Regulation of VDAC trafficking modulates cell death [PDF]
Cell Death Discovery, 2016 AbstractThe voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) and mitochondria-associated hexokinase (HxK) have crucial roles in both cell survival and death. Both the individual abundances and their ratio seem to influence the balance of survival and death and are thus critical in scenarios, such as neurodegeneration and cancer.

Nanoporous silica-based protocells at multiple scales for designs of life and nanomedicine. [PDF]
, 2015 Various protocell models have been constructed de novo with the bottom-up approach. Here we describe a silica-based protocell composed of a nanoporous amorphous silica core encapsulated within a lipid bilayer built by self-assembly that provides for ...

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Diflubenzuron is used as an insect growth inhibitor, and its potential risk to human health was raised owing to the possibility of environmental residues and human exposure. This study aimed to investigate the toxic mechanism of diflubenzuron on trophoblastic cells such as HTR8/SVneo and JEG‐3 cells. We investigated mitochondrial function, Ca2+

Modulation of Plant Mitochondrial VDAC by Phytosterols [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2010 We have investigated the effect of cholesterol and two abundant phytosterols (sitosterol and stigmasterol) on the voltage-dependent anion-selective channel (VDAC) purified from mitochondria of bean seeds (Phaseolus coccineus). These sterols differ by the degree of freedom of their lateral chain.

Apoptosome activation, an important molecular instigator in 6-mercaptopurine induced Leydig cell death. [PDF]
, 2015 Leydig cells are crucial to the production of testosterone in males. It is unknown if the cancer chemotherapeutic drug, 6-mercaptopurine (6 MP), produces Leydig cell failure among adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Moreover, it is

The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT NLRP3 (NLR family pyrin domain containing 3) is one of the crucial receptors in pathogen recognition receptor (PRR) families which can recognize the pathogen‐associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and the damage‐associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), thus triggering innate immune response. After NLRP3 activation, it recruits the adaptor protein

The proapoptotic protein BNIP3 interacts with VDAC to induce mitochondrial release of endonuclease G. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BNIP3 is a proapoptotic protein that induces cell death through a mitochondria-mediated pathway. We reported previously that mitochondrial localization of BNIP3 and translocation of EndoG from mitochondria to the nucleus are critical steps of the BNIP3 ...

Distinct Mechanisms of Pathogenic DJ-1 Mutations in Mitochondrial Quality Control [PDF]
, 2018 The deglycase and chaperone protein DJ-1 is pivotal for cellular oxidative stress responses and mitochondrial quality control. Mutations in PARK7, encoding DJ-1, are associated with early-onset familial Parkinson’s disease and lead to pathological ...
