Wars1 downregulation in hepatocytes induces mitochondrial stress and disrupts metabolic homeostasis

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Xiaoxu Li, Giorgia Benegiamo, Hadrien Charles Edouard Demagny, Antoine Jalil, Francesca Pontanari, Adrien Faure Garcia

Several laboratories, including ours, have employed the Slc25a47tm1c(EUCOMM)Hmgu mouse model to investigate the role of SLC25A47, a hepatocyte-specific mitochondrial carrier, in regulating hepatic metabolism and systemic physiology. In this study, we revea ...

Diverse cell-specific patterns of alternative polyadenylation in Drosophila

Bart Deplancke

Most genes in higher eukaryotes express isoforms with distinct 3' untranslated regions (3' UTRs), generated by alternative polyadenylation (APA). Since 3' UTRs are predominant locations of post-transcriptional regulation, APA can render such programs condi ...

MicroRNA-204-5p modulates mitochondrial biogenesis in C2C12 myotubes and associates with oxidative capacity in humans

Xu Wang

Using an unbiased high-throughput microRNA (miRNA)-silencing screen combined with functional readouts for mitochondrial oxidative capacity in C2C12 myocytes, we previously identified 19 miRNAs as putative regulators of skeletal muscle mitochondrial metabol ...

Molecular Bases of the Membrane Association Mechanism Potentiating Antibiotic Resistance by New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase 1

Matteo Dal Peraro, Alessio Prunotto

Resistance to last-resort carbapenem antibiotics is an increasing threat to human health, as it critically limits therapeutic options. Metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) are the largest family of carbapenemases, enzymes that inactivate these drugs. Among MBLs, ...

Neurospheres modified to produce glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor increase the survival of transplanted dopamine neurons

Patrick Aebischer, Nicole Déglon

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to increase the survival of dopamine neurons in a variety of in vitro and in vivo model systems. Therefore, it constitutes an important therapeutic protein with the potential to ameliorate d ...

The metabolite BH4 controls T cell proliferation in autoimmunity and cancer

Kai Johnsson, Jairo Alexander Lozano Moreno, Yann Mathieu Pierson

Genetic regulators and environmental stimuli modulate T cell activation in autoimmunity and cancer. The enzyme co-factor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is involved in the production of monoamine neurotransmitters, the generation of nitric oxide, and pain(1,2). ...

Lentivirus-mediated Bcl-2 expression in betaTC-tet cells improves resistance to hypoxia and cytokine-induced apoptosis while preserving in vitro and in vivo control of insulin secretion

Didier Trono, Romain Zufferey

betaTC-tet cells are conditionally immortalized pancreatic beta cells which can confer long-term correction of hyperglycemia when transplanted in syngeneic streptozocin diabetic mice. The use of these cells for control of type I diabetes in humans will req ...

Allosteric regulation and targeting of Abl SH2-kinase interface and other cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases

Allan Joaquim Lamontanara

Due to their central role in normal cellular physiology, the activity of protein kinases is tightly regulated and their aberrant activation can lead to cancer. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a blood cancer characterized by unregulated growth of myel ...

Treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using a gene therapy approach

Patrick Aebischer

Neurotrophic factors which act on motor neurons may provide an efficient treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In order to overcome the difficulty of administering proteins into the central nervous system, it is possible to use a gene therapy approa ...

SUMOylation-Dependent LRH-1/PROX1 Interaction Promotes Atherosclerosis by Decreasing Hepatic Reverse Cholesterol Transport

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Dongryeol Ryu, Keir Joe Menzies, Xu Wang, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Maaike Hélène Oosterveer, Pan Xu, Chikage Mataki

Reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) is an antiatherogenic process in which excessive cholesterol from peripheral tissues is transported to the liver and finally excreted from the body via the bile. The nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH-1) driv ...

Investigating Endocytic Pathways to the Endoplasmic Reticulum and to the Cytosol Using SNAP-Trap

Kai Johnsson

Cholera toxin enters cells via an unusual pathway that involves trafficking through endosomes to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Whether the toxin induces its own pathway or travels along a physiological retrograde route is not known. To study its traffick ...

Astrocyte–neuron co-culture on microchips based on the model of SOD mutation to mimic ALS

Philippe Renaud, Pierre Magistretti, Patrick Aebischer, Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Anja Kunze, Elisabeth Anne Dirren

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common motor neuron disease. ALS is believed to be a non-cell autonomous condition, as other cell types, including astrocytes, have been implicated in disease pathogenesis. Hence, to facilitate the developmen ...

Thermal Unfolding of a Mammalian Pentameric Ligand-gated Ion Channel Proceeds at Consecutive, Distinct Steps

Horst Arthur Vogel, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Cédric Deluz, Ghérici Hassaïne, Menno Berend Tol

Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) play an important role in fast synaptic signal transduction. Binding of agonists to the beta-sheet-structured extracellular domain opens an ion channel in the transmembrane alpha-helical region of the LGIC. How ...

Neuroprotection by Gene Therapy Targeting Mutant SOD1 in Individual Pools of Motor Neurons Does not Translate Into Therapeutic Benefit in fALS Mice

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Christopher Towne, Veronica Setola

A major challenge in neurological gene therapy is delivery of the transgene to sufficient cell numbers in an atraumatic manner. This is particularly difficult for motor neuron (MN) diseases that have cells located across the entire spinal cord, brain stem, ...
