Regulation of reverse electron transfer at mitochondrial complex I by unconventional Notch action in cancer stem cells.

ABSTRACT: Metabolic flexibility is a hallmark of many cancers where mitochondrial respiration is critically involved, but the molecular underpinning of mitochondrial control of cancer metabolic reprogramming is poorly understood. Here, we show that reverse electron transfer (RET) through respiratory chain complex I (RC-I) is particularly active in brain cancer stem cells (CSCs). Although RET generates ROS, NAD⁺/NADH ratio turns out to be key in mediating RET effect on CSC proliferation, in part through the NAD⁺-dependent Sirtuin. Mechanistically, Notch acts in an unconventional manner to regulate RET by interacting with specific RC-I proteins containing electron-transporting Fe-S clusters and NAD(H)-binding sites. Genetic and pharmacological interference of Notch-mediated RET inhibited CSC growth in Drosophila brain tumor and mouse glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) models. Our results identify Notch as a regulator of RET and RET-induced NAD⁺/NADH balance, a critical mechanism of metabolic reprogramming and a metabolic vulnerability of cancer that may be exploited for therapeutic purposes.

Project description:PANoptosis is a new type of cell death featured with pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis, and is implicated in organ injury and mortality in various inflammatory diseases, such as sepsis and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Reverse electron transport (RET)-mediated mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) has been shown to contribute to pyroptosis and necroptosis. In this study we investigated the roles of mtROS and RET in PANoptosis induced by TGF-β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) inhibitor 5Z-7-oxozeaenol (Oxo) plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as well as the effects of anti-RET reagents on PANoptosis. We showed that pretreatment with anti-RET reagents 1-methoxy PMS (MPMS) or dimethyl fumarate (DMF) dose-dependently inhibited PANoptosis in macrophages BMDMs and J774A.1 cells induced by Oxo/LPS treatment assayed by propidium iodide (PI) staining. The three arms of the PANoptosis signaling pathway, namely pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis signaling, as well as the formation of PANoptosomes were all inhibited by MPMS or DMF. We demonstrated that Oxo/LPS treatment induced RET and mtROS in BMDMs, which were reversed by MPMS or DMF pretreatment. Interestingly, the PANoptosome was co-located with mitochondria, in which the mitochondrial DNA was oxidized. MPMS and DMF fully blocked the mtROS production and the formation of PANoptosome induced by Oxo plus LPS treatment. An HLH mouse model was established by poly(I:C)/LPS challenge. Pretreatment with DMF (50 mg·kg-1·d-1, i.g. for 3 days) or MPMS (10 mg·kg-1·d-1, i.p. for 2 days) (DMF i.g. MPMS i.p.) effectively alleviated HLH lesions accompanied by decreased hallmarks of PANoptosis in the liver and kidney. Collectively, RET and mtDNA play crucial roles in PANoptosis induction and anti-RET reagents represent a novel class of PANoptosis inhibitors by blocking oxidation of mtDNA, highlighting their potential application in treating PANoptosis-related inflammatory diseases. PANoptotic stimulation induces reverse electron transport (RET) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondia, while 1-methoxy PMS and dimethyl fumarate can inhibit PANoptosis by suppressing RETmediated oxidation of mitochondrial DNA.

Project description:The management of cardiac ischemic injury has been challenged by ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from mitochondrial reverse electron transport (RET) during the early phase of reperfusion is considered to be the initiating cause for ischemia and reperfusion injury. Ginsenosides and their prescriptions are widely used in the clinic for treatment of myocardial ischemia, however, the action to combat ROS remains to be elucidated. In this work, we used TMT-based proteomic approach to detect differential proteins from mitochondrial fractions of mice hearts with ischemia-reperfusion. Results indicated that the mass error of identified peptides was within 10 ppm, and most of the identified peptides were composed of 7-23 amino acids. Using these qualified data, 17,262 peptides, with a confidence level ≥ 95%, were mapped to 3,054 protein groups. PCA analysis showed that the model group was clearly separated from the blank group, while the protein pattern was partly reversed with Rb1 treatment. With a criteria of p-value < 0.05, 591 significantly changed proteins including 186 increased and 405 decreased ones in the model group were identified compared with the blank group. These proteins were divided into 4 clusters. Proteins in Cluster I highly increased in the model group, but clearly decreased in the Rb1 group. Proteins in Cluster IV clearly decreased in the model group, but markedly increased in the Rb1 group. Proteins in Cluster III and in Cluster IV were not significantly or slightly regulated by the Rb1 treatment. GO analysis of Cluster I and II indicated that the molecular function of these proteins were closely related to oxidoreductase activity and NADH dehydrogenase activity. Our result showed that Rb1 administration before ischemia markedly decreased infarct size (48 h post-I/R), and preserved cardiac function (2 weeks post-I/R), and subsequently limited tissue fibrosis (28 days post-I/R). These results indicated that targeted inhibition of mitochondrial complex I in the early stage of reperfusion by Rb1 is a potential therapeutic strategy for alleviating IR injury. This work not only indicates a potent molecular target for the precision therapy of myocardial ischemia by Rb1, but also provides novel knowledge for the management of cardiac ischemic injury by traditional Chinese medicine.
