Antibodies against Escherichia coli-expressed uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) and uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3) were raised by operating the blotted proteins into the spleen of minipigs. The antisera reacted more intensively with the recombinant UCP2 and UCP3 than with uncoupling protein-1 (UCP1) isolated from brown adipose tissue. Moreover, anti-UCP2 and cross-reacting anti-UCP3 antibodies identifie...
The long-term effects of uncoupled mitochondrial respiration by uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) in mammalian physiology remain controversial. Here we show that increased mitochondrial uncoupling activity of different tissues predicts longer lifespan of rats compared with mice. UCP2 reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and oxidative stress throughout the aging process in different tissue...
Distinct brain peptidergic circuits govern peripheral energy homeostasis and related behavior. Here we report that mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is expressed discretely in neurons involved in homeostatic regulation. UCP2 protein was associated with the mitochondria of neurons, predominantly in axons and axon terminals. UCP2-producing neurons were found to be the targets of periphera...
مقدمه: پیش شرطی سازی ایسکمیک یکی از مهمترین مکانیسم های مسئول افزایش مقاومت مغز به ایسکمی پس از سکته است. یکی از مهم ترین کاندیداهای پیش شرطی سازی به ایسکمی، هیپراکسی نورموباریک متناوب است. در مطالعه حاضر اثر هیپراکسی بر بیان ucp2 در مدل سکته مغزی مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. روش ها: حیوانات شامل 4 گروه (نورموکسی - شم، هیپراکسی – شم، نورموکسی – سکته و هیپراکسی – سکته)، هر گروه شامل 6 رت بودند. غلظت ا...
We have recently shown that overnight exposure of INS-1E insulinoma cells to palmitate in the presence of high glucose causes defects in both mitochondrial energy metabolism and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). Here we report experiments designed to test the involvement of mitochondrial uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2) in these glucolipotoxic effects. Measuring real-time oxygen consumpti...
Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are located in the mitochondrial inner membrane and partially dissipate the transmembrane proton electrochemical gradient. UCP2 is expressed in various human and rodent tissues, including the heart, where its functional role is unknown. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that UCP2 overexpression could protect cardiomyocytes from oxidative stress-induced ce...
The mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UCP2) is expressed in selected regions of the brain. Here we demonstrate that up-regulation of UCP2 is part of a neuroprotective set of responses to various cellular stresses in vitro and in vivo. PC12 cells, when transfected with UCP2, were protected against free radical-induced cell death. Seizure activity was associated with elevated UCP2 levels and mito...
OBJECTIVE UCP2 is a mitochondrial membrane transporter expressed in white adipose tissue and involved in regulation of energy balance. In this present study, we examined the depot specific comparison of UCP2 gene expression in different metabolic states, in order to explore the potential role of UCP2 in human obesity and diabetes. We also determined UCP2's association with adiponectin and insul...
OBJECTIVES Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a process of lung vascular remodeling, which can lead to right heart dysfunction and significant morbidity. The underlying mechanisms leading to PH are not well understood, and therapies are limited. Using intermittent hypoxia (IH) as a model of oxidant-induced PH, we identified an important role for endothelial cell mitophagy via mitochondrial uncoupli...
Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) is known to promote neuroprotection in many forms of neurological pathologies including Parkinson's disease. Here, we examined the hypothesis that UCP2 also mediates aspects of normal nigrostriatal dopamine (DA) function. Mice lacking UCP2 exhibited reduced dopamine turnover in the striatum as measured by the 3,4-dihydoxyphenylacetic acid/dopamine (DOPAC/DA) ratio, r...
