The role of metabolic remodeling in macrophage polarization and its effect on skeletal muscle regeneration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Macrophages are crucial for tissue homeostasis. Based on their activation, they might display classical/M1 or alternative/M2 phenotypes. M1 macrophages produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and nitric oxide (NO).

Targeting the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier for Neuroprotection

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2019
The mitochondrial pyruvate carriers mediate pyruvate import into the mitochondria, which is key to the sustenance of the tricarboxylic cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

Metabolic Characterization and Consequences of Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier Deficiency in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesMetabolites, 2020
In insect, pyruvate is generally the predominant oxidative substrate for mitochondria. This metabolite is transported inside mitochondria via the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), but whether and how this transporter controls mitochondrial oxidative ...

Metabolism within the tumor microenvironment and its implication on cancer progression: an ongoing therapeutic target [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Since reprogramming energy metabolism is considered a new hallmark of cancer, tumor metabolism is again in the spotlight of cancer research. Many studies have been carried out and many possible therapies have been developed in the last years.

Paradoxical neuronal hyperexcitability in a mouse model of mitochondrial pyruvate import deficiency

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Neuronal excitation imposes a high demand of ATP in neurons. Most of the ATP derives primarily from pyruvate-mediated oxidative phosphorylation, a process that relies on import of pyruvate into mitochondria occuring exclusively via the mitochondrial ...

Defining the Substrate Spectrum of the TIM22 Complex Identifies Pyruvate Carrier Subunits as Unconventional Cargos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Mitochondria carrier proteins, which possess six transmembrane spans (TM), are transported by the TIM22 complex. By using a quantitative proteomic approach, Gomkale and Cruz-Zaragoza et al. reveal subunits of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) that

Direct Substrate Delivery into Mitochondrial-Fission Deficient Pancreatic Islets Rescues Insulin Secretion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In pancreatic beta cells, mitochondrial bioenergetics control glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). Mitochondrial dynamics are generally associated with quality control, maintaining the functionality of bioenergetics.

Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier inhibitors improve metabolic parameters in diet-induced obese mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) is an inner mitochondrial membrane complex that plays a critical role in intermediary metabolism. Inhibition of the MPC, especially in liver, may have efficacy for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Regulation of Drosophila Intestinal Stem Cell Proliferation by Enterocyte Mitochondrial Pyruvate Metabolism

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Multiple signaling pathways in the adult Drosophila enterocyte sense cellular damage or stress and signal to intestinal stem cells (ISCs) to undergo proliferation and differentiation, thereby maintaining intestinal homeostasis.

Identification of Novel Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier Inhibitors by Homology Modeling and Pharmacophore-Based Virtual Screening

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2022
The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) is an inner-mitochondrial membrane protein complex that has emerged as a drug target for treating a variety of human conditions.
