Cardiolipin and OPA1 Team up for Methamphetamine-Induced Locomotor Activity by Promoting Neuronal Mitochondrial Fusion in the Nucleus Accumbens of Mice.
ACS Chemical Neuroscience 2023 May 4
Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles with coordinated cycles of fission and fusion occurring continuously to satisfy the energy demands in the complex architecture of neurons. How mitochondria contribute to addicted drug-induced adaptable mitochondrial networks and neuroplasticity remains largely unknown. Through liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based lipidomics, we first analyzed the alteration of the mitochondrial lipidome of three mouse brain areas in methamphetamine (METH)-induced locomotor activity and conditioned place preference. The results showed that METH remodeled the mitochondrial lipidome of the hippocampus, nucleus accumbens (NAc), and striatum in both models. Notably, mitochondrial hallmark lipid cardiolipin (CL) was specifically increased in the NAc in METH-induced hyperlocomotor activity, which was accompanied by an elongated giant mitochondrial morphology. Moreover, METH significantly boosted mitochondrial respiration and ATP generation as well as the copy number of mitochondrial genome DNA in the NAc. By screening the expressions of mitochondrial dynamin-related proteins, we found that repeated METH significantly upregulated the expression of long-form optic atrophy type 1 (L-OPA1) and enhanced the interaction of L-OPA1 with CL, which may promote mitochondrial fusion in the NAc. On the contrary, neuronal OPA1 depletion in the NAc not only recovered the dysregulated mitochondrial morphology and synaptic vesicle distribution induced by METH but also attenuated the psychomotor effect of METH. Collectively, upregulated CL and OPA1 cooperate to mediate METH-induced adaptation of neuronal mitochondrial dynamics in the NAc, which correlates with the psychomotor effect of METH. These findings propose a potential therapeutic approach for METH addiction by inhibiting neuronal mitochondrial fusion.
