Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species by Mitochondria

Abstract: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are series of chemical products originated from one or several electron reductions of oxygen. ROS are involved in physiology and disease and can also be both cause and consequence of many biological scenarios. Mitochondria are the main source of ROS in the cell and, particularly, the enzymes in the electron transport chain are the major contributors to this phenomenon. Here, we comprehensively review the modes by which ROS are produced by mitochondria at a molecular level of detai… Show more

“…Mitochondrial dynamics require the recruitment of proteins to mitochondria. Indeed, the importation of several proteins to mitochondria depends on proton electrochemical gradient H + created by ETS at the IMM, which is called the proton motive force (PMF) [157]. In addition, several redox-sensitive proteins are activated to induce proteins translocation from the cytosol.…”

“…mtNOS is considered the main source of RNS [118]. Mitochondrial complexes I (CI) and III (CIII) are the major sources of ROS within the mitochondria and the cell [119]. Mitochondria that produce ROS may generate oxidized phospholipids and isoprostanes, affecting inflammation and cancer progression.…”

“…With disruptions in OXPHOS being touted as a major contributor to ROS production [ 127 ], POLG patient-derived iPSC-NSCs and iPSC-DANs showed increased ROS levels that could be improved following N-acetylcysteine amide supplementation [ 125 , 126 ]. An increase in ROS was otherwise not detected in the patient iPSCs, while patient fibroblasts showed reduced ROS levels instead when compared to controls [ 125 ].…”
