Dynamin-related protein 1 deficiency accelerates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute liver injury and inflammation in mice

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial fusion and fission, which are strongly related to normal mitochondrial function, are referred to as mitochondrial dynamics. Mitochondrial fusion defects in the liver cause a non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-like phenotype and liver cancer. However, whether mitochondrial fission defect directly impair liver function and stimulate liver disease progression, too, is unclear. Dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) is a key factor controlling mitochondrial fission. We hypothesized that DRP1 defects are a causal factor directly involved in liver disease development and stimulate liver disease progression. Drp1 defects directly promoted endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, hepatocyte death, and subsequently induced infiltration of inflammatory macrophages. Drp1 deletion increased the expression of numerous genes involved in the immune response and DNA damage in Drp1LiKO mouse primary hepatocytes. We administered lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to liver-specific Drp1-knockout (Drp1LiKO) mice and observed an increased inflammatory cytokine expression in the liver and serum caused by exaggerated ER stress and enhanced inflammasome activation. This study indicates that Drp1 defect-induced mitochondrial dynamics dysfunction directly regulates the fate and function of hepatocytes and enhances LPS-induced acute liver injury in vivo.

Project description:Purpose:to verify Drp1-mediated biological pathways under physiological and ischemia conditions.Methods:C57BL/6 mice and Drp1 knockdown mice were used for ischemia treatment. Right femoral arteries were catheterized with polyethylene catheters for bleeding 50% of total blood volume (≈7% of weight). The ischemia time started to calculate after the model was established. A laparotomy was then carried out to obtain superior mesenteric artery tissues (SMAs) for transcriptome analysis. Series-Cluster analysis was performed to identify the global trends of mitochondrial DEGs after Drp1 knockdown. Gene ontology (GO) analysis was performed to facilitate elucidating the biological process (BP), molecular function (MF) and cellular component (CC) of unique genes in the significant or representative profiles. Results:In addition to its traditional roles in GTPase regulation and mitochondrial fission, Drp1 may also regulate actin cytoskeleton and the movement of microtubules. Besides, Drp1 may participate in the regulation of morphology and functions of other organelles, including endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisome, phagolysosome, etc. As for general organ functions, Drp1 may regulate vascular constriction and dilation. These consequences indicated the important role of Drp1 in ischemia-induced cellular regulation. Conclusions: Drp1 deficiency proves the important role of Drp1 in ischemia-induced biomedical processes through multiple potential fission-independent manners.
