Activation of the urotensin-II receptor by remdesivir induces cardiomyocyte dysfunction

Study design The overall goal of this study was to explore the molecular mechanisms of remdesivir-related cardiotoxicity in anti-COVID-19 therapy. We first performed the GPCR screening using major anti-COVID-19 drugs as ligands (n = 3 per GPCR). We validated the results of GPCR screening by concentration-response analysis and determined the EC50 and…

A meta-analysis and a functional study support the influence of mtDNA variant m.16519C on the risk of rapid progression of knee osteoarthritis

Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic musculoskeletal disease with a polygenic and heterogeneous nature that involves movable joints. The set of features that take place during the development of the disease lead to consider OA as a severe disease of the whole joint as an organ.1–3 The aetiology of knee…

Key Amino Acid Residues of Mitochondrial Transcription Factor A Synergize with Abasic (AP) Site Dynamics To Facilitate AP-Lyase Reactions

Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes 37 essential genes and plays a critical role in mitochondrial and cellular functions. mtDNA is susceptible to damage by endogenous and exogenous chemicals. Damaged mtDNA molecules are counteracted by the redundancy, repair, and degradation of mtDNA. In response to difficult-to-repair or excessive amounts of DNA…

Probing the Mammalian Mitochondrial Nucleoid

dc.contributor.author Rajala, Nina dc.date.accessioned 2015-04-29T04:47:49Z dc.date.available 2015-04-29T04:47:49Z dc.date.issued 2015 dc.identifier.isbn 978-951-44-9794-0 – dc.identifier.uri trepo.tuni.fi/handle/10024/96996 dc.description.abstract Mitokondrioiden tärkein tehtävä on energian tuottaminen. Mitokondriot ovat solujen hengityskeskuksia, joissa 90 % tarvitsemastamme energiasta tuotetaan oksidatiivisen fosforylaation kautta elektroninsiirtoketjua apuna käyttäen. Kun mitokondriot eivät toimi kunnolla, tuloksena voi olla energiakriisi, erityisesti lihaksissa, aivoissa ja…

The cGAS-STING signaling in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases: Future novel target option for pharmacotherapy

Abstract The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling exert essential regulatory function in microbial-and onco-immunology through the induction of cytokines, primarily type I interferons. Recently, the aberrant and deranged signaling of the cGAS-STING axis is closely implicated in multiple sterile inflammatory diseases, including heart failure, myocardial infarction,…

mitochondrial dna damage triggers an ifn mediated immune response

2.6 Mitochondrial Damage-Induced Mitochondrial DNA Release is Central to Chronic Kidney Disease-Induced Type-I-Interferon Response in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells DNA released from nuclear or mitochondria is the main source of endogenous DNA that activates cGAS-STING pathway. This is thought to be mediated by the presence 75 of leaked mitochondrial DNA…
