Cyclophilin D in Mitochondrial Dysfunction: A Key Player in Neurodegeneration?

Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a pivotal role in numerous complex diseases. Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which the "powerhouse of the cell" turns into the "factory of death" is an exciting yet challenging task that can unveil new therapeutic targets. The mitochondrial matrix protein CyPD is a peptidylprolyl cis-trans isomerase involved in the regulation of the permeability transition pore (mPTP). The mPTP is a multi-conductance channel in the inner mitochondrial membrane whose dysregulated opening can ultimately lead to cell death and whose involvement in pathology has been extensively documented over the past few decades. Moreover, several mPTP-independent CyPD interactions have been identified, indicating that CyPD could be involved in the fine regulation of several biochemical pathways. To further enrich the picture, CyPD undergoes several post-translational modifications that regulate both its activity and interaction with its clients. Here, we will dissect what is currently known about CyPD and critically review the most recent literature about its involvement in neurodegenerative disorders, focusing on Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease, supporting the notion that CyPD could serve as a promising therapeutic target for the treatment of such conditions. Notably, significant efforts have been made to develop CyPD-specific inhibitors, which hold promise for the treatment of such complex disorders.

A Novel Conceptual Model for the Dual Role of FOF1-ATP Synthase in Cell Life and Cell Death.

The mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) has been one of the longstanding enigmas in biology. Its cause is currently at the center of an extensive scientific debate, and several hypotheses on its molecular nature have been put forward. The present view holds that the transition arises from the opening of a high-conductance channel in the energy-transducing membrane, the permeability transition pore (PTP), also called the mitochondrial megachannel or the multiconductance channel (MMC). Here, the novel hypothesis is proposed that the aqueous access channels at the interface of the c-ring and the a-subunit of FO in the FOF1-ATP synthase are repurposed during induction of apoptosis and constitute the elusive PTP/ MMC. A unifying principle based on regulation by local potentials is advanced to rationalize the action of the myriad structurally and chemically diverse inducers and inhibitors of PTP/MMC. Experimental evidence in favor of the hypothesis and its differences from current models of PTP/MMC are summarized. The hypothesis explains in considerable detail how the binding of Ca2+ to a β-catalytic site (site 3) in the F1 portion of ATP synthase triggers the opening of the PTP/MMC. It is also shown to connect to longstanding proposals within Nath's torsional mechanism of energy transduction and ATP synthesis as to how the binding of MgADP to site 3 does not induce PTP/MMC, but instead catalyzes physiological ATP synthesis in cell life. In the author's knowledge, this is the first model that explains how Ca2+ transforms the FOF1-ATP synthase from an exquisite energy-conserving enzyme in cell life into an energy-dissipating structure that promotes cell death. This has major implications for basic as well as for clinical research, such as for the development of drugs that target the MPT, given the established role of PTP/MMC dysregulation in cancer, ischemia, cardiac hypertrophy, and various neurodegenerative diseases.

Molecular nature and regulation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore(s), drug target(s) in cardioprotection

The mitochondrial permeability transition, an established mechanism for heart diseases, is a long-standing mystery of mitochondrial biology and a prime drug target for cardioprotection. Several hypotheses about its molecular nature have been put forward over the years, and the prevailing view is that permeabilization of the inner mitochondrial membrane follows opening of a high-conductance channel, the permeability transition pore, which is also called mitochondrial megachannel or multiconductance channel. The permeability transition strictly requires matrix Ca2+ and is favored by the matrix protein cyclophilin D, which mediates the inhibitory effects of cyclosporin A. Here we provide a review of the field, with specific emphasis on the possible role of the adenine nucleotide translocator and of the F-ATP synthase in channel formation, and on currently available small molecule inhibitors. While the possible mechanisms through which the adenine nucleotide translocator and the F-ATP synthase might form high-conductance channels remain unknown, reconstitution experiments and site-directed mutagenesis combined to electrophysiology have provided important clues. The hypothesis that more than one protein may act as a permeability transition pore provides a reasonable explanation for current controversies in the field, and holds great promise for the solution of the mystery of the permeability transition.

Estimating the Synaptic Current in a Multiconductance AMPA Receptor Model

Synaptic transmission starts after the presynaptic neuron has released diffusing neurotransmitters, leading to postsynaptic receptor activation and a postsynaptic current, mostly mediated by glutamatergic (AMPARs) receptors for excitatory neurons. Despite intense experimental and theoretical research, it is still unclear how factors such as the synaptic cleft geometry, the organization, the number and the multiconductance state of receptors, the geometry of postsynaptic density (PSD), and the neurotransmitter release location, shape the mean and the variance of the postsynaptic current and its plastic changes. To estimate the synaptic current amplitude and to account for the stochastic nature of synaptic transmission, we develop a semianalytical method in which we obtain a general expression for the coefficient of variation. The method uses the experimental data about the multiconductance channels. We find that PSD morphological changes can significantly modulate the synaptic current, which is maximally reliable (the coefficient of variation is minimal) for an optimal size of the PSD, that depends on the vesicular release active zone. We show that this optimal PSD size is due to nonlinear phenomena involving the receptor multibinding cooperativity. We conclude that changes in the PSD geometry can sustain a form of synaptic plasticity, independent of a change in the number of receptors.

Decrease in a Leak Conductance Associated with Mitochondrial Complex V and Improved Bioenergetic Efficiency may Underlie Cytoprotection of at-Risk Neurons by Dexpramipexole

Chronic neurodegenerative disorders have been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. Pharmaceutical agents which reduce mitochondrial dysfunction may provide therapeutic benefit by protecting neurons at risk. In the current study we have investigated the effects of dexpramipexole ((6R)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-N6-propyl-2,6-benzothiazole-diamine), a drug currently under clinical study in ALS patients and a putative mitochondria-targeted neuroprotectant. Mitochondria isolated from proteasome-inhibitor-injected rat brain had large or intermediate-level multiconductance channel activity not present in controls; dexpramipexole inhibited this activity. Dexpramipexole was cytoprotective over a concentration range that represented the EC80-100 for the effects on the conductances, suggesting that full inhibition may be required for significant cytoprotection. To focus on the relationship of dexpramipexole to cell bioenergetics, recordings were made from submitochondrial vesicles enriched in complex V (SMVs). Control SMVs were leaky in response to stimulus voltage, and currents were attenuated in a concentration-dependent manner by application of ATP or dexpramipexole. Dexpramipexole enhanced the rate of ATP hydrolysis and synthesis by complex V in a concentration-dependent manner and maintained ATP production in cultured hippocampal neurons and SHSY5Y cells. Using two methods, the Seahorse respirometry system and an oxygen sensor that detects oxygen flux in single neurons, we determined that dexpramipexole decreases cellular oxygen use, consistent with the effect on inhibiting inner membrane proton leak. Removal of F1 from SMVs eliminated the effects of dexpramipexole (but not ATP) on the inhibition of conductance, and significantly attenuated binding of 14C-dexpramipexole. Dexpramipexole also eliminated the switch from mitochondrial to glycolytic respiratory parameters elicited by treatment of cultured cells with PSI. These data suggest that an increase in efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation produced by dexpramipexole may result from inhibition of complex V leak conductance, enhancing the survivability of neurons.

Functional reconstitution of mammalian ‘chloride intracellular channels’ CLIC1, CLIC4 and CLIC5 reveals differential regulation by cytoskeletal actin

Chloride intracellular channels (CLICs) are soluble, signal peptide-less proteins that are distantly related to Omega-type glutathione-S-transferases. Although some CLICs bypass the classical secretory pathway and autoinsert into cell membranes to form ion channels, their cellular roles remain unclear. Many CLICs are strongly associated with cytoskeletal proteins, but the role of these associations is not known. In this study, we incorporated purified, recombinant mammalian CLIC1, CLIC4 and (for the first time) CLIC5 into planar lipid bilayers, and tested the hypothesis that the channels are regulated by actin. CLIC5 formed multiconductance channels that were almost equally permeable to Na(+), K(+) and Cl(-), suggesting that the 'CLIC' nomenclature may need to be revised. CLIC1 and CLIC5, but not CLIC4, were strongly and reversibly inhibited (or inactivated) by 'cytosolic' F-actin in the absence of any other protein. This inhibition effect on channels could be reversed by using cytochalasin to disrupt the F-actin. We suggest that actin-regulated membrane CLICs could modify solute transport at key stages during cellular events such as apoptosis, cell and organelle division and fusion, cell-volume regulation, and cell movement.

The mechanism of channel formation by alamethicin as viewed by molecular dynamics simulations.

Alamethicin is a 20-residue channel-forming peptide that forms a stable amphipathic alpha-helix in membrane and membrane-mimetic environments. This helix contains a kink induced by a central Gly-X-X-Pro sequence motif. Alamethicin channels are activated by a cis positive transbilayer voltage. Channel activation is suggested to correspond to voltage-induced insertion of alamethicin helices in the bilayer. Alamethicin forms multi-conductance channels in lipid bilayers. These channels are formed by parallel bundles of transmembrane helices surrounding a central pore. A change in the number of helices per bundle switches the single channel conductance level. Molecular dynamics simulations of alamethicin in a number of different environments have been used to explore its channel-forming properties. These simulations include: (i) alamethicin in solution in water and in methanol; (ii) a single alamethicin helix at the surface of a phosphatidylcholine bilayer; (iii) single alamethicin helices spanning a phosphatidylcholine bilayer; and (iv) channels formed by bundles of 5, 6, 7 or 8 alamethicin helices spanning a phosphatidylcholine bilayer. The total simulation time is c. 30 ns. Thus, these simulations provide a set of dynamic snapshots of a possible mechanism of channel formation by this peptide.

Zinc-Dependent Multi-Conductance Channel Activity in Mitochondria Isolated from Ischemic Brain

Transient global ischemia is a neuronal insult that induces delayed cell death. A hallmark event in the early post-ischemic period is enhanced permeability of mitochondrial membranes. The precise mechanisms by which mitochondrial function is disrupted are, as yet, unclear. Here we show that global ischemia promotes alterations in mitochondrial membrane contact points, a rise in intramitochondrial Zn2+, and activation of large, multi-conductance channels in mitochondrial outer membranes by 1 h after insult. Mitochondrial channel activity was associated with enhanced protease activity and proteolytic cleavage of BCL-xL to generate its pro-death counterpart, deltaN-BCL-xL. The findings implicate deltaN-BCL-xL in large, multi-conductance channel activity. Consistent with this, large channel activity was mimicked by introduction of recombinant deltaN-BCL-xL to control mitochondria and blocked by introduction of a functional BCL-xL antibody to post-ischemic mitochondria via the patch pipette. Channel activity was also inhibited by nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, indicative of a role for the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) of the outer mitochondrial membrane. In vivo administration of the membrane-impermeant Zn2+ chelator CaEDTA before ischemia or in vitro application of the membrane-permeant Zn2+ chelator tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine attenuated channel activity, suggesting a requirement for Zn2+. These findings reveal a novel mechanism by which ischemic insults disrupt the functional integrity of the outer mitochondrial membrane and implicate deltaN-BCL-xL and VDAC in the large, Zn2+-dependent mitochondrial channels observed in post-ischemic hippocampal mitochondria.

Exposure to Hypoxia Rapidly Induces Mitochondrial Channel Activity within a Living Synapse

One of the earliest effects of hypoxia on neuronal function is to produce a run-down of synaptic transmission, and more prolonged hypoxia results in neuronal death. An increase in the permeability of the outer mitochondrial membrane, controlled by BCL-2 family proteins, occurs in response to stimuli that trigger cell death. By patch clamping mitochondrial membranes inside the presynaptic terminal of a squid giant synapse, we have now found that several minutes of hypoxia trigger the opening of large multiconductance channels. The channel activity is induced concurrently with the attenuation of synaptic responses that occurs under hypoxic conditions. Hypoxia-induced channels are inhibited by NADH, an agent that inhibits large conductance channels produced by a pro-apoptotic fragment of BCL-xL in these synaptic mitochondria. The appearance of hypoxia-induced channels was also prevented by the caspase/cysteine protease inhibitor benzyloxycarbonyl-VAD-fluoromethyl ketone (Z-VAD-fmk), which inhibits proteolysis of BCL-xL during hypoxia. Both NADH and Z-VAD-fmk reduced significantly the rate of decline of synaptic responses during hypoxia. Our results indicate that an increase in outer mitochondrial channel activity is a very early event in the response of neurons to hypoxia and suggest that this increase in activity may contribute to the decline in synaptic function during hypoxia.

Proapoptotic N-truncated BCL-xL protein activates endogenous mitochondrial channels in living synaptic terminals.

Neuronal death is often preceded by functional alterations at nerve terminals. Anti- and proapoptotic BCL-2 family proteins not only regulate the neuronal death pathway but also affect excitability of healthy neurons. We found that exposure of squid stellate ganglia to hypoxia, a death stimulus for neurons, causes a cysteine protease-dependent loss of full-length antiapoptotic BCL-xL, similar to previous findings in mammalian cells. Therefore, to determine the direct effect of the naturally occurring proapoptotic cleavage product of BCL-xL on mitochondria, recombinant N-truncated BCL-xL was applied to mitochondria inside the squid presynaptic terminal and to purified mitochondria isolated from yeast. N-truncated BCL-xL rapidly induced large multi-conductance channels with a maximal conductance significantly larger than those produced by full-length BCL-xL. This activity required the hydrophobic C terminus and the BH3 domain of BCL-xL. Moreover, N-truncated BCL-xL failed to produce any channel activity when applied to plasma membranes, suggesting that a component of the mitochondrial membrane is necessary for its actions. Consistent with this idea, the large channels induced by N-truncated BCL-xL are inhibited by NADH and require the presence of VDAC, a voltage-dependent anion channel present in the outer mitochondrial membrane. These observations suggest that the mitochondrial channels specific to full-length and N-truncated BCL-xL contribute to their opposite effects on synaptic transmission, and are consistent with their opposite effects on the cell death pathway.

Modulation of Synaptic Transmission by the BCL-2 Family Protein BCL-xL

BCL-2 family proteins are known to regulate cell death during development by influencing the permeability of mitochondrial membranes. The anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family protein BCL-xL is highly expressed in the adult brain and localizes to mitochondria in the presynaptic terminal of the adult squid stellate ganglion. Application of recombinant BCL-xL through a patch pipette to mitochondria inside the giant presynaptic terminal triggered multiconductance channel activity in mitochondrial membranes. Furthermore, injection of full-length BCL-xL protein into the presynaptic terminal enhanced postsynaptic responses and enhanced the rate of recovery from synaptic depression, whereas a recombinant pro-apoptotic cleavage product of BCL-xL attenuated postsynaptic responses. The effect of BCL-xL on synaptic responses persisted in the presence of a blocker of mitochondrial calcium uptake and was mimicked by injection of ATP into the terminal. These studies indicate that the permeability of outer mitochondrial membranes influences synaptic transmission, and they raise the possibility that modulation of mitochondrial conductance by BCL-2 family proteins affects synaptic stability.

PH-modulation of chloride channels from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of skeletal muscle.

The understanding of the role of cytoplasmic pH in modulating sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) ion channels involved in Ca2+ regulation is important for the understanding of the function of normal and adversely affected muscles. The dependency of the SR small chloride (SCl) channel from rabbit skeletal muscle on cytoplasmic pH (pHcis) and luminal pH (pHtrans) was investigated using the lipid bilayer-vesicle fusion technique. Low pHcis 6.75-4.28 modifies the operational mode of this multiconductance channel (conductance levels between 5 and 75 pS). At pHcis 7.26-7.37 the channel mode is dominated by the conductance and kinetics of the main conductance state (65-75 pS) whereas at low pHcis 6.75-4.28 the channel mode is dominated by the conductance and kinetics of subconductance states (5-40 pS). Similarly, low pHtrans 4.07, but not pHtrans 6.28, modified the activity of SCl channels. The effects of low pHcis are pronounced at 10(-3) and 10(-4) M [Ca2+]cis but are not apparent at 10(-5) M [Ca2+]cis, where the subconductances of the channel are already prominent. Low pHcis-induced mode shift in the SCl channel activity is due to modification of the channel proteins that cause the uncoupling of the subconductance states. The results in this study suggest that low pHcis can modify the functional properties of the skeletal SR ion channels and hence contribute, at least partly, to the malfunction in the contraction-relaxation mechanism in skeletal muscle under low cytoplasmic pH levels.

Mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier can be reversibly converted into a large channel by Ca2+.

Single-channel current measurements of excised patches with reconstituted purified mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) indicates the presence of a large low cation selective (PK+/PCl- = 4.3 +/- 0.6) channel. The channel conductance has multiple sublevels and varies from 300 to 600 pS. It has low probability of current fluctuations at Vhold up to 80-100 mV of both signs and is reversibly gated at Vhold > 150 mV. The opening of the channel is Ca(2+)-dependent (1 mM Ca2+) and can be reversibly closed on removal of Ca2+. It is strongly pH dependent and closes completely at pHex 5.2. The AAC-specific inhibitor bongkrekate inhibits the channel partially and completely in combination with ADP, whereas carboxyatractylate did not affect the conductance. The effects of these AAC-specific ligands prove that the channel activity belongs to AAC. The AAC-linked conductance can clearly be differentiated from the porin channel, rarely detected in our preparations. The properties of the AAC-linked channel coincide with the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MTP), which is also affected by the AAC ligands [Hunter, D. R., & Haworth, R. A. (1979) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 195, 453-459] and resembles the mitochondrial "multiconductance channel" [Kinnally, K. W., Campo, M. L., & Tedeschi, H. T. (1989) J. Bioenerg. Biomembr. 21, 497-506] or "megachannel" [Petronilli, V., Szabo, I., & Zoratti, M. (1989) FEBS Lett. 259, 137-143]. Therefore we conclude that the AAC, when converted into a large unselective channel, is a key component in the MTP and thus is involved in the ischemia-reperfusion damage and cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations. The channel opening in AAC is proposed to be caused by binding of Ca2+ to the cardiolipin, tightly bound to AAC, thus releasing positive charges within the AAC which open the gate.

The barrel-stave model as applied to alamethicin and its analogs reevaluated

Alamethicin and its analogs from cation selective, multi-conductance channels in lipid bilayers. The conductance levels have been thought to be due to a barrel-stave structure where conducting pores (barrels) are formed by the self-assembly of a variable number of alpha-helical rods (staves). The conductance transitions were then interpreted as the addition or deletion of peptide monomers from the pore-forming complex (Sansom, M.S. 1991. Prog. Biophys. Mol. Biol. 55:139-235). Initially, pore conductances were calculated from that expected of right circular cylinders of "bulk" electrolyte. More recent theories also included the access resistance of the electrolyte outside the pore. However, they all consistently overestimated the observed conductances. The reason for the discrepancy is presented here. Previous theories ignored the effects of ion concentration gradients near the pore. Hence, they only held in the limit of small bilayer potentials (< 25 mV) and so would overestimate measurements that typically used much larger potentials (> 100 mV). This theoretical flaw is corrected by using Läuger's theory of diffusion-limited ion flow (Läuger, P. 1976. Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 455:493-509). Thus, including the effects of ion concentration gradients results in a considerable improvement in predicting pore conductances. It is found that: 1) the effects of ion concentration gradients must be included in the barrel-stave model for it to apply to the available data; 2) previously published explanations for the discrepancy between the model and the data, namely the "distorted bundle" and the "head-to-tail aggregate" hypotheses are not necessary (reviewed by Sansom, 1991).

Voltage activation of heart inner mitochondrial membrane channels.

The patch clamp records obtained from mitoplast membranes prepared in the presence of a calcium chelator generally lack channel activity. However, multiconductance channel (MCC) activity can be induced by membrane potentials above +/- 60 mV [Kinnally et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 176, 1183-1188 (1991)]. Once activated, the MCC activity persists at all voltages. The present report characterizes the activation by voltage of multiconductance channels of rat heart inner mitochondrial membranes using patch-clamping. In some membrane patches, the size of single current transitions progressively increases with time upon application of voltage. The inhibitor cyclosporin has also been found to decrease channel conductance in steps. The results suggest that voltage-induced effects which are inhibited by cyclosporin A are likely to involve either an increase in effective pore diameter or the assembly of low-conductance units. In activated patches, we have found at high membrane potentials (e.g., 130 mV) changes in conductance as high as 5 nS occurring in large steps (up to 2.7 nS). These were generally preceded by a smaller transition. Similar results were obtained less frequently at lower voltages. These results can be explained on the assumption that once assembled the channels may act in unison.

Selective effect of inhibitors on inner mitochondrial membrane channels

The effect of amphiphilic cationic drugs on the channel activity of the mitochondrial inner membrane was examined with patch-clamp techniques. The therapeutic drugs amiodarone, propranolol and quinine reduced the probability of being open for the multiconductance channel (MCC) activity (levels from 30 pS to over I nS). While amiodarone decreased the probability of being open for the voltage dependent ∼ 100 pS channel, it increased the conductance 42 ± 20% (mean ± SD, n = 6) with no significant change in mean open time. Similar results were obtained with propranolol. These data indicate that the ∼ 100 pS channel is distinct from MCC activity.

Calcium modulation of mitochondrial inner membrane channel activity

Protocols were defined that enable patch-clamp studies of the ∼107 pS voltage dependent channel and a class of activity we refer to as MCC (multiconductance channel) which is characterized by multiple levels and transitions as high as 1 to 1.5 nS. If free calcium was kept at 10 −7 M or lower during mitochondrial isolation, no activity was observed at low voltage (±60 mV). If free calcium levels were higher, MCC activity was observed in about 96% of the patches. The observation of ∼ 107 pS channel was enhanced from 2% to 68% of patches by washing isolated mitoplasts (mitochondria stripped of outer membrane) with EGTA. Increasing matrix calcium from 10 −9 to 10 −5 M decreased the probability of opening for the MCC and ∼107 pS activities.

Noise and single channels activated by excitatory amino acids in rat cerebellar granule neurones.

1. Glutamate-receptor ion channels in rat cerebellar granule cells maintained in explant cultures have been investigated with patch-clamp methods. Properties of these channels were determined from noise analysis of whole-cell currents and from noise and single-channel currents recorded in outside-out membrane patches. 2. Glutamate (10-20 microM) evoked two types of response. Some granule cells gave small inward currents accompanied by clear increases in current noise ('large noise' responses), whereas other cells gave larger inward currents and small noise increases ('small noise' responses). 3. A mean single-channel conductance (gamma) of 46.6 pS was estimated for glutamate from four 'large noise' cells. A mean gamma value of 8.4 pS was estimated for seven other 'large noise' cells. The results suggest that in these latter cells glutamate activated both large (approximately equal to 50 pS) and small conductance (approximately equal to 140 fS) channels. 4. Applications of aspartate (10-30 microM) or N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA, 10-30 microM) produced small inward currents and large increases in noise; gamma noise = 48.5 pS (aspartate) and 46.7 pS (NMDA). 5. Large single-channel currents were evoked by glutamate, aspartate and NMDA in outside-out patches. The mean conductance values obtained for the largest amplitude openings were: gamma(glutamate) = 49.5 pS, gamma(aspartate) = 51.5 pS, and gamma(NMDA) = 53.0 pS. For each agonist, these 50 pS openings comprised 75-85% of the completely resolved currents in each patch. Openings to 40 and 30 pS conductance levels accounted for 10-15% and 3-7% of the total, and the presence of apparently direct transitions between these levels and the 50 pS level suggests they are sublevels of the same multi-conductance channels. 6. A mean channel conductance of 22.9 pS was estimated from noise evoked by quisqualate (10-30 microM). Single-channel currents were examined in four patches. In two, quisqualate evoked predominantly small currents of two amplitudes, gamma = 8.4 pS and 16.5 pS; some 50 pS openings were also present. In the other two patches, most openings were 50 pS events. 7. Granule cells gave inward currents to kainate (10-30 microM), and a mean conductance of 3.1 pS was estimated from kainate noise. In patches in which aspartate or NMDA produced mainly 50 pS openings, more than 74% of the single-channel currents evoked by kainate were of smaller amplitude, with mean conductances of gamma = 8.1 and 15.1 pS.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
