As a result, it is not surprising that CNS cells (neurons, astrocytes, microglia, etc.) are well equipped with great mitochondrial content to support many of the energy-consuming cellular processes, including synapses, axonal branching and transport, membrane potential polarization, ion transport, and others [<span>1</span>]. Unfortunately, the great reliance on mitochondrial bioenergetics comes with a wide number of primary mitochondrial neurological syndromes, such as mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes (MELAS), myoclonic epilepsy with ragged-red fibers (MERRF), Leigh syndrome, Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO), and others [<span>2</span>]. In addition to primary mitochondrial neurological syndromes, common late-onset brain diseases, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, can also involve mitochondrial mutations [<span>3</span>]. The evidence ranges from pure bioenergetics defects to mitochondrial quality control, retrograde signaling, calcium buffering capacity, and redox homeostasis.</p><p>In this issue of <i>Acta Physiologica</i>, Jiménez-Sánchez et al. [<span>4</span>]. investigated the development of a primary mitochondrial fatal encephalopathy using a mouse model with a mutation in Coq9, the enzyme responsible for the biosynthesis of the coenzyme Q (Q10) (Figure 1a). The study addresses a series of provocative questions with broad-spectrum implications. For instance, what is the temporal relationship between cellular changes and symptoms? What are the main structural and cellular organizations affected by mitochondrial dysfunction? Is there a hierarchical set of components more susceptible to failure in such conditions? Answering these questions is fundamental to establishing causality as well as to improving treatment for patients suffering from primary mitochondrial neurological syndromes.</p><p>The authors provide a detailed timeline of pathological events, demonstrating that neuronal loss in the cortex, myelin damage, and astrocyte activation in the brainstem occur early (ca. 1 month of age) in this model, and precede the onset of motor symptoms. Interestingly, microglial activation appeared in late stages of neurological impairment, clarifying the cellular cascade initiated by this specific genetic defect (Figure 1a). Based on these findings, it could be informative to dissect cell-type composition during the progression of the neurodegeneration. For example, by co-staining NF-kB p65 with GFAP and Iba1 in the cortex and brainstem to quantify nuclear localization per cell type. This approach would provide per-cell pathway activation and partially control for compositional effects in aggregate measurements.</p><p>The mitochon","PeriodicalId":107,"journal":{"name":"Acta Physiologica","volume":"242 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/apha.70196","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147471900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The central amygdala (CeA) has emerged as a critical region in governing psychiatric health. Specifically, increased excitatory output from glutamatergic neurons or functional deficits in GABAergic inhibitory neurons within the CeA have been consistently linked to depressive-like behaviors in animal models [&lt;span&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;]. However, the upstream molecular mechanism that regulates the functional integrity of these distinct neuronal populations within the CeA remains unclear. Clarifying these pathways is therefore urgently needed, as it holds the key to identify novel therapeutic targets for restoring the fine balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters that is essential for determining depressive behaviors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A recent study in &lt;i&gt;Acta Physiologica&lt;/i&gt; titled “Cell type-specific loss of SIRT1 in central amygdala leads to depression-like behaviors by altering neuronal excitability in mice” [&lt;span&gt;7&lt;/span&gt;], Wang and colleagues identified Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;-dependent histone deacetylase, as a key molecular regulator governing the activity of CeA neurons, revealing a dual role that is cell-type dependent. SIRT1 has been previously identified as a key molecule in regulating negative emotion such as depression in animal models, positioning it as a potential therapeutic target for alleviating depression-related pathology [&lt;span&gt;8&lt;/span&gt;]. However, given the functional heterogeneity of SIRT1 across different brain regions and cell types, the development of SIRT1-targeting interventions remains a critical challenge. Wang and colleagues previously demonstrated that SIRT1 in the CeA can mediate chronic pain-induced depression [&lt;span&gt;9&lt;/span&gt;], suggesting that CeA SIRT1 might serve as a key molecule involved in the development of depression. Therefore, understanding how SIRT1 affects different CeA neuronal subtypes is essential for refining therapeutic strategies to restore neuronal balance in depression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The recent study by Wang and colleagues reveals that the function of SIRT1 in the CeA is highly cell-type dependent. Specifically, knocking down SIRT1 in CeA glutamatergic neurons directly increases their activity, leading to hyperexcitability and subsequent depressive-like behaviors. In contrast, knocking down SIRT1 in GABAergic neurons produces a dual effect: it not only reduces the inhibitory output of GABAergic neurons but also indirectly increases the activity of glutamatergic neurons. Together, these findings establish that the disruption of excitatory and inhibitory output within the CeA is a key mechanism underlying depression, highlighting SIRT1 as a cell type specific regulator of neuronal activity.
