Mitochondrial mistranslation is modulated by metabolic stress

ABSTRACT: Changes in the rate and fidelity of mitochondrial protein synthesis impact the metabolic and physiological roles of mitochondria. Here we explored how environmental stress in the form of a high fat diet modulates mitochondrial translation using mutant mice with error-prone (Mrps12ep/ep) or hyper-accurate (Mrps12ha/ha) mitochondrial ribosomes. We find that while, metabolically both mutations are beneficial in reducing body weight, decreasing circulating insulin and increasing glucose tolerance they cause tissue specific defects when placed on a high fat diet. In contrast to the effect of the mutations on a normal diet the Mrps12ha/ha mice show more pronounced phenotypic and molecular defects as a result of the slow, accurate nature of their protein synthesis. While the Mrps12ep/ep mice accumulate more fat, exhibit larger vacuoles in the liver and lose glucose tolerance, the Mrps12ha/ha mice develop severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hypoxia due to the stress of the diet, showing that benefit or detriment of error-prone and hyper-accurate protein synthesis in mitochondria is dependent on tissue and environmental conditions.

Changes in the rate and fidelity of mitochondrial protein synthesis impact the metabolic and physiological roles of mitochondria. Here we explored how environmental stress in the form of a high-fat diet modulates mitochondrial translation and affects lifespan in mutant mice with error-prone (Mrps12ep/ep ) or hyper-accurate (Mrps12ha/ha ) mitochondrial ribosomes. Intriguingly, although both mutations are metabolically beneficial in ...[more]

Project description:Background: Obesity has become a worldwide concern. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) comprises 10.4% of total intensive care unit admissions and is associated with very high mortality. ARDS incidence is increased in obese patients. Exposure of rodents to hyperoxia mimics many of the clinical and pathologic features observed in patients with ARDS. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of high fat diet-induced obesity on the susceptibility to hyperoxic acute lung injury in mice. Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice received 60% fat versus ingredient matched 10% fat diet. Mice were exposed to >95% oxygen to induce lung damage. RNA was isolated from lung homogenates and by comparing RNA sequencing results with mouse Mitocarta, an inventory of genes encoding proteins with mitochondrial localization, we identified fatty acid synthase (FASN), an enzyme catalyzing de novo fatty acid synthesis, as one of the mitochondrial genes significantly changed with diet and with hyperoxia. We generated mice deficient in FASN in alveolar epithelial cells by using a tamoxifen inducible Cre recombinase construct (FASNflox/flox SPC Cre+/-) and subjected them to hyperoxia and high fat diet. Results: Mice receiving 60% fat diet had significantly higher weight, serum cholesterol and fasting glucose. High fat diet mice had significantly reduced survival and increased lung damage, as assessed by BAL protein and LDH, histology and TUNEL staining. By RNA sequencing of lung homogenates we identified FASN as one of the mitochondrial genes significantly reduced in mice receiving 60% compared to 10% fat diet and further reduced with hyperoxia. We confirmed that FASN protein levels in the lung of high fat diet mice were lower by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. After 48 hours of hyperoxia FASNflox/flox SPC Cre+/- mice displayed increased levels of BAL protein and LDH and more severe histologic lung injury. FASNflox/flox SPC Cre+/- mice remained more prone to lung injury after hyperoxic exposure even when they received 60% fat diet. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that obesity increases the severity of hyperoxia induced acute lung injury in mice by altering FASN levels in the lung of high fat diet fed rodents. To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that high fat diet leads to altered FASN expression in the lung and that both high fat diet and reduced FASN in alveolar epithelial cells lead to increased lung injury under hyperoxic conditions.
