Project description:Grey mouse lemurs (Microcebus murinus) are a primate species, which exhibits strong physiological seasonality in response to environmental energetic constraint. They notably accumulate large amounts of lipid reserves during early winter, which are thereafter mobilized during late winter, when food availability is very low. In addition, they develop glucose intolerance in late winter only. To decipher how the hepatic mechanisms may support such metabolic flexibility, we analyzed the liver proteome of captive lemurs, which seasonal regulations of metabolism and reproduction are comparable to their wild counterparts, during the phases of either constitution or use of fat reserves.

Project description:The Warburg effect, consisting of increased glucose uptake and glycolysis, provides metabolic energy as well as cellular building blocks for tumor growth. Inhibition of the Warburg effect with 2-deoxyglucose (2DG) has been explored in clinical trials with limited efficacy. Blockage of glycolysis can induce autopahgy resulting in alternative energy generation through oxidative phosphorylation providing a potential bypass of the effects of inhibition of glycolysis. Here in we demonstrate that activation of AMPK, as a consequence of energetic stress, induces mitochondrial energy production potentially bypassing the effects of glycolysis inhibition. We thus combined blockage of glycolysis by 2DG with inhibition of the electron transfer complex I (ETC1) in the mitochondria with the clinically applicable antidiabetic drug metformin. The combination resulted in activation of AMPK and autopahgy that however rendered eventual depletion of ATP and cell death. Furthermore, combined inhibition of glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration inhibited tumor growth and markedly decreased metastatic capacity in vivo. In order to understand the mechanism of these metabolic inhibitors, we performed whole genome transcriptional analysis. Human SK-4 esophageal cancer cell lines were treated with 5 different treatment groups [2 deoxy glucose (4mM), Metformin (5mM), AICAR (2mM), 2 deoxy glucose (4mM) plus Metformin (5mM) and 2 deoxy glucose (4mM) plus AICAR (2mM)] with non treated control groups for 12 hrs. Each groups was quadruplicated. Microarray experiments and data analysis were done at Dept. of Systems Biology, MDACC (Houston, USA)

Project description:Energy production in myocardial cells occurs mainly in the mitochondrion. Although alterations in mitochondrial functions in the senescent heart have been documented, the molecular bases for the aging-associated decline in energy metabolism in the human heart are not fully understood. The purpose of our study was to identify aging-related transcriptional changes in genes coding for mitochondrial proteins involved in substrate metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation system (OXPHOS), and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and to correlate these with the functional changes in the OXPHOS in human atrial appendage tissue from adult and aged patients free of atrial pathologies.

Project description:Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) affects 7-10% of pregnancies and is associated with cardiovascular remodeling and dysfunction which persists into adulthood. The underlying subcellular remodeling and cardiovascular programming events are still poorly documented. Cardiac muscle is central in the fetal adaptive mechanism to IUGR given its high energetic demands. The energetic homeostasis depends on the correct interaction of several molecular pathways and the adequate arrangement of intracellular energetic units (ICEUs), where mitochondria interact with the contractile machinery and the main cardiac ATPases to enable a quick and efficient energy transfer. We studied subcellular cardiac adaptations to IUGR in an experimental rabbit model. We evaluated the ultrastructure of ICEUs with transmission electron microscopy and observed an altered spatial arrangement in IUGR, with significant increases in cytosolic space between mitochondria and myofilaments. A global decrease of mitochondrial density was also observed. In addition, we conducted a global gene expression profile by advanced bioinformatics tools to assess the expression of genes involved in the cardiomyocyte energetic metabolism, and identified four gene modules with a coordinated over-representation in IUGR: oxygen homeostasis (GO: 0032364), mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I (GO:0005747), oxidative phosphorylation (GO: 0006119) and NADH dehydrogenase activity (GO:0003954). These findings might contribute to changes in energetic homeostasis in IUGR. The potential persistence and role of these changes in long term cardiovascular programming deserves further investigation. In this study, we used gene expression arrays to investigate differences between two experimental groups: IUGR and control. The design includes paired samples.

Project description:Cells respond to mitochondrial energetic stress with rapid activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which acutely inhibits anabolism and stimulates catabolism. AMPK also induces sustained transcriptional reprogramming of metabolism. The TFEB transcription factor is a major effector of AMPK signals, inducing lysosome genes following energetic stress. Yet the molecular mechanism underlying how AMPK activates TFEB remains unresolved. We demonstrate here that AMPK directly phosphorylates five conserved serine residues in FNIP1, which suppresses the function of the FLCN/FNIP1 RagC GAP complex, in turn controlling TFEB lysosomal localization. We demonstrate that FNIP1 phosphorylation is required for AMPK to induce nuclear translocation of TFEB, which is fully separable from AMPK control of canonical mTORC1 signaling. Using a non-phosphorylatable allele of FNIP1, we show that in parallel to lysosomal biogenesis, AMPK induces mitochondrial biogenesis via TFEB-dependent induction of PGC1a mRNA. This signaling from mitochondrial stress is also independent of amino-acid control of the Rags and TFEB, which still proceed normally in cells bearing the AMPK-non phosphorylatable allele of FNIP1. Taken together, mitochondrial energetic stress triggers AMPK/FNIP1-dependent TFEB nuclear translocation, inducing transcriptional waves of lysosomal and mitochondrial biogenesis.

Project description:Aging is the progressive decline in organismal function that leads to an increased risk of multiple diseases and mortality. The molecular basis of this decline is unknown. Using quantitative PCR for mitochondrial mRNA from multiple tissues from the same animals, we found that the rate of change in mouse mitochondrial expression is tissue-specific, with cardiac expression declining early (8-10 months), adipose expression declining late (25-30 months), and no change in kidney or skin. In cardiac tissue, mitochondria-derived mRNA levels declined more slowly than nuclear encoded mRNAs, suggesting a potential dysregulation. These changes were independent of alteration in mitochondrial number, as measured by quantitative PCR of mitochondrial DNA and citrate synthase activity. We found no change in the variability between mitochondrial mRNA levels with age, suggesting that the changes are not due to random dysregulation at the level of gene expression. Caloric restriction (CR), a lifespan-extending intervention proposed to act through mitochondrial biogenesis, delayed the decline in both cardiac and adipose mitochondrial mRNA levels of F344 rats. CR caused an increase in citrate synthase activity but did not alter mitochondrial DNA content, indicating increased translation or reduced turnover of mitochondrial proteins. These results demonstrate that mitochondrial gene expression changes with age are not coupled to mitochondrial number, are likely to be regulated, and are governed by tissue-specific processes. These findings indicate that aging is neither a programmed organism-wide change orchestrated in a top-down fashion nor a product of random dysregulation of gene expression but that tissue-specific factors may independently control aging in different organ compartments. Keywords: aging Cardiac ventricle total RNA from 10 young (4-6 month) and 10 young (25-28 month) mice were compared.

Project description:Fibrosis of the kidney is the final common pathway leading to end stage renal failure. By analyzing kidneys of patients and animal models with fibrosis we observed a significant mitochondrial defect, including the loss of the mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) in kidney tubule cells. Here, we generated mice with tubule-specific deletion of TFAM (Ksp-Cre/Tfam flox/flox). While these mice developed severe mitochondrial loss and energetic deficit (ATP level decline) by 6 weeks of age, kidney fibrosis, immune cell infiltration and progressive azotemia causing death was only observed around 12 weeks of age. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that in the TFAM KO mice aberrant packaging of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) resulted in escape of the mtDNA into the cytosol of the renal cells, activation of the cytosolic cGAS-STING (Stimulator of interferon genes) DNA sensing pathway, and thus cytokine expression and immune cell recruitment. Genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of STING ameliorated kidney fibrosis in mouse models of chronic kidney disease, demonstrating that in addition to its essential role in metabolism TFAM sequesters mtDNA to prevent the activation of innate immune pathways and fibrosis.

Project description:Aneuploidies of human chromosome 21 (Down syndrome (DS) and monosomy 21 (M21)) lead to variable physiological abnormalities with constant mental retardation, locomotor deficits and altered muscle tone. To search for dosage-sensitive genes involved in DS and M21 phenotypes, we created two new mouse models carrying either tandem duplication (Ts2Yah) or a deletion (Ms3Yah) of the Stch-App interval homologous and syntenic with 21q11.2-q21.3 in humans. Here we report the complex mirror phenotypes of the trisomy and monosomy involving locomotion, muscle strength, mass and energetic balance that vary while ageing. Expression profiling of skeletal muscles revealed global changes in the expression of genes implicated in energetic metabolism, mitochondrial activity and biogenesis with down-regulation in Ts2Yah and up-regulation in Ms3Yah mice. The shift in skeletal muscle metabolism correlated with a change in mitochondrial proliferation without an alteration of the respiratory function. However ROS production from mitochondrial complex I decreased in Ms3Yah mice while membrane permeability of Ts2Yah mitochondria slightly increased. Our results clearly demonstrate the central versus peripheral impact of the variation of copy number of the Stch-App region on the locomotor activity, muscle biology and mitochondrial biogenesis in models of these aneuploidies.

Project description:Reducing mitochondrial electron transport induces a Warburg-like shift to accommodate for the energetic burden caused by brain trauma without overwhelming mitochondrial cellular respiration and cellular redox to salvage dopaminergic neurons. This metabolic shift is evident in the transcriptional upregulation of key genes in the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex and glycolytic pathway.
