Abstract

Inositol pyrophosphates, such as 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (IP7), are generated by a family of inositol hexakisphosphate kinases (IP6Ks), of which IP6K2 has been implicated in various cellular functions including neuroprotection. Absence of IP6K2 causes impairment of oxidative phosphorylation regulated by creatine kinase-B. In the present study, we show that IP6K2 is involved in attenuation of PINK1-mediated mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) in the brain. Up-regulation of dynamin-related protein (Drp-1), as well as increased expression of mitochondrial biogenesis markers (PGC1-α and NRF-1) in the cerebella of IP6K2-deleted mice (IP6K2-knockout), point to the involvement of IP6K2 in the regulation of mitochondrial fission. Knockdown of IP6K2 also leads to augmented glycolysis, potentially as a compensatory mechanism for decreased mitochondrial respiration. Overexpressing IP6K2 as well as IP6K2-kinase dead mutant in IP6K2-knockdown N2A cells reverses the expression of mitophagy markers, demonstrating that IP6K2-induced mitoprotection is catalytically/kinase independent. IP6K2 supplementation in K2-PINK1 double-knockdown N2A cells fails to reverse the expression of the mitophagic marker, LC3-II, indicating that the mitoprotective effect of IP6K2 is dependent on PINK1. Overall, our study reveals a key neuroprotective role of IP6K2 in the prevention of PINK1-mediated mitophagy in the brain.

  • PD-related genes, like Ip6k2, were not concentrated within a cluster of regions but rather distributed across the choroid plexus, cerebellum, SVZ, and visual cortex with limited overlap.

    “In contrast, PD-related genes, like the neuroprotective gene Ip6k2 (Nagpal et al., 2022) (Figure 6I), were not concentrated within a cluster of regions but rather distributed across the choroid plexus, cerebellum, SVZ, and visual cortex with limited overlap (Figure 6C).”

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.
