In wound healing, low concentrations of IDH2 reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential in combating invading microorganisms and in cell-survival signaling. Mitochondria However, excessive ROS production impairs fibroblasts. Mitochondrial NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehy- Mito-TEMPO drogenase (IDH2) is a key enzyme that regulates the mitochondrial redox balance and reduces oxidative stress- induced cell injury through the generation of NADPH. In the present study, the downregulation of IDH2 ex- pression resulted in an increase in cell apoptosis in mouse skin through ROS-dependent ATM-mediated p53 signaling. IDH2 deficiency also delayed cutaneous wound healing in mice and impaired dermal fibroblast function. Furthermore, pretreatment with the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant mito-TEMPO alleviated the apoptosis induced by IDH2 deficiency both in vitro and in vivo. Together, our findings highlight the role of IDH2 in cutaneous wound healing in association with mitochondrial ROS. 1.
