This study aimed to investigate the antitumor effect and the underlying molecular mechanism of eriodictyol on ovarian cancer cells. CaoV3 and A2780 were exposed to eriodictyol at different concentrations of 0-800 μM. Cell apoptosis and viability were determined by TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) assay and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, respectively. Mitochondrial membrane potential was evaluated by flow cytometers with a JC-1 detection kit. Fe content was evaluated using an iron assay kit. The section of tumor tissues was observed using hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression was detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Eriodictyol suppressed cell viability and induced cell apoptosis of CaoV3 and A2780 cells. Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC ) value of CaoV3 at 24 and 48 h was (229.74 ± 5.13) μM and (38.44 ± 4.68) μM, and IC value of A2780 at 24 and 48 h was (248.32 ± 2.54) μM and (64.28 ± 3.19) μM. Fe content and reactive oxygen species production were increased and protein levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 were decreased by eriodictyol. Besides, eriodictyol reduced the ratio of JC-1 fluorescence ratio, glutathione and malondialdehyde contents but elevated Cytochrome C level. Nrf2 phosphorylation were obviously downregulated by eriodictyol. Finally, eriodictyol suppressed tumor growth, aggravated mitochondrial dysfunction and downregulated Nrf2 expression in tumor tissue in mice. Eriodictyol regulated ferroptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction and cell viability via Nrf2/HO-1/NQO1 signaling pathway in ovarian cancer.

Whether early life acetaminophen (APAP) exposures injure the developing lung is controversial. We sought to correlate murine pulmonary developmental expression profiles of to susceptibility to APAP exposure. P14 C57BL/6 mice were exposed to APAP (140 mg/kg x 1, IP) and assessed for evidence of a histologic, metabolic, functional, and/or transcriptional pulmonary response.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common and severe complication of diabetes mellitus, the etiology of which remains insufficiently understood, particularly regarding the involvement of extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this study, nanoflow cytometry to detect EVs in DFU skin tissues is used and found a significant increase in the Translocase of Outer Mitochondrial Membrane 20 (TOM20) mitochondrial-derived vesicles (MDVs). The role of MDVs in DFU is yet to be reported.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants considerably affect diabetes mellitus by disturbing mitochondrial function, energy metabolism, oxidative stress response, and even insulin secretion. The m.3243 A > G variants is associated with maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD), where early onset diabetes and hearing loss are prominent features.

Background: Optic atrophy (OA) is primarily caused by damage to the retinal pathway system, including widespread degeneration of retinal ganglion cells and axons, leading to visual impairment and blindness. Despite its clinical significance and diverse etiological factors, there is currently a lack of comprehensive bibliometric analyses exploring research trends and hotspots within this field.

Method: This study retrieved relevant literature on OA published between 2003 and 2023 from the Web of Science Core Collection database.

During infection, dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV), two (ortho)flaviviruses of public health concern worldwide, induce alterations of mitochondria morphology to favor viral replication, suggesting a viral co-opting of mitochondria functions. Here, we performed an extensive transmission electron microscopy-based quantitative analysis to demonstrate that both DENV and ZIKV alter endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria contact sites (ERMC). This correlated at the molecular level with an impairment of ERMC tethering protein complexes located at the surface of both organelles.
