Context-Dependent Roles of Mitochondrial LONP1 in Orchestrating the Balance between Airway Progenitor versus Progeny Cells

ABSTRACT: While all eukaryotic cells are dependent on mitochondria for function, in a complex tissue, which cell type and which cell behavior are more sensitive to mitochondrial deficiency remains unpredictable. Here we show that in the mouse airway, compromising mitochondrial function by inactivating mitochondrial protease gene Lonp1 led to reduced progenitor proliferation and differentiation during development; apoptosis of terminally differentiated ciliated cells and their replacement by basal progenitors and goblet cells during homeostasis; and failed airway progenitor migration into damaged alveoli following influenza infection. ATF4 and the integrated stress response (ISR) pathway are elevated and responsible for airway phenotypes. Such context dependent sensitivities are predicted by the selective expression of Bok, which is required for ISR activation. Reduced LONP1 expression is found in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) airways with squamous metaplasia. These findings illustrate a cellular energy landscape whereby compromised mitochondrial function could favor the emergence of pathological cell types.

Project description:This experiment was conducted to identify the mitochondrial protein changes in the presence and absence of LONP1 in skeletal muscle. The following abstract from the submitted manuscript describes the major findings of this work.Disuse-associated loss of muscle LONP1 impairs mitochondrial quality and causes reduced skeletal muscle mass and strength.

Mitochondrial proteolysis is an evolutionarily conserved quality control mechanism to maintain proper mitochondrial integrity and function. However, the physiological relevance of stress-induced impaired mitochondrial protein quality remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that LONP1, a major mitochondrial protease resides in the matrix, plays a critical role in controlling mitochondrial quality as well as skeletal muscle mass and strength in response to muscle disuse. In humans and mice, disuse-related muscle loss is associated with decreased mitochondrial LONP1 protein. Skeletal muscle-specific ablation of LONP1 in mice resulted in impaired mitochondrial protein turnover, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction. This caused reduced muscle fiber size and strength. Mechanistically, aberrant accumulation of mitochondrial-retained protein in muscle upon loss of LONP1 induces the activation of autophagy-lysosome degradation program of muscle loss. Overexpressing a mitochondrial-retained mutant ornithine transcarbamylase (ΔOTC), a known protein degraded by LONP1, in skeletal muscle induces mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagy activation, and cause muscle loss and weakness. Thus, these findings reveal a pivotal role of LONP1-dependent mitochondrial protein quality-control in safeguarding mitochondrial function and preserving skeletal muscle mass and strength, and unravel an intriguing link between mitochondrial protein quality and muscle mass maintenance during muscle disuse.
