Signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 localizes to the mitochondria and modulates mitophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins are latent transcription factors that have been shown to be involved in cell proliferation, development, apoptosis, and autophagy. STAT proteins undergo activation by phosphorylation at

Depletion of RIPK3 or MLKL blocks TNF-driven necroptosis and switches towards a delayed RIPK1 kinase-dependent apoptosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In human cells, the RIPK1-RIPK3-MLKL-PGAM5-Drp1 axis drives tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced necroptosis through mitochondrial fission, but whether this pathway is conserved among mammals is not known. To answer this question, we analyzed the presence

Mitophagy in neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]

open access: yesNeurochemistry International, 2018
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Huntington's disease (HD), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), are a complex "family" of pathologies, characterised by the progressive loss of neurons and/or neuronal functions, leading to severe physical and cognitive inabilities in affected patients.

What is the function of mitochondrial networks? A theoretical assessment of hypotheses and proposal for future research [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Mitochondria can change their shape from discrete isolated organelles to a large continuous reticulum. The cellular advantages underlying these fused networks are still incompletely understood.

The mitophagy pathway and its implications in human diseases

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles with multiple functions. They participate in necrotic cell death and programmed apoptotic, and are crucial for cell metabolism and survival.

TSPO interacts with VDAC1 and triggers a ROS-mediated inhibition of mitochondrial quality control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The 18-kDa TSPO (translocator protein) localizes on the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and participates in cholesterol transport. Here, we report that TSPO inhibits mitochondrial autophagy downstream of the PINK1-PARK2 pathway, preventing essential ...

Exploring mitophagy levels in Drosophila Malpighian tubules unveils the pivotal role of mitophagy in kidney function and diabetic kidney disease

open access: yesExperimental and Molecular Medicine
Mitophagy has been implicated in kidney function and related diseases. However, a direct analysis of mitophagy in kidney models, including disease models, remains notably lacking.

Evaluating mitophagy in embryonic stem cells by using fluorescence-based imaging

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which are characterized by the capacity for self-renewal and pluripotency, hold great promise for regenerative medicine. Increasing evidence points to the essential role of mitophagy in pluripotency regulation.

Drosophila Parkin requires PINK1 for mitochondrial translocation and ubiquitinates Mitofusin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Loss of the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin causes early onset Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology. Parkin has been linked to multiple cellular processes including protein degradation, mitochondrial homeostasis, and autophagy;

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.
