Lack of mitochondrial topoisomerase I (TOP1mt) impairs liver regeneration.

چکیده
The liver has an exceptional replicative capacity following partial hepatectomy or chemical injuries. Cellular proliferation requires increased production of energy and essential metabolites, which critically depend on the mitochondria. To determine whether Top1mt, the vertebrate mitochondrial topoisomerase, is involved in this process, we studied liver regeneration after carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration. TOP1mt knockout (KO) mice showed a marked reduction in regeneration and hepatocyte proliferation. The hepatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) failed to increase during recovery from CCl4 exposure. Reduced glutathione was also depleted, indicating increased reactive oxygen species (ROS). Steady-state levels of ATP, O2 consumption, mtDNA, and mitochondrial mass were also reduced in primary hepatocytes from CCl4-treated KO mice. To further test whether Top1mt acted by enabling mtDNA regeneration, we tested TOP1mt KO fibroblasts and human colon carcinoma HCT116 cells and measured mtDNA after 3-d treatment with ethidium bromide. Both types of TOP1mt knockout cells showed defective mtDNA regeneration following mtDNA depletion. Our study demonstrates that Top1mt is required for normal mtDNA homeostasis and for linking mtDNA expansion with hepatocyte proliferation.

Mitochondrial Topoisomerase I is Critical for Mitochondrial Integrity and Cellular Energy Metabolism
BACKGROUND Mitochondria contain their own DNA genome (mtDNA), as well as specific DNA replication and protein synthesis machineries. Relaxation of the circular, double-stranded mtDNA relies on the presence of topoisomerase activity. Three different topoisomerases have been identified in mitochondria: Top1mt, Top3α and a truncated form of Top2β. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The present study...
متن کاملPoisoning of mitochondrial topoisomerase I by lamellarin D.
Lamellarin D (Lam-D) is a hexacyclic pyrole alkaloid isolated from marine invertebrates, whose biologic properties have been attributed to mitochondrial targeting. Mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA), and the only specific mitochondrial topoisomerase in vertebrates is mitochondrial topoisomerase I (Top1mt). Here, we show that Top1mt is a direct mitochondrial target of Lam-D. In vitro Lam...
متن کاملAdaptation of topoisomerase I paralogs to nuclear and mitochondrial DNA
Topoisomerase I is essential for DNA metabolism in nuclei and mitochondria. In yeast, a single topoisomerase I gene provides for both organelles. In vertebrates, topoisomerase I is divided into nuclear and mitochondrial paralogs (Top1 and Top1mt). To assess the meaning of this gene duplication, we targeted Top1 to mitochondria or Top1mt to nuclei. Overexpression in the fitting organelle served ...

متن کاملMitochondrial topoisomerase I ( Top 1 mt ) is a novel limiting factor of doxorubicin
Purpose: Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents. However, up to 30% of the patients treated with DOX suffer from congestive heart failure. The mechanism of DOX cardiotoxicity is likely multifactorial and most importantly, the genetic factors predisposing to DOX cardiotoxicity are unknown. Based on the fact that mtDNA lesions and mitochondrial dysfunctions have be...
