Rate-limiting Step Preceding Cytochrome c Release in Cells Primed for Fas-mediated Apoptosis Revealed by Analysis of Cellular Mosaicism of Respiratory Changes [PDF]
In the present work, Jurkat cells undergoing anti-Fas antibody (anti-Fas)-triggered apoptosis exhibited in increasing proportion a massive release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, as revealed by double-labeling confocal immunofluorescence microscopy ...

Effects of Cannabidiol on TAFAZZIN‐Deficient B‐Lymphoblastoid Cells
Deficiency of the cardiolipin remodeling enzyme TAFAZZIN causes Barth syndrome (BTHS), resulting in cardiolipin loss, monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) accumulation, and electron transport chain (ETC) abnormalities in B‐lymphoblastoid cells. Effects of the non‐psychotropic phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) were examined on B‐lymphoblastoid cells from ...

Heat shock protein 60 in vascular biology [PDF]
The response of heat shock proteins (HSPs) to stress-induced stimuli is now well documented and understood. Specific HSPs like HSP70 play an important role in vascular diseases like atherosclerosis and hypertension. However, the involvement of other HSPs

Mitochondrial Outer Membrane Permeability Change and Hypersensitivity to Digitonin Early in Staurosporine-induced Apoptosis [PDF]
We have shown here that the apoptosis inducer staurosporine causes an early decrease in the endogenous respiration rate in intact 143B.TK- cells. On the other hand, the activity of cytochrome c oxidase is unchanged for the first 8 h after staurosporine ...

A mitochondrial import receptor for the ADP/ATP carrier [PDF]
We have identified a mitochondrial outer membrane protein of 72 kd (MOM72) that exhibits the properties of an import receptor for the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC), the most abundant mitochondrial protein.

Antifolding activity of hsp60 couples protein import into the mitochondrial matrix with export to the intermembrane space [PDF]
Cytochrome b2 reaches the intermembrane space of mitochondria by transport into the matrix followed by export across the inner membrane. While in the matrix, the protein interacts with hsp60, which arrests its folding prior to export.

Elongated Flexuous Plant Virus-Derived Nanoparticles Functionalized for Autoantibody Detection
Nanoparticles derived from the elongated flexuous capsids of Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) have been shown to be efficient tools for antibody sensing with a very high sensitivity if adequately functionalized with the corresponding epitopes. Taking advantage

HSP60 activity on human bronchial epithelial cells [PDF]
HSP60 has been implicated in chronic inflammatory disease pathogenesis, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the mechanisms by which this chaperonin would act are poorly understood.

Relationships Among Beef Cow Productivity Traits and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Bovine Heat Shock Protein 70 Gene [PDF]
When eukaryotes are exposed to stressors such as heat, toxins, and low oxygen levels, heat shock proteins (HSPs) are synthesized to maintain normal cellular function within the body.

Alterations in the mitochondrial proteome of neuroblastoma cells 2 in response to complex 1 inhibition [PDF]
Increasing evidence points to mitochondrial dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) associated with complex I dysfunction, but the exact pathways which lead to cell death have not been resolved.
