Mitochondria are essential for providing the energy necessary for neuronal function. Dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics has been linked with the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases. Dynamin related protein 1 (Drp1) participates in fission activity in the mitochondria, and post-translational modifications to Drp1 modulate complex mitochondrial dynamics. However, the regulation of Drp1 at the post-transcriptional level remains poorly understood. In this study, we found that the RNA-binding protein Hu antigen R (HuR) post-transcriptionally regulates Drp1 expression. HuR interacts with Drp1 mRNA at its 3′ untranslated region. Depletion of HuR reduces Drp1 expression, which leads to mitochondrial elongation in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. In contrast, ectopic expression of HuR enhances Drp1 expression, which promotes mitochondrial fragmentation in response to treatment with the mitochondrial complex 1 inhibitor MPP+. In addition, depletion of HuR suppressed the generation of mitochondrial ROS and cytotoxicity in MPP+ treated cells. Taken together, these findings suggest that HuR controls mitochondrial morphology via regulation of Drp1.
