Voltage-Dependent Anion-selective Channel isoform 1 (VDAC1) is the most abundant isoform of the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) porins and the principal gate for ions and metabolites to and from the organelle. VDAC1 is also involved in a number of additional functions, such as the regulation of apoptosis. Although the protein is not directly involved in mitochondrial respiration, its deletion in yeast triggers a complete rewiring of the whole cell metabolism, with the inactivation of the main mitochondrial functions. In this work, we analyzed in detail the impact of VDAC1 knockout on mitochondrial respiration in the near-haploid human cell line HAP1. Results indicate that, despite the presence of other VDAC isoforms in the cell, the inactivation of VDAC1 correlates with a dramatic impairment in oxygen consumption and a re-organization of the relative contributions of the electron transport chain (ETC) enzymes. Precisely, in VDAC1 knockout HAP1 cells, the complex I-linked respiration (N-pathway) is increased by drawing resources from respiratory reserves. Overall, the data reported here strengthen the key role of VDAC1 as a general regulator of mitochondrial metabolism.

MFN1 (mitofusin 1) and MFN2 are key players in mitochondrial fusion, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria juxtaposition, and macroautophagy/autophagy. However, the mechanisms by which these proteins participate in these processes are poorly understood. Here, we studied the interactomes of these two proteins by using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to insert an HA-tag at the C terminus of MFN1 and MFN2, and thus generating HeLa cell lines that endogenously expressed MFN1-HA or MFN2-HA.

PGAM5 and VDAC1 have both been reported to regulate mitophagy. However, the mechanisms by which they regulate sepsis-induced inflammatory microvascular injury remain unverified. In previous studies, we established the role of this regulatory axis in various phenotypic processes, including mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, and mitochondrial dynamics, while further confirming the interactive regulatory proteins within this axis.

Article Synopsis
- The exposure of the protein PHB2 during the process of mitophagy is regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system and is linked to mitochondrial depolarization.
- Research found that the interaction between VDAC1 (a voltage-dependent channel) and PHB2 increases during mitochondrial stress, facilitating the exposure of PHB2.
- The study indicates that VDAC1 plays a critical role in optimizing PHB2 exposure at mitochondrial rupture sites, which could have implications for understanding neurodegenerative diseases.

Background: There is currently no specific therapeutic drug available for heart failure in clinical practice. Numerous studies have validated the efficacy of Ginsenoside Rb1, an active component found in various herbal remedies used for heart failure treatment, in effectively ameliorating myocardial ischemia. However, the precise mechanism of action and molecular targets of Ginsenoside Rb1 remain unclear.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how the cGAS-STING immune signaling pathway influences cellular senescence in postmitotic muscle cells, particularly in a mouse model of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS).
- - Researchers found that aging myofibers in progeria mice showed signs of senescence, mitochondrial DNA damage, and the release of inflammatory SASP factors, indicating a link between mitochondrial dysfunction and immune response.
- - Inhibiting a protein involved in mtDNA release improved muscle cell health by reducing inflammatory responses, suggesting potential new diagnostic and treatment approaches for progeria and related aging muscle disorders.
