Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning presents a substantial public health challenge that necessitates the identification of its pathological mechanisms and therapeutic targets. CO toxicity arises from tissue hypoxia-ischemia secondary to carboxyhemoglobin formation, and cellular damage mediated by CO at the cellular level. The mitochondria are the major targets of neuronal damage caused by CO. Under normal physiological conditions, mitochondria produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are byproducts of aerobic metabolism. While low ROS levels are crucial for essential cellular functions, including signal transduction, differentiation, responses to hypoxia and immunity, transcriptional regulation, and autophagy, excess ROS become pathological and exacerbate CO poisoning. This review presents the evidence of elevated ROS being associated with the progression of CO poisoning. Antioxidant treatments targeting ROS removal have been proven effective in mitigating CO poisoning, underscoring their therapeutic potential. In this review, we highlight the latest advances in the understanding of the role and the clinical implications of ROS in CO poisoning. We focus on cellular sources of ROS, the molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial oxidative stress, and potential therapeutic strategies for targeting ROS in CO poisoning.

Abstract
Atorvastatin an HMGCR inhibitor may play a role in enhancing spatial and long-term memory and combating anxious behavior deficits induced by Aβ1-42. Behavioral deficit studies, immunoblotting for the antioxidant/apoptotic protein expression, flow cytometry (FACS) for mitochondrial ROS, membrane potential (▲ψm), and histopathological alterations were performed against Aβ1-42 toxicity. Aβ1-42 was infused directly into the brain through i.c.v for the establishment of the AD model. Atorvastatin (ATOR) was administered orally and was used to treat AD in adult male Wistar rats aged between 200 and 250 g. We confirmed that ATOR administration significantly attenuates the Aβ1-42-induced cognitive decline targeted mitochondrial-mediated age-dependent disease progression. Nrf2 stabilizes to interact SOD2 antioxidant enzyme, allowing transcriptional activity by the steep increase in ▲ψm and a reduction in ROS by activating mitochondrial superoxide scavenger and Nrf2-dependent pathway. These findings confirmed that ATOR has the potential efficacy to modulate the interference in cognitive decline induced by Aβ1-42.

Abstract
Cellular oxidative stress mediated by intrinsic and/or extrinsic reactive oxygen species (ROS) is associated with disease pathogenesis. Oxidative DNA damage can naturally be substituted by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), leading to base lesion/strand break formation, copy number changes, and mutations. In this study, we devised a single test for the sensitive quantification of acute mtDNA damage, repair, and copy number changes using supercoiling-sensitive quantitative PCR (ss-qPCR) and examined how oxidative stress-related mtDNA damage responses occur in oral cancer cells. We observed that exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced dynamic mtDNA damage responses, as reflected by early structural DNA damage, followed by DNA repair if damage did not exceed a particular threshold. However, high oxidative stress levels induced persistent mtDNA damage and caused a 5-30-fold depletion in mtDNA copy numbers over late responses. This dramatic depletion was associated with significant growth arrest and apoptosis, suggesting persistent functional consequences. Moreover, oral cancer cells responded differentially to oxidative injury when compared with normal cells, and different ROS species triggered different biological consequences under stress conditions. In conclusion, we developed a new method for the sensitive detection of mtDNA damage and copy number changes, with exogenous H2O2 inducing dynamic mtDNA damage responses associated with functional changes in stressed cancer cells. Finally, our method can help characterize oxidative DNA damage in cancer and other human diseases.

Abstract
Formidable and often seemingly insurmountable conceptual, technical, and methodological challenges hamper the measurement of oxidative stress in humans. For instance, fraught and flawed methods, such as the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances assay kits for lipid peroxidation, rate-limit progress. To advance translational redox research, we present ten comprehensive "cheat codes" for measuring oxidative stress in humans. The cheat codes include analytical approaches to assess reactive oxygen species, antioxidants, oxidative damage, and redox regulation. They provide essential conceptual, technical, and methodological information inclusive of curated "do" and "don't" guidelines. Given the biochemical complexity of oxidative stress, we present a research question-grounded decision tree guide for selecting the most appropriate cheat code(s) to implement in a prospective human experiment. Worked examples demonstrate the benefits of the decision tree-based cheat code selection tool. The ten cheat codes define an invaluable resource for measuring oxidative stress in humans.

Abstract
The molecular mechanism of how reduced mobile zinc (Zn2+) affected retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival and optic nerve regeneration after optic nerve crush (ONC) injury remains unclear. Here, we used conditionally knocked out ZnT-3 in the amacrine cells (ACs) of mice (CKO) in order to explore the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NFE2L2, Nrf2) and autophagy in the protection of RGCs and axon regeneration after ONC injury. We found that reduced Zn2+ can promote RGC survival and axonal regeneration by decreasing ROS, activating Nrf2, and inhibiting autophagy. Additionally, autophagy after ONC is regulated by ROS and Nrf2. Visual function in mice after ONC injury was partially recovered through the reduction of Zn2+, achieved by using a Zn2+ specific chelator N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-(2-Pyridylmethyl) ethylenediamine (TPEN) or through CKO mice. Overall, our data reveal the crosstalk between Zn2+, ROS, Nrf2 and autophagy following ONC injury. This study verified that TPEN or knocking out ZnT-3 in ACs is a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of optic nerve damage and elucidated the postsynaptic molecular mechanism of Zn2+-triggered damage to RGCs after ONC injury.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are crucial for signal transduction and the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. However, superfluous ROS may engender chronic pathologies. Feather keratin is a promising new source of antioxidant peptides that can eliminate excess ROS and potentially treat oxidative stress-related diseases, but the underlying mechanisms have remained elusive. This study investigated the antioxidant effects and mechanisms against H2O2-induced oxidative damage in HepG2 cells of the two latest discovered antioxidant peptides, CRPCGPTP (CP-8) and ANSCNEPCVR (AR-10), first decrypted from feather keratin. The results revealed that CP-8 and AR-10 did not exhibit cytotoxicity to HepG2 cells while reducing intracellular ROS accumulation. Simultaneously, they enhanced the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), thus alleviating H2O2-induced cell apoptosis. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated that CP-8, AR-10 interacted well with the key amino acids in the Kelch domain of Keap1, thereby directly disrupting the Keap1-Nrf2 interaction. The peptides' biosafety and antioxidant activity via Keap1/Nrf2 signaling lay the groundwork for further animal studies and applications as functional food additives.

Abstract
Aging is a time-related functional decline that affects many species. One of the hallmarks of aging is mitochondrial dysfunction, which leads to metabolic decline. The NAD decline during aging, in several tissues, correlates with increase in NADase activity of CD38. Knock out or pharmacological inhibition of CD38 activity can rescue mitochondrial function in several tissues, however, the role of CD38 in controlling NAD levels and metabolic function in the aging brain is unknown. In this work, we investigated CD38 NADase activity controlling NAD levels and mitochondrial function in mice brain with aging. We demonstrate that NADase activity of CD38 does not dictate NAD total levels in brain of aging mice and does not control mitochondrial oxygen consumption nor other oxygen parameters markers of mitochondrial dysfunction. However, for the first time we show that CD38 regulates hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generation, one of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aging brain, through regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase and alfa-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, as mitochondria H2O2 leakage sites. The effect may be related to mitochondrial calcium handling differences in CD38 absence. Our study highlights a novel role of CD38 in brain energy metabolism and aging.

Abstract
Mitochondria use hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a mitokine for cell communication. H2O2 output for signaling depends on its rate of production and degradation, both of which are strongly affected by the redox state of the coenzyme Q10 (CoQ) pool and NADPH availability. Here, we propose the CoQ pool and nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase (NNT) have evolved to be central modalities for mitochondrial H2O2 signaling. Both factors play opposing yet equally important roles in dictating H2O2 availability because they are connected to one another by two central parameters in bioenergetics: electron supply and Δp. The CoQ pool is the central point of convergence for electrons from various dehydrogenases and the electron transport chain (ETC). The increase in Δp creates a significant amount of protonic backpressure on mitochondria to promote H2O2 genesis through CoQ pool reduction. These same factors also drive the activity of NNT, which uses electrons and the Δp to eliminate H2O2. In this way, electron supply and the magnitude of the Δp manifests as a redox connection between the two sentinels, CoQ and NNT, which serve as opposing yet equally important forces required for budgeting H2O2. Taken together, CoQ and NNT are sentinels linked through mitochondrial bioenergetics to manage H2O2 availability for interorganelle and intercellular redox signaling.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) targets some dopamine (DA) neurons more than others. Sex differences offer insights, with females more protected from DA neurodegeneration. The mammalian vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT2 and Drosophila ortholog dVGLUT have been implicated as modulators of DA neuron resilience. However, the mechanisms by which VGLUT2/dVGLUT protects DA neurons remain unknown. We discovered DA neuron dVGLUT knockdown increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in a sexually dimorphic manner in response to depolarization or paraquat-induced stress, males being especially affected. DA neuron dVGLUT also reduced ATP biosynthetic burden during depolarization. RNA sequencing of VGLUT+ DA neurons in mice and flies identified candidate genes that we functionally screened to further dissect VGLUT-mediated DA neuron resilience across PD models. We discovered transcription factors modulating dVGLUT-dependent DA neuroprotection and identified dj-1β as a regulator of sex-specific DA neuron dVGLUT expression. Overall, VGLUT protects DA neurons from PD-associated degeneration by maintaining mitochondrial health.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important regulating factors that play a dual role in plant and human cells. As the first messenger response in organisms, ROS coordinate signals in growth, development, and metabolic activity pathways. They also can act as an alarm mechanism, triggering cellular responses to harmful stimuli. However, excess ROS cause oxidative stress-related damage and oxidize organic substances, leading to cellular malfunctions. This review summarizes the current research status and mechanisms of ROS in plant and human eukaryotic cells, highlighting the differences and similarities between the two and elucidating their interactions with other reactive substances and ROS. Based on the similar regulatory and metabolic ROS pathways in the two kingdoms, this review proposes future developments that can provide opportunities to develop novel strategies for treating human diseases or creating greater agricultural value.

Abstract
Traditionally, mitochondria are known as "the powerhouse of the cell," responsible for energy (ATP) generation (by the electron transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and fatty acid ß-oxidation), and for the regulation of several metabolic processes, including redox homeostasis, calcium signalling, and cellular apoptosis. The extensive studies conducted in the last decades portray mitochondria as multifaceted signalling organelles that ultimately command cells' survival or death. Based on current knowledge, we'll outline the mitochondrial signalling to other intracellular compartments in homeostasis and pathology-related mitochondrial stress conditions here. The following topics are discussed: (i) oxidative stress and mtROS signalling in mitohormesis, (ii) mitochondrial Ca2+ signalling; (iii) the anterograde (nucleus-to-mitochondria) and retrograde (mitochondria-to-nucleus) signal transduction, (iv) the mtDNA role in immunity and inflammation, (v) the induction of mitophagy- and apoptosis - signalling cascades, (vi) the mitochondrial dysfunctions (mitochondriopathies) in cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, and malignant diseases. The novel insights into molecular mechanisms of mitochondria-mediated signalling can explain mitochondria adaptation to metabolic and environmental stresses to achieve cell survival.

Abstract
Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KGDH) are vital sources of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and key sites for redox regulation. Here, we report KGDH is more sensitive to inhibition by S-nitroso-glutathione (GSNO) when compared to PDH and deactivation of both enzymes by nitro modification is affected by sex and diet. Liver mitochondria from male C57BL/6N mice displayed a robust inhibition of H2O2 production after exposure to 500-2000 μM GSNO. H2O2 genesis by PDH was not significantly affected by GSNO. Purified KGDH of porcine heart origin displayed a ∼82% decrease in H2O2 generating activity at 500 μM GSNO, which was mirrored by a decrease in NADH production. By contrast, H2O2- and NADH-producing activity of purified PDH was only minimally affected by an incubation in 500 μM GSNO. Incubations in GSNO had no significant effect on the H2O2-generating activity of KGDH and PDH in female liver mitochondria when compared to samples collected from males, which was attributed to higher GSNO reductase (GSNOR) activity. High fat feeding augmented the GSNO-mediated inhibition of KGDH in liver mitochondria from male mice. Exposure of male mice to a HFD also resulted in a significant decrease in the GSNO-mediated inhibition of H2O2 genesis by PDH, an effect not observed in mice fed a control-matched diet (CD). Female mice displayed higher resistance to the GSNO-induced inhibition of H2O2 production, regardless of being fed a CD or HFD. However, exposure to a HFD did result in a small but significant decrease in H2O2 production by KGDH and PDH when female liver mitochondria were treated with GSNO. Although, the effect was less when compared to their male counterparts. Collectively, we show for the first time GSNO deactivates H2O2 production by α-keto acid dehydrogenases and we demonstrate that sex and diet are determinants for the nitro-inhibition of both KGDH and PDH.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have been worldwide threats nowadays. Liver fibrosis is reversible in early stages but will develop precancerosis of HCC in cirrhotic stage. In pathological liver, excessive H2O2 is generated and accumulated, which impacts the functionality of hepatocytes, Kupffer cells (KCs) and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), leading to genesis of fibrosis and HCC. H2O2 accumulation is associated with overproduction of superoxide anion (O2•−) and abolished antioxidant enzyme systems. Plenty of therapeutics focused on H2O2 have shown satisfactory effects against liver fibrosis or HCC in different ways. This review summarized the reasons of liver H2O2 accumulation, and the role of H2O2 in genesis of liver fibrosis and HCC. Additionally, nanotherapeutics targeting H2O2 were summarized for further consideration of antifibrotic or antitumor therapy. Liver fibrosis and HCC are closely related because ROS induced liver damage and inflammation, especially over-cumulated H2O2. Excess H2O2 diffusion in pathological liver was due to increased metabolic rate and diminished cellular antioxidant systems. Freely diffused H2O2 damaged liver-specific cells, thereby leading to fibrogenesis and hepatocarcinogenesis. Nanotherapeutics targeting H2O2 are summarized for treatment of liver fibrosis and HCC, and also challenges are proposed.

Abstract
High levels of steady-state mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glycolysis are hallmarks of cancer. An improved understanding of interactions between tumor energetics and mitochondrial ROS modulation is useful for the development of new anticancer strategies. Here, we show that the natural product chlorogenic acid (CGA) specifically scavenged abnormally elevated mitochondrial O2•- and exhibited a two-photon fluorescence turn-on response to tumor cells under hypoxia and tumor tissues in vivo. Furthermore, we illustrated that CGA treatment reduced O2•- levels in cells, hampered activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and shifted metabolism from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), resulting in inhibition of tumor growth under hypoxia. This study demonstrates an efficient two-photon fluorescent tool for real-time assessment of mitochondrial O2•- and a clear link between reducing intracellular ROS levels by CGA treatments and regulating metabolism, as well as undeniably helpful insights for the development of new anticancer strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been four decades since protein S-glutathionylation was proposed to serve as a regulator of cell metabolism. Since then, this redox-sensitive covalent modification has been identified as a cell-wide signaling platform required for embryonic development and regulation of many physiological functions. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW Mitochondria use hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a second messenger, but its availability must be controlled to prevent oxidative distress and promote changes in cell behavior in response to stimuli. Experimental data favor the function of protein S-glutathionylation as a feedback loop for the inhibition of mitochondrial H2O2 production. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS The glutathione pool redox state is linked to the availability of H2O2, making glutathionylation an ideal mechanism for preventing oxidative distress whilst playing a part in desensitizing mitochondrial redox signals. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The biological significance of glutathionylation is rooted in redox status communication. The present review critically evaluates the experimental evidence supporting its role in negating mitochondrial H2O2 production for cell signaling and prevention of electrophilic stress.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a pathophysiological process with multifaceted effects. It is involved in wound healing, aging and age-related diseases as well as cancer. On the one hand, senescence is considered as barrier against tumorigenesis by inducing an irreversible/prolonged cell cycle arrest. On the other hand, it may promote tumorigenesis when senescent cells accumulate genomic instability and bypass this cell cycle arrest. Interestingly, the bystander effects mediate the propagation of the genetic instability from senescent cells to their environment through the SASP (Senescence Associated Secretory Phenotype) including proinflammatory cytokines, proteases, growth factors and Reactive Oxygen Species 'ROS.' From several markers explored to detect senescent cells (β-galactosidase, p16, p21, p53, heterochromatin foci, DNA damage,…), ROS arouse particular interest because of their involvement at the chronic supraphysiological level, in the induction and maintain of DNA damage, inflammation, cell cycle disruption and epigenetic instability. In this context, the choice of methods to detect ROS in senescent cells is of particular interest and must take into account relevant parameters as well as the specificity for each species of ROS and the subcellular localization of ROS production. In this chapter, we introduce senescence and ROS, we briefly discuss the advantages and the shortcomings of methods routinely used to detect ROS. In addition, we describe the protocol to detect ROS at mitochondrial level (using the MitoSOX staining) in the BCPAP cell line (from human papillary thyroid carcinomas) expressing BRAFV600E oncogene known to trigger senescence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Experimental evidence suggests a key role of SIRT1 (silent information regulator 1) in age- and metabolic-related vascular dysfunction. Whether these effects hold true in the human microvasculature is unknown. We aimed to investigate the SIRT1 role in very early stages of age- and obesity-related microvascular dysfunction in humans. METHODS Ninety-five subjects undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery were recruited and stratified based on their body mass index status (above or below 30 kg/m2) and age (above or below 40 years) in 4 groups: Young Nonobese, Young Obese, Old Nonobese, and Old Obese. We measured small resistance arteries' endothelial function by pressurized micromyography before and after incubation with a SIRT1 agonist (SRT1720) and a mitochondria reactive oxygen species (mtROS) scavenger (MitoTEMPO). We assessed vascular levels of mtROS and nitric oxide availability by confocal microscopy and vascular gene expression of SIRT1 and mitochondrial proteins by qPCR. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay was employed to investigate SIRT1-dependent epigenetic regulation of mitochondrial proteins. RESULTS Compared with Young Nonobese, obese and older patients showed lower vascular expression of SIRT1 and antioxidant proteins (FOXO3 [forkhead box protein O3] and SOD2) and higher expression of pro-oxidant and aging mitochondria proteins p66Shc and Arginase II. Old Obese, Young Obese and Old Nonobese groups endothelial dysfunction was rescued by SRT1720. The restoration was comparable to the one obtained with mitoTEMPO. These effects were explained by SIRT1-dependent chromatin changes leading to reduced p66Shc expression and upregulation of proteins involved in mitochondria respiratory chain. CONCLUSIONS SIRT1 is a novel central modulator of the earliest microvascular damage induced by age and obesity. Through a complex epigenetic control mainly involving p66Shc and Arginase II, it influences mtROS levels, NO availability, and the expression of proteins of the mitochondria respiratory chain. Therapeutic modulation of SIRT1 restores obesity- and age-related endothelial dysfunction. Early targeting of SIRT1 might represent a crucial strategy to prevent age- and obesity-related microvascular dysfunction.

Abstract
Significance: The role of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species as "friend" or "foe" messengers in the whole body is well characterized. Depending on the concentration in the tissue considered, these molecular actors exert beneficial or deleterious impacts leading to a pathological state, as observed in metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. Recent Advances: Among the tissues impacted by oxidation and inflammation in this pathological state, the intestine is a site of dysfunction that can establish diabetic symptoms, such as alterations in the intestinal barrier, gut motility, microbiota composition, and gut/brain axis communication. In the intestine, reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (from the host and/or microbiota) are key factors that modulate the transition from physiological to pathological signaling. Critical Issues: Controlling the levels of intestinal reactive oxygen/nitrogen species is a complicated balance between positive and negative impacts that is in constant equilibrium. Here, we describe the synthesis and degradation of intestinal reactive oxygen/nitrogen species and their interactions with the host. The development of novel redox-based therapeutics that alter these processes could restore intestinal health in patients with metabolic disorders. Future Directions: Deciphering the mode of action of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species in the gut of obese/diabetic patients could result in a future therapeutic strategy that combines nutritional and pharmacological approaches. Consequently, preventive and curative treatments must take into account one of the first sites of oxidative and inflammatory dysfunctions in the body, that is, the intestine. Antioxid.

Abstract
Mitochondria play a pivotal role in cellular function, not only acting as the powerhouse of the cell, but also regulating ATP synthesis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, intracellular Ca2+ cycling, and apoptosis. During the past decade, extensive progress has been made in the technology to assess mitochondrial functions and accumulating evidences have shown that mitochondrial dysfunction is a key pathophysiological mechanism for many diseases including cardiovascular disorders, such as ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, hypertension, atherosclerosis, and hemorrhagic shock. The advances in methodology have been accelerating our understanding of mitochondrial molecular structure and function, biogenesis and ROS and energy production, which facilitates new drug target identification and therapeutic strategy development for mitochondrial dysfunction-related disorders. This review will focus on the assessment of methodologies currently used for mitochondrial research and discuss their advantages, limitations and the implications of mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract
'Reactive oxygen species' (ROS) is a generic term that defines a wide variety of oxidant molecules with vastly different properties and biological functions that range from signalling to causing cell damage. Consequently, the description of oxidants needs to be chemically precise to translate research on their biological effects into therapeutic benefit in redox medicine. This Expert Recommendation article pinpoints key issues associated with identifying the physiological roles of oxidants, focusing on H2O2 and O2.-. The generic term ROS should not be used to describe specific molecular agents. We also advocate for greater precision in measurement of H2O2, O2.- and other oxidants, along with more specific identification of their signalling targets. Future work should also consider inter-organellar communication and the interactions of redox-sensitive signalling targets within organs and whole organisms, including the contribution of environmental exposures. To achieve these goals, development of tools that enable site-specific and real-time detection and quantification of individual oxidants in cells and model organisms are needed. We also stress that physiological O2 levels should be maintained in cell culture to better mimic in vivo redox reactions associated with specific cell types. Use of precise definitions and analytical tools will help harmonize research among the many scientific disciplines working on the common goal of understanding redox biology.

Abstract
Trimetazidine exhibits great therapeutic potential in cardiovascular diseases and mitochondria-mediated cardioprotection by trimetazidine has been widely reported. In this study, to enhance its cardioprotection, the triphenylphosphonium-based modification of trimetazidine was conducted to deliver it specifically to mitochondria. Fifteen triphenylphosphonium (TPP) conjugated trimetazidine analogs were designed and synthesized. Their protective effects were evaluated in vivo using a tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) induced zebrafish injury model. Structure-activity relationship correlations revealed the best way to couple the TPP moiety to trimetazidine, and led to a new conjugate (18a) with enhanced therapeutic properties. Compared to trimetazidine, 18a effectively protects against heart injury in the zebrafish model at a much lower concentration. Further study in t-BHP treated zebrafish and H9c2 cells demonstrated that 18a protects against cardiomyocyte death and damage by inhibiting excessive production of ROS, maintaining mitochondrial morphology, and preventing mitochondrial dysfunction. Consequently, 18a can be regarded as a potential therapeutic agent for cardioprotection.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are recognised both as damaging molecules and intracellular signalling entities. In addition to its role in ATP generation, the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) constitutes a relevant source of mitochondrial ROS, in particular during pathological conditions. Mitochondrial ROS homeostasis depends on species- and site-dependent ROS production, their bioreactivity, diffusion, and scavenging. However, our quantitative understanding of mitochondrial ROS homeostasis has thus far been hampered by technical limitations, including lack of truly site- and/or ROS-specific reporter molecules. In this context, the use of computational models is of great value to complement and interpret empirical data, as well as to predict variables that are difficult to assess experimentally. During the last decades, various mechanistic models of ETC-mediated ROS production have been developed. Although these often-complex models have generated novel insights, their parameterisation, analysis, and integration with other computational models is not straightforward. In contrast, phenomenological (sometimes termed "minimal") models use a relatively small set of equations to describe empirical relationship(s) between ROS-related and other parameters, and generally aim to explore system behaviour and generate hypotheses for experimental validation. In this review, we first discuss ETC-linked ROS homeostasis and introduce various detailed mechanistic models. Next, we present how bioenergetic parameters (e.g. NADH/NAD+ ratio, mitochondrial membrane potential) relate to site-specific ROS production within the ETC and how these relationships can be used to design minimal models of ROS homeostasis. Finally, we illustrate how minimal models have been applied to explore pathophysiological aspects of ROS.

NOX4 Mediates Epithelial Cell Death in Hyperoxic Acute Lung Injury Through Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:880878.

Abstract
Management of acute respiratory distress involves O2 supplementation, which is lifesaving, but causes severe hyperoxic acute lung injury (HALI). NADPH oxidase (NOX) could be a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in hyperoxia (HO). Epithelial cell death is a crucial step in the development of many lung diseases. Alveolar type II (AT2) cells are the metabolically active epithelial cells of alveoli that serve as a source of AT1 cells following lung injury. The aim of this study was to determine the possible role of AT2 epithelial cell NOX4 in epithelial cell death from HALI. Wild type (WT), Nox4 fl/fl (control), and Nox4 -/- Spc-Cre mice were exposed to room air (NO) or 95% O2 (HO) to investigate the structural and functional changes in the lung. C57BL/6J WT animals subjected to HO showed increased expression of lung NOX4 compared to NO. Significant HALI, increased bronchoalveolar lavage cell counts, increased protein levels, elevated proinflammatory cytokines and increased AT2 cell death seen in hyperoxic Nox4 fl/fl control mice were attenuated in HO-exposed Nox4 -/- Spc-Cre mice. HO-induced expression of NOX4 in MLE cells resulted in increased mitochondrial (mt) superoxide production and cell apoptosis, which was reduced in NOX4 siRNA silenced cells. This study demonstrates a novel role for epithelial cell NOX4 in accelerating lung epithelial cell apoptosis from HALI. Deletion of the Nox4 gene in AT2 cells or silencing NOX4 in lung epithelial cells protected the lungs from severe HALI with reduced apoptosis and decreased mt ROS production in HO. These results suggest NOX4 as a potential target for the treatment of HALI.

Abstract
AbstractFerroptosis, a form of regulated cell death, plays an important role in acute kidney injury (AKI). Previous studies have shown that prolyl hydroxylase domain protein (PHD) inhibitors that activate HIF signaling provide strong protection against AKI, which is characterized by marked cell death. However, the relationship between PHD inhibition/HIF signaling and ferroptosis in AKI has not been elucidated. Here, we review recent studies to explore the issue. First, we will review the literature concerning the functions of HIF in promoting mitophagy, suppressing mitochondrial respiration and modulating redox homeostasis. Second, we will describe the current understanding of ferroptosis and its role in AKI, particularly from the perspective of mitochondrial dysfunction. Finally, we will discuss the possibility that mitochondria link PHD inhibition/HIF signaling and ferroptosis in AKI. In conclusion, we propose that HIF may protect renal cells against ferroptosis in AKI by reducing mitochondrial oxidative stress and damage.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is one of the earliest pathological features of a suite of diseases including type 2 diabetes collectively referred to as metabolic syndrome. There is a growing body of evidence from both pre-clinical studies and human cohorts indicating that reactive oxygen species, such as the superoxide radical anion and hydrogen peroxide are key players in the development of insulin resistance. Here we review the evidence linking mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generated within mitochondria with insulin resistance in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle, two major insulin sensitive tissues. We outline the relevant mitochondria-derived reactive species, how the mitochondrial redox state is regulated, and methodologies available to measure mitochondrial reactive oxygen species. Importantly, we highlight key experimental issues to be considered when studying the role of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in insulin resistance. Evaluating the available literature on both mitochondrial reactive oxygen species/redox state and insulin resistance in a variety of biological systems, we conclude that the weight of evidence suggests a likely role for mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in the etiology of insulin resistance in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. However, major limitations in the methods used to study reactive oxygen species in insulin resistance as well as the lack of data linking mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and cytosolic insulin signaling pathways are significant obstacles in proving the mechanistic link between these two processes. We provide a framework to guide future studies to provide stronger mechanistic information on the link between mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and insulin resistance as understanding the source, localization, nature, and quantity of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, their targets and downstream signaling pathways may pave the way for important new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most frequent and the most aggresive subtype of renal cell carcinoma usually detected at an already advanced stage. It might even be observed as a metabolic disease since complex molecular changes and disturbed redox homeostasis are its hallmark. As certain changes are characteristic for tumorigenesis, while some other for metastatic disease, the identification of metabolic modifications could also point out the stage of tumor progression. Hypoxia inducible factor, as a factor regulating transcription of genes encoding glycolytic enzymes, as well as controlling lipid accumulation, has a particular place in ccRCC development. Additionaly, disturbed redox homeostasis induces the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway which further modulates the synthesis of phase-II detoxifying metabolism enzymes. The upregulation of glutathione transferases, Pi class especially, inhibits kinase-dependent apoptosis that is essential in tumor progression. Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) acts as a signaling molecule conveying redox signals, while superoxide dismutase, as well as glutathione peroxidase are enzymes involved in its production and degradation. Hence, the activity of these enzymes impacts hydrogen peroxide levels and consequentially the ability of ccRCC cells to evade negative effect of reactive oxygen species.
