Pro-inflammatory macrophage activation does not require inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation.
EMBO Rep

Pro-inflammatory macrophage activation is a hallmark example of how mitochondria serve as signaling organelles. Oxidative phosphorylation sharply decreases upon classical macrophage activation, as mitochondria are thought to shift from ATP production towards accumulating signals that amplify effector function. However, evidence is conflicting regarding whether this collapse in respiration is essential or dispensable.

Several transcription inhibitors have been developed as cancer therapies. However, they show modest clinical activity, highlighting that our understanding of the cellular response to transcriptional inhibition remains incomplete. Here we report that potent inhibitors of transcription not only impact mRNA output but also markedly impair mRNA transcript localization and nuclear export.

Lysosomal pH dysregulation is a critical element of the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, and lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs). To study the role of lysosomes in pathophysiology, probes to analyze lysosomal size, positioning, and pH are indispensable tools. Here, we developed and characterized a ratiometric genetically encoded lysosomal pH probe, RpH-ILV, targeted to a subpopulation of lysosomal intraluminal vesicles.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Shenzhen Bay Laboratory, Shenzhen, Guandong, China.
Background: The classic mode of STING activation is through binding the cyclic dinucleotide 2'3'-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), produced by the DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), which is important for the innate immune response to microbial infection and autoimmune disease. Modes of STING activation that are independent of cGAS are much less well understood. We wanted to explore the interactome of STING on the organelles during its trafficking route and to understand the regulatory network of STING signaling.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA.
Background: Mitochondria are organelles where energy production takes place via oxidative phosphorylation, thus mitochondrial function influences the organs with large energy consumption, such as the brain. Mitochondria contain their own circular genome (mtDNA), which encodes essential proteins/RNAs involved in oxidative phosphorylation. The maternal inheritance of mtDNA, combined with a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) observed in females, suggest mtDNA may have a role in AD.
