abstract = {Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles that supply
energy for cellular biochemistry through oxidative
phosphorylation. Within a cell, hundreds of mobile
mitochondria undergo fusion and fission events to form a
dynamic network. These morphological and mobility dynamics
are essential for maintaining mitochondrial functional
homeostasis, and alterations both impact and reflect
cellular stress states. Mitochondrial homeostasis is further
dependent on production (biogenesis) and the removal of
damaged mitochondria by selective autophagy (mitophagy).
While mitochondrial function, dynamics, biogenesis and
mitophagy are highly-integrated processes, it is not fully
understood how systemic control in the cell is established
to maintain homeostasis, or respond to bioenergetic demands.
Here we used agent-based modeling (ABM) to integrate
molecular and imaging knowledge sets, and simulate
population dynamics of mitochondria and their response to
environmental energy demand. Using high-dimensional
parameter searches we integrated experimentally-measured
rates of mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy, and using
sensitivity analysis we identified parameter influences on
population homeostasis. By studying the dynamics of cellular
subpopulations with distinct mitochondrial masses, our
approach uncovered system properties of mitochondrial
populations: (1) mitochondrial fusion and fission activities
rapidly establish mitochondrial sub-population homeostasis,
and total cellular levels of mitochondria alter fusion and
fission activities and subpopulation distributions; (2)
restricting the directionality of mitochondrial mobility
does not alter morphology subpopulation distributions, but
increases network transmission dynamics; and (3) maintaining
mitochondrial mass homeostasis and responding to
bioenergetic stress requires the integration of
mitochondrial dynamics with the cellular bioenergetic state.
Finally, (4) our model suggests sources of, and stress
conditions amplifying, cell-to-cell variability of
mitochondrial morphology and energetic stress states.
Overall, our modeling approach integrates biochemical and
imaging knowledge, and presents a novel open-modeling
approach to investigate how spatial and temporal
mitochondrial dynamics contribute to functional homeostasis,
and how subcellular organelle heterogeneity contributes to
the emergence of cell heterogeneity.},
