Published: January 2017

The golden drum (Chrysochir aurenus) is an important food fish of Indo-West Pacific and China. To study the phylogenetic status, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of C. aurenus. The mitogenome is 16 505 bp in length and composed of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a control region. The gene composition and the structural arrangement of C. aurenus complete mtDNA were identical to most of other vertebrates. The phylogenetic analysis using the complete mitochondrial genome revealed that the C. aurenus might be grouped in different genera of Argyrosominae, but not belonged to Otolithinae, which was highly consistent with that based on the morphology. The present study will be helpful for the evolution and conservation genetic studies of C. aurenus.

Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a polymer that consists of a series of orthophosphates connected by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds, like those found in ATP. In mammalian mitochondria, polyP has been linked to the activation of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP). However, the details of this process are not completely understood.

Cancer photoimmunotherapy represents an intelligent and highly efficient therapeutic approach that harnesses the photothermal effect to precisely target and ablate tumor tissues, while simultaneously modulating the immune system to achieve tumor elimination. The integration of multifunctional therapeutic modalities for combined photoimmunotherapy requires advanced drug delivery systems. However, the design of a single nanoagent capable of serving as a multifunctional nanophotosensitizer remains a significant challenge.

Background: The mitochondrial cascade hypothesis suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease dementia. Recent data have shown that mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) in human blood is associated with dementia risk and cognitive function, but which specific cognitive measures or domains are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and whether this relationship is affected by health deterioration such as physical frailty or mitochondrial somatic mutations is not clear.

Methods: We measured mtDNAcn and heteroplasmies using fastMitoCalc and MitoCaller, respectively, from UK Biobank Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) data at study entry (2006-2010).

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology begins decades before clinical onset of dementia. Amyloid beta (Aβ) generally accumulates first in cognitively normal (ND) individuals, with tau and cognitive abnormalities following. AD pathologies have been found to correlate and interact with metabolic and mitochondrial outcomes in studies spanning numerous experimental paradigms.

Alzheimers Dement

McGill Univeristy, Montréal, QC, Canada.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is characterized by early decreases in cerebral glucose metabolism which are linked to reduced glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) expression at the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Another key disease hallmark is the abundance of Aβ peptides as plaques in the brain which arise from the processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Autosomal dominant inherited mutations causatively link APP itself to AD, rendering it imperative to fully understand APP's physiological functions to define the underlying biology of AD.
