Abstract

Graphic abstract

Numerous mitochondrial abnormalities are reported to result from excessive inflammation during endotoxemia. Prohibitin 2 (PHB2) and phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (Pgam5) have been associated with altered mitochondrial homeostasis in several cardiovascular diseases; however, their role in endotoxemia-related myocardial dysfunction has not been explored. Our experiments were aimed to evaluate the potential contribution of Pgam5 and PHB2 to endotoxemia-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiomyocytes, with a focus on two endogenous protective programs that sustain mitochondrial integrity, namely mitophagy and the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt). We found that PHB2 transgenic mice are resistant to endotoxemia-mediated myocardial depression and mitochondrial damage. Our assays indicated that PHB2 overexpression activates mitophagy and the UPRmt, which maintains mitochondrial metabolism, prevents oxidative stress injury, and enhances cardiomyocyte viability. Molecular analyses further showed that Pgam5 binds to and dephosphorylates PHB2, resulting in cytosolic translocation of mitochondrial PHB2. Silencing of Pgam5 or transfection of a phosphorylated PHB2 mutant in mouse HL-1 cardiomyocytes prevented the loss of mitochondrially-localized PHB2 and activated mitophagy and UPRmt in the presence of LPS. Notably, cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of Pgam5 in vivo attenuated LPS-mediated myocardial dysfunction and preserved cardiomyocyte viability. These findings suggest that Pgam5/PHB2 signaling and mitophagy/UPRmt are potential targets for the treatment of endotoxemia-related cardiac dysfunction.

Keywords: Pgam5, PHB2, endotoxemia-related cardiac dysfunction
