Abstract
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute and severe clinical complication lacking effective therapeutic interventions. The disruption of the lung epithelial barrier plays a crucial role in ARDS pathogenesis. Recent studies have proposed the involvement of abnormal mitochondrial dynamics mediated by dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) in the mechanism of impaired epithelial barrier in ARDS. Hydrogen is an anti-oxidative stress molecule that regulates mitochondrial function via multiple signaling pathways. Our previous study confirmed that hydrogen modulated oxidative stress and attenuated acute pulmonary edema in ARDS by upregulating thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) expression, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects of hydrogen on mitochondrial dynamics both in vivo and in vitro. Our study revealed that hydrogen inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced phosphorylation of Drp1 (at Ser616), suppressed Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission, alleviated epithelial tight junction damage and cell apoptosis, and improved the integrity of the epithelial barrier. This process was associated with the upregulation of Trx1 in lung epithelial tissues of ARDS mice by hydrogen. In addition, hydrogen treatment reduced the production of reactive oxygen species in LPS-induced airway epithelial cells (AECs) and increased the mitochondrial membrane potential, indicating that the mitochondrial dysfunction was restored. Then, the expression of tight junction proteins occludin and zonula occludens 1 was upregulated, and apoptosis in AECs was alleviated. Remarkably, the protective effects of hydrogen on the mitochondrial and epithelial barrier were eliminated after applying the Trx1 inhibitor PX-12. The results showed that hydrogen significantly inhibited the cell apoptosis and the disruption of epithelial tight junctions, maintaining the integrity of the epithelial barrier in mice of ARDS. This might be related to the inhibition of Drp1-mediated mitochondrial fission through the Trx1 pathway. The findings of this study provided a new theoretical basis for the application of hydrogen in the clinical treatment of ARDS.

Abstract
Although the death of hepatocytes is a crucial trigger of liver ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, the regulation of liver I/R-induced hepatocyte death is still poorly understood. Phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5), a mitochondrial Serine/Threonine protein phosphatase, regulates mitochondrial dynamics and is involved in the process of both apoptosis and necrotic. However, it is still unclear what role PGAM5 plays in the death of hepatocytes induced by I/R. Using a PGAM5-silence mice model, we investigated the role of PGAM5 in liver I/R injury and its relevant molecular mechanisms. Our data showed that PGAM5 was highly expressed in mice with liver I/R injury. Silence of PGAM5 could decrease I/R-induced hepatocyte death in mice. In subcellular levels, the silence of PGAM5 could restore mitochondrial membrane potential, increase mitochondrial DNA copy number and transcription levels, inhibit ROS generation, and prevent I/R-induced opening of abnormal mPTP. As for the molecular mechanisms, we indicated that the silence of PGAM5 could inhibit Drp1(S616) phosphorylation, leading to a partial reduction of mitochondrial fission. In addition, Mdivi-1 could inhibit mitochondrial fission, decrease hepatocyte death, and attenuate liver I/R injury in mice. In conclusion, our data reveal the molecular mechanism of PGAM5 in driving hepatocyte death through activating mitochondrial fission in liver I/R injury.

Abstract
Mitochondria undergo repeated cycles of fusion and fission that regulate their size and shape by a process known as mitochondrial dynamics. Numerous studies have revealed the importance of this process in maintaining mitochondrial health and cellular homeostasis, particularly in highly metabolically active tissues such as skeletal muscle and the heart. Here, we review the literature on the relationship between mitochondrial dynamics and the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Importantly, we emphasize divergent outcomes resulting from downregulating distinct mitochondrial dynamics proteins in various tissues. This review underscores compensatory mechanisms and adaptive pathways that offset potentially detrimental effects, resulting instead in improved metabolic health. Finally, we offer a perspective on potential therapeutic implications of modulating mitochondrial dynamics proteins for treatment of diabetes and CVD. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
The use of cardioprotective strategies as adjuvants of cardioplegic solutions has become an ideal alternative for the improvement of post-surgery heart recovery. The choice of the optimal cardioplegia, as well as its distribution mechanism, remains controversial in the field of cardiovascular surgery. There is still a need to search for new and better cardioprotective methods during cardioplegic procedures. New techniques for the management of cardiovascular complications during cardioplegia have evolved with new alternatives and additives, and each new strategy provides a tool to neutralize the damage after ischemia/reperfusion events. Researchers and clinicians have committed themselves to studying the effect of new strategies and adjuvant components with the potential to improve the cardioprotective effect of cardioplegic solutions in preventing myocardial ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury during cardiac surgery. The aim of this review is to explore the different types of cardioplegia, their protection mechanisms, and which strategies have been proposed to enhance the function of these solutions in hearts exposed to cardiovascular pathologies that require surgical alternatives for their corrective progression.

Abstract
There remains an unmet need to identify novel therapeutic strategies capable of protecting the myocardium against the detrimental effects of acute ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), to reduce myocardial infarct (MI) size and prevent the onset of heart failure (HF) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In this regard, perturbations in mitochondrial morphology with an imbalance in mitochondrial fusion and fission can disrupt mitochondrial metabolism, calcium homeostasis, and reactive oxygen species production, factors which are all known to be critical determinants of cardiomyocyte death following acute myocardial IRI. As such, therapeutic approaches directed at preserving the morphology and functionality of mitochondria may provide an important strategy for cardioprotection. In this article, we provide an overview of the alterations in mitochondrial morphology which occur in response to acute myocardial IRI, and highlight the emerging therapeutic strategies for targeting mitochondrial shape to preserve mitochondrial function which have the future therapeutic potential to improve health outcomes in patients presenting with AMI.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dynamics, including fission and fusion processes, are essential for heart health. Mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells, maintain their integrity through continuous cycles of biogenesis, fission, fusion, and degradation. Mitochondria are relatively immobile in the adult heart, but their morphological changes due to mitochondrial morphology factors are critical for cellular functions such as energy production, organelle integrity, and stress response. Mitochondrial fusion proteins, particularly Mfn1/2 and Opa1, play multiple roles beyond their pro-fusion effects, such as endoplasmic reticulum tethering, mitophagy, cristae remodeling, and apoptosis regulation. On the other hand, the fission process, regulated by proteins such as Drp1, Fis1, Mff and MiD49/51, is essential to eliminate damaged mitochondria via mitophagy and to ensure proper cell division. In the cardiac system, dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics has been shown to cause cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, ischemia/reperfusion injury, and various cardiac diseases, including metabolic and inherited cardiomyopathies. In addition, mitochondrial dysfunction associated with oxidative stress has been implicated in atherosclerosis, hypertension and pulmonary hypertension. Therefore, understanding and regulating mitochondrial dynamics is a promising therapeutic tool in cardiac diseases. This review summarizes the role of mitochondrial morphology in heart diseases for each mitochondrial morphology regulatory gene, and their potential as therapeutic targets to heart diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (DOX) is among the most widely employed antitumor agents, although its clinical applications have been largely hindered by severe cardiotoxicity. Earlier studies described an essential role of mitochondrial injury in the pathogenesis of DOX cardiomyopathy. PHB2 (Prohibitin 2) is perceived as an essential regulator for mitochondrial dynamics and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) although its involvement in DOX cardiomyopathy remains elusive. METHODS To decipher the possible role of PHB2 in DOX cardiomyopathy, tamoxifen-induced cardiac-specific PHB2 conditional knockout mice were generated and subjected to DOX challenge. Cardiac function and mitochondrial profiles were examined. Screening of downstream mediators of PHB2 was performed using proteomic profiling and bioinformatic analysis, and was further verified using co-immunoprecipitation and pulldown assays. RESULTS Our data revealed significantly downregulated PHB2 expression in DOX-challenged mouse hearts. PHB2CKO mice were more susceptible to DOX cardiotoxicity compared with PHB2flox/flox mice, as evidenced by more pronounced cardiac atrophy, interstitial fibrosis and decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction and fractional shortening. Mechanistically, PHB2 deficiency resulted in the impairment of mitochondrial bioenergetics and oxidative phosphorylation in DOX cardiotoxicity. Proteomic profiling and interactome analyses revealed that PHB2 interacted with NDUFV2 (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit V2), a key subunit of mitochondrial respiratory Complex I to mediate regulatory property of PHB2 on mitochondrial metabolism. PHB2 governed the expression of NDUFV2 by promoting its stabilization, while PHB2 deficiency significantly downregulated NDUFV2 in DOX-challenged hearts. Cardiac overexpression of PHB2 alleviated mitochondrial defects in DOX cardiomyopathy both in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Our study defined a novel role for PHB2 in mitochondrial dynamics and energetic metabolism through interacting with NDUFV2 in DOX-challenged hearts. Forced overexpression of PHB2 may be considered a promising therapeutic approach for patients with DOX cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Six-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-bisphosphatase 2 (PFKFB2) is a key regulator of glycolytic enzyme. This study identified whether PFKFB2 can regulate myocardial ferroptosis in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Mice myocardial (I/R) injury and H9c2 cells oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) models were established. PFKFB2 expression was enhanced in I/R mice and OGD/R H9c2 cells. Overexpression of PFKFB2 improves heart function in I/R mice. Overexpression of PFKFB2 inhibits I/R and OGD/R-induced ferroptosis in mice and H9c2 cells. Mechanistically, overexpression of PFKFB2 activates the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK inhibitor compound C reverses effect of PFKFB2 overexpression in reducing ferroptosis under OGD/R treatment. In conclusion, PFKFB2 protects hearts against I/R-induced ferroptosis through activation of the AMPK signaling pathway.

Abstract
Ischaemic heart disease, which often manifests clinically as myocardial infarction (MI), remains a major cause of mortality worldwide. Despite the development of effective pre-clinical cardioprotective therapies, clinical translation has been disappointing. Nevertheless, the 'reperfusion injury salvage kinase' (RISK) pathway appears to be a promising target for cardioprotection. This pathway is crucial for the induction of cardioprotection by numerous pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, such as ischaemic conditioning. An important component of the cardioprotective effects of the RISK pathway involves the prevention of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) opening and subsequent cardiac cell death. Here, we will review the historical perspective of the RISK pathway and focus on its interaction with mitochondria in the setting of cardioprotection.

Abstract
The translocation of Drp1 from the cytosol to mitochondria leads to Drp1 activation and mitochondrial fission in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R). However, the molecular mechanism underlying mitochondrial Drp1 translocation remains poorly understood. Mitochondrial Drp1 recruitment relies on 4 binding partners including MiD49, MiD51, Mff and Fis1. This study was to elucidate which one facilitate mitochondrial Drp1 translocation and its role in MI/R injury. MI/R was induced by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min and subsequent reperfusion for 3 h. Primary neonatal cardiomyocytes were subjected to hypoxia for 2 h and reoxygenation for 4 h. SiRNA or Adeno-associated virus (AAV) expressing shRNA was used to knock down the key binding partner in vitro or in vivo respectively. The expression of MiD51 rather than other binding partners (MiD49, Mff or Fis1) was increased after MI/R. MiD51 knockdown inhibited hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) or ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced mitochondrial Drp1 translocation. SiRNA-induced knockdown of MiD51 suppressed mitochondrial oxidative stress, improved mitochondrial function and alleviate cellular injury in H/R cardiomyocytes. AAV-mediated knockdown of MiD51 reduced myocardial injury and improved cardiac function in the I/R hearts, while mitochondrial Drp1 translocation and cardiac function were not affected by MiD51 knockdown in the hearts without I/R. MiD51 is identified as the binding partner that promotes mitochondrial Drp1 translocation and contributes to MI/R injury. Inhibition of MiD51 may be a potential therapeutic target to alleviate MI/R injury.

Abstract
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that alter their morphology through fission (fragmentation) and fusion (elongation). These morphological changes correlate highly with mitochondrial functional adaptations to stressors, such as hypoxia, pressure overload, and inflammation, and are important in the setting of heart failure. Pathological mitochondrial remodeling, characterized by increased fission and reduced fusion, is associated with impaired mitochondrial respiration, increased mitochondrial oxidative stress, abnormal cytoplasmic calcium handling, and increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Considering the impact of the mitochondrial morphology on mitochondrial behavior and cardiomyocyte performance, altered mitochondrial dynamics could be expected to induce or exacerbate the pathogenesis and progression of heart failure. However, whether alterations in mitochondrial fission and fusion accelerate or retard the progression of heart failure has been the subject of intense debate. In this review, we first describe the physiological processes and regulatory mechanisms of mitochondrial fission and fusion. Then, we extensively discuss the pathological contributions of mitochondrial fission and fusion to heart failure. Lastly, we examine potential therapeutic approaches targeting mitochondrial fission/fusion to treat patients with heart failure.

Abstract
Mitochondria consist of the inner mitochondrial membrane and the outer mitochondrial membrane, which maintain mitochondrial homeostasis through continuous fission and fusion to ensure a healthy mitochondrial network and thus regulate normal cellular function, namely mitochondrial dynamics. The imbalance between mitochondrial fusion and fission results in abnormal mitochondrial structure and eventually mitochondrial dysfunction, which is involved in the pathological process of ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) is a key protein that regulates mitochondrial inner membrane fusion and ensures normal mitochondrial function by balancing mitochondrial dynamics, participating in various processes such as mitochondrial fusion, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Ischemia-induced changes in mitochondrial dynamics may be a key factor in limiting the recanalization time window and exacerbating reperfusion injury, and the mechanisms of these changes deserve further attention. Therefore, targeting OPA1-related mitochondrial fusions, thereby balancing mitochondrial dynamics and improving mitochondrial dysfunction, is a promising therapeutic strategy for ischemia-reperfusion diseases. This review will elaborate on the structure and function of OPA1 and the role of OPA1 in IRI to provide promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is an increasing body of evidence to show that impairment in mitochondrial dynamics including excessive fission and insufficient fusion has been observed in the pre-diabetic condition. In pre-diabetic rats with cardiac ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, acute treatment with a mitochondria fission inhibitor (Mdivi-1) and a fusion promoter (M1) showed cardioprotection. However, the potential preventive effects of chronic Mdivi-1 and M1 treatment in a pre-diabetic model of cardiac I/R have never been elucidated. METHODS Male Wistar rats (n = 40) were fed with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks to induce prediabetes. Then, all pre-diabetic rats received the following treatments daily via intraperitoneal injection for 2 weeks: (1) HFDV (Vehicle, 0.1% DMSO); (2) HFMdivi1 (Mdivi-1 1.2 mg/kg); (3) HFM1 (M1 2 mg/kg); and (4) HFCom (Mdivi-1 + M1). At the end of treatment protocols, all rats underwent 30 min of coronary artery ligation followed by reperfusion for 120 min. RESULTS Chronic Mdivi-1, M1, and the combined treatment showed markedly improved cardiac mitochondrial function and dynamic control, leading to a decrease in cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial cell death, and infarct size (49%, 42%, and 51% reduction for HFMdivi1, HFM1, and HFCom, respectively vs HFDV). All of these treatments improved cardiac function following cardiac I/R injury in pre-diabetic rats. CONCLUSION Chronic inhibition of mitochondrial fission and promotion of fusion exerted cardioprevention in prediabetes with cardiac I/R injury through the relief of cardiac mitochondrial dysfunction and dynamic alterations, and reduction in myocardial infarction, thus improving cardiac function.

Abstract
RATIONAL Excessive mitochondrial fission is considered key process involved in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the upstream mechanism remains largely unclear. Decreased level of Kruppel Like Factor 4 (KLF4) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of mitochondrial dysfunction and heart's adaption to stress. However, the role of Klf4 in I/R process is not fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate how Klf4 regulates mitochondrial dynamics and further clarify its underlying mechanism during cardiac I/R injury. METHODS Loss-of-function and gain-of-function strategies were applied to investigate the role of Klf4 in cardiac I/R injury via genetic ablation or intra-myocardial adenovirus injection. Mitochondrial dynamics was analyzed by confocal microscopy in vitro and transmission electron microscopy in vivo. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase reporter assay were performed to explore the underlying mechanisms. RESULTS KLF4 was downregulated in I/R heart. Cardiac-specific Klf4 knockout significantly exacerbated cardiac dysfunction in I/R mice. Mechanistically, Klf4 deficiency aggravated mitochondrial apoptosis, reduced ATP generation and boosted ROS overproduction via enhancing DRP1-dependent mitochondrial fission. ROCK1 was identified as a kinase regulating DRP1 activity at Ser616. Klf4 deficiency upregulated the expression of ROCK1 at transcriptional level, thus increasing S616-DRP1-mediated mitochondrial fission during I/R. Finally, reconstitution of Klf4 inhibited mitochondrial fission, restored mitochondrial function and alleviated I/R injury. CONCLUSION Our study provides the first evidence that Klf4 deficiency exacerbates myocardial I/R injury through regulating ROCK1 expression at transcriptional level to induce DRP1-mediated mitochondrial fission. Targeting mitochondrial dynamics by restoring Klf4 might be potentially cardio-protective strategies attenuating I/R injury.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is a large GTPase regulator of mitochondrial dynamics and is known to play an important role in numerous pathophysiological processes. Despite being the most widely used Drp1 inhibitor, the specificity of Mdivi-1 towards human Drp1 has not been definitively proven and there have been numerous issues reported with its use including off-target effects. In our hands Mdivi-1 showed varying binding affinities toward human Drp1, potentially impacted by compound aggregation. Herein, we sought to identify a novel small molecule inhibitor of Drp1. From an initial virtual screening, we identified DRP1i27 as a compound which directly bound to the human isoform 3 of Drp1 via surface plasmon resonance and microscale thermophoresis. Importantly, DRP1i27 was found to have a dose-dependent increase in the cellular networks of fused mitochondria but had no effect in Drp1 knock-out cells. Further analogues of this compound were identified and screened, though none displayed greater affinity to human Drp1 isoform 3 than DRP1i27. To date, this is the first small molecule inhibitor shown to directly bind to human Drp1.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of systemic disorders threatening human health with complex pathogenesis, among which mitochondrial energy metabolism reprogramming has a critical role. Mitochondria are cell organelles that fuel the energy essential for biochemical reactions and maintain normal physiological functions of the body. Mitochondrial metabolic disorders are extensively involved in the progression of CVD, especially for energy-demanding organs such as the heart. Therefore, elucidating the role of mitochondrial metabolism in the progression of CVD is of great significance to further understand the pathogenesis of CVD and explore preventive and therapeutic methods. In this review, we discuss the major factors of mitochondrial metabolism and their potential roles in the prevention and treatment of CVD. The current application of mitochondria-targeted therapeutic agents in the treatment of CVD and advances in mitochondria-targeted gene therapy technologies are also overviewed.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death worldwide and in particular, ischemic heart disease holds the most considerable position. Even if it has been deeply studied, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is still a side-effect of the clinical treatment for several heart diseases: ischemia process itself leads to temporary damage to heart tissue and obviously the recovery of blood flow is promptly required even if it worsens the ischemic injury. There is no doubt that mitochondria play a key role in pathogenesis of IRI: dysfunctions of these important organelles alter cell homeostasis and survival. It has been demonstrated that during IRI the system of mitochondrial quality control undergoes alterations with the disruption of the complex balance between the processes of mitochondrial fusion, fission, biogenesis and mitophagy. The fundamental role of mitochondria is carried out thanks to the finely regulated connection to other organelles such as plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum and nucleus, therefore impairments of these inter-organelle communications exacerbate IRI. This review pointed to enhance the importance of the mitochondrial network in the pathogenesis of IRI with the aim to focus on potential mitochondria-targeting therapies as new approach to control heart tissue damage after ischemia and reperfusion process.

Abstract
Background The regulatory role of mitochondria in the inflammatory response of the nervous system postoperatively remains unclear. This study explored the relationship between mitochondria and postoperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PNCD) by regulating mitochondrial function in aged rats undergoing splenectomy. Methods A total of 120 aged rats were randomly divided into five groups (n=24) as follows: Control group (not subjected to any form of treatment), Sham group (subjected only to sham-splenectomized operation after anesthesia), Splenectomy group (only underwent splenectomy after anesthesia), Synonyms Mitochondrial division inhibitor 1 (Mdivi-1) group [treated with Mdivi-1, a dynamin-relatedprotein 1 (Drp1) inhibitor], and Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) group (treated with DMSO, a solvent). Inflammatory markers, namely interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), were measured in the plasma and brains of the rats. Cognitive function was assessed using the Morris water maze test. Results During the perioperative period, the physiological parameters did not differ among the five groups (P>0.05). The results of the Morris water maze experiments showed that the memory of the rats was significantly impaired after splenectomy, which was alleviated by Mdivi-1 administration (P=0.04). Postoperatively, the proinflammatory cytokine levels in the serum and hippocampus tissue were upregulated, while Mdivi-1 administration reduced this increase. The electron microscopy and hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining results indicated that the structure of neurons and mitochondria was minimally impaired in the Mdivi-1 group. Conclusions Aged rats that underwent splenectomy exhibited significant postoperative cognitive impairments. The selective inhibitor of Drp1, Mdivi-1, exerted protective effects against PNCD by ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction and reducing the inflammatory response.

Abstract
Hydralazine is a traditional antihypertensive drug that was developed several decades ago. Its most well-known effect is blood pressure lowering by arterial vasodilation. While mainly used an adjunct treatment for clinical hypertension or chronic heart failure, this old drug has also shown potential as a repurposing drug for the atherosclerosis vascular disease and various kidney diseases. Recent experimental studies suggest that hydralazine exerts antioxidative, anti-apoptotic, and HIF-1α stabilization effects for angiogenesis and vascular protection. Hydralazine also exerts reno-protective effects via its antioxidation, DNA demethylation, and anti-inflammation abilities. The above evidence provides advanced rationales for new applications of this drug beyond blood pressure lowering and arterial vasodilation. Here, we summarized the recent experimental advances in the use of hydralazine for either a vascular disease or kidney diseases, or both. Given the wide populations of people with cardiovascular and/or kidney diseases, future studies are worth validating the potential impacts of hydralazine on the clinical outcomes in selected patients.

Abstract
Mitochondria are central organelles in the homeostasis of the cardiovascular system via the integration of several physiological processes, such as ATP generation via oxidative phosphorylation, synthesis/exchange of metabolites, calcium sequestration, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production/buffering and control of cellular survival/death. Mitochondrial impairment has been widely recognized as a central pathomechanism of almost all cardiovascular diseases, rendering these organelles important therapeutic targets. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported to occur in the setting of drug-induced toxicity in several tissues and organs, including the heart. Members of the drug classes currently used in the therapeutics of cardiovascular pathologies have been reported to both support and undermine mitochondrial function. For the latter case, mitochondrial toxicity is the consequence of drug interference (direct or off-target effects) with mitochondrial respiration/energy conversion, DNA replication, ROS production and detoxification, cell death signaling and mitochondrial dynamics. The present narrative review aims to summarize the beneficial and deleterious mitochondrial effects of common cardiovascular medications as described in various experimental models and identify those for which evidence for both types of effects is available in the literature.

Abstract
Mitochondria are organelles involved in the regulation of various important cellular processes, ranging from ATP generation to immune activation. A healthy mitochondrial network is essential for cardiovascular function and adaptation to pathological stressors. Mitochondria undergo fission or fusion in response to various environmental cues, and these dynamic changes are vital for mitochondrial function and health. In particular, mitochondrial fission is closely coordinated with the cell cycle and is linked to changes in mitochondrial respiration and membrane permeability. Another key function of fission is the segregation of damaged mitochondrial components for degradation by mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy). Mitochondrial fission is induced by the large GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) and is subject to sophisticated regulation. Activation requires various post-translational modifications of DRP1, actin polymerization and the involvement of other organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes. A decrease in mitochondrial fusion can also shift the balance towards mitochondrial fission. Although mitochondrial fission is necessary for cellular homeostasis, this process is often aberrantly activated in cardiovascular disease. Indeed, strong evidence exists that abnormal mitochondrial fission directly contributes to disease development. In this Review, we compare the physiological and pathophysiological roles of mitochondrial fission and discuss the therapeutic potential of preventing excessive mitochondrial fission in the heart and vasculature.

Abstract
Drug repurposing is the use of a given therapeutic agent for indications other than that for which it was originally designed or intended. The concept is appealing because of potentially lower development costs and shorter timelines than are needed to produce a new drug. To date, drug repurposing for cardiovascular indications has been opportunistic and driven by knowledge of disease mechanisms or serendipitous observation rather than by systematic endeavours to match an existing drug to a new indication. Innovations in two areas of personalized medicine — computational approaches to associate drug effects with disease signatures and predictive model systems to screen drugs for disease-modifying activities — support efforts that together create an efficient pipeline to systematically repurpose drugs to treat cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, new experimental strategies that guide the medicinal chemistry re-engineering of drugs could improve repurposing efforts by tailoring a medicine to its new indication. In this Review, we summarize the historical approach to repurposing and discuss the technological advances that have created a new landscape of opportunities. Drugs can be repurposed for new therapeutic indications. In this Review, Mercola and colleagues summarize the latest techniques for systematic drug repurposing and re-engineering, which could increase the pace, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of drug discovery for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Contemporary technologies are expected to make drug repurposing large-scale, systematic and deliberate rather than opportunistic. New experimental and computational tools harness patient genomics for drug repurposing. Discovery of repurposed drugs on the basis of patient genomics has implications for precision prescribing of medicines to treat individual patients. The treatment of rare, monogenic diseases, which often provide too little return on investment to incentivize conventional drug discovery, might benefit because the molecular aetiologies of these diseases are well suited to the discovery of drug repurposing candidates.

Abstract
The heart is dependent on ATP production in mitochondria, which is closely associated with cardiovascular disease because of the oxidative stress produced by mitochondria. Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that constantly change their morphology to elongated (fusion) or small and spherical (fission). These mitochondrial dynamics are regulated by various small GTPases, Drp1, Fis1, Mitofusin, and Opa1. Mitochondrial fission and fusion are essential to maintain a balance between mitochondrial biogenesis and mitochondrial turnover. Recent studies have demonstrated that mitochondrial dynamics play a crucial role in the development of cardiovascular diseases and senescence. Disruptions in mitochondrial dynamics affect mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiomyocyte survival leading to cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. Mitochondrial dynamics and reactive oxygen species production have been associated with endothelial dysfunction, which in turn causes the development of atherosclerosis, hypertension, and even pulmonary hypertension, including pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Here, we review the association between cardiovascular diseases and mitochondrial dynamics, which may represent a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Our prior studies have characterized the participation of histone demethylase KDM3A in diabetic vascular remodeling, while its roles in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury (MIRI) remain to be illustrated. Here we show that KDM3A was significantly downregulated in rat I/R and cellular hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) models. Subsequently, gain- and loss-of-function experiments were performed to investigate the effects of KDM3A in the settings of MIRI. KDM3A knockout exacerbated cardiac dysfunction and cardiomyocytes injury both in vivo and in vitro. The deteriorated mitochondrial apoptosis, reactive oxygen species, and inflammation were simultaneously observed. Conversely, KDM3A overexpression developed the ameliorated alternations in MIRI. Mechanistically, the MIRI-alleviating effects of KDM3A were associated with the enhancement of ETS1 expression. ChIP-PCR affirmed that KDM3A bound to the ETS1 promoter and removed dimethylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me2), thus promoting ETS1 transcription. Our findings suggest that KDM3A is available for alleviating multi-etiologies of MIRI through the regulation of ETS1. Prevention of cardiac injury requires a deeper mechanistic understanding of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) episodes. Here, the authors find that the epigenetic modifier KDM3A plays a crucial role in myocardial I/R injury through its activation of the gene ETS1 and suggest boosting KDM3A expression could be a potential treatment strategy.

Abstract
Energy-demanding organs like the heart are strongly dependent on oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. Oxidative phosphorylation is governed by the respiratory chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The inner mitochondrial membrane is the only cellular membrane with significant amounts of the phospholipid cardiolipin, and cardiolipin was found to directly interact with a number of essential protein complexes, including respiratory chain complexes I to V. An inherited defect in the biogenesis of cardiolipin causes Barth syndrome, which is associated with cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, neutropenia and growth retardation. Energy conversion is dependent on reducing equivalents, which are replenished by oxidative metabolism in the Krebs cycle. Cardiolipin deficiency in Barth syndrome also affects Krebs cycle activity, metabolite transport and mitochondrial morphology. During excitation-contraction coupling, calcium (Ca2+ ) released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum drives sarcomeric contraction. At the same time, Ca2+ influx into mitochondria drives the activation of Krebs cycle dehydrogenases and the regeneration of reducing equivalents. Reducing equivalents are essential not only for energy conversion, but also for maintaining a redox buffer, which is required to detoxify reactive oxygen species (ROS). Defects in CL may also affect Ca2+ uptake into mitochondria and thereby hamper energy supply and demand matching, but also detoxification of ROS. Here, we review the impact of cardiolipin deficiency on mitochondrial function in Barth syndrome and discuss potential therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Despite important advances in the treatment of myocardial infarction that have significantly reduced mortality, there is still an unmet need to limit the infarct size after reperfusion injury in order to prevent the onset and severity of heart failure. Multiple cardioprotective maneuvers, therapeutic targets, peptides and drugs have been developed to effectively protect the myocardium from reperfusion-induced cell death in preclinical studies. Nonetheless, the translation of these therapies from laboratory to clinical contexts has been quite challenging. Comorbidities, comedications or inadequate ischemia/reperfusion experimental models are clearly identified variables that need to be accounted for in order to achieve effective cardioprotection studies. The aging heart is characterized by altered proteostasis, DNA instability, epigenetic changes, among others. A vast number of studies has shown that multiple therapeutic strategies, such as ischemic conditioning phenomena and protective drugs are unable to protect the aged heart from myocardial infarction. In this Mini-Review, we will provide an updated state of the art concerning potential new cardioprotective strategies targeting the aging heart.

Abstract
Mitochondria are the central target of ischemic preconditioning and postconditioning cardioprotective strategies, which consist of either the application of brief intermittent ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) cycles or the administration of pharmacological agents. Such strategies reduce cardiac I/R injury by activating protective signaling pathways that prevent the exacerbated production of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, inhibit opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore and reduce apoptosis, maintaining normal mitochondrial function. Cardioprotection also involves the activation of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) processes, which replace defective mitochondria or eliminate mitochondrial debris, preserving the structure and function of the network of these organelles, and consequently ensuring homeostasis and survival of cardiomyocytes. Such processes include mitochondrial biogenesis, fission, fusion, mitophagy and mitochondrial-controlled cell death. This review updates recent advances in MQC mechanisms that are activated in the protection conferred by different cardiac conditioning interventions. Furthermore, the role of extracellular vesicles in mitochondrial protection and turnover of these organelles will be discussed. It is concluded that modulation of MQC mechanisms and recognition of mitochondrial targets could provide a potential and selective therapeutic approach for I/R-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.
