The aggregation of beta-amyloid (A beta) peptide in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and mitophagy impairment. Mitophagy is a homeostatic mechanism by which autophagy selectively eliminates damaged mitochondria. Valinomycin is a respiratory chain inhibitor that activates mitophagy via the PINK1/Parkin signaling pathway. However, the mechanism underlying the association between mitophagy and valinomycin in A beta formation has not been explored. Here, we demonstrate that genetically modified (N2a/APP695swe) cells overexpressing a mutant amyloid precursor protein (APP) serve as an in vitro model of AD for studying mitophagy and ATP-related metabolomics. Our results prove that valinomycin induced a time-dependent increase in the mitophagy activation of N2a/APP695swe cells as indicated by increased levels of PINK1, Parkin, and LC3II as well as increased the colocalization of Parkin-Tom20 and fewer mitochondria (indicated by decreased Tom20 levels). Valinomycin significantly decreased A beta(1-42) and A beta(1-40) levels after 3 h of treatment. ATP levels and ATP-related metabolites were significantly increased at this time. Our findings suggest that the elimination of impaired mitochondria via valinomycin-induced mitophagy ameliorates AD by decreasing A beta and improving ATP levels.
