Abstract
Myricetin has been demonstrated to have multiple biological functions with promising research and development prospects. This study investigated the effect of myricetin on liver mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pores and its inhibitory potential on proteins that are important in the apoptotic process in silico. Mitochondrial swelling was assessed as changes in absorbance under succinate-energized conditions. Cytochrome c release, mitochondrial-lipid peroxidation, caspase 3 and 9 expressions, as well as calcium ATPase, were assessed. Pharmacokinetic properties of myricetin were predicted through the SwissADME server while the binding affinity of myricetin toward the proteins was computed using the AutodockVina Screening tool. The conformational stability of protein-ligand interactions was evaluated using molecular dynamics simulations analysis through the iMODS server. Myricetin inhibited the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and also reversed the increase in mitochondrial lipid peroxidation caused by calcium and other toxicants. Myricetin also caused a reduction in the expression of caspase 3 and 9 as well as calcium ATPase activity. The molecular docking results revealed that myricetin had a considerable binding affinity to the pocket site of caspase 3 and 9 as well as calcium ATPase. Myricetin showed a good drug-likeness based on the predicted pharmacokinetic properties as revealed by low CYP 450 inhibitory promiscuity and relatively low toxicity. It could therefore be suggested that myricetin could be useful in the management of diseases where too many apoptosis occur characterized by excessive tissue wastage such as neurodegenerative conditions and could as well play a role in protecting the physicochemical properties of membrane bilayers from free radical-induced severe cellular damage.

Abstract
Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a biopolymer composed of phosphoanhydride-linked orthophosphate molecules. PolyP is engaged in a variety of cellular functions, including mitochondrial metabolism. Here, we examined the effects of polyP on electron transport chain enzymes and F1 Fo ATP synthase in tick embryos during embryonic development. The study found that polyPs containing medium and long chains (polyP15 and polyP65 ) enhanced the activity of complex I, complex II, complex III, and F1 Fo ATP synthase, while short polyP chains (polyP3 ) had no effect. The study also examined the activity of exopolyphosphatases (PPX) in various energy-demand situations. PPX activity was stimulated when ADP concentrations are high, characterizing a low-energy context. When complexes I-III and F1 Fo ATP synthase inhibitors were added in energized mitochondria, PPX activity decreased, whereas the mitochondrial uncoupler FCCP had no impact on PPX activity. Additionally, the study investigated the effect of polyP on mitochondrial swelling, finding that polyP causes mitochondrial swelling by increasing calcium effects on the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. The findings presented here to increase our understanding of the function of polyP in mitochondrial metabolism and its relationship to mitochondrial permeability transition pore opening in an arthropod model.

Abstract
Many studies of Ca2+ effects on mitochondrial respiration in intact cells have used electrical and/or chemical stimulation to elevate intracellular [Ca2+], and have reported increases in [NADH] and increased ADP/ATP ratios as dominant controllers of respiration. This study tested a different form of stimulation: brief temperature increases produced by pulses of infrared light (IR, 1,863 nm, 8-10°C for ∼5 s). Fluorescence imaging techniques applied to single PC-12 cells in low µM extracellular [Ca2+] revealed IR stimulation-induced increases in both cytosolic (fluo5F) and mitochondrial (rhod2) [Ca2+]. IR stimulation increased O2 consumption (porphyrin fluorescence), and produced an alkaline shift in mitochondrial matrix pH (Snarf1), indicating activation of the electron transport chain (ETC). The increase in O2 consumption persisted in oligomycin, and began during a decrease in NADH, suggesting that the initial increase in ETC activity was not driven by increased ATP synthase activity or an increased fuel supply to ETC complex I. Imaging with two potentiometric dyes [tetramethyl rhodamine methyl ester (TMRM) and R123] indicated a depolarizing shift in ΔΨm that persisted in high [K+] medium. High-resolution fluorescence imaging disclosed large, reversible mitochondrial depolarizations that were inhibited by cyclosporin A (CSA), consistent with the opening of transient mitochondrial permeability transition pores. IR stimulation also produced a Ca2+-dependent increase in superoxide production (MitoSox) that was not inhibited by CSA, indicating that the increase in superoxide did not require transition pore opening. Thus, the intracellular Ca2+ release that follows pulses of infrared light offers new insights into Ca2+-dependent processes controlling respiration and reactive oxygen species in intact cells.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Pulses of infrared light (IR) provide a novel method for rapidly transferring Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria in intact cells. In PC12 cells the resulting ETC activation was not driven by increased ATP synthase activity or NADH. IR stimulation produced a Ca2+-dependent, reversible depolarization of ΔΨm that was partially blocked by cyclosporin A, and a Ca2+-dependent increase in superoxide that did not require transition pore opening.

Abstract
The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mtPTP) plays a vital role in altering the structure and function of mitochondria. Cyclophilin D (CypD) is a mitochondrial protein that regulates mtPTP function and a known drug target for therapeutic studies involving mitochondria. While the effect of aromatase inhibition on the mtPTP has been studied previously, the effect of anastrozole on the mtPTP has not been completely elucidated. The role of anastrozole in modulating the mtPTP was evaluated by docking, molecular dynamics and network-guided studies using human CypD data. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with mitochondrial disorders and healthy controls were treated with anastrozole and evaluated for mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mtPTP) function and apoptosis using a flow cytometer. Spectrophotometry was employed for estimating total ATP levels. The anastrozole-CypD complex is more stable than cyclosporin A (CsA)-CypD. Anastrozole performed better than cyclosporine in inhibiting mtPTP. Additional effects included inducing mitochondrial membrane depolarization and a reduction in mitochondrial swelling and superoxide generation, intrinsic caspase-3 activity and cellular apoptosis, along with an increase in ATP levels. Anastrozole may serve as a potential therapeutic agent for mitochondrial disorders and ameliorate the clinical phenotype by regulating the activity of mtPTP. However, further studies are required to substantiate our preliminary findings.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.
