Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter is Required for Thermogenic Adaptation Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species Signaling.
Mitochondrial Ca2+ influx via mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) accelerates mitochondrial biogenesis and energy metabolism. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism of MCU-dependent mitochondrial activation and thermogenesis in thermogenic adipose tissues remains elusive. In this study, we demonstrate that MCU governs mitochondrial functions in brown and beige adipocytes via the formation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS). Mice with a brown adipose tissue-specific Mcu knockout (Mcu BKO) mice exhibited decreased oxygen consumption and heat production, accompanied by downregulation of genes related to β-oxidation and thermogenesis. Furthermore, Mcu BKO mice, exhibiting a reduction in mtROS, showed defective thermogenic responses to cold exposure or β-adrenergic stimulation. Downregulation of thermogenic genes including Ucp1 in Mcu BKO mice can be rescued by exogenous ROS through AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation. Collectively, our results suggest that MCU modulates mtROS formation, which in turn mediates mitonuclear signaling to cellular response with mitochondrial activation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Lipid Research (JLR) publishes original articles and reviews in the broadly defined area of biological lipids. We encourage the submission of manuscripts relating to lipids, including those addressing problems in biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology, cell biology, genetics, molecular medicine, clinical medicine and metabolism. Major criteria for acceptance of articles are new insights into mechanisms of lipid function and metabolism and/or genes regulating lipid metabolism along with sound primary experimental data. Interpretation of the data is the authors’ responsibility, and speculation should be labeled as such. Manuscripts that provide new ways of purifying, identifying and quantifying lipids are invited for the Methods section of the Journal. JLR encourages contributions from investigators in all countries, but articles must be submitted in clear and concise English.
