DOI: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.61798 1 of 26 Research article Immunology and Inflammation Neuroscience eLife digest Multiple sclerosis is a life-long neurological condition that typically begins when people are in their twenties or thirties. Symptoms vary between individuals, and within a single individual over time, but can include difficulties with vision, balance, movement and thinking. These occur because the immune system of people with multiple sclerosis attacks the brain and spinal cord. This immune assault damages neurons and can eventually cause them to die. But exactly how this happens is unclear, and there are no drugs available that can prevent it. One idea is that the immune attack in multiple sclerosis damages neurons by disrupting structures inside them called mitochondria. These cellular ‘organs’, or organelles, produce the energy that all cells need to function correctly. If the mitochondria fail to generate enough energy, the cells can die. And because neurons are very active cells with high energy demands, they are particularly vulnerable to the effects of mitochondrial damage. By studying a mouse version of multiple sclerosis, Rosenkranz et al. now show that mitochondria in the neurons of affected animals are less active than those of healthy control mice. This is because the genes inside mitochondria that enable the organelles to produce energy are less active in the multiple sclerosis mice. Most of these genes that determine mitochondrial activity and energy production are under the control of a single master gene called PGC-1alpha. Rosenkranz et al. showed that boosting the activity of this gene — by introducing extra copies of it into neurons — increases mitochondrial activity in mice. It also makes the animals more resistant to the effects of multiple sclerosis. Boosting the activity of mitochondria in neurons could thus be a worthwhile therapeutic strategy to investigate for multiple sclerosis. Future studies should examine whether drugs that activate PGC- 1alpha, for example, could help prevent neuronal death and the resulting symptoms of multiple sclerosis. (Dendrou et al., 2015; Feinstein et al., 2015) and repurposing of drugs to directly target neurode- generation in MS has been disappointing (Chataway et al., 2020), a better understanding of the molecular processes that determine neuronal cell loss in MS is urgently needed. Neuronal loss in MS and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), has been associated with enhanced production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species by immune cells and with increased iron accumulation in the gray matter (Stephenson et al., 2014). Both pro- cesses can lead to damage of neuronal mitochondria with subsequent metabolic failure (Campbell et al., 2011). Moreover, disruption of neuronal ion homeostasis (Craner et al., 2004; Friese et al., 2014) and aggregation of neuronal proteins (Schattling et al., 2019) consume high amounts of energy that might further drive neuroaxonal injury. Furthermore, excessive activation of calcium-dependent processes and neuronal calcium overload seems to be another important com- ponent of neuronal injury (Friese et al., 2007; Schattling et al., 2012; Witte et al., 2019). While identifying druggable targets that specifically induce neuronal resilience has been extremely difficult due to insufficient insights into key modulators, mitochondria could serve as an important hub as they are pivotal for both energy production and calcium homeostasis (Vafai and Mootha, 2012). Mitochondria usually have a high calcium buffering capacity, which is driven by their negative membrane potential that is generated by the activity of oxidative phosphorylation (Kann and Kova´cs, 2007; Zorova et al., 2018). However, overload of mitochondria with calcium as a conse- quence of CNS inflammation can result in inappropriate activation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (PTP) with subsequent mitochondrial swelling and cell death (Giorgi et al., 2018; Rizzuto et al., 2012), which is one of the neuropathological hallmarks in neurons during EAE (Nikic´ et al., 2011). Inhibiting the mitochondrial matrix protein cyclophilin D, a regulator of the PTP can partially counteract this dysregulation (Forte et al., 2007). Additionally, to counteract ion imbal- ance, a higher activity of ATP-dependent ion pumps would be required. However, postmortem stud- ies of MS patients’ CNS tissue revealed a compromised neuronal ATP production by oxidative phosphorylation as decreased mitochondria complex IV activity in demyelinated axons and neurons was detected (Campbell et al., 2011; Mahad et al., 2009). Similarly, mitochondrial gene expression Rosenkranz et al. eLife 2021;10:e61798. DOI: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.61798 2 of 26 Research article Immunology and Inflammation Neuroscience is suppressed in motor neurons of the spinal cord in EAE mice (Schattling et al., 2019), further sup- porting a comprised mitochondrial function during CNS inflammation. Thus, excess neuroaxonal calcium, together with mitochondrial dysfunction, has been postulated to trigger neuroaxonal injury observed in MS and EAE. This would be predicted to lead to elevated levels of calcium within neuronal and axonal mitochondria, further perpetuating mitochondrial dys- function and neuronal injury. However, it is currently unknown whether interventions that increase mitochondrial energy production in neurons can rescue neurodegeneration during CNS inflammation. Here, we discovered by an unsupervised survey of neuronal gene expression during CNS inflam- mation that genes involved in the electron transport chain (ETC), especially in complex I and IV, are repressed in motor neurons. While this is not accompanied by a decrease of mitochondrial numbers in motor neuronal somata, we detected a decrease in neuronal mitochondrial complex IV activity. This implies

ESRRA is predominantly expressed in metabolically-active tissues and regulates the transcription of metabolic genes, including those involved in mitochondrial turnover and autophagy. Although ESRRA activity is well-characterized in several types of cancer, recent reports suggest that it also has an important role in metabolic diseases. This minireview focuses on the regulation of cellular metabolism and function by ESRRA and its potential as a target for the treatment of metabolic disorders. Keywords: estrogen-related receptor alpha; mitophagy; mitochondrial turnover; metabolic diseases; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); adipogenesis; adaptive thermogenesis 1. Introduction When the estrogen-related receptor alpha (ESRRA) was first cloned, it was found to be a nuclear receptor (NR) that had DNA sequence homology to the estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) [1]. There are several examples of estrogen-related receptor (ESRR) and estrogen-signaling cross-talk via mutual transcriptional regulation or reciprocal binding to each other’s response elements of common target genes in a context-specific manner [2,3].

The immune complexes are deposited in the glomerular mesangium, leading to inflammation and loss of renal function, but the complete pathophysiology of the disease is not understood. Using an integrated global transcriptomic and proteomic profiling approach, we investigated the role of the mesangium in the onset and progression of IgAN. Global gene expression was investigated by microarray analysis of the glomerular compartment of renal biopsy specimens from patients with IgAN (n=19) and controls (n=22). Using curated glomerular cell type–specific genes from the published literature, we found differential expression of a much higher percentage of mesangial cell–positive standard genes than podocyte-positive standard genes in IgAN. Principal coordinate analysis of expression data revealed clear separation of patient and control samples on the basis of mesangial but not podocyte cell–positive standard genes.

    Adiponectin suppresses gluconeogenic gene expression in mouse hepatocytes independent of LKB1-AMPK signaling Russell A. Miller, … , Benoit Viollet, Morris J. Birnbaum J Clin Invest. 2011;121(6):2518-2528. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI45942. Research Article Metabolism The adipocyte-derived hormone adiponectin signals from the fat storage depot to regulate metabolism in peripheral tissues. Inversely correlated with body fat levels, adiponectin reduction in obese individuals may play a causal role in the symptoms of metabolic syndrome. Adiponectin lowers serum glucose through suppression of hepatic glucose production, an effect attributed to activation of AMPK. Here, we investigated the signaling pathways that mediate the effects of adiponectin by studying mice with inducible hepatic deletion of LKB1, an upstream regulator of AMPK. We found that loss of LKB1 in the liver partially impaired the ability of adiponectin to lower serum glucose, though other actions of the hormone were preserved, including reduction of gluconeogenic gene expression and hepatic glucose production as assessed by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp. Furthermore, in primary mouse hepatocytes, the absence of LKB1, AMPK, or the transcriptional coactivator CRTC2 did not prevent adiponectin from inhibiting glucose output or reducing gluconeogenic gene expression. These results reveal that whereas some of the hormone’s actions in vivo may be LKB1 dependent, substantial LKB1-, AMPK-, and CRTC2-independent signaling pathways also mediate effects of adiponectin.

Artemov1*, Nadezhda Zhigalova1, Svetlana Zhenilo1, Alexander M. Mazur1 and Egor B. Prokhortchouk1 1 Institute of Bioengineering, Research Center of Biotechnology RAS, Moscow, Russian Federation * [email protected] Abstract VHL inactivation is a key oncogenic event for renal carcinomas. In normoxia, VHL suppresses HIF1a-mediated response to hypoxia. It has previously been shown that hypoxic conditions inhibit TET-dependent hydroxymethylation of cytosines and cause DNA hypermethylation at gene promoters. In this work, we performed VHL inactivation by CRISPR/Cas9 and studied its effects on gene expression and DNA methylation. We showed that even without hypoxia, VHL inactivation leads to hypermethylation of the genome which mainly occurred in AP-1 and TRIM28 binding sites. We also observed promoter hypermethylation of several transcription regulators associated with decreased gene expression. Keywords DNA methylation; VHL; hypoxia; HIF1a; JUN; FOS Introduction Sequencing of cancer genomes was initially aimed to find cancer drivers, or genes, that, once mutated, give a selective advantage to a cancer cell, such as increased proliferation, suppression of apoptosis or the ability to avoid immune response. VHL is a key oncosuppressor gene for kidney cancer. Inactivation of the VHL gene is the most common event in renal carcinomas, accounting for 50{70% of sporadic cases (Scelo et al. 2014; Cancer Genome Atlas Research Network 2013; Thomas et al.

The combined use of biochemical and molecular genetic tools has been instrumental in elucidating the functions of numerous yeast nuclear gene products with human homologs that affect a large number of metabolic and biological processes, including those housed in mitochondria. These include structural and catalytic subunits of enzymes and protein factors that impinge on the biogenesis of the respiratory chain. This article will review what is currently known about the genetics and clinical phenotypes of mitochondrial diseases of the respiratory chain and ATP synthase, with special emphasis on the contribution of information gained from pet mutants with mutations in nuclear genes that impair mitochondrial respiration. Our intent is to provide the yeast mitochondrial specialist with basic knowledge of human mitochondrial pathologies and the human specialist with information on how genes that directly and indirectly affect respiration were identified and characterized in yeast. Keywords: mitochondrial diseases; respiratory chain; yeast; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; pet mutants 1.
