N2 - Inositol pyrophosphates, such as 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (IP7), are generated by a family of inositol hexakisphosphate kinases (IP6Ks), of which IP6K2 has been implicated in various cellular functions including neuroprotection. Absence of IP6K2 causes impairment of oxidative phosphorylation regulated by creatine kinase-B. In the present study, we show that IP6K2 is involved in attenuation of PINK1-mediated mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) in the brain. Up-regulation of dynamin-related protein (Drp-1), as well as increased expression of mitochondrial biogenesis markers (PGC1-α and NRF-1) in the cerebella of IP6K2-deleted mice (IP6K2-knockout), point to the involvement of IP6K2 in the regulation of mitochondrial fission. Knockdown of IP6K2 also leads to augmented glycolysis, potentially as a compensatory mechanism for decreased mitochondrial respiration. Overexpressing IP6K2 as well as IP6K2-kinase dead mutant in IP6K2-knockdown N2A cells reverses the expression of mitophagy markers, demonstrating that IP6K2-induced mitoprotection is catalytically/kinase independent. IP6K2 supplementation in K2-PINK1 double-knockdown N2A cells fails to reverse the expression of the mitophagic marker, LC3-II, indicating that the mitoprotective effect of IP6K2 is dependent on PINK1. Overall, our study reveals a key neuroprotective role of IP6K2 in the prevention of PINK1-mediated mitophagy in the brain.
