ITRAQ-based analysis of muscle mitochondria isolated from LONP1-mKO mice

ABSTRACT: This experiment was conducted to identify the mitochondrial protein changes in the presence and absence of LONP1 in skeletal muscle. The following abstract from the submitted manuscript describes the major findings of this work.Disuse-associated loss of muscle LONP1 impairs mitochondrial quality and causes reduced skeletal muscle mass and strength.

Mitochondrial proteolysis is an evolutionarily conserved quality control mechanism to maintain proper mitochondrial integrity and function. However, the physiological relevance of stress-induced impaired mitochondrial protein quality remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that LONP1, a major mitochondrial protease resides in the matrix, plays a critical role in controlling mitochondrial quality as well as skeletal muscle mass and strength in response to muscle disuse. In humans and mice, disuse-related muscle loss is associated with decreased mitochondrial LONP1 protein. Skeletal muscle-specific ablation of LONP1 in mice resulted in impaired mitochondrial protein turnover, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. This caused reduced muscle fiber size and strength. Mechanistically, aberrant accumulation of mitochondrial-retained protein in muscle upon loss of LONP1 induces the activation of autophagy-lysosome degradation program of muscle loss. Overexpressing a mitochondrial-retained mutant ornithine transcarbamylase (ΔOTC), a known protein degraded by LONP1, in skeletal muscle induces mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagy activation, and cause muscle loss and weakness. Thus, these findings reveal a pivotal role of LONP1-dependent mitochondrial protein quality-control in safeguarding mitochondrial function and preserving skeletal muscle mass and strength, and unravel an intriguing link between mitochondrial protein quality and muscle mass maintenance during muscle disuse.

Project description:Background. Pancreatic Ductal AdenoCarcinoma (PDAC), the most frequent pancreatic cancer, is a deadly cancer since often diagnosed late and resistant to current therapies. A high proportion of PDAC patients are affected by cachexia induced by the tumor. This cachexia, characterized by loss of muscle mass and strength, contributes to patient frailty and poor therapeutic response. We showed that mitochondrial metabolism is reprogrammed in PDAC tumor cell and constitutes a vulnerability, opening novel therapeutic avenues. The objective of the present work was to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial remodeling in PDAC cachectic skeletal muscle. Methods. Our study focused on the gastrocnemius muscle of genetically-engineered mice developing spontaneously a PDAC associated with cachexia (KIC GEMM). We compared KIC mice developing a pancreatic tumor in 9-10 weeks to control littermates. We did an integrative study combining in vivo functional analyses by non-invasive Magnetic Resonance, and ex-vivo histology, Seahorse, RNA-sequencing, and proteomic mass spectrometry and western blotting analyses. Results. The cachectic KIC PDAC mice show a severe sarcopenia with loss of muscle mass and strength associated with a diminution in muscle fiber’s size and induction of protein degradation processes. Mitochondria in PDAC atrophic muscles show decreased respiratory capacities and structural alterations (“hyperfused” mitochondria), associated with deregulation of oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial dynamics pathways at the molecular level. Increased expression of multiple reactive oxygen species (ROS) defense genes suggests oxidative stress prone to affect mitochondrial macromolecules and homeostasis. Interestingly, multiple genes and proteins involved in DNA metabolism pathways, such as DNA damage, degradation of DNA, nucleotide synthesis, and folate pathway were found altered in sarcopenic mitochondria. While the number of mitochondria was not changed, the mitochondrial mass was decreased by a factor of 2 and the mitochondrial DNA by a factor of 3, suggesting a defect in mitochondrial genome homeostasis. Conclusions. We unveiled that mitochondrial alterations in skeletal muscle play a central role in PDAC-induced cachexia. Muscle atrophy is associated with strong mitochondrial metabolic defects that are not limited to carbohydrates and protein, but concern also lipids, ROS and nucleic acids. Our data provide a frame to guide towards the most relevant molecular markers that would be affected at the start of tumor development and could be targets in the clinic to limit PDAC-induced cachexia at early stages of the pathology.
