1,4-Dibromobenzene (1,4-DBB) was covalently bound to DNA from liver, kidney, lung and stomach of mice after intraperitoneal administration. The covalent binding index (CBI) value (23 in mouse liver) was typical of weak initiators. On the contrary, no interaction with DNA from rat organs was observed (CBI detection limit: 1.3-2.6). The in vitro interaction of 1,4-DBB with calf thymus DNA was mediated mainly by microsomes, especially those from liver of both species and from mouse lung. Mouse subcellular fractions were more active then rat subcellular fractions. Unlike liver cytosol, subcellular cytosolic fractions from lung, kidney and stomach were capable of bioactivating 1,4-DBB, although to a lesser extent than liver microsomes. Both cytochrome P-450 and GSH-transferases are involved in 1,4-DBB bioactivation.

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) exhibits molecular heterogeneity, with mitochondrial damage affecting progression. The relationship between mitochondrial damage and immune infiltration, and Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA)-derived biomarkers for LUAD classification and prognosis, remains unexplored.

Aims: The objective of our research is to identify gene modules closely related to the clinical stages of LUAD using the WGCNA method.

Previous research suggests mitochondrial apoptosis alleviates rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but the role of mitochondrial apoptosis-related genes (MARGs) is unclear. Urgent exploration of RA-related mitochondrial apoptosis biomarkers is needed. Gene Expression Ontology (GEO)-derived RA datasets were used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) compared to normal controls, intersected with MARGs to obtain differentially expressed mitochondrial apoptosis-related genes (DE-MARGs).

Calycosin‑7‑O‑β‑D‑glucoside (CG), a major active ingredient of Astragali Radix, exerts neuroprotective effects against cerebral ischemia; however, whether the effects of CG are associated with mitochondrial protection remains unclear. The present study explored the role of CG in improving mitochondrial function in a HT22 cell model of oxygen‑glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R). The Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and western blotting were performed to investigate the effects of CG on mitochondrial function.

Mitochondrial morphology and function are intrinsically linked, indicating the opportunity to predict functions by analyzing morphological features in live-cell imaging. Herein, we introduce MoDL, a deep learning algorithm for mitochondrial image segmentation and function prediction. Trained on a dataset of 20,000 manually labeled mitochondria from super-resolution (SR) images, MoDL achieves superior segmentation accuracy, enabling comprehensive morphological analysis.

Fasting activates optineurin-mediated mitophagy in chondrocytes to protect against osteoarthritis.

Mitochondrial homeostasis plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic musculoskeletal disorder characterized by articular cartilage degeneration and chondrocyte apoptosis. However, molecular mechanisms underlying the association between mitophagy and OA remain unclear. Here, we aimed to investigate the role of the autophagy receptor protein optineurin (OPTN) in OA, and explore the effects of dietary intervention on OA symptoms and its relationship with OPTN-mediated mitophagy.
