Mitochondrial morphology is governed by the balance of mitochondrial fusion, mediated by mitofusins and optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), and fission, mediated by dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1). Disordered mitochondrial dynamics alters metabolism, proliferation, apoptosis and mitophagy, contributing to human diseases, including neurodegenerative syndromes, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), cancer and ischemia/reperfusion injury. Post-translational regulation of Drp1 (by phosphorylation and SUMOylation) is an established means of modulating Drp1 activation and translocation to the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM). This review focuses on Drp1 adaptor proteins that also regulate fission. The proteins include fission 1 (Fis1), mitochondrial fission factor (Mff) and mitochondrial dynamics proteins of 49 kDa and 51 kDa (MiD49, MiD51). Heterologous MiD overexpression sequesters inactive Drp1 on the OMM, promoting fusion; conversely, increased endogenous MiD creates focused Drp1 multimers that optimize OMM scission. The triggers that activate MiD-bound Drp1 in disease states are unknown; however, MiD51 has a unique capacity for ADP binding at its nucleotidyltransferase domain. Without ADP, MiD51 inhibits Drp1, whereas ADP promotes MiD51-mediated fission, suggesting a link between metabolism and fission. Confusion over whether MiDs mediate fusion (by sequestering inactive Drp1) or fission (by guiding Drp1 assembly) relates to a failure to consider cell types used and to distinguish endogenous compared with heterologous changes in expression. We speculate that endogenous MiDs serve as Drp1-binding partners that are dysregulated in disease states and may be important targets for inhibiting cell proliferation and ischemia/reperfusion injury. Moreover, it appears that the composition of the fission apparatus varies between disease states and amongst individuals. MiDs may be important targets for inhibiting cell proliferation and attenuating ischemia/reperfusion injury.

AbstractMitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy are constitutive and complex systems that ensure a healthy mitochondrial network through the segregation and subsequent degradation of damaged mitochondria. Disruption of these systems can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and has been established as a central mechanism of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Emerging evidence suggests that mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy are integrated systems; however, the role of this relationship in the context of I/R injury remains unclear. To investigate this concept, we utilized primary cortical neurons isolated from the novel dual-reporter mitochondrial quality control knockin mice (C57BL/6-Gt(ROSA)26Sortm1(CAG-mCherry/GFP)Ganl/J) with conditional knockout (KO) of Drp1 to investigate changes in mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagic flux during in vitro I/R injury. Mitochondrial dynamics was quantitatively measured in an unbiased manner using a machine learning mitochondrial morphology classification system, which consisted of four different classifications: network, unbranched, swollen, and punctate. Evaluation of mitochondrial morphology and mitophagic flux in primary neurons exposed to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and reoxygenation (OGD/R) revealed extensive mitochondrial fragmentation and swelling, together with a significant upregulation in mitophagic flux. Furthermore, the primary morphology of mitochondria undergoing mitophagy was classified as punctate. Colocalization using immunofluorescence as well as western blot analysis revealed that the PINK1/Parkin pathway of mitophagy was activated following OGD/R. Conditional KO of Drp1 prevented mitochondrial fragmentation and swelling following OGD/R but did not alter mitophagic flux. These data provide novel evidence that Drp1 plays a causal role in the progression of I/R injury, but mitophagy does not require Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission.

Background. The immoderation of mitochondrial fission is one of the main contributors in ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) derived extracellular vesicles have been regarded as a potential therapy method. Here, we hypothesized that extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from human Wharton Jelly mesenchymal stromal cells (hWJMSCs) ameliorate acute renal IRI by inhibiting mitochondrial fission through miR-30b/c/d.Methods. EVs isolated from the condition medium of MCS were injected intravenously in rats immediately after monolateral nephrectomy and renal pedicle occlusion for 45 minutes. Animals were sacrificed at 24 h after reperfusion and samples were collected. MitoTracker Red staining was used to see the morphology of the mitochondria. The expression of DRP1 was measured by western blot. miR-30 in EVs and rat tubular epithelial cells was assessed by qRT-PCR. Apoptosis pathway was identified by immunostaining.Results. We found that the expression of miR-30 in injured kidney tissues was declined and mitochondrial dynamics turned to fission. But they were both restored in EVs group in parallel with reduced cell apoptosis. What is more, when the miR-30 antagomirs were used to reduce the miRNA levels, all the related effects of EVs reduced remarkably.Conclusion. A single administration of hWJMSC-EVs could protect the kidney from IRI by inhibition of mitochondrial fission via miR-30.

Apolipoprotein E Knockout Mice

Introduction: Two opposing highly regulated mitochondrial processes, division (fission) and fusion, determine cell-type specific mitochondrial morphology, intracellular distribution and activity. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in atherogenesis and in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that increased mitochondrial fission plays a role in progressive atherosclerosis and protection in I/R injury. Methods and Results: Male apolipoprotein E knockout mice (ApoE-/-) were fed either a high-fat diet (21% lard & 0.15% cholesterol - HFD) or chow diet for 24 weeks from weaning. Compared to their chow fed littermates, mice fed a HFD demonstrated smaller, shorter and reduced density of left ventricular (LV) interfibrillar mitochondria suggestive of mitochondrial fission by electron microscopy. Furthermore, there was decreased expression of the mitochondrial fusion proteins, optic atrophy 1 and mitofusin 1 and increased fission protein Fis 1. Whilst the proteins Mfn2 and Drp1 were unchanged. On ischemia, LV tissue expression of fission proteins was increased in both groups. In isolated perfused hearts subjected to 30 min ischemia and 120 min reperfusion inhibition of the Drp1-mediated fission with Mdivi-1 (25 μM) at the onset of reperfusion significantly reduced infarct size (n=6/group). Inhibition of the DRP1-mediated fission at serine 637 in langendorff hearts conferred relatively more cardio-protection in the chow fed mice compared to western diet (19.93% ± 2.219%, n=5 versus 29.61% ± 2.517%, n=6; p < 0.05). The reduction in myocardial necrosis was corroborated by a significantly reduced release of creatine kinase and recovery of coronary flow. Conclusion: Inhibiting mitochondrial fission protects hearts against ischemia/reperfusion injury in progressive atherosclerosis.

Abstract BackgroundAmong several leading cardiovascular disorders, ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury causes severe manifestations including acute heart failure, inflammation, and systemic dysfunction. Recently, there has been increasing evidence suggesting that alterations in mitochondrial morphology play a role in the prognoses of cardiac disorders. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) form major regulatory networks to modify gene transcription and translation. While several roles of lncRNAs have been explored in cancer and tumor biology, their implications on mitochondrial morphology and functions remain to be elucidated. MethodsThe functional roles of ZFP36L2 and lncRNA PVT1 were determined by a series of cardiomyocyte hypoxia/ reoxygenation (H/R) in vitro and myocardial I/R injury in vivo experiments. Quantitative Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot analysis were used to detect the mRNA levels of ZFP36L2 and mitochondrial fission and fusion markers in the myocardial tissues and cardiomyocyte. Cardiac function was determined by immunohistochemistry, H&E, Masson’s staining and echocardiogram. Ultrastructural analysis of mitochondrial fission was performed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanistic model of PVT1 with ZFP36L2 and miR-21-5p with MARCH5 was detected by subcellular fraction, RNA pull down, FISH, and luciferase reporter assays.ResultsIn this study, we report a novel regulatory axis involving lncRNA PVT1, microRNA miR-21-5p, and E3 ubiquitin ligase MARCH5, which alters mitochondrial morphology during myocardial I/R injury. Using an in vivo I/R injury mouse model and in vitro cardiomyocyte H/R model, we observed that zinc finger protein ZFP36L2 directly associated with PVT1 and altered mitochondrial fission and fusion. PVT1 also interacted with miR-21-5p and suppressed its expression and activity. Furthermore, we identified MARCH5 as a modifier of miR-21-5p, and expression of MARCH5 and its effect on mitochondrial fission and fusion were directly proportional to PVT1 expression during H/R injury. ConclusionsOur findings demonstrated that manipulation of PVT1-miR-21-5p-MARCH5-mediated mitochondrial fission and fusion via ZFP36L2 may be a novel therapeutic approach to regulate myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract Activation of the cannabinoid CB1 receptor induces neuroprotection against brain ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI); however, the mechanism is still unknown. In this study, we used oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced injury in neuronal cells and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)-induced brain IRI in rats to mimic ischemic brain injury, and hypothesized that the CB1 receptor agonist arachidonyl-2-chloroethylamide (ACEA) would protect ischemic neurons by inhibiting mitochondrial fission via dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1). We found that OGD/R injury reduced cell viability and mitochondrial function, increased lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, and increased cell apoptosis, and mitochondrial fission. Notably, ACEA significantly abolished the OGD/R-induced neuronal injuries described above. Similarly, ACEA significantly reversed MCAO-induced increases in brain infarct volume, neuronal apoptosis and mitochondrial fission, leading to the recovery of neurological functions. The neuroprotective effects of ACEA were obviously blocked by coadministration of the CB1 receptor antagonist AM251 or by the upregulation of Drp1 expression, indicating that ACEA alleviates brain IRI via the CB1–Drp1 pathway. Our findings suggest that the CB1 receptor links aberrant mitochondrial fission to brain IRI, providing a new therapeutic target for brain IRI treatment.

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in liver and other organs is manifested as an injury phase followed by recovery and resolution. Control of cell growth and proliferation is essential for recovery from the injury. We examined the expression of three related regulators of cell cycle progression in liver IRI: spermidine/spermine N-acetyltransferase (SSAT), p21 (a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor), and stathmin. Mice were subjected to hepatic IRI, and liver tissues were harvested at timed intervals. The expression of SSAT, the rate-limiting enzyme in the polyamine catabolic pathway, had increased fivefold 6 h after IRI and correlated with increased putrescine levels in the liver, consistent with increased SSAT enzymatic activity in IRI. The expression of p21, which is transactivated by p53, was undetectable in sham-operated animals but was heavily induced at 12 and 24 h of reperfusion and declined to undetectable baseline levels at 72 h of reperfusion. The interaction of the polyamine pathway with the p53-p21 pathway was shown in vitro, where activation of SSAT with polyamine analog or the addition of putrescine to cultured hepatocytes induced the expression of p53 and p21 and decreased cell viability. The expression of stathmin, which is under negative transcriptional regulation by p21 and controls cell proliferation and progression through mitosis, remained undetectable at 6, 12, and 24 h of reperfusion and was progressively and heavily induced at 48 and 72 h of reperfusion. Double-immunofluorescence labeling with antibodies against stathmin and PCNA, a marker of cell proliferation, demonstrated colocalization of stathmin and PCNA at 48 and 72 h of reperfusion in hepatocytes, indicating the initiation of cell proliferation. The distinct and sequential upregulation of SSAT, p21, and stathmin, along with biochemical activation of the polyamine catabolic pathway in IRI in vivo and the demonstration of p53-p21 upregulation by SSAT and putrescine in vitro, points to the important role of regulators of cell growth and cell cycle progression in the pathophysiology and/or recovery in liver IRI. The data further suggest that SSAT may play a role in the initiation of injury, whereas p21 and stathmin may be involved in the resolution and recovery after liver IRI.

Altered cardiac mitochondrial dynamics with excessive fission is a predominant cause of cardiac dysfunction during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Although pre-ischemic inhibition of mitochondrial fission has been shown to improve cardiac function in I/R injury, the effects of this inhibitor given at different time-points during cardiac I/R injury are unknown. Fifty male Wistar rats were subjected to sham and cardiac I/R injury. For cardiac I/R injury, rats were randomly divided into pre-ischemia, during-ischemia, and upon onset of reperfusion group. A mitochondrial fission inhibitor, Mdivi-1 (mitochondrial division inhibitor 1) (1.2 mg/kg) was used. During I/R protocols, the left ventricular (LV) function, arrhythmia score, and mortality rate were determined. Then, the heart was removed to determine infarct size, mitochondrial function, mitochondrial dynamics, and apoptosis. Our results showed that Mdivi-1 given prior to ischemia, exerted the highest level of cardioprotection quantitated through the attenuated incidence of arrhythmia, reduced infarct size, improved cardiac mitochondrial function and fragmentation, and decreased cardiac apoptosis, leading to preserved LV function during I/R injury. Mdivi-1 administered during ischemia and upon the onset of reperfusion also improved cardiac mitochondrial function and LV function, but at a lower efficacy than when it was given prior to ischemia. Taken together, mitochondrial fission inhibition after myocardial ischemic insults still exerts cardioprotection by attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction and dynamic imbalance, leading to decreased infarct size and ultimately improved LV function after acute cardiac I/R injury in rats. These findings indicate its potential clinical usefulness.

Abstract An uncontrolled balance of mitochondrial dynamics has been shown to contribute to cardiac dysfunction during ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Although inhibition of mitochondrial fission could ameliorate cardiac dysfunction, modulation of mitochondrial fusion by giving a fusion promoter at different time-points during cardiac I/R injury has never been investigated. We hypothesized that giving of a mitochondrial fusion promoter at different time-points exerts cardioprotection with different levels of efficacy in rats with cardiac I/R injury. Forty male Wistar rats were subjected to a 30-min ischemia by coronary occlusion, followed by a 120-min reperfusion. The rats were then randomly divided into control and three treated groups: pre-ischemia, during-ischemia, and onset of reperfusion. A pharmacological mitochondrial fusion promoter-M1 (2 mg/kg) was used for intervention. Reduced mitochondrial fusion protein was observed after cardiac I/R injury. M1 administered prior to ischemia exerted the highest level of cardioprotection by improving both cardiac mitochondrial function and dynamics regulation, attenuating incidence of arrhythmia, reducing infarct size and cardiac apoptosis, which led to the preservation of cardiac function and decreased mortality. M1 given during ischemia and on the onset of reperfusion also exerted cardioprotection, but with a lower efficacy than when given at the pre-ischemia time-point. Attenuating a reduction in mitochondrial fusion proteins during myocardial ischemia and at the onset of reperfusion exerted cardioprotection by attenuating mitochondrial dysfunction and dynamic imbalance, thus reducing infarct size and improving cardiac function. These findings indicate that it could be a promising intervention with the potential to afford cardioprotection in the clinical setting of acute myocardial infarction.
