Retrograde mitochondrial signaling governs the identity and maturity of metabolic tissues


ABSTRACT: Mitochondrial damage is a hallmark of metabolic diseases, including diabetes and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, yet the consequences of impaired mitochondria in metabolic tissues are often unclear. Here, we report that dysfunctional mitochondrial quality control engages a retrograde (mitonuclear) signaling program that impairs cellular identity and maturity across multiple metabolic tissues. Surprisingly, we demonstrate that defects in the mitochondrial quality control machinery, which we observe in pancreatic β cells of humans with diabetes, cause reductions of β cell mass due to dedifferentiation, rather than apoptosis. Utilizing transcriptomic profiling, lineage tracing, and assessments of chromatin accessibility, we find that targeted deficiency anywhere in the mitochondrial quality control pathway (e.g., genome integrity, dynamics, or turnover) activate the mitochondrial integrated stress response and promote cellular immaturity in β cells, hepatocytes, and brown adipocytes. Intriguingly, pharmacologic blockade of mitochondrial retrograde signaling in vivo restores β cell mass and identity to ameliorate hyperglycemia following mitochondrial damage. Thus, we observe that a shared mitochondrial retrograde response controls cellular identity across metabolic tissues and may be a promising target to treat or prevent metabolic disorders.
