Summary: Marchioretti and colleagues demonstrate that there are reversible alterations in gene expression related to muscle contraction and mitochondrial respiration in the skeletal muscle of SBMA mice and patients. These alterations are accompanied by calcium accumulation inside the mitochondria, motor dysfunction, and late changes in muscle structure. The deregulation of expression of genes involved in excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) occurs with sexual maturity and androgen increase in the serum. Surgical castration and AR silencing alleviate the early and late pathological processes, indicating an androgen-dependent nature of these alterations.

Summary: The study showed that dietary nitrate can attenuate the detrimental effects of high-fat diet on liver, including lipid accumulation, mitochondrial-specific reactive oxygen species emission, and oxidative stress. These effects are independent of changes in AMP-activated protein kinase signaling, mitochondrial content/respiratory capacity, or lipid-supported respiratory sensitivity, providing potential mechanisms for the therapeutic potential of dietary nitrate.

Summary: Oxidative stress is a result of imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their elimination by antioxidant mechanisms, exercise being one of the factors that can increase oxidative stress. Creatine, composed of essential and non-essential amino acids, may have positive effects as an antioxidant by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity and eliminating ROS.

Summary: This study found that high-intensity functional training can improve cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular performance without causing inflammation or muscle damage. After 8 weeks of training, participants experienced a decrease in body fat and improvements in maximal oxygen uptake, countermovement jump, bench press 1RM, bench press repetitions, and abdominal muscle endurance. The study also found a mild increase in CK in the morning after the first training session, but no significant inflammatory response.

Summary: The androgen receptor (AR) signalling pathway plays a key role in prostate cancer. Upstream kinases promote AR signalling, while other kinases are regulated by AR. These kinases represent potential therapeutic targets for PCa.

Summary: Mitochondrial utilization of fatty acids induces a significant increase in ROS detection at the chromatin level, indicating that mitochondrial metabolic perturbations directly alter the nuclear redox status, with chromatin being particularly sensitive to the prooxidant effect of FA utilization by the mitochondria.

Summary: The conventional treatment for prostate cancer is androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), which inhibits tumor progression driven by androgen receptor (AR) signaling. ADT-induced recurrence of prostate cancer can develop into a neuroendocrine (NE) phenotype with metabolic disturbances and poor prognosis. However, the metabolic pathways that regulate NE differentiation (NED) in prostate cancer are still unclear.

Summary: Tumors and metastatic cells have different preferences in energy metabolism, and drugs targeting mitochondrial metabolism may have therapeutic effects on metastatic cells. This review provides a mechanistic analysis of using drugs that enhance reactive oxygen species (ROS) production or reduce antioxidant defenses to increase oxidative stress and inhibit tumor cell survival. It also discusses the rationale for targeting ERK and mitochondrial respiration as therapeutic strategies to reduce tumor metastasis and treatment resistance.

Summary: Using redox proteomics, this study found that older adults showed a decrease in mitochondrial proteins and an increase in oxidation of multiple protein cysteines following high intensity exercise, which were not observed in younger participants. This lack of resilience in muscle of older adults post-exercise may play a role in attenuating multiple adaptations to exercise typically seen with aging.

Summary: This study discovered a molecule called scutellarin (SG) that can treat neurodegenerative diseases by regulating energy metabolism and repairing mitochondrial damage. The molecule was found to protect mitochondria through the PDK-PDC axis and mitochondrial glucose oxidation.

Summary: Mitochondrial dysfunction is a fundamental cause of ischemia reperfusion (I/R) damage, which refers to the paradoxical progression of cellular dysfunction and death when blood flow is restored to previously ischemic tissues. The opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pores (MPTP) due to increased mitochondrial permeability is a key factor in I/R injury. The interaction between MPTP and mitoKATP and their roles in I/R injury are the focus of this review.

Summary: This study presents a chemical toolbox, MI-BP-CC, for monitoring viscosity in living cells and fatter liver mice. The toolbox utilizes N,N-diethyl and double bonds as sensitive sites based on the TICT mechanism. The MI-BP-CC probe shows ultra-sensitivity in detecting viscosity and has successfully visualized increased viscosity in pathological models of Parkinson's disease and fatty liver mice.

Summary: Aging is a complex process involving functional decline in multiple organelles. The role of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) in aging is still poorly understood, although mitochondrial dysfunction is suggested to be a determining factor. Evidence suggests that reactive oxygen species (ROS) stimulate changes in mitochondrial dynamics and contribute to the accumulation of oxidized by-products through mitochondrial proteases and mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt). MQC mechanisms such as mitochondrial-derived vesicles (MDVs) and mitophagy play crucial roles in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and preventing cellular senescence and aging. However, imbalanced MQC interventions may accelerate abnormal energy metabolism and senescence. Appropriate interventions on MQC may delay the aging process and extend lifespan.

Summary: The study shows that postprandial lipoprotein subclass concentrations can effectively stratify cardiovascular disease risk. In the intermediate/high-risk FRS group, levels of fasting and postprandial VLDL1 + 2 and RLP, as well as postprandial LDL4 and VLDL3, were significantly higher than in the low-risk group.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between serum vitamin K concentrations and coronary artery calcification score. The results showed that serum vitamin K1 and MK-4 concentrations were significantly lower in middle-aged and elderly cohorts with increasing calcification scores. Vitamin K1 concentration was found to be negatively correlated with the calcification score in individuals who already had calcification. Further research is needed to investigate the role of serum vitamin K concentration detection in guiding vitamin K supplementation in patients with coronary calcification.
