Abstract
Huanglongbing (HLB, citrus greening disease), the most destructive disease affecting citrus production, is primarily linked to the gram-negative, insect-vectored, phloem-inhabiting α-proteobacterium 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (CLas). With no effective treatment available, management strategies have largely focused on the use of insecticides in addition to the destruction of infected trees, which are environmentally hazardous and cost-prohibitive for growers, respectively. A major limitation to combating HLB is the inability to isolate CLas in axenic culture, which hinders in vitro studies and creates a need for robust in situ CLas detection and visualization methods. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a nutritional program-based approach for HLB treatment, and to explore the effectiveness of an enhanced immunodetection method to detect CLas-infected tissues. To achieve this, four different biologically enhanced nutritional programs (bENPs; P1, P2, P3, and P4) were tested on CLas-infected citrus trees. Structured illumination microscopy preceded by a modified immunolabeling process and transmission electron microscopy were used to show treatment-dependent reduction of CLas cells in phloem tissues. No sieve pore plugging was seen in the leaves of P2 trees. This was accompanied by an 80% annual increase in fruit number per tree and 1,503 (611 upregulated and 892 downregulated) differentially expressed genes. These included an MLRQ subunit gene, UDP-glucose transferase, and genes associated with the alpha-amino linolenic acid metabolism pathway in P2 trees. Taken together, the results highlight a major role for bENPs as a viable, sustainable, and cost effective option for HLB management.

Abstract
People with sedentary lifestyles engage in minimal or no physical activity. A sedentary lifestyle promotes dysregulation of cellular redox balance, diminishes mitochondrial function, and increases NADPH oxidase activity. These changes collectively increase cellular oxidative stress, which alters endothelial function by oxidizing LDL-C, reducing NO production, and causing eNOS uncoupling. Reduced levels of nitric oxide (NO) leads to vasoconstriction, vascular remodeling, and vascular inflammation. Exercise modulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) to modify NRF2-KEAP signaling, leading to the activation of NRF2 to alleviate oxidative stress. While regular moderate exercise activates NRF2 through ROS production, high-intensity intermittent exercise stimulates NRF2 activation to a greater degree by reducing KEAP levels, which can be more beneficial for sedentary individuals. We review the damaging effects of a sedentary lifestyle on the vascular system and the health benefits of regular and intermittent exercise.

Abstract
Although often effective at treating newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM), increasing evidence suggests that chemo- and radiotherapy-induced alterations in tumor metabolism promote GBM recurrence and aggressiveness, as well as treatment resistance. Recent studies have demonstrated that alterations in glioma cell metabolism, induced by a switch in the isoform expression of cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4 (COX4), a key regulatory subunit of mammalian cytochrome c oxidase, could promote these effects. To understand how the two COX4 isoforms (COX4-1 and COX4-2) differentially affect glioma metabolism, glioma samples harvested from COX4-1- or COX4-2-overexpressing U251 cells were profiled using Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry GC-MS and Liquid Chromatography - Tandem Mass Spectrometry LC-MS/MS metabolomics platforms. The concentration of 362 metabolites differed significantly in the two cell types. The two most significantly upregulated pathways associated with COX4-1 overexpression were purine and glutathione metabolism; the two most significantly downregulated metabolic pathways associated with COX4-1 expression were glycolysis and fatty acid metabolism. Our study provides new insights into how Cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) regulatory subunits affect cellular metabolic networks in GBM and identifies potential targets that may be exploited for therapeutic benefit.

Abstract
Radiation is a common anticancer therapy for prostate cancer, which transforms tumor-associated normal fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, resulting in fibrosis. Oxidative stress caused by radiation-mediated mitochondrial damage is one of the major contributors to fibrosis. As diabetics are oxidatively stressed, radiation-mediated reactive oxygen species cause severe treatment failure, treatment-related side effects, and significantly reduced survival for diabetic prostate cancer patients as compared to non-diabetic prostate cancer patients. Hyperglycemia and enhanced mitochondrial damage significantly contribute to oxidative damage and disease progression after radiation therapy among diabetic prostate cancer patients. Therefore, reduction of mitochondrial damage in normal prostate fibroblasts after radiation should improve the overall clinical state of diabetic prostate cancer patients. We previously reported that MnTE-2-PyP, a manganese porphyrin, reduces oxidative damage in irradiated hyperglycemic prostate fibroblasts by scavenging superoxide and activating NRF2. In the current study, we have investigated the potential role of MnTE-2-PyP to protect mitochondrial health in irradiated hyperglycemic prostate fibroblasts. This study revealed that hyperglycemia and radiation increased mitochondrial ROS via blocking the mitochondrial electron transport chain, altered mitochondrial dynamics, and reduced mitochondrial biogenesis. Increased mitochondrial damage preceeded an increase in myofibroblast differentiation. MnTE-2-PyP reduced myofibroblast differentiation, improved mitochondrial health by releasing the block on the mitochondrial electron transport chain, enhanced ATP production efficiency, and restored mitochondrial dynamics and metabolism in the irradiated-hyperglycemic prostate fibroblasts. Therefore, we are proposing that one of the mechanisms that MnTE-2-PyP protects prostate fibroblasts from irradiation and hyperglycemia-mediated damage is by protecting the mitochondrial health in diabetic prostate cancer patients. MnTE-2-PyP protects mitochondria from radiation and hyperglycemia-induced stress. MnTE-2-PyP reduced mitochondrial ROS by restoring the levels of OXPHOS complexes. MnTE-2-PyP increased the number of healthy mitochondria and enhanced ATP production efficiency. Mitochondrial protection by MnTE-2-PyP inhibits myofibroblast differentiation. MnTE-2-PyP treatment partly restores radiation-mediated metabolic changes.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disturbance in inherited mitochondrial diseases. It is essential to increase awareness of the correct diagnosis and treatment of diabetes in these patients and screen for the condition in family members, as diabetes might appear with distinctive clinical features, complications and at different ages of onset. The severity of mitochondrial-related diabetes is likely to manifest on a large scale of phenotypes depending on the location of the mutation and whether the number of affected mitochondria copies (heteroplasmy) reaches a critical threshold. Regarding diabetes treatment, the first-choice treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D), metformin, is not recommended because of the risk of lactic acidosis. The preferred treatment for diabetes in patients with mitochondrial disorders is SGLT-2i and mitochondrial GLP-1-related substances. The tight relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), and diabetes development in human patients is acknowledged. However, despite the well-characterized role of mitochondria in GSIS, there is a relative lack of data in humans implicating mitochondrial dysfunction as a primary defect in T2D. Our recent studies have provided data supporting the significant role of the mitochondrial respiratory-chain enzyme, cytochrome c oxidase (COX), in regulating GSIS in a rodent model of T2D, the Cohen diabetic sensitive (CDs) rat. The nutritionally induced diabetic CDs rat demonstrates several features of mitochondrial diseases: markedly reduced COX activity in several tissues, increased reactive oxygen production, decreased ATP generation, and increased lactate dehydrogenase expression in islets. Moreover, our data demonstrate that reduced islet-COX activity precedes the onset of diabetes, suggesting that islet-COX deficiency is the primary defect causing diabetes in this model. This review examines the possibility of including T2D as a primary mitochondrial-related disease. Understanding the critical interdependence between diabetes and mitochondrial dysfunction, centering on the role of COX, may open novel avenues to diagnose and treat diabetes in patients with mitochondrial diseases and mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Significance: Mitochondria determine glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in pancreatic β-cells by elevating ATP synthesis. As the metabolic and redox hub, mitochondria provide numerous links to the plasma membrane channels, insulin granule vesicles (IGVs), cell redox, NADH, NADPH, and Ca2+ homeostasis, all affecting insulin secretion. Recent Advances: Mitochondrial redox signaling was implicated in several modes of insulin secretion (branched-chain ketoacid [BCKA]-, fatty acid [FA]-stimulated). Mitochondrial Ca2+ influx was found to enhance GSIS, reflecting cytosolic Ca2+ oscillations induced by action potential spikes (intermittent opening of voltage-dependent Ca2+ and K+ channels) or the superimposed Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ATPase inhibitory factor 1 (IF1) was reported to tune the glucose sensitivity range for GSIS. Mitochondrial protein kinase A was implicated in preventing the IF1-mediated inhibition of the ATP synthase. Critical Issues: It is unknown how the redox signal spreads up to the plasma membrane and what its targets are, what the differences in metabolic, redox, NADH/NADPH, and Ca2+ signaling, and homeostasis are between the first and second GSIS phase, and whether mitochondria can replace ER in the amplification of IGV exocytosis. Future Directions: Metabolomics studies performed to distinguish between the mitochondrial matrix and cytosolic metabolites will elucidate further details. Identifying the targets of cell signaling into mitochondria and of mitochondrial retrograde metabolic and redox signals to the cell will uncover further molecular mechanisms for insulin secretion stimulated by glucose, BCKAs, and FAs, and the amplification of secretion by glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) and metabotropic receptors. They will identify the distinction between the hub β-cells and their followers in intact and diabetic states. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 36, 920-952.

Abstract
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) were differentiated into a specific mesoderm subset characterized by KDR+CD56+APLNR+ (KNA+) expression. KNA+ cells had high clonal proliferative potential and specification into endothelial colony-forming cell (ECFCs) phenotype. KNA+ cells differentiated into perfused blood vessels when implanted subcutaneously into the flank of nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient mice and when injected into the vitreous of type 2 diabetic mice (db/db mice). Transcriptomic analysis showed that differentiation of hiPSCs derived from diabetics into KNA+ cells was sufficient to change baseline differences in gene expression caused by the diabetic status and reprogram diabetic cells to a pattern similar to KNA+ cells derived from nondiabetic hiPSCs. Proteomic array studies performed on retinas of db/db mice injected with either control or diabetic donor-derived KNA+ cells showed correction of aberrant signaling in db/db retinas toward normal healthy retina. These data provide "proof of principle" that KNA+ cells restore perfusion and correct vascular dysfunction in db/db mice.

Abstract
Mitochondria in aerobic eukaryotic cells are both the site of energy production and the formation of harmful species, such as radicals and other reactive oxygen species, known as ROS. They contain an efficient antioxidant system, including low-molecular-mass molecules and enzymes that specialize in removing various types of ROS or repairing the oxidative damage of biological molecules. Under normal conditions, ROS production is low, and mitochondria, which are their primary target, are slightly damaged in a similar way to other cellular compartments, since the ROS released by the mitochondria into the cytosol are negligible. As the mitochondrial generation of ROS increases, they can deactivate components of the respiratory chain and enzymes of the Krebs cycle, and mitochondria release a high amount of ROS that damage cellular structures. More recently, the feature of the mitochondrial antioxidant system, which does not specifically deal with intramitochondrial ROS, was discovered. Indeed, the mitochondrial antioxidant system detoxifies exogenous ROS species at the expense of reducing the equivalents generated in mitochondria. Thus, mitochondria are also a sink of ROS. These observations highlight the importance of the mitochondrial antioxidant system, which should be considered in our understanding of ROS-regulated processes. These processes include cell signaling and the progression of metabolic and neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Cytochrome c oxidase (CytOx), the oxygen-accepting and rate-limiting enzyme of mitochondrial respiration, binds with 10 molecules of ADP, 7 of which are exchanged by ATP at high ATP/ADP-ratios. These bound ATP and ADP can be exchanged by cholate, which is generally used for the purification of CytOx. Many crystal structures of isolated CytOx were performed with the enzyme isolated from mitochondria using sodium cholate as a detergent. Cholate, however, dimerizes the enzyme isolated in non-ionic detergents and induces a structural change as evident from a spectral change. Consequently, it turns off the "allosteric ATP-inhibition of CytOx", which is reversibly switched on under relaxed conditions via cAMP-dependent phosphorylation and keeps the membrane potential and ROS formation in mitochondria at low levels. This cholate effect gives an insight into the structural-functional relationship of the enzyme with respect to ATP inhibition and its role in mitochondrial respiration and energy production.

Abstract
Colistin is an antimicrobial agent that is used in resistant gram-negative infections. Its most common dose-limiting adverse effect is nephrotoxicity. The objective of our study was to explore the possible effects of each of taxifolin and dapagliflozin alone and in combination on colistin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Sixty male rats were randomized into six groups: Control; colistin; colistin + taxifolin; colistin + dapagliflozin; colistin + carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and colistin + taxifolin + dapagliflozin. Dapagliflozin, taxifolin, and CMC were given daily for 7 days, 4 hours before colistin injection. Kidney weight/body weight ratio and renal function tests were determined. Renal tissue nerve growth factor-β (NGF-β), transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), proinflammatory cytokines, nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2), toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), oxidative stress parameters, beclin-1 and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) activities were measured. Kidneys were examined histopathologically and immunohistochemically. Taxifolin and/or dapagliflozin induced significant improvement in the renal functions and oxidative stress parameters with significant increase in tissue Nrf2, STAT3 and NGF-β accompanied with significant decrease in kidney weight/body weight ratio, tissue proinflammatory cytokines, TGF-β1, NF-κB (p65), TLR4, beclin-1 and JNK activities and improved the histopathological picture when compared to rats treated with colistin alone. This improvement was significant with taxifolin/dapagliflozin combination compared to rats treated with each of these agents alone. So, we concluded that the combined use of taxifolin and dapagliflozin may confer a therapeutic tool for attenuation of colistin-induced nephrotoxicity.
