Metformin promotes mitochondrial integrity through AMPK‐signaling in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Metformin mediates mitochondrial quality control in Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) fibroblasts carrying mtDNA mutations. At therapeutic levels, metformin activates AMPK signaling to restore mitochondrial dynamics by promoting fusion and restraining fission, while preserving mitochondrial mass, enhancing autophagy/mitophagy and biogenesis ...

Mitochondrial mass and mitochondrial membrane potential of peripheral lymphocytes: promising biomarkers of systemic lupus erythematosus

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences
BackgroundMitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Single-cell mitochondrial mass (SCMM), low mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP-Low) in lymphocytes, and circulating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ...

Evaluation of in vitro toxicity of common phytochemicals included in weight loss supplements using 1H NMR spectroscopy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We investigated the toxicity of 12 active compounds commonly found in herbal weight loss supplements (WLS) using human liver and colon cell models. Epigallocatechin‐3‐gallate was the only compound showing significant toxicity. Metabolic profiling revealed protein degradation, disrupted energy and lipid metabolism suggesting that the inclusion of EGCG ...

Mitochondrial alterations in PINK1 deficient cells are influenced by calcineurin-dependent dephosphorylation of dynamin-related protein 1.

PLoS ONE, 2009
PTEN-induced novel kinase 1 (PINK1) mutations are associated with autosomal recessive parkinsonism. Previous studies have shown that PINK1 influences both mitochondrial function and morphology although it is not clearly established which of these are ...

Electrical homeostasis of the inner mitochondrial membrane potential

Physical Biology
Abstract The electric potential across the inner mitochondrial membrane must be maintained within certain bounds for the proper functioning of the cell. A feedback control mechanism for the homeostasis of this membrane potential is proposed whereby an increase in the electric field decreases the rate-limiting steps of the electron ...

Synaptosomal plasma and mitochondrial membrane potentials during anoxia

Neuroscience Letters, 1992
The precise mechanism by which altered oxidative metabolism impairs neuronal function is unknown. Previous indirect studies suggest that anoxia's effects on the mitochondrial membrane potentials may underlie anoxia's actions. Twenty minutes of anoxia reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential of intact synaptosomes by 38-59 mV, but diminished the ...

The role of lipid metabolism in neuronal senescence

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Disrupted lipid metabolism, through alterations in lipid species or lipid droplet accumulation, can drive neuronal senescence. However, lipid dyshomeostasis can also occur alongside neuronal senescence, further amplifying tissue damage. Delineating how lipid‐induced senescence emerges in neurons and glial cells, and how it contributes to ageing and ...

Microglial dynamics and ferroptosis induction in human iPSC‐derived neuron–astrocyte–microglia tri‐cultures

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A tri‐culture of iPSC‐derived neurons, astrocytes, and microglia treated with ferroptosis inducers as an Induced ferroptosis model was characterized by scRNA‐seq, cell survival, and cytokine release assays. This analysis revealed diverse microglial transcriptomic changes, indicating that the system captures key aspects of the complex cellular ...

Ellagic acid attenuates arsenic induced neuro-inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction associated apoptosis

Toxicology Reports, 2018
Arsenic, being a global pollutant needs a potential remedy which could fight against its associated toxicities. Ellagic acid (EA) is a known agent for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antiapoptotic effects, and it is commonly found in fruits.
