Telomere dysfunction induces metabolic and mitochondrial compromise
Open accessAbstract
Telomere dysfunction activates p53-mediated cellular growth arrest, senescence and apoptosis to drive progressive atrophy and functional decline in high-turnover tissues. The broader adverse impact of telomere dysfunction across many tissues including more quiescent systems prompted transcriptomic network analyses to identify common mechanisms operative in haematopoietic stem cells, heart and liver. These unbiased studies revealed profound repression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, coactivator 1 alpha and beta (PGC-1α and PGC-1β, also known as Ppargc1a and Ppargc1b, respectively) and the downstream network in mice null for either telomerase reverse transcriptase (Tert) or telomerase RNA component (Terc) genes. Consistent with PGCs as master regulators of mitochondrial physiology and metabolism, telomere dysfunction is associated with impaired mitochondrial biogenesis and function, decreased gluconeogenesis, cardiomyopathy, and increased reactive oxygen species. In the setting of telomere dysfunction, enforced Tert or PGC-1α expression or germline deletion of p53 (also known as Trp53) substantially restores PGC network expression, mitochondrial respiration, cardiac function and gluconeogenesis. We demonstrate that telomere dysfunction activates p53 which in turn binds and represses PGC-1α and PGC-1β promoters, thereby forging a direct link between telomere and mitochondrial biology. We propose that this telomere–p53–PGC axis contributes to organ and metabolic failure and to diminishing organismal fitness in the setting of telomere dysfunction.

TL;DR
Telomere dysfunction in mice represses PGC-1α and PGC-1β through p53, impairing mitochondrial function and metabolism. This telomere–p53–PGC pathway links telomere attrition to cardiomyopathy, defective gluconeogenesis, and stem cell decline.
Key findings
- Transcriptomic profiling of haematopoietic stem cells, heart, and liver from G4 Tert−/− mice showed broad repression of the PGC-1α/β network, including oxidative phosphorylation, oxidative defence, gluconeogenesis, fatty acid/cholesterol synthesis, and β-oxidation genes; RT–qPCR and western blot confirmed lower PGC-1α/β and targets such as NRF-1, ERRα, PPARα, and TFAM.
- Mitochondrial consequences included reduced mitochondrial DNA content and density, lower complex I and IV activity, decreased state III respiration, reduced uncoupled respiration in G4 liver and heart (31% and 25%, respectively), lower ATP synthesis/content, and increased ROS/H2O2 production.
- G4 mice developed dilated cardiomyopathy by 15 months, showed a 30% drop in plasma glucose after 12 h fasting, and had impaired HSC reconstitution; adenoviral Tert partially restored PGC targets and raised glucose by 30% in vivo and 80% in cultured G4 hepatocytes, while adenoviral PGC-1α increased state III and IV respiration in G4 liver mitochondria by 3.1-fold and 3.2-fold.
- p53 deficiency restored PGC expression and mitochondrial DNA copy number; p53–ER activation repressed PGCs and reduced mitochondrial mass by 10–15%; p53 bound PGC-1α/β promoters and repressed reporters fivefold; p53 loss improved fractional shortening by 30% in a doxorubicin cardiomyopathy protocol.
Methods
- Used Tert−/− mice across WT, G1, and G4 generations, Terc−/− G2 mice, and p53−/− backgrounds; profiled HSCs, liver, and heart by microarray with SAM or fold-change analysis and Ingenuity pathway analysis, followed by RT–qPCR and western blot.
- Assessed mitochondrial and metabolic phenotypes via qPCR-based mtDNA quantification, HPLC ATP measurement, Seahorse XF24 and Clark electrode respiration, ROS and carbonylated protein assays, fasting glucose, hepatocyte gluconeogenesis, echocardiography, and competitive transplantation.
- Mechanistic tests included adenoviral Tert or PGC-1α delivery, p53–ER MEF activation, PGC promoter luciferase reporters, anti-p53 chromatin immunoprecipitation, and doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy.
Limitations
- No dedicated limitations section is present; the authors state that the relative contributions of DNA damage checkpoints versus metabolic/mitochondrial dysfunction require further study, and that p53-mediated PGC repression is context-dependent.
- Evidence comes from mouse genetic models and cell systems, with no human data; germline p53 deletion and adenoviral overexpression may introduce pleiotropic or context-specific effects.
- The ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine did not rescue defective HSC repopulation, indicating increased ROS is not central to HSC failure, although its role in other phenotypes is not fully resolved.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
