    Genome-Wide Identification and Characterisation of Abiotic Stress Responsive mTERF Gene Family in Amaranthus hypochondriacus

    Mortaza Hajyzadeh*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.92, No.5, pp. 1649-1664, 2023, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2023.028028

    Abstract Abiotic stresses at different growth stages in the life of plants negatively affect yield productivity. Therefore, plants, including Amaranthus hypochondriacus, develop adaptive strategies to face the stresses and expand functional diversification. In plants, the mitochondrial transcription termination factors (mTERF) are essential functions in regulation, and organelles (mitochondria and chloroplasts) control gene expression (OGE) under several stress conditions. Based on the in-silico-wide genome and transcriptome analysis, twenty-four mTERF genes were detected in the main targeted mitochondria organelles clustered into three different main groups. The chromosomal location and gene duplication analysis indicated one segmental and one tandem duplication in the genome. The… More >

    Magnetic mitohormesis: A non-invasive therapy for inflammatory disorders?

    ALFREDO FRANCO-OBREGÓN*

    BIOCELL, Vol.47, No.2, pp. 239-244, 2023, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.025357

    Abstract An organism’s survival depends on its ability to adapt to stress. Mitochondria are the cellular integrators of environmental stressors that ultimately translate their responses at the organismal level, and are thus central to the process whereby organisms adapt to their respective environments. Mitochondria produce molecular energy via oxidative phosphorylation that then allows cells to biosynthetically respond and adapt to changes in their environment. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are by-products of oxidative phosphorylation that can be either beneficial or damaging, depending on the context; ROS are hence both the conveyors of environmental stress as well as cellular “adaptogens”. Mitohormesis refers to… More >

    POOJA JAISWAL1, VERSHA TRIPATHI1, ANSHUL ASSAIYA2, DHARMENDRA KASHYAP3, RAHUL DUBEY4, ANAMIKA SINGH4, JANESH KUMAR2, HEM CHANDRA JHA3, RAJESH SHARMA5, AMIT KUMAR DIXIT6, HAMENDRA SINGH PARMAR1,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.46, No.12, pp. 2645-2657, 2022, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2022.021754

    Abstract Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line MDA-MB-231 is known for Warburg metabolism and defects in mitochondria. On the other hand, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitors such as sitagliptin and vildagliptin and GLP-1 agonist exendin-4 are known to improve mitochondrial functions as well as biogenesis, but no study has evaluated the influence of these drugs on mitochondrial biogenesis on metastatic breast cancer cell line. We have recently reported anticancer effects of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside on MDA-MB-231 cells via activation of AMP-dependent kinase (AMPK), which activates the downstream transcription factors PGC-1α, PGC-1β, or FOXO1 for mitochondrial biogenesis; above-mentioned incretin-based therapies are also known to… More >

    XINLU GAO1,2,#, XIUXIU WANG1,2,#, WENWEN ZHANG1,2,#, HANJING LI1,2, FAN YANG2,3, WENYA MA2, YU LIU1,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.46, No.12, pp. 2637-2644, 2022, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2022.021033

    Abstract Photobiomodulation (PBM) has been shown to delay the pathological process of heart failure, but the exact mechanism of action is not clear. Mitochondria occupy one-third of the volume of mammalian cardiomyocytes (CMs) and are central transport stations for CM energy metabolism. Therefore, in this study, we explored the regulatory effects of 630 nm light-emitting diodes (LED-Red) on the mitochondria of CMs. The results show that LED-Red-based PBM promotes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis by upregulating the expression of glycolipid metabolizing enzymes. Correspondingly, there was an improvement in the activity of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), a key enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport… More >

    HUAMIN WANG1,#, YANTING WU1,#, ZHENLEI WANG2,#, YUHANG CHEN1, JINYU MO1, WEN GUAN1, YALI ZHANG1, HONGLIANG YAO1,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.29, No.3, pp. 201-215, 2021, DOI:10.32604/or.2022.03553

    Abstract LncRNAs and metabolism represents two factors involved in cancer initiation and progression. However, the interaction between lncRNAs and metabolism remains to be fully explored. In this study, lncRNA FEZF1-AS1 (FEZF1- AS1) was found upregulated in colon cancer after screening all the lncRNAs of colon cancer tissues deposited in TCGA, the result of which was further confirmed by RNAscope staining on a colon tissue chip. The results obtained using FEZF1- AS1 knockout colon cancer cells (SW480 KO and HCT-116 KO) constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 system confirmed the proliferation, invasion, and migration-promoting function of FEZF1-AS1 in vitro. Mechanistically, FEZF1-AS1 associated with the mitochondrial… More >

    TIMP-3 Increases the Chemosensitivity of Laryngeal Carcinoma to Cisplatin via Facilitating Mitochondria-Dependent Apoptosis

    Xiaohui Shen, Xia Gao, Hui Li, Yajun Gu, Junguo Wang

    Oncology Research, Vol.27, No.1, pp. 73-80, 2019, DOI:10.3727/096504018X15201099883047

    Abstract Laryngeal carcinoma is a type of head and neck carcinoma with a high incidence and mortality. Chemotherapy treatments of human laryngeal carcinoma may fail due to the development of chemoresistance. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 3 (TIMP-3) has been shown to be implicated in a number of pathological processes typical for cancer. The present study aims to investigate the involvement of TIMP-3 in the chemoresistance of laryngeal carcinoma. We showed that TIMP-3 expression was significantly decreased in chemoresistant laryngeal carcinoma tissues compared with chemosensitivity tissues. Patients with low TIMP-3 expression exhibited poorer overall survival than those with high TIMP-3 expression. Moreover,… More >

    Hai-Tao Li, Dao-Yong Dong, Qiang Liu, Yi-Qin Xu, Langbo Chen

    Oncology Research, Vol.27, No.4, pp. 423-429, 2019, DOI:10.3727/096504017X15030178624579

    Abstract LACTB, a mitochondrial protein, was ubiquitously expressed in different mammalian tissues, such as liver, heart, and skeletal muscle. It has been shown that LACTB is downexpressed in breast cancers, and it suppresses the proliferation and promotes the apoptosis of breast cancers. However, its role in the progression and prognosis of glioma remains unknown. In this study, we analyzed the clinicopathological features and outcomes of LACTB expression in 98 glioma patients and investigated the effects of LACTB overexpression on the proliferation, invasion, and angiogenesis of glioma cells in vitro. We observed a significant decrease in LACTB expression in glioma, and downexpression… More >

    Overexpression of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase E1a Subunit Inhibits Warburg Effect and Induces Cell Apoptosis Through Mitochondria-Mediated Pathway in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Jihong Sun*†1, Jingjing Li†1, Zhixian Guo, Lu Sun†‡, Chenghui Juan§, Yubing Zhou, Hongli Gu, Yan Yu, Qiuyue Hu, Quancheng’ Kan, Zujiang Yu

    Oncology Research, Vol.27, No.4, pp. 407-417, 2019, DOI:10.3727/096504018X15180451872087

    Abstract Most cancers rely disproportionately on glycolysis for energy even in the presence of an adequate oxygen supply, a condition known as “aerobic glycolysis,” or the “Warburg effect.” Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 subunit (PDHA1) is one of the main factors for the metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to aerobic glycolysis and has been suggested to be closely associated with tumorigenesis. Here we observed that the PDHA1 protein was reduced in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) specimens by immunohistochemistry and Western blot, which was significantly associated with poor overall survival. To further analyze the function of PDHA1 in cancer cells, PDHA1 was upregulated in… More >

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.73, No.1, pp. 953-963, 2022, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2022.028958

    Abstract One of the most difficult jobs in the post-genomic age is identifying a genetic disease from a massive amount of genetic data. Furthermore, the complicated genetic disease has a very diverse genotype, making it challenging to find genetic markers. This is a challenging process since it must be completed effectively and efficiently. This research article focuses largely on which patients are more likely to have a genetic disorder based on numerous medical parameters. Using the patient’s medical history, we used a genetic disease prediction algorithm that predicts if the patient is likely to be diagnosed with a genetic disorder. To… More >
