Bongkrekic acid alleviates airway inflammation via breaking the mPTP/mtDAMPs/RAGE feedback loop in a steroid-insensitive asthma model

Mitochondrial dysfunction is critical in the pathogenesis of asthma. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) regulates the release of mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs) to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis. Bongkrekic acid (BKA) is a highly selective inhibitor of...

Zusammenfassung:Mitochondrial dysfunction is critical in the pathogenesis of asthma. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) regulates the release of mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (mtDAMPs) to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis. Bongkrekic acid (BKA) is a highly selective inhibitor of mPTP opening, participates the progression of various diseases. This research investigated the exact roles of BKA and mPTP in the pathogenesis of asthma and elucidated its underlying mechanisms. In the present study, cytochrome c, one of the mtDAMPs, levels were elevated in asthmatic patients, and associated to airway inflammation and airway obstruction. BKA, the inhibitor of mPTP markedly reversed TDI-induced airway hyperresponsiveness, airway inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Pretreatment with mitochondrial precipitation, to simulate the release of mtDAMPs, further increased TDI-induced airway inflammation and the expression of RAGE in mice. Administration of the inhibitor of RAGE, FPS-ZM1, alleviated the airway inflammation, the abnormal open of mPTP and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by mtDAMPs and TDI. Furthermore, stimulation with different mtDAMPs activated RAGE signaling in human bronchial epithelial cells. Accordingly, our study indicated that mPTP was important and BKA was efficient in alleviating inflammation in TDI-induced asthma. A positive feedback loop involving mPTP, mtDAMPs and RAGE was present in TDI-induced asthma, indicating that mPTP might serve as a potential therapeutic target for asthma. [Display omitted] •Increased cytc in sputum correlates with airway inflammation and airway obstruction in asthmatic patients.•Elevated mPTP opening promotes airway inflammatory and mediates RAGE signaling activation via releasing mtDAMPs.•Activated RAGE signaling, in turn, promotes mPTP opening, consisting a positive feedback loop in TDI asthmatic model.
