PINK1-PRKN/PARK2 pathway of mitophagy is activated to protect against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

ABSTRACT: Damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria are toxic to the cell by producing reactive oxygen species and releasing cell death factors. Therefore, timely removal of these organelles is critical to cellular homeostasis and viability. Mitophagy is the mechanism of selective degradation of mitochondria via autophagy. The significance of mitophagy in kidney diseases, including ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI), has yet to be established, and the involved pathway of mitophagy remains poorly understood. Here, we show that mitophagy is induced in renal proximal tubular cells in both in vitro and in vivo models of ischemic AKI. Mitophagy under these conditions is abrogated by Pink1 and Park2 deficiency, supporting a critical role of the PINK1-PARK2 pathway in tubular cell mitophagy. Moreover, ischemic AKI is aggravated in pink1 andpark2 single- as well as double-knockout mice. Mechanistically, Pink1 and Park2 deficiency enhances mitochondrial damage, reactive oxygen species production, and inflammatory response. Taken together, these results indicate that PINK1-PARK2-mediated mitophagy plays an important role in mitochondrial quality control, tubular cell survival, and renal function during AKI.

Project description:Mitophagy, which is a conserved cellular process for selectively removing damaged or unwanted mitochondria, is critical for mitochondrial quality control and the maintenance of normal cellular physiology. However, the precise mechanisms underlying mitophagy remain largely unknown. Prior studies on mitophagy focused on the events in the mitochondrial outer membrane. PHB2 (prohibitin 2), which is a highly conserved membrane scaffold protein, was recently identified as a novel inner membrane mitophagy receptor that mediates mitophagy. Here, we report a new signaling pathway for PHB2-mediated mitophagy. Upon mitochondrial membrane depolarization or misfolded protein aggregation, PHB2 depletion destabilizes PINK1 in the mitochondria, which blocks the mitochondrial recruitment of PRKN/Parkin, ubiquitin and OPTN (optineurin), leading to an inhibition of mitophagy. In addition, PHB2 overexpression directly induces PRKN recruitment to the mitochondria. Moreover, PHB2-mediated mitophagy is dependent on the mitochondrial inner membrane protease PARL, which interacts with PHB2 and is activated upon PHB2 depletion. Furthermore, PGAM5, which is processed by PARL, participates in PHB2-mediated PINK1 stabilization. Finally, a ligand of PHB proteins that we synthesized, called FL3, was found to strongly inhibit PHB2-mediated mitophagy and to effectively block cancer cell growth and energy production at nanomolar concentrations. Thus, our findings reveal that the PHB2-PARL-PGAM5-PINK1 axis is a novel pathway of PHB2-mediated mitophagy and that targeting PHB2 with the chemical compound FL3 is a promising strategy for cancer therapy.Abbreviations: AIFM1: apoptosis inducing factor mitochondria associated 1; ATP5F1A/ATP5A1: ATP synthase F1 subunit alpha; BAF: bafilomycin A1; CALCOCO2/NDP52: calcium binding and coiled-coil domain 2; CCCP: chemical reagent carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazine; FL3: flavaglines compound 3; HSPD1/HSP60: heat shock protein family D (Hsp60) member 1; LC3B/MAP1LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MEF: mouse embryo fibroblasts; MPP: mitochondrial-processing peptidase; MT-CO2/COX2: mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II; MTS: mitochondrial targeting sequence; OA: oligomycin and antimycin A; OPTN: optineurin; OTC: ornithine carbamoyltransferase; PARL: presenilin associated rhomboid like; PBS: phosphate-buffered saline; PGAM5: PGAM family member 5, mitochondrial serine/threonine protein phosphatase; PHB: prohibitin; PHB2: prohibitin 2; PINK1: PTEN induced kinase 1; PRKN/Parkin: parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; Roc-A: rocaglamide A; TOMM20: translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20; TUBB: tubulin beta class I.
