Loss of PLA2G6 leads to elevated mitochondrial lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial dysfunction [PDF]

, 2015
© 2015 The Author.The PLA2G6 gene encodes a group VIA calcium-independent phospholipase A2 beta enzyme that selectively hydrolyses glycerophospholipids to release free fatty acids. Mutations in PLA2G6 have been associated with disorders such as infantile

Substantial Decrease in Plasmalogen in the Heart Associated with Tafazzin Deficiency [PDF]

Biochemistry, 2018
Tafazzin is the mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes transacylation between a phospholipid and a lysophospholipid in remodeling. Mutations in tafazzin cause Barth syndrome, a potentially life-threatening disease with the major symptom being cardiomyopathy.

Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Pancreatic β Cell Function: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets for Diabetes

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 18, Issue 5, May 2026.
This review highlights mitochondrial dysfunction as a central driver of pancreatic β cell failure in diabetes, caused by disrupted mitochondrial quality control (MQC), oxidative stress, and impaired organelle communication. Emerging therapies, such as DRAK2 inhibitors and metabolic reprogramming agents, show promise in restoring β cell function by ...

Tafazzin regulates the function of lipopolysaccharide activated B lymphocytes in mice [PDF]

, 2021
AbstractB lymphocytes are responsible for humoral immunity and play a key role in the immune response. Optimal mitochondrial function is required to support B cell activity during activation. We examined how deficiency of tafazzin, a cardiolipin remodeling enzyme required for mitochondrial function, alters the metabolic activity of B cells and their ...

Novel drugs approved by the EMA, the FDA and the MHRA in 2025: A year in review

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 9, Page 1779-1813, May 2026.
Abstract In the 2025 novel drug mini‐review, one can take a full measure of the ingenuity that underlies current drug design and development, despite the year's smaller harvest (46 novel drugs) compared to 2024 (53) and 2023 (70). 54% of the novel drugs are first‐in‐class (FIC).

New C-Terminal Conserved Regions of Tafazzin, a Catalyst of Cardiolipin Remodeling [PDF]

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2019
Cardiolipin interacts with many proteins of the mitochondrial inner membrane and, together with cytochrome C and creatine kinase, activates them. It can be considered as an integrating factor for components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which provides for an efficient transfer of electrons and protons.

BMAL1 Drives Cisplatin Resistance in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer Via Lactate‐MRP1 Signaling Pathway

Thoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 8, April 2026.
The drug cisplatin induces BMAL1 expression through AKT signaling in response to cisplatin‐induced oxidative stress. BMAL1 activates HIF‐1α‐mediated metabolic reprogramming and lactate production, which in turn activates the TAZ/c‐Jun/Snail complex to upregulate drug efflux pump MRP1, initiating and sustaining chemoresistance. ABSTRACT Lung cancer, the

Role of Hippo Pathway Effector Tafazzin Protein in Maintaining Stemness of Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSC)

International Journal of Hematology-Oncology and Stem Cell Research, 2018
Tafazzin (TAZ) protein has been upregulated in various types of human cancers, although the basis for elevation is uncertain, it has been made definite that the effect of mutation in the hippo pathway, particularly when it is switched off, considerably ...

Thematic Review Series: Glycerolipids. Cardiolipin synthesis for the assembly of bacterial and mitochondrial membranes*

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
In this article, the formation of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cardiolipin is reviewed in light of its biological function. I begin with a detailed account of the structure of cardiolipin, its stereochemistry, and the resulting physical properties, and I ...
