Diabetes damages retinal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and compromises the mtDNA transcription. In the transcription and replication of mtDNA, nuclear-encoded transcription factor A (TFAM) is considered as a key activator, and we have shown that in diabetes while retinal TFAM gene expression is increased, its mitochondrial levels are decreased. This study investigates the role of mitochondrial outer and inner membrane transport systems in the transfer of TFAM into the mitochondria in diabetes, and how reversal of hyperglycemia affects the ability of TFAM to reach to the mitochondria. Components of membrane transport system, Tom70, Tom40, Tim23 and Tim44, were analyzed in the retina from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats maintained in poor control (PC) or in good control (GC) for 8 months, or in PC for 4 months followed by in GC for 4 months (Rev). The binding of TFAM with Tom70 and Tim44 was determined by co-immunoprecipitation, and that with mtDNA by ChIP. Retinal expressions of Tom70, Tom40 and Tim44 were significantly decreased in diabetes, and the binding of TFAM with Tom70, Tim44 and mtDNA were impaired. Reversal of hyperglycemia had no beneficial effect on decreased binding of TFAM and Tom proteins and mtDNA. Thus, subnormal membrane transport system in diabetes impairs the transfer of TFAM into the mitochondria, and decreased TFAM-mtDNA binding results in subnormal mitochondria transcription. These processes continue to be dysfunctional even after the hyperglycemic insult is terminated. Strategies targeting mitochondrial membrane transport proteins could have potential in improving mitochondrial biogenesis and slowing/halting the progression of diabetic retinopathy.
