High glucose-induced p66Shc mitochondrial translocation regulates autophagy initiation and autophagosome formation in syncytiotrophoblast and extravillous trophoblast by Lulu Ji, Xiaoli Zhang, Zhiguo Chen, Yuexiao Wang, Hengxuan Zhu, Yaru Nai, Yanyi Huang, Rujie Lai, Yu Zhong, Xiting Yang, Qiongtao Wang, Hanyang Hu, Lin Wang

“…Results High glucose induces the expression and mitochondrial translocation of p66Shc, which promotes MAMs formation and stimulates PINK1-PRKN-mediated mitophagy. Moreover, mitochondrial localized p66Shc reduces MMP and triggers cytosolic mtDNA release, thus activates cGAS/STING signaling and ultimately leads to enhanced autophagy and cellular senescence. …”
