ABSTRACT Mitochondria are critical in the regulation of cellular metabolism and influence signaling processes and inflammatory responses. Mitochondrial DNA mutations and mitochondrial dysfunction are known to cause a wide range of pathological conditions and are associated with various immune diseases. The findings in this work describe the effect of a mutation in the mitochondrially encoded mt-Atp8 gene in the conplastic mouse strain C57BL/6J-mtFVB/NJ on the mitochondrial function and consequent alterations to metabolic and immunological phenotypes. This work provides insights into the mutation-induced cellular adaptations that influence the inflammatory milieu and shape pathological processes, in particular focusing on autoimmune bullous diseases, which have recently been reported to be associated with mtDNA polymorphisms in the human MT-ATP8 gene. The mt-Atp8 mutation diminishes the assembly of the ATP synthase complex into multimers and decreases mitochondrial respiration, affects generation of reactive oxygen species thus leading to a shift in the metabolic balance and reduction in the energy state of the cell as indicated by the ratio ATP to ADP.

Received: 29 April 2020; Accepted: 15 May 2020; Published: 18 May 2020 Abstract: Mitochondria serve as a hub for many cellular processes, including bioenergetics, metabolism, cellular signaling, redox balance, calcium homeostasis, and cell death. The mitochondrial proteome includes over a thousand proteins, encoded by both the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. The majority (~99%) of proteins are nuclear encoded that are synthesized in the cytosol and subsequently imported into the mitochondria. Within the mitochondria, polypeptides fold and assemble into their native functional form. Mitochondria health and integrity depend on correct protein import, folding, and regulated turnover termed as mitochondrial protein quality control (MPQC). Failure to maintain these processes can cause mitochondrial dysfunction that leads to various pathophysiological outcomes and the commencement of diseases. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about the role of different MPQC regulatory systems such as mitochondrial chaperones, proteases, the ubiquitin-proteasome system, mitochondrial unfolded protein response, mitophagy, and mitochondria-derived vesicles in the maintenance of mitochondrial proteome and health. The proper understanding of mitochondrial protein quality control mechanisms will provide relevant insights to treat multiple human diseases. Keywords: mitochondria; proteome; ubiquitin; proteasome; chaperones; protease; mitophagy; mitochondrial protein quality control; mitochondria-associated degradation; mitochondrial unfolded protein response 1.

  • Mitochondria's Role in Skin Ageing
    biology Review Mitochondria’s Role in Skin Ageing Roisin Stout and Mark Birch-Machin * Dermatological Sciences, Institute of Cellular Medicine, Medical School, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4HH, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 21 December 2018; Accepted: 7 February 2019; Published: 11 May 2019 Abstract: Skin ageing is the result of a loss of cellular function, which can be further accelerated by external factors. Mitochondria have important roles in skin function, and mitochondrial damage has been found to accumulate with age in skin cells, but also in response to solar light and pollution. There is increasing evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are key features in all ageing tissues, including skin. This is directly linked to skin ageing phenotypes: wrinkle formation, hair greying and loss, uneven pigmentation and decreased wound healing. The loss of barrier function during skin ageing increases susceptibility to infection and affects wound healing. Therefore, an understanding of the mechanisms involved is important clinically and also for the development of antiageing skin care products. Keywords: mitochondria; skin; ageing; reactive oxygen species; photoageing 1. Skin Structure Skin is the largest organ of the human body and made up of three distinct layers: the epidermis, the dermis and subcutaneous fat. It functions as a barrier against the environment, providing protection against microbes as well as fluid and temperature homeostasis. The epidermis is a thin layer of densely packed keratinised epithelial cells (keratinocytes) which contains no nerves or blood vessels and relies on the thick dermal layer underneath for metabolism.

  • ATM-Mediated Mitochondrial Radiation Responses of Human Fibroblasts
    G C A T T A C G G C A T genes Review ATM-Mediated Mitochondrial Radiation Responses of Human Fibroblasts Tsutomu Shimura Department of Environmental Health, National Institute of Public Health 2-3-6 Minami, Wako 351-0197, Saitama, Japan; [email protected]; Tel.: +81-48-458-6261 Abstract: Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is characterized by extreme sensitivity to ionizing radiation. The gene mutated in AT, Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM), has serine/threonine protein kinase activ- ity and mediates the activation of multiple signal transduction pathways involved in the processing of DNA double-strand breaks. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) created as a byproduct of the mito- chondria’s oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) has been proposed to be the source of intracellular ROS. Mitochondria are uniquely vulnerable to ROS because they are the sites of ROS generation. ROS- induced mitochondrial mutations lead to impaired mitochondrial respiration and further increase the likelihood of ROS generation, establishing a vicious cycle of further ROS production and mitochon- drial damage. AT patients and ATM-deficient mice display intrinsic mitochondrial dysfunction and exhibit constitutive elevations in ROS levels. ATM plays a critical role in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. However, the precise mechanism of ATM-mediated mitochondrial antioxidants remains unclear. The aim of this review paper is to introduce our current research surrounding the role of ATM on maintaining cellular redox control in human fibroblasts. ATM-mediated signal transduction is important in the mitochondrial radiation response. Perturbation of mitochondrial redox control elevates ROS which are key mediators in the development of cancer by many mechanisms, including ROS-mediated genomic instability, tumor microenvironment formation, and chronic inflammation.

Porter Jr. 2,9,10 & Andreas M. Beyer1,3 Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of death worldwide and frequently associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Detailed understanding of abnormalities in mitochondrial function that occur in patients with CAD is lacking. We evaluated mitochondrial damage, energy production, and mitochondrial complex activity in human non-CAD and CAD hearts. Fresh and frozen human heart tissue was used. Cell lysate or mitochondria were isolated using standard techniques. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), NAD + and ATP levels, and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation capacity were evaluated. Proteins critical to the regulation of mitochondrial metabolism and function were also evaluated in tissue lysates. PCR analysis revealed an increase in mtDNA lesions and the frequency of mitochondrial common deletion, both established markers for impaired mitochondrial integrity in CAD compared to non-CAD patient samples. NAD+ and ATP levels were signifcantly decreased in CAD subjects compared to Non-CAD (NAD+ fold change: non-CAD 1.00 ± 0.17 vs. CAD 0.32 ± 0.12* and ATP fold change: non-CAD 1.00 ± 0.294 vs. CAD 0.01 ± 0.001*; N = 15, P < 0.005).

J. JENKINS AND T. J. PETERS From the Department ofMedicine, Royal Pnvtgraduate Medical School, London W12 OHS SUMMARY The hypothesis that mitochondrial damage is a significant factor in the pathogenesis of alcoholicliverdisease (ALD) was investigated by enzymic analysis ofmitochondrial fractions isolated from needle biopsy specimens from control patients, patients with fatty liver due to chronic alcoholism, and from patients with other forms of liver disease. Enzymes associated with the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes showed normal levels in ALD. Enzymes associated with the mitochondrial matrix, glutamate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase and aspartate amino- transferase showed significantly raised levels in ALD, but the levels in patients with non-alcoholic liver disease were normal. In addition, analysis of the mitochondria by sucrose density gradient centrifugation revealed no differences between control tissue and liver from patients with alcoholic liver disease. These results do not indicate that there is significant mitochondrial damage in ALD. The raised mitochondrial matrix enzymes may represent an adaptive response to the ethanol load.

However, the factors that cause cellular senescence during aging are unclear. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to cause cellular senescence in culture, and accumulated molecular damage due to mitochondrial ROS has long been thought to drive aging phenotypes in vivo. Here, we test the hypothesis that mitochondrial oxidative stress can promote cellular senescence in vivo and contribute to aging phenotypes in vivo, specifically in the skin. We show that the number of senescent cells, as well as impaired mitochondrial (complex II) activity increase in naturally aged mouse skin.
