Project description:Mitochondria are vital for cellular energy supply and intracellular signaling after stress. Here, we aimed to investigate how mitochondria respond to acute DNA damage with respect to mitophagy, which is an important mitochondrial quality control process. Our results show that mitophagy increases after DNA damage in primary fibroblasts, murine neurons, and C. elegans neurons. Our results indicate that modulation of mitophagy after DNA damage is independent of the type of DNA damage stimuli used and that the protein Spata18 is an important player in this process. Knockdown of Spata18 suppresses mitophagy, disturbs mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis, affects ATP production, and attenuates DNA repair. Importantly, mitophagy after DNA damage is a vital cellular response to maintain mitochondrial functions and DNA repair.

Project description:Damaged mitochondria can be cleared from the cell by mitophagy, using a pathway formed by the recessive Parkinson’s disease genes PINK1 and Parkin. Whether the pathway senses diverse forms of mitochondrial damage by a common mechanism, however, remains uncertain. Here, using a novel Parkin reporter in genome-wide screens, we identified that diverse forms of mitochondrial damage converge on loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) to activate PINK1. Loss of MMP, but not the PAM import motor, blocked progression of PINK1 import through the translocase of the inner membrane (TIM23), causing it to remain bound to the translocase of the outer membrane (TOM). Ablation of TIM23 was sufficient to arrest PINK1 in TOM, irrespective of MMP. Meanwhile, TOM (including subunit TOMM5) was required for PINK1 retention on the mitochondrial surface. The energy-state outside of the mitochondria further modulated the pathway by controlling the rate of new PINK1 synthesis. Together, our findings point to a convergent mechanism of PINK1-Parkin activation by mitochondrial damage: loss of MMP stalls PINK1 import during its transfer from TOM to TIM23.

Project description:DNA replication is sensitive to damage in the template. To bypass lesions and complete replication, cells activate recombination-mediated (error-free) and translesion synthesis-mediated (error-prone) DNA damage tolerance pathways. Crucial for error-free DNA damage tolerance is template switching, which depends on the formation and resolution of damage-bypass intermediates consisting of sister chromatid junctions. Here we show that a chromatin architectural pathway involving the high mobility group box protein Hmo1 channels replication-associated lesions into the error-free DNA damage tolerance pathway mediated by Rad5 and PCNA polyubiquitylation, while preventing mutagenic bypass and toxic recombination. In the process of template switching, Hmo1 also promotes sister chromatid junction formation predominantly during replication. Its C-terminal tail, implicated in chromatin bending, facilitates the formation of catenations/hemicatenations and mediates the roles of Hmo1 in DNA damage tolerance pathway choice and sister chromatid junction formation. Together, the results suggest that replication-associated topological changes involving the molecular DNA bender, Hmo1, set the stage for dedicated repair reactions that limit errors during replication and impact on genome stability. BrdU and proteins ChIP-chip analyses analysis were carried out as described (Bermejo et al., 2009). Labelled probes were hybridized to Affymetrix S.cerevisiae Tiling 1.0 (P/N 900645) arrays and processed with TAS software.

Project description:Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancy in the urinary tract with high recurrence and drug resistance in clinics. Alternative treatments from existing drugs might be a promising strategy. Nitazoxanide (NTZ), an FDA-approved antiprotozoal drug, has got increasingly noticed because of its favorable safety profile and antitumor potential, yet the effects in bladder cancer and underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Herein, we find that NTZ induces mitochondrial damage and mitophagy initiation through PINK1-generated phospho-ubiquitin(pS65-Ub) and autophagy receptor-mediated pathway even in the absence of Atg5/Beclin1. Meanwhile, NTZ inhibits lysosomal degradation activity, leading to mitophagy flux impairment at late stage. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is critical in this process, as eliminating ROS with N-acetylcysteine (NAC) efficiently inhibits PINK1 signaling-mediated mitophagy initiation and alleviates lysosomal dysfunction. Co-treatment with NTZ and autophagy inhibitor Chloroquine (CQ) to aggravate mitophagy flux impairment promotes NTZ-induced apoptosis, while alleviation of mitophagy flux impairment with ROS scavenger reduced cell death. Moreover, we also discover a similar signaling response in the 3D bladder tumor spheroid after NTZ exposure. In vivo study reveals a significant inhibition of orthotopic bladder tumors with no obvious systemic toxicity. Together, our results uncover the anti-tumor activities of NTZ with the involvement of ROS-mediated mitophagy modulation at different stages and demonstrate it as a potential drug candidate for fighting against bladder tumors.

Project description:Cardiomyocytes rely on mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) for ATP production in the healthy heart but can exhibit marked metabolic flexibility in response to diverse physiological circumstances. Mutations or deficiencies in FAO enzymes can lead to a spectrum of symptoms, ranging from muscle weakness to severe cardiomyopathy, and, in some instances, culminate in neonatal/infantile mortality. It is generally believed that under FAO deficit, mitochondria encounter stress, potentially triggering the initiation of mitophagy, a process crucial for maintaining mitochondrial quality. We explored the link between FAO deficiency and mitophagy utilizing FAO-deficient mice generated through cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of the Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2). Intriguingly, our findings contradicted the prevailing hypothesis, revealing an unexpected decline in mitophagy in FAO-deficient hearts. Employing an integrated approach involving quantitative proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics assays, we identified suppressed a PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway in CPT2-deficient heart tissues. Our study demonstrated that the loss of cardiac FAO impairs the PINK1 pathway by modulating the mitochondrial rhomboid protease PARL (presenilin-associated rhomboid-like protein). Furthermore, inhibiting USP30, a mitochondrial deubiquitinating enzyme antagonizing PINK1/Parkin function, restored cardiac mitophagy, thereby alleviating FAO-associated cardiac dysfunction. Notably, the deletion of USP30 conferred a significant survival advantage to FAO-deficient animals, doubling the median survival and substantially improving the maximum survival rate. The study unveiled a novel connection between FAO and PINK1-dependent mitophagy, presenting a potential therapeutic avenue for addressing FAO-deficient cardiomyopathies.

Project description:Gemcitabine resistance in gallbladder cancer poses a significant challenge to patient prognosis. This study identified RUVBL2 as a critical factor contributing to gemcitabine resistance in gallbladder cancer. Further analysis, combining ChIP-seq and gene enrichment studies, revealed that RUVBL2 regulates the mitophagy pathway. This regulation helps maintain intracellular redox homeostasis in gallbladder cancer cells following gemcitabine treatment.
