Background: Impairment of mitochondrial biogenesis is associated with the pathological progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Parkin-interacting substrate (PARIS) can be ubiquitinated by parkin and prevents the repression of proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1-alpha (PGC-1α).
Purpose: This study investigated whether the neuroprotective mechanism of carnosic acid (CA) from rosemary is mediated via the regulation of PARIS and PGC-1α by parkin.
Methods: The Western blotting and RT-PCR were used to determine protein and mRNA, respectively. To investigate the protein-protein interaction of between PARIS and ubiquitin, the immunoprecipitation assay (IP assay) was utilized. Silencing of endogenous parkin or PGC-1α was performed by using transient transfection of small interfering RNA (siRNA).
Results: SH-SY5Y cells treated with 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) increased PARIS protein, decreased PGC-1α protein, and reduced protein and mRNA of mitochondrial biogenesis-related genes. CA pretreatment reversed the effects of 6-OHDA. By IP assay, the interaction of PARIS with ubiquitin protein caused by CA was stronger than that caused by 6-OHDA. Moreover, knockdown of parkin attenuated the ability of CA to reverse the 6-OHDA-induced increase in PARIS and decrease in PGC-1α expression. PGC-1α siRNA was used to investigate how CA influenced the effect of 6-OHDA on the modulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and apoptosis. In the presence of PGC-1α siRNA, CA could no longer significantly reverse the reduction of mitochondrial biogenesis or the induction of cleavage of apoptotic-related proteins by 6-OHDA.
Conclusion: The cytoprotective of CA is related to the enhancement of mitochondrial biogenesis by inhibiting PARIS and inducing PGC-1α by parkin. The activation of PGC-1α-mediated mitochondrial biogenesis by CA prevents the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons, CA may have therapeutic application in PD.

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects nearly 90% of adults globally and is linked to over 200,000 annual cancer cases. Immunocompromised individuals from conditions such as primary immune disorders, HIV, or posttransplant immunosuppressive therapies are particularly vulnerable because of EBV's transformative capability. EBV remodels B cell metabolism to support energy, biosynthetic precursors, and redox equivalents necessary for transformation.

Postmitotic skeletal muscle critically depends on tightly regulated protein degradation to maintain proteomic stability. Impaired macroautophagy/autophagy-lysosomal or ubiquitin-proteasomal protein degradation causes the accumulation of damaged proteins, ultimately accelerating muscle dysfunction with age. While studies have demonstrated the complementary nature of these systems, their interplay at the organism levels remains poorly understood.

Objectives: While ketone bodies are not the main heart fuel, exercise may increase their uptake. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of 6-week endurance training and Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 )PDK4( inhibition on ketone bodies metabolism in the heart of diabetic rats with emphasis on the role of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator PGC-1alpha (PGC-1α).
Materials And Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into eight groups: healthy control group (CONT), endurance training group (TRA), diabetic group (DM), DM + EX group, Dichloroacetate (DCA) group, DM + DCA group, TRA + DCA group, and DM + TRA + DCA group.

Mitochondrial quality control is crucial for the homeostasis of the mitochondrial network. The balance between mitophagy and biogenesis is needed to reduce cerebral ischemia-induced cell death. Ischemic preconditioning (IPC) represents an adaptation mechanism of CNS that increases tolerance to lethal cerebral ischemia.
