hnRNP R regulates mitochondrial movement and membrane potential in axons of motoneurons.
Neurobiology of Disease 2024 Februrary 25
Axonal mitochondria defects are early events in the pathogenesis of motoneuron disorders such as spinal muscular atrophy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The RNA-binding protein hnRNP R interacts with different motoneuron disease-related proteins such as SMN and TDP-43 and has important roles in axons of motoneurons, including axonal mRNA transport. However, whether hnRNP R also modulates axonal mitochondria is currently unknown. Here, we show that axonal mitochondria exhibit altered function and motility in hnRNP R-deficient motoneurons. Motoneurons lacking hnRNP R show decreased anterograde and increased retrograde transport of mitochondria in axons. Furthermore, hnRNP R-deficiency leads to mitochondrial hyperpolarization, caused by decreased complex I and reversed complex V activity within the respiratory chain. Taken together, our data indicate a role for hnRNP R in regulating transport and maintaining functionality of axonal mitochondria in motoneurons.
