Mitophagy, which is a conserved cellular process for selectively removing damaged or unwanted mitochondria, is critical for mitochondrial quality control and the maintenance of normal cellular physiology. However, the precise mechanisms underlying mitophagy remain largely unknown. Prior studies on mitophagy focused on the events in the mitochondrial outer membrane. PHB2 (prohibitin 2), which is a highly conserved membrane scaffold protein, was recently identified as a novel inner membrane mitophagy receptor that mediates mitophagy. Here, we report a new signaling pathway for PHB2-mediated mitophagy. Upon mitochondrial membrane depolarization or misfolded protein aggregation, PHB2 depletion destabilizes PINK1 in the mitochondria, which blocks the mitochondrial recruitment of PRKN/Parkin, ubiquitin and OPTN (optineurin), leading to an inhibition of mitophagy. In addition, PHB2 overexpression directly induces PRKN recruitment to the mitochondria. Moreover, PHB2-mediated mitophagy is dependent on the mitochondrial inner membrane protease PARL, which interacts with PHB2 and is activated upon PHB2 depletion. Furthermore, PGAM5, which is processed by PARL, participates in PHB2-mediated PINK1 stabilization. Finally, a ligand of PHB proteins that we synthesized, called FL3, was found to strongly inhibit PHB2-mediated mitophagy and to effectively block cancer cell growth and energy production at nanomolar concentrations. Thus, our findings reveal that the PHB2-PARL-PGAM5-PINK1 axis is a novel pathway of PHB2-mediated mitophagy and that targeting PHB2 with the chemical compound FL3 is a promising strategy for cancer therapy.Abbreviations: AIFM1: apoptosis inducing factor mitochondria associated 1; ATP5F1A/ATP5A1: ATP synthase F1 subunit alpha; BAF: bafilomycin A1; CALCOCO2/NDP52: calcium binding and coiled-coil domain 2; CCCP: chemical reagent carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazine; FL3: flavaglines compound 3; HSPD1/HSP60: heat shock protein family D (Hsp60) member 1; LC3B/MAP1LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MEF: mouse embryo fibroblasts; MPP: mitochondrial-processing peptidase; MT-CO2/COX2: mitochondrially encoded cytochrome c oxidase II; MTS: mitochondrial targeting sequence; OA: oligomycin and antimycin A; OPTN: optineurin; OTC: ornithine carbamoyltransferase; PARL: presenilin associated rhomboid like; PBS: phosphate-buffered saline; PGAM5: PGAM family member 5, mitochondrial serine/threonine protein phosphatase; PHB: prohibitin; PHB2: prohibitin 2; PINK1: PTEN induced kinase 1; PRKN/Parkin: parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; Roc-A: rocaglamide A; TOMM20: translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20; TUBB: tubulin beta class I.

Mitochondrial quality control, which is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis, has been considered to be achieved exclusively through mitophagy. Here we report an alternative mitochondrial quality control pathway mediated by extracellular mitochondria release. By performing time-lapse confocal imaging on a stable cell line with fluorescent-labeled mitochondria, we observed release of mitochondria from cells into the extracellular space. Correlative light-electron microscopy revealed that majority of the extracellular mitochondria are in free form and, on rare occasions, some are enclosed in membrane-surrounded vesicles. Rotenone- and carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone-induced mitochondrial quality impairment promotes the extracellular release of depolarized mitochondria. Overexpression of PRKN (parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase), which has a pivotal role in mitophagy regulation, suppresses the extracellular mitochondria release under basal and stress condition, whereas its knockdown exacerbates it. Correspondingly, overexpression of PRKN-independent mitophagy regulators, BNIP3 (BCL2 interacting protein 3) and BNIP3L/NIX (BCL2 interacting protein 3 like), suppress extracellular mitochondria release. Autophagy-deficient cell lines show elevated extracellular mitochondria release. These results imply that perturbation of mitophagy pathway prompts mitochondria expulsion. Presence of mitochondrial protein can also be detected in mouse sera. Sera of PRKN-deficient mice contain higher level of mitochondrial protein compared to that of wild-type mice. More importantly, fibroblasts and cerebrospinal fluid samples from Parkinson disease patients carrying loss-of-function PRKN mutations show increased extracellular mitochondria compared to control subjects, providing evidence in a clinical context. Taken together, our findings suggest that extracellular mitochondria release is a comparable yet distinct quality control pathway from conventional mitophagy.
