Abstract
Eukaryotic cell organelles sustain the life of cells. Their structural changes and dysfunctions can cause abnormal physiological activities and lead to various diseases. Molecular imaging technology enables the visualization of subcellular structures, cells, organs, and the whole living body's structure and metabolism dynamic changes. This could help to reveal the pharmacology mechanisms and drug delivery pathway in vivo. This article discusses the relationship between organelles and human disease, reviews recent probes targeting organelles and their behavior in vivo. We found that mitochondria-targeting probes prefer accumulation in the intestine, heart, and tumor. The lysosome-targeting probe accumulates in the intestine and tumor. Few studies on endoplasmic reticulum- or Golgi apparatus-targeting probes have been reported for in vivo imaging. We hope this review could provide new insights for developing and applying organelle-targeting probes.

Immunometabolic alterations in lupus: where do they come from and where do we go from there? Curr Opin Immunol 2022; 78:102245.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which the overactivation of the immune system has been associated with metabolic alterations. Targeting the altered immunometabolism has been proposed to treat SLE patients based on their results obtained and mouse models of the disease. Here, we review the recent literature to discuss the possible origins of the alterations in the metabolism of immune cells in lupus, the dominant role of mitochondrial defects, technological advances that may move the field forward, as well as how targeting lupus immunometabolism may have therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous, multisystemic autoimmune disease with a broad clinical spectrum. Loss of self-tolerance and chronic inflammation are critical markers of SLE pathogenesis. Although alterations in adaptive immunity are widely recognized, increasing reports indicate the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in activating pathogenic pathways involving the innate immune system. Among these, disarrangements in mitochondrial DNA copy number and heteroplasmy percentage are related to SLE activity. Furthermore, increased oxidative stress contributes to post-translational changes in different molecules (proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids), release of oxidized mitochondrial DNA through a pore of voltage-dependent anion channel oligomers, and spontaneous mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein oligomerization. Finally, a reduction in mitophagy, apoptosis induction, and NETosis has been reported in SLE. Most of these pathways lead to persistent and inappropriate exposure to oxidized mitochondrial DNA, which can stimulate plasmacytoid dendritic cells, enhance autoreactive lymphocyte activation, and release increased amounts of interferons through stimulation of toll-like receptors and cytosolic DNA sensors. Likewise, abnormal T-cell receptor activation, decreased regulatory T cells, enhanced Th17 phenotypes, and increased monocyte maturation to dendritic cells have also been observed in SLE. Targeting the players involved in mitochondrial damage can ultimately help.

Abstract
Nucleic acid autoantibodies, increase type I interferon (IFN-α) levels, and immune cell hyperactivation are hallmarks of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Notably, immune cell activation requires high level of cellular energy that is predominately generated by the mitochondria. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS), the byproduct of mitochondrial energy generation, serves as an essential mediator to control the activation and differentiation of cells and regulate the antigenicity of oxidized nucleoids within the mitochondria. Recently, clinical trials on normalization of mitochondrial redox imbalance by mROS scavengers and those investigating the recovery of defective mitophagy have provided novel insights into SLE prophylaxis and therapy. However, the precise mechanism underlying the role of oxidative stress-related mitochondrial molecules in skewing the cell fate at the molecular level remains unclear. This review outlines distinctive mitochondrial functions and pathways that are involved in immune responses and systematically delineates how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to SLE pathogenesis. In addition, we provide a comprehensive overview of damaged mitochondrial function and impaired metabolic pathways in adaptive and innate immune cells and lupus-induced organ tissues. Furthermore, we summarize the potential of current mitochondria-targeting drugs for SLE treatment. Developing novel therapeutic approaches to regulate mitochondrial oxidative stress is a promising endeavor in the search for effective treatments for systemic autoimmune diseases, particularly SLE.
