  • As a widely acknowledged environmental pollutant, lead (Pb) exhibits neurological toxicity primarily due to the vulnerability of neural system. It is suggested that Pb could perturb mitochondrial function, triggering the following disturbance of cellular homeostasis. Here, we focused on the role of mitochondrial dynamics in Pb-induced cell damage. Pb exposure enhanced mitochondrial fragmentation and elevated p-Drp1 (s616) level in a reactive oxygen species (ROS) dependent manner, leading to cell death and energy shortage. By applying metformin, an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator, these impairments could be alleviated via activation of AMPK, validated by experiments of pharmacological inhibition of AMPK. Further investigation confirmed that nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor managing antioxidative function, and its downstream antioxidant detoxifying enzyme were activated by metformin, resulting in the inhibition of the Pb-caused oxidative stress. Moreover, Nrf2 mediated the protection of metformin against mitochondrial fragmentation induced by Pb exposure, while knockdown of Nrf2 abrogated the protective effect. Finally, the treatment of Mdivi-1, a mitochondrial fission inhibitor, reversed Pb-triggered cell death, revealing that excessive mitochondrial fission is detrimental. To conclude, metformin could ameliorate Pb-induced mitochondrial fragmentation via antioxidative effects originated from AMPK/Nrf2 pathway activation, promoting energy supply and cell survival.
