Project description:Mutations in nuclear genes encoding for mitochondrial proteins very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) and trifunctional protein (TFP) cause rare autosomal recessive disorders. Studies in fibroblasts derived from patients with mutations in VLCAD and TFP exhibit mitochondrial defects. To gain insights on pathological changes that account for the mitochondria l deficits we performed quantitative proteomic, biochemical, and morphometric analyses in fibroblasts derived from subjects with three different VLCAD and three different TFP mutations. Proteomic data that was corroborated by antibody-based detection, indicated reduced levels of VLCAD and TFP protein in cells with VLCAD and TFP mutations respectively, which in part accounted for the diminished fatty acid oxidation capacity. Decreased mitochondrial respiratory capacity in cells with VLCAD and TFP mutations was quantified after glucose removal and cells with TFP mutations had lower levels of glycogen. Despite these energetic deficiencies, the cells with VLCAD and TFP mutations did not exhibit changes in mitochondria morphology, distribution, fusion and fission, quantified by either confocal or transmission electron microscopy and corroborated by proteomic and antibody-based protein analysis. Fibroblasts with VLCAD and to a lesser extend cells with TFP mutations had increased levels of mitochondrial respiratory chain proteins and proteins that facilitate the assembly of respiratory complexes. With the exception of reduced levels of catalase and glutathione S-transferase theta-1 in cells with TFP mutations, the levels of 45 proteins across all major intracellular antioxidant networks were similar between cells with VLCAD and TFP mutations and non-disease controls. Collectively the data indicate that despite the metabolic deficits, cells with VLCAD and TFP mutations maintain their proteomic integrity to preserve cellular and mitochondria architecture, support energy production and protect against oxidative stress.

Project description:Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes essential components of the respiratory chain and loss of mtDNA leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is an essential component of mtDNA replication and a regulator of mitochondrial copy number in cells. Studies have shown that TFAM knockdown leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and respiratory chain deficiencies. ATP synthase is Complex V of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. It is driven by a proton gradient between the intermembrane space and the mitochondrial matrix and generates the majority of cellular ATP. The knockdown of coupling factor 6 (Cf6), one of the components of the proton channel F0, causes dysfunction in the complex, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and respiratory chain deficiencies. Using gene expression analysis, we aimed to investigate the effects of mtDNA dysfunction in the CNS at the molecular level.

Using gene expression analysis, we aimed to investigate the effects of mtDNA dysfunction in the CNS at the molecular level. We used microarray analysis to investigate gene expression in cases of mitochondrial dysfunction in the CNS. RNA was purified from the late third instar larval CNS from control larvae, or larvae over-expressing mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) in post-mitotic neurons using the neuron specific driver nsyb-Gal4. Three replicates are included for each condition.

Project description:Objective: To study if diabetic and insulin-resistant states lead to mitochondrial dysfunction in the liver, or alternatively, if there is adaption of mitochondrial function to these states in the long-term range. Results: High-fat diet (HFD) caused insulin resistance and severe hepatic lipid accumulation, but respiratory chain parameters were unchanged. Livers from insulin-resistant IR/IRS-1+/- mice had normal lipid contents and normal respiratory chain parameters, however showed mitochondrial uncoupling. Livers from severely hyperglycemic and hypoinsulimic, streptozotocin (STZ)-treated mice had massively depleted lipid levels, but respiratory chain abundance was unchanged. However, their mitochondria showed increased abundance and activity of the respiratory chain, which was better coupled compared to controls. Conclusions: Insulin resistance, either induced by obesity or by genetic manipulation, does not cause mitochondrial dysfunction in the liver of mice. However, severe insulin deficiency and high blood glucose levels in mice cause an enhanced performance of the respiratory chain, probably in order to maintain the high energy requirement of the unsuppressed gluconeogenesis. We performed gene expression microarray analysis on liver tissue derived from mice treated with STZ or standard diet (control).

Project description:The mitochondrial respiratory chain is composed of lipoprotein complexes imbedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This chain of enzymes transfers electrons from NADH and FADH2, provided from divers metabolic pathways, to oxygen. It couples the transfer of electrons to the translocation of protons across the membrane. Several clinical syndromes have been associated with respiratory dysfunction caused by mitochondrial or nuclear mutations. A number of mutations in the mitochondrial genes encoding for cytochrome b (CYTB) and cytochrome oxidase (COX 1, 2 and 3) have been linked with diseases. We are using yeast mutants to characterize the deleterious effect of mutations reported in patients on the assembly and catalytic properties of the affected enzymes, and to study the impact of mutations in nuclear genes, such as OXA1, encoding for factors required for the assembly of the respiratory complexes. In this work, we monitored the effects of the mutations causing respiratory defect on the whole genome expression. We compared the change in gene expression in rho0 cells (with a complete deletion of the mitochondrial genome, and by consequence without respiratory chain), in cells with either a single defective enzyme or several, and in cells after prolonged treatment with the bc1 inhibitors myxothiazol or antimycin. The impact of the mutations on the respiratory function ranged from mild to severe. The expression of approx. 350 genes was changed in at least one mutant. Cluster analysis was performed using the Cluster program (Eisen, 1998, PNAS 95:14863). Four groups of genes were studied in more details: Group A, the most repressed genes; Group B, the most over-expressed genes; Group C, genes more repressed in rho0 and Doxa1 cells; and Group D, genes more over-expressed in Doxa1.

Project description:The mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) enzymes associate in supercomplexes (SC). This structural interdependency may explain why defects in a single component often produce combined enzyme deficiencies in patients. A point in case is the alleged destabilization of complex I in the absence of complex III. To clarify the structural and functional relationships between complexes, we have used comprehensive proteomic, functional and biogenetical approaches to analyze a MT-CYB-deficient human cell line.

Project description:Leigh Syndrome (LS) is the most common early-onset, progressive mitochondrial encephalopathy usually leading to early death. The single most prevalent cause of LS is occurrence of mutations in the hSurf1 gene. LSSurf1 patients show a marked and specific decrease in the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex IV (cytochrome c oxidase, COX). hSurf1 encodes an inner membrane mitochondrial protein involved in COX assembly. We established a D. melanogaster model of LS based on the post-transcriptional silencing of CG9943, the Drosophila homolog of hSurf1. Knock down of Surf1 was induced (i) ubiquitously, which led to larval lethality; (ii) in the mesodermal derivatives, which led to pupal lethality; (iii) in the central nervous system, which allowed survival; and (iv) at specific developmental stages. A biochemical characterization was carried out in knock down individuals, which unexpectedly revealed defects in all complexes of the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) included the F-ATP synthase (complex V) in larvae, and a COX-specific impairment in adults. Silencing of Surf1 expression in Drosophila S2R+ cells led to loss of COX activity associated with decreased oxygen consumption. We conclude that Surf1 is essential for COX activity and mitochondrial function in D. melanogaster, and provide a new tool to clarify the pathogenic mechanisms of LS.

Project description:A constant communication between mitochondria and nucleus ensures cellular homeostasis and adaptation to mitochondrial stress. Anterograde regulatory pathways involving a large number of nuclear-encoded proteins control mitochondrial biogenesis and functions. Such functions are deregulated in cancer, resulting in proliferative advantages for cancer cells, aggressive disease and therapeutic resistance. Transcriptional networks controlling the nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes are known, however alternative splicing (AS) regulation has not been implicated in this communication. Here, we show that IQGAP1, a scaffold protein that regulates AS of distinct gene subsets in gastric cancer cells, participates in AS regulation that strongly affects mitochondrial respiration. Combined proteomic and RNA-seq analyses of IQGAP1KO and parental cells show that IQGAP1KO alters a specific AS event of the mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I (CI) subunit NDUFS4 and downregulates a subset of CI subunits. In IQGAP1KO cells, CI intermediates accumulate resembling assembly deficiencies observed in patients with Leigh syndrome bearing NDUFS4 mutations. Mitochondrial CI activity is significantly lower in KO compared to parental cells, while exogenous expression of IQGAP1 reverses mitochondrial defects of IQGAP1KO cells. Our work sheds light to a novel facet of IQGAP1 in mitochondrial quality control that involves fine-tuning of CI activity through AS regulation in gastric cancer.
