Abstract
Ageing is a complex biological process in which a gradual decline in physiological fitness increases susceptibility to diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders and cancer. Cellular senescence, a state of irreversible cell-growth arrest accompanied by functional deterioration, has emerged as a pivotal driver of ageing. In this Review, we discuss how heterochromatin loss, telomere attrition and DNA damage contribute to cellular senescence, ageing and age-related diseases by eliciting genome instability, innate immunity and inflammation. We also discuss how emerging therapeutic strategies could restore heterochromatin stability, maintain telomere integrity and boost the DNA repair capacity, and thus counteract cellular senescence and ageing-associated pathologies. Finally, we outline current research challenges and future directions aimed at better comprehending and delaying ageing.

Reuterin promotes pyroptosis in hepatocellular cancer cells through mtDNA-mediated STING activation and caspase 8 expression. Cancer Lett 2024; 601:217183.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer with poor prognosis. The available drugs for advanced HCC are limited and substantial therapeutic advances including new drugs and new combination therapies are still in urgent need. In this study, we found that the major metabolite of Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri), reuterin showed great anti-HCC potential and could help in sorafenib treatment. Reuterin treatment impaired mitophagy and caused the aberrant clustering of mitochondrial nucleoids to block mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication and mitochondrial fission, which could promote mtDNA leakage and subsequent STING activation in HCC cells. STING could activate pyroptosis and necroptosis, while reuterin treatment also induced caspase 8 expression to inhibit necroptosis through cleaving RIPK3 in HCC cells. Thus, pyroptosis was the main death form in reuterin-treated HCC cells and STING suppression remarkably rescued the growth inhibitory effect of reuterin and concurrently knockdown caspase 8 synergized to restrain the induction of pyroptosis. In conclusion, our study explains the detailed molecular mechanisms of the antitumor effect of reuterin and reveals its potential to perform as a combinational drug for HCC treatment.

Abstract
Copper, a vital mineral nutrient, possesses redox qualities that make it both beneficial and toxic to organisms. Excessive environmental copper exposure can result in neurological damage and cognitive decline in humans. Astrocytes, the predominant glial cells in the brain, are particularly vulnerable to pollutants, but the mechanism of copper-induced damage to astrocytes remains elusive. The aim of this study was to determine the role of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) pathway in initiating NLRP3 inflammasome-induced astrocyte pyroptosis and chronic inflammation under conditions of copper overload. Our findings indicated that copper exposure elevated mitochondrial ROS (mtROS) levels, resulting in mitochondrial damage in astrocytes. This damage caused the release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the cytoplasm, which subsequently activated the cGAS-STING pathway. This activation resulted in interactions between STING and NLRP3 proteins, facilitating the assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome and inducing pyroptosis. Furthermore, depletion of mtROS mitigated copper-induced mitochondrial damage in astrocytes and reduced mtDNA leakage. Pharmacological inhibition of STING or STING transfection further reversed copper-induced pyroptosis and the inflammatory response. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that the leakage of mtDNA into the cytoplasm and the subsequent activation of the cGAS-STING-NLRP3 pathway may be potential mechanisms underlying copper-induced pyroptosis in astrocytes. These findings provided new insights into the toxicity of copper.

Abstract
Ageing is accompanied by a persistent, low-level inflammation, termed "inflammageing", which contributes to the pathogenesis of age-related diseases. Mitochondria fulfil multiple roles in host immune responses, while mitochondrial dysfunction, a hallmark of ageing, has been shown to promote chronic inflammatory states by regulating the production of cytokines and chemokines. In this review, we aim to disentangle the molecular mechanisms underlying this process. We describe the role of mitochondrial signalling components such as mitochondrial DNA, mitochondrial RNA, N-formylated peptides, ROS, cardiolipin, cytochrome c, mitochondrial metabolites, potassium efflux and mitochondrial calcium in the age-related immune system activation. Furthermore, we discuss the effect of age-related decline in mitochondrial quality control mechanisms, including mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics, mitophagy and UPRmt, in inflammatory states upon ageing. In addition, we focus on the dynamic relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular senescence and its role in regulating the secretion of pro-inflammatory molecules by senescent cells. Finally, we review the existing literature regarding mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation in specific age-related pathological conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), osteoarthritis and sarcopenia.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiac damage remains a leading cause of death amongst cancer survivors. DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) is mediated by disturbed mitochondrial dynamics, but it remains debated that the mechanisms by which DOX disrupted equilibrium between mitochondrial fission and fusion. In the present study, we observed that DOX induced mitochondrial elongation in multiple cardiovascular cell lines. Mechanically, DOX not only downregulated the mitochondrial fusion proteins including Mitofusin 1/2 (MFN1/2) and Optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), but also induced lower motility of dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1) and its phosphorylation on 637 serine, which could inhibit mitochondrial fission. Interestingly, DOX failed to induce mitochondrial elongation in cardiomyocytes co-treated with protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H89 or expressing phosphodeficient Drp1-S637A variants. Besides, carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) was able to blocked the mitochondrial elongation induced by DOX treatment, which could be phenocopied by OPA1 knockdown. Therefore, we speculated that DOX inhibited mitochondrial fission and fusion simultaneously, yet enabled mitochondrial fusion dominate the mitochondrial dynamics, resulting in mitochondrial elongation as the main manifestation. Notably, blocking mitochondrial elongation by inhibiting Drp1-S637 phosphorylation or OPA1 knockdown aggravated DOX-induced cardiomyocytes death. Based on these results, we propose a novel mechanistic model that DOX-induced mitochondrial elongation is attributed to the equilibrium disturbance of mitochondrial dynamics, which serves as an adaptive response and confers protection against DIC.

Abstract
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has a poor survival rate for both pediatric and adult patients due to its frequent relapse. To elucidate the bioenergetic principle underlying AML relapse, we investigated the transcriptional regulation of mitochondrial-nuclear dual genomes responsible for metabolic plasticity in treatment-resistant blasts. Both the gain and loss of function results demonstrated that NFκB2, a noncanonical transcription factor (TF) of the NFκB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells) family, can control the expression of TFAM (mitochondrial transcription factor A), which is known to be essential for metabolic biogenesis. Furthermore, genetic tracking and promoter assays revealed that NFκB2 is in the mitochondria and can bind the specific "TTGGGGGGTG" region of the regulatory D-loop domain to activate the light-strand promoter (LSP) and heavy-strand promoter 1 (HSP1), promoters of the mitochondrial genome. Based on our discovery of NFκB2's novel function of regulating mitochondrial-nuclear dual genomes, we explored a novel triplet therapy including inhibitors of NFκB2, tyrosine kinase, and mitochondrial ATP synthase that effectively eliminated primary AML blasts with mutations of the FMS-related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) and displayed minimum toxicity to control cells ex vivo. As such, effective treatments for AML must include strong inhibitory actions on the dual genomes mediating metabolic plasticity to improve leukemia prognosis.

Abstract
Mitochondrial membranes define distinct structural and functional compartments. Cristae of the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) function as independent bioenergetic units that undergo rapid and transient remodelling, but the significance of this compartmentalized organization is unknown1. Using super-resolution microscopy, here we show that cytosolic IMM vesicles, devoid of outer mitochondrial membrane or mitochondrial matrix, are formed during resting state. These vesicles derived from the IMM (VDIMs) are formed by IMM herniation through pores formed by voltage-dependent anion channel 1 in the outer mitochondrial membrane. Live-cell imaging showed that lysosomes in proximity to mitochondria engulfed the herniating IMM and, aided by the endosomal sorting complex required for transport machinery, led to the formation of VDIMs in a microautophagy-like process, sparing the remainder of the organelle. VDIM formation was enhanced in mitochondria undergoing oxidative stress, suggesting their potential role in maintenance of mitochondrial function. Furthermore, the formation of VDIMs required calcium release by the reactive oxygen species-activated, lysosomal calcium channel, transient receptor potential mucolipin 1, showing an interorganelle communication pathway for maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis. Thus, IMM compartmentalization could allow for the selective removal of damaged IMM sections via VDIMs, which should protect mitochondria from localized injury. Our findings show a new pathway of intramitochondrial quality control.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dynamics play a critical role in cell fate decisions and in controlling mtDNA levels and distribution. However, the molecular mechanisms linking mitochondrial membrane remodeling and quality control to mtDNA copy number (CN) regulation remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) protein mitochondrial fission process 1 (MTFP1) negatively regulates IMM fusion. Moreover, manipulation of mitochondrial fusion through the regulation of MTFP1 levels results in mtDNA CN modulation. Mechanistically, we found that MTFP1 inhibits mitochondrial fusion to isolate and exclude damaged IMM subdomains from the rest of the network. Subsequently, peripheral fission ensures their segregation into small MTFP1-enriched mitochondria (SMEM) that are targeted for degradation in an autophagic-dependent manner. Remarkably, MTFP1-dependent IMM quality control is essential for basal nucleoid recycling and therefore to maintain adequate mtDNA levels within the cell.

Abstract
Although viruses subvert innate immune pathways for their replication, there is evidence they can also co-opt anti-viral responses for their benefit. The ubiquitous human pathogen, Herpes Simplex Virus-1 (HSV-1), encodes a protein (UL12.5) that induces the release of mitochondrial nucleic acid into the cytosol, which activates immune sensing pathways and reduces productive replication in non-neuronal cells. HSV-1 establishes latency in neurons and can reactivate to cause disease. We found that UL12.5 is required for HSV-1 reactivation in neurons and acts to directly promote viral lytic gene expression during initial exit from latency. Further, the direct activation of innate immune sensing pathways triggered HSV reactivation and compensated for a lack of UL12.5. Finally, we found that the induction of HSV-1 lytic genes during reactivation required intact RNA and DNA sensing pathways, demonstrating that HSV-1 can both respond to and active antiviral nucleic acid sensing pathways to reactivate from a latent infection.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is the most common causative agent of acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infections (ABSSSI), one of the major challenges to the health system worldwide. Although the use of antibiotics as the first line of intervention for MRSA-infected wounds is recommended, important side effects could occur, including cytotoxicity or immune dysregulation, thus affecting the repair process. Here, we show that the oxazolidinone antibiotic linezolid (LZD) impairs wound healing by aberrantly increasing interleukin 1 β (IL-1β) production in keratinocytes. Mechanistically, LZD triggers a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-independent mitochondrial damage that culminates in increased tethering between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, which in turn activates the NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome complex by promoting its assembly to the mitochondrial surface. Downregulation of ER-mitochondria contact formation is sufficient to inhibit the LZD-driven NLRP3 inflammasome activation and IL-1β production, restoring wound closure. These results identify the ER-mitochondria association as a key factor for NLRP3 activation and reveal a new mechanism in the regulation of the wound healing process that might be clinically relevant.

Abstract
When cells are stressed, DNA from energy-producing mitochondria can leak out and drive inflammatory immune responses if not cleared. Cells employ a quality control system called autophagy to specifically degrade damaged components. We discovered that mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM)-a protein that binds mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-helps to eliminate leaked mtDNA by interacting with the autophagy protein LC3 through an autolysosomal pathway (we term this nucleoid-phagy). TFAM contains a molecular zip code called the LC3 interacting region (LIR) motif that enables this binding. Although mutating TFAM's LIR motif did not affect its normal mitochondrial functions, more mtDNA accumulated in the cell cytoplasm, activating inflammatory signalling pathways. Thus, TFAM mediates autophagic removal of leaked mtDNA to restrict inflammation. Identifying this mechanism advances understanding of how cells exploit autophagy machinery to selectively target and degrade inflammatory mtDNA. These findings could inform research on diseases involving mitochondrial damage and inflammation.

Abstract
Mitochondria reside at the crossroads of catabolic and anabolic metabolism-the essence of life. How their structure and function are dynamically tuned in response to tissue-specific needs for energy, growth repair, and renewal is being increasingly understood. Mitochondria respond to intrinsic and extrinsic stresses and can alter cell and organismal function by inducing metabolic signaling within cells and to distal cells and tissues. Here, we review how the centrality of mitochondrial functions manifests in health and a broad spectrum of diseases and aging.

Abstract
Mitochondria are pleiotropic organelles central to an array of cellular pathways including metabolism, signal transduction, and programmed cell death. Mitochondria are also key drivers of mammalian immune responses, functioning as scaffolds for innate immune signaling, governing metabolic switches required for immune cell activation, and releasing agonists that promote inflammation. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a potent immunostimulatory agonist, triggering pro-inflammatory and type I interferon responses in a host of mammalian cell types. Here we review recent advances in how mtDNA is detected by nucleic acid sensors of the innate immune system upon release into the cytoplasm and extracellular space. We also discuss how the interplay between mtDNA release and sensing impacts cellular innate immune endpoints relevant to health and disease.
