Mammalian mitophagy – from in vitro molecules to in vivo models [PDF]
The autophagic turnover of mitochondria, termed mitophagy, is thought to play an essential role in not only maintaining the health of the mitochondrial network, but also that of the cell and organism as a whole. We have come a long way in identifying the

Prx1/PHB2 axis mediates mitophagy in oral leukoplakia cellular senescence
Oral leukoplakia (OLK) is the most common oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD), which can be malignantly transformed into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Peroxiredoxin1(Prx1) has been predicted to bind to Prohibitin2 (PHB2), which confers to affect OLK progression; however, the mechanism of Prx1/PHB2 mediated mitophagy involved in OLK ...

Background Prohibitin 2 (PHB2) exhibits opposite functions of promoting or inhibiting tumour across various cancer types. In this study, we aim to investigate its functions and underlying mechanisms in the context of gastric cancer (GC).

Development of the ReaxFF Reactive Force Field for Describing Transition Metal Catalyzed Reactions, with Application to the Initial Stages of the Catalytic Formation of Carbon Nanotubes [PDF]
With the aim of developing a computationally inexpensive method for modeling the high-temperature reaction dynamics of transition metal catalyzed reactions we have developed a ReaxFF reactive force field in which the parameters are fitted to a ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction and adipogenic reduction by prohibitin silencing in 3T3-L1 cells. [PDF]
Increase in mitochondrial biogenesis has been shown to accompany brown and white adipose cell differentiation. Prohibitins (PHBs), comprised of two evolutionarily conserved proteins, prohibitin-1 (PHB1) and prohibitin-2 (PHB2), are present in a high ...

Histone H2B ubiquitylation and H3 lysine 4 methylation prevent ectopic silencing of euchromatic loci important for the cellular response to heat [PDF]
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ubiquitylation of histone H2B signals methylation of histone H3 at lysine residues 4 (K4) and 79. These modifications occur at active genes but are believed to stabilize silent chromatin by limiting movement of silencing ...

Cardiac fibrosis is a pathological process of multiple cardiovascular diseases, which may lead to heart failure. Studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in regulating mitophagy and cardiac fibrosis. We found that miR-24-3p expression was significantly downregulated in transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice and cardiac ...

Non-polyadenylated transcription in embryonic stem cells reveals novel non-coding RNA related to pluripotency and differentiation [PDF]
The transcriptional landscape in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and during ESC differentiation has received considerable attention, albeit mostly confined to the polyadenylated fraction of RNA, whereas the non-polyadenylated (NPA) fraction remained largely ...
