Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder,
affecting dorsal root ganglia (DRG), cerebellar dentate nuclei and heart. It is
caused by a GAA repeat expansion mutation within the frataxin gene (FXN). This
impedes FXN transcription resulting in a progressive decrease of the
mitochondrial protein, frataxin. Increased oxidative stress leading to a chronic
depletion of endogenous antioxidants affects the survival of the cells and causes
neurodegeneration. In particular, cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs) show a
significant increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation and
lower level of reduced glutathione (GSH). In FRDA, one of the major pathways of
oxidant scavengers, the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway, is defective. Previous studies
on FRDA-like CGNs showed that the reduced level of frataxin and the oxidative
stress induce mitochondrial impairments. By triggering the Nrf2 endogenous
pathway pharmacologically we determined whether this could promote mitochondrial
fitness and counteract oxidative stress. In this work, we sought to investigate
the beneficial effect of a promising Nrf2-inducer, omaveloxolone (omav), in CGNs
from two FRDA mouse models, KIKO and YG8R, and human fibroblasts from patients.
We found that CGNs from both KIKO and YG8R presented Complex I deficiency and
that omav was able to restore substrate availability and Complex I activity. This
was also confirmed in human primary fibroblasts from FRDA patients. Although
fibroblasts are not the major tissue affected, we found that they show
significant differences recapitulating the disease; this is therefore an
important tool to investigate patients' pathophysiology. Interestingly, we found
that patient fibroblasts had an increased level of endogenous lipid peroxidation
and mitochondrial ROS (mROS), and lower GSH at rest. Omav was able to reverse
this phenotype, protecting the cells against oxidative stress. By stimulating the
cells with hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) and looking for potential mitochondrial
pathophysiology, we found that fibroblasts could not maintain their mitochondrial
membrane potential (??(m)). Remarkably, omav was protective to mitochondrial
depolarization, promoting mitochondrial respiration and preventing cell death.
Our results show that omav promotes Complex I activity and protect cells from
oxidative stress. Omav could, therefore, be used as a novel therapeutic drug to
ameliorate the pathophysiology of FRDA.
