Ca2+ channels couple spiking to mitochondrial metabolism in substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons

ABSTRACT: How do neurons match generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by mitochondria to the bioenergetic demands of regenerative activity? Although the subject of speculation, this coupling is still poorly understood, particularly in neurons that are tonically active. To help fill this gap, pacemaking substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons were studied using a combination of optical, electrophysiological and molecular approaches. In these neurons, spike-activated calcium (Ca2+) entry through Cav1 channels triggered Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum, which stimulated mitochondrial OXPHOS through two complementary Ca2+-dependent mechanisms: one mediated by the mitochondrial uniporter and another by the malate-aspartate shuttle. Disrupting either mechanism impaired the ability of dopaminergic neurons to sustain spike activity. While this feedforward control helps dopaminergic neurons meet the bioenergetic demands associated with sustained spiking, it also is responsible for their elevated oxidant stress and possibly to their decline with aging and disease.

Mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex controls T-cell-mediated immune responses

Project description:Sustained and balanced Ca2+ increase upon T-cell receptor activation is crucial for regulation of essential T-cell functions including clonal expansion, differentiation and cytokine secretion. Thereby, mitochondria play an important role and take up Ca2+ to support elevated bioenergetic demands. The protein machinery that regulates Ca2+ flux across the inner mitochondrial membrane; the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) complex, could be thus implicated in T-cell immunity. However, the exact role of mitochondrial Ca2+, and hence, MCU in T-cells is not fully understood. Here, we provide proteomic data of downregulation of MCUa in rat CD4+ T-cells along with control T-cells.

Mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex controls T-cell-mediated immune responses

Project description:T-cell receptor-induced Ca2+ signals are essential for proper T-cell activation and function. In this context, mitochondria play an important role and take up Ca2+ to support elevated bioenergetic demands. The protein machinery that regulates mitochondrial Ca2+ (mCa2+) uptake; the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) complex, could be thus implicated in T-cell immunity. However, the exact role of MCU in T-cells is not understood. Here, we show that upon activation of naïve T-cells, the MCU complex undergoes a compositional rearrangement that causes elevated mCa2+ uptake and increased bioenergetic output. Transcriptome and proteome analyses reveal molecular determinants involved in mitochondrial functional reprograming and identify signaling pathways controlled by MCU. MCUa knockdown diminishes mCa2+ uptake, mitochondrial respiration and ATP production as well as T-cell invasion and cytokine secretion. In vivo, downregulation of MCUa in rat CD4+ T-cells suppresses autoimmune responses in a multiple sclerosis model of inflammatory experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. In summary, Ca2+ uptake through MCU is essential for proper T-cell function and is involved in autoimmunity. T-cell specific MCU inhibition is a potential tool for treating autoimmune disorders.

Mitochondrial calcium uniporter complex controls T‑cell‑mediated immune responses

Project description:Sustained and balanced calcium (Ca2+) increase upon T-cell receptor activation is a fundamental process that regulates essential T-cell functions including proliferation, clonal expansion and cytokine secretion. In this context, mitochondria play an important role and take up Ca2+ to support the elevated bioenergetic demands. Accordingly, alterations in the protein machinery that regulates mitochondrial Ca2+ (mCa2+) flux across the inner mitochondrial membrane; the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) complex, could be implicated in T-cell immunity. However, the exact role of mCa2+, and thus MCU in T-cells is not fully understood. Here, we show that upon activation of primary human CD4+ T-cells, the MCU complex undergoes a time-dependent compositional rearrangement that causes elevated mCa2+ uptake and increased mitochondrial bioenergetic output. Transcriptome and proteome analyses of naive and effector CD4+ T-cells reveal molecular determinants involved in mitochondrial and T-cell functional reprograming. Moreover, they identify genes, proteins and signaling pathways controlled by mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis i.e. the MCU. MCUa knockdown (KD) diminishes mCa2+, mitochondrial respiration and ATP production as well as T-cell invasion and cytokine secretion. In vivo, downregulation of MCUa in rat CD4+ T-cells suppresses autoimmune responses in a multiple sclerosis model of inflammatory experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In summary, our findings imply that mCa2+ uptake through MCU is essential for proper T-cell function and is involved in autoimmunity. Specific MCU inhibitors targeting T-cells could be beneficial for autoimmune suppression and control of immune system dysregulation.

Synuclein pathology disrupts mitochondrial function in dopaminergic and cholinergic neurons at-risk in Parkinson’s disease

Project description:Background: Pathological accumulation of aggregated α-synuclein (aSYN) is a common feature of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the mechanisms by which intracellular aSYN pathology contributes to dysfunction and degeneration of neurons in the brain are still unclear. A potentially relevant target of aSYN is the mitochondrion. To test this hypothesis, genetic and physiological methods were used to monitor mitochondrial function in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopaminergic and pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) cholinergic neurons after stereotaxic injection of aSYN pre-formed fibrils (PFFs) into the mouse brain. Methods: aSYN PPFs were stereotaxically injected into the SNc or PPN of mice. Twelve weeks later, mice were studied using a combination of approaches, including immunocytochemical analysis, cell-type specific transcriptomic profiling, electron microscopy, electrophysiology and two-photon-laser-scanning microscopy of genetically encoded sensors for bioenergetic and redox status. Results: In addition to inducing a significant neuronal loss, SNc injection of PFFs induced the formation of intracellular, phosphorylated aSYN aggregates selectively in dopaminergic neurons. In these neurons, PFF-exposure decreased mitochondrial gene expression, reduced the number of mitochondria, increased oxidant stress, and profoundly disrupted mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate production. Consistent with an aSYN-induced bioenergetic deficit, the autonomous spiking of dopaminergic neurons slowed or stopped. PFFs also up-regulated lysosomal gene expression and increased lysosomal abundance, leading to the formation of Lewy-like inclusions. Similar changes were observed in PPN cholinergic neurons following aSYN PFF exposure. Conclusions: Taken together, our findings suggest that disruption of mitochondrial function is a proximal step in the cascade of events induced by aSYN pathology leading to dysfunction and degeneration of neurons at-risk in PD.

Quantitative proteomic and single-nucleus transcriptomics map of the sinus node elucidates the foundation of cardiac pacemaking

Project description:The sinus node is a collection of highly specialised cells constituting the heart’s pacemaker. It is keenly debated whether the so-called membrane or alternatively Ca2+ clocks provide the molecular substrate of pacemaking. By high-resolution mass spectrometry, we quantified >7,000 proteins from sinus node and neighbouring atrial muscle. The abundances of 575 proteins differed between the two tissues, including particular differences in metabolic profiles and extracellular matrix composition. Most notably, the data reveal significant differences between the tissues in the ion channels responsible for the membrane clock, but not in Ca2+ clock proteins, suggesting that the membrane clock underpins pacemaking. By performing single-nucleus RNA sequencing of sinus node biopsies, we attributed protein abundances to specific cell types. Consistent with these results, incorporation of the ion channel expression differences into a biophysically-detailed atrial action potential model resulted in pacemaking and a sinus node-like action potential. Combining our quantitative proteomics data with computational modeling, we estimate ion channel copy numbers for sinus node myocytes. Our findings provide detailed insights into the unique molecular make-up of the pacemaker of the heart.

The Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter controls skeletal muscle mass in vivo

Project description:Muscle atrophy contributes to the poor prognosis of many physiopathological conditions, but pharmacological therapies are still limited. Muscle activity leads to major swings in mitochondrial [Ca2+] which control aerobic metabolism, cell death and survival pathways. We have investigated in vivo the effects of mitochondrial Ca2+ homeostasis in skeletal muscle function and trophism, by overexpressing or silencing the Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter (MCU). The results coherently demonstrate that both in developing and in adult muscles MCU-dependent mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake has a marked trophic effect that does not depend on autophagy or aerobic control, but impinges on two major hypertrophic pathways of skeletal muscle, PGC-1M-NM-14 and Igf1-Akt/PKB. In adult mice, MCU overexpression protects from denervation-induced atrophy. These data reveal a novel Ca2+-dependent organelle-to-nucleus signaling route, which links mitochondrial function to the control of muscle mass and may represent a possible pharmacological target in sarcopenia. Experiments were performed on biological replicates of single skeletal muscle fibres. Seven fibres were chosen for their Mutochondrial Calcium Uniporter (MCU) overexpression and other seven fibres because MCU was silenced. Overexpression and silencing were performed injecting skeletal muscle with AAV containing MCU gene or short interfering oligos specific for MCU. As control was profiled eigth fibres transfected with AAV and eigth wild type fibres. Analyses were performed 7 days and 14 days after the AAV injection (3 fibers after 7 days and 4 fibers after 14 days for MCU overexpression and silencing, four fibres after 7 days and four after 14 days for control).
