Abstract

The impact of mitochondrial protein acetylation status on neuronal function and vulnerability to neurological disorders is unknown. Here we show that the mitochondrial protein deacetylase SIRT3 mediates adaptive responses of neurons to bioenergetic, oxidative, and excitatory stress. Cortical neurons lacking SIRT3 exhibit heightened sensitivity to glutamate-induced calcium overload and excitotoxicity and oxidative and mitochondrial stress; AAV-mediated Sirt3 gene delivery restores neuronal stress resistance. In models relevant to Huntington's disease and epilepsy, Sirt3(-/-) mice exhibit increased vulnerability of striatal and hippocampal neurons, respectively. SIRT3 deficiency results in hyperacetylation of several mitochondrial proteins, including superoxide dismutase 2 and cyclophilin D. Running wheel exercise increases the expression of Sirt3 in hippocampal neurons, which is mediated by excitatory glutamatergic neurotransmission and is essential for mitochondrial protein acetylation homeostasis and the neuroprotective effects of running. Our findings suggest that SIRT3 plays pivotal roles in adaptive responses of neurons to physiological challenges and resistance to degeneration.

  • SIRT1 consumes NAD+ to regulate glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and mitochondrial homeostasis via balancing mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy and adaptive neuronal responses to exercise and metabolic/excitatory challenges.

    “For example, SIRT1 consumes NAD+ to regulate glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and mitochondrial homeostasis via the balance between mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy and adaptive responses of neurons to exercise and metabolic/excitatory challenges (Bonkowski and Sinclair, 2016; Cheng et al., 2016; Fang, 2019).”

  • In neurons, SIRT3 mediates adaptive responses to exercise, intermittent fasting, and excitatory challenges and helps prevent noise-induced hearing loss and spiral ganglia neurite degeneration.

    “In neurons, SIRT3 mediates the adaptive responses of neurons to exercise, intermittent fasting, and excitatory challenges and helps prevent noise-induced hearing loss and spiral ganglia neurite degeneration (Brown et al., 2014; Cheng et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2019).”

    From NAD+ in Brain Aging and Neurodegenerative Disorders (2019) · cites this paper as Cheng et al., 2016

  • SIRT3 attenuates cell death after excitotoxic stress and mediates the protective effect of exercise against such stress, possibly via deacetylation of cyclophilin D.

    “Similarly, SIRT3 function has been shown to attenuate cell death after excitotoxic stress, and mediates the protective effect of exercise against such stress ((Cheng et al. 2016)), possibly via deacetylation of cyclophilin D ((Cheng et al. 2016),(Amigo et al. 2017)).”
  • SIRT3 plays a key role in adaptive responses to stress.

    “This fits with the larger paradigm of SIRT3 playing a key role in adaptive responses to stress ((Cheng et al. 2016))”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
