Project description:Background Mitochondrial alterations, often dependent on unbalanced mitochondrial dynamics, feature in cancer pathobiology, making mitochondria-targeting therapies a promising avenue for the treatment of several cancers, including multiple myeloma (MM). Flavonones are natural flavonoids endowed with mitochondrial-targeting activities. Herein, we investigated the capability of two flavonones, Hesperetin (Hes) and Naringenin (Nar), to selectively target Drp1, a pivotal regulator of mitochondrial dynamics, prompting anti-MM activity. Results Hes and Nar were found to accommodate within the GTPase binding site of Drp1, and to inhibit Drp1 expression and activity, leading to hyperfused mitochondria with reduced OXPHOS. In vitro, Hes and Nar reduced MM clonogenicity and viability, even in the presence of patient-derived bone marrow stromal cells, triggering ER stress and apoptosis. Interestingly, Hes and Nar rewired MM cell metabolism through the down-regulation of master transcription activators (SREBF-1, c-MYC) of lipogenesis genes. An extract of Tacle, a Citrus variety rich in Hes and Nar, was capable to recapitulate the phenotypic and molecular perturbations of each flavonone, triggering anti-MM activity in vivo. Conclusion Hes and Nar inhibit proliferation, induce apoptosis and rewire the metabolism of MM cells via the targeting of the mitochondrial fission pathway.

Project description:Ectopic ATP synthase is a functional onco-protein increases cell proliferation when transported to plasma membrane of cancer cells. Our previous study performed large scale gene silencing screening indicated ER and mitochondrial transport pathways may lead to ectopic ATP synthase expression. Silencing dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), mitofusin-1 (Mfn1) and Parkin affected ectopic ATP synthases expression. However, the underlying trafficking mechanism is poorly understood. Here, we analyzed our membrane and mitochondrial proteome of lung cancer A549 cells and found that both nuclear-encoded ATP synthase subunits and mitochondrial-encoded components-ATP6 translocated to cell surface, indicating that ATP synthase subunits assembled in mitochondria. Furthermore, serum starvation enhanced ATP synthase translocation to plasma membrane, Mdivi-1, a chemical inhibitor of the mitochondrial fission protein Drp1, rescued the phenomena. Additionally, image quantification of mitochondria, showing that mitochondrial fission preference cells expressed more eATP synthase. Therefore, we proposed that eATP synthase trafficking may be related to mitochondrial dynamics. Additionally, ICC and flow cytometry revealed the expression of a critical transcription factor associated with high-risk neuroblastoma, MYCN, correlated with eATP synthase expression. To better understand whether MYCN mediated mitochondrial fission and affected ATP synthase trafficking, we first analyzed MYCN ChIP-sequencing data and found Drp1, Mfns and Parkin possessed the consensus DNA-binding motif of MYCN. Further high-resolution image analysis showed higher mitochondrial fission and eATP synthase expression in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma. Last, silencing MYCN reduced the fission level by detecting DRP1. In summary, we suggest that trafficking of ectopic ATP synthase may via mitochondrial dynamics.

Project description:Dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) mediates mitochondrial fission and permits rapid cell cycle progression in hyperproliferative cells by coordinating nuclear and mitochondrial division, a process called mitotic fission. However, DRP1 alone appears insufficient to complete fission and the link between fission and cell cycle progression is unknown.We hypothesize Dynamin 2 (DNM2) interacts with DRP1 to complete mitochondrial fission and regulate cell cycle progression. We show that DNM2 is upregulated in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells in human and rodent pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH PASMC), contributing to disease pathophysiology.

Project description:To study whether increase in mitochondrial oxidative stress (SOD2 removal) and decrease in mitochondrial DNA repair (Ogg1 dMTS) results into increase in mitochondrial DNA mutation load. Oxidative stress has been suggested to induce mutations in mtDNA. To verify this, we extracted and sequenced (Illumina) mitochondrial DNA from heart Sod2 knockout animals that were also deficient for mitochondrial base-excision repair. The repair deficiency was induced by removing the genomic region encoding for the predicted mitochondrial targeting sequence from endogenous OGG1 (L2 to W23) called Ogg1 dMTS mice, thus excluding the protein from mitochondria. OGG1 is a DNA glycosylase that recognizes and repairs 8-oxo-dG damage from DNA. Oxidative stress can induce 8-oxo-dG lesions, thus we removed the mitochondrial matrix localized superoxide dismutase (SOD2) from these mice to increase the level of oxidative stress. 8-oxo-dG lesion can be mutagenic because some DNA repair polymerases are known to erroneously incorporate adenosine opposite to 8-oxo-dG during replication leading to GC>TA transversion mutations.

Project description:Fasting triggers diverse physiological adaptations including increases in circulating fatty acids and mitochondrial respiration to facilitate organismal survival. The mechanisms driving mitochondrial adaptations and respiratory sufficiency during fasting remain incompletely understood. Here we show that fasting or lipid availability stimulates mTORC2 activity. Activation of mTORC2 and phosphorylation of its downstream target NDRG1 at Ser336 sustains mitochondrial fission and respiratory sufficiency. Timelapse imaging shows that NDRG1, but not phosphorylation-deficient NDRG1Ser336Ala mutant, engages with mitochondria to facilitate fission in both control and Drp1-deficient cells, reflecting independency from Drp1. Using proteomics, an siRNA screen, and epistasis experiments, we show that mTORC2-phosphorylated NDRG1 cooperates with small GTPase Cdc42 and effectors and regulators of Cdc42 to orchestrate fission. Accordingly, RictorKO, NDRG1Ser336Ala mutants, and Cdc42-deficient cells each display mitochondrial phenotypes reminiscent of fission failure. During nutrient surplus, mTOR complexes perform anabolic functions; however, paradoxical reactivation of mTORC2 during fasting unexpectedly drives mitochondrial fission and respiration.

Project description:Well-balanced mitochondrial fission and fusion processes are essential for nervous system development. Loss of function of the main mitochondrial fission mediator, dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), is lethal early during embryonic development or around birth, but the role of mitochondrial fission in adult neurons remains unclear. Here we show that inducible Drp1 ablation in neurons of the adult mouse forebrain results in progressive, neuronal subtype-specific alterations of mitochondrial morphology in the hippocampus that are marginally responsive to antioxidant treatment. Furthermore, DRP1 loss affects synaptic transmission and memory function. Although these changes culminate in hippocampal atrophy, they are not sufficient to cause neuronal cell death within 10 weeks of genetic Drp1 ablation. Collectively, our in vivo observations clarify the role of mitochondrial fission in neurons, demonstrating that Drp1 ablation in adult forebrain neurons compromises critical neuronal functions without causing overt neurodegeneration.

Project description:In cells, mitochondria undergo constant fusion and fission. An essential factor for fission is the mammalian dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1). Dysregulation of Drp1 has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson’s as well as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Here, we developed nanobodies (Nbs) for proteomics, advanced microscopy and live cell imaging of Drp1. To specifically enrich endogenous Drp1 with interacting proteins for proteomics, we functionalized high-affinity Nbs as capture matrices. Considering the wide range of research applications, the presented Nb toolset will open up new possibilities for advanced functional studies of Drp1 in disease-relevant models.

Project description:To study whether increase in mitochondrial oxidative stress (SOD2 removal) and decrease in mitochondrial DNA repair (Ogg1 dMTS) results into increase in mutations in mitochondrial RNA (mtRNA). Oxidative stress has been suggested to induce mutations in mtDNA and as DNA is used as a template in transcription, mutations or 8-oxo-dG on DNA can induce GC>TA transversion accumulation in mtRNA. To verify this, we extracted and sequenced (Illumina) total RNA from heart Sod2 knockout mice alone and mice that were also deficient for mitochondrial base-excision repair. The repair deficiency was induced by removing the genomic region encoding for the predicted mitochondrial targeting sequence from endogenous OGG1 (L2 to W23) called Ogg1 dMTS mice, thus excluding the protein from mitochondria. OGG1 is a DNA glycosylase that recognizes and repairs 8-oxo-dG damage from DNA. Oxidative stress can induce 8-oxo-dG lesions, thus we removed the mitochondrial matrix localized superoxide dismutase (SOD2) from these mice to increase the level of oxidative stress. 8-oxo-dG lesion can be mutagenic because some DNA repair polymerases are known to erroneously incorporate adenosine opposite to 8-oxo-dG during replication leading to GC>TA transversion mutations.

Project description:Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) plays a critical role in mitochondrial fission and liver function. The interactions between mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and lipid droplets (LDs) are essential for lipid metabolism. In this study, liver-specific Drp1 knockout (Drp1LiKO) mice were utilized to investigate the impact of disrupted organelle interactions. Analysis revealed increased interactions between mitochondria and LDs, as well as among ER, mitochondria, and LDs in Drp1LiKO mice. As a result, impaired fatty acid metabolism was observed, leading to liver inflammation. In vitro studies using primary hepatocytes from Drp1LiKO mice further confirmed disrupted lipid metabolism and increased inflammation. These findings underscore the significance of Drp1 in maintaining organelle interactions for proper lipid metabolism and liver health. Targeting Drp1-mediated interactions may present a promising approach for the treatment of liver diseases associated with lipid metabolism dysregulation.
