Autophagy, is a key pathway of cellular homeostasis for removing damaged macromolecules and organelles, including mitochondria. Recent studies indicate that autophagy activation is defective in aging and osteoarthritis (OA), contributing to the cell death and tissue damage. In addition, there is increasing evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in OA pathogenesis. The objective of this study is to determine whether activation of autophagy protects from mitochondrial dysfunction in human chondrocytes. Human chondrocytes were treated with Oligomycin, an inhibitor of mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) complex V. Autophagy activation was analyzed by determination of LC3-II, a marker for autophagosome formation. To investigate whether autophagy protects from mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagy was induced by mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) selective inhibitor Rapamycin and the dual mTORC1 and mTORC2 inhibitor Torin 1. SiAtg5 was employed to evaluate the role of autophagy in mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondrial dysfunction was induced by treatment with Oligomycin, which significantly decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm). This was associated with increased ROS production and cell death. Autophagy activation, reflected by LC3-II, was decreased in a time dependent manner. To evaluate whether autophagy regulates mitochondrial function, chondrocytes were pre-treated with Rapamycin and Torin 1 before Oligomycin. Autophagy activation significantly protected against mitochondrial dysfunction. Conversely, genetic inhibition of autophagy induced significant mitochondrial function defects. Our data highlight the role of autophagy as a critical protective mechanism against mitochondrial dysfunction. Pharmacological interventions that enhance autophagy may have chondroprotective activity in cartilage degenerative processes such as OA.
