Previous studies have demonstrated that two Parkinson'sdisease-associatedgenes PINK1 and Parkin play a key role in mitochondrial quality control. But until now, the transcriptional regulation of these two genes under normal physiological conditions are not well understood. In this study, the transcriptional regulation of PINK1 and Parkin genes by nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF-1) and its effect on PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy were studied. The NRF-1 binding sites in the promoter regions of human PINK1 and Parkin genes were analyzed by JASPER software and were confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. The transcriptional activities and the expressions of PINK1 and Parkin genes were positively regulated by NRF-1 in HEK293T cells and in SH-SY5Y cells. Furthermore, NRF-1 over-expression (OE) up-regulated the protein level of full-length PINK1 in CCCP-treated cells, indicating the enhanced PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy. When NRF-1 expression was transient orstableknockdown, the CCCP-induced mitophagy was alleviated as characterized by the reduced protein level of full-length PINK1, the declined ratio of LC3 II to LC3 I, and the decreasedratioof Mt-keimafluorescenceintensityexcited at 552 nm to that excited at 488 nm. In conclusion, NRF-1 has a positive regulatory effect on the transcription of PINK1 and Parkin genes, and involves in mitochondrial quality control through regulating PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy.

20% acute pancreatitis (AP) develops into severe AP (SAP), a global health crisis, with an increased mortality rate to 30%-50%. Mitochondrial damage and immune disorders are direct factors, which exacerbate the occurrence and progression of AP. So far, mitochondrial and immunity injury in SAP remains largely elusive, with no established treatment options available.

Mitochondrial homeostasis is crucial for maintaining cellular energy production and preventing oxidative stress, which is essential for overall cellular function and longevity. Mitochondrial damage and dysfunction often occur concomitantly in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). Notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1), a unique saponin from the traditional Chinese medicine Panax notoginseng, has been shown to alleviate MIRI in previous studies, though its precise mechanism remains unclear.

Introduction: Mitochondrial dysfunction stands as a pivotal feature in neurodegenerative disorders, spurring the quest for targeted therapeutic interventions. This review examines Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 30 (USP30) as a master regulator of mitophagy with therapeutic promise in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). USP30's orchestration of mitophagy pathways, encompassing PINK1-dependent and PINK1-independent mechanisms, forms the crux of this exploration.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease (ND). In recent years, multiple clinical and animal studies have shown that mitochondrial dysfunction may be involved in the pathogenesis of AD. In addition, short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) produced by intestinal microbiota metabolism have been considered to be important factors affecting central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis.
