  65. ncbi Codon-specific translational defect caused by a wobble modification deficiency in mutant tRNA from a human mitochondrial disease
    Yohei Kirino
    Department of Chemistry and Biotechnology, Graduate School of Engineering, University of Tokyo, 7 3 1 Hongo, Bunkyo ku, Tokyo 113 8656, Japan
    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:15070-5. 2004
    ..We thus concluded that the UUG codon-specific translational defect of the mutant mt tRNAs(Leu(UUR)) is the primary cause of MELAS at the molecular level. This result could explain the complex I deficiency observed clinically in MELAS...

    Naonobu Nishino
    Department of Internal Medicine, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe, Japan
    J Clin Invest 118:2808-21. 2008
    ..In addition, we found that the nature of lipid accumulation in WAT appears to be associated with maintenance of energy balance and insulin sensitivity...

    Division of Diabetes, Metabolism and Endocrinology, Department of Internal Medicine, Kobe University Graduate School of Medicine, Kobe, Japan
    Endocr J 55:509-14. 2008
    ..The presence of steatosis and enhanced oxidative stress in the liver suggested that hepatic failure was associated with mitochondrial dysfunction...
  69. ncbi A protein derived from the fusion of TAT peptide and FNK, a Bcl-x(L) derivative, prevents cochlear hair cell death from aminoglycoside ototoxicity in vivo
    Akinori Kashio
    Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan
    J Neurosci Res 85:1403-12. 2007
    ..These findings indicate that systemically administered TAT-FNK was successfully delivered to the guinea pig cochlea and effectively prevented apoptotic cell death of the cochlear HCs induced by KM and EA...
  70. ncbi Suppression of endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced caspase activation and cell death by the overexpression of Bcl-xL or Bcl-2
    Yayoi Murakami
    Department of Biochemistry, Kyoritsu University of Pharmacy, 1 5 30 Shibakoen, Tokyo 105 8512, Japan
    J Biochem 141:401-10. 2007
    ..Thus, our results suggest that protective effects of Bcl-x(L) and Bcl-2 against brefeldin A-induced cell death appear to be dependent on the regulation of JNK activation...
  71. ncbi Accumulation of somatic mutation in mitochondrial DNA and atherosclerosis in diabetic patients
    Takashi Nomiyama
    Department of Medicine, Metabolism and Endocrinology, Juntendo University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan
    Ann N Y Acad Sci 1011:193-204. 2004
    ..In conclusion, diabetes accelerates the accumulation of the somatic A3243G mutation in mitochondrial DNA, and this somatic mutation may be a marker for the duration of diabetes and atherosclerosis...
