ER proteostasis meets mitochondrial function: contact sites as hubs of communication and therapeutic targets

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteostasis ensures proper protein folding, modification, and degradation, while its impairment triggers ER stress. Chronic ER stress and maladaptive UPR via the CHOP–ERO1 axis remodel ERMCs, altering calcium signaling and mitochondrial metabolism.

VDAC Regulation by Cytosolic Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2009
Voltage-dependent anion channel VDAC, positioned on the interface between mitochondria and the cytosol, is at the control point of mitochondria life and death. This large channel plays the role of a “switch” that defines in which direction mitochondria will go: to normal respiration or to suppression of mitochondria metabolism that leads to apoptosis ...

Human VDAC pseudogenes: an emerging role for VDAC1P8 pseudogene in acute myeloid leukemia

open access: yesBiological Research, 2023
Background Voltage-dependent anion selective channels (VDACs) are the most abundant mitochondrial outer membrane proteins, encoded in mammals by three genes, VDAC1, 2 and 3, mostly ubiquitously expressed.

Anti‐cancer drugs targeting the NADH‐binding site of VDAC rewire channel electrophysiology and partially suppress cation selectivity

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
VA molecules alter VDAC1 gating by increasing anion flow and reducing cation permeability. In cancer cells, which rely on ER‐mitochondria Ca2+ transfer and overexpress VDAC1, this imbalance triggers bioenergetic stress, ROS buildup, and mitochondrial collapse, leading to cell death.

Molecular Dynamics Studies of Ion Permeation in VDAC [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2011
The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) in the outer membrane of mitochondria serves an essential role in the transport of metabolites and electrolytes between the cell matrix and mitochondria. To examine its structure, dynamics, and the mechanisms underlying its electrophysiological properties, we performed a total of 1.77 μs molecular dynamics ...

Effects of nanoparticles on murine macrophages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Metallic nanoparticles are more and more widely used in an increasing number of applications. Consequently, they are more and more present in the environment, and the risk that they may represent for human health must be evaluated.

Exercise‐related microRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans regulate calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial dynamics: Conserved pathways, divergent microRNAs

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Exercise‐related microRNAs cel‐miR‐249‐3p and cel‐miR‐77‐5p in C. elegans regulate lifespan, fitness, mitochondrial morphology and membrane potential. Although lacking direct mammalian orthologs, H2O2‐induced microRNAs mmu‐miR‐181a‐5p and mmu‐miR‐378a‐3p regulate myogenesis, autophagy, mitochondrial content and respiration in murine myoblasts ...

VDAC: Voltage Dependant Anion Channel

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2011
VDAC (Voltage Dependent Anion Channel) is a channel protein located on the outer mitochondrial membrane. It regulates mitochondria functions and cell respiration through the exchange of molecules between the cytoplasm and the organelle, such as ADP, ATP, anions, cations, and other small, hydrophilic molecules.

Systematic review of the value-driven attentional capture paradigm in visual attention studies: Evidence from 52 experiments

open access: yesActa Psychologica
Human visual attention is strongly influenced by rewards, affecting both top-down and bottom-up attentional processes. The value-driven attentional capture (VDAC) paradigm, introduced by Anderson et al.

Calciprotein particle‐induced calcium overload triggers mitochondrial dysfunction in endothelial cells

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Calciprotein particles (CPPs) are small calcium‐ and phosphate‐containing nanoaggregates associated with the development of vascular disease (CVD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previously, we have shown that CPPs induce endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, possibly contributing to CVD in CKD, but the underlying molecular ...
