These findings underscore the significant role of testosterone in modulating mitochondrial gene expression in skeletal muscle. Consequently, considering that TFAM and TFBs transcribe the mitochondrial genome, testosterone treatment resulted in an increase of mRNA transcription levels of mtDNA-encoded protein subunits comprising the MRC. In this study, we demonstrated that physiological concentrations of testosterone induce the expression of Nrf-1, a phenomenon that triggers an upregulation not only of Tfam but also of TFB2M in skeletal muscle cells. In order to generate fully functional and high-quality organelles, a precise coordination between the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes is imperative to ensure the production of protein products in the correct stoichiometry.
In the transplantation experiment of tMacs, tMacs were enriched from the indicated mice and then transplanted into hosts at a ratio of one donor to one recipient through intratesticular injection. For adoptive transfer of tMacs or LCs, host mice were anaesthetized with Avertin (250 mg kg−1 body weight) by intraperitoneal injection. The mice were injected with three consecutive doses once every seven days. Intraperitoneal injection of either vehicle or diphtheria toxin (Sigma) was used to deplete tMacs in Cd11bDTR transgenic mice. The Imaris software was used to reconstruct 3D images, determine cellular localization with 3D positional mapping and generate movies derived from time-lapsed imaging. Three-dimensional stacks consisting of multiple planes (0.5-μm step size) were captured every 2 min. The testes were pulled out and attached to a specialized mould, which was kept moist with PBS, and carefully positioned for imaging.
In addition, Castration increases LC3 II/I ratio in the skeletal muscle of male mice, indicating that androgen deficiency increases mitophagy (147, 148). It has been reported that knockout of AR results in the down-regulation of PGC-1α and TFAM in the muscle of castrated rats and mice, while the administration of exogenous androgen reversed these effects (144, 145). As a principal anabolic hormone, testosterone plays a crucial role in increasing protein synthesis and inhibiting muscle proteolysis in skeletal muscle (140, 141). Testosterone is a representative sex steroid hormone, mainly produced by male Leydig cells, female ovarian thecal cells, and partly by the adrenal gland (138). For a detailed description of the regulation of estrogens on mitochondrial function, see (136, 137). Moreover, 17β-estradiol also appears to regulate multiple other aspects of mitochondrial function through ERs, including ROS generation, antioxidant defense, and Ca2+ handling (126–131).
28-day oxidative stress induced by the reduced activity of complex I in GDX rats might not be enough to affect complexes II, III, and IV. Immunocytochemical 59, 62 and in situ hybridization 60, 61 studies identify the subpopulations of intracellular gonadal hormone receptor-bearing neurons in the SN, which suggested that specific subsets of midbrain dopaminergic neurons might be direct targets of gonadal hormones. Another reason might be that testosterone specifically regulates the subunits of complex I either via androgen receptor 59, 60 or via estrogen receptor 61, 62 when testosterone is aromatized to estrogen. Complex I seem more vulnerable than complexes II, III, and IV to oxidative damage caused by testosterone deficiency. The following reasons might explain the reduced activity of complex I in the SN of GDX rats. The reduced activity of complex I was found in the SN of GDX rats. Supplement of TP improves the decreased behavioral parameters of open-field activity in GDX rats .
Use red light therapy, which has been shown to support mitochondrial function and enhance testosterone production by stimulating ATP production in cells. Supplements of testosterone propionate to castrated male rats ameliorated the activity of mitochondrial complex I and upregulated the expression of mitochondrial ND1 and ND4. In conclusion, our study revealed that testosterone supplementation improved exploratory behavior, attenuated neuronal dysfunction and neuronal loss, and ameliorated mitochondrial dysfunction by enhancing both mitochondrial antioxidative capacity and mitochondrial biogenesis of aged male rats. Increased PINK1/Parkin and decreased P62 expression in the SN and HIPP of testosterone-supplemented rats further suggested that enhanced mitophagy likely contributes to the beneficial effect of testosterone supplementation against mitochondrial dysfunction in the aged rat brain. These findings, along with those of the present study, demonstrated that cognitive/behavioral deficits and mitochondrial dysfunction in the aged male brain are, to some extent, related to decreased serum testosterone levels. In turn, orchiectomy was shown to disturb mitochondrial function, evidenced by increased mitochondrial H2O2 production and decreased MMP in the SN of adult male rats . These findings strongly suggest that testosterone supplementation ameliorates age-related brain mitochondria dysfunction in male rats by enhancing both mitochondrial antioxidative capacity and mitochondrial biogenesis.
Mitochondria are responsible for generating cellular energy, altering the reduction-oxidation potential of cells, and regulating cell viability 53, 54. Mitochondrial dysfunction induces free radical overproduction and increases lipid peroxidation 38, 51, 52. The increased H2O2 and decreased GSH/GSSG in SN mitochondria further revealed the existed oxidative stress in GDX rats. TP supplements to GDX rats at 1.0 mg/kg reversed them to the levels in sham rats.
