Mitochondria alterations are a classical feature of muscle immobilization, and autophagy is required for the elimination of deficient mitochondria (mitophagy) and the maintenance of muscle mass. We focused on the regulation of mitochondrial quality control during immobilization and remobilization in rat gastrocnemius (GA) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles, which have very different atrophy and recovery kinetics. We studied mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamic, movement along microtubules, and addressing to autophagy. Our data indicated that mitochondria quality control adapted differently to immobilization and remobilization in GA and TA muscles. Data showed i) a disruption of mitochondria dynamic that occurred earlier in the immobilized TA, ii) an overriding role of mitophagy that involved Parkin-dependent and/or independent processes during immobilization in the GA and during remobilization in the TA, and iii) increased mitochondria biogenesis during remobilization in both muscles. This strongly emphasized the need to consider several muscle groups to study the mechanisms involved in muscle atrophy and their ability to recover, in order to provide broad and/or specific clues for the development of strategies to maintain muscle mass and improve the health and quality of life of patients.

Pathological Conditions

The mitochondrion is an essential organelle that supplies ATP in cardiomyocytes (CMs). However, damaged mitochondria are harmful via the production of reactive oxygen species and induction of apoptosis in pathological conditions. Therefore, quality of mitochondria should be controlled tightly through various mitochondrial quality control mechanisms. Mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) is considered an integral part of this mechanism, and recent investigations uncovered the role of PINK1 and Parkin in mitophagy. However, these observations were made under artificial conditions, such as over-expression of Parkin or treatment with CCCP, and thus the precise mechanism has not been fully elucidated in more pathophysiologically relevant conditions. Recent evidence suggests that mitophagy can take place independently of ATG7, a molecule essential for the conventional form of autophagy, and that this form of autophagy is ULK1-dependent. We investigated the role of ULK1 and ATG7 in mediating mitophagy using mitochondria-targeted Keima (Mito-Keima) in cultured rat neonatal CMs. Keima has a bimodal excitation spectrum peaking at 440 and 560 nm, corresponding to the neutral and acidic pH, respectively. In CMs transfected with Mito-Keima, the fluorescent dots with a high 560nm/440nm ratio represent the mitochondria incorporated into autolysosomes which indicate mitophagy. Here we report that ULK1 plays a more predominant role in glucose deprivation (GD) -induced mitophagy than ATG7. Control CMs exhibited 8.7±1.0 % of the area of high-ratio dots per cells after GD. Knockdown of ULK1 significantly reduced the area to 2.3±0.9 % in CMs after GD (p<0.01, vs sh-Control). The reduction was significantly greater in CMs with knockdown of ULK1 than that of ATG7 (7.0±1.6 %, p<0.05, sh-ULK1 vs sh-ATG7). In addition, knockdown of Beclin1 and Drp1 also significantly decreased the area of high-ratio dots (about 1.0 % and 0.5 %, respectively). Overexpression of ULK1 was sufficient to induce mitophagy without starvation, whereas that of ATG7 was not. These results suggest that ULK1, Beclin1 and Drp1 play an essential role in mediating GD-induced mitophagy in CMs.

And Function

Maintaining mitochondrial health is essential for the survival and function of eukaryotic organisms. Misfunctioning mitochondria activate stress-responsive pathways to restore mitochondrial network homeostasis, remove damaged or toxic proteins, and eliminate damaged organelles via selective autophagy of mitochondria, a process termed mitophagy. Failure of these quality control pathways is implicated in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Impairment of mitochondrial quality control has been demonstrated to activate innate immune pathways, including inflammasome-mediated signaling and the antiviral cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING)–regulated interferon response. Immune system malfunction is a common hallmark in many neurodegenerative diseases; however, whether inflammation suppresses or exacerbates disease pathology is still unclear. The goal of this review is to provide a historical overview of the field, describe mechanisms of mitochondrial quality control, and highlight recent advances on the emerging role of mitochondria in innate immunity and inflammation.

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is the third common cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), which is associated with poor short- and long-term outcomes. Currently, effective therapy strategy for CI-AKI remains lacking. Stanniocalcin-1 (STC1) is a conserved glycoprotein with antiapoptosis and anti-inflammatory functions, but the role of STC1 in controlling CI-AKI is unknown. Here, we demonstrated a protective role of STC1 in contrast-induced injury in cultured renal tubular epithelial cells and CI-AKI rat models. Recombinant human STC1 (rhSTC1) regulated mitochondrial quality control, thus suppressing contrast-induced mitochondrial damage, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptotic injury. Mechanistically, activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway contributes critically to the renoprotective effect of STC1. Together, this study demonstrates a novel role of STC1 in preventing CI-AKI and reveals Nrf2 as a molecular target of STC1. Therefore, this study provides a promising preventive target for the treatment of CI-AKI.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the world. The mechanism behind CVDs has been studied for decades; however, the pathogenesis is still controversial. Mitochondrial homeostasis plays an essential role in maintaining the normal function of the cardiovascular system. The alterations of any protein function in mitochondria may induce abnormal mitochondrial quality control and unexpected mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to CVDs. Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) affect protein function by reversibly changing their conformation. This review summarizes how common and novel PTMs influence the development of CVDs by regulating mitochondrial quality control. It provides not only ideas for future research on the mechanism of some types of CVDs but also ideas for CVD treatments with therapeutic potential.
