T-cell-restricted intracellular antigen 1 facilitates mitochondrial fragmentation by enhancing the expression of mitochondrial fission factor.

ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial morphology is dynamically regulated by the formation of small fragmented units or interconnected mitochondrial networks, and this dynamic morphological change is a pivotal process in normal mitochondrial function. In the present study, we identified a novel regulator responsible for the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics. An assay using CHANG liver cells stably expressing mitochondrial-targeted yellow fluorescent protein (mtYFP) and a group of siRNAs revealed that T-cell intracellular antigen protein-1 (TIA-1) affects mitochondrial morphology by enhancing mitochondrial fission. The function of TIA-1 in mitochondrial dynamics was investigated through various biological approaches and expression analysis in human specimen. Downregulation of TIA-1-enhanced mitochondrial elongation, whereas ectopic expression of TIA-1 resulted in mitochondria fragmentation. In addition, TIA-1 increased mitochondrial activity, including the rate of ATP synthesis and oxygen consumption. Further, we identified mitochondrial fission factor (MFF) as a direct target of TIA-1, and showed that TIA-1 promotes mitochondrial fragmentation by enhancing MFF translation. TIA-1 null cells had a decreased level of MFF and less mitochondrial Drp1, a critical factor for mitochondrial fragmentation, thereby enhancing mitochondrial elongation. Taken together, our results indicate that TIA-1 is a novel factor that facilitates mitochondrial dynamics by enhancing MFF expression and contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction.

Project description:ObjectiveWe explored mechanisms that alter mitochondrial structure and function in pulmonary endothelial cells (PEC) function after hyperoxia.Approach and resultsMitochondrial structures of PECs exposed to hyperoxia or normoxia were visualized and mitochondrial fragmentation quantified. Expression of pro-fission or fusion proteins or autophagy-related proteins were assessed by Western blot. Mitochondrial oxidative state was determined using mito-roGFP. Tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester estimated mitochondrial polarization in treatment groups. The role of mitochondrially derived reactive oxygen species in mt-fragmentation was investigated with mito-TEMPOL and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage studied by using ENDO III (mt-tat-endonuclease III), a protein that repairs mDNA damage. Drp-1 (dynamin-related protein 1) was overexpressed or silenced to test the role of this protein in cell survival or transwell resistance. Hyperoxia increased fragmentation of PEC mitochondria in a time-dependent manner through 48 hours of exposure. Hyperoxic PECs exhibited increased phosphorylation of Drp-1 (serine 616), decreases in Mfn1 (mitofusion protein 1), but increases in OPA-1 (optic atrophy 1). Pro-autophagy proteins p62 (LC3 adapter-binding protein SQSTM1/p62), PINK-1 (PTEN-induced putative kinase 1), and LC3B (microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3) were increased. Returning cells to normoxia for 24 hours reversed the increased mt-fragmentation and changes in expression of pro-fission proteins. Hyperoxia-induced changes in mitochondrial structure or cell survival were mitigated by antioxidants mito-TEMPOL, Drp-1 silencing, or inhibition or protection by the mitochondrial endonuclease ENDO III. Hyperoxia induced oxidation and mitochondrial depolarization and impaired transwell resistance. Decrease in resistance was mitigated by mito-TEMPOL or ENDO III and reproduced by overexpression of Drp-1.ConclusionsBecause hyperoxia evoked mt-fragmentation, cell survival and transwell resistance are prevented by ENDO III and mito-TEMPOL and Drp-1 silencing, and these data link hyperoxia-induced mt-DNA damage, Drp-1 expression, mt-fragmentation, and PEC dysfunction.
