Progress of drug regulation of mitophagy in AS.

Molecule Model Treatment Effects of mitophagy Function Reference
Melatonin VSMC β-GP Levels of LC3-II/I, p-AMPK, p-ULK1, and Beclin1 increased, and levels of p62 decreased It enhances mitophagy and inhibits VSMC calcification, apoptosis, and inflammation (257)
VSMC β-GP Levels of LC3-II/I and p-AMPK increased, and levels of p62 decreased It enhances mitophagy, inhibits apoptosis, and attenuates the osteogenic-like phenotype transition of VSMCs (258)
HUVEC, flap model rat TBHP Levels of LC3B-II, PINK1, Parkin, and p-AMPK increased, and levels of p62 decreased It activates mitophagy and alleviates oxidative stress and apoptosis (227)
RAW264.7, ApoE–/– mice ox-LDL, HFD Levels of LC3-II/I and Parkin increased It activates mitophagy and inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation (259)
Pitavastatin EPC, ApoE–/– mice HFD Levels of LC3B-II, PINK1, and Parkin increased, and levels of p62 decreased It enhances mitophagy, protects EPC proliferation, and promotes vascular re-endothelialization (260)
Vitamin D HUVEC PM2.5 and high glucose Levels of LC3B, BNIP3, and p62 decreased It eliminates oxidative stress, inhibits mitophagy, and protects cells (261)
Dexmedetomidine RAW 264.7 LPS Levels of LC3B-II and PINK1 increased It enhances mitophagy and alleviates apoptosis and inflammation (262)
Liraglutide HUVEC High glucose Levels of LC3B-II, PINK1, and Parkin increased It enhances mitophagy, reduces endothelial dysfunction, and protects ECs (232)
Rivaroxaban and aspirin HCAEC High glucose Levels of Parkin and PINK1 increased It enhances mitophagy, inhibits ROS production, and protects ECs (263)
Coenzyme Q10 HAEC and HUVEC NRTI Levels of LC3II/I decreased It inhibits mitophagy and reduces endothelial dysfunction (264)
RAW264.7 LPS/ATP Levels of LC3II/I, Parkin, Beclin1/Bcl-2, and p62 increased It enhances mitophagy and inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation (265)
