From Cell Entry to Engraftment of Exogenous Mitochondria.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial transfer has been recognized to play a role in a variety of processes, ranging from fertilization to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases as well as mammalian horizontal gene transfer. It is achieved through either exogeneous or intercellular mitochondrial transfer. From the viewpoint of evolution, exogeneous mitochondrial transfer is quite akin to the initial process of symbiosis between ?-protobacterium and archaea, although the progeny have developed more sophisticated machinery to engulf environmental materials, including nutrients, bacteria, and viruses. A molecular-based knowledge of endocytosis, including macropinocytosis and endosomal escape involving bacteria and viruses, could provide mechanistic insights into exogeneous mitochondrial transfer. We focus on exogeneous mitochondrial transfer in this review to facilitate the clinical development of the use of isolated mitochondria to treat various pathological conditions. Several kinds of novel procedures to enhance exogeneous mitochondrial transfer have been developed and are summarized in this review.

Project description:Rationale: Inflammatory macrophages and osteoclasts (OCs) play critical roles in joint inflammation, which feature the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in synovial inflammation and bone erosion. Scavenging ROS, especially by modulating mitochondrial metabolic activity, could be a desirable strategy for the management of inflammatory joints. This study aimed to develop a mitochondria-targeted supramolecular drug delivery system with exogenous and endogenous ROS-scavenging activities for the treatment of joint inflammation. Methods: In this study, we utilized a zinc-based metal-organic supercontainer (MOSC) as a proton sponge and electron reservoir with outstanding proton binding capacity, extracellular ROS-scavenging ability, and biocompatibility to establish an efficient supramolecular nanocarrier for endo/lysosomal escape and mitochondrial targeting. 4-Octyl itaconate (4-OI), an itaconate derivative, served as the loaded guest for the construction of a synergistic therapeutic system for inflammatory macrophages and OCs. Results: After the effective encapsulation of 4-OI, 4-OI@Zn-NH-pyr not only exhibited potent ROS-scavenging capacity, but also reduced ROS production by mediating mitochondrial respiration in inflammatory macrophages. Regarding its anti-inflammatory efficacy, 4-OI@Zn-NH-pyr ameliorated the inflammatory reaction by activating nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), thus increasing the production of antioxidants, apart from the inhibition of NF-κB pathways. Additionally, receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)-induced osteoclast differentiation and function was remarkably suppressed by 4-OI@Zn-NH-pyr. Consistent with in vitro observations, 4-OI@Zn-NH-pyr efficiently inhibited synovial inflammation and subchondral bone destruction in an acute arthritis model. Conclusion: By using MOSCs that are highly reactive to ROS as drug-loaded matrices for the first time, this study provides an avenue for the management of severe joint inflammation by designing synergistic supramolecular drug-delivery systems with subcellular targeting and ROS-scavenging capacity.
