Stress and circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA: A systematic review of human studies, physiological considerations, and technical recommendations

Mitochondrion, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 59, P. 225 - 245

Published: April 9, 2021

Cell-free mitochondrial DNA (cf-mtDNA) is a marker of inflammatory disease and predictor mortality, but little known about cf-mtDNA in relation to psychobiology. A systematic review the literature reveals that blood varies response common real-world stressors including psychopathology, acute psychological stress, exercise. Moreover, inducible within minutes exhibits high intra-individual day-to-day variation, highlighting dynamic regulation levels. We discuss current knowledge on mechanisms release, its forms transport ("cell-free" does not mean "membrane-free"), potential physiological functions, putative cellular neuroendocrine triggers, factors may contribute removal from circulation. vitro, pre-clinical, clinical studies shows conflicting results around dogma are pro-inflammatory, opening possibility other cell-to-cell transfer whole mitochondria. Finally, enhance reproducibility biological interpretation human research, we propose guidelines for collection, isolation, quantification, reporting standards, which can promote concerted advances by community. Defining mechanistic basis signaling an opportunity elucidate role mitochondria brain-body interactions psychopathology.

Abstract Purpose of Review Mitochondria play various roles that are important for cell function and survival; therefore, significant mitochondrial dysfunction may have chronic consequences extend beyond the cell. already susceptible to damage, which be exacerbated by environmental exposures. Therefore, aim this review is summarize recent literature (2012–2022) looking at effects six ubiquitous classes compounds on in human populations. Recent Findings The suggests there a number biomarkers commonly used identify dysfunction, each with certain advantages limitations. Classes toxicants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, air pollutants, heavy metals, endocrine-disrupting compounds, pesticides, nanomaterials can damage mitochondria varied ways, changes mtDNA copy measures oxidative most measured Other include membrane potential, calcium levels, ATP levels. Summary This identifies characterize but emerging biomarkers, cell-free blood cardiolipin provide greater insight into impacts exposures function. using novel approaches addition well-characterized ones create standardized protocols. We identified dearth studies populations exposed chemicals, nanoparticles gap knowledge needs attention.

Oxidative stress and inflammation in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders: Mechanisms and implications

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(1), P. 15 - 34

Published: Oct. 16, 2024

Neuroprotection is a proactive approach to safeguarding the nervous system, including brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, by preventing or limiting damage nerve cells other components. It primarily defends central system against injury from acute progressive neurodegenerative disorders. Oxidative stress, an imbalance between body's natural defense mechanisms generation of reactive oxygen species, crucial in developing neurological Due its high metabolic rate consumption, brain particularly vulnerable oxidative stress. Excessive ROS damages essential biomolecules, leading cellular malfunction neurodegeneration. Several disorders, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple ischemic stroke, are associated with Understanding impact stress these conditions for new treatment methods. Researchers exploring using antioxidants molecules mitigate aiming prevent slow down progression diseases. By understanding intricate interplay scientists hope pave way innovative therapeutic preventive approaches, ultimately improving individuals' living standards.

Mitochondria in Alzheimer’s Disease Pathogenesis

Life, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(2), P. 196 - 196

Published: Jan. 30, 2024

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive and incurable neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects persons aged 65 years above. It causes dementia with memory loss deterioration in thinking language skills. AD characterized by specific pathology resulting from the accumulation brain of extracellular plaques amyloid-β intracellular tangles phosphorylated tau. The importance mitochondrial dysfunction pathogenesis, while previously underrecognized, now more appreciated. Mitochondria are an essential organelle involved cellular bioenergetics signaling pathways. Mitochondrial processes crucial for synaptic activity such as mitophagy, trafficking, fission, fusion dysregulated brain. Excess fission fragmentation yield mitochondria low energy production. Reduced glucose metabolism also observed hypometabolic state, particularly temporo-parietal regions. This review addresses multiple ways which abnormal structure function contribute to AD. Disruption electron transport chain ATP production neurotoxic because cells have disproportionately high demands. In addition, oxidative stress, extremely damaging nerve cells, rises dramatically dyshomeostasis. Restoring health may be viable approach treatment.

MTFP1 controls mitochondrial fusion to regulate inner membrane quality control and maintain mtDNA levels

Cell, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 187(14), P. 3619 - 3637.e27

Published: June 7, 2024

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

Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number as a Potential Biomarker for the Severity of Motor Symptoms and Prognosis in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 6, 2025

Mitochondrial function influences Parkinson's disease (PD) through the accumulation of pathogenic alpha-synuclein, oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and neuroinflammation. The mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA-CN), representing copies within a cell, serves as an easily assessable proxy for function.
