In the past 16 years, research on mitophagy has increasingly expanded to a wider range of subjects. Therefore, comprehensively analyzing the relevant progress and development trends on mitophagy research requires specific methods. To assess the hotspots, directions, and quality of results in this field worldwide, we used multiple tools to examine research progress and growing trends in research on the matter during the last 16 years (from 2005 to 2020). We also compared the quantity and quality of the literature records on mitophagy published by research institutions in China and other developed countries, reviewed China's contribution, and examined the gap between China and these developed countries. According to the results of our bibliometric analysis, the United States and its research institutes published the most papers. We identified cell biology as the most commonly researched subject on mitophagy and AUTOPHAGY as the most popular journal for research on mitophagy. We also listed the most cited documents from around the world and China. With gradually increased funding, China is progressively becoming prominent in the field of mitophagy; nevertheless, the gap between her and major countries in the world must be closed.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder affecting the central nervous system (CNS), with its etiology still shrouded in uncertainty. The interplay of extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed of tau protein, cholinergic neuronal impairment, and other pathogenic factors is implicated in the progression of AD.

Objective: The current study endeavors to delineate the proteomic landscape alterations in the hippocampus of an AD murine model, utilizing proteomic analysis to identify key physiological and pathological shifts induced by the disease.

The intake of high dietary fat has been correlated with the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), affecting the function of the retinal pigment epithelium through oxidative stress. A high-fat diet (HFD) can lead to lipid metabolism disorders, excessive production of circulating free fatty acids, and systemic inflammation by aggravating the degree of oxidative stress. Deletion of the retinal G-protein-coupled receptor (RGR-d) has been identified in drusen.

Enhancing CNS mitophagy: drug development and disease-relevant models.

Mitophagy, the selective degradation of mitochondria, is impaired in many neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), resulting in an accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria and neuronal damage. Although enhancing mitophagy shows promise as a therapeutic strategy, the clinical significance of mitophagy activators remains uncertain due to limited understanding and poor representation of mitophagy in the central nervous system (CNS). This review explores recent insights into which mitophagy pathways to target and the extent of modulation necessary to be therapeutic towards NDs.

Emerging roles of ECSIT in immunity and tumorigenesis.

Article Synopsis
  • Mitochondria play a crucial role in immune responses by producing metabolites that modulate immunity and helping to organize immune signaling complexes during infections.
  • The evolutionary conserved signaling intermediate in toll (ECSIT) is known for its role in promoting NF-κB activity and has further implications in bacterial clearance, reactive oxygen species production, and mitophagy.
  • ECSIT acts as a metabolic tumor suppressor, and its loss has been linked to increased tumorigenesis, emphasizing its importance in linking cell metabolism, immunity, and cancer development.
