Project description:OPA1, a mitochondria-shaping protein controlling cristae biogenesis and respiration, is required for memory T cell function, but whether it affects intrathymic T cell development is unknown. Here we show that OPA1 is necessary for thymocyte maturation at the double negative (DN)3 stage when rearrangement of the T-cell receptor β (Tcrβ) locus occurs. By profiling mitochondrial function at different stages of thymocyte maturation, we find that DN3 cells rely on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Consistently, Opa1 deletion during early T cell development impairs respiration of DN3 cells and reduces their number. Opa1-deficient DN3 cells indeed display stronger TCR signaling and are more prone to cell death. The surviving Opa1-/- thymocytes that reach the periphery as mature T cells display an Effector Memory phenotype even in the absence of antigenic stimulation but are unable to generate metabolically fit long-term memory T cells. Thus, mitochondrial defects early during T cell development affect mature T cell function.

Project description:Mitochondria are critical for metabolic homeostasis of the liver, and thus, mitochondrial dysfunction is a major cause of liver diseases. Optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) is a mitochondrial fusion protein that also plays a role in cristae shaping. Hence, the OPA1 gene disruption has been shown to cause mitochondrial dysfunction. However, the role of OPA1 in liver function is poorly understood. In this study, we deleted OPA1 in fully developed mouse liver and examined its effect.

Project description:Dysfunctions in mitochondria dynamics and metabolism are common pathological processes associated with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Recently, it was shown that an inherited form of PD and dementia is caused by new mutations in the OPA1 gene, which encodes for a key player of mitochondrial fusion and structure. iPSC-derived neural cells from these patients exhibited severe mitochondrial fragmentation, respiration impairment, ATP deficits and heightened oxidative stress. Reconstitution of normal levels of OPA1 in PD-derived neural cells normalized mitochondria morphology and function. OPA1 mutated neuronal cultures showed reduced survival in vitro. Intriguingly, selective inhibition of necroptosis effectively rescued this survival deficit. Additionally, dampening necroptosis in MPTP treated mice protected from DA neuronal cell loss. This human iPSC-based model captures both the early pathological events in OPA1 mutant neural cells and the beneficial effects of blocking necroptosis, highlighting this cell death process as a promising therapeutic target for PD.

Project description:Regulation of quiescence is essential for adult stem cell maintenance, longevity and sustained regeneration potential. Our studies have uncovered that physiological and transient changes in mitochondrial shape regulate the quiescent state of adult muscle stem cells (MuSCs). We show that mitochondria in MuSCs rapidly fragment in response to an activation stimulus, via a systemic HGF/mTOR mechanism, to drive the exit from deep quiescence. Deletion of the mitochondrial fusion protein OPA1 and forced mitochondrial fragmentation is sufficient to transition MuSCs into G-alert quiescence causing premature activation and depletion upon a stimulus. Loss of OPA1 activates a glutathione (GSH) redox signaling pathway that promotes cell-cycle progression, myogenic gene expression and commitment. MuSCs with chronic OPA1 loss and mitochondrial fragmentation, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction, continue to reside in a primed state but acquire severe cell cycle defects. Additionally, we provide evidence that OPA1 decline and impaired mitochondrial dynamics may contribute to age-related MuSC dysfunction. These findings reveal a fundamental role for OPA1 and mitochondrial dynamics in establishing the quiescent state and activation potential of adult stem cells.

Project description:Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) play an important role in regulating adipose tissue inflammation and metabolic homeostasis. Mitochondria are pivotal hubs for macrophage-mediated inflammation. Here, we observed a negative correlation between macrophage optic atrophy type 1 (OPA1) and obesity in both humans and mice. Myeloid OPA1-deficient mice were susceptible to obesity and related systemic insulin resistance, glucose dysregulation, and hepatic steatosis upon high-fat diet (HFD). This is due to the impairment of M2-like macrophage features and the promotion of pro-inflammatory phenotypes. Mechanically, OPA1 loss resulted in metabolic reprogramming, as evidenced by reduced mitochondrial respiration, increased glycolysis, and elevated mtDNA release. This activated the cGAS-STING-IRF7 pathway in M2 macrophages, inducing anti-inflammatory conversion to a pro-inflammatory state. In contrast, myeloid OPA1 transgenic mice exhibited reduced inflammation and obesity. Collectively, we identified macrophage OPA1 as a novel regulator of immune metabolism. Targeting OPA1 may represent an effective therapeutic strategy against obesity and metabolic disorders.

Project description:NP cells of the intervertebral disc and articular chondrocytes reside in avascular and hypoxic tissue niches. As a consequence of these environmental constraints the cells are primarily glycolytic in nature and were long thought to have a minimal reliance on mitochondrial function. Recent studies have challenged this long-held view and highlighted the increasingly important role of mitochondria in the physiology of these tissues. However, the foundational understanding of mechanisms governing mitochondrial dynamics and function in these tissues is lacking. We investigated the role of mitochondrial fusion protein OPA1 in maintaining the spine and knee joint health in mice. OPA1 knockdown in NP cells altered mitochondrial size and cristae shape and increased the oxygen consumption rate without affecting ATP synthesis. OPA1 governed the morphology of multiple organelles, including peroxisomes, early endosomes and cis-Golgi and its loss resulted in the dysregulation of NP cell autophagy. Metabolic profiling and 13C-flux analyses revealed TCA cycle anaplerosis and altered metabolism in OPA1-deficient NP cells. Noteworthy, Opa1AcanCreERT2 mice with Opa1 deletion in disc and cartilage showed age-dependent disc degeneration, osteoarthritis, and vertebral osteopenia. Our findings underscore that OPA1 regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and multi-organelle interactions is critical in preserving metabolic homeostasis of disc and cartilage.

Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunctions are detrimental to organ metabolism. The cornea, transparent outmost layer of the eye, is prone to environmental aggressions, such as UV light, and therefore dependent on adequate mitochondrial function. While several reports have linked corneal defects to mitochondrial dysfunction, the impact of OPA1 mutation, known to induce such dysfunction, has never been studied in this context. We used the mouse line carrying OPA1delTTAG mutation to investigate its impact on corneal biology. To our surprise, neither the tear film composition nor the corneal epithelial transcriptomic signature were altered upon OPA1 mutation. However, when analyzing the corneal innervation, we discovered an undersensitivity of the cornea upon the mutation, but an increased innervation volume at 3 months. Furthermore, the fibre identity changed with a decrease of the SP+ axons. Finally, we demonstrated that the innervation regeneration was less efficient and less functional in OPA1+/- corneas. Altogether, our study describes the resilience of the corneal epithelial biology, reflecting the mitohormesis induced by the OPA1 mutation, and the adaptation of the corneal innervation to maintain its functionality despite its morphogenesis defects. These findings will participate to a better understanding of the mitochondrial dysfunction on peripheral innervation.

Project description:Mitochondrial fusion and fission accompany adaptive responses to stress and altered metabolic demands. Inner membrane fusion and cristae morphogenesis depends on Optic Atrophy 1 (Opa1), which is expressed in different isoforms and is cleaved from a membrane-bound, long to a soluble, short form. Here, we have analyzed the physiological role of Opa1 isoforms and Opa1 processing by generating mouse lines expressing only one cleavable Opa1 isoform or a non-cleavable variant thereof. Our results show that expression of a single cleavable or non-cleavable Opa1 isoform preserves embryonic development and the health of adult mice. Opa1 processing is dispensable under metabolic and thermal stress, but prolongs lifespan and protects against mitochondrial cardiomyopathy in OXPHOS-deficient Cox10-/- mice. Mechanistically, loss of Opa1 processing disturbs the balance between mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy, suppressing cardiac hypertrophic growth in Cox10-/- hearts. Our results highlight the critical regulatory role of Opa1 processing, mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism for cardiac hypertrophy.
