[Abstract] To maintain mitochondria homeostasis, mitochondria remove damaged or excess mitochondria by autophagy. Mitochondria fission and fusion process is the basis of mitophagy, and mitofusion-2 (MFN2) is involved in the process of regulating mitochondria fission and fusion. Mutations in MFN2 could cause mitochondria dysfunction and even lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth. This paper review recent research progress of MFN2 function and its effect on mitochondria autophagy and neurodegenerative disease, aiming at providing reference for further research in related fields.

線粒体为细胞正常生长代谢提供必需的能量,参与细胞众多的生理活动,例如:氧化磷酸化、三羧酸循环、脂肪酸代谢、糖异生、增殖、衰老、凋亡等。线粒体自噬对线粒体形态、数量和质量的调控起到重要作用,主要是通过自噬清除细胞内受损或多余的线粒体[1]。线粒体分裂融合是线粒体自噬的基础。线粒体融合过程包括线粒体外膜(OMM)融合和线粒体内膜(IMM)融合,在哺乳动物细胞中,MFN1/2参与线粒体外膜融合,OPA1参与线粒体内膜融合。线粒体分裂涉及的蛋白有Drp1、Fis1、MFF等。线粒体融合、分裂相关蛋白质亦参与线粒体自噬,分子突变可引起线粒体功能障碍,导致神经退行性疾病,如帕金森病、腓骨肌萎缩等[2]。
1 MFN1/2的结构和功能
1.1 MFN1/2的结构
线粒体融合蛋白在哺乳动物中分为两种,即MFN1和MFN2。MFN1由位于人3号染色体(3q26.33)上的18个外显子编码,741个氨基酸组成;MFN2由人1号染色体(1p36.22)上的20个外显子编码,757个氨基酸组成,两次跨线粒体外膜的线粒体外膜蛋白。MFN1和MFN2具有同源性,有约80%相似的结构相关序列[3]。MFN1/2结构大致分为氨基末端GTP酶区域、七肽重复结构域HR1、跨膜区域和七肽重复结构域HR2。GTP酶区域可连接水解GTP[4]。MFN1和MFN2在GTP酶活性上表现不同,MFN1有较高的GTP酶活性,而MFN2对GTP有较高的亲和力[5]。HR1区域具有干扰脂质双层结构诱导膜融合的作用[6]。HR2区域介导MFN1-MFN2或者MFN2-MFN2寡聚化,形成反式平行卷曲螺旋二聚体,将相邻的两个线粒体系链以维持线粒体网状结构[7]。GTP酶区域、HR2区域均暴露在胞质。 1.2 MFN2的生理功能
MFN2和MFN1共同维持线粒体网状结构,通过MFN1-MFN1相互作用实现有效的线粒体系链后[5],依赖GTP酶区域水解GTP和线粒体膜电位实现线粒体融合[8-9]。MFN2突变可阻碍线粒体融合,引起线粒体系链中间体累积[5],这提示线粒体系链依赖MFN1,而线粒体融合依赖MFN2。线粒体在MFN1敲除细胞中呈现均一的球状,在MFN2敲除细胞中则是大小不一的颗粒状[10]。
MFN2影响线粒体能量代谢。在L6E9肌管细胞中,MFN2表达量下调可引起线粒体膜电位降低,细胞耗氧量减少,葡萄糖氧化受到抑制[11]。MFN2下调可抑制OXPHOS复合物Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅴ亚基的表达,降低其酶活性[12]。心肌細胞中敲除MFN2,可通过阻碍萜类化合物的合成引起辅酶Q缺乏而影响线粒体氧化呼吸链[13]。由此可见,MFN2是线粒体三羧酸循环和氧化呼吸所必需的。
MFN2影响细胞葡萄糖水平。MFN2可干扰胰岛素信号传导,肝脏组织敲除MFN2后产生糖耐量下降、胰岛素抵抗的现象[14]。有研究[15]发现,MFN2上调可改善棕榈酸诱导的骨骼肌细胞胰岛素抵抗,MFN2敲低会促进氧化应激反应,增加活性氧(ROS)的产生,并增强磷酸化c-Jun氨基末端激酶(JNK)和活化胰岛素信号传导分子NF-κB。MFN2对维持细胞葡萄糖稳态、稳定胰岛素敏感性至关重要。
MFN2影响细胞增殖和凋亡。在B细胞淋巴瘤细胞系BJAB中,敲低内源性MFN2,发现细胞增殖速率上升,MFN2可通过N端与Raf-1、C端与Ras相互作用而抑制Ras-Raf-ERK信号传导通路,从而抑制细胞增殖[16]。在HeLa细胞中下调MFN2,可干扰自噬体和溶酶体融合,阻碍自噬降解过程,从而抑制细胞增殖[17]。通过探索MFN2与凋亡的关系,发现心肌细胞在氧化应激作用下,其MFN2水平增高,引起细胞凋亡[18],但MFN2下调亦可通过增强神经酰胺的通路引起心肌细胞凋亡[19]。由此推测,MFN2上调或者下调均可引起相同的细胞反应,但其涉及的机制可能不同,而在不同的细胞系中,MFN2可引起不同的细胞反应。MFN2是否存在维持细胞稳态的调节平衡点值得进一步研究。
MFN2参与构建内质网-线粒体连接膜[20]。内质网-线粒体连接膜通过MFN2调节线粒体形态、细胞器间Ca2+转运[21]、脂质运输、参与内质网应激和线粒体自噬。近期有研究[22]对MFN2在内质网-线粒体连接膜的系链作用持反对意见,即在不同细胞类型中,突变或消除MFN2反而增加内质网-线粒体间的偶联。因此,MFN2在内质网-线粒体连接膜中所发挥的具体作用仍需探讨。
2 MFN2与线粒体自噬
2.1 线粒体动态平衡与线粒体自噬
线粒体网状结构的维系有赖于分裂融合、自噬的生理活动。线粒体自噬是通过自噬清除受损或多余的线粒体,自噬体膜延伸包裹受损或多余的线粒体形成自噬小体,再与溶酶体融合形成自噬溶酶体降解内容物。ROS、缺氧、饥饿、细胞衰老的刺激条件可引起线粒体自噬[23]。线粒体自噬涉及分子机制中的PINK1-Parkin通路研究较多。PINK1是丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶,经过线粒体外膜复合物和线粒体内膜复合物转位,锚定于线粒体内膜。在正常的线粒体中,PINK1会被线粒体加工肽酶(MPP)和早老素相关菱形样蛋白(PARL)连续降解,但在膜电位下降的线粒体中,PINK1转位到线粒体内膜(IMM)受到抑制,使得PINK1在线粒体外膜处累积,PINK1与外膜转运酶(TOM)形成复合物,发生磷酸化。PINK1为Parkin的上游作用分子,Parkin为E3泛素连接酶。磷酸化的PINK1磷酸化Parkin的第175位和第217位苏氨酸,促进Parkin从胞浆移位到受损的线粒体,介导线粒体自噬的发生[24]。PINK1亦磷酸化泛素分子,PINK1-Parkin促进泛素与受损线粒体结合,进而被泛素结合自噬受体识别,进一步活化线粒体自噬途径[25]。
2.2 MFN2参与线粒体自噬
MFN2可影响线粒体形态动力学参与线粒体自噬。PINK1-Parkin可泛素化修饰MFN2,泛素化MFN2经蛋白酶体降解增多抑制了线粒体融合,导致线粒体断裂成颗粒状,促进线粒体自噬。
MFN2可直接参与线粒体自噬。MFN2是Parkin在线粒体上的底物,PINK1可磷酸化MFN2第111位苏氨酸和第442位丝氨酸,Parkin与磷酸化MFN2结合定位于线粒体,磷酸化MFN2亦可增强PINK1-Parkin泛素化MFN2的生物效应[26]。泛素化MFN2抑制线粒体融合,断裂的线粒体被自噬小泡包裹形成自噬体,与溶酶体融合降解。另外,在线粒体应激条件下,MFN2可被JNK磷酸化,引起Parkin泛素化MFN2,同时诱导Huwe1募集到线粒体,通过其BH3结构域与MFN2相互作用,增强MFN2的降解[27]。
MFN2可影响自噬体和溶酶体融合参与线粒体自噬。自噬体与溶酶体融合受阻可导致自噬体累积,阻碍自噬降解。在心肌细胞中敲除MFN2,可导致自噬体大量积累[28]。在神经元缺血/再灌注模型中,亦发现MFN2下调可通过抑制自噬体与溶酶体融合加剧缺血再灌注损伤,过表达MFN2可逆转自噬体累积的现象[29]。
MFN2可通过影响内质网-线粒体连接膜的系链参与线粒体自噬。PINK1-Parkin可通过磷酸化泛素化MFN2使MFN2复合物上的p97解体,破坏线粒体-内质网偶联结构,导致线粒体与内质网解离,从而促进线粒体自噬,加速线粒体降解[30]。
3 MFN2与神经退行性疾病
越来越多研究认为线粒体与神经退行性疾病密切相关,例如:帕金森病、腓骨肌萎缩。然而,MFN2是否与其发病机制相关呢?
3.1 帕金森病 帕金森病(PD)是以運动和精神改变为临床特征的神经退行性疾病。在特发性PD患者的黑质组织中,其MFN2表达降低,线粒体分裂呈增加的趋势,而在百草枯(PQ)诱导的PD模型中亦发现类似的变化,而过表达MFN2可阻断PQ引起的线粒体断裂,并抑制了多巴胺能神经元缺失[31]。MFN2是否参与到PD发病机制中?近期有研究[32]发现,MitoQ可通过激活过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ辅激活子1α(PGC-1α)以增强MFN2依赖的线粒体融合途径,进而保护6-羟基多巴胺(6-OHDA)诱导的PD模型中的多巴胺能神经元。由此推测,MFN2在PD中起到调节线粒体融合保护神经元的作用,但其涉及的机制仍需进一步探究。
3.2 腓骨肌萎缩
腓骨肌萎缩(CMT)是以远端肌肉萎缩和感觉丧失为临床特征的神经退行性疾病,分为脱髓鞘型(CMT1)和轴突型(CMT2)。在中国,MFN2突变在CMT2发病中占到18%,是最常见的病因[33],有常染色体显性遗传倾向。野生型MEF细胞中线粒体沿着细胞骨架正常顺向或逆向运动,但在MFN2KO MEF细胞中,线粒体融合障碍,断裂肿胀成球形,出现不协调运动。CMT2A患者大多可检测到MFN2蛋白错构,GTP酶区域约占50%,但不影响GTP酶结合水解GTP[34]。由此推测,CMT2A的线粒体融合受损有可能是涉及GTP酶区域的蛋白质之间相互作用引起,但仍需进一步研究。MFN2蛋白错构亦可发生在HR2区域[35],影响线粒体融合。有研究[36-37]设计微肽调节MFN2的HR1-HR1非活性状态转变到NR2-HR2活性状态,促进线粒体融合,逆转CMT2A中的线粒体融合障碍,这为治疗CMT2A提供了调节线粒体融合的治疗角度。
4 讨论与展望
近年来,关于MFN2的研究越来越多,逐渐发现MFN2参与了线粒体新陈代谢、线粒体自噬、MAMs的构成、细胞能量生成、信号传导、增殖凋亡等生理活动,对细胞的生长发育有着重要意义。MFN2异常可导致线粒体功能障碍并引起细胞代谢异常,甚至产生病理性改变,如2型糖尿病、肥胖等代谢性疾病、肿瘤、心脑血管疾病、神经退行性疾病等。然而,目前关于MFN2在各细胞生理活动、疾病发生发展中涉及的分子通路和具体作用机制的研究并不完善,仍有未知的领域等待探索。
