Abstract

Mitochondria-to-nucleus communication, known as retrograde signaling, is important to adjust the nuclear gene expression in response to organelle dysfunction. Among the transcription factors described to respond to mitochondrial stress, CHOP-10 is activated by respiratory chain inhibition, mitochondrial accumulation of unfolded proteins and mtDNA mutations. In this study, we show that altered/impaired expression of mtDNA induces CHOP-10 expression in a signaling pathway that depends on the eIF2α/ATF4 axis of the integrated stress response rather than on the mitochondrial unfolded protein response.

Keywords: C/EBP homologous protein 10 (CHOP-10); Doxycycline; Integrated stress response (ISR); Mitochondria unfolded protein response (mtUPR); Mitochondrial dysfunction; mtDNA depletion.
