Deficiency of Skeletal Muscle Succinate Dehydrogenase and Aconitase
Deficiency of skeletal muscle succinate dehydrogenase and aconitase. Pathophysiology of exercise in a novel human muscle oxidative defect. R G Haller, … , K Ayyad, C G Blomqvist J Clin Invest. 1991;88(4):1197-1206. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI115422. Research Article We evaluated a 22-yr-old Swedish man with lifelong exercise intolerance marked by premature exertional muscle fatigue, dyspnea, and cardiac palpitations with superimposed episodes lasting days to weeks of increased muscle fatigability and weakness associated with painful muscle swelling and pigmenturia. Cycle exercise testing revealed low maximal oxygen uptake (12 ml/min per kg; healthy sedentary men = 39 +/- 5) with exaggerated increases in venous lactate and pyruvate in relation to oxygen uptake (VO2) but low lactate/pyruvate ratios in maximal exercise. The severe oxidative limitation was characterized by impaired muscle oxygen extraction indicated by subnormal systemic arteriovenous oxygen difference (a- v O2 diff) in maximal exercise (patient = 4.0 ml/dl, normal men = 16.7 +/- 2.1) despite normal oxygen carrying capacity and Hgb-O2 P50. In contrast maximal oxygen delivery (cardiac output, Q) was high compared to sedentary healthy men (Qmax, patient = 303 ml/min per kg, normal men 238 +/- 36) and the slope of increase in Q relative to VO2 (i.e., delta Q/delta VO2) from rest to exercise was exaggerated (delta Q/delta VO2, patient = 29, normal men = 4.7 +/- 0.6) indicating uncoupling of the normal approximately 1:1 relationship between oxygen delivery and utilization in dynamic exercise. Studies of isolated skeletal muscle mitochondria in our patient revealed markedly impaired succinate oxidation with normal glutamate oxidation implying a metabolic defect at […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/115422/pdf Deficiency of Skeletal Muscle Succinate Dehydrogenase and Aconitase Pathophysiology of Exercise in a Novel Human Muscle Oxidative Defect Ronald G. -
Heme Oxygenase-1 Regulates Mitochondrial Quality Control in the Heart
RESEARCH ARTICLE Heme oxygenase-1 regulates mitochondrial quality control in the heart Travis D. Hull,1,2 Ravindra Boddu,1,3 Lingling Guo,2,3 Cornelia C. Tisher,1,3 Amie M.

The cardioprotective inducible enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) degrades prooxidant heme into equimolar quantities of carbon monoxide, biliverdin, and iron. We hypothesized that HO-1 mediates cardiac protection, at least in part, by regulating mitochondrial quality control. We treated WT and HO-1 transgenic mice with the known mitochondrial toxin, doxorubicin (DOX). Relative to WT mice, mice globally overexpressing human HO-1 were protected from DOX-induced dilated cardiomyopathy, cardiac cytoarchitectural derangement, and infiltration of CD11b+ mononuclear phagocytes. Cardiac-specific overexpression of HO-1 ameliorated DOX-mediated dilation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum as well as mitochondrial disorganization in the form of mitochondrial fragmentation and increased numbers of damaged mitochondria in autophagic vacuoles. HO-1 overexpression promotes mitochondrial biogenesis by upregulating protein expression of NRF1, PGC1α, and TFAM, which was inhibited in WT animals treated with DOX. Concomitantly, HO-1 overexpression inhibited the upregulation of the mitochondrial fission mediator Fis1 and resulted in increased expression of the fusion mediators, Mfn1 and Mfn2. -

Although many correlations have been described, specific mechanistic links between these changes and glucose homeostasis remain to be defined. Here we show that blood and intestinal levels of the microbiota-produced N-formyl peptide, formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLF), are elevated in high fat diet (HFD)- induced obese mice. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the N-formyl peptide receptor Fpr1 leads to increased insulin levels and improved glucose tolerance, dependent upon glucagon- like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Obese Fpr1-knockout (Fpr1-KO) mice also display an altered microbiome, exemplifying the dynamic relationship between host metabolism and microbiota. -

First-Positive Surveillance Screening in an Asymptomatic SDHA Germline Mutation Carrier
ID: 19-0005 -19-0005 G White and others SDHA surveillance screen ID: 19-0005; May 2019 detected PGL DOI: 10.1530/EDM-19-0005 First-positive surveillance screening in an asymptomatic SDHA germline mutation carrier Correspondence should be addressed Gemma White, Nicola Tufton and Scott A Akker to S A Akker Email Department of Endocrinology, St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, Barts Health NHS Trust, London, UK [email protected] Summary At least 40% of phaeochromocytomas and paraganglioma’s (PPGLs) are associated with an underlying genetic mutation. The understanding of the genetic landscape of these tumours has rapidly evolved, with 18 associated genes now identified.Amongthese,mutationsinthesubunitsofsuccinatedehydrogenasecomplex(SDH) are the most common, causing around half of familial PPGL cases. Occurrence of PPGLs in carriers of SDHB, SDHC and SDHD subunit mutations has been long reported, but it is only recently that variants in the SDHA subunit have been linked to PPGL formation. Previously documented cases have, to our knowledge, only been found in isolated cases where pathogenic SDHA variants wereidentifiedretrospectively.Wereportthecaseofanasymptomaticsuspectedcarotidbodytumourfoundduring surveillance screening in a 72-year-old female who is a known carrier of a germline SDHA pathogenic variant.

Learning points: •• SDH mutations are important causes of PPGL disease. •• SDHA is much rarer compared to SDHB and SDHD mutations. •• Pathogenicity and penetrance are yet to be fully determined in cases of SDHA-related PPGL. •• Surveillance screening should be used for SDHA PPGL cases to identify recurrence, metastasis or metachronous disease. •• Surveillance screening for SDH-relateddiseaseshouldbeperformedinidentifiedcarriersofapathogenicSDHA variant.
