Role of the mtDNA Mutations and Mitophagy in Inflammaging

Abstract: Ageing is an unavoidable multi-factorial process, characterised by a gradual decrease in physiological functionality and increasing vulnerability of the organism to environmental factors and pathogens, ending, eventually, in death. One of the most elaborated ageing theories implies a direct connection between ROS-mediated mtDNA damage and mutations. In this review, we focus on the role of mitochondrial metabolism, mitochondria generated ROS, mitochondrial dynamics and mitophagy in normal ageing and pathologica… Show more

“…Therefore, timely normalisation of the mitochondrial Zn 2+ level via downregulation or inactivation of the mitochondrial ZIP7 expression could be beneficial for patients with acute myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases. Further, because impaired mitophagy is associated with many other diseases and disorders (such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, premature ageing, atherosclerosis and others) [76,77], zinc-based modulation of the mitophagy rate with therapeutic or pharmacological approaches may have wide clinical applications.…”

“…More AP sites result in green fluorescence with greater intensity and duration and the degree of mtdNA damage can be quantified based on the time of appearance and intensity of fluorescence at 480 nm. doxorubicin (dox), a common anticancer drug, not only causes damage to the nuclear dNA of cells but can also be rapidly inserted into the mtdNA of living cells, causing the aggregation of mtdNA nucleoids and changing the distribution of nuclear proteins (375)(376)(377)(378)(379)(380)(381)(382). Therefore, after dox induces mtdNA damage, morphological changes of mtdNA can be tracked in real time using the two-photon fluorescent probe CNQ, which emits red fluorescence and is localized to mtdNA.…”

“…However, there is also evidence for a possible role of mtDNA displacement into the circulation in the pathogenesis of several conditions. In particular, a pattern of pro-inflammatory mediators pertaining to innate immune responses, including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interferons (IFNs), have also been indicated to link cellular senescence with chronic low-grade inflammation [ 39 ]. In the next sections, the mechanisms of mtDNA release and the inflammatory signaling pathways elicited by circulating mtDNA molecules during aging and associated conditions are described.…”

“…Indeed, mtRNA−DNA hybrids that form during transcription, long stretches of ss-DNA, and R-loops containing RNA−DNA hybrids with a non-template ss-DNA are sensed and recognized by cGAS [ 73 ] ( Figure 2 ). The identification of high levels of pro-inflammatory mediators pertaining to innate immune responses in cellular senescence and chronic low-grade inflammation lends further support to a role of these mtDNA intermediates in triggering PRR-mediated responses [ 39 ]. However, their specific involvement in age-related conditions and senescence is currently unknown.…”
