Shaping the mitochondrion: mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics and dysfunction. Conference on Mitochondrial Assembly and Dynamics in Health and Disease.
Introduction Almost a century after being defined as the workhorses of cell metabolism, mitochondria are continuing to reveal new secrets. At this conference, the pathways that control mitochondrial biogenesis, function and dysfunction were discussed. The first part of the meeting focused on the molecular events required to build and shape the organelle, whereas the latter sessions explored how...
متن کاملMitochondrial dysfunction and biogenesis in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder marked by nigrostriatal dopaminergic degeneration and development of cytoplasmic aggregates known as Lewy bodies. The impact of this disease is indicated by the fact that mortality is two to five times as high among affected persons as among age-matched controls. However, the cause of PD is still unknown and no cure is available at...
متن کاملShaping Up Mitochondrion in Motion
We previously reported that hair follicle dermal papilla cells (HFDPCs) show two types of mitochondria, which are filamentous (untangled) and rounded (tangled) mitochondria. Plateletderived growth factor-AA (PDGF-AA) shifts the population balance toward the filamentous type that produces more adenosine triphosphate (ATP) than the other. In addition, the cells show filamentous mitochondria durin...
متن کاملMitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics in the developing and diseased heart.
The mitochondrion is a complex organelle that serves essential roles in energy transduction, ATP production, and a myriad of cellular signaling events. A finely tuned regulatory network orchestrates the biogenesis, maintenance, and turnover of mitochondria. The high-capacity mitochondrial system in the heart is regulated in a dynamic way to generate and consume enormous amounts of ATP in order ...
متن کاملA Review of Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Cellular Response
Abstract Background and Objectives Mitochondrial biogenesis is a complex process involving the coordinated expression of mitochondrial and nuclear genes, the import of the products of the latter into the organelle and turnover of this process. Mitochondrial malfunction or defects in any of the many pathways involved in mitochondrial biogenesis can lead to degenerative diseases and possibly pla...
