Time-resolved fluorescence spectrometry is a highly valuable technological tool to detect and characterize mitochondrial metabolic oxidative changes by means of endogenous fluorescence. Here, we describe detection and measurement of endogenous mitochondrial flavin fluorescence directly in living cardiac cells using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) after excitation with 473 nm picoseconds (ps) laser. Time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) method is employed.

Glucose deprivation, a hallmark of the tumor microenvironment, compels tumor cells to seek alternative energy sources for survival and growth. Here, we show that glucose deprivation upregulates the expression of mitochondrial-cytochrome c oxidase II (MT-CO2), a subunit essential for the respiratory chain complex IV, in facilitating glutaminolysis and sustaining tumor cell survival. Mechanistically, glucose deprivation activates Ras signaling to enhance MT-CO2 transcription and inhibits IGF2BP3, an RNA-binding protein, to stabilize MT-CO2 mRNA.

Imbalances in gut microbiota and their metabolites have been implicated in osteoporotic disorders. Trimethylamine-n-oxide (TMAO), a metabolite of L-carnitine produced by gut microorganisms and flavin-containing monooxygenase-3, is known to accelerate tissue metabolism and remodeling; however, its role in bone loss remained unexplored. This study investigates the relationship between gut microbiota dysbiosis, TMAO production, and osteoporosis development.

TND1128, a 5-deazaflavin derivative, is a drug with self-redox ability. We examined the effect of TND1128 on the level of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ), which is the most critical motive power for the biosynthesis of ATP. We prepared brain slices from mice pretreated with TND1128 (0.

Riboflavin kinase (RFK) is essential in riboflavin metabolism, converting riboflavin to flavin mononucleotide (FMN), which is further processed to flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). While RFK enhances macrophage phagocytosis of Listeria monocytogenes, its role in macrophage polarization is not well understood. Our study reveals that RFK deficiency impairs M(IFN-γ) and promotes M(IL-4) polarization, both in vitro and in vivo.

Background: The redox status of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD; including oxidized form NAD and reduced form NADH) plays key roles in both health and disease and has been actively studied to develop cancer biomarkers and therapeutic strategies. With the optical redox imaging (ORI) technique, we have been investigating the relationship of NADH redox status, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and invasiveness in breast cancer cell cultures, and have associated higher invasiveness with more oxidized NADH redox state. However, the cell cultures may have phenotypic drift and metabolic change with increased passage numbers.
