Regulation of mitochondrial fission by GIPC-mediated Drp1 retrograde transport.

ABSTRACT: Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is a key regulator of mitochondrial fission, a large cytoplasmic GTPase recruited to the mitochondrial surface via transmembrane adaptors to initiate scission. While Brownian motion likely accounts for the local interactions between Drp1 and the mitochondrial adaptors, how this essential enzyme is targeted from more distal regions like the cell periphery remains unknown. Based on proteomic interactome screening and cell-based studies, we report that GAIP/RGS19-interacting protein (GIPC) mediates the actin-based retrograde transport of Drp1 toward the perinuclear mitochondria to enhance fission. Drp1 interacts with GIPC through its atypical C-terminal PDZ-binding motif. Loss of this interaction abrogates Drp1 retrograde transport resulting in cytoplasmic mislocalization and reduced fission despite retaining normal intrinsic GTPase activity. Functionally, we demonstrate that GIPC potentiates the Drp1-driven proliferative and migratory capacity in cancer cells. Together, these findings establish a direct molecular link between altered GIPC expression and Drp1 function in cancer progression and metabolic disorders.

Project description:The highly widespread and infiltrative nature of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) makes complete surgical resection hard, causing high recurrence rate and poor patients' prognosis. However, the mechanism underlying GBM migration and invasion is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of a Ras-related protein Rab32 on GBM and uncovered its underlying molecular and subcellular mechanisms that contributed to GBM aggressiveness. The correlation of Rab32 expression with patient prognosis and tumor grade was investigated by public dataset analysis and clinical specimen validation. The effect of Rab32 on migration and invasion of GBM had been evaluated using wound healing assay, cell invasion assay, as well as protein analysis upon Rab32 manipulations. Mitochondrial dynamics of cells upon Rab32 alterations were detected by immunofluorescence staining and western blotting. Both the subcutaneous and intracranial xenograft tumor model were utilized to evaluate the effect of Rab32 on GBM in vivo. The expression level of Rab32 is significantly elevated in the GBM, especially in the most malignant mesenchymal subtype, and is positively correlated with tumor pathological grade and poor prognosis. Knockdown of Rab32 attenuated the capability of GBM's migration and invasion. It also suppressed the expression levels of invasion-related proteins (MMP2 and MMP9) as well as mesenchymal transition markers (N-cadherin, vimentin). Interestingly, Rab32 transported Drp1 to mitochondrial from the cytoplasm and modulated mitochondrial fission in an ERK1/2 signaling-dependent manner. Furthermore, silencing of Rab32 in vivo suppressed tumor malignancy via ERK/Drp1 axis. Rab32 regulates ERK1/2/Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fission and causes mesenchymal transition, promoting migration and invasion of GBM. It serves as a novel therapeutic target for GBM, especially for the most malignant mesenchymal subtype. Schematic of Rab32 promotes GBM aggressiveness via regulation of ERK/Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission. Rab32 transports Drp1 from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria and recruits ERK1/2 to activate the ser616 site of Drp1, which in turn mediates mitochondrial fission and promotes mesenchymal transition, migration and invasion of GBM.
