Limited Mitochondrial Permeabilization Causes DNA Damage and Genomic Instability in the Absence of Cell Death
During apoptosis, the mitochondrial outer membrane is permeabilized, leading to the release of cytochrome c that activates downstream caspases. Mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) has historically been thought to occur synchronously and completely throughout a cell, leading to rapid caspase activation and apoptosis. Using a new imaging approach, we demonstrate that MOMP is not ...
متن کاملPre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor protects against apoptotic neuronal death and mitochondrial damage in ischemia
We previously demonstrated that Pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor (PBEF), also known as nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in mammalian NAD(+) biosynthesis pathway, plays a brain and neuronal protective role in ischemic stroke. In this study, we further investigated the mechanism of its neuroprotective effect after ischemia in the primary cultured mouse co...
متن کاملWhen Skin Damage Causes Death
Our skin routinely shields us from microbes, allergens, and other environmental assaults, a yeoman’s service we often take for granted—until that barrier is breached. In response to injury, be it a simple cut or a deep wound, keratinocytes, the cells that form the epidermal layer, proliferate and dispatch chemical messengers to enlist the healing services of immune cells. But new research shows...
متن کاملMitochondrial Ferritin Protects Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Neuronal Cell Damage
Oxidative stress and iron accumulation are tightly associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Mitochondrial ferritin (FtMt) is identified as an iron-storage protein located in the mitochondria, and its role in regulation of iron hemeostasis in neurodegenerative diseases has been reported. However, the role of FtMt in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative stress and iron accumulation in ne...
متن کاملCalcineurin and mitochondrial function in glutamate-induced neuronal cell death.
We have previously reported that glutamate can trigger a succession of necrosis and apoptosis in cerebellar granule cells (CGC). Since specific blockers of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor channel prevented both types of cell death, the role of Ca2+-dependent processes in the initiation of glutamate toxicity was further investigated. We examined the possible involvement of mitochondria ...
