Mitochondrial membrane hyperpolarization modulates nuclear DNA methylation and gene expression through phospholipid remodeling.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Maintenance of the mitochondrial inner membrane potential (ΔΨm) is critical for many aspects of mitochondrial function. While ΔΨm loss and its consequences are well studied, little is known about the effects of mitochondrial hyperpolarization. In this study, we used cells deleted of ATP5IF1 (IF1), a natural inhibitor of the hydrolytic activity of the ATP synthase, as a genetic model of increased resting ΔΨm. We found that the nuclear DNA hypermethylates when the ΔΨm is chronically high, regulating the transcription of mitochondrial, carbohydrate and lipid genes. These effects can be reversed by decreasing the ΔΨm and recapitulated in wild-type (WT) cells exposed to environmental chemicals that cause hyperpolarization. Surprisingly, phospholipid changes, but not redox or metabolic alterations, linked the ΔΨm to the epigenome. Sorted hyperpolarized WT and ovarian cancer cells naturally depleted of IF1 also showed phospholipid remodeling, indicating this as an adaptation to mitochondrial hyperpolarization. These data provide a new framework for how mitochondria can impact epigenetics and cellular biology to influence health outcomes, including through chemical exposures and in disease states.
