A Connection between the Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore, Autophagy, and Cerebral Amyloidogenesis

Abstract: In a drug reprofiling attempt, we explored novel neuroprotective properties of 4-azasteroids by synthesizing chemical affinity tags capturing adenine nucleotide translocator-1, as a potential target. Dutasteride inhibits the mitochondrial transition pore and induces an increase of autophagosomal structures in human cell lines. In vivo, a surprising reduction of the beta-amyloid plaque load in a model for cerebral amyloidosis appears to connect release of neurotoxic peptides, mitochondrial apoptosis and autopha… Show more

“…86 There are also a small number of reports correlating the MPTP with autophagy. [87][88][89][90] Additionally, mitochondrial Ca 2+ release after membrane potential collapse could activate autophagy as a result of increased cytosolic Ca 2+ . 91 With the ability of mitochondria to sequester cytosolic Ca 2+ and in doing so regulate the onset of autophagy, one could hypothesize that mitochondrial Ca 2+ may influence the elimination of dysfunctional mitochondria.…”

“…The reality of current pharmaceuticals out in the market, however, includes a significant segment of successful drugs which have low selectivities and affinities and multiple targets (24) where the exact modes of action are far from clear. Given, for example, the complex and polyetiological molecular biological background of central nervous system disorders, functional genomic and in particular proteomic profiling of efficacy models (25,26) increasingly contribute to drug development (27)(28)(29)(30). The enormous functional flexibility of many protein targets results in crosstalk and pleiotropy, generating combinatorial effects and cascades of non-linear cellular functions.…”

“…2 and 6) we analyzed whether the impairment of autophagy observed in absence of TG2 could determine the accumulation of undigested mitochondrial proteins in the cytoplasm, as recently reported. 31 Data antibodies were from Jackson Immunoresearch Labs. Earle's balanced salt solution (EBSS) (E2888), rapamycin (R0395), 2-deoxy-D-glucose (D6134), bafilomycin A1 (B1793), NH 4 Cl (A0171) and acridine orange (A8097) were obtained from Sigma.…”
