Anti-apoptotic and antioxidant activities of the mitochondrial estrogen receptor beta in n2a neuroblastoma cells
(2021)Estrogens are steroid hormones that play a crucial role in the regulation of the reproductive and non-reproductive system physiology. Among non-reproductive systems, the nervous system is mainly affected by estrogens due ... -
The autophagic response to oxidative stress in osteoarthritic chondrocytes is deregulated
(2018)It has been reported that oxidative stress (OS) is involved in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) and that defective autophagy is accompanying this age-related disease. Moreover, it has been proposed that induction ... -
Boswellic acids and their derivatives as potent regulators of glucocorticoid receptor actions
(2020)Glucocorticoid (GCs) hormones exert their actions via their cognate steroid receptors the Glucocorticoid Receptors (GR), by genomic or non-genomic mechanisms of actions. GCs regulate many cellular functions among them ... -
CB1R-dependent activation of Fyn tyrosine kinase and protein kinase C Delta, PKCδ, in lipid rafts
(2008)Cannabinoid 1 receptors (CB1Rs) are heptahelical transmembrane receptors which may exert their effects through the activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs). We have previously shown that stably ... -
Cerebral and non-cerebral coenurosis: on the genotypic and phenotypic diversity of Taenia multiceps
(2016)We characterised the causative agents of cerebral and non-cerebral coenurosis in livestock by determining the mitochondrial genotypes and morphological phenotypes of 52 Taenia multiceps isolates from a wide geographical ... -
Current laboratory and clinical practices in reporting and interpreting anti-nuclear antibody indirect immunofluorescence (ANA IIF) patterns: results of an international survey
(2020)Background: The International Consensus on Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) Patterns (ICAP) has recently proposed nomenclature in order to harmonize ANA indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) pattern reporting. ICAP distinguishes ... -
Cytochrome c as a potentially clinical useful marker of mitochondrial and cellular damage
(2016)Mitochondria are evolutionary endosymbionts derived from bacteria. Thus, they bear molecules, such as mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that contains CpG DNA repeats and N-formyl peptides (FPs), found in bacteria. Upon cell necrosis ... -
The effect of glyphosate on human sperm motility and sperm DNA fragmentation
(2018)Glyphosate is the active ingredient of Roundup®, which is one of the most popular herbicides worldwide. Although many studies have focused on the reproductive toxicity of glyphosate or glyphosate-based herbicides, the ... -
Enhanced expression of miR-21 and miR-150 is a feature of anti-mitochondrial antibody-negative primary biliary cholangitis
(2020)Background & Aims: Anti-mitochondrial-autoantibodies (AMA) remain a hallmark of Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) however approximately 10% of patients test negative for these antibodies. They do not differ in terms of ... -
High-Fat Diet Augments the Effect of Alcohol on Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Mice
(2022)Previous studies have shown that chronic heavy alcohol consumption and consumption of a high-fat (HF) diet can independently contribute to skeletal muscle oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, yet the concurrent ... -
The impact of diet upon mitochondrial physiology (Review)
(2022)Mitochondria are considered the 'powerhouses' of cells, generating the essential energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate that they need for their energy demands. Nevertheless, their function is easily adaptable as ... -
In-depth bioinformatic study of the CLDN16 gene and protein: Prediction of subcellular localization to mitochondria
(2019)Background and Objectives: The defects in the CLDN16 gene are a cause of primary hypomagnesemia (FHHNC), which is characterized by massive renal magnesium wasting, resulting in nephrocalcinosis and renal failure. The ... -
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase downregulates T-cell receptor complex ζ-chain and c-Myc, and reduces proliferation, lactate dehydrogenase levels and mitochondrial glutaminase in human T-cells
(2016)Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), through L-tryptophan depletion, activates general control non-derepressible (GCN) 2 kinase and suppresses T-cell proliferation, in addition to suppressing aerobic glycolysis and glutaminolysis, ... -
Investigating the Impact of a Curse: Diseases, Population Isolation, Evolution and the Mother's Curse
(2022)The mitochondrion was characterized for years as the energy factory of the cell, but now its role in many more cellular processes is recognized. The mitochondrion and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) also possess a set of distinct ... -
Islands and hybrid zones: Combining the knowledge from "natural Laboratories" to explain phylogeographic patterns of the European brown hare 06 Biological Sciences 0604 Genetics
(2019)Background: The aim of the study was to use hybrid populations as well as island populations of the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) to explore the effect of evolutionary events, such as the post-deglaciation ... -
Landscape of Eukaryotic Transmembrane Beta Barrel Proteins
(2020)Even though in the last few years several families of eukaryotic β-barrel outer membrane proteins have been discovered, their computational characterization and their annotation in public databases are far from complete. ... -
Lipid Metabolism in Cancer: The Role of Acylglycerolphosphate Acyltransferases (AGPATs)
(2022)Altered lipid metabolism is an emerging hallmark of aggressive tumors, as rapidly proliferating cancer cells reprogram fatty acid (FA) uptake, synthesis, storage, and usage to meet their increased energy demands. Central ... -
Mitochondrial dynamics and proteins related to neurodegenerative diseases
(2018)Disruptions in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and the occurrence of proteins misfolding lead to neuronal death, resulting in Age-related Dementia and Neurodegenerative diseases as well as Frailty. Functional, ... -
Mitochondrial tRNA mutations - Clinical and functional perturbations
