Abstract

We have previously demonstrated that ischemic injury in the loss of peroxisomal functions (e.g., inhibition of catalase activity and fatty-acid β-oxidation activity). To understand the molecular mechanism leading to the loss of peroxisomal β-oxidation in ischemic tissue, we examined the levels of individual enzyme activities and proteins of the peroxisomal β-oxidation system and overall fatty-acid oxidation in peroxisomes isolated from kidney exposed to ischemia-reperfusion injury. The peroxisomal β-oxidation decreased with an increase in time of ischemic injury (53% and 43% of the control in kidneys exposed to 60 and 90 min ischemia, respectively). In vivo inactivation of catalase with aminotriazole and exposure of isolated peroxisomes to H2O2 resulted in inhibition of peroxisomal β-oxidation system suggesting that this enzyme system is labile to excessive H2O2 produced during ischemic injury. The enzyme activities of lignoceroyl-CoA ligase, acy-CoA oxidase, bifunctional enzymes and acyl-CoA thiolase (individual peroxisomal β-oxidation enzymes) after 90 min of ischemia were 87, 80, 87 and 85% of the control, respectively. This decrease in enzyme activities was more pronounced following reperfusion (28, 11, 23 and 35% of the control, respectively). Immunoblot analysis of these enzymes indicated that the major loss of these enzyme activities during ischemia was due to their inactivation, whereas during reperfusion, proteolysis also contributed toward the observed loss of these activities. In summary, these results demonstrated that loss of peroxisomal β-oxidation in ischemia-reperfusion injury was due to inactivation and proteolysis of β-oxidation enzymes. Acyl-CoA oxidase was more sensitive to ischemia-reperfusion injury compared to other enzymes, and the overall loss of peroxisomal β-oxidation may be a reflection of the loss of acyl-CoA oxidase activity, a rate-limiting enzyme.

      GSTK1 plays an important role in maintaining mitochondrial function and homeostasis in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (Deng et al., 2020). Studies have reported that acyl-CoA oxidase is sensitive to ischaemia-reperfusion injury (Gulati et al.,1993), peroxisome-mediated oxidative stress mediates protection against renal dysfunction in hypertensive diabetic rats (Dhaunsi et al.,2010), and peroxisomal Acox1 has anti-inflammatory and antiaging properties. Inflammation occurs throughout the whole pathological process of cerebral ischaemia, and the correlation between AR and inflammation has also been fully verified (Singh et al., 2021).

For example, while it is clear that peroxisomes are affected in both their number and activity during cases of ischemia-reperfusion injury (Gulati et al., 1993; Singh and Gulati, 1995) and that activation of peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation helps ameliorate the damage in such cases, (Liepinsh et al., 2013) still very little has been studied regarding peroxisomes and this central disease state (Delille et al., 2006). Various degenerative diseases have also not been well characterized in connection to peroxisomes, including muscular dystrophy, pulmonary emphysema and rheumatoid arthritis (Berger et al., 2016; Masters and Crane, 1995).

      During reperfusion, oxygen tension will increase, which in theory should restore FAO immediately. However, studies have indicated that FAO enzymes remain suppressed during the reperfusion phase16 and lipid droplets accumulate.17 In endotoxin-induced sepsis AKI models, PGC-1α level is decreased and its level correlate with the degree of renal impairment.17,18
