Metabolic adaptations are essential for survival. The mitochondrial calcium uniporter plays a key role in coordinating metabolic homeostasis by regulating pathways and signaling. However, comprehensive analysis of uniporter-regulated has remained unexplored. Here, we investigate consequences loss gain function using knockout cells fibrolamellar carcinoma (FLC), which demonstrate to have elevated levels. We find that branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) catabolism the urea cycle pathways. Reduced boosts expression BCAA genes enzyme ornithine transcarbamylase. In contrast, high activity FLC suppresses their expression. This suppression is mediated transcription factor KLF15, master regulator liver metabolism. Thus, central FLC-associated changes, including hyperammonemia. Our study identifies an important adaptation through transcriptional regulation metabolism elucidates its importance ammonia

While mitochondria oxidative phosphorylation is broadly regulated, the impact of mitochondrial Ca2+ on substrate flux under both physiological and pathological conditions increasingly being recognized. Under physiologic conditions, enters through uniporter boosts ATP production. However, maintaining homeostasis crucial as too little inhibits adaptation to stress overload can trigger cell death. In this review, we discuss new insights obtained over past several years expanding relationship between phosphorylation, with most data from heart, liver, or skeletal muscle. Two themes are emerging. First, beyond boosting synthesis, appears be a critical determinant fuel choice glucose fatty acids. Second, exerts local effects electron transport chain indirectly, not via traditional allosteric mechanisms. These depend critically transporters involved, such Na+–Ca2+ exchanger. Alteration these relationships during disease either compensatory harmful suggest that targeting may therapeutic benefit diseases featuring impairments in phosphorylation.

Neuropathic pain, a chronic condition resulting from nerve injury or dysfunction, presents significant therapeutic challenges and is closely associated with oxidative stress inflammation, both of which can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction. The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2) pathway, critical cellular defense mechanism against stress, has emerged as promising target for neuropathic pain management. Nrf2 modulators enhance the expression antioxidant cytoprotective genes, thereby reducing damage, impairment. This review explores antinociceptive effects Nrf2, highlighting how pharmacological agents natural compounds may be used potential strategies pain.

This review revisits this and uses Ca2+ dependency neuronal excitability as an integrator discuss age-dependent in activity various systems mechanisms that control homeostasis. Amongst these systems, special attention given mitochondrial involvement regulation Ca2+, fact functions induced during process might represent fulcrum between normal, physiological neurodegenerative processes. However, it important understand process, its effects on function, multifactorial, results from high interactions at cellular but also tissular level.
