Abstract:
:Altered mitochondrial metabolism acts as an initial cause for cardiovascular diseases and metabolic intermediate succinate emerges as a mediator of mitochondrial dysfunction. This work aims to investigate whether or not extracellular succinate accumulation and its targeted G protein-coupled receptor-91 (GPR91) activation induce cardiac injury through mitochondrial impairment. The results showed that extracellular succinate promoted the translocation of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) to mitochondria via protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ) activation, and induced mitochondrial fission factor (MFF) phosphorylation via extracellular signal-regulated kinases-1/2 (ERK1/2) activation in a GPR91-dependent manner. As a result, enhanced localization of MFF and Drp1 in mitochondria promoted mitochondrial fission, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. We further showed that inhibition of succinate release and GPR91 signaling ameliorated oxygen-glucose deprivation-induced injury in cardiomyocytes and isoproterenol-induced myocardial ischemia injury in mice. Taken together, these results showed that in response to cardiac ischemia, succinate release activated GPR91 and induced mitochondrial fission via regulation of PKCδ and ERK1/2 signaling branches. These findings suggest that inhibition of extracellular succinate-mediated GPR91 activation might be a potential therapeutic strategy for protecting cardiomyocytes from ischemic injury.
