VPS13A Deficiency Leads to Impaired Lipid Distribution and Alteration of Mitochondrial Calcium Homeostasis in Fibroblasts of VPS13A Disease Patients

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Membrane contact sites are crucial for the exchange of ions or lipids and thus are critical for the function and maintenance of organelles. VPS13A is a membrane‐residing, bridge‐like protein connecting two membranes to enable bulk lipid transfer. Loss‐of‐function mutations in the VPS13A gene cause VPS13A disease.

Dual mechanism of ion permeation through VDAC revealed with inorganic phosphate ions and phosphate metabolites. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In the exchange of metabolites and ions between the mitochondrion and the cytosol, the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is a key element, as it forms the major transport pathway for these compounds through the mitochondrial outer membrane. Numerous

Bridging Psychological Stress and Skin Cellular Aging: Flavonoids as a Dual‐Action Therapeutic Strategy

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Psychological stress (or simply “stress”) is a major contributor to chronic disease worldwide, affecting 35% of the global population, including younger generations. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in human premature aging; hence, its detrimental effects on people's health compel us to comprehend and control the ways in which ...

Magnetic Fields Reduce Apoptosis by Suppressing Phase Separation of Tau-441

Research, 2023
The biological effects of magnetic fields (MFs) have been a controversial issue. Fortunately, in recent years, there has been increasing evidence that MFs do affect biological systems. However, the physical mechanism remains unclear.

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 use of anti-VDAC2 antibody for the combined assessment of human sperm acrosome integrity and ionophore A23187-induced acrosome reaction.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) is mainly located in the mitochondrial outer membrane and participates in many biological processes. In mammals, three VDAC subtypes (VDAC1, 2 and 3) have been identified.

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

The 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.

The association of VDAC with cell viability of PC12 model of Huntington’s disease

Frontiers in Oncology, 2016
It is becoming increasingly apparent that mitochondria dysfunction plays an important role in pathogenesis of Huntington’s disease (HD) but the underlying mechanism is still elusive. Thus, there is a still need for further studies concerning the upstream
