and general autophagy in response to mitochondrial and oxidative stresses. Protein ubiquitination through mitochondrial E3 ligases plays an integrative role in mitochondrial outer membrane protein degradation, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitophagy. Here we showed that MUL1, a mitochondria-localized E3 ligase, regulates selenite-induced mitophagy in an ATG5 and ULK1-dependent manner. ULK1 partially translocated to mitochondria after selenite treatment and interacted with MUL1. We also demonstrated that ULK1 is a novel substrate of MUL1. These results suggest the association of mitochondria with autophagy regulation and provide a new mechanism for the beneficial effects of selenium as a chemopreventive agent. 相似文献

The Bcl2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa interacting protein 3 (Bnip3) is an atypical BH3-only protein that is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death. Bnip3 is also a potent inducer of mitochondrial autophagy, and in this study we have investigated the mechanisms by which Bnip3 induces autophagy in cardiac myocytes. We found that Bnip3 induced mitochondrial translocation of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), a protein involved in mitochondrial fission in adult myocytes. Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission correlated with increased autophagy, and inhibition of Drp1 reduced Bnip3-mediated autophagy. Overexpression of Drp1K38E, a dominant negative of Drp1, or mitofusin 1 prevented mitochondrial fission and autophagy by Bnip3. Also, inhibition of mitochondrial fission or autophagy resulted in increased death of myocytes overexpressing Bnip3. Moreover, Bnip3 promoted translocation of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin to mitochondria, which was prevented in the presence of a Drp1 inhibitor. Interestingly, induction of autophagy by Bnip3 was reduced in Parkin-deficient myocytes. Thus our data suggest that induction of autophagy in response to Bnip3 is a protective response activated by the cell that involves Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission and recruitment of Parkin. 相似文献

Oxidative stress can damage various cellular components of osteoblasts, and is regarded as a pivotal pathogenic factor for bone loss. Increasing evidence indicates a significant role of cell autophagy in response to oxidative stress. However, the role of autophagy in the osteoblasts under oxidative stress remains to be clarified. In this study, we verified that hydrogen peroxide induced autophagy and apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner in osteoblastic Mc3T3-E1 cells. Both 3-methyladenine (the early steps of autophagy inhibitor) and bafilomycin A1 (the last steps of autophagy inhibitor) enhanced the cell apoptosis and reactive oxygen species level in the osteoblasts insulted by hydrogen peroxide. However, promotion of autophagy with either a pharmacologic inducer (rapamycin) or the Beclin-1 overexpressing technique rescued the cell apoptosis and reduced the reactive oxygen species level in the cells. Treatment with H 2O 2 significantly increased the levels of carbonylated proteins, malondialdehyde and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine, decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential, and increased the mitochondria-mediated apoptosis markers. The damaged mitochondria were cleared by autophagy. Furthermore, the molecular levels of the endoplasmic reticula stress signaling pathway changed in hydrogen peroxide-treated Mc3T3-E1 cells, and blocking this stress signaling pathway by RNA interference against candidates of glucose-regulated protein 78 and protein kinase-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase decreased autophagy while increasing apoptosis in the cells. In conclusion, oxidative damage to osteoblasts could be alleviated by early autophagy through the endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway. Our findings suggested that modulation of osteoblast autophagy could have a potentially therapeutic value for osteoporosis. 相似文献

Varying osmolarity with sucrose/KCl media resulted in similar effects on the oxidation of glutamate by mitochondria isolated from the livers of an elasmobranch, Raja erinacea, and a teleost, Pseudopleuronectes americanus. In both species trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) inhibited mitochondrial oxidation of glutamate. Urea penetrated the inner mitochondrial membrane of both species and equilibrated with a ratio ureai/ureao of unity. Urea had little effect on the oxidation of glutamate in both species at concentrations as high as 760 mM. Addition of urea (urea/TMAO, 2:1) did not overcome the detrimental effects of TMAO in the mitochondria of either species. In the case of the elasmobranch, the osmolarity of the urea/TMAO media giving the optimal rate of respiration was hypoosmotic with respect to the intracellular osmolarity. The rate of glutamate oxidation steadily declined as osmolarity increased above this value. Assuming the osmotic profile obtained with the urea/TMAO (2:1) medium resembled most closely the in vivo situation, higher rates of oxidation or organic solutes at low osmolarity would help deplete the cell of these solutes and could contribute to cell volume regulation during hypoosmotic stress. It is suggested that two broad classes of intracellular solutes can be defined based on their effects on mitochondrial respiration. Solutes such as K+, C1-, and TMAO penetrate the inner mitochondrial membrane slowly or not at all. Increasing concentrations of these solutes result in lower rates of oxidation. This capacity may be important in regulating intracellular levels of organic solutes during osmotic stress. Solutes such as urea rapidly penetrate the cell and inner mitochondrial membrane reducing the mitochondrial volume changes associated with osmotic stress. The known detrimental effects of urea on protein structure may prevent its exclusive use as an intracellular osmotic effector. 相似文献

Pathological neuronal inclusions of the 43-kDa TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) are implicated in dementia and motor neuron disorders; however, the molecular mechanisms of the underlying cell loss remain poorly understood. Here we used a yeast model to elucidate cell death mechanisms upon expression of human TDP-43. TDP-43-expressing cells displayed markedly increased markers of oxidative stress, apoptosis, and necrosis. Cytotoxicity was dose- and age-dependent and was potentiated upon expression of disease-associated variants. TDP-43 was localized in perimitochondrial aggregate-like foci, which correlated with cytotoxicity. Although the deleterious effects of TDP-43 were significantly decreased in cells lacking functional mitochondria, cell death depended neither on the mitochondrial cell death proteins apoptosis-inducing factor, endonuclease G, and cytochrome c nor on the activity of cell death proteases like the yeast caspase 1. In contrast, impairment of the respiratory chain attenuated the lethality upon TDP-43 expression with a stringent correlation between cytotoxicity and the degree of respiratory capacity or mitochondrial DNA stability. Consistently, an increase in the respiratory capacity of yeast resulted in enhanced TDP-43-triggered cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, and cell death markers. These data demonstrate that mitochondria and oxidative stress are important to TDP-43-triggered cell death in yeast and may suggest a similar role in human TDP-43 pathologies. 相似文献

Age-related increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is particularly detrimental in postmitotic tissues. Calorie restriction
(CR) has been shown to exert beneficial effects, consistent with reduced ROS generation by mitochondria. Many antioxidant
compounds also mimic such effects. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) provides thiol groups to glutathione and to mitochondrial respiratory chain proteins; thus, it may
counteract both ROS generation and effects. In the present study we investigated, in different rat brain areas during aging
(6, 12, and 28 months), the effect of 1-year treatment with CR and dietary supplementation with NAC on the expression of subunit
39 kDa and ND-1 (mitochondrial respiratory complex I), subunit IV (complex IV), subunit α of F 0F 1-ATP synthase (complex V) and of adenine nucleotide translocator, isoform 1 (ANT-1). The observed age-related changes of expression
were prevented by the dietary treatments. The present study provides further evidence for the critical role of mitochondria
in the aging process. 相似文献
