Abstract Lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) fuels oxidative cancer cell metabolism by converting lactate to pyruvate. This study uncovers LDHB’s role in countering mitochondria-associated ferroptosis independently of lactate’s function as a carbon source. LDHB silencing alters mitochondrial morphology, causes lipid peroxidation, and reduces viability, which is potentiated the inducer RSL3. Unlike LDHA, acts parallel with glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) dihydroorotate (DHODH) suppress decreasing ubiquinone (coenzyme Q, CoQ) ubiquinol (CoQH2) ratio. Indeed, supplementation mitoCoQH2 (mitochondria-targeted analogue CoQH2) suppresses peroxidation death after combined RSL3 treatment, consistent presence fraction containing inner membrane. Addressing underlying molecular mechanism, an vitro NADH consumption assay purified human reveals that catalyzes transfer reducing equivalents from CoQ efficiency this reaction increases addition lactate. Finally, radiation therapy induces tumor growth, further enhanced when silencing. Thus, LDHB-mediated oxidation drives CoQ-dependent suppression ferroptosis, promising target for combination therapies.

Nucleotides are essential for nucleic acid synthesis, signaling, and metabolism, can be synthesized de novo or through salvage. Rapidly proliferating cells require large amounts of nucleotides, making nucleotide metabolism a widely exploited target cancer therapy.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key factor pathogenesis various vision-related disorders, including glaucoma, hereditary optic neuropathy, and age-related macular degeneration. highlighted critical RGCs, provide metabolic support, regulate cellular health, respond to stress while also producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage components. Maintaining mitochondrial function meeting RGCs’ high demands ensuring redox homeostasis, crucial their proper health. Oxidative stress, exacerbated by factors like elevated intraocular pressure environmental factors, contributes diseases such as glaucoma vision loss triggering pathways. Strategies targeting or bolstering antioxidant defenses include mitochondrial-based therapies, gene transplantation. These advances offer potential strategies addressing retina, with implications extend beyond ocular diseases.

Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is an essential lipid with many cellular functions, such as electron transport for respiration, antioxidant protection, redox homeostasis, and ferroptosis suppression. Deficiencies in CoQ due to aging, genetic disease, or medication can be ameliorated by high-dose supplementation. As such, understanding of the uptake may inform methods clinical use identify how better treat deficiency. Here, we review what known about intracellular distribution from yeast, mammalian cell culture, rodent models, well its absorption at organism level.
