Mitochondrial DNA in Sepsis [PDF]
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2017 Purpose of review Our understanding of critical illness is transforming as we develop a better understanding of the impact pathogen-associated molecular patterns and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) have on the pathogenesis of disease. Of the known DAMPs, there is a growing interest in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as a

Molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA release and activation of the cGAS-STING pathway
Experimental and Molecular Medicine, 2023 Inflammatory diseases: Understanding mitochondrial DNA release Cytosolic DNA activates the cGAS-STING pathway which mediates inflammation and antiviral response. One source of cytosolic DNA is ‘self ‘ DNA, such as mitochondrial DNA.

Regional differences in mitochondrial DNA methylation in human post-mortem brain tissue
Clinical Epigenetics, 2017 Background DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism involved in gene regulation, with alterations in DNA methylation in the nuclear genome being linked to numerous complex diseases.

Analysis of Nuclear Mitochondrial DNA Segments of Nine Plant Species: Size, Distribution, and Insertion Loci [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2016 Nuclear mitochondrial DNA segment (Numt) insertion describes a well-known phenomenon of mitochondrial DNA transfer into a eukaryotic nuclear genome. However, it has not been well understood, especially in plants. Numt insertion patterns vary from species

Neuropathic Pain as Main Manifestation of POLG-Related Disease: A Case Report
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 Mutations in nuclear-encoded genes that are involved in mitochondrial DNA replication and maintenance (e.g., POLG) have been associated with chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) phenotype.

DNA Damage and Base Excision Repair in Mitochondria and Their Role in Aging
Journal of Aging Research, 2011 During the last decades, our knowledge about the processes involved in the aging process has exponentially increased. However, further investigation will be still required to globally understand the complexity of aging.

Royal Society Open Science, 2021 After initial detection of target archival DNA of a 116-year-old syntype specimen of the smooth lantern shark, Etmopterus pusillus, in a single-stranded DNA library, we shotgun-sequenced additional 9 million reads from this same DNA library.

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2017 Plants possess mitochondrial genomes that are large and complex compared to animals. Nearly all animal mitochondrial genomes are about 16.5. kbp in length, whereas plant mitochondrial genomes range between 200-2,000 kbp. This is curious if we assume modern mitochondria originated from a common alpha-proteobacterial ancestor.

A rapid and efficient method for enriching mitochondrial DNA from plants
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2018 Current mitochondrial purification techniques are tedious and protracted due to their emphasis on recovering physiologically active mitochondria. However, for studies that are exclusively interested in isolating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) for applications

DNA-PKcs promotes sepsis-induced multiple organ failure by triggering mitochondrial dysfunction
Journal of Advanced Research, 2022 Introduction: Multiple organ failure is the commonest cause of death in septic patients. Objectives: This study was undertaken in an attempt to elucidate the functional importance of DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) on ...
