Coexistence of Wolbachia with Buchnera aphidicola and a secondary symbiont in the aphid Cinara cedri.

, 2004
Intracellular symbiosis is very common in the insect world. For the aphid Cinara cedri, we have identified by electron microscopy three symbiotic bacteria that can be characterized by their different sizes, morphologies, and electrodensities.

Therapies for Mitochondrial Disease: Past, Present, and Future

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 48, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial disease is a diverse group of clinically and genetically complex disorders caused by pathogenic variants in nuclear or mitochondrial DNA‐encoded genes that disrupt mitochondrial energy production or other important mitochondrial pathways. Mitochondrial disease can present with a wide spectrum of clinical features and can often be

Reduction in mRNA Expression of the Neutrophil Chemoattract Factor CXCL1 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Treated Barth Syndrome B Lymphoblasts

Biology, 2023
Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked genetic disease caused by a mutation in the TAFAZZIN gene, which codes for the protein tafazzin involved in cardiolipin remodeling.

Stimulating the sir2-pgc-1ɑ axis rescues exercise capacity and mitochondrial respiration in Drosophila tafazzin mutants

bioRxiv, 2022
Cardiolipin (CL) is a phospholipid required for proper mitochondrial function. Tafazzin remodels CL to create highly unsaturated fatty acid chains. However, when tafazzin is mutated, CL remodeling is impeded, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and the ...

Cardiolipin Profiling in Metastatic Breast Cancer Cells [PDF]

, 2018
Six human breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, LM, BoM, T47D, MCF7, and MCF7-BoM) were treated with three differentially targeted phospholipase inhibitors (bromoenol lactone, tricyclodecan-9-yl-xanthogenate, and halopemide) as well as various dietary ...

Monolysocardiolipin in cultured fibroblasts is a sensitive and specific marker for Barth Syndrome

Journal of Lipid Research, 2006
Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked recessive disorder that results in abnormal metabolism of the mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin (CL). CLs are decreased and monolysocardiolipins (MLCLs), intermediates in CL metabolism, are increased in a variety

Mitochondria‐Homing Drug Mitochonic Acid 5 Improves Barth Syndrome Myopathy in a Human‐Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Model and Barth Syndrome Drosophila Model

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 12, 30 June 2025.
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare disease caused by mutations in the tafazzin gene that affects the heart and muscles, but till date, no clinically effective drugs. Using Barth syndrome myopathy in human‐ iPS‐derived disease cells and Drosophila melanogaster model, a new mitochondria‐homing drug MA‐5, improves BTHS dysfunction and may serve as a new ...

Deficiency in Cardiolipin Reduces Doxorubicin-Induced Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Damage in Human B-Lymphocytes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Cardiolipin (CL) is an inner mitochondrial membrane phospholipid which plays an important role in mitochondrial function. Perturbation in CL biosynthesis alters mitochondrial bioenergetics causing a severe genetic disorder commonly known as Barth ...

Mitochondria‐Nuclear Crosstalk: Orchestrating mtDNA Maintenance

Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, Volume 66, Issue 5, Page 222-242, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The mitochondria (mt) and nucleus engage in a dynamic bidirectional communication to maintain cellular homeostasis, regulating energy production, stress response, and cell fate. Anterograde signaling directs mt function, while retrograde signaling conveys metabolic and stress‐related changes from mt to the nucleus. Central to this crosstalk is
