Bnip3 impairs mitochondrial bioenergetics and stimulates mitochondrial turnover.

ABSTRACT: Bnip3 (Bcl-2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa-interacting protein 3) is a mitochondrial BH3-only protein that contributes to cell death through activation of the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Bnip3 is also known to induce autophagy, but the functional role of autophagy is unclear. In this study, we investigated the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and upregulation of autophagy in response to Bnip3 in cells lacking Bax and Bak. We found that Bnip3 induced mitochondrial autophagy in the absence of mitochondrial membrane permeabilization and Bax/Bak. Also, co-immunoprecipitation experiments showed that Bnip3 interacted with the autophagy protein LC3 (microtubule-associated protein light chain 3). Although Bax-/Bak-deficient cells were resistant to Bnip3-mediated cell death, inhibition of mitochondrial autophagy induced necrotic cell death. When investigating why these mitochondria had to be removed by autophagy, we discovered that Bnip3 reduced both nuclear- and mitochondria-encoded proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation. Interestingly, Bnip3 had no effect on other mitochondrial proteins, such as Tom20 and MnSOD, or actin and tubulin in the cytosol. Bnip3 did not seem to reduce transcription or translation of these proteins. However, we found that Bnip3 caused an increase in mitochondrial protease activity, suggesting that Bnip3 might promote degradation of proteins in the mitochondria. Thus, Bnip3-mediated impairment of mitochondrial respiration induces mitochondrial turnover by activating mitochondrial autophagy.

The ER membrane protein complex restricts mitophagy by controlling BNIP3 turnover.

Project description:Lysosomal degradation of autophagy receptors is a common proxy for selective autophagy. However, we find that two established mitophagy receptors, BNIP3 and BNIP3L/NIX, are constitutively delivered to lysosomes in an autophagy-independent manner. This alternative lysosomal delivery of BNIP3 accounts for nearly all its lysosome-mediated degradation, even upon mitophagy induction. To identify how BNIP3, a tail-anchored protein in the outer mitochondrial membrane, is delivered to lysosomes, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR screen for factors influencing BNIP3 flux. This screen revealed both known modifiers of BNIP3 stability as well as a pronounced reliance on endolysosomal components, including the ER membrane protein complex (EMC). Importantly, the endolysosomal system and the ubiquitin-proteosome system regulated BNIP3 independently. Perturbation of either mechanism is sufficient to modulate BNIP3-associated mitophagy and affect underlying cellular physiology. More broadly, these findings extend recent models for tail-anchored protein quality control and install endosomal trafficking and lysosomal degradation in the canon of pathways that tightly regulate endogenous tail-anchored protein localization.

Redox Equivalents and Mitochondrial Bioenergetics.

Project description:Mitochondrial energy metabolism depends upon high-flux and low-flux electron transfer pathways. The former provide the energy to support chemiosmotic coupling for oxidative phosphorylation. The latter provide mechanisms for signaling and control of mitochondrial functions. Few practical methods are available to measure rates of individual mitochondrial electron transfer reactions; however, a number of approaches are available to measure steady-state redox potentials (E h) of donor/acceptor couples, and these can be used to gain insight into rate controlling reactions as well as mitochondrial bioenergetics. Redox changes within the respiratory electron transfer pathway are quantified by optical spectroscopy and measurement of changes in autofluorescence. Low-flux pathways involving thiol/disulfide redox couples are measured by redox Western blot and mass spectrometry-based redox proteomics. Together, the approaches provide the opportunity to develop integrated systems biology descriptions of mitochondrial redox signaling and control mechanisms.

ATP13A2 regulates mitochondrial bioenergetics through macroautophagy.

Project description:Mitochondrial dysfunction and autophagy are centrally implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD). Mutations in ATP13A2, which encodes a lysosomal P-type ATPase of unknown function, cause a rare, autosomal recessive parkinsonian syndrome. Lysosomes are essential for autophagy, and autophagic clearance of dysfunctional mitochondria represents an important element of mitochondrial quality control. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that loss of ATP13A2 function will affect mitochondrial function. Knockdown of ATP13A2 led to an increase in mitochondrial mass in primary mouse cortical neurons and in SH-SY5Y cells forced into mitochondrial dependence. ATP13A2-deficient cells exhibited increased oxygen consumption without a significant change in steady-state levels of ATP. Mitochondria in knockdown cells exhibited increased fragmentation and increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Basal levels of the autophagosome marker LC3-II were not significantly changed, however, ATP13A2 knockdown cells exhibited decreased autophagic flux, associated with increased levels of phospho-mTOR, and resistance to autophagy induction by rapamycin. The effects of ATP13A2 siRNA on oxygen consumption, mitochondrial mass and ROS production could be mimicked by inhibiting autophagy induction using siRNA to Atg7. We propose that decreased autophagy associated with ATP13A2 deficiency affects mitochondrial quality control, resulting in increased ROS production. These data are the first to implicate loss of ATP13A2 function in mitochondrial maintenance and oxidative stress, lending further support to converging genetic and environmental evidence for mitochondrial dysregulation in PD pathogenesis.

Mitochondrial Bioenergetics and Dynamics in Secretion Processes.

Project description:Secretion is an energy consuming process that plays a relevant role in cell communication and adaptation to the environment. Among others, endocrine cells producing hormones, immune cells producing cytokines or antibodies, neurons releasing neurotransmitters at synapsis, and more recently acknowledged, senescent cells synthesizing and secreting multiple cytokines, growth factors and proteases, require energy to successfully accomplish the different stages of the secretion process. Calcium ions (Ca2+) act as second messengers regulating secretion in many of these cases. In this setting, mitochondria appear as key players providing ATP by oxidative phosphorylation, buffering Ca2+ concentrations and acting as structural platforms. These tasks also require the concerted actions of the mitochondrial dynamics machinery. These proteins mediate mitochondrial fusion and fission, and are also required for transport and tethering of mitochondria to cellular organelles where the different steps of the secretion process take place. Herein we present a brief overview of mitochondrial energy metabolism, mitochondrial dynamics, and the different steps of the secretion processes, along with evidence of the interaction between these pathways. We also analyze the role of mitochondria in secretion by different cell types in physiological and pathological settings.

Bioenergetics Consequences of Mitochondrial Transplantation in Cardiomyocytes.

Project description:Background Mitochondrial transplantation has been recently explored for treatment of very ill cardiac patients. However, little is known about the intracellular consequences of mitochondrial transplantation. This study aims to assess the bioenergetics consequences of mitochondrial transplantation into normal cardiomyocytes in the short and long term. Methods and Results We first established the feasibility of autologous, non-autologous, and interspecies mitochondrial transplantation. Then we quantitated the bioenergetics consequences of non-autologous mitochondrial transplantation into cardiomyocytes up to 28 days using a Seahorse Extracellular Flux Analyzer. Compared with the control, we observed a statistically significant improvement in basal respiration and ATP production 2-day post-transplantation, accompanied by an increase in maximal respiration and spare respiratory capacity, although not statistically significantly. However, these initial improvements were short-lived and the bioenergetics advantages return to the baseline level in subsequent time points. Conclusions This study, for the first time, shows that transplantation of non-autologous mitochondria from healthy skeletal muscle cells into normal cardiomyocytes leads to short-term improvement of bioenergetics indicating "supercharged" state. However, over time these improved effects disappear, which suggests transplantation of mitochondria may have a potential application in settings where there is an acute stress.

Modeling mitochondrial bioenergetics with integrated volume dynamics.

Project description:Mathematical models of mitochondrial bioenergetics provide powerful analytical tools to help interpret experimental data and facilitate experimental design for elucidating the supporting biochemical and physical processes. As a next step towards constructing a complete physiologically faithful mitochondrial bioenergetics model, a mathematical model was developed targeting the cardiac mitochondrial bioenergetic based upon previous efforts, and corroborated using both transient and steady state data. The model consists of several modified rate functions of mitochondrial bioenergetics, integrated calcium dynamics and a detailed description of the K(+)-cycle and its effect on mitochondrial bioenergetics and matrix volume regulation. Model simulations were used to fit 42 adjustable parameters to four independent experimental data sets consisting of 32 data curves. During the model development, a certain network topology had to be in place and some assumptions about uncertain or unobserved experimental factors and conditions were explicitly constrained in order to faithfully reproduce all the data sets. These realizations are discussed, and their necessity helps contribute to the collective understanding of the mitochondrial bioenergetics.

IGF-1 Signalling Regulates Mitochondria Dynamics and Turnover through a Conserved GSK-3β-Nrf2-BNIP3 Pathway.

Project description:The Insulin-like Growth Factor I (IGF-1) signalling pathway is essential for cell growth and facilitates tumourogenic processes. We recently reported that IGF-1 induces a transcriptional programme for mitochondrial biogenesis, while also inducing expression of the mitophagy receptor BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19 kDa protein-interacting protein 3 (BNIP3), suggesting that IGF-1 has a key mitochondria-protective role in cancer cells. Here, we investigated this further and delineated the signaling pathway for BNIP3 induction. We established that IGF-1 induced BNIP3 expression through a known AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT)-mediated inhibitory phosphorylation on Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3β (GSK-3β), leading to activation of Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-related Factor 2 (NFE2L2/Nrf2) and acting through the downstream transcriptional regulators Nuclear Respiratory Factor-1 (NRF1) and Hypoxia-inducible Factor 1 subunit α (HIF-1α). Suppression of IGF-1 signaling, Nrf2 or BNIP3 caused the accumulation of elongated mitochondria and altered the mitochondrial dynamics. IGF-1R null Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs) were impaired in the BNIP3 expression and in the capacity to mount a cell survival response in response to serum deprivation or mitochondrial stress. IGF-1 signalling enhanced the cellular capacity to induce autophagosomal turnover in response to activation of either general autophagy or mitophagy. Overall, we conclude that IGF-1 mediated a mitochondria-protective signal that was coordinated through the cytoprotective transcription factor Nrf2. This pathway coupled mitochondrial biogenesis with BNIP3 induction, and increased the cellular capacity for autophagosome turnover, whilst enhancing survival under conditions of metabolic or mitochondrial stress.

Lipid droplet turnover at the lysosome inhibits growth of hepatocellular carcinoma in a BNIP3-dependent manner.

Project description:Hepatic steatosis is a major etiological factor in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but factors causing lipid accumulation leading to HCC are not understood. We identify BNIP3 (a mitochondrial cargo receptor) as an HCC suppressor that mitigates against lipid accumulation to attenuate tumor cell growth. Targeted deletion of Bnip3 decreased tumor latency and increased tumor burden in a mouse model of HCC. This was associated with increased lipid in bnip3-/- HCC at early stages of disease, while lipid did not accumulate until later in tumorigenesis in wild-type mice, as Bnip3 expression was attenuated. Low BNIP3 expression in human HCC similarly correlated with increased lipid content and worse prognosis than HCC expressing high BNIP3. BNIP3 suppressed HCC cell growth by promoting lipid droplet turnover at the lysosome in a manner dependent on BNIP3 binding LC3. We have termed this process "mitolipophagy" because it involves the coordinated autophagic degradation of lipid droplets with mitochondria.
