Mitophagy as a mitochondrial quality control mechanism in myocardial ischemic stress: from bench to bedside

Tong Fu et al.

Summary: Myocardial ischemia leads to reduced oxygen and nutrient supply to cardiomyocytes, causing energy crisis or cell death. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in receiving, transmitting, and modifying cardiac ischemic signals. Damaged mitochondria result in impaired metabolism, increased susceptibility to death stimuli, disrupted respiration, reactive oxygen species production, calcium overload, and genomic damage. Mitochondrial stress signaling pathways converge on mitochondria, and dysfunctional mitochondria can turn from energetic hubs to apoptotic centers. To interrupt the stress signal transduction, mitophagy is activated to selectively eliminate dysfunctional mitochondria. Various strategies have been developed to enhance the protective properties of mitophagy and have been tested in animal experiments and human trials.

Summary: The most common alterations affecting mitochondria in cardiac pathological conditions include impairments of the electron transport chain activity, leading to a decrease in energy formation and ATP generation, as well as increased ROS generation and inflammation. These alterations contribute to the impairment of cardiac electrical characteristics, loss of myocyte contractility, and cardiomyocyte damage. The dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics, which plays a role in maintaining mitochondrial fitness, is also observed in cardiac diseases. However, the translation and therapeutic applications of this knowledge are still in the early stages.

PGC1A driven enhanced mitochondrial DNA copy number predicts outcome in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia

Shilpi Chaudhary et al.

Summary: The study found that increased mtDNA copy number in pediatric AML patients was associated with disease aggressiveness and decreased survival rates, possibly due to the action of PGC1A enhancing mtDNA copy number. At the cellular level, PGC1A inhibition decreased mtDNA copy number, while MYC inhibition had no significant effect.

Cardiac mitofusin-1 is reduced in non-responding patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy

Yung Ting Hsiao et al.

Summary: Prognosis of severe heart failure remains poor and urgent new therapies are required. Some heart failure patients, classified as non-responders, show significantly reduced levels of the mitochondrial fusion protein Mfn1. This study reveals that Mfn1 may serve as a biomarker for heart failure in non-responders, with potential therapeutic targeting of mitochondrial dynamics to improve outcomes.

Opa1 relies on cristae preservation and ATP synthase to curtail reactive oxygen species accumulation in mitochondria

Ruben Quintana-Cabrera et al.

Summary: The study shows that the mitochondrial fusion and cristae shape protein Opa1 requires mitochondrial ATP synthase oligomers to reduce ROS accumulation. In some cells fueled with galactose to force ATP production by mitochondria, cristae are enlarged, ATP synthase oligomers destabilized, and ROS accumulate.

Mitophagy mechanisms in neuronal physiology and pathology during ageing

Maria Markaki et al.

Summary: Ageing in diverse species is associated with decreased neuronal function and increased susceptibility to neurodegeneration, partly due to declining mitochondrial integrity and function. The coordination of mitochondrial biogenesis with mitophagy is crucial for maintaining cellular energy homeostasis, contributing to the maintenance of neuronal homeostasis and health. Impaired mitophagy has been implicated in age-related decline of nervous system function and the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases.

Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity: An update on the molecular mechanism and novel therapeutic strategies for effective management

Pushkar Singh Rawat et al.

Summary: Doxorubicin, a commonly used anti-cancer drug, exerts its activity through DNA intercalation and inhibition of topoisomerase II enzyme. However, its use is limited by its dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, which is believed to involve oxidative stress, apoptosis, and various other mechanisms. Pharmacological strategies have been explored to mitigate Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Mfn2 localization in the ER is necessary for its bioenergetic function and neuritic development

Sergi Casellas-Diaz et al.

Summary: Research has shown that Mfn2 stimulation of mitochondrial metabolism requires localization in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) rather than its fusion function. Interaction between ER-located Mfn2 and mitochondrial Mfn1/2 facilitates Ca2+ transfer from ER to mitochondria to enhance mitochondrial bioenergetics. Increased ER-mitochondria contact during neurite outgrowth is essential for proper neuronal arbor growth, and manipulating these contacts could be a potential treatment for pathologic conditions involving Mfn2.

Pathogenic variants in MRPL44 cause infantile cardiomyopathy due to a mitochondrial translation defect

Marisa W. Friederich et al.

Summary: Cardiac dysfunction is a common phenotypic manifestation of primary mitochondrial disease caused by various pathogenic variants, including those affecting mitochondrial translation. Mutations in the MRPL44 gene have been linked to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in infants and myopathy with neurological symptoms in adolescents. Compound heterozygous variants in MRPL44 were identified through exome sequencing, leading to a deficiency in respiratory chain enzymes affecting heart muscle tissue more than skeletal muscle. The impairment of mitochondrial protein synthesis due to different pathogenic variants correlates with the dysfunction of oxidative phosphorylation, providing insights into the pathogenesis of MRPL44-associated mitochondrial disorder.

Summary: Atovaquone, an antimicrobial drug, has shown potential in inhibiting ovarian cancer cells by disrupting mitochondrial function. It can effectively suppress the growth of ovarian cancer cells and induce apoptosis, while showing minimal effects on normal cells. Studies suggest that Atovaquone could be a promising candidate for the treatment of ovarian cancer, especially in combination with cisplatin.

Aorta smooth muscle-on-a-chip reveals impaired mitochondrial dynamics as a therapeutic target for aortic aneurysm in bicuspid aortic valve disease

Mieradilijiang Abudupataer et al.

Summary: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital cardiovascular disease associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). Insufficiency of NOTCH1 expression is related to BAV-TAA, with impaired mitochondrial dynamics observed. Knockdown of NOTCH1 in HAoSMCs resulted in reduced contractile phenotype and attenuated mitochondrial fusion, which could be partially rescued by mitochondrial fusion activators or fission inhibitor. This study suggests impaired mitochondrial dynamics as a potential therapeutic target for BAV-TAA.
