“…Mitochondrial biogenesis is a complex process, which involve the activation of different signaling pathways that may modify mitochondrial function. Particularly, these pathways act about control of cell metabolism as a physiological response to increased energy demand as well as in regulation of mitochondrial ROS production and detoxification, in the proper mitochondrial respiratory complexes assembly and in the regulation of potential mutations in the mitochondrial DNA [63,64].…”

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator (PGC)-1α is a transcriptional coactivator described as a master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and function, including oxidative phosphorylation and reactive oxygen species detoxification. PGC-1α is highly expressed in tissues with high energy demands, and it is clearly associated with the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and its principal complications including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, and hepatic steatosis. We herein review the molecular pathways regulated by PGC-1α, which connect oxidative stress and mitochondrial metabolism with inflammatory response and metabolic syndrome. PGC-1α regulates the expression of mitochondrial antioxidant genes, including manganese superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxiredoxin 3 and 5, uncoupling protein 2, thioredoxin 2, and thioredoxin reductase and thus prevents oxidative injury and mitochondrial dysfunction. Dysregulation of PGC-1α alters redox homeostasis in cells and exacerbates inflammatory response, which is commonly accompanied by metabolic disturbances. During inflammation, low levels of PGC-1α downregulate mitochondrial antioxidant gene expression, induce oxidative stress, and promote nuclear factor kappa B activation. In metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by a chronic low grade of inflammation, PGC-1α dysregulation modifies the metabolic properties of tissues by altering mitochondrial function and promoting reactive oxygen species accumulation. In conclusion, PGC-1α acts as an essential node connecting metabolic regulation, redox control, and inflammatory pathways, and it is an interesting therapeutic target that may have significant benefits for a number of metabolic diseases.

“…The protein-folding environment in mitochondria is challenged by the complex organelle architecture and the delicate process of assembly of the electron transport chain. In addition, due to their role in energy production, mitochondria undergo continuous additional challenges, such as the management of ROS and the balance in potential mitochondrial DNA mutations [31].…”

Cardiac disease is still the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, despite some exciting and innovative improvements in clinical management. In particular, atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure show a steep increase in incidence and healthcare costs due to the ageing population. Although research revealed novel insights in pathways driving cardiac disease, the exact underlying mechanisms have not been uncovered so far. Emerging evidence indicates that derailed proteostasis (i.e., the homeostasis of protein expression, function and clearance) is a central component driving cardiac disease. Within proteostasis derailment, key roles for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondrial stress have been uncovered. Here, we describe the concept of ER and mitochondrial stress and the role of interactions between the ER and mitochondria, discuss how imbalance in the interactions fuels cardiac ageing and cardiac disease (including AF), and finally assess the potential of drugs directed at conserving the interaction as an innovative therapeutic target to improve cardiac function. of 15including the ubiquitin-proteasomal system (UPS) and autophagy [9]. In general, cellular stress, including stress caused by cardiac disease, activates multiple stress pathways, including the cytosolic heat shock response, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) unfolded protein response (UPR ER ), and the mitochondrial UPR (UPR mt ) [10][11][12].Within the PQC, the ER and mitochondria play a critical role in the regulation of protein homeostasis and the maintenance of normal cellular function. The ER is an essential organelle involved in protein synthesis, folding, and trafficking. As protein folding is an error-prone process, the PQC system of the ER is specialized in optimizing this process, thereby preserving cardiac protein quality and homeostasis [13]. As approximately 30% of the cardiomyocyte volume is comprised of mitochondria, the maintenance of a healthy and functional mitochondrial PQC system, which includes molecular chaperones (e.g., HSP60 and HSP10) and proteases (e.g., ClpP), is critical to conserve the energy balance and cardiomyocyte function. The PQC system in mitochondria activates, upon stress, protein folding assistance mechanisms and promotes clearance of misfolded proteins to preserve mitochondrial function [14,15].Thus, a healthy proteostasis in cardiomyocytes safeguards the proper contractile function in the heart. The ER and mitochondria are essential organelles for regulating protein homeostasis, thereby guaranteeing cardiomyocyte function and survival. Therefore, a deeper understanding of ER and mitochondrial function during health and cardiac disease is required to ultimately develop novel therapeutic strategies. Role of the ER in Cardiac HealthThe ER is an essential organelle supporting multiple cellular processes such as protein synthesis, protein folding, regulation of Ca 2+ homeostasis, and contribution to the generation of autophagosomes and peroxisomes [16]. The ER lumen constitutes of a specialized fol...

“…TAK-242/BTZ treatment increased expression of PINK1, which accumulates at the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and recruits Parkin to initiate mitophagy [47]. Generally, mitochondrial fragmentation precedes mitophagy as mitochondria that are smaller and easier to be engulfed by the autophagosomes [48]. During mitophagy, there is a robust mitochondrial translocation of p62/SQSTM1 which usually binds and targets ubiquitinated proteins to autophagic degradation.…”

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B-cell malignancy requiring inflammatory microenvironment signals for cell survival and proliferation. Despite improvements in pharmacological tools, MM remains incurable mainly because of drug resistance. The present study aimed to investigate the implication of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) as the potential mechanism of bortezomib (BTZ) resistance. We found that TLR4 activation induced mitochondrial biogenesis and increased mitochondrial mass in human MM cell lines. Moreover, TLR4 signaling was activated after BTZ exposure and was increased in BTZ-resistant U266 (U266-R) cells. A combination of BTZ with TAK-242, a selective TLR4 inhibitor, overcame drug resistance through the generation of higher and extended oxidative stress, strong mitochondrial depolarization and severe impairment of mitochondrial fitness which in turn caused cell energy crisis and activated mitophagy and apoptosis. We further confirmed the efficacy of a TAK-242/BTZ combination in plasma cells from refractory myeloma patients. Consistently, inhibition of TLR4 increased BTZ-induced mitochondrial depolarization, restoring pharmacological response. Taken together, these findings indicate that TLR4 signaling acts as a stress-responsive mechanism protecting mitochondria during BTZ exposure, sustaining mitochondrial metabolism and promoting drug resistance. Inhibition of TLR4 could be therefore be a possible target in patients with refractory MM to overcome BTZ resistance.
