Doxorubicin induces phosphorylation of lamin A/C and loss of nuclear membrane integrity: A novel mechanism of cardiotoxicity
Free Radic Biol Med. 2024 Apr 4:S0891-5849(24)00383-6. doi: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.04.212. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLamin A/C, essential inner nuclear membrane proteins, have been linked to progeria, a disease of accelerated aging, and many other diseases, which include cardiac disorder. Lamin A/C mutation and its phosphorylation are associated with altering nuclear shape and size. The role of lamin A/C in regulating normal cardiac function was reported earlier. In the present study, we hypothesized that Doxorubicin (Dox) may alter total lamin A/C expression and phosphorylation, thereby taking part in cardiac in...

TET3 boosts hepatocyte autophagy and impairs non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by increasing ENPP1 promoter hypomethylation
CONCLUSIONS: We describe a novel epigenetic mechanism wherein TET3 promoted ENPP1 expression through promoter hypomethylation is a critical mediator of NAFLD. Our findings provide new insight into the development of preventative measures for NAFLD.PMID:38582229 | DOI:10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.04.207 (Source: Free Radical Biology and Medicine)

Peroxiredoxin 6 suppresses ferroptosis in lung endothelial cells
Free Radic Biol Med. 2024 Apr 3:S0891-5849(24)00373-3. doi: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.04.208. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) repairs peroxidized membranes by reducing oxidized phospholipids, and by replacing oxidized sn-2 fatty acyl groups through hydrolysis/reacylation by its phospholipase A2 (aiPLA2) and lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase activities. Prdx6 is highly expressed in the lung, and intact lungs and cells null for Prdx6 or with single-point mutations that inactivate either Prdx6-peroxidase or aiPLA2 activity alone exhibit decreased viability, increased lipid peroxidation, and inco...

Mitochondrial quality control in non-exudative age-related macular degeneration: From molecular mechanisms to structural and functional recovery
Free Radic Biol Med. 2024 Apr 3:S0891-5849(24)00161-8. doi: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.03.024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNon-exudative age-related macular degeneration (NE-AMD) is the leading blindness cause in the elderly. Clinical and experimental evidence supports that early alterations in macular retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) mitochondria play a key role in NE-AMD-induced damage. Mitochondrial dynamics (biogenesis, fusion, fission, and mitophagy), which is under the central control of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK), in turn, determines mitochondrial quality. We have developed a NE-AMD model in C57BL/6J mice induc...

Quantifying redox transcription factor dynamics as a tool to investigate redox signalling
Free Radic Biol Med. 2024 Apr 2;218:16-25. doi: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2024.04.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA critical feature of the cellular antioxidant response is the induction of gene expression by redox-sensitive transcription factors. In many cells, activating these transcription factors is a dynamic process involving multiple redox steps, but it is unclear how these dynamics should be measured. Here, we show how the dynamic profile of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Pap1 transcription factor is quantifiable by three parameters: signal amplitude, signal time and signal duration. In response to increasing hydrog...

Mitochondrial remodeling underlying age-induced skeletal muscle wasting: let's talk about sex

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSarcopenia is associated with reduced quality of life and premature mortality. The sex disparities in the processes underlying sarcopenia pathogenesis, which include mitochondrial dysfunction, are ill-understood and can be decisive for the optimization of sarcopenia-related interventions. To improve the knowledge regarding the sex differences in skeletal muscle aging, the gastrocnemius muscle of young and old female and male rats was analyzed with a focus on mitochondrial remodeling through the pro...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUnderstanding the tumor redox status is important for efficient cancer treatment. Here, we noninvasively detected changes in the redox environment of tumors before and after cancer treatment in the same individuals using a novel compact and portable electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) device and compared the results with glycolytic information obtained through autoradiography using 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose ([18F]FDG). Human colon cancer HCT116 xenografts were used in the mice. We ...
