Abstract

Post-ischaemic reperfusion may precipitate cardiomyocyte death upon correction of intracellular acidosis due in part to mitochondrial permeability transition. We investigated whether glycine, an amino acid with poorly understood cytoprotective properties, may interfere with this mechanism. In cardiomyocyte cultures, addition of glycine during re-energization following 1 h of simulated ischaemia (NaCN/2-deoxyglucose, pH 6.4) completely prevented necrotic cell death associated with pH normalization. Glycine also protected against cell death associated with pH normalization in reoxygenated rat hearts. Glycine prevented cyclosporin-sensitive swelling and calcein release associated with re-energization in rat heart mitochondria submitted to simulated ischaemia or to Ca(2+) stress under normoxia. NMR spectroscopy revealed a marked glycine depletion in re-energized cardiomyocytes that was reversed by exposure to 3 mm glycine. These results suggest that intracellular glycine exerts a previously unrecognized inhibition on mitochondrial permeability transition in cardiac myocytes, and that intracellular glycine depletion during myocardial hypoxia/reoxygenation makes the cell more vulnerable to necrotic death.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.
