Mitochondrial cristae architecture protects against mtDNA release and inflammation


ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial damage causes mtDNA release to activate type I interferon (IFN-I) response via the cGAS-STING pathway. mtDNA-induced inflammation promotes autoimmune and aging-related degenerative disorders. However, the global picture of inflammation-inducing mitochondrial damages remains obscure. Here we performed a mitochondria-targeted CRISPR-knockout screen for regulators of the IFN-I response. Strikingly, our screen revealed dozens of hits enriched with key regulators of cristae architecture, including phospholipid cardiolipin and protein complexes such as OPA1, MICOS, SAM, MIB, PHB, and the F1Fo-ATP synthase. Disrupting these cristae organizers consistently induced mtDNA release and STING-dependent IFN-I response. Furthermore, robust STING-dependent IFN-I response was induced in vivo by knocking out MTX2, a subunit of the SAM complex whose null-mutations cause progeria in human. Taken together, beyond revealing the central role of cristae architecture to prevent mtDNA release and inflammation, our results mechanistically link mitochondrial cristae disorganization and inflammation, two emerging hallmarks of aging and aging-related degenerative diseases.
