Genetic determinants of mitochondrial content.
The mitochondria are the major cellular site of energy production and respiration. Recent research has focused on investigating the role of mitochondria in disease development and it has become increasingly evident that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to a variety of human diseases. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) quantity is very important for maintaining mitochondrial function and meeting the...
متن کاملMitochondrial determinants of mammalian longevity
Current ageing theories are far from satisfactory because of the many determinants involved in ageing. The well-known rate-of-living theory assumes that the product (lifetime energy expenditure, LEE) of maximum lifespan (MLS) and mass-specific basal metabolic rate (msBMR) is approximately constant. Although this theory provides a significant inverse correlation between msBMR and MLS as a whole ...
متن کاملThe mitochondrial uncoupling protein-2 promotes chemoresistance in cancer cells.
Cancer cells acquire drug resistance as a result of selection pressure dictated by unfavorable microenvironments. This survival process is facilitated through efficient control of oxidative stress originating from mitochondria that typically initiates programmed cell death. We show this critical adaptive response in cancer cells to be linked to uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2), a mitochondrial suppr...
متن کاملStructural determinants of fluorochemical-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.
Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) are thought to induce peroxisome proliferation and interfere with mitochondrial metabolic pathways. Direct measurements revealed that PFOA and the unsubstituted sulfonamide of perfluorooctane (FOSA) uncouple mitochondrial respiration by increasing proton conductance. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize structural de...
متن کاملGenetic Determinants of Mitochondrial Response to Arsenic
We have used yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a tool to identify the importance of mitochondrial processes involved in arsenic-induced carcinogenicity in humans. We screened 466 single-gene knockout strains of yeast S. cerevisiae known to be involved in biogenesis of mitochondria for sodium arsenite (AsIII) and sodium arsenate (AsV) sensitivity. We identified 72 arsenite-sensitive and 81 arsen...
