The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in age-related diseases

Abstract: The aging process is accompanied by the onset of disease and a general decline in wellness. Insights into the aging process have revealed a number of cellular hallmarks of aging, among these epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, and stem cell exhaustion. Mitochondrial dysfunction increasingly appears to be a common factor connecting several of these hallmarks, driving the aging process and afflicting tissues throughout the body. Recent research has uncove… Show more

“…Mitochondrial dysfunction directly causes multiple inherited diseases (1) and is implicated in common diseases, including neurological developmental disorders (2,3), neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases (4)(5)(6), diabetes (7), asthma (8), cancer (9), and age-related disease (10). In mammals, these organelles have evolved to retain more than 1,000 proteins that interact within a complex, i.e., dual membrane architecture (11,12).…”

“…Depletion of stem cells in various tissues, mitochondrial dysfunction, and decline in immune system functions (immunosenescence) contribute to weakened allostatic potential. 28,145 Mitigating effects promoting ''successful aging'' include diet and psychosocial parameters, such as social networks and ''happiness. '' 111 These factors may also play a role in successful aging of apes, as ''happy'' orangutans seem to live longer.…”

“…Alterations in mtDNA are well known to involve a wide variety of energy metabolism 18 and aging-associated diseases, 19 such as atherosclerosis, diabetes 20 and cancer. 21 Because mtDNA usually presents with heteroplasmy, a quantitative analysis to determine the proportion and types of mtDNA alterations is critical for diagnosing disease and for assessing how to treat it.…”
