Sirtuin regulation of mitochondria: energy production, apoptosis, and signaling.

ABSTRACT: Sirtuins are a highly conserved family of proteins whose activity can prolong the lifespan of model organisms such as yeast, worms and flies. Mammals contain seven sirtuins (SIRT1-7) that modulate distinct metabolic and stress response pathways. Three sirtuins, SIRT3, SIRT4 and SIRT5, are located in the mitochondria, dynamic organelles that function as the primary site of oxidative metabolism and play crucial roles in apoptosis and intracellular signaling. Recent findings have shed light on how the mitochondrial sirtuins function in the control of basic mitochondrial biology, including energy production, metabolism, apoptosis and intracellular signaling.

Project description:Cancer cells and ischemic diseases exhibit unique metabolic responses and adaptations to energy stress. Forkhead box O 3a (FoxO3a) is a transcription factor that plays an important role in cell metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress response. Although the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/FoxO3a signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in maintaining energy homeostasis under conditions of energy stress, the role of AMPK/FoxO3a signaling in mitochondria-associated ferroptosis has not yet been fully elucidated. We show that glucose starvation induced AMPK/FoxO3a activation and inhibited ferroptosis induced by erastin. Inhibition of AMPK or loss of FoxO3a in cancer cells under the glucose starvation condition can sensitize these cells to ferroptosis. Glucose deprivation inhibited mitochondria-related gene expression, reduced mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) copy number, decreased expression of mitochondrial proteins and lowered the levels of respiratory complexes by inducing FoxO3a. Loss of FoxO3a promoted mitochondrial membrane potential hyperpolarization, oxygen consumption, lipid peroxide accumulation and abolished the protective effects of energy stress on ferroptosis in vitro. In addition, we identified a FDA-approved antipsychotic agent, the potent FoxO3a agonist trifluoperazine, which largely reduced ferroptosis-associated cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CIR) injuries in rats through AMPK/FoxO3a/HIF-1α signaling and mitochondria-dependent mechanisms. We found that FoxO3a binds to the promoters of SLC7A11 and reduces CIR-mediated glutamate excitotoxicity through inhibiting the expression of SLC7A11. Collectively, these results suggest that energy stress modulation of AMPK/FoxO3a signaling regulates mitochondrial activity and alters the ferroptosis response. The regulation of FoxO3a by AMPK may play a crucial role in mitochondrial gene expression that controls energy balance and confers resistance to mitochondria-associated ferroptosis and CIR injuries.
