Resum
Aims: Mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation are at the core of axonal degeneration in several multifactorial neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. The transcriptional coregulator RIP140/NRIP1 (receptor-interacting protein 140) modulates these functions in liver and adipose tissue, but its role in the nervous system remains unexplored. Here, we investigated the impact of RIP140 in the Abcd1- mouse model of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), a genetic model of chronic axonopathy involving the convergence of redox imbalance, bioenergetic failure, and chronic inflammation. Methods and results: We provide evidence that RIP140 is modulated through a redox-dependent mechanism driven by very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), the levels of which are increased in X-ALD. Genetic inactivation of RIP140 prevented mitochondrial depletion and dysfunction, bioenergetic failure, inflammatory dysregulation, axonal degeneration and associated locomotor disabilities in vivo in X-ALD mouse models. Conclusions: Together, these findings show that aberrant overactivation of RIP140 promotes neurodegeneration in X-ALD, underscoring its potential as a therapeutic target for X-ALD and other neurodegenerative disorders that present with metabolic and inflammatory dyshomeostasis.
