Purpose: To investigate the effectiveness of mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant mitoquinone (MitoQ) and nontargeted antioxidant idebenone (Idb) in alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction in corneal endothelial cells (CEnCs).
Methods: In vitro experiments were conducted using immortalized normal human corneal endothelial cells (HCEnC-21T; SVN1-67F) and Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) cells (SVF5-54F; SVF3-76M). Cells were pretreated with MitoQ or Idb and then exposed to menadione (MN) with simultaneous antioxidant treatment.

Thioredoxin1 (TRX1) and telomerase are both attractive oncology targets that are tightly implicated in tumor initiation and development. Here, we reported that the 6-dithio-2-deoxyguanosine analog thiotert exhibits an effective cytotoxic effect on myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) cell SKM-1 and lymphoma cell U-937. Further studies confirmed that thiotert effectively disrupts cellular redox homeostasis, as evidenced by elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, increased MnSOD, accelerated DNA impairment, and activated apoptosis signal.

Mitochondria produces energy through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), maintaining calcium homeostasis, survival/death cell signaling mechanisms, and redox balance. These mitochondrial functions are especially critical for neurons. The hippocampus is crucial for memory formation in the brain, which is a process with high mitochondrial function demand.

Low-temperature preservation of yak semen during transportation and conservation is crucial to accelerate yak breeding. The effects of low-temperature cooling on yak semen quality, however, are poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the dose-dependent effect of mitochondria-targeted antioxidant "MitoQ" on the motility, oxidative status, and mitochondrial function of yak semen during low-temperature preservation.

Objective: Ovarian tissue cryopreservation has become a promising alternative for fertility preservation in cancer patients, allowing ovarian tissue to be stored for future autotransplantation. Oxidative stress damage occurring during the cryopreservation process may impact tissue quality and function. This study aims to investigate the protective effects and potential mechanisms of Mitoquinone (MitoQ), a mitochondria-targeted derivative of the antioxidant ubiquinone, during the vitrification of ovarian tissue in mice.
