Previously, we demonstrated that CISD-1 deficiency in worms lowers glucose and ATP levels. In this study, we further explored how worms compensate for lower ATP levels by analyzing changes in cytoplasmic and mitochondrial iron content, AMPK activities, and total lipid profiles.Materials and methods: Expression levels of CISD-1 and CISD-1::GFP fusion proteins in wild-type worms (N2), cisd-1-deletion mutants (tm4993 and syb923) and GFP insertion transgenic worms (PHX953 and SJL40) were examined by western blot. Fluorescence microscopy analyzed CISD-1::GFP pattern in PHX953 embryos and adults, and lipid droplet sizes in N2, cisd-1, aak-2 and aak-2;cisd-1 worms. Total and mitochondrial iron content, electron transport complex profiles, and AMPK activity were investigated in tm4993 and syb923 mutants. mRNA levels of mitochondrial β-oxidation genes, acs-2, cpt-5, and ech-1, were quantified by RT-qPCR in various genetic worm strains. Lipidomic analyses were performed in N2 and cisd-1(tm4993) worms.Results: Defects in cisd-1 lead to an imbalance in iron transport and cause proton leak, resulting in lower ATP production by interrupting the mitochondrial electron transport chain. We identified a signaling pathway that links ATP deficiency-induced AMPK (AMP activated protein kinase) activation to the expression of genes that facilitate lipolysis via β-oxidation.Conclusion: Our data provide a functional coordination between CISD-1 and AMPK constitutes a mitochondrial bioenergetics quality control mechanism that provides compensatory energy resources.","PeriodicalId":8934,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142614091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
