| Popis: | Mitophagy is an autophagic process through which damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria are specifically degraded to maintain cellular homeostasis. It is highly regulated by various signaling pathways such as the PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin and NIP3-like protein X (NIX)/BNIP3 pathways. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in inducing some pathological processes. Notably, some evidence suggesting the association of mitophagy with the occurrence of chronic diseases such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), cancer, diabetes, atherosclerosis (AS), and myocardial ischemia reperfusion (MIR) injury is available. Particularly, it has been reported that mitophagy could hinder the development of PD by activating the PINK1/Parkin pathway and acting as a defense mechanism against the induction of diabetes. Conversely, the induction of mitophagy plays dual roles in driving the process of cancer, AS, and MIR injury. In this review, we have explained the role and regulatory mechanisms through which mitophagy plays a role in these chronic pathologies. Importantly, the pharmacological targeting of mitophagy might prove to be a potential alternative for the treatment of these chronic diseases. |
