Chromatin stability safeguards mitochondrial homeostasis and prevents mTORC1 hyperactivation

ABSTRACT: Cells dynamically regulate chromatin in response to nutrient flux that promotes the transcriptional changes necessary for adaptation. The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) kinase integrates nutrient signaling with chromatin regulation, yet whether chromatin stability feeds back to mTORC1 activation and stress adaption remains unknown. We previously identified histone H3 at lysine 37 (H3K37) as essential for the cellular response to mTORC1 stress where mutation of H3K37 to alanine (H3K37A) causes cell death upon mTORC1 inhibition. Herein, we show that H3K37-dependent chromatin stability prevents proteasome-mediated histone degradation, restricts mTORC1 signaling, and safeguards mitochondrial homeostasis during mTORC1 stress. Genetic interaction analyses reveal that H3K37A combined with mutants that destabilize chromatin, including loss of the Set2 H3K36 methyltransferase, Rpd3S histone deacetylase, or multiple histone deposition pathways, causes synthetic lethality when mTORC1 is inhibited. Transcriptome analysis indicates that H3K37A misregulates the mitochondrial transcriptome during mTORC1 stress, which increases mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and triggers lethal mitochondrial retrograde signaling. Inactivation of retrograde signaling, or ROS neutralization, rescues viability of H3K37A and chromatin stability mutants during mTORC1 stress. These findings establish chromatin stability as a key safeguard that restrains mTORC1 signaling and prevents toxic mitochondrial stress during metabolic adaptation.

Lysosomes mediate the mitochondrial UPR via mTORC1-dependent ATF4 phosphorylation

Project description:Lysosomes are central platforms for not only the degradation of macromolecules but also the integration of multiple signaling pathways. However, whether and how lysosomes mediate the mitochondrial stress response (MSR) remain largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that lysosomal acidification via the vacuolar H+-ATPase (v-ATPase) is essential for the transcriptional activation of the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt). Mitochondrial stress stimulates v-ATPase-mediated lysosomal activation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), which then directly phosphorylates the MSR transcription factor, activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4). Disruption of mTORC1-dependent ATF4 phosphorylation blocks the UPRmt, but not other similar stress responses, such as the UPRER. Finally, ATF4 phosphorylation downstream of the v-ATPase/mTORC1 signaling is indispensable for sustaining mitochondrial redox homeostasis and protecting cells from reactive oxygen species (ROS)-associated cell death upon mitochondrial stress. Thus, v-ATPase/mTORC1-mediated ATF4 phosphorylation via lysosomes links mitochondrial stress to UPRmt activation and mitochondrial function resilience.

Mitochondrial retrograde signaling in mammals is mediated by the transcriptional cofactor GPS2 via direct mitochondria-to-nucleus translocation

Project description:As most of the mitochondrial proteome is encoded in the nucleus, mitochondrial functions critically depend on nuclear gene expression and bidirectional mito-nuclear communication. However, mitochondria-to-nucleus communication pathways are incompletely understood. Here, we identify G-Protein Pathway Suppressor 2 (GPS2) as a mediator of mitochondrial retrograde signaling and a key transcriptional activator of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes in mammals. GPS2 regulated translocation from mitochondria to nucleus is essential for the transcriptional activation of the nuclear stress response to mitochondrial depolarization and for supporting basal mitochondrial biogenesis in differentiating adipocytes and in brown adipose tissue from mice. In the nucleus, GPS2 recruitment to target gene promoters regulates histone H3K9 demethylation and RNA Polymerase II (POL2) activation through inhibition of Ubc13-mediated ubiquitination. These findings, together, reveal an unexpected layer of regulation of mitochondrial gene transcription, uncover a novel direct mitochondria-nuclear communication pathway and indicate that GPS2 retrograde signaling is a key component of the mitochondrial stress response in mammals.

Mitofusin 2 expression in muscle decreases during aging and generates a gene signature characteristic of aged muscle

Project description:Mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins regulate mitochondrial quality control and mitochondrial metabolism. In turn, mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with aging, although its causes are still under debate. Here, we show that aging is characterized by a progressive reduction of Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) in mouse skeletal muscle and that skeletal muscle Mfn2 ablation in mice generates a gene signature linked to aging. Furthermore, muscle Mfn2-deficient mice show unhealthy aging characterized by altered metabolic homeostasis and sarcopenia. Mfn2 deficiency impairs mitochondrial quality control, which contributes to an exacerbated age-related mitochondrial dysfunction. Surprisingly, aging-induced Mfn2 deficiency triggers a ROS-dependent retrograde signaling pathway through induction of HIF1 transcription factor and BNIP3. This pathway ameliorates mitochondrial autophagy and minimizes mitochondrial damage. Our findings reveal that repression of Mfn2 in skeletal muscle during aging is determinant for the loss of mitochondrial quality, contributing to age-associated metabolic alterations and loss of muscle fitness. Quadriceps muscle from four mice per genotype were used (Control young (6 month-old), Mfn2KO young (6-month-old), control old (22-month-old) and Mfn2KO old (22-month-old)

mtROS-driven Sp1-dependent retrograde signaling promotes colorectal tumor progression via SIRT3-PAGM5 axis-governed mitochondrial homeostasis

Project description:Mitochondrial-nuclear communication is critical for maintaining mitochondrial integrity and cellular metabolic adaptation. While mitochondrial dysfunction triggers compensatory retrograde signaling, the molecular mechanisms underlying defect sensing and resolution remain poorly defined. Here, we demonstrated that mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) trigger Sp1 stabilization and nuclear translocation, which directly activate transcription of the NAD+-dependent deacetylase SIRT3 through specific promoter binding, revealing a redox-sensitive regulatory axis controlling mitochondrial homeostasis. Mechanistically, SIRT3 sustains mitochondrial integrity through site-specific deacetylation (K141) of mitochondrial phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5). Furthermore, SIRT3-mediated deacetylation of PGAM5 was instrumental in promoting Pink1/parkin-dependent mitophagy, thereby maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. Alternatively, we identified the mitochondrial-nuclear retrograde signaling cascade comprising Sp1, SIRT3 and PGAM5 as a novel driver of colorectal tumorigenesis. Taken together, our findings reveal that mtROS act as pivotal signaling mediators linking mitochondrial perturbations to the nuclear transcriptional adaptation response via the Sp1-SIRT3-PGAM5 retrograde signaling axis. This retrograde signaling cascade enables adaptive transcriptional reprogramming to restore mitochondrial homeostasis, thereby endowing tumor cells with increased stress tolerance.

Retrograde mitochondrial signaling governs the identity and maturity of metabolic tissues

Project description:Mitochondrial damage is a hallmark of metabolic diseases, including diabetes and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, yet the consequences of impaired mitochondria in metabolic tissues are often unclear. Here, we report that dysfunctional mitochondrial quality control engages a retrograde (mitonuclear) signaling program that impairs cellular identity and maturity across multiple metabolic tissues. Surprisingly, we demonstrate that defects in the mitochondrial quality control machinery, which we observe in pancreatic β cells of humans with diabetes, cause reductions of β cell mass due to dedifferentiation, rather than apoptosis. Utilizing transcriptomic profiling, lineage tracing, and assessments of chromatin accessibility, we find that targeted deficiency anywhere in the mitochondrial quality control pathway (e.g., genome integrity, dynamics, or turnover) activate the mitochondrial integrated stress response and promote cellular immaturity in β cells, hepatocytes, and brown adipocytes. Intriguingly, pharmacologic blockade of mitochondrial retrograde signaling in vivo restores β cell mass and identity to ameliorate hyperglycemia following mitochondrial damage. Thus, we observe that a shared mitochondrial retrograde response controls cellular identity across metabolic tissues and may be a promising target to treat or prevent metabolic disorders.

Menin maintains lysosomal and mitochondrial homeostasis through epigenetic mechanisms in lung cancer [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Lysosome-mediated autophagy (including mitophagy) is crucial for cell survival and homeostasis. Although the mechanisms of lysosome activation during stress are well recognized, the epigenetic regulation of lysosomal gene expression remains largely unexplored. Menin, encoded by the MEN1 gene, is a chromatin-related protein that is widely involved in gene transcription via histone modifications. Here, we report that menin regulates the transcription of specific lysosomal genes, such as CTSB, CTSE, and TFE3, through MLL-mediated H3K4me3 reprogramming, which is necessary for maintaining lysosomal homeostasis. Menin also directly controls the expression of SQSTM1 and MAP1LC3B to maintain autophagic flux in an AMPK-mTORC1-independent manner. Furthermore, loss of menin led to mitochondrial dysfunction, resulting in elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ultimately leading to genome instability. In genetically engineered mouse models, Men1 deficiency resulted in severe lysosomal and mitochondrial dysfunction and an impaired self-clearance ability, which further led to metabolite accumulation and spontaneous lung cancer development. SP2509, a histone demethylase inhibitor, effectively reversed the downregulation of lysosomal and mitochondrial genes caused by loss of Men1. Our study confirms the previously unrecognized biological and mechanistic importance of menin-mediated H3K4me3 in maintaining organelle homeostasis.
