Abstract Background Apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) is a major genetic risk factor of Alzheimer’s disease. Its C-terminal-truncated apoE4 (Δ272–299) has neurotoxicity by affecting mitochondrial respiratory function. However, the molecular mechanism(s) underlying the action of apoE4 (Δ272–299) in mitochondrial function remain poorly understood. Methods The impact of neuronal apoE4 (Δ272–299) expression on ER stress, mitochondrial-associated membrane (MAM) formation, GRP75, calcium transport and mitochondrial impairment was determined in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, the importance of ER stress or GRP75 activity in the apoE4 (Δ272–299)-promoted mitochondrial dysfunction in neuron was investigated. Results Neuronal apoE4 (Δ272–299) expression induced mitochondrial impairment by inducing ER stress and mitochondrial-associated membrane (MAM) formation in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, apoE4 (Δ272–299) expression promoted GRP75 expression, mitochondrial dysfunction and calcium transport into the mitochondria in neuron, which were significantly mitigated by treatment with PBA (an inhibitor of ER stress), MKT077 (a specific GRP75 inhibitor) or GRP75 silencing. Conclusions ApoE4 (Δ272–299) significantly impaired neuron mitochondrial function by triggering ER stress, up-regulating GRP75 expression to increase MAM formation, and mitochondrial calcium overload. Our findings may provide new insights into the neurotoxicity of apoE4 (Δ272–299) against mitochondrial function and uncover new therapeutic targets for the intervention of Alzheimer’s disease.

The five-sixth nephrectomy (5/6Nx) model is widely used to study the mechanisms involved in chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Mitochondrial impairment is a critical mechanism that favors CKD progression. However, until now, there are no temporal studies of the change in mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics that allow determining the role of these processes in mitochondrial impairment and renal damage progression in the 5/6Nx model. In this work, we determined the changes in mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics markers in remnant renal mass from days 2 to 28 after 5/6Nx. Our results show a progressive reduction in mitochondrial biogenesis triggered by reducing two principal regulators of mitochondrial protein expression, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1-alpha and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha. Furthermore, the reduction in mitochondrial biogenesis proteins strongly correlates with the increase in renal damage markers. Additionally, we found a slow and gradual change in mitochondrial dynamics from fusion to fission, favoring mitochondrial fragmentation at later stages after 5/6Nx. Together, our results suggest that 5/6Nx induces the progressive reduction in mitochondrial mass over time via the decrease in mitochondrial biogenesis factors and a slow shift from mitochondrial fission to fusion; both mechanisms favor CKD progression in the remnant renal mass.

AbstractMitochondrial import deficiency causes cellular stress due to the accumulation of non-imported mitochondrial precursor proteins. Despite the burden mis-localized mitochondrial precursors place on cells, our understanding of the systems that dispose of these proteins is incomplete. Here, we catalog the location and steady-state abundance of mitochondrial precursor proteins during mitochondrial impairment in S. cerevisiae. We find that a number of non-imported mitochondrial proteins localize to the nucleus, where they are eliminated by proteasome-based nuclear protein quality control. Recognition of mitochondrial precursors by the nuclear quality control machinery requires the presence of an N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS), and impaired breakdown of precursors leads to their buildup in nuclear-associated foci. These results identify the nucleus as a key destination for the disposal of non-imported mitochondrial precursors.
