Frataxin activates mitochondrial energy conversion and oxidative phosphorylation.
Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by decreased expression of the mitochondrial protein frataxin. The biological function of frataxin is unclear. The homologue of frataxin in yeast, YFH1, is required for cellular respiration and was suggested to regulate mitochondrial iron homeostasis. Patients suffering from FA exhibit decreased ATP production in skeletal muscle....
متن کاملRegulation of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism by tumor suppressor FLCN.
BACKGROUND Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome is a hereditary hamartoma syndrome that predisposes patients to develop hair follicle tumors, lung cysts, and kidney cancer. Genetic studies of BHD patients have uncovered the causative gene, FLCN, but its function is incompletely understood. METHODS Mice with conditional alleles of FLCN and/or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivat...
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction induced by frataxin deficiency is associated with cellular senescence and abnormal calcium metabolism
Friedreich ataxia is considered a neurodegenerative disorder involving both the peripheral and central nervous systems. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) are the major target tissue structures. This neuropathy is caused by mutations in the FXN gene that encodes frataxin. Here, we investigated the mitochondrial and cell consequences of frataxin depletion in a cellular model based on frataxin silencing i...
متن کاملForkhead Box L1 Is Frequently Downregulated in Gallbladder Cancer and Inhibits Cell Growth through Apoptosis Induction by Mitochondrial Dysfunction
BACKGROUND Forkhead box L1 (FOXL1), considered as a novel candidate tumor suppressor, suppresses proliferation and invasion in certain cancers. However, the regulation and function of FOXL1 in gallbladder cancer (GBC) remains unclear. METHODS FOXL1 expression at mRNA and protein levels in GBC tissues and cell lines were examined by RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and western blot assay. FOXL1 ex...
متن کاملPhenethyl isothiocyanate Triggers Apoptosis, Combats Oxidative Stress and Inhibits Growth of Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma Mouse Model
The aim of this study is to investigate the antitumor activity and possible molecular mechanism of Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in-vivo and in-vitro.In-vivo, ascetic fluid volume, body weight, serum malondialdehyde (MDA) level and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were determined using Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) bearing mice. In-vitro, MTT assay was use...
