Mechanism of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy [RNA-seq]


ABSTRACT: Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by a polyglutamine expansion in the androgen receptor (AR). Previous studies have shown that transcriptional dysregulation and mitochondrial impairment occur in SBMA. We used gene-expression analysis and ChIP-sequencing to map transcriptional changes in SBMA induced pluripotent stem cell-derived motor neurons. The SBMA cells had decreased expression of genes encoding electron transport chain subunits and other metabolic proteins, associated with reduced histone acetylation which may be contributing to mitochondrial dysfunction. AR ChIP-sequencing results indicate that this is not a direct transcriptional effect of mutant AR on mitochondrial gene expression. Furthermore, we found decreased acetyl-CoA, and pyruvate supplementation to correct this deficiency improved mitochondrial function and SBMA motor neuron viability. We propose that epigenetic dysregulation of metabolic genes contributes to reduced mitochondrial ATP production. Our results show a molecular link between altered epigenetic regulation and mitochondrial metabolism that contributes to neurodegeneration.
