Sphingosine kinase 2 activates autophagy and protects neurons against ischemic injury through interaction with Bcl-2 via its putative BH3 domain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Our previous findings suggest that sphingosine kinase 2 (SPK2) mediates ischemic tolerance and autophagy in cerebral preconditioning. The aim of this study was to determine by which mechanism SPK2 activates autophagy in neural cells.

Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Pancreatic β Cell Function: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets for Diabetes

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
This review highlights mitochondrial dysfunction as a central driver of pancreatic β cell failure in diabetes, caused by disrupted mitochondrial quality control (MQC), oxidative stress, and impaired organelle communication. Emerging therapies, such as DRAK2 inhibitors and metabolic reprogramming agents, show promise in restoring β cell function by ...

Representative flow cytometric plots (FACS) showing that AMSCs expressed HLA-ABC, CD44, CD90, CD29, CD73, and CD105 markers, and did not express HLA-DR, CD45, CD14 or CD34 markers.

FAM162A Is a Key Regulator of Mitochondrial Structure, Dynamics, and Bioenergetics, Driving Cellular Protection and Longevity

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.
FAM162A, localized within mitochondrial cristae, emerges as a novel regulator of mitochondrial dynamics. It post‐translationally modulates OPA1, maintaining cristae structure and boosting cellular bioenergetics. This key interaction enhances cell viability, stress resistance, and overall organismal health.

Mitochondrial BNIP3 upregulation precedes endonuclease G translocation in hippocampal neuronal death following oxygen-glucose deprivation

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2009
Background Caspase-independent apoptotic pathways are suggested as a mechanism for the delayed neuronal death following ischemic insult. However, the underlying signalling mechanisms are largely unknown.

Genome-wide expression patterns associated with oncogenesis and sarcomatous transdifferentation of cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background The molecular mechanisms of CC (cholangiocarcinoma) oncogenesis and progression are poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the genome-wide expression of genes related to CC oncogenesis and sarcomatous transdifferentiation.

Mitochondrial autophagy: Origins, significance, and role of BNIP3 and NIX

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2015
Mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) is a core cellular activity. In this review, we consider mitophagy and related cellular processes and discuss their significance for human disease. Strong parallels exist between mitophagy and xenophagy employed in host defense. These mechanisms converge on receptors in the innate immune system in clinically relevant

BNIP3‐Dependent Mitophagy Non‐Autonomously Regulates Systemic Aging via NF‐κB Suppression in Drosophila

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 5, May 2026.
Muscle aging is characterized by alterations in mitochondrial morphology and structure, leading to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This increase in ROS activates Key/Relish‐mediated inflammatory pathways, resulting in the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that further accelerate aging.

Mitophagy‐Oxidative Stress Molecular Subtypes Define an Immunosuppressive Ecosystem and Vulnerabilities in Glioblastoma

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumour with an immunosuppressive environment and poor prognosis; however, the roles of mitophagy and oxidative stress in its prognosis remain underexplored. This study analysed multi‐omics data from TCGA‐GBM (n = 168) and two GEO cohorts (GSE43378, n = 50; GSE147352, n = 85), compiling 603 mitophagy ...
