The mitochondrial Ca2+ uniporter (MCU) plays crucial role in intramitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, allowing Ca2+-dependent activation of oxidative metabolism. In recent decades, the role of MCU pore-forming proteins has been highlighted in cancer. However, the contribution of MCU-associated regulatory proteins mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 and 2 (MICU1 and MICU2) to pathophysiological conditions has been poorly investigated.

Article Synopsis
  • Hemodialysis-induced myocardial stunning (HIMS) is a common issue for patients on hemodialysis, marked by temporary heart muscle dysfunction linked to irregularities in mitochondrial function and ion levels (potassium and calcium).
  • The study used a rat model of chronic kidney disease to explore how manipulating mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channels (mitoK) affects heart function during hemodialysis.
  • Results showed that activating mitoK with diazoxide improved mitochondrial and heart function, while blocking it with 5-HD worsened the conditions, suggesting that enhancing mitoK activity could be a potential treatment for HIMS.

Increased intramitochondrial free iron is a key feature of various liver diseases, leading to oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and liver damage. Polydatin is a polyphenol with a hepatoprotective effect, which has been attributed to its ability to enhance mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and antioxidant defenses, thereby inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS) dependent cellular damage processes and liver diseases. However, it has not been explored whether polydatin is able to exert its effects by protecting the phospholipid cardiolipin against damage from excess iron.

Cardiolipin (CL), a critical phospholipid situated within the mitochondrial membrane, plays a significant role in modulating intramitochondrial processes, especially in the context of certain cardiac pathologies; however, the exact effects of alterations in cardiolipin on septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) are still debated and the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. This study highlights a notable increase in the expressions of ALCAT1 and PLSCR3 during the advanced stage of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced SCM. This up-regulation potential contribution to mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular apoptosis-as indicated by the augmented oxidative stress and cytochrome c (Cytc) release-coupled with reduced mitophagy, decreased levels of the antiapoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and lowered cell viability.

Mitochondrial membranes define distinct structural and functional compartments. Cristae of the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) function as independent bioenergetic units that undergo rapid and transient remodelling, but the significance of this compartmentalized organization is unknown. Using super-resolution microscopy, here we show that cytosolic IMM vesicles, devoid of outer mitochondrial membrane or mitochondrial matrix, are formed during resting state.
