A pressure ulcer (PU) is a pathological condition of prolonged ischemia and is associated with a loss of epidermis, which could expose the dermis and deeper tissues. It is necessary to remove the causative pressure and resume blood flow, but injurious damage to the ischemic area could occur with a delay after blood reflow, which could result in reperfusion injury. In the early stages of compression, muscle cells, which are highly dependent on aerobic respiration, are preferably damaged, and then the injury could spread to other dermal and epithelial cells. Infiltrated leukocytes release a variety of substances such as cytokines and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that act as anti-microorganisms, but these could also aggravate inflammation. The ROS are deeply involved in the pathogenesis of this condition, and, hence, antioxidant compounds and enzymes play a vital role in preventing the progression of PUs.

Next, we investigated proteins related to fusion and fission by western blotting. However, mitochondrial dysfunction occurs in both cases and is therefore thought to be associated with neurite degeneration.
