Mitochondrial permeability transition triggers the release of mtDNA fragments

Abstract: Fragments of mitochondrial DNA are released from mitochondria upon opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. Cyclosporin A, an inhibitor of pore opening, completely prevented the release of mitochondrial fragments. Induction of mitochondrial permeability transition and subsequent release of the fragments of mitochondrial DNA could be one cause of genomic instability in the cell.

“…As neuronal membrane integrity is preserved, the question arises of how mtDNA and Cyt c, coming from the mitochondrial matrix or the intermembrane space, respectively, can exit the cell. Several pieces of evidence indicate that mitochondria are central sensors for axonal degenerative stimuli (62), and the release of mtDNA fragments from PTP in isolated mitochondria has been documented (63). Here, the mitochondrial PTP was found to be involved in the exit of both mtDNA and Cyt c from mitochondria, with a significant reduction in the presence of the PTP desensitizing molecule cyclosporin A.…”

“…The translocation of mtDNA from mitochondria to the cytosol was reported in Patrushev et al (118). The mechanism of mtDNA release includes induction of mitochondrial permeability transition pore as cyclosporine A, a potent inhibitor of pore opening, inhibits translocation of mtDNA from mitochondria to the cytosol (70,107,118,119).…”

“…The mechanism of mtDNA release includes induction of mitochondrial permeability transition pore as cyclosporine A, a potent inhibitor of pore opening, inhibits translocation of mtDNA from mitochondria to the cytosol (70,107,118,119). The release of nucleic acids into the extracellular space has been thought to be related to the cell death, including apoptosis and necrosis (139).…”

“…This idea is consistent with several observations: (i) ion-conducting properties of the mitochondrial polyP/Ca 2ϩ /PHB channel mimic properties of PT pore seen by patch-clamp of native membranes and in experiments on intact mitochondria (see discussion in ref. 6; (ii) polyP/Ca 2ϩ /PHB complex formation requires elevated concentrations of Ca 2ϩ (22), a condition characteristic of Ca 2ϩ -induced PT; (iii) PT development is favored by several membrane proteins (7), as is formation of polyP/Ca 2ϩ /PHB channels in bacteria (23); (iv) both PT in mitochondria and polyP/Ca 2ϩ /PHB complex formation in bacteria are associated with passage of DNA across membranes (24,25); and finally, (v) our inability to detect PT in polyP-deficient cells, even under strong Ca 2ϩ overload, suggests that polyP probably plays a direct, rather than a regulatory, role.…”
