Abstract

Mitonuclear imbalance and UPRmt (mitochondrial Unfolded Protein Response) are cellular phenomena activated under stress conditions and involving mitochondrial metabolism. These responses are largely related to mitochondrial biogenesis, improved mitochondrial function and cell metabolism, and increased longevity in several organisms. Mitonuclear imbalance is characterized by the alteration of the stoichiometric equilibrium between proteins encoded by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and nuclear DNA (nDNA). This imbalance stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis via the PGC-1/NRF-1/ TFAM pathway. The second (UPRmt), is characterized as a stress-adaptive response that stimulates chaperones (HSPs) and mitochondrial proteases, in order to ensure the integrity and functionality of mitochondria. In this sense, the unleashing of mitonuclear imbalance and UPRmt became an important mechanism for the induction of mitochondrial biogenesis and an improvement in the function of this organelle. Some studies suggest that the activation of mitonuclear imbalance and UPRmt is initiated from stress-sensitive cytoplasmic proteins, especially JNK and PKR. Therefore, we hypothesize that physical exercise can trigger mitral and UPRmt imbalance in the skeletal muscle through the activation of JNK and / or PKR, stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis and improving mitochondrial function. The realization of the current project could open new perspectives in the understanding of the improvement of the oxidative capacity of the skeletal muscles induced by the physical exercise. (AU)
