Non-alcoholic fatty liver is the most common liver disease worldwide. Here, we show that the mitochondrial protein mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) protects against liver disease. Reduced Mfn2 expression was detected in liver biopsies from patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Moreover, reduced Mfn2...

The human mitochondrial genome comprises a distinct genetic system transcribed as precursor polycistronic transcripts that are subsequently cleaved to generate individual mRNAs, tRNAs and rRNAs. Here we provide a comprehensive analysis of the human mitochondrial transcriptome across multiple cell li...

The ectopic deposition of fat is thought to lead to lipotoxicity and has been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and diabetic cardiomyopathy. We have measured mitochondrial respiratory capacities in the hearts of ob/ob and wild-type mice on either a regular chow (RCD) or high-fat (HFD) diet a...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that associate with Argonaute 2 protein to regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in the cytoplasm. However, recent studies have reported that some miRNAs localize to and function in other cellular compartments. Mitochondria harbour th...

Virus-infected cells often exhibit dramatic cellular changes accompanied by altered mitochondrial function. The contribution of factors shaping the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) and cristae architecture on viral replication is insufficiently understood. Single cell transcriptomics applying vesi...

Background: Developments in DNA resequencing microarrays include mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing and mutation detection. During automated analysis to sequence mtDNA, bases can be identified as wildtype, variant, or there may be a failure to assign a base (N-call) when compared to the mtDNA refe...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the cardioprotective effects of exercise-derived β-aminoisobutyric (BAIBA) on cardiomyocyte apoptosis and energy metabolism in a rat model of heart failure (HF).

METHODS: In male Sprague-Dawley rats (8-week-old), myocardial infarction ...

Small non-coding RNA biogenesis typically involves cleavage of structured precursors by RNase III-like endonucleases. However, guide RNAs that direct U-insertion/deletion mRNA editing in mitochondria of trypanosomes maintain 5′ triphosphate characteristic of transcription start site and possess U-...

This study aimed to determine whether human nuclear-encoded tRNAs can enter mitochondria and to assess their potential involvement in mitochondrial protein translation. We isolated cytoplasmic fractions, intact mitochondria, and mitoplasts from human HEK293T cells and performed small RNA sequencing ...

Human 143B.206 Rho+ cells (depleted mitochondrial DNA) and cytoplasts (derived from mitochondrial patient fibroblast containing C1624T mutation in mitochondrial tRNAVal ) were previously used to generated transmitochondrial cybrid lines. Hek293T cells,143B cells and cybrid cells were cultured in DME...
