Abstract

ABSTRACTThe mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt)1 is a cytoprotective signaling pathway triggered by mitochondrial dysfunction. Activation of the UPRmt upregulates nuclear-encoded mitochondrial genes, including those for chaperones, proteases, and antioxidants, as well as glycolysis, to restore proteostasis and cell energetics. Activating transcription factor 5 (ATF5), a protein with both mitochondrial and nuclear targeting sequences, is proposed to mediate mammalian UPRmt signaling. Since proteostasis and bioenergetics are important in the response of organs such as the heart to injury, we hypothesized that pharmacologic UPRmt activation may be cardioprotective against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury and that such protection would require ATF5. Using a perfused heart IR injury model in wild-type and global Atf5−/− mice, we found that in-vivo administration of the UPRmt inducers oligomycin or doxycycline 6 h prior to ex-vivo IR injury was cardioprotective. Such protection was absent in hearts from Atf5−/− mice, and no protection was observed with acute ex-vivo cardiac administration of doxycycline. Loss of ATF5 also did not alter baseline IR injury (without UPRmt induction). Cardiac gene expression analysis by RNA-Seq revealed mild induction of numerous genes in an ATF5-dependent manner, which may be important for cardioprotection. Analysis of hearts by qPCR showed that oligomycin at 6 h significantly induced genes encoding ATF5 and several known UPRmt-linked proteins. We conclude that ATF5 is required for cardioprotection induced by drugs that activate the UPRmt.
