Abstract
CONTEXT Sepsis can result in critical organ failure, and notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1) offers mitochondrial protection. OBJECTIVE To determine whether NGR1 improves organ function and prognosis after sepsis by protecting mitochondrial quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS A sepsis model was established in C57BL/6 mice using cecum ligation puncture (CLP) and an in vitro model with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 10 µg/mL)-stimulated primary intestinal microvascular endothelial cells (IMVECs) and then determine NGR1's safe dosage. Groups for each model were: in vivo-a control group, a CLP-induced sepsis group, and a CLP + NGR1 treatment group (30 mg/kg/d for 3 d); in vitro-a control group, a LPS-induced sepsis group, and a LPS + NGR1 treatment group (4 μM for 30 min). NGR1's effects on survival, intestinal function, mitochondrial quality, and mitochondrial dynamic-related protein (Drp1) were evaluated. RESULTS Sepsis resulted in approximately 60% mortality within 7 days post-CLP, with significant reductions in intestinal microvascular perfusion and increases in vascular leakage. Severe mitochondrial quality imbalance was observed in IMVECs. NGR1 (IC50 is 854.1 μM at 30 min) targeted Drp1, inhibiting mitochondrial translocation, preventing mitochondrial fragmentation and restoring IMVEC morphology and function, thus protecting against intestinal barrier dysfunction, vascular permeability, microcirculatory flow, and improving sepsis prognosis. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Drp1-mediated mitochondrial quality imbalance is a potential therapeutic target for sepsis. Small molecule natural drugs like NGR1 targeting Drp1 may offer new directions for organ protection following sepsis. Future research should focus on clinical trials to evaluate NGR1's efficacy across various patient populations, potentially leading to novel treatments for sepsis.

Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by progressive motor neuron (MN) degeneration. Various studies using cellular and animal models of ALS indicate that there is a complex interplay between MN and neighboring non-neuronal cells, such as astrocytes, resulting in noncell autonomous neurodegeneration. Astrocytes in ALS exhibit a lower ability to support MN survival than nondisease-associated ones, which is strongly correlated with low-mitochondrial respiratory activity. Indeed, pharmacological inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) led to an increase in the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation pathway as the primary source of cell energy in SOD1G93A astrocytes and restored the survival of MN. Among the four PDK isoforms, PDK2 is ubiquitously expressed in astrocytes and presents low expression levels in neurons. Herein, we hypothesize whether selective knockdown of PDK2 in astrocytes may increase mitochondrial activity and, in turn, reduce SOD1G93A-associated toxicity. To assess this, cultured neonatal SOD1G93A rat astrocytes were incubated with specific PDK2 siRNA. This treatment resulted in a reduction of the enzyme expression with a concomitant decrease in the phosphorylation rate of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. In addition, PDK2-silenced SOD1G93A astrocytes exhibited restored mitochondrial bioenergetics parameters, adopting a more complex mitochondrial network. This treatment also decreased lipid droplet content in SOD1G93A astrocytes, suggesting a switch in energetic metabolism. Significantly, PDK2 knockdown increased the ability of SOD1G93A astrocytes to support MN survival, further supporting the major role of astrocyte mitochondrial respiratory activity in astrocyte-MN interactions. These results suggest that PDK2 silencing could be a cell-specific therapeutic tool to slow the progression of ALS.

Abstract
Mitochondria are critical cellular energy resources and are central to the life of the neuron. Mitophagy selectively clears damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria through autophagic machinery to maintain mitochondrial quality control and homeostasis. Mature neurons are postmitotic and consume substantial energy, thus require highly efficient mitophagy pathways to turn over damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria. Recent evidence indicates that mitophagy is pivotal to the pathogenesis of neurological diseases. However, more work is needed to study mitophagy pathway components as potential therapeutic targets. In this review, we briefly discuss the characteristics of nonselective autophagy and selective autophagy, including ERphagy, aggrephagy, and mitophagy. We then introduce the mechanisms of Parkin-dependent and Parkin-independent mitophagy pathways under physiological conditions. Next, we summarize the diverse repertoire of mitochondrial membrane receptors and phospholipids that mediate mitophagy. Importantly, we review the critical role of mitophagy in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Last, we discuss recent studies considering mitophagy as a potential therapeutic target for treating neurodegenerative diseases. Together, our review may provide novel views to better understand the roles of mitophagy in neurodegenerative disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Following the publication of this paper, it was drawn to the Editors' attention by a concerned reader that the immunofluorescence data shown in Fig. 2G, the mitochondria‑ and lysosome‑stained images in Fig. 3C, the JC‑1 staining images in Fig. 4C and the immunofluorescence data in Fig. 5G were strikingly similar to data appearing in different form in other articles written by different authors at different research institutes that had either already been published elsewhere prior to the submission of this paper to Molecular Medicine Reports, or were under consideration for publication at around the same time. In view of the fact that certain of the abovementioned data had already apparently been published previously, the Editor of Molecular Medicine Reports has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal. After having been in contact with the authors, they agreed with the decision to retract the paper. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.

Abstract
A major consequence of aging and stress, in yeast to humans, is an increased accumulation of protein aggregates at distinct sites within the cells. Using genetic screens, immunoelectron microscopy, and three-dimensional modeling in our efforts to elucidate the importance of aggregate annexation, we found that most aggregates in yeast accumulate near the surface of mitochondria. Further, we show that virus-like particles (VLPs), which are part of the retrotransposition cycle of Ty elements, are markedly enriched in these sites of protein aggregation. RNA interference-mediated silencing of Ty expression perturbed aggregate sequestration to mitochondria, reduced overall protein aggregation, mitigated toxicity of a Huntington's disease model, and expanded the replicative lifespan of yeast in a partially Hsp104-dependent manner. The results are in line with recent data demonstrating that VLPs might act as aging factors in mammals, including humans, and extend these findings by linking VLPs to a toxic accumulation of protein aggregates and raising the possibility that they might negatively influence neurological disease progression.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is the final pathological change in renal disease, and aging is closely related to renal fibrosis. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported to play an important role in aging, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. Disulfide-bond A oxidoreductase-like protein (DsbA-L) is mainly located in mitochondria and plays an important role in regulating mitochondrial function and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. However, the role of DsbA-L in renal aging has not been reported. In this study, we showed a reduction in DsbA-L expression, the disruption of mitochondrial function and an increase in fibrosis in the kidneys of 12- and 24-month-old mice compared to young mice. Furthermore, the deterioration of mitochondrial dysfunction and fibrosis were observed in DsbA-L-/- mice with D-gal-induced accelerated aging. Transcriptome analysis revealed a decrease in Flt4 expression and inhibition of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in DsbA-L-/- mice compared to control mice. Accelerated renal aging could be alleviated by an AKT agonist (SC79) or a mitochondrial protector (MitoQ) in mice with D-gal-induced aging. In vitro, overexpression of DsbA-L in HK-2 cells restored the expression of Flt4, AKT pathway factors, SP1 and PGC-1α and alleviated mitochondrial damage and cell senescence. These beneficial effects were partially blocked by inhibiting Flt4. Finally, activating the AKT pathway or improving mitochondrial function with chemical reagents could alleviate cell senescence. Our results indicate that the DsbA-L/AKT/PGC-1α signaling pathway could be a therapeutic target for age-related renal fibrosis and is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
Copper is an essential trace element for animal. Excessive intake of copper will cause a large accumulation of copper in the body, especially in the liver, and induce hepatotoxicity, however, there are few studies on the effects of copper on hepatic mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial dynamics. In this study, mice were treated with different doses of CuSO4 (0, 10, 20, and 40 mg/kg) for 21 and 42 days by gavage. The results verified that CuSO4 decreased the content of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes I-IV in mouse liver. CuSO4 treatment resulted the decrease in the protein and mRNA expression levels of PGC-1α, TFAM, and NRF1, which were the mitochondrial biogenesis regulator proteins. Meanwhile, the proteins involved in mitochondrial fusion were reduced by CuSO4 , such as Mfn1 and Mfn2, however, mitochondrial fission proteins Drip1 and Fis1 were significantly increased. Abovementioned results show that CuSO4 could induce mitochondria damage in the liver of mice, and mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial dynamics are involved in the molecular mechanism of CuSO4 -induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Volatile anesthetics induce hyperpolarizing potassium currents in spinal cord neurons that may contribute to their mechanism of action. They are induced at lower concentrations of isoflurane in noncholinergic neurons from mice carrying a loss-of-function mutation of the Ndufs4 gene, required for mitochondrial complex I function. The yeast NADH dehydrogenase enzyme, NDi1, can restore mitochondrial function in the absence of normal complex I activity, and gain-of-function Ndi1 transgenic mice are resistant to volatile anesthetics. The authors tested whether NDi1 would reduce the hyperpolarization caused by isoflurane in neurons from Ndufs4 and wild-type mice. Since volatile anesthetic behavioral hypersensitivity in Ndufs4 is transduced uniquely by glutamatergic neurons, it was also tested whether these currents were also unique to glutamatergic neurons in the Ndufs4 spinal cord. METHODS Spinal cord neurons from wild-type, NDi1, and Ndufs4 mice were patch clamped to characterize isoflurane sensitive currents. Neuron types were marked using fluorescent markers for cholinergic, glutamatergic, and γ-aminobutyric acid-mediated (GABAergic) neurons. Norfluoxetine was used to identify potassium channel type. Neuron type-specific Ndufs4 knockout animals were generated using type-specific Cre-recombinase with floxed Ndufs4. RESULTS Resting membrane potentials (RMPs) of neurons from NDi1;Ndufs4, unlike those from Ndufs4, were not hyperpolarized by 0.6% isoflurane (Ndufs4, ΔRMP -8.2 mV [-10 to -6.6]; P = 1.3e-07; Ndi1;Ndufs4, ΔRMP -2.1 mV [-7.6 to +1.4]; P = 1). Neurons from NDi1 animals in a wild-type background were not hyperpolarized by 1.8% isoflurane (wild-type, ΔRMP, -5.2 mV [-7.3 to -3.2]; P = 0.00057; Ndi1, ΔRMP, 0.6 mV [-1.7 to 3.2]; P = 0.68). In spinal cord slices from global Ndufs4 animals, holding currents (HC) were induced by 0.6% isoflurane in both GABAergic (ΔHC, 81.3 pA [61.7 to 101.4]; P = 2.6e-05) and glutamatergic (ΔHC, 101.2 pA [63.0 to 146.2]; P = 0.0076) neurons. In neuron type-specific Ndufs4 knockouts, HCs were increased in cholinergic (ΔHC, 119.5 pA [82.3 to 156.7]; P = 0.00019) and trended toward increase in glutamatergic (ΔHC, 85.5 pA [49 to 126.9]; P = 0.064) neurons but not in GABAergic neurons. CONCLUSIONS Bypassing complex I by overexpression of NDi1 eliminates increases in potassium currents induced by isoflurane in the spinal cord. The isoflurane-induced potassium currents in glutamatergic neurons represent a potential downstream mechanism of complex I inhibition in determining minimum alveolar concentration.

Abstract
Fibrosis is associated with respiratory and limb muscle atrophy in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Current standard of care partially delays the progression of this myopathy but there remains an unmet need to develop additional therapies. Adiponectin receptor agonism has emerged as a possible therapeutic target to lower inflammation and improve metabolism in mdx mouse models of DMD but the degree to which fibrosis and atrophy are prevented remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the recently developed slow-release peptidomimetic adiponectin analog, ALY688-SR, remodels the diaphragm of murine model of DMD on DBA background (D2.mdx) mice treated from days 7-28 of age during early stages of disease. ALY688-SR also lowered interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNA but increased IL-6 and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) protein contents in diaphragm, suggesting dynamic inflammatory remodeling. ALY688-SR alleviated mitochondrial redox stress by decreasing complex I-stimulated H2O2 emission. Treatment also attenuated fibrosis, fiber type-specific atrophy, and in vitro diaphragm force production in diaphragm suggesting a complex relationship between adiponectin receptor activity, muscle remodeling, and force-generating properties during the very early stages of disease progression in murine model of DMD on DBA background (D2.mdx) mice. In tibialis anterior, the modest fibrosis at this young age was not altered by treatment, and atrophy was not apparent at this young age. These results demonstrate that short-term treatment of ALY688-SR in young D2.mdx mice partially prevents fibrosis and fiber type-specific atrophy and lowers force production in the more disease-apparent diaphragm in relation to lower mitochondrial redox stress and heterogeneous responses in certain inflammatory markers. These diverse muscle responses to adiponectin receptor agonism in early stages of DMD serve as a foundation for further mechanistic investigations.NEW & NOTEWORTHY There are limited therapies for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. As fibrosis involves an accumulation of collagen that replaces muscle fibers, antifibrotics may help preserve muscle function. We report that the novel adiponectin receptor agonist ALY688-SR prevents fibrosis in the diaphragm of D2.mdx mice with short-term treatment early in disease progression. These responses were related to altered inflammation and mitochondrial functions and serve as a foundation for the development of this class of therapy.

Abstract
Sufficient clinical evidence suggests that the damage caused by ischemic stroke to the body occurs not only in the acute phase but also during the recovery period, and that the latter has a greater impact on the long-term prognosis of the patient. However, current stroke studies have typically focused only on lesions in the central nervous system, ignoring secondary damage caused by this disease. Such a phenomenon arises from the slow progress of pathophysiological studies examining the central nervous system. Further, the appropriate therapeutic time window and benefits of thrombolytic therapy are still controversial, leading scholars to explore more pragmatic intervention strategies. As treatment measures targeting limb symptoms can greatly improve a patient's quality of life, they have become a critical intervention strategy. As the most vital component of the limbs, skeletal muscles have become potential points of concern. Despite this, to the best of our knowledge, there are no comprehensive reviews of pathophysiological changes and potential treatments for post-stroke skeletal muscle. The current review seeks to fill a gap in the current understanding of the pathological processes and mechanisms of muscle wasting atrophy, inflammation, neuroregeneration, mitochondrial changes, and nutritional dysregulation in stroke survivors. In addition, the challenges, as well as the optional solutions for individualized rehabilitation programs for stroke patients based on motor function are discussed.

Abstract
Tumor malignant cells are characterized by dysregulation of mitochondrial bioenergetics due to the 'Warburg effect'. In the present study, this metabolic imbalance was explored as a potential target for novel cancer chemotherapy. Imatinib (IM) downregulates the expression levels of SCΟ2 and FRATAXIN (FXN) genes involved in the heme‑dependent cytochrome c oxidase biosynthesis and assembly pathway in human erythroleukemic IM‑sensitive K‑562 chronic myeloid leukemia cells (K‑562). In the present study, it was investigated whether the treatment of cancer cells with IM (an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation) separately, or together with dichloroacetate (DCA) (an inhibitor of glycolysis), can inhibit cell proliferation or cause death. Human K‑562 and IM‑chemoresistant K‑562 chronic myeloid leukemia cells (K‑562R), as well as human colorectal carcinoma cells HCT‑116 (+/+p53) and (‑/‑p53, with double TP53 knock-in disruptions), were employed. Treatments of these cells with either IM (1 or 2 µM) and/or DCA (4 mΜ) were also assessed for the levels of several process biomarkers including SCO2, FXN, lactate dehydrogenase A, glyceraldehyde‑3‑phosphate dehydrogenase, pyruvate kinase M2, hypoxia inducing factor‑1a, heme oxygenase‑1, NF‑κB, stem cell factor and vascular endothelial growth factor via western blot analysis. Computational network biology models were also applied to reveal the connections between the ten proteins examined. Combination treatment of IM with DCA caused extensive cell death (>75%) in K‑562 and considerable (>45%) in HCT‑116 (+/+p53) cultures, but less in K‑562R and HCT‑116 (‑/‑p53), with the latter deficient in full length p53 protein. Such treatment, markedly reduced reactive oxygen species levels, as measured by flow‑cytometry, in K‑562 cells and affected the oxidative phosphorylation and glycolytic biomarkers in all lines examined. These findings indicated, that targeting of cancer mitochondrial bioenergetics with such a combination treatment was very effective, although chemoresistance to IM in leukemia and the absence of a full length p53 in colorectal cells affected its impact.

Abstract
α‑Phellandrene (α‑PA), a natural constituent of herbs, inhibits cancer cell viability and proliferation. 5‑Fluorouracil (5‑FU) is a frequently utilized chemotherapeutic medicine for the treatment of colon cancer, which works by triggering cancer cell apoptosis. The present study examined how the combination of α‑PA and 5‑FU affects the suppression of human colon cancer cells by promoting apoptosis. The impact of this treatment on cell viability, apoptosis, and the expression levels of Bcl‑2 family members, caspase family members and mitochondria‑related molecules in HT‑29 cells was assessed by the MTT assay, immunocytochemistry, western blotting and quantitative PCR. The combination of 5‑FU and α‑PA had a synergistic inhibitory effect on cell viability, as determined by assessing the combination index value. Bax protein expression levels were higher in the 50, 100 or 250 µM α‑PA combined with 5‑FU groups compared with those in the 5‑FU alone group (P<0.05). By contrast, Bcl‑2 protein expression levels and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP, ΔΨm) were lower in the 100 or 250 µM α‑PA combined with 5‑FU groups than those in the 5‑FU alone group (P<0.05). In addition, hexokinase‑2 (HK‑2) protein expression levels were lower in the 50, 100 or 250 µM α‑PA combined with 5‑FU groups than those in the 5‑FU alone group (P<0.05). Compared with 5‑FU alone, after HT‑29 cells were treated with 50, 100 or 250 µM α‑PA combined with 5‑FU, the mRNA expression levels of extrinsic‑induced apoptotic molecules, including caspase‑8 and Bid, were higher (P<0.05). Treatment with 50, 100 or 250 µM α‑PA combined with 5‑FU also increased the mRNA expression levels of cytochrome c, caspase‑9 and caspase‑3, regulating intrinsic apoptosis (P<0.05). These results showed that α‑PA and 5‑FU had a synergistic effect on reducing the viability of human colon cancer HT‑29 cells by inducing extrinsic and intrinsic apoptosis pathways. The mechanism by which apoptosis is induced may involve the intrinsic apoptosis pathway that activates the mitochondria‑dependent pathway, including regulating the expression levels of Bcl‑2 family members, including Bax, Bcl‑2 and Bid, regulating MMP and HK‑2 expression levels, and increasing the expression of caspase cascade molecules, including caspase‑9 and caspase‑3. In addition, it may involve the extrinsic apoptosis pathway that activates caspase‑8 and caspase‑3 leading to apoptosis.

Abstract
Duck plague virus (DPV) is extremely infectious and lethal, so antiviral drugs are urgently needed. Our previous study shows that DPV infection with duck embryo fibroblast (DEF) induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) changes and promotes apoptosis. In this study, we tested the antiviral effect of the carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP), a common mitochondrial autophagy inducer. Our results demonstrated a dose-dependent anti-DPV effect of CCCP, CCCP-treatment blocked the intercellular transmission of DPV after infection, and we also proved that CCCP could have an antiviral effect up to 48 hpi. The addition of CCCP reversed the DPV-induced ROS changes, CCCP can inhibit virus-induced apoptosis; meanwhile, CCCP can affect mitochondrial fusion and activate mitophagy to inhibit DPV. In conclusion, CCCP can be an effective antiviral candidate against DPV.

Abstract
Whether human cells are impacted by environmental electromagnetic fields (EMF) is still a matter of debate. With the deployment of the fifth generation (5G) of mobile communication technologies, the carrier frequency is increasing and the human skin becomes the main biological target. Here, we evaluated the impact of 5G-modulated 3.5 GHz radiofrequency (RF) EMF on mitochondrial stress in human fibroblasts and keratinocytes that were exposed for 24 h at specific absorption rate of 0.25, 1, and 4 W/kg. We assessed cell viability, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and membrane polarization. Knowing that human skin is the main target of environmental ultraviolet (UV), using the same read-out, we investigated whether subsequent exposure to 5G signal could alter the capacity of UV-B to damage skin cells. We found a statistically significant reduction in mitochondrial ROS concentration in fibroblasts exposed to 5G signal at 1 W/kg. On the contrary, the RF exposure slightly but statistically significantly enhanced the effects of UV-B radiation specifically in keratinocytes at 0.25 and 1 W/kg. No effect was found on mitochondrial membrane potential or apoptosis in any cell types or exposure conditions suggesting that the type and amplitude of the observed effects are very punctual.

Abstract
This study investigated if acylated ghrelin (AG) could inhibit myocardial infarction (MI)-induced apoptosis in the left ventricles (LV) of male rats and tested if this protection involves modulating ARC anti-apoptotic protein. Rats (n = 12/group) were assigned as a sham-operated, a sham + AG (100 µg/kg, 2x/d, S.C.), MI, and MI + AG. With no antioxidant activity or expression of FAS, AG inhibited caspase-3, 8, and 9 and decreased cytosolic/mitochondrial levels of cytochrome-c, Bax, Bad, and Bad-BCL-2 complex in the LVs of the sham-operated and MI-treated rats. Concomitantly, AG preserved the mitochondria structure, decreased mtPTP, and enhanced state-3 respiration in the LVs of both treated groups. These effects were associated with increased mitochondrial levels of ARC and a reduction in the activity of calcineurin. Overall, AG suppresses MI-induced ventricular apoptosis by inhibition of calcineurin, activation of ARC, and preserving mitochondria integrity.

Abstract
Chronic alcohol intoxication decreases muscle strength/function and causes mitochondrial dysfunction. Aerobic exercise training improves mitochondrial oxidative capacity and increases muscle mass and strength. Presently, the impact of chronic alcohol on aerobic exercise-induced adaptations was investigated. Female C57BL/6Hsd mice were randomly assigned to one of four groups: control sedentary (CON SED; n = 26), alcohol sedentary (ETOH SED; n = 27), control exercise (CON EX; n = 28), and alcohol exercise (ETOH EX; n = 25). Exercise mice had running wheel access for 2 h a day, 7 days a week. All mice were fed either control or an alcohol-containing liquid diet. Grip strength testing and EchoMRI were performed before and after the interventions. After 6 wk, hindlimb muscles were collected for molecular analyses. A subset of mice performed a treadmill run to fatigue (RTF), then abstained from alcohol for 2 wk and repeated the RTF. Alcohol decreased lean mass and forelimb grip strength compared with control-fed mice. Alcohol blunted the exercise-induced increase in muscle mass (plantaris and soleus), type IIa fiber percentage in the plantaris, and run time to fatigue. Mitochondrial markers (Citrate synthase activity and Complex I-IV, COXIV and Cytochrome C protein expression) were increased with exercise regardless of ETOH in the gastrocnemius but not tibialis anterior muscle. Two weeks of alcohol abstinence improved RTF time in ETOH EX but not in ETOH SED. These data suggest that alcohol impairs some exercise-induced adaptations in skeletal muscle, but not all were negatively affected, indicating that exercise may be a beneficial behavior even while consuming alcohol.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Alcohol consumption during an aerobic exercise training period prevented training-induced increases in run to fatigue time and grip strength. Cessation of alcohol allowed for recovery of endurance performance within 2 wk. The worsened exercise performance after alcohol was unrelated to impairments in markers of mitochondrial health. Therefore, some adaptations to exercise training are impaired with alcohol use (endurance performance, muscle growth, and strength), while others remain mostly unaffected (mitochondrial health).

Abstract
PARP-1 over-activation results in cell death via excessive PAR generation in different cell types, including neurons following brain ischemia. Glycolysis, mitochondrial function, and redox balance are key cellular processes altered in brain ischemia. Studies show that PAR generated after PARP-1 over-activation can bind hexokinase-1 (HK-1) and result in glycolytic defects and subsequent mitochondrial dysfunction. HK-1 is the neuronal hexokinase and catalyzes the first reaction of glycolysis, converting glucose to glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), a common substrate for glycolysis, and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). PPP is critical in maintaining NADPH and GSH levels via G6P dehydrogenase activity. Therefore, defects in HK-1 will not only decrease cellular bioenergetics but will also cause redox imbalance due to the depletion of GSH. In brain ischemia, whether PAR-mediated inhibition of HK-1 results in bioenergetics defects and redox imbalance is not known. We used oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in mouse cortical neurons to mimic brain ischemia in neuronal cultures and observed that PARP-1 activation via PAR formation alters glycolysis, mitochondrial function, and redox homeostasis in neurons. We used pharmacological inhibition of PARP-1 and adenoviral-mediated overexpression of wild-type HK-1 (wtHK-1) and PAR-binding mutant HK-1 (pbmHK-1). Our data show that PAR inhibition or overexpression of HK-1 significantly improves glycolysis, mitochondrial function, redox homeostasis, and cell survival in mouse cortical neurons exposed to OGD. These results suggest that PAR binding and inhibition of HK-1 during OGD drive bioenergetic defects in neurons due to inhibition of glycolysis and impairment of mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by progressive loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons from the substantia nigra (SN) and α-synuclein (αSyn) accumulation. Age is the biggest risk factor for PD and may create a vulnerable pre-parkinsonian state, but the drivers of this association are unclear. It is known that ageing increases αSyn expression in DA neurons and that this may alter molecular processes that are central to maintaining nigrostriatal integrity. To model this, adult female Sprague-Dawley rats received a unilateral intranigral injection of adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector carrying wild-type human αSyn (AAV-αSyn) or control vector (AAV-Null). AAV-αSyn induced no detrimental effects on motor behaviour, but there was expression of human wild-type αSyn throughout the midbrain and ipsilateral striatum at 20 weeks post-surgery. Microarray analysis revealed that the gene most-upregulated in the ipsilateral SN of the AAV-αSyn group was the SKI Family Transcriptional Corepressor 1 (SKOR1). Bioenergetic state analysis of mitochondrial function found that SKOR1 overexpression reduced the maximum rate of cellular respiration in SH-SY5Y cells. Furthermore, experiments in SH-SY5Y cells revealed that SKOR1 overexpression impaired neurite growth to the same extent as αSyn, and inhibited BMP-SMAD-dependent transcription, a pathway that promotes DA neuronal survival and growth. Given the normal influence of ageing on DA neuron loss in human SN, the extent of αSyn-induced SKOR1 expression may influence whether an individual undergoes normal nigrostriatal ageing or reaches a threshold for prodromal PD. This provides new insight into mechanisms through which ageing-related increases in αSyn may influence molecular mechanisms important for the maintenance of neuronal integrity.

Abstract
Certain cancer cells within solid tumors experience hypoxia, rendering them incapable of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Despite this oxygen deficiency, these cells exhibit biochemical pathway activity that relies on NAD+. This mini-review scrutinizes the persistent, residual Complex I activity that oxidizes NADH in the absence of oxygen as the electron acceptor. The resulting NAD+ assumes a pivotal role in fueling the α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, a critical component in the oxidative decarboxylation branch of glutaminolysis - a hallmark oncometabolic pathway. The proposition is that through glutamine catabolism, high-energy phosphate intermediates are produced via substrate-level phosphorylation in the mitochondrial matrix substantiated by succinyl-CoA ligase, partially compensating for an OXPHOS deficiency. These insights provide a rationale for exploring Complex I inhibitors in cancer treatment, even when OXPHOS functionality is already compromised.

Abstract
Physiological dysfunction confers negative valence to coincidental sensory cues to induce the formation of aversive associative memory. How peripheral tissue stress engages neuromodulatory mechanisms to form aversive memory is poorly understood. Here, we show that in the nematode C. elegans, mitochondrial disruption induces aversive memory through peroxisomal β-oxidation genes in non-neural tissues, including pmp-4/very-long-chain fatty acid transporter, dhs-28/3-hydroxylacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and daf-22/3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase. Upregulation of peroxisomal β-oxidation genes under mitochondrial stress requires the nuclear hormone receptor NHR-49. Importantly, the memory-promoting function of peroxisomal β-oxidation is independent of its canonical role in pheromone production. Peripheral signals derived from the peroxisomes target NSM, a critical neuron for memory formation under stress, to upregulate serotonin synthesis and remodel evoked responses to sensory cues. Our genetic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic approaches establish peroxisomal lipid signaling as a crucial mechanism that connects peripheral mitochondrial stress to central serotonin neuromodulation in aversive memory formation.

Abstract
Partial reprogramming by cyclic short-term expression of Yamanaka factors holds promise for shifting cells to younger states and consequently delaying the onset of many diseases of aging. However, the delivery of transgenes and potential risk of teratoma formation present challenges for in vivo applications. Recent advances include the use of cocktails of compounds to reprogram somatic cells, but the characteristics and mechanisms of partial cellular reprogramming by chemicals remain unclear. Here, we report a multi-omics characterization of partial chemical reprogramming in fibroblasts from young and aged mice. We measured the effects of partial chemical reprogramming on the epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, phosphoproteome, and metabolome. At the transcriptome, proteome, and phosphoproteome levels, we saw widescale changes induced by this treatment, with the most notable signature being an upregulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Furthermore, at the metabolome level, we observed a reduction in the accumulation of aging-related metabolites. Using both transcriptomic and epigenetic clock-based analyses, we show that partial chemical reprogramming reduces the biological age of mouse fibroblasts. We demonstrate that these changes have functional impacts, as evidenced by changes in cellular respiration and mitochondrial membrane potential. Taken together, these results illuminate the potential for chemical reprogramming reagents to rejuvenate aged biological systems and warrant further investigation into adapting these approaches for in vivo age reversal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oestrogen deficiency increases bone resorption, contributing to osteoporosis development. Yet, the mechanisms mediating the effects of oestrogen on osteoclasts remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the early metabolic alteration induced by RANKL, the essential cytokine in osteoclastogenesis and 17-beta-oestradiol (E2) on osteoclast progenitor cells, using RAW 264.7 macrophage cell line and primary bone marrow-derived macrophages as biological models. RESULTS This research demonstrated that, in osteoclast precursors, RANKL stimulates complex I activity, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and mitochondria-derived ATP production as early as 3 h of exposure. This effect on mitochondrial bioenergetics is associated with an increased capacity to oxidize TCA cycle substrates, fatty acids and amino acids. E2 inhibited all effects of RANKL on mitochondria metabolism. In the presence of RANKL, E2 also decreased cell number and stimulated the mitochondrial-mediated apoptotic pathway, detected as early as 3 h. Further, the pro-apoptotic effects of E2 during osteoclast differentiation were associated with an accumulation of p392S-p53 in mitochondria. CONCLUSIONS These findings elucidate the early effects of RANKL on osteoclast progenitor metabolism and suggest novel p53-mediated mechanisms that contribute to postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Thioredoxins (TRXs) are central to redox regulation, modulating enzyme activities to adapt metabolism to environmental changes. Previous research emphasized mitochondrial and microsomal TRX o1 and h2 influence on mitochondrial metabolism, including photorespiration and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Our study aimed to compare TRX-based regulation circuits towards environmental cues mainly affecting photorespiration. Metabolite snapshots, phenotypes and CO2 assimilation were compared among single and multiple TRX mutants in the wild-type and the glycine decarboxylase T-protein knockdown (gldt1) background. Our analyses provided evidence for additive negative effects of combined TRX o1 and h2 deficiency on growth and photosynthesis. Especially metabolite accumulation patterns suggest a shared regulation mechanism mainly on mitochondrial dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (mtLPD1)-dependent pathways. Quantification of pyridine nucleotides, in conjunction with 13C-labelling approaches, and biochemical analysis of recombinant mtLPD1 supported this. It also revealed mtLPD1 inhibition by NADH, pointing at an additional measure to fine-tune it's activity. Collectively, we propose that lack of TRX o1 and h2 perturbs the mitochondrial redox state, which impacts on other pathways through shifts in the NADH/NAD+ ratio via mtLPD1. This regulation module might represent a node for simultaneous adjustments of photorespiration, the TCA cycle and branched chain amino acid degradation under fluctuating environmental conditions.

Abstract
To maintain mitochondrial homeostasis, damaged or excessive mitochondria are culled in coordination with the physiological state of the cell. The integrated stress response (ISR) is a signaling network that recognizes diverse cellular stresses, including mitochondrial dysfunction. Because the four ISR branches converge to common outputs, it is unclear whether mitochondrial stress detected by this network can regulate mitophagy, the autophagic degradation of mitochondria. Using a whole-genome screen, we show that the heme-regulated inhibitor (HRI) branch of the ISR selectively induces mitophagy. Activation of the HRI branch results in mitochondrial localization of phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor 2, which we show is sufficient to induce mitophagy. The HRI mitophagy pathway operates in parallel with the mitophagy pathway controlled by the Parkinson's disease related genes PINK1 and PARKIN and is mechanistically distinct. Therefore, HRI repurposes machinery that is normally used for translational initiation to trigger mitophagy in response to mitochondrial damage.

Abstract
High-intensity exercise stimulates glycolysis, subsequently leading to elevated lactate production within skeletal muscle. While lactate produced within the muscle is predominantly released into the circulation via the monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4), recent research underscores lactate's function as an intercellular and intertissue signalling molecule. However, its specific intracellular roles within muscle cells remains less defined. In this study, our objective was to elucidate the effects of increased intramuscular lactate accumulation on skeletal muscle adaptation to training. To achieve this, we developed MCT4 knockout mice and confirmed that a lack of MCT4 indeed results in pronounced lactate accumulation in skeletal muscle during high-intensity exercise. A key finding was the significant enhancement in endurance exercise capacity at high intensities when MCT4 deficiency was paired with high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Furthermore, metabolic adaptations supportive of this enhanced exercise capacity were evident with the combination of MCT4 deficiency and HIIT. Specifically, we observed a substantial uptick in the activity of glycolytic enzymes, notably hexokinase, glycogen phosphorylase and pyruvate kinase. The mitochondria also exhibited heightened pyruvate oxidation capabilities, as evidenced by an increase in oxygen consumption when pyruvate served as the substrate. This mitochondrial adaptation was further substantiated by elevated pyruvate dehydrogenase activity, increased activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase - the rate-limiting enzyme in the TCA cycle - and enhanced function of cytochrome c oxidase, pivotal to the electron transport chain. Our findings provide new insights into the physiological consequences of lactate accumulation in skeletal muscle during high-intensity exercises, deepening our grasp of the molecular intricacies underpinning exercise adaptation. KEY POINTS: We pioneered a unique line of monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) knockout mice specifically tailored to the ICR strain, an optimal background for high-intensity exercise studies. A deficiency in MCT4 exacerbates the accumulation of lactate in skeletal muscle during high-intensity exercise. Pairing MCT4 deficiency with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) results in a synergistic boost in high-intensity exercise capacity, observable both at the organismal level (via a treadmill running test) and at the muscle tissue level (through an ex vivo muscle contractile function test). Coordinating MCT4 deficiency with HIIT enhances both the glycolytic enzyme activities and mitochondrial capacity to oxidize pyruvate.

Abstract
ATP synthase inhibitory factor subunit 1 (IF1) is an inhibitory subunit of mitochondrial ATP synthase, playing a crucial role in regulating mitochondrial respiration and energetics. It is well-established that IF1 interacts with the F1 sector of ATP synthase to inhibit the reversal rotation and, thus, ATP hydrolysis. Recent evidence supports that IF1 also inhibits forward rotation or the ATP synthesis activity. Adding to the complexity, IF1 may also facilitate mitophagy and cristae formation. The implications of these complex actions of IF1 for cellular function remain obscure. In the present study, we found that IF1 expression was markedly upregulated in hypoxic MEFs relative to normoxic MEFs. We investigate how IF1 affects cellular growth and function in cultured mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from mouse lines with systemic IF1 overexpression and knockout under normoxia and hypoxia. Cell survival and proliferation analyses revealed that IF1 overexpression exerted limited effects on cellular viability but substantially increased proliferation under normoxia, whereas it facilitated both cellular viability and proliferation under hypoxia. The absence of IF1 may have a pro-survival effect but not a proliferative one in both normoxia and hypoxia. Cellular bioenergetic analyses revealed that IF1 suppressed cellular respiration when subjected to normoxia and was even more pronounced when subjected to hypoxia with increased mitochondrial ATP production. In contrast, IF1 knockout MEFs showed markedly increased cellular respiration under both normoxia and hypoxia with little change in mitochondrial ATP. Glycolytic stress assay revealed that IF1 overexpression modestly increased glycolysis in normoxia and hypoxia. Interestingly, the absence of IF1 in MEFs led to substantial increases in glycolysis. Therefore, we conclude that IF1 mainly inhibits cellular respiration and enhances cellular glycolysis to preserve mitochondrial ATP. On the other hand, IF1 deletion can significantly facilitate cellular respiration and glycolysis without leading to mitochondrial ATP deficit.

Abstract
Osteoporosis (OP) is a common age-related disease. OP is mainly a decrease in bone density and mass caused by the destruction of bone microstructure, which leads to an increase in bone fragility. SIRT3 is a mitochondrial deacetylase that plays critical roles in mitochondrial homeostasis, metabolic regulation, gene transcription, stress response, and gene stability. Studies have shown that the higher expression levels of SIRT3 are associated with decreased levels of oxidative stress in the body and may play important roles in the prevention of age-related diseases. SIRTs can enhance the osteogenic potential and osteoblastic activity of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells not only by enhancing PGC-1α, FOXO3, SOD2, and oxidative phosphorylation, but also by anti-aging and reducing mitochondrial autophagy. SIRT3 is able to upregulate antioxidant enzymes to exert an inhibitory effect on osteoclasts, however, it has been shown that the inflammatory cascade response can in turn increase SIRT3 and inhibit osteoclast differentiation through the AMPK-PGC-1β pathway. SIRT3 plays an important role in different types of osteoporosis by affecting osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and bone marrow mesenchymal cells. In this review, we discuss the classification and physiological functions of SIRTs, the effects of SIRT3 on OCs osteoblasts, and BMSCs, and the roles and mechanisms of SIRT3 in different types of OP, such as diabetic OP, glucocorticoid-induced OP, postmenopausal OP, and senile OP.

Abstract
The cellular mechanisms underlying axonal morphogenesis are essential to the formation of functional neuronal networks. We previously identified the autism-linked kinase NUAK1 as a central regulator of axon branching through the control of mitochondria trafficking. However, (1) the relationship between mitochondrial position, function and axon branching and (2) the downstream effectors whereby NUAK1 regulates axon branching remain unknown. Here, we report that mitochondria recruitment to synaptic boutons supports collateral branches stabilization rather than formation in mouse cortical neurons. NUAK1 deficiency significantly impairs mitochondrial metabolism and axonal ATP concentration, and upregulation of mitochondrial function is sufficient to rescue axonal branching in NUAK1 null neurons in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we found that NUAK1 regulates axon branching through the mitochondria-targeted microprotein BRAWNIN. Our results demonstrate that NUAK1 exerts a dual function during axon branching through its ability to control mitochondrial distribution and metabolic activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study explored the mitigating properties of hyperin (HYP) on renotoxicity induced by cadmium chloride (CdCl2). METHODS Four groups of seven male albino mice each were used in this experiment. Group 1 served as the control, receiving no treatment. Group 2 received daily oral gavage of CdCl2 at 0.3 mg/kg body weight for 28 d. Group 3 received both CdCl2 (0.3 mg/kg) and HYP (100 mg/kg) daily using the same administration method. Finally, Group 4 received only HYP (100 mg/kg) daily. RESULTS Cd exposure significantly increased kidney dysfunction markers (blood urea nitrogen and creatinine) and oxidative stress (reactive oxygen species [ROS] and malondialdehyde [MDA]). Conversely, it decreased antioxidant enzyme activities (glutathione peroxidase (GPx] and catalase [CAT]) and glutathione (GSH) levels. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) and antioxidant gene expression decreased, while Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 expression increased. Additionally, Cd exposure increased inflammatory mediators (nuclear factor kappa B, tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α], interleukin-1β [IL-1β], and cyclooxygenase-2) and apoptotic markers (Bax and caspase-3), alongside decreased Bcl-2 expression and renal tissue abnormalities. Mitochondrial dysfunction manifested with diminished activities of Krebs cycle and respiratory chain enzymes, and reduced mitochondrial membrane potential. Co-treatment with HYP significantly attenuated these detrimental effects through its anti-apoptotic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. CONCLUSION HYP co-treatment significantly attenuated CdCl2-induced renal damage in mice, suggesting its potential as a protective agent against Cd-induced kidney toxicity.

Abstract
Cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction is a critical contributor to the pathogenesis of aging and many age-related conditions. As such, complete control of mitochondrial function is critical to maintain cardiac efficiency in the aged heart. Lysine acetylation is a reversible post-translational modification shown to regulate several mitochondrial metabolic and biochemical processes. In the present study, we investigated how mitochondrial lysine acetylation regulates fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and cardiac function in the aged heart. We found a significant increase in mitochondrial protein acetylation in the aged heart which correlated with increased level of mitochondrial acetyltransferase-related protein GCN5L1. We showed that acetylation status of several fatty acid and glucose oxidation enzymes (long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase, hydroxyacyl-coA dehydrogenase, and pyruvate dehydrogenase) were significantly up-regulated in aged heart which correlated with decreased enzymatic activities. Using a cardiac-specific GCN5L1 knockout (KO) animal model, we showed that overall acetylation of mitochondrial proteins was decreased in aged KO animals, including FAO proteins which led to improved FAO activity and attenuated cardiac diastolic dysfunction observed in the aged heart. Together, these findings indicate that lysine acetylation regulates FAO in the aged heart which results in improved cardiac diastolic function and this is in part regulated by GCN5L1.

Abstract
Significance: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has become a major global public health problem and there is an urgent need to elucidate its pathogenesis and find more effective targets and modalities for intervention. Recent Advances: Oxidative stress and inflammation are two of the major causes of MetS-related symptoms such as insulin resistance and obesity. Nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) is one of the important systems responding to oxidative stress and inflammation. As cells undergo stress, cysteines within Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) are oxidized or electrophilically modified, allowing Nrf2 to escape ubiquitination and be translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, facilitating the initiation of the antioxidant transcriptional program. Meanwhile, a growing body of evidence points out a specific modulation of mitochondrial homeostasis by Nrf2. After nuclear translocation, Nrf2 activates downstream genes involved in various aspects of mitochondrial homeostasis, including mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics, mitophagy, aerobic respiration, and energy metabolism. In turn, mitochondria reciprocally activate Nrf2 by releasing reactive oxygen species and regulating antioxidant enzymes. Critical Issues: In this review, we first summarize the interactions between Nrf2 and mitochondria in the modulation of oxidative stress and inflammation to ameliorate MetS, then propose that Nrf2 and mitochondria form a mutually regulating circuit critical to maintaining homeostasis during MetS. Future Directions: Targeting the Nrf2-mitochondrial circuit may be a promising strategy to ameliorate MetS, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
The dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC) plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the plasma membrane and the neuromuscular junction. In this study, we investigated the impact of the deficiency of α-dystrobrevin (αdbn), a component of the DGC, on the homeostasis of intracellular organelles, specifically mitochondria and the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). In αdbn deficient muscles, we observed a significant increase in the membrane-bound ATP synthase complex levels, a marker for mitochondria in oxidative muscle fiber types compared to wild-type. Furthermore, examination of muscle fibers deficient in αdbn using electron microscopy revealed profound alterations in the organization of mitochondria and the SR within certain myofibrils of muscle fibers. This included the formation of hyper-branched intermyofibrillar mitochondria with extended connections, an extensive network spanning several myofibrils, and a substantial increase in the number/density of subsarcolemmal mitochondria. Concurrently, in some cases, we observed significant structural alterations in mitochondria, such as cristae loss, fragmentation, swelling, and the formation of vacuoles and inclusions within the mitochondrial matrix cristae. Muscles deficient in αdbn also displayed notable alterations in the morphology of the SR, along with the formation of distinct anomalous concentric SR structures known as whorls. These whorls were prevalent in αdbn-deficient mice but were absent in wild-type muscles. These results suggest a crucial role of the DGC αdbn in regulating intracellular organelles, particularly mitochondria and the SR, within muscle cells. The remodeling of the SR and the formation of whorls may represent a novel mechanism of the unfolded protein response (UPR) in muscle cells.

Abstract
Morphological and structural remodeling of the heart, including cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, has been considered a therapeutic target for heart failure for approximately three decades. Groundbreaking heart failure medications demonstrating reverse remodeling effects have contributed significantly to medical advancements. However, nearly 50% of heart failure patients still exhibit drug resistance, posing a challenge to the healthcare system. Recently, characteristics of heart failure resistant to ARBs and β-blockers have been defined, highlighting preserved systolic function despite impaired diastolic function, leading to the classification of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The pathogenesis and etiology of HFpEF may be related to metabolic abnormalities, as evidenced by its mimicry through endothelial dysfunction and excessive intake of high-fat diets. Our recent findings indicate a significant involvement of mitochondrial hyper-fission in the progression of heart failure. This mitochondrial pathological remodeling is associated with redox imbalance, especially hydrogen sulfide accumulation due to abnormal electron leak in myocardium. In this review, we also introduce a novel therapeutic strategy for heart failure from the current perspective of mitochondrial redox-metabolic remodeling.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death accompanied by lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in an iron-dependent manner. However, the efficiency of tumorous ferroptosis was seriously restricted by intracellular ferroptosis defense systems, the glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) system, and the ubiquinol (CoQH2) system. Inspired by the crucial role of mitochondria in the ferroptosis process, we reported a prodrug nanoassembly capable of unleashing potent mitochondrial lipid peroxidation and ferroptotic cell death. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibitor (QA) was combined with triphenylphosphonium moiety through a disulfide-containing linker to engineer well-defined nanoassemblies (QSSP) within a single-molecular framework. After being trapped in cancer cells, the acidic condition provoked the structural disassembly of QSSP to liberate free prodrug molecules. The mitochondrial membrane-potential-driven accumulation of the lipophilic cation prodrug was delivered explicitly into the mitochondria. Afterward, the thiol-disulfide exchange would occur accompanied by downregulation of reduced glutathione levels, thus resulting in mitochondria-localized GPX4 inactivation for ferroptosis. Simultaneously, the released QA from the hydrolysis reaction of the adjacent ester bond could further devastate mitochondrial defense and evoke robust ferroptosis via the DHODH-CoQH2 system. This subcellular targeted nanoassembly provides a reference for designing ferroptosis-based strategy for efficient cancer therapy through interfering antiferroptosis systems.

Abstract
In pyloric metaplasia, mature gastric chief cells reprogram via an evolutionarily conserved process termed paligenosis to re-enter the cell cycle and become spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) cells. Here, we use single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) following injury to the murine stomach to analyze mechanisms governing paligenosis at high resolution. Injury causes induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) with coordinated changes in mitochondrial activity and cellular metabolism, requiring the transcriptional mitochondrial regulator Ppargc1a (Pgc1α) and ROS regulator Nf2el2 (Nrf2). Loss of the ROS and mitochondrial control in Ppargc1a-/- mice causes the death of paligenotic cells through ferroptosis. Blocking the cystine transporter SLC7A11(xCT), which is critical in lipid radical detoxification through glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), also increases ferroptosis. Finally, we show that PGC1α-mediated ROS and mitochondrial changes also underlie the paligenosis of pancreatic acinar cells. Altogether, the results detail how metabolic and mitochondrial changes are necessary for injury response, regeneration, and metaplasia in the stomach.

Abstract
Control of protein stoichiometry is essential for cell function. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) presents a complex stoichiometric challenge as the ratio of the electron transport chain (ETC) and ATP synthase must be tightly controlled, and assembly requires coordinated integration of proteins encoded in the nuclear and mitochondrial genome. How correct OXPHOS stoichiometry is achieved is unknown. We identify the MitochondrialRegulatory hub for respiratoryAssembly (MiRA) platform, which synchronizes ETC and ATP synthase biogenesis in yeast. Molecularly, this is achieved by a stop-and-go mechanism: the uncharacterized protein Mra1 stalls complex IV assembly. Two "Go" signals are required for assembly progression: binding of the complex IV assembly factor Rcf2 and Mra1 interaction with an Atp9-translating mitoribosome induce Mra1 degradation, allowing synchronized maturation of complex IV and the ATP synthase. Failure of the stop-and-go mechanism results in cell death. MiRA controls OXPHOS assembly, ensuring correct stoichiometry of protein machineries encoded by two different genomes.

Abstract
The involvement of the TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) cation channel on the 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU)-caused Ca2+ signals through the activation of the apoptotic signaling pathway and stimulating the mitochondrial Ca2+ and Zn2+ accumulation-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) productions in several cancer cells, except the colorectal cancer (HT-29) cell line, was recently reported. I aimed to investigate the action of silver nanoparticles (SiNPs) and 5-FU incubations through the activation of TRPV1 on ROS, apoptosis, and cell death in the HT-29 cell line. The cells were divided into four groups: control, SiNP (100 µM for 48 h), 5-FU (25 μM for 24 h), and 5-FU + SiNP. SiNP treatment through TRPV1 activation (via capsaicin) stimulated the oxidant and apoptotic actions of 5-FU in the cells, whereas they were diminished in the cells by the TRPV1 antagonist (capsazepine) treatment. The apoptotic and cell death actions of 5-FU were determined by increasing the propidium iodide/Hoechst rate, caspase-3, -8, and -9 activations, mitochondrial membrane depolarization, lipid peroxidation, and ROS, but decreasing the glutathione and glutathione peroxidase. The increase of cytosolic free Ca2+ and Zn2+ into mitochondria via the stimulation of TRPV1 current density increased oxidant and apoptotic properties of 5-FU in the cells. For the therapy of HT-29 tumor cells, I found that the combination of SiNPs and 5-FU was synergistic via TRPV1 activation.

Abstract
The electron transport chain (ETC) couples electron transfer with proton pumping to generate ATP and it also regulates particular innate and adaptive immune cell function. While NLRP3 inflammasome activation was initially linked to reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced from Complexes I and III, recent research suggests that an intact ETC fueling ATP is needed. Complex II may be responsible for Th1 cell proliferation and in some cases, effector cytokine production. Complex III is required for regulatory T (Treg) cell function, while oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and Complexes I, IV, and V sustain proliferation and antibody production in B lymphocytes, with OXPHOS also being required for B regulatory (Breg) cell function. Despite challenges, the ETC shows therapeutic targeting potential for immune-related diseases and in immuno-oncology.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and lethal form of human brain tumors. Dismantling the suppressed immune microenvironment is an effective therapeutic strategy against GBM; however, GBM does not respond to exogenous immunotherapeutic agents due to low immunogenicity. Manipulating the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) elevates the immunogenicity of GBM, rendering previously immune-evasive tumors highly susceptible to immune surveillance, thereby enhancing tumor immune responsiveness and subsequently activating both innate and adaptive immunity. Here, we report a nanomedicine-based immunotherapeutic approach that targets the mitochondria in GBM cells by utilizing a Trojan-inspired nanovector (ABBPN) that can cross the blood-brain barrier. We propose that the synthetic photosensitizer IrPS can alter mitochondrial electron flow and concurrently interfere with mitochondrial antioxidative mechanisms by delivering si-OGG1 to GBM cells. Our synthesized ABBPN coloaded with IrPS and si-OGG1 (ISA) disrupts mitochondrial electron flow, which inhibits ATP production and induces mitochondrial DNA oxidation, thereby recruiting immune cells and endogenously activating intracranial antitumor immune responses. The results of our study indicate that strategies targeting the mitochondrial ETC have the potential to treat tumors with limited immunogenicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People with alcohol use disorder (AUD) have an increased risk of developing pneumonia and pulmonary diseases. Alveolar macrophages (AMs) are immune cells of the lower respiratory tract that are necessary for clearance of pathogens. However, alcohol causes AM oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage and dysfunction, and diminished phagocytic capacity, leading to lung injury and immune suppression. METHODS AMs were isolated by bronchoalveolar lavage from people with AUD and male and female C57BL/6J mice given chronic ethanol (20% w/v, 12 weeks) in drinking water. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ ligand, pioglitazone, was used to treat human AMs ex vivo (10 μM, 24 h) and mice in vivo by oral gavage (10 mg/kg/day). Levels of AM mitochondrial superoxide and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) mRNA, a marker of oxidative stress, were measured by fluorescence microscopy and RT-qPCR, respectively. Mouse AM phagocytic ability was determined by internalized Staphylococcus aureus, and mitochondrial capacity, dependency, and flexibility for glucose, long-chain fatty acid, and glutamine oxidation were measured using an extracellular flux analyzer. In vitro studies used a murine AM cell line, MH-S (±0.08% ethanol, 72 h) to investigate mitochondrial fuel oxidation and ATP-linked respiration. RESULTS Pioglitazone treatment decreased mitochondrial superoxide in AMs from people with AUD and ethanol-fed mice and HIF-1α mRNA in ethanol-fed mouse lungs. Pioglitazone also reversed mouse AM glutamine oxidation and glucose or long-chain fatty acid flexibility to meet basal oxidation needs. In vitro, ethanol decreased the rate of AM mitochondrial and total ATP production, and pioglitazone improved changes in glucose and glutamine oxidation. CONCLUSIONS Pioglitazone reversed chronic alcohol-induced oxidative stress in human AM and mitochondrial substrate oxidation flexibility and superoxide levels in mouse AM. Decreased ethanol-induced AM HIF-1α mRNA with pioglitazone suggests that this pathway may be a focus for metabolic-targeted therapeutics to improve morbidity and mortality in people with AUD.

Abstract
T cells have been shown to maintain a lower percentage (heteroplasmy) of the pathogenic m.3243A>G variant (MT-TL1, associated with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness [MIDD] and mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes [MELAS]). The mechanism(s) underlying this purifying selection, however, remain unknown. Here we report that purified patient memory CD4+ T cells have lower bulk m.3243A>G heteroplasmy compared to naïve CD4+ T cells. In vitro activation of naïve CD4+ m.3243A>G patient T cells results in lower bulk m.3243A>G heteroplasmy after proliferation. Finally, m.3243A>G patient T cell receptor repertoire sequencing reveals relative oligoclonality compared to controls. These data support a role for T cell activation in peripheral, purifying selection against high m.3243A>G heteroplasmy T cells at the level of the cell, in a likely cell-autonomous fashion.

Abstract
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare, rapidly evolving, clinical syndrome with devastating consequences where definitive treatment is by emergency liver transplantation. Establishing a diagnosis can be challenging and, historically, the cause of ALF was unidentified in up to half of children. However, recent technological and clinical advances in genomic medicine have led to an increasing proportion being diagnosed with monogenic aetiologies of ALF. The conditions encountered include a diverse group of inherited metabolic disorders each with prognostic and treatment implications. Often these disorders are clinically indistinguishable and may even mimic disorders of immune regulation or red cell disorders. Rapid genomic sequencing for children with ALF is, therefore, a key component in the diagnostic work up today. This review focuses on the monogenic aetiologies of ALF.

Abstract
Disulfiram (DSF), an anti-alcoholism medicine, exerts treatment effects in patients suffering from persistent Borreliosis and also exhibits anti-cancer effects through its copper chelating derivatives and induction of oxidative stress in mitochondria. Since chronic/persistent borreliosis is characterized by increased amounts of pro-inflammatory macrophages, this study investigated opsonin-independent phagocytosis, migration, and surface marker expression of in vivo activated and in vitro cultured human monocyte-derived phagocytes (macrophages and dendritic cells) with and without DSF treatment. Phagocytosis of non-opsonized Dynabeads® M-450 and migration of macrophages and dendritic cells were monitored using live cell analyzer Juli™ Br for 24 h, imaging every 3.5 min. To simultaneously monitor phagocyte function, results were analyzed by a newly developed software based on the differential phase contrast images of cells before and after ingestion of Dynabeads. DSF decreased the phagocytic capacities exhibited by in vitro enriched and long-lived phagocytes. Although no chemotactic gradient was applied to the test system, vigorous spontaneous migration was observed. We therefore set up an algorithm to monitor and quantify both phagocytosis and migration simultaneously. DSF not only reduced phagocytosis in a majority of these long-lived phagocytes but also impaired their migration. Despite these selective effects by DSF, we found that DSF reduced the expression densities of surface antigens CD45 and CD14 in all of our long-lived phagocytes. In cells with a high metabolic activity and high mitochondrial contents, DSF led to cell death corresponding to mitochondrial oxidative stress, whereas metabolically inactive phagocytes survived our DSF treatment protocol. In conclusion, DSF affects the viability of metabolically active phagocytes by inducing mitochondrial stress and secondly attenuates phagocytosis and migration in some long-lived phagocytes.

Abstract
Mitochondria-Associated Endoplasmic Reticulum Membranes (MAMs) mediate the communication between the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and the mitochondria, playing a fundamental role in steroidogenesis. This study aimed to understand how D-aspartate (D-Asp), a well-known stimulator of testosterone biosynthesis and spermatogenesis, affects the mechanism of steroidogenesis in rat testes. Our results suggested that D-Asp exerts this function through MAMs, affecting lipid trafficking, calcium signaling, ER stress, and mitochondrial dynamics. After 15 days of oral administration of D-Asp to rats, there was an increase in both antioxidant enzymes (SOD and Catalase) and in the protein expression levels of ATAD3A, FACL4, and SOAT1, which are markers of lipid transfer, as well as VDAC and GRP75, which are markers of calcium signaling. Additionally, there was a decrease in protein expression levels of GRP78, a marker of aging that counteracts ER stress. The effects of D-Asp on mitochondrial dynamics strongly suggested its active role as well. It induced the expression levels of proteins involved in fusion (MFN1, MFN2, and OPA1) and in biogenesis (NRF1 and TFAM), as well as in mitochondrial mass (TOMM20), and decreased the expression level of DRP1, a crucial mitochondrial fission marker. These findings suggested D-Asp involvement in the functional improvement of mitochondria during steroidogenesis. Immunofluorescent signals of ATAD3A, MFN1/2, TFAM, and TOMM20 confirmed their localization in Leydig cells showing an intensity upgrade in D-Asp-treated rat testes. Taken together, our results demonstrate the involvement of D-Asp in the steroidogenesis of rat testes, acting at multiple stages of both MAMs and mitochondrial dynamics, opening new opportunities for future investigation in other steroidogenic tissues.

Abstract
Armcx1 is a member of the ARMadillo repeat-Containing protein on the X chromosome (ARMCX) family, which is recognized to have evolutionary conserved roles in regulating mitochondrial transport and dynamics. Previous research has shown that Armcx1 is expressed at higher levels in mice after axotomy and in adult retinal ganglion cells after crush injury, and this protein increases neuronal survival and axonal regeneration. However, its role in traumatic brain injury (TBI) is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the expression of Armcx1 after TBI and to explore possible related mechanisms by which Armcx1 is involved in TBI. We used C57BL/6 male mice to model TBI and evaluated the role of Armcx1 in TBI by transfecting mice with Armcx1 small interfering RNA (siRNA) to inhibit Armcx1 expression 24 h before TBI modeling. Western blotting, immunofluorescence, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining, Nissl staining, transmission electron microscopy, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level measurement, neuronal apoptosis analysis, neurological function scoring and the Morris water maze were performed. The results demonstrated that Armcx1 protein expression was elevated after TBI and that the Armcx1 protein was localized in neurons and astroglial cells in cortical tissue surrounding the injury site. In addition, inhibition of Armcx1 expression further led to impaired mitochondrial transport, abnormal morphology, reduced ATP levels, aggravation of neuronal apoptosis and neurological dysfunction, and decrease Miro1 expression. In conclusion, our findings indicate that Armcx1 may exert neuroprotective effects by ameliorating neurological injury after TBI through a mitochondrial transport pathway involving Miro1.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of osteoporosis is significantly influenced by the impaired functioning of osteoblasts, which is particularly caused by oxidative stress. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms responsible for this phenomenon are still not well understood. The objective of this study was to elucidate the impact of fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7) on the behavior of osteoblasts under conditions of oxidative stress. The osteoblast-like MC3T3 cells were pretreated with recombinant FGF7 in the presence of oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). We first provided the evidence that the endogenous FGF7 was significantly increased in osteoblasts in response to the increased H2 O2 levels. Recombined FGF7 demonstrated a remarkable capacity to resist the detrimental effects of H2 O2 -induced oxidative stress, including the increase in cell apoptosis, decrease in osteoblast viability, and impairment in osteogenic differentiation capacity, on osteoblasts. Furthermore, we extensively explored the mechanism underlying these protective effects and discovered a remarkable modulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis in H2 O2 -treated cells following the pronounced expression of FGF7, which significantly differed from the control group. Additionally, we observed that FGF7 exerted partial preservation on both the morphology and function of mitochondria when exposed to oxidative stress conditions. Furthermore, FGF7 exhibited the ability to enhance the activation of the p38/MAPK signaling pathway while concurrently suppressing the JNK/MAPK signaling pathway in response to oxidative stress. These results underscore the promising role and underlying mechanisms of FGF7 in preserving osteoblast homeostasis in the face of oxidative stress.

Abstract
Yeast Rho5 is a small GTPase which mediates the response to nutrient and oxidative stress, and triggers mitophagy and apoptosis. We here studied the rapid translocation of a GFP-tagged Rho5 to mitochondria under such stress conditions by live-cell fluorescence microscopy in the background of strains lacking different mitochondrial outer membrane proteins (MOMP). Fun14, Msp1 and Alo1 were found to be required for efficient recruitment of the GTPase, whereas translocation of Dck1 and Lmo1, the subunits of its dimeric GDP/GTP exchange factor (GEF), remained unaffected. An influence of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) Por1 on the association of GFP-Rho5 with mitochondria under oxidative stress conditions appeared to be strain-dependent. However, epistasis analyses and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) studies indicate a genetic and physical interaction. All four strains lacking a single MOMP were investigated for their effect on mitophagy.

Abstract
Erythropoiesis in the adult bone marrow (BM) relies on mitochondrial membrane transporters to facilitate heme and hemoglobin production. Erythrocytes in the bone marrow are produced though the differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells which originate from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Whether and how mitochondria transporters potentiate HSCs and affect their differentiation towards erythroid lineage remains unclear. Here we show that the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter 10 (Abcb10), located on the inner mitochondrial membrane, is essential for HSC maintenance and erythroid lineage differentiation. Induced deletion of Abcb10 in adult mice significantly increased erythroid progenitor cell and decreased HSC number within the BM. Functionally, Abcb10-deficient HSCs exhibited significant decrease in stem cell potential but with a skew towards erythroid-lineage differentiation. Mechanistically, deletion of Abcb10 rendered HSCs with excess mitochondrial iron accumulation and oxidative stress yet without alteration in mitochondrial bioenergetic function. However, impaired hematopoiesis could not be rescued through the in vivo administration of a mitochondrial iron chelator or antioxidant to Abcb10-deficient mice. Abcb10-mediated mitochondrial iron transfer is thus pivotal for the regulation of physiological HSC stem cell potential and erythroid lineage differentiation.
