Abstract:
:Cigarette smoke (CS) is known to cause mitochondrial dysfunction leading to cellular senescence in lung cells. We determined the mechanism of mitochondrial dysfunction by CS in lung epithelial cells. CS extract (CSE) treatment differentially affected mitochondrial function, such as membrane potential, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) and mitochrondrial mass as analyzed by FACS, and were associated with altered oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) protein levels (Complexes I-IV) in primary lung epithelial cells (SAEC and NHBE), and (complexes I and II) in BEAS2B cells. There were dose- and time-dependent changes in mitochondrial respiration (oxygen consumption rate parameters i.e. maximal respiration, ATP production and spare capacity, measured by the Seahorse analyzer) in control vs. CSE treated BEAS2B and NHBE/DHBE cells. Electron microscopy (EM) analysis revealed perinuclear clustering by localization and increased mitochondrial fragmentation by fragement length analysis. Immunoblot analysis revealed CS-mediated increase in Drp1 and decrease in Mfn2 levels that are involved in mitochondrial fission/fusion process. CSE treatment reduced Miro1 and Pink1 abundance that play a crucial role in the intercellular transfer mechanism and mitophagy process. Overall, these findings highlight the role of Miro1 in context of CS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in lung epithelial cells that may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory lung diseases.
