Project description:Under stress conditions, cells elicit integrated stress response (ISR) to cope with intracellular and extracellular disturbances. However, its role in ischemic heart disease remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that oxygen deprivation in cardiomyocytes triggers significant changes in protein translation. Importantly, ischemia and ischemia/reoxygenation leads to suppression of protein synthesis, which is caused by activation of the PERK/eIF2α axis of ISR. At the functional level, cardiac specific elimination of PERK exacerbates cardiac response to ischemia/reperfusion whereas selective activation of PERK in the heart confers cardioprotection against reperfusion injury. Mechanistically, PERK-mediated improvement in cardiomyocyte survival depends on suppression of protein synthesis and consequently relieves energetic demand on mitochondria. We went further to show that mitochondrial complex components are targeted by protein translation suppression, which significantly diminishes mitochondria-associated production of reactive oxygen species. Indeed, pharmacological activation of ISR protects the heart from ischemia/reperfusion damage, even after the release of occluded coronary artery, highlighting clinical significance for myocardial infarction. Taken together, these findings suggest that ISR improves cell survival through selectively suppressing mitochondrial protein synthesis and reducing oxidative stress in ischemic heart disease.

Project description:We aimed to investigate whether reduction of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) in adult astrocytes altered the transcriptional profile in vivo. To do so, we used a genetic approach expressing a version of the catalase enzyme within the mitochondria of astrocytes. Astrocytes were acutely isolated from the brains of adult GFAP-mCAT and control mice by the immunomagnetic approach and subjected to a whole-genome transcriptomics array analysis. We used microarrays to detail the whole genome changes modulated by mROS levels in astrocytes.

Project description:Slowing down mRNA translation in either the cytoplasm or the mitochondria are both conserved longevity mechanisms. Here, we found a non-interventional natural correlation of mitochondrial and cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins when looking at mouse population genetics, suggesting a mito-cytoplasmic translational balance. Additionally, inhibiting mitochondrial translation in C. elegans in turn reduced cytoplasmic translation and repressed growth pathways while upregulating stress responses at both proteome and transcriptome levels. This coordinated repression of cytoplasmic translation is dependent on the atf-5/Atf4 transcription factor and is conserved in mammalian cells upon inhibiting mitochondrial translation pharmacologically with the antibiotic doxycycline. Lastly, extending this to a mammalian setting using doxycycline-treated germ-free mice, we found repressed cytoplasmic translation and ribosomal proteins in liver. These data demonstrate that inhibiting mitochondrial translation initiates a signaling cascade leading to coordinated repression of cytoplasmic translation, unlike previously described unidirectional cyto-to-mito translational communication in yeast, which can be targeted to promote healthy aging.

Project description:In a subacute study, male Wistar rats were treated daily by gavage with 800 mg/kg metformin for 1, 3, or 14 consecutive days, followed by necropsy 24h after the last application. The biguanide phenformin was used as antidiabetic drug due to its antihyperglycaemic effect, but was withdrawn from the market in the 1970s for safety reasons. In recent years, biguanides received great interest in oncology research after an epidemiological study showed a link between the treatment with metformin, another biguanide with a better safety profile, and a reduced cancer risk in diabetic patients. Since mitochondrial metabolism has become a target for possible cancer therapeutic approaches, especially for tumors relying on oxidative metabolism, mitochondrial complex I inhibition is under discussion to be responsible for the anti-cancer effect of metformin. The known strong complex I inhibitor Rotenone has also shown anti-cancer activity, however is associated with toxic effects. Therefore, we compared metformin and phenformin, with rotenone, to elucidate potential mechanisms rendering biguanides apparently less toxic than rotenone. In this context, various blood and tissue parameters as well as histopathology were measured and/or evaluated. Moreover, gene expression profiling was conducted in liver and heart due to the high metabolic activity and high energy demand. All investigations were based on an experimental design previously described for mechanistic investigations of the effects of rotenone. Our examinations regarding gene expression showed that 1630 transcripts were deregulated by rotenone, metformin and/or phenformin in liver, whereas 777 transcripts were deregulated in heart, indicating that the heart is less affected by these compounds. Overall, the mechanistic profile of phenformin appears to be similar to that of rotenone, yet at a quantitatively reduced level, whereas metformin displayed only transient similarities after one day of treatment. These differences are likely due to differential molecular properties of these compounds, especially concerning their effects on mitochondria: Metformin, in contrast to rotenone, requires a certain mitochondrial potential to allow accumulation in this organelle, thereby self-limiting its entry and thus ability to inhibit mitochondrial function, whereas rotenone and to some extent also phenformin can enter mitochondria freely. Thus, our more detailed molecular characterization of these compounds suggests that inhibition of mitochondrial functions can serve as target for an anti-cancer mode of action, yet should be self-limited or balanced to some extent to avoid exhaustion of all energy stores.

Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in myriad diseases. However, there is no single platform that facilitates mapping of mitochondrial pathways and processes essential for health and those that are defective in disease. Here, we manually curated 1008 mitochondrial proteins to create a database of 31 mitochondrial pathways and processes and named the database as ‘MitoGyan’. ‘Gyan’ in Sanskrit means knowledge. We also developed a mitochondria associated metabolic pathways visualization tool called MitoCyc within HumanCyc. Using these novel resources and an integrated ‘Omics’ approach, we demonstrate that mitochondrial dysfunction occurs early in a rare, inflammatory hair disease called Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA). Transmission electron microscopy and mass spectrometry show morphological and functional changes in the mitochondria of FFA hair follicles. Our data suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction induces oxidative stress and an impairment of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) in FFA. We propose that mitochondria-targeted antioxidants provide a new therapeutic strategy for FFA. Microarray analyses of FFA was undertaken to decipher pathophysiological pathways of FFA leading to disease intitiation and progression
