Apoptotic cells may release specific metabolites to act as messengers during the apoptotic process. This study represents the first attempt to identify potential apoptotic metabolites in postmortem muscle. Ninety potential apoptotic metabolites in beef were selected and analyzed through targeted metabolomics, with 84 of them exhibiting significant differences over the postmortem time. Following the addition of the mitochondria-targeted antiapoptotic agent mitoquinone to postmortem muscle, metabolomic analysis revealed that 73 apoptotic metabolites still underwent significant changes, even against the backdrop of altered apoptosis. Of these 73 apoptotic metabolites, 54 exhibited similar trends at various treatment times with adding mitoquinone, including lipids (6), amino acids (27), nucleosides (11), and carbohydrate and energy metabolism (10). Mitoquinone significantly reduced the levels of most apoptotic metabolites, and inhibition of apoptosis resulted in a significant decrease in the levels of numerous apoptotic metabolites. Consequently, these apoptotic metabolites are considered complementary to apoptosis in postmortem muscle, with their increased levels potentially promoting apoptosis. Noteworthy apoptotic metabolites, such as glycerol 3-phosphate, serine, AMP, ATP, GMP, and creatine, were identified as active signaling molecules that attract and recruit phagocytes during apoptosis, assisting in recognizing apoptotic cells by phagocytes. This study provides, for the first time, insights into potential apoptotic metabolites in postmortem muscle, contributing to a better understanding of meat biochemistry.

Using copper-ionophores to translocate extracellular copper into mitochondria is a clinically validated anticancer strategy that has been identified as a new type of regulated cell death termed “cuproptosis.” This study reports a mitochondria-targeting Cu(I) complex, Cu(I)Br(PPh (CBP), consisting of a cuprous ion coordinated by three triphenylphosphine moieties and a Br atom. CBP exhibited antitumor and antimetastatic efficacy in vitro and in vivo by specifically targeting mitochondria instigating mitochondrial dysfunction. The cytotoxicity of CBP could only be reversed by a copper chelator rather than inhibitors of the known cell death, indicating copper-dependent cytotoxicity. Furthermore, CBP induced the oligomerization of lipoylated proteins and the loss of Fe–S cluster proteins, consistent with characteristic features of cuproptosis. Additionally, CBP induced remarkable intracellular generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through a Fenton-like reaction, indicating a complex antitumor mechanism. This is a proof-of-concept study exploiting the antitumor activity and mechanism of the Cu(I)-based mitochondria-targeting therapy.
