Fig. 1

Mitochondria contain DAMPs that can be exposed upon mitochondrial stress and damage. These DAMPs include succinate, N-formyl peptides, dsRNA, mtDNA, ROS, cardiolipin, and ATP. Loss or exposure of these DAMPs activates several immune pathways including transcription of type I interferons and NF-κB target genes, inflammasome activation, and the recruitment of immune cells.
