Reactive Oxygen Species-Mediated Control of Mitochondrial Biogenesis

Abstract EN

Mitochondrial biogenesis is a complex process.

It necessitates the contribution of both the nuclear and the mitochondrial genomes and therefore crosstalk between the nucleus and mitochondria.

It is now well established that cellular mitochondrial content can vary according to a number of stimuli and physiological states in eukaryotes.

The knowledge of the actors and signals regulating the mitochondrial biogenesis is thus of high importance.

The cellular redox state has been considered for a long time as a key element in the regulation of various processes.

In this paper, we report the involvement of the oxidative stress in the regulation of some actors of mitochondrial biogenesis.
