Abstract

Mitochondria play many important biological roles, including ATP production, lipid biogenesis, ROS regulation, and calcium clearance. In neurons, the mitochondrion is an essential organelle for metabolism and calcium homeostasis. Moreover, mitochondria are extremely dynamic and able to divide, fuse, and move along microtubule tracks to ensure their distribution to the neuronal periphery. Mitochondrial dysfunction and altered mitochondrial dynamics are observed in a wide range of conditions, from impaired neuronal development to various neurodegenerative diseases. Novel imaging techniques and genetic tools provide unprecedented access to the physiological roles of mitochondria by visualizing mitochondrial trafficking, morphological dynamics, ATP generation, and ultrastructure. Recent studies using these new techniques have unveiled the influence of mitochondria on axon branching, synaptic function, calcium regulation with the ER, glial cell function, neurogenesis, and neuronal repair. This review provides an overview of the crucial roles played by mitochondria in the CNS in physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

Introduction

The regulation and maintenance of cellular metabolism are a critical challenge for the nervous system. The metabolic cost of performing and maintaining basic neural functions is disproportionately high, primarily due to the highly complex morphology of neurons, their finely regulated transmembrane ion gradients, and the constant activity of billions of synapses. It is classically estimated that the human brain is one of the most energy-taxing organs, accounting for 20% of the total energy expenditure of the body (Kety, 1957; Mink et al., 1981; Attwell and Laughlin, 2001), with even higher metabolic requirements during development (Goyal et al., 2014; Kuzawa et al., 2014). The brain's metabolic homeostasis is heavily regulated and involves close integration of metabolism in neurons and glia, which together form a metabolic unit to meet the energetic needs of neurons and neural processing (Bélanger et al., 2011; Magistretti and Allaman, 2015, 2018). Neural circuits rely heavily on mitochondrial respiration, although other metabolic pathways contribute to neuronal bioenergetics as well, including neuronal glycolysis (Zala et al., 2013; Rangaraju et al., 2014; Pathak et al., 2015; Jang et al., 2016; Ashrafi et al., 2017; Díaz-García et al., 2017).

Recent studies using innovative techniques, such as optogenetics and real-time metabolic imaging, have uncovered pleiotropic roles for mitochondria spanning from neurodevelopment to neurodegeneration. These organelles, mainly acknowledged as the cell's powerhouse for producing ATP via oxidative phosphorylation, also play essential roles in calcium (Ca2+) clearance, lipid biogenesis, and ROS regulation. A vast literature has focused on the role of mitochondria in the brain, but recent technological advances have allowed researchers to address the specific core features of mitochondrial biology involved at various stages of a neuron's life. For instance, metabolic rewiring is increasingly recognized as a major player in the activation of quiescent neural stem cells and their proliferation. Later in development, dendritogenesis and axon outgrowth and branching are directly affected by the regulated transport, fusion–fission, and anchoring of mitochondria. In mature neurons, mitochondria contribute to synaptic transmission and plasticity through local ATP supply and Ca2+ buffering. Other brain cell types, and in particular glial cells, also supply key energy metabolites to neurons for powering synapses, and their apparent heightened metabolic plasticity renders them ideally suited to regulate multiple forms of coupling not only with neurons but also with the vasculature. It is therefore not surprising that mitochondrial dysfunction and altered mitochondrial dynamics are widely observed in conditions ranging from impaired neuronal development to various neurodegenerative diseases. Yet we have only scratched the surface of the mechanisms underlying the complex interdependence between mitochondrial and neuronal functions.

Specific aspects of neuronal bioenergetics and mitochondrial biology have been covered in detail in excellent recent reviews (Mattson et al., 2008; Chen and Chan, 2009; Schon and Przedborski, 2011; Harris et al., 2012; Sheng and Cai, 2012; Burté et al., 2015; Khacho et al., 2019). In this review, we discuss recent advances in understanding the broad range of mitochondrial functions in the nervous system during health and disease, and provide a framework for future research leading to exciting novel directions. In particular, we focus on work discussed in an accompanying Mini-Symposium presented at the 2019 Annual Meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.

The roles of mitochondria in neural circuit development

From mitochondria positioning to local metabolic function in developing neurites

Neurogenesis, and the subsequent morphogenetic cascade that leads to the formation of a fully mature neuron that is integrated into a functional neural circuit, is accompanied by intense metabolic remodeling. During the transition from progenitor cells, which rely largely on glycolysis to meet their energy needs, to neurons, which are mostly dependent on oxidative metabolism, the proper localization of mitochondria becomes a critical determinant. Although the importance of mitochondrial transport has long been appreciated, the precise nature of the signals that attract and localize mitochondria to particular sites in the neuron (a process referred to as “local mitochondria capture”) remains largely undefined. Therefore, crucial questions in neurobiology are how mitochondria are recruited locally and what is the exact purpose they serve in this transition from stem cell to neuron.

In all cell types, mitochondria are extremely dynamic organelles that travel long distances along microtubules via forward molecular motors of the kinesin family and reverse molecular motors of the dynein family (Misgeld and Schwarz, 2017; Sheng, 2017; Gumy and Hoogenraad, 2018; Sweeney and Holzbaur, 2018). Because of the large distances spanned by neurites, cargos and organelles can take hours or even days to reach the most distal ends of a neuron, such as the axons' terminal branches, even with the fastest forms of molecular transport. Some of the basic processes controlling the anterograde and retrograde movement of mitochondria have been recently revealed, yet our understanding of the mechanisms that ensure mitochondrial distribution and turnover across complex neuronal geometries are still rudimentary. For example, it is now clear that mitochondrial positioning in developing axonal terminals is required to sculpt the axonal architecture. One protein involved in mitochondrial positioning is the mitochondrial anchor protein Syntaphilin, which is recruited to mitochondria to ensure their docking locally (Kang et al., 2008). Manipulations of Syntaphilin levels leading to exaggerated mitochondrial motility or immobilization cause a decrease or an increase in axonal branching, respectively (Courchet et al., 2013). Disruption of a kinase pathway composed of the polarity kinase LKB1 and the AMPK-related kinase NUAK1 also dramatically increases mitochondria motility in the axon, preventing their dwelling at immature presynaptic sites by an unknown molecular mechanism (Courchet et al., 2013). The net result is a decrease of terminal branch complexity both in vitro and in vivo (Fig. 1).

Mitochondria play key roles in energy metabolism and Ca2+ regulation in various cell types of the brain. In neurons, mitochondria regulate axonal and dendritic development, axonal regeneration, and synaptic function. Glial mitochondria provide metabolites to neurons, and energy metabolism is regulated by mitochondrial morphological dynamics. In neural stem and progenitor cells, cell fate can be determined by mitochondrial fusion–fission and function. Many neurodegenerative diseases are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.

How do mitochondria know when and where to stop their movement? Experiments conducted in vitro have suggested that mitochondrial distribution along the axon is in part controlled by local changes of Ca2+ concentration. This involves the Ca2+-binding GTPases Miro1 and 2, which reside on the outer mitochondrial membrane and, together with Milton/TRAKs proteins, mediate mitochondria binding to motor proteins (MacAskill et al., 2009). The current model suggests that local Ca2+ rise at synapses induces conformational changes in Miro1 resulting in mitochondrial stalling, either by causing detachment from microtubules or by preventing the motor-adaptor interaction (MacAskill et al., 2009; Wang and Schwarz, 2009). While this model provides some mechanistic control over mitochondrial trafficking/immobilization in an activity (Ca2+)-dependent manner, recent reports argue against this being the primary mechanism regulating mitochondrial trafficking in neurons in vivo. Imaging experiments performed on either the intact mouse cortex or retina raise the intriguing possibility that additional mechanisms may significantly contribute to mitochondrial positioning once neurons have progressed through development and reached maturation, as exemplified by a sharp drop in motility and a virtual lack of Ca2+ sensitivity of the mitochondrial population (Faits et al., 2016; Lewis et al., 2016; Wehnekamp et al., 2019).

What is the significance of mitochondrial distribution and positioning in fueling local neuronal mechanisms? As a result of their complex morphology, neurons have evolved specialized mechanisms within their subcompartments (dendrites, axons, dendritic spines, and axonal terminals) to ensure stringent regulation of basic cellular functions. One such compartmentalized mechanism, local protein synthesis, is observed in both the axonal and somatodendritic compartments and is critical for neurite development, maintenance, synaptic plasticity, and memory formation (Rangaraju et al., 2017, 2019). Protein synthesis requires a tremendous amount of energy, and little was known about how this need is met locally in dendrites and spines until recently. Recent studies combining conventional and superresolution microscopy coupled with methods to experimentally manipulate local mitochondrial function have demonstrated that spatially stable dendritic mitochondrial compartments fuel local translation during synaptic plasticity within spatially confined boundaries (Rangaraju et al., 2019). These findings show that, in addition to the presence of localized translational machinery in dendrites, local compartments of energy exist to fuel local translation during synaptic plasticity (Fig. 2).

Neuronal mitochondria buffer Ca2+ and generate ATP at the presynapse and in dendrites, and they functionally interact with the ER via specialized contact sites. In dendrites, mitochondria show long and tubular shapes, and they provide the energy for local translation. They also regulate Ca2+ homeostasis together with the ER upon stimulation. In axons, short mitochondria provide ATP for maintaining SV pool size, and mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake controls presynaptic release properties.

Mitochondrial proteins are known to constitute a significant fraction of locally synthesized proteins in neurons. Transcriptomic analysis of the synaptic neuropil revealed that many of the dendritically localized mRNA transcripts encode mitochondrial proteins of nuclear origin (Miyashiro et al., 1994; Moccia et al., 2003; Zhong et al., 2006; Cajigas et al., 2012). Local mitochondrial protein synthesis has also been identified in axons (Shigeoka et al., 2016), and was shown to be important for mitochondrial morphology and membrane potential (Yoon et al., 2012; Cioni et al., 2019). Further studies will provide insights into the significance of these locally synthesized mitochondrial proteins in neuronal function and the relevance of mitochondrial function in local protein synthesis (Rossoll and Bassell, 2019).

Mitochondrial dynamics and the control of compartment-specific mitochondrial function

The morphology of a mitochondrion has been linked to its function, and regulation of this parameter is tightly controlled in many cell types (Picard et al., 2013; for review, see Liesa and Shirihai, 2013). Interestingly, cortical neurons display distinct mitochondrial morphology in their dendrites and axons (Popov et al., 2005; Chang and Reynolds, 2006; Dickey and Strack, 2011). In dendrites, mitochondria are elongated, overlapping with high density, whereas in axons, mitochondria are uniformly small, individual units localized to specific positions. This observation raises a number of intriguing questions: Is this important for neuronal development? Does it underlie the function of these distinct neuronal compartments? What are the molecular mechanisms controlling mitochondrial morphology in dendrites and axons?

Mitochondrial fission and fusion are the two major competing processes regulating mitochondrial morphology in the cell, and many of the proteins mediating these processes are conserved across species (Chen and Chan, 2009). In mammalian cells, mitochondrial fission occurs when the GTPase Drp1 is recruited from the cytosol to the outer mitochondrial membrane via one of the four known “receptors”: MFF, FIS1, MIEF1, and MIEF2 (Gandre-Babbe and van der Bliek, 2008; Otera et al., 2010; Losón et al., 2013; Osellame et al., 2016). Drp1-directed constriction, in conjunction with the cytoskeleton and endoplasmic reticulum, leads to scission of the mitochondria (De Vos et al., 2005; Hatch et al., 2016). Fusion, on the other hand, is mediated by two distinct families of GTPases at the outer and inner membrane: MFN1/2 and OPA1 (Chen et al., 2003; Lee et al., 2004).

Recent work showed that loss of Mitochondrial Fission Factor (MFF) activity, via shRNA knockdown, increases axonal mitochondrial length and occupancy without altering dendritic mitochondrial morphology or occupancy, demonstrating that MFF-mediated fission is the main driver of the small mitochondrial size observed in the axon (Lewis et al., 2018). This is surprising, given that MFF decorates both axonal and dendritic mitochondria, and it suggests that either MFF or Drp1 is differentially regulated in these compartments to give rise to the high level of fission observed in the axon. While much work will be needed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms controlling axonal fission, knockdown of MFF provided a tool to determine the role of mitochondrial size for axonal development and function.

Interestingly, reduced MFF-mediated fission did not affect axonal mitochondrial trafficking or positioning to presynaptic sites, nor did it reduce mitochondrial membrane potential or mitochondrial ATP levels. Instead, the increase in mitochondrial size led to enhanced presynaptic calcium buffering via mitochondrial calcium uniporter-dependent entry into the mitochondria following neuronal activity. This increased mitochondrial Ca2+ buffering reduced synaptic vesicle (SV) fusion and neurotransmitter release at presynaptic sites that contained mitochondria and reduced axonal branching in vivo. These results, in addition to previous work, demonstrate the importance of mitochondrial positioning and size in axonal development (Kwon et al., 2016; Lewis et al., 2016; Smit-Rigter et al., 2016; Vaccaro et al., 2017), and represent a possible mechanism for the regulation of neurotransmitter release at individual boutons along the same axon. Interestingly, mitochondrial positioning and size have also been implicated in dendritic development and maintenance, and spine dynamics (Li et al., 2004; Dickey and Strack, 2011; Faits et al., 2016; López-Doménech et al., 2016; Divakaruni et al., 2018).

Future directions lie in understanding how different neuronal subtypes coordinate the balance between mitochondrial fission and fusion to drive distinct compartmentalization within axons and dendrites, and how aging and neurodegeneration affect this balance leading to neuronal dysfunction.

Mitochondria as master regulators of synaptic function

Local ATP production and Ca2+ regulation to support synaptic function

Given the high energy demand of the brain, early studies sought to identify the neuronal mechanisms that account for most of its energy burden. Theoretical computations pointed to ionic homeostasis following action potential propagation as the largest energy consumer (Attwell and Laughlin, 2001; Harris et al., 2012). Various recently developed optical biosensors have enabled the experimental validation of these theoretical results through ATP measurements in subneuronal compartments, especially at synapses. The biosensors include FRET-based sensors, such as ATeam (Imamura et al., 2009); ratiometric sensors, such as Perceval (Berg et al., 2009; Tantama et al., 2013); single-wavelength sensors, such as iATPSnFR (Lobas et al., 2019); and luciferase-based luminescent sensors, such as Syn-ATP (Rangaraju et al., 2014). Syn-ATP provided the first experimental estimate on the energy burden of presynaptic function and demonstrated that most of the ATP is consumed during SV recycling at presynaptic terminals (Rangaraju et al., 2014). In contrast, what accounts for the ATP burden in postsynaptic compartments remains unclear, but protein synthesis-dependent synaptic plasticity is a contender (Rangaraju et al., 2019). The above study has opened up a new set of unexplored questions on the local metabolic demands and its regulation in synaptic function.

Because of the high energy costs of synaptic activity, the mechanisms that perform local ATP synthesis are of particular importance for synaptic function. The use of the previously discussed ATP biosensors in combination with pharmacological manipulations revealed that neuronal ATP generation is largely driven by the activity-dependent uptake of glucose, which is metabolized by both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, in presynaptic terminals (Rangaraju et al., 2014; Pathak et al., 2015; Ashrafi et al., 2017). Even brief perturbations in mitochondrial (or glycolytic) ATP synthesis result in insufficient SV recycling and subsequent defects in synaptic transmission. Accordingly, the presence or absence of mitochondria at presynaptic terminals results in ATP-dependent differences in SV release probabilities following multiple trains of stimulation (Sun et al., 2013). In dendritic spines, mitochondrial ATP synthesis, and not glycolysis, predominantly fuels protein synthesis-dependent synaptic plasticity (Rangaraju et al., 2019). Local perturbation of mitochondrial function abolishes both local protein synthesis and spine morphological plasticity. These studies underscore the importance of mitochondria in generating ATP at synapses. However, the molecular mechanisms that induce mitochondrial ATP synthesis in response to local synaptic activity are still relatively understudied.

Mitochondria also control synaptic Ca2+ homeostasis, which is critical for SV release. Recent studies using a genetically encoded Ca2+ indicator together with a pHluorin-based SV exocytosis sensor showed that mitochondria-free presynaptic terminals have higher presynaptic Ca2+ levels and SV release than mitochondria-occupied ones (Kwon et al., 2016; Vaccaro et al., 2017). Reduced mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake results in higher spontaneous and asynchronous SV release and impaired short-term plasticity (Gazit et al., 2016; Kwon et al., 2016). Overall, it is clear that both mitochondrial ATP production and Ca2+ clearance are important for synaptic transmission (Figs. 1, 2). Furthermore, previous studies showed that mitochondrial Ca2+ can promote ATP synthesis by activating multiple components of the TCA cycle and OXPHOS supercomplexes in many cell types, including in neurons (Jouaville et al., 1999; Kann and Kovács, 2007; Griffiths and Rutter, 2009; Llorente-Folch et al., 2013).

In the future, elucidating the molecular mechanisms of local ATP synthesis and Ca2+ handling by mitochondria within local neuronal compartments is warranted. It also remains to be investigated whether these mechanisms are specialized according to the particular needs of the local neuronal compartments.

Interorganelle contact sites and dendritic Ca2+ control

Mitochondria regulate cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels in conjunction with the ER. The ER is composed of a continuous lipid bilayer that stretches throughout the neuron (Lindsey and Ellisman, 1985; Terasaki et al., 1994; Cui-Wang et al., 2012) and even extends into the tips of spines as either a simple smooth ER tubule or a spine apparatus (Spacek and Harris, 1997; Holbro et al., 2009). In addition to its role as a platform for lipid synthesis and protein transport, the ER acts as a Ca2+ repository that releases Ca2+ to the cytoplasm in response to neuronal inputs that activate either inositol trisphosphate receptors or ryanodine receptors in the ER membrane. The released Ca2+ is required for neuronal maturation and synaptic plasticity (Miyata et al., 2000; Johenning et al., 2015; Lee et al., 2016). Importantly, mitochondria buffer the Ca2+ released from the ER via the mitochondrial calcium uniporter, which resides on the inner mitochondrial membrane. Because mitochondrial calcium uniporter allows Ca2+ uptake only when the outer mitochondrial membrane side is exposed to a high Ca2+ concentration, proximity to the ER is essential for mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake (Csordás et al., 2010; Giacomello et al., 2010).

The contact between mitochondria and ER (mitochondria-ER contact sites [MERCSs]) is one of the most prominent interorganelle contacts (Valm et al., 2017). Although MERCSs have been observed in synaptosomes since the 1980s (McGraw et al., 1980), high-throughput serial electron microscopy techniques have recently confirmed that the ER and mitochondria have extensive contacts throughout neurons (Wu et al., 2017; Lee et al., 2018). Recent identification of the mammalian ER-mitochondria tethering protein PDZD8 has enabled testing the functional roles of these contacts. Knockdown of PDZD8 drastically reduces mitochondrial uptake of Ca2+ after synaptically induced Ca2+ release from the ER. The net outcome of altered Ca2+ transfer between organelles is an upregulation of cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration in dendrites (Hirabayashi et al., 2017), suggesting that the extent of MERCSs can regulate cytoplasmic Ca2+ dynamics upon synaptic stimulation (Fig. 2).

In addition to Ca2+ transfer, MERCSs are implicated in a variety of cellular processes, such as membrane biogenesis, through the exchange of phospholipids between the mitochondria and ER (Csordás et al., 2018; Petrungaro and Kornmann, 2019). Dysregulation of MERCSs has been observed in mouse models of neurodegenerative diseases, and in patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's (Area-Gomez and Schon, 2016; Lee et al., 2018). Therefore, it is of particular interest to reveal the physiological roles of these contacts in neurons. However, to date, only a few studies have investigated the role of the MERCSs in neurons (Lim et al., 2015; Hirabayashi et al., 2017; Gómez-Suaga et al., 2019). Given that these observations are limited to in vitro studies, the roles of MERCSs in neurons in vivo in the context of neural circuit remain to be elucidated.

Mitochondrial dynamics in adult neurogenesis

In contrast to most regions in the adult brain, the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus is endowed with radial glia-like neural stem cells and progenitor cells (NSPCs) that give rise to new neurons throughout one's life (Ming and Song, 2011). The generation and maturation of new neurons are shaped by sensory inputs and experiences via the activity of local interneurons (Song et al., 2012; Yeh et al., 2018). This process ultimately promotes new neuron integration into the preexisting network (Bergami et al., 2015; Temprana et al., 2015; Alvarez et al., 2016) and has important implications for cognition (Toda and Gage, 2018). Mechanisms controlling the proliferative capacity of NSPCs, the survival of newly generated neurons, and ultimately their connectivity pattern play key roles in ensuring life-long neurogenesis.

While NSPCs of embryonic origin derive most of their energy from glycolysis (Khacho et al., 2016), recent work focused on NSPCs in the adult brain provides new evidence that mitochondria can regulate specific steps along this neurogenic lineage. In particular, changes in the structure and function of the mitochondrial network of adult NSPCs accompany or even instruct specific metabolic switches underlying the genesis of adult-born neurons and, possibly, their evolving connectivity. A complete ultrastructural reconstruction of a single radial glia-like neural stem cell revealed numerous mitochondria distributed throughout its apical processes, including those directly contacting local blood vessels (Moss et al., 2016). This suggests that mitochondrial positioning in NSPCs may play an important metabolic role in regulating stem cell maintenance and fate. In line with this notion, recent single-cell RNA sequencing studies suggest that mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation is central for the energy metabolism of adult NSPCs (Shin et al., 2015), particularly for controlling their activation state (Stoll et al., 2015; Knobloch et al., 2017). At the early stages of cell activation and ensuing proliferation, genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation are upregulated. This suggests that mitochondrial metabolism is important during the proliferative steps of adult hippocampal NSPCs leading to the production of new neurons (Shin et al., 2015; Beckervordersandforth et al., 2017). Yet the extent to which such functional gene expression changes are mirrored by remodeling the mitochondrial network during cell division and differentiation of a neuron is unclear.

Once generated, the young neurons pass through periods of significant morphological and functional plasticity before reaching complete maturity (Jahn and Bergami, 2018). While it is assumed that many of the principles that apply to the maturation of developmentally generated neurons, particularly with regard to mitochondrial dynamics and trafficking (Misgeld and Schwarz, 2017), also apply to adult-born hippocampal neurons, there is little evidence available. Nonetheless, we do know that the morphological development of adult-born neurons in vivo is accompanied by a substantial remodeling of mitochondrial networks and that normal dendritogenesis requires the GTPase Drp1 (Steib et al., 2014). While this evidence points to the significance of mitochondria in regulating morphological aspects of neuronal lineage progression, our current understanding of the underlying mechanisms is still rudimentary. In particular, it is not clear whether and how metabolic adaptation of the mitochondrial network architecture, for instance, via regulated fusion–fission dynamics and organelle positioning, contributes to synaptic maturation, establishment of connectivity, and plasticity in new neurons (Fig. 1).

Alteration of mitochondrial function and dynamics in neurodegeneration

Metabolic adaptation to mitochondrial dysfunction

As noted in previous sections, the mitochondrial network is continuously sculpted by coordinated mitochondrial fusion–fission dynamics in mammalian neurons. Regulated changes in the balance of these dynamics lead to more fragmented or elongated mitochondrial morphologies, and this is regarded as an important form of metabolic plasticity required to meet the evolving metabolic needs of cells (Mishra and Chan, 2016). Disrupted dynamics result in mitochondrial dysfunction, and such disruption is associated with neurodegeneration (Chen et al., 2007; Kageyama et al., 2012; Lee et al., 2012; Misko et al., 2012). Surprisingly, the precise metabolic consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction in neurons in vivo are unclear. In brain tissue, the ability to adapt cellular metabolism to challenging conditions is generally restricted to glia, given the central function of these cells in supplying energy metabolites to neurons for fueling synaptic transmission (Pellerin and Magistretti, 1994; Bélanger et al., 2011; Fünfschilling et al., 2012) and their competence in sustaining glycolytic metabolism for extended periods of time (Supplie et al., 2017). In disease, the metabolic plasticity of astrocytes is emphasized by their unique ability to reversibly adapt the structure of their mitochondrial network via regulated fusion–fission dynamics and to efficiently rewire their mitochondrial metabolism in vivo (Motori et al., 2013; Polyzos et al., 2019). In contrast, it is still unknown whether neurons exhibit similar metabolic plasticity in response to mitochondrial dysfunction in vivo and which pathways are primarily affected. Identifying potential tissue- and cell-specific pathways underlying metabolic rewiring in neurons may lead to specific interventions aimed at preventing neuronal death in many mitochondrial diseases (Fig. 1).

Mitochondria in neurodegeneration and repair

Given the complex morphology of neurons, and that they must essentially last for the entire lifespan of the organism, ensuring optimal distribution of mitochondria is critical for these cells. Thus, it is not surprising that numerous neurodegenerative diseases have been related to a defect in mitochondrial transport (Schon and Przedborski, 2011; Misgeld and Schwarz, 2017). For example, experimental mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis showed an impairment of mitochondrial transport in motor neurons expressing the disease-related SOD1 mutations (De Vos et al., 2007; Shi et al., 2010), whereas alteration of the PINK/Parkin pathways that regulate mitophagy by modulating mitochondrial transport has been linked to Parkinson's disease (Wang et al., 2011).

Mitochondrial dynamics are not only key to neurodegeneration but also to neuroregeneration. Some of the strongest evidence for the role of mitochondria in neuronal repair comes from the study in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) (Cartoni et al., 2016). RGC neurons extend their axon from the eye to their targets in the brain via the optic nerve and therefore can be specifically damaged surgically by nerve crush. These neurons can also be easily manipulated genetically by viral injection into the eye (a procedure called intravitreal injection). These characteristics have established RGCs as a formidable platform to study the mechanisms of axonal regeneration and neuroprotection (Park et al., 2008; Sun et al., 2011). A striking feature that makes these neurons especially relevant to study the role of mitochondria in degeneration and regeneration is their extreme sensitivity to mitochondrial dysfunction. This is highlighted by several mitochondria-related optic neuropathies characterized by a highly selective degeneration of RGCs leading to vision loss. For example, Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy is caused by mutations in genes of the mitochondrial DNA encoding one of the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunits, which impairs the function of complex I of the oxidative phosphorylation chain leading to the degeneration of RGCs exclusively (Wallace et al., 1999; Kirches, 2011; Wallace and Lott, 2017). Similarly, dominant optic atrophy is caused by mutations in the optic atrophy 1 protein (Opa1) that regulates mitochondrial fusion and cristae maintenance (Alexander et al., 2000; Olichon et al., 2006). Although in some subclasses of dominant optic atrophy the degeneration appears to affect other type of neurons (Amati-Bonneau et al., 2009), RGCs are the only cell type affected by degeneration in the vast majority of dominant optic atrophy patients.

While studying RGC degeneration and regeneration following optic nerve crush, Cartoni et al. (2016) reported that a mitochondrial outer membrane protein called Armadillo Repeat Containing X-Linked 1 (Armcx1) regulates mitochondrial transport in axons and its deletion suppresses the regeneration that normally occurs after optic nerve crush in animals with deletion of PTEN and SOCS3. Importantly, overexpression of Armcx1 promoted RGC axonal regeneration and neuroprotection and its localization to mitochondria was necessary for this process (Cartoni et al., 2016). This study and others in different systems (Han et al., 2016; Zhou et al., 2016) strongly suggest the regulation of mitochondrial distribution along axons as a key mechanism for neuronal repair.

The importance of mitochondrial distribution in RGC is not only restricted to injury. In intact adult optic nerve, mitochondria accumulate in the proximal part of the nerve, the optic nerve head, where unmyelinated RGC axons have left the retina (Minckler et al., 1976; Bristow et al., 2002; Barron et al., 2004). The epicenter of RGC axon degeneration in glaucoma is the optic nerve head, therefore warranting the study of this mitochondrial compartmentalization (Nickells et al., 2012). The function and regulatory mechanisms of the axonal mitochondria compartmentalization are unknown. However, the existence of this subcellular mitochondrial heterogeneity suggests that a specific population of mitochondria is sequestrated at this location to perform a specific function. This uneven mitochondrial distribution along RGC axons in the optic nerve constitutes one of the many challenges the mitochondrial transport machinery faces to ensure precise distribution of mitochondria.

In conclusion, mitochondrial function is required throughout a neuron's life, including birth, development, synaptic transmission, and repair. Mitochondrial ATP production and Ca2+ clearance are key regulators of synaptic function and proteostasis in neurons. Consequently, impaired mitochondrial transport, fusion–fission, and activity lead to abnormal neurite branching, synaptic dysfunction, degeneration, and reduced regeneration. Further studies using novel imaging techniques to measure core mitochondrial functions will enhance our understanding of the role of mitochondria in both physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
