项目摘要
Project Summary:
Mitochondria are essential to life, as they not only produce the energy our cells need to maintain cellular
homeostasis but are also involved in cellular signaling and immunity. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been
implicated in the pathogenesis of various diseases. In addition, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which can escape
the mitochondria in circumstances that are still being elucidated, can activate cytoplasmic DNA sensors to
trigger an immune response. Circulating mtDNA increases with age, indicating that release of mtDNA from the
mitochondria and the subsequent activation of immune signaling may be a physiologically relevant process
that may contribute to the development of age-related pathology. Our lab discovered that decreased levels of
the mitochondrial protein Transcription Factor A, mitochondrial (TFAM), which functions in packaging mtDNA
inside the mitochondria, leads to enhanced release of mtDNA into the cytoplasm. TFAM protein levels have
been shown to decrease with age in various animal models, but the consequences of increased cytoplasmic
mtDNA on the aging process has not been explored.
Our lab has developed a Tfam heterozygous knock-out (Tfam+/-) mouse model of enhanced mtDNA release.
Cells and tissues from these mice show no significant differences in oxygen consumption rates or mtDNA
encoded transcripts when compared to wild-type (WT) mice despite having a 50% depletion of mtDNA and
enhanced mtDNA release into the cytoplasm.
Mouse embryonic fibroblasts and bone-marrow derived macrophages will be generated from WT and Tfam+/-
mice to test the activation of autophagy in response to cytoplasmic mtDNA. Since autophagy proteins have
been shown to regulate the activity of the cGAS-STING pathway when bacterial DNA acts as a trigger, the
dependency of both cGAS activation, STING activation, and the presence of various autophagy proteins will be
tested to fully elucidate the mechanism by which autophagy is activated in this context.
Activation of cGAS is a key process in the activation of the senescence program. Cellular senescence
underlies many age-related pathologies. Mouse primary lung fibroblasts will be generated from WT and Tfam+/-
mice to test the effect of mtDNA-mediated signaling on the rate of onset of senescence. In addition, the onset
of senescence in vivo and the contribution of mtDNA-mediated signaling to the development of age-related
pathology will be investigated using a well-established frailty scale.
This project will shed light on the mechanisms by which mtDNA-mediated signaling is regulated, and the
contribution of mtDNA pro-inflammatory signaling to the progression of age-related pathology. Understanding
the molecular biology underlying the aging-process will help identify novel therapeutic interventions to extend
healthy lifespan.
项目概要:
线粒体对生命至关重要,因为它们不仅产生我们的细胞维持细胞活力所需的能量,
体内平衡,但也参与细胞信号传导和免疫。线粒体功能障碍一直是
与多种疾病的发病机制有关。此外,线粒体DNA(mtDNA),它可以逃脱
线粒体在仍在阐明的情况下,可以激活细胞质DNA传感器,
引发免疫反应循环中的mtDNA随着年龄的增长而增加,这表明线粒体DNA的释放是随着年龄的增长而增加的。
线粒体和随后的免疫信号传导的激活可能是生理学上相关的过程
这可能会导致与年龄相关的病理学的发展。我们的实验室发现,
线粒体蛋白质转录因子A,线粒体(TFAM),其功能是包装线粒体DNA

线粒体DNA对衰老过程的影响尚未探讨。
我们的实验室已经开发了一种增强mtDNA释放的Tfam杂合敲除(Tfam+/-)小鼠模型。
这些小鼠的细胞和组织在耗氧率或线粒体DNA上没有显着差异
与野生型(WT)小鼠相比,尽管线粒体DNA缺失50%,

小鼠胚胎成纤维细胞和骨髓源性巨噬细胞将由WT和Tfam+/-

当细菌DNA作为触发物时,已经显示出调节cGAS-STING途径的活性,
cGAS激活、STING激活和各种自噬蛋白的存在两者的依赖性将被确定。

cGAS的激活是衰老程序激活的关键过程。细胞衰老

衰老过程的分子生物学基础将有助于确定新的治疗干预措施,
健康的寿命。
