Mitophagy in neurodegeneration: crosstalk between PRKN/parkin-dependent and PRKN-independent pathways.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of the best-characterized PINK1-PRKN/parkin-dependent mitophagy pathway and the expanding repertoire of PRKN-independent mechanisms, including additional ubiquitin-dependent, receptor-mediated, and lipid-mediated pathways.

An exquisite symphony: protein post-translational modifications govern mitochondrial fate

Ten key PTMs, including lactylation, succinylation, succinylation, SUMOylation, and S-nitrosylation, acting on core regulators such as dynamin-related protein 1(DRP1), optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), Parkin, and mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1 (MIRO1) are summarized to provide a comprehensive resource for understanding mitochondria...

Mitophagy as an active regulator of cardiac metabolic reprogramming

Mitophagy is increasingly recognized as a context-dependent regulator of cardiac metabolic adaptation rather than solely as a disposal pathway for damaged mitochondria. By coupling mitochondrial turnover to substrate selection, redox control, and inflammatory signaling, mitophagy can influence fatty acid oxidation (FAO...

InsP3R signaling and actomyosin-dependent mitochondrial dynamics play essential roles in mitochondrial stress-induced longevity

Certain forms of mitochondrial impairment confer longevity, while disease-associated mitochondrial dysfunction triggers pathogenesis. The adaptive pathways that distinguish benefit from pathology remain unclear. Here we reveal that longevity induced by mitochondrial Complex I/nuo-6 mutation in C. elegans is dependent o...

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying FCCP-Induced Mitophagy in Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells

It is hypothesized that FCCP-induced mitochondrial depolarization activates the PINK1-Parkin-mediated mitophagy pathway, culminating in the clearance of damaged mitochondria, and these findings demonstrate that FCCP robustly activates the canonical PINK1-Parkin mitophagy pathway in hASM cells.

Mitochondrial Integrated Stress Response (mtISR): Mechanistic Basis and Emerging Roles in Skeletal Muscle Pathophysiology

Although mtISR has been characterized in primary mitochondrial myopathies, secondary mitochondrial dysfunction in neuromuscular disorders suggests that mtISR-related pathways may also be activated in these conditions, and its roles in skeletal muscle pathology are discussed.
