Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been reported that ROCK1 participates in the progression of multiple diseases, including septic intestinal barrier, cardiac dysfunction and acute lung injury. However, its regulatory role and specific mechanism in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) remain unclear. METHODS Cecal ligation puncture (CLP) was conducted to establish sepsis mouse model, and in vitro model was achieved by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Genes expression was evaluated by qRT-PCR, western blot or ELISA was conducted to assess the levels of proteins. Hoechst staining was performed to evaluate cell pyroptosis. LDH activity assay was detected to assess cytotoxicity. Immunohistochemistry was conducted to detect Ly-6G expression and neutrophils distribution in kidney tissues of mice. H&E and TUNEL staining were carried to evaluate kidney injury of mice. RESULTS Our findings illuminated that ROCK1 was highly expressed in sepsis-induced AKI, and ROCK1 knockdown inhibited NLRP3-mediated cell pyroptosis in LPS-induced HK-2 cells. Moreover, ROCK1 modulated HK-2 cell pyroptosis by regulating endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). TLR2 inhibitor could suppress ERS mediated cell pyroptosis under LPS treatment. Further, TLR2 activator partially reversed the effects of ROCK1 inhibition on ERS mediated pyroptosis in LPS-treated HK-2 cells and CLP mice. CONCLUSION In conclusion, ROCK1 may regulate sepsis-induced AKI via TLR2-mediated ERS/pyroptosis axis. Our data demonstrated the role and underlying mechanism of ROCK1 in septic AKI, providing theoretical basis for sepsis-induced AKI treatment.

The diversity and coexistence of extracellular mitochondria in circulation: A friend or foe of the immune system. Mitochondrion 2021; 58:270-284. [PMID: 33662580 DOI: 10.1016/j.mito.2021.02.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2020] [Revised: 02/10/2021] [Accepted: 02/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
The diversity and coexistence of extracellular mitochondria may have a key role in the maintenance of health and progression of disease. Studies report that active mitochondria can be found physiologically outside of cells and circulating in the blood without inducing an inflammatory response. In addition, inactive or harmed mitochondria have been recognized as activators of immune cells, as they play an essential role in diseases characterized by the metabolic deregulation of these cells, such as sepsis. In this review we analyze key aspects regarding the existence of a diversity of extracellular mitochondria, their coexistence in body fluids and their effects on various immune cells. Additionally, we introduce models of how extracellular mitochondria could be interacting to maintain health and affect disease prognosis. Unwrapped mitochondria (freeMitos) can exist as viable, active, inactive or harmed organelles. Mitochondria can also be found wrapped in a membrane (wrappedMitos) that may differ depending on the cell of origin. Mitochondrial fragments can also be present in various body fluids as DAMPs, as mtDNA enclosed in vesicles or as circulating-cell-free mtDNA (ccf-mtDNA). Interestingly, the great quantity of evidence regarding the levels of ccf-mtDNA and their correlation with aging and disease allows for the identification of the diversity, but not type, of extracellular mitochondria. The existence of a diversity of mitochondria and their effects on immune cells opens a new concept in the biomedical field towards the understanding of health, the progression of disease and the development of mitochondria as therapeutic agents.
