The Mechanism of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Its Roles in Chronic Rhinosinusitis

open access: yesWorld 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

Predicting molecular mechanism of silymarin-potentiated diclofenac toxicity: Insight from in silico molecular docking

open access: yesToxicology Reports, 2023
Silymarin was shown to enhance diclofenac toxicity by inducing the loss of mitochondrial membrane permeability (MMP) in Caco-2 cells, independent of endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake by the voltage-dependent anion channel 2 regulates cardiac rhythmicity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Tightly regulated Ca(2+) homeostasis is a prerequisite for proper cardiac function. To dissect the regulatory network of cardiac Ca(2+) handling, we performed a chemical suppressor screen on zebrafish tremblor embryos, which suffer from Ca(2+) extrusion ...

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.

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.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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

Insights into the function of ion channels by computational electrophysiology simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Ion channels are of universal importance for all cell types and play key roles in cellular physiology and pathology. Increased insight into their functional mechanisms is crucial to enable drug design on this important class of membrane proteins, and to ...

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 ...

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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

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

open access: yesResearch, 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.
