ABSTRACT
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of nonapoptotic cell death mediated by lipid peroxidation, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple diseases. Subcellular organelles play pivotal roles in the regulation of ferroptosis, but the mechanisms underlying the contributions of the mitochondria remain poorly defined. Optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) is a mitochondrial dynamin-like GTPase that controls mitochondrial morphogenesis, fusion, and energetics. Here, we report that human and mouse cells lacking OPA1 are markedly resistant to ferroptosis. Reconstitution with OPA1 mutants demonstrates that ferroptosis sensitization requires the GTPase activity but is independent of OPA1-mediated mitochondrial fusion. Mechanistically, OPA1 confers susceptibility to ferroptosis by maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and function, which contributes both to the generation of mitochondrial lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) and suppression of an ATF4-mediated integrated stress response. Together, these results identify an OPA1-controlled mitochondrial axis of ferroptosis regulation and provide mechanistic insights for therapeutically manipulating this form of cell death in diseases.
