Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Mitochondrial CISD1/Cisd accumulation blocks mitophagy and genetic or pharmacological inhibition rescues neurodegenerative phenotypes in Pink1/parkin models

Molecular Neurodegeneration
Background Mitochondrial dysfunction and toxic protein aggregates have been shown to be key features in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD).

The essential role of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase 2 enzyme in thermal homeostasis upon cold stress

Experimental and Molecular Medicine, 2020
Body temperature: Enzyme critical to heat production in muscle When simple sugars in the diet are scarce, skeletal muscle can still generate heat under cold conditions thanks to an enzyme that converts a metabolic byproduct into complex carbohydrates.

Targeted up-regulation of Drp1 in dorsal horn attenuates neuropathic pain hypersensitivity by increasing mitochondrial fission

Redox Biology, 2022
Mitochondria play an essential role in pathophysiology of both inflammatory and neuropathic pain (NP), but the mechanisms are not yet clear. Dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) is broadly expressed in the central nervous system and plays a role in the ...

Pyrroloquinoline quinone increases the expression and activity of Sirt1 and -3 genes in HepG2 cells. [PDF]

, 2015
Sirtuin (Sirt) 1 and Sirt 3 are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ((+))-dependent protein deacetylases that are important to a number of mitochondrial-related functions; thus, identification of sirtuin activators is important. Herein, we hypothesize that

CCT4 promotes tunneling nanotube formation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) are membranous tunnel‐like structures that transport molecules and organelles between cells. They vary in thickness, and thick nanotubes often contain microtubules in addition to actin fibers. We found that cells expressing monomeric CCT4 generate many thick TNTs with tubulin.

Mitochondrial diseases in adults [PDF]

Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020
AbstractMitochondrial medicine is a field that expanded exponentially in the last 30 years. Individually rare, mitochondrial diseases as a whole are probably the most frequent genetic disorder in adults. The complexity of their genotype–phenotype correlation, in terms of penetrance and clinical expressivity, natural history and diagnostic algorithm ...

Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation is stimulated by red light irradiation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Light at different wavelengths has distinct effects on keratinocyte viability and metabolism. UVA light abrogates metabolic fluxes. Blue and green light have no effect on metabolic fluxes, while red light enhanced oxidative phosphorylation by promoting fatty acid oxidation. Keratinocytes are the primary constituents of sunlight‐exposed epidermis.

Efficacy of adeno-associated virus gene therapy in a MNGIE murine model enhanced by chronic exposure to nucleosides

EBioMedicine, 2020
Background: Preclinical studies have shown that gene therapy is a feasible approach to treat mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE).

Visualizing mitochondrial FoF1-ATP synthase as the target of the immunomodulatory drug Bz-423

, 2018
Targeting the mitochondrial enzyme FoF1-ATP synthase and modulating its catalytic activities with small molecules is a promising new approach for treatment of autoimmune diseases. The immuno-modulatory compound Bz-423 is such a drug that binds to subunit
