TMAO suppressed UPRmt, mitophagy, mitochondrial energetics, and mineralized matrix anabolism. GSK2606144 or nicotinamide riboside counteracted TMAO-induced losses of mRNA expression of UPRmt marker, ATF5, Lonp1, ClpP, Hsp60, and Hsp10 (a) as well as suppression of protein levels of ATF5 and ubiquitinated ATF5 (b) and aggregated Aft5 (c). GSK2606144 or nicotinamide riboside preserved Pink1, Parkin, and LC3-II levels (d) and suppressed TMAO-induced losses of MitoTracker Green-staining of mitochondrial mass and Mitphay Dye/Lyso Dye-staining of mitophagic puncta formation (e); scale bar, 10 μm. GSK2606144 or nicotinamide riboside mitigated TMAO-induced suppression of mitochondrial basal, maximum, ATP-linked oxygen consumption (f), OXPHOS (g), ATP production, proliferation capacity (h), and mineralized matrix synthesis as well as osteogenic marker expression. Data are means ± standard errors calculated from a minimum 3 independent experiments, including immunoblotting. Asterisks (*) stand for significant difference (P < 0.01) analyzed by ANOVA test and post hoc Bonferroni test. GSK, GSK2606414; NR, nicotinamide riboside
