MitoScape: A big-data, machine-learning platform for obtaining mitochondrial DNA from next-generation sequencing data.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2021
The growing number of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data presents a unique opportunity to study the combined impact of mitochondrial and nuclear-encoded genetic variation in complex disease.

Mitochondrial DNA and ageing

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2006
The accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations has been proposed as a potential mechanism in the physiological processes of ageing and age-related disease. Although mitochondria have long been anticipated as a perpetrator of ageing, there was little experimental evidence to link these changes directly with the cellular pathology of ageing.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Commentary of "The Use of Mitochondrial Replacement in IVF: A Call for Expansion"

open access: yesVoices in Bioethics, 2014
by Lillian Ringel • Briana’s op-ed calling for expansion of mitochondrial DNA replacement in IVF was an interesting read.  She starts her op-ed with a description of what mitochondrial DNA is, and though it may seem rudimentary to some, since I have a

Ribonucleotides in mitochondrial DNA [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2019
The incorporation of ribonucleotides (rNMPs) into DNA during genome replication has gained substantial attention in recent years and has been shown to be a significant source of genomic instability. Studies in yeast and mammals have shown that the two genomes, the nuclear DNA (nDNA) and the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), differ with regard to their rNMP ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Plasma Mitochondrial DNA Level is a Prognostic Marker in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

open access: yesKidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2016
Background/Aims: Circulating bacterial DNA fragment is related to systemic inflammatory state in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. We hypothesize that circulating mitochondrial DNA, which has a similar structure with bacterial DNA, correlates with ...

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Mitochondrial DNA in osteoarthritis disease [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Rheumatology, 2020
[Abstract] Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent chronic joint disease, and we actually know that the activation of maladaptive responses to injury, including pro-inflammatory pathways, leads to the loss of normal joint function characterized by cartilage degradation, bone remodeling, osteophyte formation, and joint inflammation [1].
