Inter- and intracellular mitochondrial communication: signaling hubs in aging and age-related diseases

Abstract Mitochondria are versatile and complex organelles that can continuously communicate and interact with the cellular milieu. Deregulated communication between mitochondria and host cells/organelles has significant consequences and is an underlying factor of many pathophysiological conditions,...

description Abstract Mitochondria are versatile and complex organelles that can continuously communicate and interact with the cellular milieu. Deregulated communication between mitochondria and host cells/organelles has significant consequences and is an underlying factor of many pathophysiological conditions, including the process of aging. During aging, mitochondria lose function, and mitocellular communication pathways break down; mitochondrial dysfunction interacts with mitochondrial dyscommunication, forming a vicious circle. Therefore, strategies to protect mitochondrial function and promote effective communication of mitochondria can increase healthy lifespan and longevity, which might be a new treatment paradigm for age-related disorders. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the signal transduction mechanisms of inter- and intracellular mitochondrial communication, as well as the interactions between mitochondrial communication and the hallmarks of aging. This review emphasizes the indispensable position of inter- and intracellular mitochondrial communication in the aging process of organisms, which is crucial as the cellular signaling hubs. In addition, we also specifically focus on the status of mitochondria-targeted interventions to provide potential therapeutic targets for age-related diseases. Graphical Abstract
