Metabolic reprogramming in chondrocytes to promote mitochondrial respiration reduces downstream features of osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT: Metabolic dysfunction in chondrocytes drives the pro-catabolic phenotype associated with osteoarthritic cartilage. In this study, substitution of galactose for glucose in culture media was used to promote a renewed dependence on mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation. Galactose replacement alone blocked enhanced usage of the glycolysis pathway by IL1β-activated chondrocytes as detected by real-time changes in the rates of proton acidification of the medium and changes in oxygen consumption. The change in mitochondrial activity due to galactose was visualized as a rescue of mitochondrial membrane potential but not an alteration in the number of mitochondria. Galactose-replacement reversed other markers of dysfunctional mitochondrial metabolism, including blocking the production of reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide, and the synthesis of inducible nitric oxide synthase. Of more clinical relevance, galactose-substitution blocked downstream functional features associated with osteoarthritis, including enhanced levels of MMP13 mRNA, MMP13 protein, and the degradative loss of proteoglycan from intact cartilage explants. Blocking baseline and IL1β-enhanced MMP13 by galactose-replacement in human osteoarthritic chondrocyte cultures inversely paralleled increases in markers associated with mitochondrial recovery, phospho-AMPK, and PGC1α. Comparisons were made between galactose replacement and the glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose. Targeting intermediary metabolism may provide a novel approach to osteoarthritis care.

Metabolic reprogramming: Targeting inhibition of osteoarthritis-induced pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase expression preserves mitochondrial respiration

Project description:Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) maintain the structural and dynamic integrity of joints. Additionally, FLS have been identified as key drivers of joint destruction in osteoarthritis (OA). Pathogenic THY1+ FLS are classified as invasively proliferative cells. However, little is known about the metabolic changes of FLS in the pathogenesis of OA. Here, we demonstrate functional, proteomic, and metabolic characteristics of inflammation-exposed FLS compared with unexposed fibroblast-like mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from patients with OA. Analysis of FLS and MSC proteomes revealed 592 differentially expressed proteins. Although both cell types were indistinguishable according to classical markers, pathway analysis revealed that pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) 3 is highly expressed only in proliferative FLS. Inhibition of PDKs by dichloroacetate significantly shifted glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation while reducing proliferation without causing cell death. Therefore, reprogramming FLS metabolism from glycolysis to mitochondrial respiration by inhibiting PDK isoforms might be a new approach to treat transformed FLS in OA

Nobiletin fortifies mitochondrial respiration in skeletal muscle to promote healthy aging against metabolic challenge.

Project description:Circadian disruption aggravates age-related decline and mortality. However, it remains unclear whether circadian enhancement can retard aging in mammals. We previously reported that the small molecule Nobiletin (NOB) activates ROR (retinoid acid receptor-related orphan receptor) nuclear receptors to potentiate circadian oscillation and protect against metabolic dysfunctions. Here we show that NOB significantly improves metabolic fitness in naturally aged mice fed with a regular diet (RD). Furthermore, NOB enhances healthy aging in mice fed with a high-fat diet (HF). In HF skeletal muscle, the NOB-ROR axis broadly activates genes for mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes (MRCs) and fortifies MRC activity and architecture, including Complex II activation and supercomplex formation. These mechanisms coordinately lead to a dichotomous mitochondrial optimization, namely increased ATP production and reduced ROS levels. Together, our study illustrates a focal mechanism by a clock-targeting pharmacological agent to optimize skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration and promote healthy aging in metabolically stressed mammals.

Apple procyanidins promote mitochondrial biogenesis and proteoglycan biosynthesis in chondrocytes.

Project description:Apples are well known to have various benefits for the human body. Procyanidins are a class of polyphenols found in apples that have demonstrated effects on the circulatory system and skeletal organs. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a locomotive syndrome that is histologically characterized by cartilage degeneration associated with the impairment of proteoglycan homeostasis in chondrocytes. However, no useful therapy for cartilage degeneration has been developed to date. In the present study, we detected beneficial effects of apple polyphenols or their procyanidins on cartilage homeostasis. An in vitro assay revealed that apple polyphenols increased the activities of mitochondrial dehydrogenases associated with an increased copy number of mitochondrial DNA as well as the gene expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-? (PGC-1?), suggesting the promotion of PGC-1?-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis. Apple procyanidins also enhanced proteoglycan biosynthesis with aggrecan upregulation in primary chondrocytes. Of note, oral treatment with apple procyanidins prevented articular cartilage degradation in OA model mice induced by mitochondrial dysfunction in chondrocytes. Our findings suggest that apple procyanidins are promising food components that inhibit OA progression by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and proteoglycan homeostasis in chondrocytes.

Moderation of mitochondrial respiration mitigates metabolic syndrome of aging.

Project description:Deregulation of mitochondrial dynamics leads to the accumulation of oxidative stress and unhealthy mitochondria; consequently, this accumulation contributes to premature aging and alterations in mitochondria linked to metabolic complications. We postulate that restrained mitochondrial ATP synthesis might alleviate age-associated disorders and extend healthspan in mammals. Herein, we prepared a previously discovered mitochondrial complex IV moderate inhibitor in drinking water and orally administered to standard-diet-fed, wild-type C57BL/6J mice every day for up to 16 mo. No manifestation of any apparent toxicity or deleterious effect on studied mouse models was observed. The impacts of an added inhibitor on a variety of mitochondrial functions were analyzed, such as respiratory activity, mitochondrial bioenergetics, and biogenesis, and a few age-associated comorbidities, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, glucose abnormalities, and obesity in mice. It was found that mitochondrial quality, dynamics, and oxidative metabolism were greatly improved, resulting in lean mice with a specific reduction in visceral fat plus superb energy and glucose homeostasis during their aging period compared to the control group. These results strongly suggest that a mild interference in ATP synthesis through moderation of mitochondrial activity could effectively up-regulate mitogenesis, reduce ROS production, and preserve mitochondrial integrity, thereby impeding the onset of metabolic syndrome. We conclude that this inhibitory intervention in mitochondrial respiration rectified the age-related physiological breakdown in mice by protecting mitochondrial function and markedly mitigated certain undesired primary outcomes of metabolic syndrome, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. This intervention warrants further research on the treatment of metabolic syndrome of aging in humans.

Navitoclax (ABT263) reduces inflammation and promotes chondrogenic phenotype by clearing senescent osteoarthritic chondrocytes in osteoarthritis.

Project description:Cell senescence is a chronic process associated with age-related degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). Senescent cells (SnCs) accumulate in the articular cartilage and synovium, leading to OA pathologies. The accumulation of SnCs in the cartilage results in a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and age-related inflammation and dysfunction. Selective removal of SnCs by senolytic agent as a therapeutic strategy has been developed recently. In this study, we examined the ability of the senolytic drug ABT263 (navitoclax) to clear SnCs and further evaluated the therapeutic effect of ABT263 on post-traumatic OA. Monolayer and 3D pellet cultured osteoarthritic chondrocytes were used to evaluate the effect of ABT263 in vitro and a DMM rat model was established for in vivo experiments. We found that ABT263 reduced the expression of inflammatory cytokines and promoted cartilage matrix aggregation in OA chondrocyte pellet culture by inducing SnC apoptosis. Moreover, OA pathological changes in the cartilage and subchondral bone in post-traumatic OA rat were alleviated by ABT263 intra-articular injection. These results demonstrated that ABT263 not only improves inflammatory microenvironment but also promotes cartilage phenotype maintenance in vitro. Furthermore, ABT263 might play a protective role against post-traumatic OA development. Therefore, strategies targeting SnC elimination might be promising for the clinical therapy of OA.

Mitofusins deficiency elicits mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming to pluripotency.

Project description:Cell reprogramming technology has allowed the in vitro control of cell fate transition, thus allowing for the generation of highly desired cell types to recapitulate in vivo developmental processes and architectures. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying the reprogramming process remain to be defined. Here, we show that depleting p53 and p21, which are barriers to reprogramming, yields a high reprogramming efficiency. Deletion of these factors results in a distinct mitochondrial background with low expression of oxidative phosphorylation subunits and mitochondrial fusion proteins, including mitofusin 1 and 2 (Mfn1/2). Importantly, Mfn1/2 depletion reciprocally inhibits the p53-p21 pathway and promotes both the conversion of somatic cells to a pluripotent state and the maintenance of pluripotency. Mfn1/2 depletion facilitates the glycolytic metabolic transition through the activation of the Ras-Raf and hypoxia-inducible factor 1? (HIF1?) signaling at an early stage of reprogramming. HIF1? is required for increased glycolysis and reprogramming by Mfn1/2 depletion. Taken together, these results demonstrate that Mfn1/2 constitutes a new barrier to reprogramming, and that Mfn1/2 ablation facilitates the induction of pluripotency through the restructuring of mitochondrial dynamics and bioenergetics.

AHR Regulates Metabolic Reprogramming to Promote SIRT1-Dependent Keratinocyte Differentiation.

Project description:Activation of the transcription factor, AHR, in normal human epidermal keratinocytes increased AHR binding in the gene regions of the glucose transporter, SLC2A1, and the glycolytic enzyme, ENO1. This increased chromatin binding corresponded with AHR-dependent decreases in levels of SLC2A1 and ENO1 mRNA, protein, and activities. Studies of the ENO1 promoter showed activation of the AHR decreases the transcription of ENO1. Glycolysis was lowered by activation of the AHR as measured by decreases in glucose uptake and the production of pyruvate and lactate. Levels of ATP were also decreased. Downregulation of glucose metabolism, either by activation of the AHR, inhibition of glycolysis, inhibition of glucose transport, or inhibition of enolase, increased SIRT1 protein levels in normal human epidermal keratinocytes and the immortalized keratinocyte cell line, N/TERT-1. This increase in SIRT1 was abrogated by the addition of exogenous pyruvate. Moreover, keratinocyte differentiation in response to downregulation of glycolysis, either by activation of the AHR, inhibition of glucose transport, or inhibition of enolase, was dependent on SIRT1. These results indicate that regulation of glycolysis controls keratinocyte differentiation, and that activation of the AHR, by lowering the expression of SLC2A1 and ENO1, can determine this fate.

TNFAIP8 drives metabolic reprogramming to promote prostate cancer cell proliferation.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) is a member of TIPE/TNFAIP8 family, has been involved in the development and progression of various human cancers. We hypothesized that TNFAIP8 promotes prostate cancer (PCa) progression via regulation of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis. Ectopic expression of TNFAIP8 increased PCa cell proliferation/migration/spheroid formation by enhancing cell metabolic activities. Mechanistically, TNFAIP8 activated the PI3K-AKT pathway and up-regulated PCa cell survival. TNFAIP8 was also found to regulate the expression of glucose metabolizing enzymes, enhancing glucose consumption, and endogenous ATP production. Treatment with a glycolysis inhibitor, 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG), reduced TNFAIP8 mediated glucose consumption, ATP production, spheroid formation, and PCa cell migration. By maintaining mitochondrial membrane potential, TNFAIP8 increased OXPHOS and glycolysis. Moreover, TNFAIP8 modulates the production of glycolytic metabolites in PCa cells. Collectively, our data suggest that TNFAIP8 exerts its oncogenic effects by enhancing glucose metabolism and by facilitating metabolic reprogramming in PCa cells. Therefore, TNFAIP8 may be a biomarker associated with prostate cancer and indicate a potential therapeutic target.

CDC5L drives FAH expression to promote metabolic reprogramming in melanoma.

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming allows tumor cells to thrive in the typically hypoxic tumor microenvironment. Using immunodetection and clinical data analyses, we demonstrate here that fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) is highly expressed in melanoma and correlates with poor survival. FAH knockdown inhibits proliferation and migration, while promoting apoptosis in melanoma cells, result in prolonged survival in tumor-bearing mice. Molecular analyses using real time RT-PCR, western blot, and 13C tracing showed that these changes are driven by strong stimulation of anaplerotic reactions through the TCA cycle and the pentose-phosphate pathway, resulting in increased fatty acid and nucleotide synthesis. Using bioinformatic, ChIP-PCR, and gene silencing analyses, we determined that cell division cycle 5-like protein (CDC5L) is an important transcription factor regulating FAH expression in melanoma cells. These findings reveal that FAH induces metabolic reprogramming in melanoma and so emerges as both a potentially useful independent prognostic indicator and an attractive therapeutic target.

Mitochondrial CaMKII causes adverse metabolic reprogramming and dilated cardiomyopathy.

Project description:Despite the clear association between myocardial injury, heart failure and depressed myocardial energetics, little is known about upstream signals responsible for remodeling myocardial metabolism after pathological stress. Here, we report increased mitochondrial calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) activation and left ventricular dilation in mice one week after myocardial infarction (MI) surgery. By contrast, mice with genetic mitochondrial CaMKII inhibition are protected from left ventricular dilation and dysfunction after MI. Mice with myocardial and mitochondrial CaMKII overexpression (mtCaMKII) have severe dilated cardiomyopathy and decreased ATP that causes elevated cytoplasmic resting (diastolic) Ca2+ concentration and reduced mechanical performance. We map a metabolic pathway that rescues disease phenotypes in mtCaMKII mice, providing insights into physiological and pathological metabolic consequences of CaMKII signaling in mitochondria. Our findings suggest myocardial dilation, a disease phenotype lacking specific therapies, can be prevented by targeted replacement of mitochondrial creatine kinase or mitochondrial-targeted CaMKII inhibition.
