Inhibition of Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Prevents Sepsis-Induced Myocardial Dysfunction and Mortality

Abstract: Our study provides strong evidence that mitochondrial permeability transition plays a critical role in septic organ dysfunction. These studies demonstrate that mitochondrial dysfunction in sepsis is causative rather than epiphenomenal and relevant in terms of vital organ function and outcome. Regarding the critical role of heart failure in the pathophysiology of septic shock, our study also indicates a potentially new therapeutic approach for treatment of sepsis syndrome.

“…Mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to decreased cardiac contractility. The beneficial effect of cyclosporin A in our experiments confirms that mPTP opening contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction during sepsis (39). Opening of the mPTP can be triggered by calcium overload (24).…”

“…Letztere Theorie vermutet, dass die sepsisassoziierte myokardiale Dysfunktion eine protektive Adaptation an den reduzierten myokardialen Energiestatus wäh-rend der septischen Kardiomyopathie darstellt, der aus der mitochondrialen Dysfunktion resultiert (vergleichbar zu der Hibernation während der myokardialen Ischämie; [15] Zu den Veränderungen der Mitochondrien während der septischen Kardiomyopathie zählen ultrastrukturelle Schäden, die zur Freisetzung mitochondrialer DNA [97] und zur Zunahme der mitochondrialen "permeability transition pore" führen [58]. Die pharmakologische Inhibition der mitochondrialen "permeability transition pore" mittels Ciclosporinderviaten kann die kardiale Funktion verbessern und die Sterblichkeit im Mausmodell der polymikrobiellen Sepsis reduzieren [58]. [113].…”

“…Interestingly, mitochondrial DNA seems to be more receptive to LPS-induced damage than nuclear DNA (124,134). Finally, the mitochondrial permeability transition pore seems to be involved in sepsis-induced mitochondrial damage in the myocardium, because its inhibition significantly improved cardiac function and reduced mortality in rodents (135).…”

“…Therefore, it is not surprising that anti-apoptotic strategies have reversed cardiac dysfunction (inhibition of caspases [particularly caspase 3] averted endotoxin-induced cardiac dysfunction and heart apoptosis) (137,143). Cyclosporin A, which inhibits mitochondrial permeability transition and cytochrome c release, or overexpression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 both prevented sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (135,144,145). Yet, there seem to be additional parameters involved in the caspase inhibitor-mediated cardioprotection, besides decreasing apoptotic cell death.…”
