Mitochondria-Focused Gene Expression Profile Reveals Common OPEN Citation: Transl Psychiatry (2015) 5, e580; doi:10.1038/tp.2015.65 www.nature.com/tp ORIGINAL ARTICLE Mitochondria-focused gene expression profile reveals common pathways and CPT1B dysregulation in both rodent stress model and human subjects with PTSD L Zhang1,3,HLi1,3,XHu1,3, DM Benedek1,3, CS Fullerton1,3, RD Forsten2,3, JA Naifeh1,XLi1,HWu1, KN Benevides1,TLe1, S Smerin1, DW Russell1 and RJ Ursano1,3 Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a trauma-related mental disorder, is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction in the brain. However, the biologic approach to identifying the mitochondria-focused genes underlying the pathogenesis of PTSD is still in its infancy. Previous research, using a human mitochondria-focused cDNA microarray (hMitChip3) found dysregulated mitochondria- focused genes present in postmortem brains of PTSD patients, indicating that those genes might be PTSD-related biomarkers. To further test this idea, this research examines profiles of mitochondria-focused gene expression in the stressed-rodent model (inescapable tail shock in rats), which shows characteristics of PTSD-like behaviors and also in the blood of subjects with PTSD. This study found that 34 mitochondria-focused genes being upregulated in stressed-rat amygdala. Ten common pathways, including fatty acid metabolism and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) pathways were dysregulated in the amygdala of the stressed rats. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B (CPT1B), an enzyme in the fatty acid metabolism and PPAR pathways, was significantly over-expressed in the amygdala (Po0.007) and in the blood (Po0.01) of stressed rats compared with non-stressed controls. In human subjects with (n = 28) or without PTSD (n = 31), significant over-expression of CPT1B in PTSD was also observed in the two common dysregulated pathways: fatty acid metabolism (P = 0.0027, false discovery rate (FDR) = 0.043) and PPAR (P = 0.006, FDR = 0.08). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction validated the microarray findings and the CPT1B result. These findings indicate that blood can be used as a specimen in the search for PTSD biomarkers in fatty acid metabolism and PPAR pathways, and, in addition, that CPT1B may contribute to the pathology of PTSD.

Tsai1,8 Mitochondrial dysfunction and metabolic remodelling are pivotal in the development of cardiomyopathy. Here, we show that myocardial COUP-TFII overexpression causes heart failure in mice, suggesting a causal effect of elevated COUP-TFII levels on development of dilated cardiomyopathy. COUP-TFII represses genes critical for mitochondrial electron transport chain enzyme activity, oxidative stress detoxification and mitochondrial dynamics, resulting in increased levels of reactive oxygen species and lower rates of oxygen consumption in mitochondria. COUP-TFII also suppresses the metabolic regulator PGC-1 network and decreases the expression of key glucose and lipid utilization genes, leading to a reduction in both glucose and oleate oxidation in the hearts. These data suggest that COUP- TFII affects mitochondrial function, impairs metabolic remodelling and has a key role in dilated cardiomyopathy. Last, COUP-TFII haploinsufficiency attenuates the progression of cardiac dilation and improves survival in a calcineurin transgenic mouse model, indicating that COUP-TFII may serve as a therapeutic target for the treatment of dilated cardiomyopathy. 1 Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030, USA. 2 Adrienne Helis Malvin Medical Research Foundation, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, USA.

  • Low Abundance of the Matrix Arm of Complex I in Mitochondria Predicts Longevity in Mice
    ARTICLE Received 24 Jan 2014 | Accepted 9 Apr 2014 | Published 12 May 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4837 OPEN Low abundance of the matrix arm of complex I in mitochondria predicts longevity in mice Satomi Miwa1, Howsun Jow2, Karen Baty3, Amy Johnson1, Rafal Czapiewski1, Gabriele Saretzki1, Achim Treumann3 & Thomas von Zglinicki1 Mitochondrial function is an important determinant of the ageing process; however, the mitochondrial properties that enable longevity are not well understood. Here we show that optimal assembly of mitochondrial complex I predicts longevity in mice. Using an unbiased high-coverage high-confidence approach, we demonstrate that electron transport chain proteins, especially the matrix arm subunits of complex I, are decreased in young long-living mice, which is associated with improved complex I assembly, higher complex I-linked state 3 oxygen consumption rates and decreased superoxide production, whereas the opposite is seen in old mice. Disruption of complex I assembly reduces oxidative metabolism with concomitant increase in mitochondrial superoxide production. This is rescued by knockdown of the mitochondrial chaperone, prohibitin. Disrupted complex I assembly causes premature senescence in primary cells. We propose that lower abundance of free catalytic complex I components supports complex I assembly, efficacy of substrate utilization and minimal ROS production, enabling enhanced longevity. 1 Institute for Ageing and Health, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE4 5PL, UK. 2 Centre for Integrated Systems Biology of Ageing and Nutrition, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE4 5PL, UK. 3 Newcastle University Protein and Proteome Analysis, Devonshire Building, Devonshire Terrace, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, UK.

Nooka 1, Lawrence H. Boise 1, Deepak Nagrath2,3,5 & ✉ Mala Shanmugam 1 1234567890():,; The BCL-2 antagonist venetoclax is highly effective in multiple myeloma (MM) patients exhibiting the 11;14 translocation, the mechanistic basis of which is unknown. In evaluating cellular energetics and metabolism of t(11;14) and non-t(11;14) MM, we determine that venetoclax-sensitive myeloma has reduced mitochondrial respiration. Consistent with this, low electron transport chain (ETC) Complex I and Complex II activities correlate with venetoclax sensitivity. Inhibition of Complex I, using IACS-010759, an orally bioavailable Complex I inhibitor in clinical trials, as well as succinate ubiquinone reductase (SQR) activity of Complex II, using thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTFA) or introduction of SDHC R72C mutant, independently sensitize resistant MM to venetoclax. We demonstrate that ETC inhibition increases BCL-2 dependence and the ‘primed’ state via the ATF4-BIM/NOXA axis. Further, SQR activity correlates with venetoclax sensitivity in patient samples irrespective of t(11;14) status. Use of SQR activity in a functional-biomarker informed manner may better select for MM patients responsive to venetoclax therapy. 1 Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology, Winship Cancer Institute, School of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA.

At present, the function of the majority of these super- Revised 12 March 2014 numerary subunits is poorly understood. In this work, we have studied NDUFA3, NDUFA5 and Accepted 23 March 2014 NDUFA12 supernumerary subunits to gain insight into their role in CI activity and biogenesis. Using Available online 6 April 2014 human cell lines in which the expression of these subunits was knocked down with miRNAs, we Edited by Peter Brzezinski showed that they are necessary for the formation of a functional holoenzyme. Analysis of the assem- bly intermediates in mitochondria depleted for these subunits further suggested that they are required for assembly and/or stability of the electron transferring Q module in the peripheral arm Keywords: Mitochondria of the CI.
