Propionibacterium acnes evades microbicidal phagocytosis by inhibiting the mitochondrial biogenesis of nucleus pulposus cells

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 1, Page 295-317, January 2026.
P. acnes infection impairs the mitochondrial biogenesis of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) through the AMPK/SIRT‐1/PGC‐1α signaling pathway. This results in impaired mitochondria that are unable to generate sufficient ATP, and impaired delivery of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species to carry out the bactericidal process effectively.
