Metabolic consequences of neuronal mitochondrial fission ablation [PDF]

, 2016
Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), the main mammalian mediator of mitochondrial fission, has an especially important role in neuronal development, such that its deletion gives rise to pre- or perinatal lethality.

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

A study of mitochondrial biogenesis in the rodent nervous system

, 2015
This thesis investigates the process of mitochondrial biogenesis in the rodent CNS in the context of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disease. There is mounting evidence of mitochondrial damage in neuroinflammation but very little is known about ...

Blood‐based proteomic profiling reveals context‐dependent changes in BCL2‐associated signaling during taxane therapy in breast cancer patients

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy side effects significantly impact cancer survivors' quality of life. Using protein levels in blood samples from breast cancer patients before and after 12 weeks of taxane treatment, we detected treatment‐dependent changes in calcium signaling and aging pathways associated with cancer recurrence.

Elevated peripheral inflammation is associated with choroid plexus enlargement in independent sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cohorts

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS
Background Using neuroimaging techniques, growing evidence has suggested that the choroid plexus (CP) volume is enlarged in multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Structural and functional studies of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I)

, 2010
NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) is the largest and most complicated enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transfer chain. It catalyses the oxidation of NADH and the reduction of ubiquinone, coupled to the translocation of protons across the ...

Long‐term hippocampal alterations and cognitive impairment in a murine model of surgical sepsis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a mouse model of surgical sepsis, we tested long‐term memory and analyzed the transcriptome of single cells isolated from the hippocampus. Survivor mice showed worse memory, loss of certain brain cell subpopulations, and abnormal immune cell activity—suggesting that post‐sepsis brain alterations may be linked to cognitive deficits.

Growth differentiation factor 15: a valuable biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of late-onset form of multiple Acyl-CoA dehydrogenation deficiency

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Multiple acyl-CoA Dehydrogenation Deficiency (MADD) is a hereditary metabolic disorder affecting the metabolism of fatty acids, amino acids, and choline, typically presenting with fat accumulation and mitochondrial abnormalities in muscle ...

Use of Idebenone for the Treatment of Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy

Journal of Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Screening, 2017
Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is one of the most frequent mitochondrial disorders. It is caused by mutations in genes of the mitochondrial DNA coding for subunits of the respiratory chain and leads to severe bilateral vision loss, from which

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.
