Research advances in mitochondrial biogenesis and ischemic stroke
Ischemic stroke has become the leading cause of mortality and disability among adults in China.After ce-rebral ischemia,various pathological and physiological pathways,including the increase in oxygen free radicals,inflam-matory response,calcium overload,and energy metabolism disorders,can disrupt cellular homeostasis,cause mitochon-drial dysfunction,and finally lead to cell apoptosis.By generating new functional mitochondria to replace damaged ones and restoring mitochondrial function,mitochondrial biogenesis(MB)is the primary mechanism for maintaining mitochon-drial homeostasis and plays a crucial role in mitochondrial quality control.In recent years,with the in-depth research on the mechanisms of ischemic stroke injury,MB has emerged as a potential therapeutic target.This article reviews the re-search advances in the role and mechanisms of MB in cerebral ischemic injury,in order to provide a theoretical reference for neuroprotective treatment in ischemic stroke.
