PDK1 coordinates mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy to ensure mitochondrial maturation in post-natal cardiomyocytes

ABSTRACT: During early post-natal stage, cardiomyocytes undergo dramatic structural, metabolic, electrophysiological and cell cycle alterations towards maturation. Among them, the metabolic shift from carbohydrates to fatty acids metabolism is achieved along with mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamic switch and mitophagy. However, the regulatory mechanisms responsible for coordinated mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy in mitochondrial maturation remain unclear. Here, we found that ablation of PDK1 in post-natal cardiomyocytes impairs mitochondrial maturation and metabolism, characterizing by arrest of mitochondria in neonatal stage, low levels of a subset of fatty acids and acylcarnitines. In addition, loss of PDK1 results in dysregulated mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy. An imbalance of the AMPK-mTOR pathway and reduced phosphorylation of PDK1 substrates, including PKA and PKC family members, are observed. These results demonstrated that PDK1 ensures mitochondrial maturation and metabolic shift through kinase-dependent substrate phosphorylation and maintenance of the AMPK-mTOR axis to coordinate mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy.

Project description:DallePazze2014 - Cellular senescene-induced mitochondrial dysfunction This model is described in the article: Dynamic modelling of pathways to cellular senescence reveals strategies for targeted interventions. Dalle Pezze P, Nelson G, Otten EG, Korolchuk VI, Kirkwood TB, von Zglinicki T, Shanley DP. PLoS Comput. Biol. 2014 Aug; 10(8): e1003728 Abstract: Cellular senescence, a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest, is thought to help protect an organism from cancer, yet also contributes to ageing. The changes which occur in senescence are controlled by networks of multiple signalling and feedback pathways at the cellular level, and the interplay between these is difficult to predict and understand. To unravel the intrinsic challenges of understanding such a highly networked system, we have taken a systems biology approach to cellular senescence. We report a detailed analysis of senescence signalling via DNA damage, insulin-TOR, FoxO3a transcription factors, oxidative stress response, mitochondrial regulation and mitophagy. We show in silico and in vitro that inhibition of reactive oxygen species can prevent loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, whilst inhibition of mTOR shows a partial rescue of mitochondrial mass changes during establishment of senescence. Dual inhibition of ROS and mTOR in vitro confirmed computational model predictions that it was possible to further reduce senescence-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and DNA double-strand breaks. However, these interventions were unable to abrogate the senescence-induced mitochondrial dysfunction completely, and we identified decreased mitochondrial fission as the potential driving force for increased mitochondrial mass via prevention of mitophagy. Dynamic sensitivity analysis of the model showed the network stabilised at a new late state of cellular senescence. This was characterised by poor network sensitivity, high signalling noise, low cellular energy, high inflammation and permanent cell cycle arrest suggesting an unsatisfactory outcome for treatments aiming to delay or reverse cellular senescence at late time points. Combinatorial targeted interventions are therefore possible for intervening in the cellular pathway to senescence, but in the cases identified here, are only capable of delaying senescence onset.
