Project description:Distinct retrograde signaling pathways have been identified for several cellular organelles. These pathways are important to maintain the function of these organelles in response to organelle-specific stress. Using Caenorhabditis elegans, we show for the first time that such a retrograde signaling also exists for peroxisomes. Analysis of the C. elegans transcriptome revealed that peroxisomal import stress caused by the knock-down of the peroxisomal matrix protein import receptor prx-5/PEX5 induces the compensatory up-regulation of genes involved in defense response and lipid metabolic processes, especially peroxisomal beta oxidation. We, therefore, propose that the peroxisomal retrograde signaling participates in the maintenance of peroxisomal function in response to peroxisomal import stress.

Project description:While retrograde signalling pathways have been identified for several organelles, the existence of such a pathway for peroxisomes remains elusive. We identified a peroxisomal retrograde signalling (PRS) in C. elegans, which is activated in response to peroxisomal import stress. We analyzed the PRS using a proteomic approach.

Project description:Mitochondrial functions across different tissues are regulated in a coordinated fashion to optimize fitness of the organism. Mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) can be non-autonomously elicited by mitochondrial perturbation in neurons, but neuronal signals that propagate such response and its physiological significance remains incompletely understood. Here we show that in C. elegans, loss of neuronal fzo-1/Mitofusin induces non-autonomous UPRmt through multiple neurotransmitters and neurohormones, including acetylcholine, serotonin, glutamate, tyramine and insulin-like peptides. Neuronal fzo-1 depletion also triggers non-autonomous mitochondrial fragmentation, which requires autophagy and mitophagy genes. Systemic activation of UPRmt and mitochondrial fragmentation in C. elegans via perturbing neuronal mitochondrial dynamics improves resistance to pathogenic Pseudomonas infection, which is supported by transcriptomic signatures of immunity and stress response genes. We propose that C. elegans surveils neuronal mitochondrial dynamics that coordinate systemic UPRmt and mitochondrial connectivity for pathogen defense and optimized survival under bacterial infection.

Project description:Auditory cued fear conditioning is a widely used behavioral paradigm to investigate associative learning and memory formation. During conditioning, an animal learns that a particular auditory stimulus predicts an aversive stimulus, a foot shock. When later confronted again with this conditional auditory stimulus rodents typically respond with a cessation of movement. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of auditory fear conditioning on gene expression in the auditory cortex in a number of different paradigms that control for the effect of several behavioral factors. The different paradigms were M-^SpairedM-^T were the sound and the shock are paired so that the mouse associates the tone with the noxious stimulus the shock, M-^SsoundM-^T were only the sound was presented, M-^SshockM-^T were only the shock was presented, M-^SunpairedM-^T were the sound and the shock were presented one minute apart so that the mouse cannot form an association between the sound and the shock, M-^ScontextM-^T were no sounds or shocks were presented but the mouse was in the behavior chamber and M-^SHCM-^T were the mouse was taken directly from the cage.

Project description:The failure of T-cells to control tumor growth has been associated with several functional defects that collectively lead to T-cell “exhaustion.” This phenotype results from chronic antigen stimulation within the tumor microenvironment, but how repetitive antigenic stimulation leads to T-cell exhaustion remains poorly defined. Here we show that persistent antigen stimulation induces mitochondrial oxidative stress that reduces tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity. The resultant bioenergetic compromise impairs nucleotide triphosphate synthesis, induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and activates an exhaustion-associated gene expression program. Reversal of oxidative stress with N-acetylcysteine effectively restores T-cell proliferation, effector function, and memory-associated gene expression and enhances anti-tumor T-cell efficacy in vivo. These data reveal that induction of mitochondrial oxidative stress is a critical component of terminal T-cell dysfunction. Furthermore, treatments that restore mitochondrial redox are sufficient to prevent T-cell exhaustion and enhance anti-tumor immunity.

Project description:The mitochondrial matrix is unique in that it must integrate folding and assembly of proteins derived from nuclear and mitochondrial genomes. In C. elegans, the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) senses matrix protein misfolding and induces a program of nuclear gene expression, including mitochondrial chaperonins, to promote mitochondrial proteostasis. While misfolded mitochondrial matrix-localized ornithine trans-carbamylase (OTC) induces chaperonin expression, our understanding of mammalian UPRmt is rudimentary, reflecting a lack of acute triggers for UPRmt activation. This limitation has prevented analysis of the cellular responses to matrix protein misfolding and the effects of UPRmt on mitochondrial translation to control protein folding loads. Here, we combine pharmacological inhibitors of matrix-localized HSP90/TRAP1 or LON protease, which promote chaperonin expression, with global transcriptional and proteomic analysis to reveal an extensive and acute response of human cells to UPRmt. This response involved widespread induction of nuclear genes, including matrix-localized proteins involved in folding, pre-RNA processing and translation. Functional studies revealed rapid but reversible translation inhibition in mitochondria occurring concurrently with defects in pre-RNA processing due to transcriptional repression and LON-dependent turnover of the mitochondrial pre-RNA processing nuclease MRPP3. This study reveals that acute mitochondrial protein folding stress activates both increased chaperone availability within the matrix and reduced matrix-localized protein synthesis through translational inhibition, and provides a framework for further dissection of mammalian UPRmt. triplicate experiment of 3 conditions (untreated, GTPP treatment, CDDO treatment)

Project description:Peroxisomal Biogenesis Disorders (PBDs) are genetic disorders of peroxisome biogenesis and metabolism that are characterized by profound developmental and neurological phenotypes. The most severe class of PBDs—Zellweger Spectrum Disorder (ZSD)—is caused by mutations in peroxin genes that result in both non-functional peroxisomes and mitochondrial dysfunction. It is unclear, however, how defective peroxisomes contribute to mitochondrial impairment. In order to understand the molecular basis of this inter-organellar relationship, we investigated the fate of peroxisomal mRNAs and proteins in ZSD model systems. We found that peroxins were still expressed and a subset of them accumulated on the mitochondrial membrane, which resulted in gross mitochondrial abnormalities and impaired mitochondrial metabolic function. We showed that overexpression of ATAD1, a mitochondrial quality control factor, was sufficient to rescue several aspects of mitochondrial function in human ZSD fibroblasts. Together, these data suggest that aberrant peroxisomal protein localization is necessary and sufficient for the devastating mitochondrial morphological and metabolic phenotypes in ZSDs.
