The increased mitochondrial DNA damage leads to altered functional capacities of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. A previous study showed the increased autophagy in RPE cells caused by low concentrations of rotenone, a selective inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I. However, the mechanism by which autophagy regulates RPE cell death is still unclear. In the present study, we examined the mechanism underlying the regulation of RPE cell death through the inhibition of mitochondrial complex I. We report herein that rotenone induced mitotic catastrophe (MC) in RPE cells. We further observed an increased level of autophagy in the RPE cells undergoing MC (RPE-MC cells). Importantly, autophagy inhibition induced nonapoptotic cell death in RPE-MC cells. These findings indicate that autophagy has a pivotal role in the survival of RPE-MC cells. We next observed PINK1 accumulation in the mitochondrial membrane and parkin translocation into the mitochondria from the cytosol in the rotenone-treated RPE-MC cells, which indicates that increased mitophagy accompanies MC in ARPE-19 cells. Noticeably, the mitophagy also contributed to the cytoprotection of RPE-MC cells. Although there might be a significant gap in the roles of autophagy and mitophagy in the RPE cells in vivo, our in vitro study suggests that autophagy and mitophagy presumably prevent the RPE-MC cells from plunging into cell death, resulting in the prevention of RPE cell loss.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.

D001343 Autophagy The segregation and degradation of various cytoplasmic constituents via engulfment by MULTIVESICULAR BODIES; VACUOLES; or AUTOPHAGOSOMES and their digestion by LYSOSOMES. It plays an important role in BIOLOGICAL METAMORPHOSIS and in the removal of bone by OSTEOCLASTS. Defective autophagy is associated with various diseases, including NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES and cancer.

D042967 Electron Transport Complex I A flavoprotein and iron sulfur-containing oxidoreductase complex that catalyzes the conversion of UBIQUINONE to ubiquinol. In MITOCHONDRIA the complex also couples its reaction to the transport of PROTONS across the internal mitochondrial membrane. The NADH DEHYDROGENASE component of the complex can be isolated and is listed as EC 1.6.99.3.

D055213 Retinal Pigment Epithelium The single layer of pigment-containing epithelial cells in the RETINA, situated closely to the tips (outer segments) of the RETINAL PHOTORECEPTOR CELLS. These epithelial cells are macroglia that perform essential functions for the photoreceptor cells, such as in nutrient transport, phagocytosis of the shed photoreceptor membranes, and ensuring retinal attachment.
