Mitochondrial fission inhibition protects against hypertension induced by angiotensin II. Hypertens Res 2024; 47:1338-1349.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in various types of cardiovascular disease including hypertension. Mitochondrial fission fusion balance is critical to mitochondrial quality control, whereas enhanced fission has been reported in several models of cardiovascular disease. However, limited information is available regarding the contribution of mitochondrial fission in hypertension. Here, we have tested the hypothesis that inhibition of mitochondrial fission attenuates the development of hypertension and associated vascular remodeling. In C57BL6 mice infused with angiotensin II for 2 weeks, co-treatment of mitochondrial fission inhibitor, mdivi1, significantly inhibited angiotensin II-induced development of hypertension assessed by radiotelemetry. Histological assessment of hearts and aortas showed that mdivi1 inhibited vessel fibrosis and hypertrophy induced by angiotensin II. This was associated with attenuation of angiotensin II-induced decline in mitochondrial aspect ratio seen in both the endothelial and medial layers of aortas. Mdivi1 also mitigated angiotensin II-induced cardiac hypertrophy assessed by heart weight-to-body weight ratio as well as by echocardiography. In ex vivo experiments, mdivi1 inhibited vasoconstriction and abolished the enhanced vascular reactivity by angiotensin II in small mesenteric arteries. Proteomic analysis on endothelial cell culture media with angiotensin II and/or mdivi1 treatment revealed that mdivi1 inhibited endothelial cell hypersecretory phenotype induced by angiotensin II. In addition, mdivi1 attenuated angiotensin II-induced protein induction of periostin, a myofibroblast marker in cultured vascular fibroblasts. In conclusion, these data suggest that mdivi1 prevented angiotensin II-induced hypertension and cardiovascular remodeling via multicellular mechanisms in the vasculature.

Abstract
AKI is characterized by a sudden, and usually reversible, decline in kidney function. In mice, ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is commonly used to model the pathophysiologic features of clinical AKI. Macrophages are a unifying feature of IRI as they regulate both the initial injury response as well as the long-term outcome following resolution of injury. Initially, macrophages in the kidney take on a proinflammatory phenotype characterized by the production of inflammatory cytokines, such as CCL2 (monocyte chemoattractant protein 1), IL-6, IL-1 β , and TNF- α . Release of these proinflammatory cytokines leads to tissue damage. After resolution of the initial injury, macrophages take on a reparative role, aiding in tissue repair and restoration of kidney function. By contrast, failure to resolve the initial injury results in prolonged inflammatory macrophage accumulation and increased kidney damage, fibrosis, and the eventual development of CKD. Despite the extensive amount of literature that has ascribed these functions to M1/M2 macrophages, a recent paradigm shift in the macrophage field now defines macrophages on the basis of their ontological origin, namely monocyte-derived and tissue-resident macrophages. In this review, we focus on macrophage phenotype and function during IRI-induced injury, repair, and transition to CKD using both the classic (M1/M2) and novel (ontological origin) definition of kidney macrophages.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a renal disease with a high incidence and mortality. Currently, there are no targeted therapeutics for preventing and treating AKI. Macrophages, important players in mammalian immune response, are involved in the multiple pathological processes of AKI. They are dynamically activated and exhibit a diverse spectrum of functional phenotypes in the kidney after AKI. Targeting the mechanisms of macrophage activation significantly improves the outcomes of AKI in preclinical studies. In this review, we summarize the role of macrophages and the underlying mechanisms of macrophage activation during kidney injury, repair, regeneration, and fibrosis and provide strategies for macrophage-targeted therapies.

CyPA interacts with SERPINH1 to promote extracellular matrix production and inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition of trophoblast via enhancing TGF-β/Smad3 pathway in preeclampsia. Mol Cell Endocrinol 2022; 548:111614. [PMID: 35304192 DOI: 10.1016/j.mce.2022.111614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Revised: 02/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
We previously reported that cyclophilin A (CyPA) production is upregulated in preeclampsia (PE). Moreover, CyPA is known to induce PE-like features in pregnant mice and impair trophoblast invasiveness. In this study, we further illustrated the role of CyPA in PE. RNA-seq analysis, RT-qPCR, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining, and western blotting of mouse placentae revealed that CyPA increased the levels of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, such as collagen I and fibronectin, and activated the TGF-β/Smad3 signaling pathway. Additionally, CyPA inhibited the expression of genes involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) (e.g., E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin) in mouse placentae. We then constructed stable overexpressing and knock-down CyPA cell models (using HTR8/SVneo cells) to clarify the molecular mechanism. We found that CyPA regulated the levels of ECM-related proteins and the EMT process through the TGF-β/Smad3 pathway. We also identified SERPINH1 as a putative CyPA-binding protein, using liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS. SERPINH1 was found to be upregulated in the placentae of PE. Silencing SERPINH1 expression reversed the upregulation of ECM proteins and inhibition of the EMT process induced by the overexpression of CyPA. These findings revealed the functions of CyPA in the impaired invasiveness of trophoblasts in PE and indicated that CyPA and SERPINH1 may represent promising targets for the treatment of PE.

Abstract
The association between kidney stone disease and renal fibrosis has been widely explored in recent years but its underlying mechanisms remain far from complete understanding. Using label-free quantitative proteomics (nanoLC-ESI-LTQ-Orbitrap MS/MS), this study identified 23 significantly altered secreted proteins from calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM)-exposed macrophages (COM-MP) compared with control macrophages (Ctrl-MP) secretome. Functional annotation and protein-protein interactions network analysis revealed that these altered secreted proteins were involved mainly in inflammatory response and fibroblast activation. BHK-21 renal fibroblasts treated with COM-MP secretome had more spindle-shaped morphology with greater spindle index. Immunofluorescence study and gelatin zymography revealed increased levels of fibroblast activation markers (α-smooth muscle actin and F-actin) and fibrotic factors (fibronectin and matrix metalloproteinase-9 and -2) in the COM-MP secretome-treated fibroblasts. Our findings indicate that proteins secreted from macrophages exposed to COM crystals induce renal fibroblast activation and may play important roles in renal fibrogenesis in kidney stone disease.
