Nitric oxide-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis generates Ca2+ signaling profile of lupus T cells.

چکیده
Abnormal T cell activation and cell death underlie the pathology of systemic lupus erythematosus. Although mitochondrial hyperpolarization (MHP) represents an early and reversible checkpoint of T cell activation and apoptosis, lupus T cells exhibit persistent MHP. NO has recently been recognized as a key signal of mitochondrial biogenesis and mediator of MHP in human T lymphocytes. In this study, we show that persistent MHP was associated with increased mitochondrial mass (+47.7 +/- 2.8%; p = 0.00017) and increased mitochondrial (+21.8 +/- 4.1%; p = 0.016) and cytoplasmic Ca2+ content in T cells from 19 systemic lupus erythematosus patients with respect to 11 control donors (+38.0 +/- 6.4%; p = 0.0023). Electron microscopy revealed that lupus lymphocytes contained 8.76 +/- 1.0 mitochondria, while control donors contained 3.18 +/- 0.28 mitochondria per cell (p = 0.0009). Increased mitochondrial mass in T cells was associated with 2.08 +/- 0.09-fold enhanced NO production by lupus monocytes (p = 0.0023). Activation of T cells through the TCR initiates a biphasic elevation in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration, a rapid initial peak observed within minutes, and a plateau phase lasting up to 48 h. In response to CD3/CD28 costimulation, rapid Ca2+ fluxing was enhanced while the plateau phase was diminished in lupus T cells. NO-induced mitochondrial biogenesis in normal T cells enhanced the rapid phase and reduced the plateau of Ca2+ influx upon CD3/CD28 costimulation, thus mimicking the Ca2+ signaling profile of lupus T cells. Mitochondria constitute major Ca2+ stores and NO-dependent mitochondrial biogenesis may account for altered Ca2+ handling by lupus T cells.

Control of mitochondrial biogenesis, ROS level, and cytosolic Ca2+ concentration during the cell cycle and the onset of differentiation in L6E9 myoblasts.
Mitochondria can sense signals linked to changes in energy demand to affect nuclear gene expression. This retrograde signaling pathway is presumed to be involved in the regulation of myoblast proliferation and differentiation. We have investigated the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and production of putative retrograde signaling agents [hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and Ca(2+)] during th...

متن کاملResveratrol induces mitochondrial biogenesis in endothelial cells.
Pathways that regulate mitochondrial biogenesis are potential therapeutic targets for the amelioration of endothelial dysfunction and vascular disease. Resveratrol was shown to impact mitochondrial function in skeletal muscle and the liver, but its role in mitochondrial biogenesis in endothelial cells remains poorly defined. The present study determined whether resveratrol induces mitochondrial...

This study examines age-dependent metabolic-inflammatory axis in primary astrocytes isolated from brain cortices of 7-, 13-, and 18-month-old Sprague-Dawley male rats. Astrocytes showed an age-dependent increase in mitochondrial oxidative metabolism respiring on glucose and/or pyruvate substrates; this increase in mitochondrial oxidative metabolism was accompanied by increases in COX3/18SrDNA v...
