Cyclophilin D-dependent mitochondrial permeability transition amplifies inflammatory reprogramming in endotoxemia.

ABSTRACT: Microorganisms or LPS (lipopolysaccharide), an outer membrane component of Gram-negative bacteria, can induce a systemic inflammatory response that leads to sepsis, multiple organ dysfunction, and mortality. Here, we investigated the role of cyclophilin D (CypD)-dependent mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) in the immunosuppressive phase of LPS-induced endotoxic shock. The liver plays an important role in immunity and organ dysfunction; therefore, we used liver RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data, Ingenuity^® Pathway Analysis (IPA ^® ) to investigate the complex role of mPT formation in inflammatory reprogramming and disease progression. LPS induced significant changes in the expression of 2844 genes, affecting 179 pathways related to mitochondrial dysfunction, defective oxidative phosphorylation, nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2 (Nrf2), Toll-like receptors (TLRs), and tumor necrosis factor ? receptor (TNFR)-mediated processes in wild-type mice. The disruption of CypD reduced LPS-induced alterations in gene expression and pathways involving TNFRs and TLRs, in addition to improving survival and attenuating oxidative liver damage and the related NO- and ROS-producing pathways. CypD deficiency diminished the suppressive effect of LPS on mitochondrial function, nuclear- and mitochondrial-encoded genes, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) quantity, which could be critical in improving survival. Our data propose that CypD-dependent mPT is an amplifier in inflammatory reprogramming and promotes disease progression. The mortality in human sepsis and shock is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Prevention of mPT by CypD disruption reduces inflammatory reprogramming, mitochondrial dysfunction, and lethality; therefore, CypD can be a novel drug target in endotoxic shock and related inflammatory diseases.

Project description:AimsThe chemotherapy drug doxorubicin (Dox) is commonly used for treating a variety of human cancers; however, it is highly cardiotoxic and induces heart failure. We previously reported that the Bcl-2 mitochondrial death protein Bcl-2/19kDa interaction protein 3 (Bnip3), is critical for provoking mitochondrial perturbations and necrotic cell death in response to Dox; however, the underlying mechanisms had not been elucidated. Herein, we investigated mechanism that drives Bnip3 gene activation and downstream effectors of Bnip3-mediated mitochondrial perturbations and cell death in cardiac myocytes treated with Dox.Methods and resultsNuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signalling, which transcriptionally silences Bnip3 activation under basal states in cardiac myocytes was dramatically reduced following Dox treatment. This was accompanied by Bnip3 gene activation, mitochondrial injury including calcium influx, permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, loss of nuclear high mobility group protein 1, reactive oxygen species production, and cell death. Interestingly, impaired NF-κB signalling in cells treated with Dox was accompanied by protein complexes between Bnip3 and cyclophilin D (CypD). Notably, Bnip3-mediated mPTP opening was suppressed by inhibition of CypD-demonstrating that CypD functionally operates downstream of Bnip3. Moreover, restoring IKKβ-NF-κB activity in cardiac myocytes treated with Dox suppressed Bnip3 expression, mitochondrial perturbations, and necrotic cell death.ConclusionsThe findings of the present study reveal a novel signalling pathway that functionally couples NF-κB and Dox cardiomyopathy to a mechanism that is mutually dependent upon and obligatorily linked to the transcriptional control of Bnip3. Our findings further demonstrate that mitochondrial injury and necrotic cell death induced by Bnip3 is contingent upon CypD. Hence, maintaining NF-κB signalling may prove beneficial in reducing mitochondrial dysfunction and heart failure in cancer patients undergoing Dox chemotherapy.
