Contact points between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria enable Ca2+ transfer between both organelles, which is a key mechanism in the modulation of mitochondrial metabolism. During early ER stress, this communication increases as an adaptive mechanism [1]. The signalling pathways controlling this response, however, are yet to be fully characterized. As candidates, we hypothesised that Caveolin-1 (CAV1) may be implicated, as it is enriched at ER–mitochondria contact sites [2]. PKA was also a candidate, as its activity has been shown to regulate organelle dynamics [3].

We used wild type HeLa cells for overexpressing CAV1. Early ER stress was induced with tunicamycin 0,5 µg/mL for 4 h. We measured ER–mitochondria contacts via electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. For Ca2+ transfer, we used the fluorescent probe Rhod-FF. To evaluate mitochondrial respiration, we measured a Clark’s electrode. DRP1 phosphorylation was analysed through western blot. Cell viability was determined though annexin V staining using flow cytometry.

Early ER stress augmented ER–mitochondria contacts, which was prevented by CAV1 overexpression. This rendered ER-to-mitochondria Ca2+ transfer and mitochondrial bioenergetics unresponsive to ER stress. PKA inhibition with H89 or siRNA also impaired the increase in organelle contacts, Ca2+ transfer and mitochondrial respiration. CAV1 overexpression reduced PKA-mediated DRP1 phosphorylation, thereby enhancing ER stress-induced cell death. Increasing ER-mitochondria contacts with a synthetic linker restored cell survival.

Thus, PKA promotes the increase of ER–mitochondria contacts that occurs during ER stress. CAV1, in turn, prevents PKA-mediated phosphorylation, also impairing said remodelling. Increasing ER–mitochondria contacts is necessary for the increase in mitochondrial bioenergetics and cell adaptation to ER stress [4].
