Mitochondrial Creatine Kinase Attenuates Pathologic Remodeling in Heart Failure

Yi Zhang, Annina Stuber

BACKGROUND: Abnormalities in cardiac energy metabolism occur in heart failure (HF) and contribute to contractile dysfunction, but their role, if any, in HF-related pathologic remodeling is much less established. CK (creatine kinase), the primary muscle ene ...

Dissecting the role of the mitochondrial carrier SLC25A47

Nadia Bresciani

Transporters of the SLC25 mitochondrial carrier superfamily bridge cytoplasmic and mitochondrial metabolism by channeling metabolites across mitochondrial membranes and are pivotal for metabolic homeostasis. Despite their physiological relevance as gatekee ...

Augmented mitochondrial energy metabolism is an early response to chronic glucose stress in human pancreatic beta cells

Loïc Dayon, Andreas Wiederkehr, Isabelle Chareyron

Aims/hypothesis In islets from individuals with type 2 diabetes and in islets exposed to chronic elevated glucose, mitochondrial energy metabolism is impaired. Here, we studied early metabolic changes and mitochondrial adaptations in human beta cells durin ...

Mitochondrial copper depletion suppresses triple-negative breast cancer in mice

Elena Goun, Arkadiy Bazhin

Depletion of mitochondrial copper, which shifts metabolism from respiration to glycolysis and reduces energy production, is known to be effective against cancer types that depend on oxidative phosphorylation. However, existing copper chelators are too toxi ...

Structure of the mitochondrial import gate reveals distinct preprotein paths

Marilena Wischnewski

The translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) is the main entry gate for proteins(1-4). Here we use cryo-electron microscopy to report the structure of the yeast TOM core complex(5-9) at 3.8-angstrom resolution. The structure reveals the high-r ...

Mechanistic insights into AMP-activated protein kinase-dependent gene expression

Caterina Collodet

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a fundamental enzyme that controls energy homeostasis, through orchestrating the cellular response to a reduction in energy availability. Under conditions of cellular energy stress AMPK senses the decrease in ATP leve ...

NTCP deficiency in mice protects against obesity and hepatosteatosis

Kristina Schoonjans

Bile acids play a major role in the regulation of lipid and energy metabolism. Here we propose the hepatic bile acid uptake transporter Na+ taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) as a target to prolong postprandial bile acid elevations in plasma. R ...

Microfluidic and micromechanical in vivo studies of Caenorhabditis elegans

Roger Philippe Krenger

Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the most attractive model organisms in biomedical research for understanding human diseases and for drug testing at a whole-organism level, since many biological pathways and genes have been conserved between itself and hum ...

AMP-activated protein kinase : strategies for activation and downstream target identification

Serge Thanh Son Ducommun

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an evolutionally conserved key sensor of cellular energy status. Under conditions of cellular energy stress, AMPK is activated and will switch off anabolic processes that consume ATP, while activating catabolic proces ...

Sodium Signaling and Astrocyte Energy Metabolism

Pierre Magistretti

The Na+ gradient across the plasma membrane is constantly exploited by astrocytes as a secondary energy source to regulate the intracellular and extracellular milieu, and discard waste products. One of the most prominent roles of astrocytes in the brain is ...

Specification of haematopoietic stem cell fate via modulation of mitochondrial activity

Johan Auwerx, Matthias Lütolf, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Mukul Girotra, Vasco Ledebur de Antas de Campos, Aline Roch, Nicola Vannini, Sonja Giger, Gennady Nikitin

Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differ from their committed progeny by relying primarily on anaerobic glycolysis rather than mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for energy production. However, whether this change in the metabolic program is the cause ...

GDH-Dependent Glutamate Oxidation in the Brain Dictates Peripheral Energy Substrate Distribution

Rolf Gruetter

Glucose, the main energy substrate used in the CNS, is continuously supplied by the periphery. Glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter, is foreseen as a complementary energy contributor in the brain. In particular, astrocytes actively take up glut ...

Matrix-Assisted Transplantation of Functional Beige Adipose Tissue

Riccardo Sinisi, Grigory Karateev

Novel, clinically relevant, approaches to shift energy balance are urgently needed to combat metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. One promising approach has been the expansion of brown adipose tissues that express uncoupling protein (UCP) 1 an ...

Control of Mitochondrial pH by Uncoupling Protein 4 in Astrocytes Promotes Neuronal Survival

Pierre Magistretti, Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Hélène Danielle Perreten Lambert, Manuel Raphael Zenger

Brain activity is energetically costly and requires a steady and highly regulated flow of energy equivalents between neural cells. It is believed that a substantial share of cerebral glucose, the major source of energy of the brain, will preferentially be ...

Thermodynamics-Based Metabolic Flux Analysis

Vassily Hatzimanikatis

A new form of metabolic flux analysis (MFA) called thermodynamics-based metabolic flux analysis (TMFA) is introduced with the capability of generating thermodynamically feasible flux and metabolite activity profiles on a genome scale. TMFA involves the use ...
