Implication

Narrative review demonstrates cardiolipin regulation of bioenergetics and membrane stability in eukaryotic cells, suggesting pharmacological interventions can attenuate mitochondrial dysfunction.

Key Points

Review the molecular mechanisms by which cardiolipin governs mitochondrial bioenergetics and dynamics, and evaluate pharmacological strategies targeting cardiolipin to mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction.
Synthesized molecular evidence on cardiolipin synthesis, inner mitochondrial membrane localization, and structural interactions with electron transport chain supercomplexes.
Assessed pathological mechanisms involving cardiolipin deficiency, altered acyl-chain composition, and peroxidation across various disease models alongside targeted therapeutic agents.
Cardiolipin is required for the supramolecular assembly and optimal enzymatic activity of respiratory chain complexes, membrane morphology, protein import, mitophagy, and apoptotic cascades.
Pathological reductions in cardiolipin quantity, abnormal fatty acid remodeling, or increased oxidation impair mitochondrial dynamics and ATP production, but targeted pharmacological modulation can preserve or restore organelle function.
