Abstract
Cell senescence, glycolysis, and mitochondrial deficit jointly regulate the development of septic acute kidney injury (SAKI). This study aimed to explore the role of circular RNA HIPK3 (circHIPK3) in mitochondrial function in SAKI. The SAKI mouse model was established by Candida albicans infection, followed by Western blot assay, measurements of serum lactate, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), 5,5',6,6'-tetrachloro-1,1',3,3'-tetraethylbenzimi-dazolylcarbocyanine iodide (JC-1) staining and flow cytometry. Human renal tubular epithelial cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide to establish the SAKI cell model, followed by cell counting kit-8 assay, tests of hexokinase activity, lactate production, oxygen consumption rate, extracellular acidification rate, ATP, and JC-1 staining, and Western blot assay. The roles of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1) were validated by kidney function tests, hematoxylin and eosin staining, periodic acid-Schiff staining, and SA-β-gal staining. circHIPK3 downregulation reduced glycolysis and mitochondrial dysfunction both in vivo and in vitro through the microRNA (miR)-148b-3p/DNMT1/3a/Klotho axis. Inhibition of miR-148b-3p or Klotho increased glycolysis and mitochondrial dysfunction. Knockdown of MPC1 increased lactate content and decreased ATP levels and MMP both in vivo and in vitro. Collectively, circHIPK3, in concert with the miR-148b-3p/DNMT1/3a/Klotho axis, increased glycolysis, and inhibited the negative regulation of lactate production by MPC1, and aggravated mitochondrial dysfunction and cell senescence in SAKI.

Int J Nephrol Renovasc Dis 2024; 17:29-38. [PMID: 38264625 PMCID: PMC10804966 DOI: 10.2147/ijnrd.s443519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Mounting evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to lupus nephritis (LN) pathogenesis. Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 1 (MPC1) and mitochondrial pyruvate carrier 2 (MPC2) mediating pyruvate transport from the cytoplasm to the mitochondrial matrix, determines the cell survival and cellular energy supply. Here, we aimed to investigate the association of mitochondrial pyruvate carrier expression with the clinical and histological features in LN. Methods Patients with biopsy-proven proliferative LN (class III and class IV, n=18) and membranous LN (class V, n=18) were included. Expression of MPC1 and MPC2 were examined by immunohistochemistry. MPC protein levels in the two groups were evaluated by the Student's t-test. Correlation analysis between MPC levels and clinicopathological features was performed by Spearman's rank correlation. Results Both MPC1 and MPC2 were exclusively expressed in renal tubules of enrolled LN. Significantly lower MPC1 and MPC2 were observed in patients with proliferative LN compared to membranous LN. In addition, the MPC1 and MPC2 were negatively correlated with SLEDAI-2K score, renal function, and renal pathology activity index. Conclusion Both MPC1 and MPC2 were localized in renal tubules, and decreased MPC content was more pronounced in proliferative LN than membranous LN. MPC levels were significantly correlated with renal functions and renal pathology activity.

MPC2 variants disrupt mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism and cause an early-onset mitochondriopathy. Brain 2022; 146:858-864.

Abstract
Pyruvate is an essential metabolite produced by glycolysis in the cytosol and must be transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane into the mitochondrial matrix, where it is oxidized to fuel mitochondrial respiration. Pyruvate import is performed by the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), a hetero-oligomeric complex composed by interdependent subunits MPC1 and MPC2. Pathogenic variants in the MPC1 gene disrupt mitochondrial pyruvate uptake and oxidation and cause autosomal-recessive early-onset neurological dysfunction in humans. The present work describes the first pathogenic variants in MPC2 associated with human disease in four patients from two unrelated families. In the first family, patients presented with antenatal developmental abnormalities and harboured a homozygous c.148T>C (p.Trp50Arg) variant. In the second family, patients that presented with infantile encephalopathy carried a missense c.2T>G (p.Met1?) variant disrupting the initiation codon. Patient-derived skin fibroblasts exhibit decreased pyruvate-driven oxygen consumption rates with normal activities of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex and mitochondrial respiratory chain and no defects in mitochondrial content or morphology. Re-expression of wild-type MPC2 restored pyruvate-dependent respiration rates in patient-derived fibroblasts. The discovery of pathogenic variants in MPC2 therefore broadens the clinical and genetic landscape associated with inborn errors in pyruvate metabolism.

Abstract
The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) is the entry point for the glycolytic end-product pyruvate to the mitochondria. MPC activity, which is controlled by its abundance and post-translational regulation, determines whether pyruvate is oxidised in the mitochondria or metabolised in the cytosol. MPC serves as a crucial metabolic branch point that determines the fate of pyruvate in the cell, enabling metabolic adaptations during health, such as exercise, or as a result of disease. Decreased MPC expression in several cancers limits the mitochondrial oxidation of pyruvate and contributes to lactate accumulation in the cytosol, highlighting its role as a contributing, causal mediator of the Warburg effect. Pyruvate is handled similarly in the failing heart where a large proportion of it is reduced to lactate in the cytosol instead of being fully oxidised in the mitochondria. Several recent studies have found that the MPC abundance was also reduced in failing human and mouse hearts that were characterised by maladaptive hypertrophic growth, emulating the anabolic scenario observed in some cancer cells. In this review we discuss the evidence implicating the MPC as an important, perhaps causal, mediator of heart failure progression.

Abstract
As a nodal mediator of pyruvate metabolism, the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) plays a pivotal role in many physiological and pathological processes across the human lifespan, from embryonic development to aging-associated neurodegeneration. Emerging research highlights the importance of the MPC in diverse conditions, such as immune cell activation, cancer cell stemness, and dopamine production in Parkinson’s disease models. Whether MPC function ameliorates or contributes to disease is highly specific to tissue and cell type. Cell- and tissue-specific differences in MPC content and activity suggest that MPC function is tightly regulated as a mechanism of metabolic, cellular, and organismal control. Accordingly, recent studies on cancer and diabetes have identified protein–protein interactions, post-translational processes, and transcriptional factors that modulate MPC function. This growing body of literature demonstrates that the MPC and other mitochondrial carriers comprise a versatile and dynamic network undergirding the metabolism of health and disease.
