In this report, we investigated the pathophysiology of a novel hypertension-associated mitochondrial tRNA(Ala) 5655A → G (m.5655A G) mutation. The destabilization highly conserved base pairing (A1-U72) at aminoacyl acceptor stem by an m.5655A mutation altered function. An in vitro processing analysis showed that reduced efficiency precursor 5' end cleavage catalyzed RNase P. By using cybrids constructed transferring mitochondria from lymphoblastoid cell lines derived Chinese family into DNA...
Abstract Previously, we demonstrated that CD28 and CTLA-4 signaling control Casitas-B-lineage lymphoma (Cbl)-b protein expression, which is critical for T cell activation tolerance induction. However, the molecular mechanism(s) of this regulation remains to be elucidated. In study, found Cbl-b fails undergo tyrosine phosphorylation upon CD3 stimulation because SHP-1 recruited dephosphorylates Cbl-b, whereas costimulation abrogates interaction. support finding, cells lacking display...
Abstract Defects in the posttranscriptional modifications of mitochondrial tRNAs have been linked to human diseases, but their pathophysiology remains elusive. In this report, we investigated molecular mechanism underlying a deafness-associated tRNAIle 4295A>G mutation affecting highly conserved adenosine at position 37, 3′ adjacent tRNA’s anticodon.

Protein expression GSTA3...
Mitochondrial tRNA processing defects were associated with human diseases but their pathophysiology remains elusively. The hypertension-associated m.4401A>G mutation resided at a spacer between mitochondrial tRNAMet and tRNAGln genes. An in vitro experiment revealed that the caused 59% 69% decreases 5' end efficiency of precursors, catalyzed by RNase P, respectively. Using umbilical vein endothelial cells-derived cybrids, we demonstrated all 8 tRNAs ND6 increases longer uncleaved precursors...
Mutations in the mitochondrial tRNAs have been reported to be important cause of hearing loss. However, only a few cases identified thus far and prevalence tRNA mutations hearing-impaired patients remain unclear. Here we performed mutational analysis 22 genes large cohort 887 Han Chinese subjects with loss by Sanger sequencing. The systemic evaluation putative pathogenic variants was further carried out frequency controls (<1%), phylogenetic analysis, structural...
Mammalian mitochondrial tRNA (mt-tRNA) plays a central role in the synthesis of 13 subunits oxidative phosphorylation complex system (OXPHOS). However, many aspects context-dependent expression mt-tRNAs mammals remain unknown. To investigate tissue-specific effects mt-tRNAs, we performed comprehensive analysis across five mice tissues (brain, heart, liver, skeletal muscle, and kidney) using Northern blot analysis. Striking differences 22 were observed, some cases differing by as much tenfold...
Abstract In this report, we investigated the molecular mechanism underlying a deafness-associated m.5783C &gt; T mutation that affects canonical C50-G63 base-pairing of TΨC stem tRNACys and immediately adjacent to 5′ end light-strand origin mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication (OriL). Two dimensional agarose gel electrophoresis revealed marked decreases in intermediates including ascending arm Y-fork arcs spanning OriL mutant cybrids bearing mutation. mtDNA alterations were further...
A novel versatile system combining chemotherapy and photothermal therapy for cancer cells using CuS NCs is reported. were synthesized by a solid–liquid reaction between Cu2O nanocubes thiourea. While the hollow nanocage can be used to load anticancer drugs chemotherapy, convert NIR light into heat therapy. More importantly, display exceptionally high drug loading capacity of DOX with 500 wt% release pH-controllable, which spontaneous process under intracellular conditions. Compared or alone,...
Controllable biomineralization modification of cisplatin can alter the drug biodistribution with extended circulation time in blood. These changes increase passive tumor target and decrease non-specific accumulation significantly, which improve chemotherapeutic effect minimum side effects.

Abstract In this report, we investigated the molecular mechanism underlying a deafness-associated m.7516delA mutation affecting 5′ end processing sites of mitochondrial tRNAAsp and tRNASer(UCN). An in vitro experiment demonstrated that caused aberrant tRNASer(UCN) precursors, catalyzed by RNase P. Using cytoplasmic hybrids (cybrids) derived from one hearing-impaired Chinese family bearing control, asymmetrical effects on tRNAs heavy (H)-strand light (L)-strand polycistronic transcripts....
One-pot solution mineralization can encapsulate epirubicin (EPI) and pooled siRNAs (Pgp Bcl-2 siRNAs) in calcium phosphate (CaP). The resulting EPI-RNA-CaP nanocomplexes achieve a spatial–temporal synchronous effect to full-scale overcome sophisticated multiple drug resistance (MDR) by simultaneous inhibitions of efflux intracellular anti-apoptotic defense maximize the therapeutic efficacy. As service our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied authors. Such...
Hematogenous metastatic spread causes most cancer patient deaths. Because circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are highly relevant to early spread, the capture or detection of these provides a diagnostic tool for patients with conditions. Herein, we demonstrate programmable electroactive multilayered material platform smart electrically induced "switch" that captures CTCs from biological plasma high efficiency and releases captured flexibly. The released still viable proliferative, which...
