Abstract

Rationale: Mitochondrial Ca 2+ uptake is essential for the bioenergetic feedback response through stimulation of Krebs cycle dehydrogenases. Close association of mitochondria to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) may explain efficient mitochondrial Ca 2+ uptake despite low Ca 2+ affinity of the mitochondrial Ca 2+ uniporter. However, the existence of such mitochondrial Ca 2+ microdomains and their functional role are presently unresolved. Mitofusin (Mfn) 1 and 2 mediate mitochondrial outer membrane fusion, whereas Mfn2 but not Mfn1 tethers endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria in noncardiac cells. Objective: To elucidate roles for Mfn1 and 2 in SR-mitochondrial tethering, Ca 2+ signaling, and bioenergetic regulation in cardiac myocytes. Methods and Results: Fruit fly heart tubes deficient of the Drosophila Mfn ortholog MARF had increased contraction-associated and caffeine-sensitive Ca 2+ release, suggesting a role for Mfn in SR Ca 2+ handling. Whereas cardiac-specific Mfn1 ablation had no effects on murine heart function or Ca 2+ cycling, Mfn2 deficiency decreased cardiomyocyte SR-mitochondrial contact length by 30% and reduced the content of SR-associated proteins in mitochondria-associated membranes. This was associated with decreased mitochondrial Ca 2+ uptake (despite unchanged mitochondrial membrane potential) but increased steady-state and caffeine-induced SR Ca 2+ release. Accordingly, Ca 2+ -induced stimulation of Krebs cycle dehydrogenases during β-adrenergic stimulation was hampered in Mfn2-KO but not Mfn1-KO myocytes, evidenced by oxidation of the redox states of NAD(P)H/NAD(P) + and FADH 2 /FAD. Conclusions: Physical tethering of SR and mitochondria via Mfn2 is essential for normal interorganelle Ca 2+ signaling in the myocardium, consistent with a requirement for SR-mitochondrial Ca 2+ signaling through microdomains in the cardiomyocyte bioenergetic feedback response to physiological stress.

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.
