Propofol induces a metabolic switch to glycolysis and cell death in a mitochondrial electron transport chain-dependent manner.

ABSTRACT: The intravenous anesthetic propofol (2,6-diisopropylphenol) has been used for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia and sedation in critical patient care. However, the rare but severe complication propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS) can occur, especially in patients receiving high doses of propofol for prolonged periods. In vivo and in vitro evidence suggests that the propofol toxicity is related to the impaired mitochondrial function. However, underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Therefore, we investigated effects of propofol on cell metabolism and death using a series of established cell lines of various origins, including neurons, myocytes, and trans-mitochondrial cybrids, with defined mitochondrial DNA deficits. We demonstrated that supraclinical concentrations of propofol in not less than 50 μM disturbed the mitochondrial function and induced a metabolic switch, from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis, by targeting mitochondrial complexes I, II and III. This disturbance in mitochondrial electron transport caused the generation of reactive oxygen species, resulting in apoptosis. We also found that a predisposition to mitochondrial dysfunction, caused by a genetic mutation or pharmacological suppression of the electron transport chain by biguanides such as metformin and phenformin, promoted propofol-induced caspase activation and cell death induced by clinical relevant concentrations of propofol in not more than 25 μM. With further experiments with appropriate in vivo model, it is possible that the processes to constitute the molecular basis of PRIS are identified.

Vanadium Dioxide Nanocoating Induces Tumor Cell Death through Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain Interruption.

Project description:A biomaterials surface enabling the induction of tumor cell death is particularly desirable for implantable biomedical devices that directly contact tumor tissues. However, this specific antitumor feature is rarely found. Consequently, an antitumor-cell nanocoating comprised of vanadium dioxide (VO2) prepared by customized reactive magnetron sputtering has been proposed, and its antitumor-growth capability has been demonstrated using human cholangiocarcinoma cells. The results reveal that the VO2 nanocoating is able to interrupt the mitochondrial electron transport chain and then elevate the intracellular reactive oxygen species levels, leading to the collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential and the destruction of cell redox homeostasis. Indeed, this chain reaction can effectively trigger oxidative damage in the cholangiocarcinoma cells. Additionally, this study has provided new insights into designing a tumor-cell-inhibited biomaterial surface, which is modulated by the mechanism of mitochondria-targeting tumor cell death.

Rewiring the Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain Enhances Tumor Immunogenicity

Project description:Although tumor growth requires the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), the relative contribution of Complex I (CI) and II (CII), the gatekeepers for initiating electron flow, remains unclear. Here, we report that loss of CII, but not CI, reduces melanoma tumor growth by increasing antigen presentation and T cell-mediated killing. This is driven by succinate-mediated transcriptional and epigenetic activation of major histocompatibility complex I-antigen processing and presentation (MHC-APP) genes that is independent of interferon signaling. Furthermore, knock-out of MCJ, to promote electron entry preferentially via CI, provides proof-of-concept of ETC rewiring to achieve anti-tumor responses without side effects associated with an overall reduction in mitochondrial respiration in non-cancer cells. Our results hold therapeutic potential for tumors that have reduced MHC-APP expression, a common mechanism of cancer immunoevasion.

AKT1 phosphorylation of cytoplasmic ME2 induces a metabolic switch to glycolysis for tumorigenesis.

Project description:Many types of tumors feature aerobic glycolysis for meeting their increased energetic and biosynthetic demands. However, it remains still unclear how this glycolytic phenomenon is achieved and coordinated with other metabolic pathways in tumor cells in response to growth stimuli. Here we report that activation of AKT1 induces a metabolic switch to glycolysis from the mitochondrial metabolism via phosphorylation of cytoplasmic malic enzyme 2 (ME2), named ME2fl (fl means full length), favoring an enhanced glycolytic phenotype. Mechanistically, in the cytoplasm, AKT1 phosphorylates ME2fl at serine 9 in the mitochondrial localization signal peptide at the N-terminus, preventing its mitochondrial translocation. Unlike mitochondrial ME2, which accounts for adjusting the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, ME2fl functions as a scaffold that brings together the key glycolytic enzymes phosphofructokinase (PFKL), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), as well as Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), to promote glycolysis in the cytosol. Thus, through phosphorylation of ME2fl, AKT1 enhances the glycolytic capacity of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, revealing an unexpected role for subcellular translocation switching of ME2 mediated by AKT1 in the metabolic adaptation of tumor cells to growth stimuli.

Mitochondrial electron transport chain is necessary for NLRP3 inflammasome activation

Project description:The NLRP3 inflammasome is linked to sterile and pathogen-dependent inflammation, and its dysregulation underlies many chronic diseases. Mitochondria have been implicated as regulators of NLRP3 inflammasome through multiple mechanisms including generation of mitochondrial ROS. Here we report that mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) complexes I, II, III and V inhibitors all prevent NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Ectopic expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NADH dehydrogenase (NDI1) or Ciona intestinalis alternative oxidase (AOX), which can respectively complement the functional loss of mitochondrial complex I or III, without generation of ROS, rescued NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the absence of endogenous mitochondrial complex I or complex III function. Metabolomics revealed phosphocreatine (PCr), which can sustain ATP levels, as a common metabolite that is diminished by mitochondrial ETC inhibitors. PCr depletion decreased ATP levels and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Thus, mitochondrial ETC sustains NLRP3 inflammasome activation through PCr-dependent generation of ATP but a ROS independent mechanism.

Soluble ST2 induces cardiac contractile dysfunction by repressing mitochondrial electron transport chain genes in cardiomyocytes during fulminant myocarditis

Project description:Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is an acute fatal disease characterised by myocardial inflammation. Our previous study identified soluble growth stimulation- expressed gene 2 (sST2) as a sensitive and specific biomarker for early diagnosis of FM. However, its function in FM remains unclear.In the present study, we observed a marked elevation of sST2 in the plasma and hearts of mice with FM induced by coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) and explored the main cellular sources of sST2 in FM. Moreover, using recombinant sST2 protein administration and unbiased transcriptomics analyses, we investigated the role and underlying mechanisms of sST2 in FM. Importantly, we found that sST2 has a novel non-classical function in cardiomyocytes, other than acting as an IL-33 decoy receptor. These findings reveal a novel role and action mechanism of sST2 in FM and suggest that sST2 may be a potential therapeutic target for FM.

Targeting Electron Transport Chain Confers Therapeutic Vulnerability in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Project description:Most prostate cancer will develop into castration-resistant prostate cancer, which is the most frequent cause of death for prostate cancer patients. Despite novel androgen receptor antagonists have significantly improved clinical outcomes for these patients, some patients still could not benefit from existing treatment regimens. By analyzing the single-cell RNA-sequencing data and bulk-sequencing data, we discovered that oxidative phosphorylation and electron transport chain (ETC) pathway were enhanced in the prostate cancer microenvironment following tumor progression. Meanwhile, high ETC was related to poor clinical outcomes in prostate cancer patients. Both in vitro and in vivo castration-resistant prostate cancer models demonstrated that ETC inhibitor marked suppressed tumor growth and the synergistic antitumor efficacy of the combination of ETC inhibitor and androgen receptor antagonist. Our study indicates that ETC activity is a metabolic vulnerability for advanced prostate cancer and can serve as a novel therapeutic target.

Proteome Imbalance of Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain in Brown Adipocytes Leads to Metabolic Benefits.

Project description:Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis is critical for thermoregulation and contributes to total energy expenditure. However, whether BAT has non-thermogenic functions is largely unknown. Here, we describe that BAT-specific liver kinase b1 knockout (Lkb1BKO) mice exhibited impaired BAT mitochondrial respiration and thermogenesis but reduced adiposity and liver triglyceride accumulation under high-fat-diet feeding at room temperature. Importantly, these metabolic benefits were also present in Lkb1BKO mice at thermoneutrality, where BAT thermogenesis was not required. Mechanistically, decreased mRNA levels of mtDNA-encoded electron transport chain (ETC) subunits and ETC proteome imbalance led to defective BAT mitochondrial respiration in Lkb1BKO mice. Furthermore, reducing mtDNA gene expression directly in BAT by removing mitochondrial transcription factor A (Tfam) in BAT also showed ETC proteome imbalance and the trade-off between BAT thermogenesis and systemic metabolism at room temperature and thermoneutrality. Collectively, our data demonstrate that ETC proteome imbalance in BAT regulates systemic metabolism independently of thermogenesis.

Inhibition of the mitochondrial electron transport chain by antimycin A in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Plant mitochondria signal to the nucleus leading to altered transcription of nuclear genes by a process called mitochondrial retrograde regulation (MRR). MRR is implicated in metabolic homeostasis and responses to stress conditions. Transcriptional consequences on nuclear gene expression of mitochondrial perturbations were examined by a microarray analyses. Expression of 1316 was altered by antimycin A (AA) inhibition of the cytochrome respiratory pathway in leaves of soil grown Arabidopsis plants in the dark for 6 hours. Functional gene category (MapMan) and cluster analyses showed that genes with expression levels affected by perturbation from AA or MFA inhibition were most similarly affected by biotic stresses such as pathogens, not oxidative stresses. Overall, the data provide further evidence for the presence of mtROS-independent MRR signaling, and support the proposed involvement of MRR and mitochondrial function in plant responses to biotic stress. Three independent (bio-replicate) experiments were done using three independent plant samples and independent chemicals in the treatments. For each, approximately 30 plants were used for the treated sample and about 30 plants were used as the control treated sample. Plants were treated with 20 uM antimycin A in 0.01% Tween 20 and incubated in the dark at room temperature (25C) for 6 hours. RNA was isolated from the inhibitor treated and control treated plants and used for microarray experiments. For each independent (bio-replicate) experiment, two microarrays were utilized using Cy3 and Cy5 dye-labeled samples and dye swapping was incorporated- so, minimum of 2 microarrays for each of 3 independent experiments (6 microarrays). In addition, two of the microarrays were duplicated so that a total of 8 slides were used in the data analyses.
