Highlights 1. CuONPs disturb mitochondrial dynamics and trigger mitophagy in vascular endothelial cells and mouse blood vessel. 2. PINK1/TAX1BP1-mediated mitophagy regulates the removal of excessive ROS and aberrant mitochondria in CuONPs-treated vascular endothelial cells. 3. The mitophagy activator urolithin A attenuates CuONPs-induced vascular endothelial cells death and mice vascular injury.
