Abstract
Mitochondria is a subcellular organelle involved in the pathogenesis of cellular stress, immune responses, differentiation, metabolic disorders, aging, and death by regulating process of fission, fusion, mitophagy, and transport. However, an increased interest in mitochondria as powerhouse for ATP production, the mechanisms of mitochondria-mediated cellular dysfunction in response to hormonal interaction remains unknown. Mitochondrial matrix contains chaperones and proteases that regulate intrinsic apoptosis pathway through pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family's proteins Bax/Bak, and Cyt C release, and induces caspase-dependent and independent cells death. Energy and growth regulators such as thyroid hormones have profound effect on mitochondrial inner membrane protein and lipid compositions, ATP production by regulating oxidative phosphorylation system. Mitochondria contain cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme, P450scc, ferredoxin, and ferredoxin reductase providing an essential site for steroid hormones biosynthesis. In line with this, neurohormones such as oxytocin, vasopressin, and melatonin are correlated with mitochondrial integrity, displaying therapeutic implications for inflammatory and immune responses. Melatonin's also displayed protective role against oxidative stress and mitochondrial synthesis of ROS, suggesting a defense mechanism against aging-related diseases. An imbalance in mitochondrial bioenergetics can cause neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers. Hormone-induced PGC-1α stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis via activation of NRF1 and NRF2, which in turn triggers mtTFA in brown adipose and cardiac myocytes. Mitochondria can be transferred through cells merging, exosome-mediated transfer, and tunneling through nanotubes. By delineating the underlying molecular mechanism of hormonal mitochondrial interaction, this study reviews the dynamics mechanisms of mitochondria and its effects on cellular level, health, diseases, and therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial diseases.
期刊介绍:
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
