Podcasts about Mitochondrial DNA

Most people have no idea that something as tiny as algae is one of the most powerful foods for longevity, energy, and hormone balance. But what if just a few tiny tablets a day could support your mitochondria (those little powerhouses in your cells), detoxify your body, and even ease menopause symptoms? Catharine Arnston, algae expert and Founder of ENERGYbits®, breaks down the science behind spirulina and chlorella—two superfoods packed with antioxidants, protein, and essential nutrients for women's health. We're talking detoxification, hormone support, and even slowing down aging—yes, really! Catharine breaks it all down in the simplest way, so you'll walk away knowing exactly why mitochondria are the secret to balancing hormones and feeling your best. We chat about how spirulina protects your cells from stress and damage, why chlorella is a natural detoxifier your body craves, and how both can support estrogen, progesterone, and overall vitality. She even shares super easy ways to add these into your routine without overhauling your life. If you've ever felt like your body isn't bouncing back the way it used to, this conversation is a must-listen. And if you're ready to get serious about taking back control of your hormones, my Magic Menopause program was made for you. It's all about natural, practical ways to feel like yourself again—because you deserve to feel amazing at every stage.

They also covered a few other cases that impacted the use of DNA cases moving forward! PLUS - why did Lee move from the prosecution side to the criminal defense side! MORE about the case - In September 1996, a new evidence tool was used for the FIRST TIME in a United States courtroom. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evidence was introduced in a Tennessee murder prosecution against twenty-seven-year-old Paul Ware. Without the mtDNA results there was only circumstantial evidence pointing to Ware as the suspect in the rape and murder of a fouryear-old girl. The defense claimed that another man in the home, the babysitter, had framed Ware, who was found drunk and asleep next to the body of the child.

In this episode of Research Like a Pro, Diana and Nicole explore the use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and WikiTree in genealogical research. They explain that mtDNA is inherited from our mothers, with only females passing it on, and how it differs from autosomal DNA by coming from a distant maternal ancestor. They discuss how mtDNA testing reveals haplogroups, genetic population groups with a common ancestor, and share their personal testing experiences with 23andMe, FamilyTree DNA, and Living DNA, highlighting the northern European origins of their haplogroup, U5b1c2b. The hosts emphasize that while mtDNA changes very little over generations, making it difficult to pinpoint recent common ancestors, it is useful for confirming or refuting specific female ancestral lines. They discuss integrating DNA information into WikiTree, a collaborative and free online platform, which allows users to add mtDNA haplogroups to family profiles, enhancing genealogical research by sharing DNA data with other researchers. They provide practical tips for getting started on WikiTree, including creating a login, adding ancestors, and integrating DNA information from various testing services. They also highlight unique features of WikiTree, such as the DNA Ancestors view, which shows the inheritance of different types of DNA from ancestors. This episode offers valuable insights into using mtDNA and WikiTree as powerful tools in genealogical research.

How does mitochondrial health affect the body's overall health? Today, the Founder and Chief Science Officer of C60, Ken Swartz joins me to discuss mitochondrial health in the body. We discuss the power of the mitochondria, its connection to oxidative radicals and the positive impact supplements like C60 can have on the mitochondria. Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist,” is the founder and Chief Science Officer of C60 Power, a health and wellness company committed to delivering the highest quality Carbon 60 products available. Ken earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Colorado at Denver and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Arizona State University. He spent the early part of his career as a secondary school teacher, and he continues to be passionate about helping and educating people. Ken has run several research science laboratories over the course of his career and discovered C60 while developing the MOXY fusion reactor. During his research, he became aware of the powerful free radical neutralizing properties of C60. He first began using C60 as a radiation protectant while leading a fusion research project. About 8 months after Ken started taking C60, he had a positive experience occur with his health.* Ken's personal experience with C60 was so profound that he decided to dedicate himself to the research, study, and manufacturing of C60 Buckminsterfullerene products. In 2016, Ken founded C60 Power which offers 99.99% pure sublimated Carbon 60, (never exposed to solvents), delivered in 100% certified organic oils, made in the USA.

Prepare to have your minds blown by a fantastic story about the tiny engines in our bodies, the mitochondria. When Mother Nature was making her blueprint of life, she put DNA in our cells, not just in the central part, the nucleus, but also in our mitochondria. Imagine this - each tiny cell in your body is like a busy city filled with 500 to 2000 mitochondria!- **An intriguing journey into our body's smallest workers, the mitochondria**- **Discover how Mother Nature put DNA in two places in our cells**- **Picture our cells as bustling cities full of mitochondria****Diving into the Mitochondrial Mystery**Our adventure today takes us into a fantastic research study that reveals some secrets about our mitochondrial DNA. It shows that mitochondrial DNA gets more extensive and longer-lasting damage compared to nuclear DNA when they face something called oxidative stress. And oxidative stress is just a fancy way of saying the usual wear and tear of life.- **Exploring a significant research study about mitochondrial DNA**- **Learning about the impact of oxidative stress on our DNA**- **Understanding oxidative stress as a part of everyday life****The Safe Zone: Our Nuclear DNA**Now, let's take a look at our nuclear DNA. Imagine it like a top-security vault, like Fort Knox, but for DNA. The DNA inside your nucleus is protected, much like precious gold in a safe.- **Visualizing the DNA inside our nucleus**- **Understanding the nucleus as a top-security vault for our DNA****The Underdogs: Our Mitochondrial DNA**But now, let's turn to the mitochondrial DNA. Picture it like a big green ball (that's the mitochondrion) with DNA inside it. The surprising fact? This DNA has no protection. It's out in the open with no armor.- **Examining the mitochondrial DNA**- **Understanding the vulnerability of mitochondrial DNA without any protection****Impact of Oxidative Stress on Mitochondrial DNA**And what does this mean for your health? It means that anything causing oxidative stress or inflammation can harm your DNA. Yes, your mitochondrial DNA is always at risk, like a sitting duck to these harmful things. - **Discussing the consequences of oxidative stress on mitochondrial DNA**- **Relating the risks to our health and wellbeing**Getting to know these basics helps us look after these tiny power generators inside our cells. This way, we can keep our bodies running smoothly for a long time. So, tune in to this episode, and let's dive deep into the secrets of our cells!- **Emphasizing the importance of understanding these basics**- **Encouraging listeners to tune in and learn more about their own bodies**

Given the biblical accounts of Creation and the Flood, can we draw any conclusions about what we would expect in genetics? That depends on status of the species in question (e.g., 'clean' vs 'unclean and 'on the Ark' vs 'not on the Ark'), its population history, the amount of created diversity initially engineered into that species/kind, difference in mutation rates and DNA repair systems, and things like that. In the end, no, we cannot make many direct predictions, yet much of the genetic data and observations still point straight to the Bible. The biblical model is expansive enough to take in a range of observations. Notes and links: Tallulah Gorge Orphan Brigade Park Jeanson N. 2015.

Abstract: The mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is packaged into discrete protein-DNA complexes called nucleoids. mtDNA packaging factor TFAM (mitochondrial transcription factor-A) promotes nucleoid compaction and is required for mtDNA replication. Here, we investigate how changing TFAM levels affects mtDNA in the Caenorhabditis elegans germ line. We show that increasing germline TFAM activity boosts mtDNA number and significantly increases the relative proportion of a selfish mtDNA mutant, uaDf5. We conclude that TFAM levels must be tightly controlled to ensure appropriate mtDNA composition in the germ line. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Abstract: Pathogenic mutations in LRRK2 cause Parkinson's disease (PD). The G2019S variant is the most common, which results in abnormally high kinase activity. Compounds that target LRRK2 kinase activity are currently being developed and tested in clinical trials. We recently found that G2019S LRRK2 causes mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage and treatment with multiple classes of LRRK2 kinase inhibitors at concentrations associated with dephosphorylation of LRRK2 reversed mtDNA damage to healthy control levels. Because maintaining the normal function of LRRK2 in heterozygous G2019S LRRK2 carriers while specifically targeting the G2019S LRRK2 activity could have an advantageous safety profile, we explored the efficacy of a G2019S mutant selective LRRK2 inhibitor to reverse mtDNA damage in G2019S LRRK2 models and patient cells relative to non-selective LRRK2 inhibitors. Potency of LRRK2 kinase inhibition by EB-42168, a G2019S mutant LRRK2 kinase inhibitor, and MLi-2, a nonselective inhibitor, was determined by measuring phosphorylation of LRRK2 at Ser935 and/or Ser1292 using quantitative western immunoblot analysis. The Mito DNADX assay, a novel system that allows for the accurate real-time quantification of mtDNA damage in a 96-well platform, was performed in parallel. We confirmed that EB-42168 selectively inhibits LRRK2 phosphorylation on G2019S LRRK2 relative to wild-type LRRK2. On the other hand, MLi-2 was equipotent for wild-type and G2019S LRRK2. Acute treatment with EB-42168 inhibited LRRK2 phosphorylation and also restored mtDNA damage to healthy control levels. Precision medicine is a common approach in modern day cancer research that is not yet routinely applied to neurodegenerative diseases. Abrogation of mtDNA damage with mutant selective tool inhibitor EB-42168 demonstrates the promise of a precision medicine approach for LRRK2 G2019S PD. Levels of mtDNA damage may serve as a potential pharmacodynamic biomarker of altered kinase activity that could be useful for small molecule development and clinical trials.

Today on the podcast, Mason is joined by Osteopath and long-time friend Cole Clayton. Cole is a unique and brilliant osteopath with a specialised interest in breathing and paediatric cranio-facial growth. He is also the creator of Baseline Breathing- an education programme for those wanting to journey into understanding the practical application of breathing physiology and breathing techniques. As someone who grew up suffering from undiagnosed sleep-disordered breathing, Cole is passionate about helping kids with the inextricably linked sleep/breath/behavioural problems realise their innate intelligence through breathing and airway early intervention. This conversation provides a fascinating insight into child development issues of the face, tongue, and airways that translate into sleep and breathing issues. If you're a mouth breather or want to understand what's at play on a deeper level underneath the inability to breathe through the nose (with ease)- I highly recommend tuning in to this episode. Cole also shares why he deeply aligns with cranial osteopathy. A philosophy of osteopathy that works with embryological growth forces, and honours the body's inherent wisdom and self-healing capacity.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.12.511955v1?rss=1 Authors: Newman, L. E., Tadepalle, N., Novak, S. W., Schiavon, C. R., Rojas, G. R., Chevez, J. A., Lemersal, I., Medina, M., Rocha, S., Towers, C. G., Grotjahn, D. A., Manor, U., Shadel, G. S. Abstract: Maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes essential subunits of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation system, but is also a major damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that engages innate immune sensors when released into the cytoplasm, outside of cells or into circulation1. This function of mtDNA contributes to antiviral resistance, but unfortunately also causes pathogenic inflammation in many disease contexts2. Cells experiencing mtDNA stress due to depletion of the mtDNA-packaging protein, Transcription Factor A, Mitochondrial (TFAM), or HSV-1 infection exhibit elongated mitochondria, mtDNA depletion, enlargement of nucleoids (mtDNA-protein complexes), and activation of cGAS/STING innate immune signaling via mtDNA released into the cytoplasm3. However, the relationships between altered mitochondrial dynamics and mtDNA-mediated activation of the cGAS-STING pathway remain unclear. Here, we show that entire enlarged nucleoids are released from mitochondria that remain bound to TFAM and colocalize with cGAS. These nucleoids arise at sites of mtDNA replication due to a block in mitochondrial fission at a stage when endoplasmic reticulum (ER) actin polymerization would normally commence, which we propose is a fission checkpoint to ensure that mtDNA has completed replication and is competent for segregation into daughter mitochondria. Released nucleoids also colocalize with the early endosomal marker RAB5 as well as the late endosomal marker RAB7 in TFAM-deficient cells and in response to mtDNA stress caused by the HSV-1 UL12.5 protein. Loss of RAB7 increases interferon stimulated gene (ISG) expression. Thus, we propose that defects in mtDNA replication and/or segregation enact a late mitochondrial fission checkpoint that, if persistent, leads to selective removal of dysfunctional nucleoids by a mitochondrial-endosomal pathway. Early steps in this pathway are prone to mtDNA release and cGAS-STING activation, but the immunostimulatory mtDNA is ultimately disposed of through a mechanism involving RAB7-containing late endosomes to prevent excessive innate immune signaling. This mtDNA quality control pathway might represent a therapeutic target to prevent mtDNA-mediated inflammation and associated pathology. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. David begins by sharing news that he has been featured in an article about his witch ancestor in London's Guardian newspaper. In Family Histoire News, an Englishman has learned he descends from some Bidens. Those Bidens! Now he wants an invitation to the White House! Then, another metal detectorist in the UK has made quite a find… in his own backyard. Catch what he discovered. Then, another member of the famous Von Trapp family has passed away. David next talks about a unique type of DNA analysis that has proven the descendancy of the great grandson of Sitting Bull. And finally… a World War I ammunition shell has been found to be loaded… with many things other than powder and weaponry. Find out what was in it! Next, Paul Woodbury of Legacy Tree Genealogists visits with Fisher for two segments. The first talks about mitochondrial DNA. What can you use it for in your research? And what might be expecting too much? Paul explains. In part two, Paul Woodbury discusses “confirmation bias.” Are you guilty of confirming your researching by an incorrect analysis? Paul explains what NOT to do as you begin your genetic genealogy. Then, David returns for two rounds of Ask Us Anything. That's all this week on Extreme Genes, America's Family History Show!

Ohio has its first success in identifying skeletal remains using a technology not previously available to the state's crime labs. Twenty-two-year-old Dewayne Lewis went missing from his Toledo home in 2013. This spring, hunters discovered human bones. In November, detectives at the Bureau of Criminal Investigations (BCI) were able to identify those remains as Lewis thanks to a partnership with the global research and development organization Battelle. Battelle picked out the instrumentation and processes that would work best for BCI to take mitochondrial DNA and test it using massively parallel sequencing. Mitochondrial DNA lives in the energy pockets of the cells and is passed down on the mother's side. It's present in tens of thousands of copies of every cell in the body, and because there are so many, scientists are able to generate a profile even when they don't have much to work with, as was the case of Dewayne Lewis. "We now may be able to match, identify them with a missing

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.11.13.381475v1?rss=1 Authors: Pabis, K. Abstract: The "theory of resistant biomolecules" posits that long-lived species show resistance to molecular damage at the level of their biomolecules. Here, we test this hypothesis in the context of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as it implies that predicted mutagenic DNA motifs should be inversely correlated with species maximum lifespan (MLS). First, we confirmed that guanine-quadruplex (GQ) and direct repeat (DR) motifs are mutagenic, as they associate with mtDNA deletions in the human major arc of mtDNA, while also adding mirror repeat (MR) and intramolecular triplex motifs to a growing list of potentially mutagenic features. What is more, triplex motifs showed disease-specific associations with deletions and an apparent interaction with GQ motifs. Surprisingly, even though DR, MR and GQ motifs were associated with mtDNA deletions, their correlation with MLS was explained by the biased base composition of mtDNA. Only triplex motifs negatively correlated with MLS and these results remained stable even after adjusting for body mass, phylogeny, mtDNA base composition and effective number of codons. Taken together, our work highlights the importance of base composition for the comparative biogerontology of mtDNA and suggests that future research on mitochondrial triplex motifs is warranted.

For a long time, biologists believed that our DNA resided only in the nucleus, the large organelle acting as the control centre in our cells. It wasn't until 1963, when scientists Margrit and Sylvan Nass at Stockholm University discovered DNA fibres in mitochondria using electron microscopy. Our mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) accounts for a small portion of our total DNA. In fact, it contains just 40 of the 20,000 to 25,000 protein-coding genes in our body, however, it is notably distinct from nuclear DNA. Unlike nuclear DNA, which comes from both parents, mitochondrial DNA comes only from the mother. In this podcast, I explain the significance of this key biological difference, and explore what other roles this fascinating molecule plays in our bodies.

In episode seven of the 2020 R&D Season, Just Science interviews Kimberly Sturk-Andreaggi, a Research Scientist at the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory, about the development of entire mitogenome reference data using an automated high-throughput sequencing workflow. Disaster victim identification comes with a unique set of hurdles. Poor-quality DNA, decades-old samples, and a lack of relative referential data can make the identification of victims from current and past conflicts challenging. This is the reason that the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory uses mitochondrial DNA as their primary testing method. Stay tuned as our guest discusses the utility of mitochondrial DNA and a method for developing entire mitogenome reference data in this episode of Just Science. This season is funded by the National Institute of Justice’s Forensic Technology Center of Excellence.

Mitochondria lie at the center of life. At conception, we inherit our mother's mitochondrial DNA and our electricity for life is turned on. The mitochondrial journey is much like our life's journey. In fact, as we age the mitochondrial volume and output may start to decline and we then start to experience the effects of aging. In this episode, Dr. Chris Meletis, author of the book, MitoLongevity,speaks with us deeply about the role of mitochondria in health. We discuss the mitochondrial role in the immune system, inflammation, hormonal health, and mental health. We discuss evaluation for mitochondrial decline, nutrition and lifestyle factors, and so much more. enjoy... Show outline 1. Philosophy about Mitochondria 2.

Cindy S.H.:                         Hi. Welcome to Discover CircRes, the monthly podcast of the American Heart Association's journal Circulation Research. I'm your host, Cindy St. Hilaire, and my goal is to bring you highlights of articles published in the Circ Research Journal as well as have in-depth conversations with senior scientists and the junior trainees who have led the most exciting discoveries in our current issues. Today is our premier episode, so I want to take some time to introduce myself, give you a little bit of background about the history of the journal, and then have a conversation with our new editor in chief, Dr. Jane Freedman, and my social media editor partner in crime, Dr. Milka Koupenova. Cindy S.H.:                         First, a little bit about me. I'm an assistant professor of medicine and bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh. My lab is part of the division of cardiology and we're also a member of the Pittsburgh Heart, Lung and Blood Vascular Medicine Institute. I'm still a relatively new PI. I'm still learning as I go. One of the strengths of being a new PI in the current time is the amazing network we have through social media, whether it's through listening to podcasts or through Twitter or through select groups like one of my favorites, New PI Slack. Really one of my personal goals of starting this podcast for Circ Research is to have a career development angle. Because career development is so fresh in my mind and it's really something I want to incorporate into this podcast, we're hoping we can reach out to more junior trainees through these mediums. Really that's the impetus for Dr. Freedman wanting to have specific social media editors at the Circulation Research Journal. Cindy S.H.:                         I'm very honored to be the first host of this podcast and I'm very excited for this opportunity. As a team, Milka and I hope to expose the larger community to not only the most current and exciting discoveries in cardiovascular research but also a behind-the-scenes look of what it takes to get high-impact research done and published and planned and funded, and also talk about some of the maybe the non-bench aspects of this job, the networking, the behind-the-scenes look that really you learn on the fly as you go. Hopefully we can expose more people to these on-the-fly things in a slightly more rigorous manner. Cindy S.H.:                         Before I go into the articles summarized in this week's podcast, I want to give a very big thank you to Ruth Williams. Ruth is the person who writes the content of the In This Issue which is featured in every issue of the journal Circulation Research, and that content is extremely helpful in deciding which articles we're going to focus on in this podcast and also for helping me form the conversations and discussions. Thank you, Ruth, for all your hard work. Cindy S.H.:                         Now I'm going to highlight three articles that were featured in the June 21st issue of Circulation Research. The first is entitled Relationship Between Serum Alpha-Tocopherol and Overall and Cause-Specific Mortality: A 30-Year Prospective Cohort Analysis. The first author is Jiaqi Huang and the corresponding author is Demetrius Albanes , who are both at the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics at the National Cancer Institute, which is at the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland. Alpha-tocopherol is the more formal name for vitamin E, and vitamin E is an essential fat-soluble vitamin. By essential, that means that while your body absolutely needs it, it does not produce it itself. Therefore we need to consume products containing vitamin E. We do that by eating vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, whole grains and certain fruits and vegetables. Previously, population-based studies have shown inconsistent associations between circulating vitamin E and risk of overall death or death due to specific diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Cindy S.H.:                         To look more closely at cause-specific mortality, Huang and colleagues studied a cohort of close to 30,000 Finnish men, which is a huge study. Added to that, these men were in their 50s and 60s at the start of the study and then continued for the next 30 years of their life to be in this study. It's frankly an amazing achievement to keep that many individuals enrolled. From approximately 24,000 deaths, so about 80% of the original cohort, the authors adjusted for factors such as age and confounding things like smoking. They found that vitamin E levels were inversely associated with the risk of death from a variety of causes. What that means is that higher levels of vitamin E associated with lower risk of death. All of those causes of death that they found were cardiovascular disease, heart disease, stroke, cancer, and respiratory disease. This large prospective cohort analysis provides very strong evidence that higher vitamin E levels means greater protection. Cindy S.H.:                         It's really interesting to note though that this data did not seem to associate with a reduced risk of death by diabetes or, for that matter, injury and accidents, which I guess kind of makes sense. The authors say these results indicate that vitamin E may influence longevity, but they also highlight the need for further studies, specifically in more ethnically diverse populations and of course in women, because we all know a major limiting factor of a majority of cardiovascular studies is the fact that often there are just not enough women in these studies. But really that's a push now to include not only women but more ethnically and geographically diverse populations. Cindy S.H.:                         The second article I want to highlight is titled Mitochondria Are a subset of Extracellular Vesicles Released by Activated Monocytes and Induce Type I IFN and TNF Responses in Endothelial Cells . The first authors are Florian Puhm and Taras Afonyushkin , and the senior author is Christopher Binder. All three are in the Department of Laboratory Medicine, the Medical University of Vienna, in Vienna, Austria. This group is also part of the Research Center of Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Cindy S.H.:                         I want to talk about this paper because I found that title extremely provocative. Extracellular vesicles or microvesicles are small particles that can be released from cells. These particles can act as cell-cell communicators. They can hold a variety of substances such as proteins and micro RNAs and minerals and all sorts of things that are derived from inside the cell. The matrix vesicle is then budded off. Matrix vesicles released from monocytes after bacterial LPS stimulation, so a stimulus that induces an inflammatory response, these matrix vesicles have been shown to contain mitochondrial proteins. Mitochondrial DNA-containing matrix vesicles have been reported in the mouse model of inflammation. From this premise, from these prior studies, Dr. Puhm and colleagues hypothesized that the mitochondrial content of matrix vesicles might actively contribute to pro-inflammatory effects. Cindy S.H.:                         What they then did was show that monocytic cells release free mitochondria and also matrix vesicles that contain mitochondria within them. These free and matrix vesicle-encapsulated mitochondria were shown to drive enothelial cells to induce inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha and interferon. These circulating matrix vesicles were collected also in human volunteers that were injected with this same inflammatory substance, LPS. These circulating matrix vesicles isolated from humans also induced endothelial cell cytokine production. Very interestingly, inhibition of the mitochondrial activity drastically reduced the pro-inflammatory capacity of these matrix vesicles. Cindy S.H.:                         Together, this result suggests that the released mitochondria, whether it's free or whether it's encapsulated in a matrix vesicle, may be a key player in certain inflammatory diseases. This study shows that in addition to their central role in cellular metabolism, mitochondria, whether encapsulated or free, can actively participate in an inflammatory response in a cell other than the cell it was native in, which is just intriguing to think about. This work provides new insight to the contribution of mitochondria to the content and biological activity of extracellular vesicles. It also might suggest that perhaps targeting mitochondria and their release may represent a novel point for therapeutic intervention in inflammatory pathologies. Cindy S.H.:                         The last article I want to highlight is titled Macrophage Smad3 Protects the Infarcted Heart, Stimulating Phagocytosis and Regulating Inflammation . The first author is Bijun Chen and the senior author is Nikolaos Frangogiannis . When tissues are injured, there is localized increase in the cytokine TGF-beta. However, depending on conditions, this TGF-beta can function to stimulate macrophages to adopt either pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory phenotypes. To complicate matters more, the signaling pathway for both the pro- and anti-inflammatory phenotypes involves activation of the intracellular signaling protein Smad3. Inflammation, whether too much or too little, can influence the outcome of injuries, including injuries such as myocardial infarctions. An infarction, for those of you unfamiliar with the term, is a localized area of dead tissue and that results from a lack of blood supply. In this case, an infarction, a myocardial infarction, is essentially a heart attack that stops blood flow through the coronaries and causes death in the cardiac tissue and cells. Cindy S.H.:                         The authors hypothesized that in the infarcted myocardium, activation of TGF-beta and Smad signaling and macrophages may regulate repair and remodeling. They had a very specific question about a very specific cell type in the context of the whole heart. To address the role of Smad3, they utilized mice that were engineered to lack Smad3 in the myeloid lineage which produces macrophage cells. They found that these mice with myeloid cell-specific deletion of Smad3 had reduced survival compared to control mice. Additionally, the hearts from the animals with the myeloid cell-specific deletion of Smad3 exhibited increased adverse remodeling and greater impairment of function. That's a really interesting finding. The heart tissue itself was the same. All that was different were the cells of the myeloid lineage. Then to dig after what cells were mediating this effect, the investigators moved on to in vitro studies. They found that Smad3-lacking cells themselves showed reduced phagocytic activity, sustained expression of pro-inflammatory genes, and reduced production of anti-inflammatory mediators when compared with control macrophages. Cindy S.H.:                         In summary, these results suggest Smad3 is necessary for macrophages in the area of the infarction to transition to an anti-inflammatory phagocytic phenotype that protects against excess remodeling. However, we cannot go after global inhibition of Smad3 as a potential therapy post myocardial infarction, and that's because inhibition of Smad3 in cardiomyocytes is actually protective against the infarction. Inhibition in a macrophage is bad, but inhibition in a cardiomyocyte is good. Any potential Smad3-modifying therapies really needs to be designed to be cell type-specific and be able to be deployed to activate that cell type. Cindy S.H.:                         In addition to science, I love history. I thought I would take this opportunity of the first podcast to share with you a little bit of history about the Journal of Circulation Research. Circulation Research is now in its 66th year, but its origins can be traced to 1944. That was when the AHA established a council that was attempting to organize its research arm and its professional program arms. The AHA journal Circulation was already in existence, but in 1951 the executive committee decided to launch a basic research supplement, and it was called just that: Circulation Basic Research Supplement. But a few years later, Circulation Research was to be its own publication because of the interest and the excitement around the basic research supplements. The quote that I'm going to read is from that first executive committee meeting and there they wanted Circulation Research to be the authoritative new journal for investigators of basic sciences as they apply to the heart and circulation. Cindy S.H.:                         It's a fun little subgroup that they list after that. They list in anatomy, biology, biochemistry, morphology, which I just think is so neat to think about, pathology, physics, pharmacology, and others. It's interesting to think about what that would be today if we were now finding this journal. Biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology. It's fun to think about how much science has changed since they began this journal. Really the broader goal was to integrate and disseminate new knowledge. Leading that was Dr. Carl Wiggers, who was the first editor in chief of Circ Research. At the time, he was the head of physiology at Western Reserve University, and he's often referred to as the dean of physiology, as his research really provided much of the fundamental knowledge regarding the pressures in the heart and the vessels of the body and how they interact. Cindy S.H.:                         I actually went back and looked at some of the first titles in Volume One, Issue One, of Circ Research. It's really kind of neat. Some of them could be completely relevant today. I'm just going to read a few. Nucleotide Metabolism and Cardiac Activity, Fundamental Differences in the Reactivity of Blood Vessels in Skin Compared to Those in the Muscle. That was at the VRIC the other day. Haemodynamic Studies of Tricuspid Stenosis of Rheumatic Origin. Reading these for the first time I actually got chills because my two themes of my lab are both in that first Volume One, Issue One, of that journal. I study the extracellular nucleotide aCD73 and its impact on vascular homeostasis. I also study calcific aortic valve disease and are hugely curious about the role of inflammation and things like rheumatic heart disease in the progression of the disease. It's amazing how much science has changed, but yet how so much has stayed the same. Cindy S.H.:                         Dr. Wiggers wrote a few gems, a few quotes in his biography that I want to share with you. I find them inspiring and also humbling. The first is, "Research is a gamble in which the laws of chance favor the loser. The loser must remain a good sport," which I think is perfect to think about in science. I really wish I had read that after my first RO1 was triaged. The next two are more about the science writing and I think they're great not only for when we're thinking about papers but also grants. The first is, "Readers are greatly influenced in their judgment of a research project by literary style. A poor presentation can easily damage the best investigation," which is so true. No matter how good your science is, if you can't communicate it, it doesn't matter. And lastly, "A good paper, like a good glass of beer, should be neither largely foam nor flat. It should have just the right amount of head of foam to make it palatable." Cindy S.H.:                         With these nuggets of wisdom, we're now going to talk with Drs. Jane Freedman, who's now the editor in chief of Circ Research, and Dr. Milka Koupenova, who is the social media editor. Before I really introduce Jane, I want to recognize all of the former editors in chief of Circ Research, Dr. Carl Wiggers, Dr. Carl Schmidt, Dr. Eugene Landis, Dr. Julius Comroe, Dr. Robert Berne, Dr. Brian Hoffman, Dr. Francis Abboud, Dr. Harry Fozzard, Dr. Stephen Vatner, Dr. Eduardo Marbán, Dr. Roberto Bolli, and now Dr. Jane Freedman. Welcome, Jane. Thank you so much for this opportunity and congratulations on your new position. Dr. Freedman:                   Thank you very much. Cindy S.H.:                         I was wondering if you could just introduce yourself to the listeners and give us a little bit about your background. Dr. Freedman:                   Sure. I am the Budnitz Professor of Medicine at the University of Massachusetts, and I originally became interested in a scientific career while attending Yale University where I was both an architecture and geology major. Cindy S.H.:                         Interesting. Dr. Freedman:                   Yes, very interesting. Then, not exactly knowing what I wanted to do, I worked for a year as a research assistant for my later-to-be mentor Dr. Joe Loscalzo at Brigham and Women's Hospital. There one day he sent me up to the intensive care unit and said we need to get a tube of blood from someone who was in the throes of having a myocardial infarction. Really at that point I became hooked. Why was that person having a heart attack, and using their blood how could I figure out whether they would live, die, do well, not do well, or yield new things that might help us cure or diagnose people with heart attacks later on? After that. I went to Tufts Medical School. I did my residency and cardiology fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Massachusetts General Hospital. After working at several different places, I have wound up at the University of Massachusetts where I am in the Division of Cardiology and where my laboratory currently resides. Cindy S.H.:                         Excellent. As the new editor in chief, what do you see as your vision for the journal? Dr. Freedman:                   I'm in a very fortunate position to be taking over a wonderful journal from an incredibly dedicated group of editors and associate editors and other supportive editors. Scientific pursuits and reporting and publications are really evolving at a rapid clip, so we hope to have several things happen over the next few years to survive and thrive. The first thing is we hope to define and expand Circulation Research's scientific identity. We want to extend its already outstanding portfolio of science that really demonstrates how elegant basic and translational mechanisms and pathways are part of a greater web of cardiovascular disease and stroke. This will include an increasingly diverse group of basic and translational sciences and they'll touch on both fundamental studies as well as how they translate to human disease. We also want to continue to pursue the excellence that Circulation Research already epitomizes and we want to extend its brand both to an increasingly diverse group of members, both nationally and internationally. Dr. Freedman:                   Circulation Research already has really wonderful publication metrics such as turnaround time, time to review, and we hope to maintain that so as to be a journal of choice for an increasingly growing number of investigators. We would also very much like to have greater interface with the American Heart Association. A lot of the research on our pages is funded by the American Heart Association, and the majority of science that the American Heart Association currently funds is basic cardiovascular science. We hope to have greater interface and help our users of the journal understand what the American Heart Association can do for them and for their scientific pursuits. Dr. Freedman:                   Last and very importantly, we really want to attract early and mid-career investigators to the journal. We already have some really nice programs that the previous editorship has started, such as Meet The First Author, but we would also like to be a site for education of how you can review papers, have a junior editor program and other types of programs that will help early and mid-career investigators in their future. One of the ways we're going to be doing that is to have enhanced social media programs. Cindy S.H.:                         Great. I really like that idea of having the junior editors because I think the best learning experience I had about how to write a grant did not happen until I actually served on a study section, because it was there you actually can understand all of those comments you got on your first grant that was triaged and why they were said. I think that is a key and really important aspect. Dr. Freedman:                   That's a perfect analogy because you want to remove the black box that people think is happening when they send their manuscripts in. There's so many reasons why manuscripts succeed and don't succeed, and we really do want to be as transparent as possible and we do want to educate investigators as much as possible about the process. Cindy S.H.:                         Actually, could you maybe tell us a little bit about that process? I made all my figures, I formatted my paper according to the instructions, I hit submit. Black box. What happens? What's the next step? Dr. Freedman:                   What's the next step? Cindy S.H.:                         What do you do? What does an editor in chief actually do? Dr. Freedman:                   I do have to say that none of this would happen, especially in the incredibly quick turnaround time, if we didn't have amazing support and help in our office that happens to be in Baltimore. The people there are just incredible. They make sure that papers move through. It's really 24/7. Our group has not been at it for very long, but I know Dr. Bolli's group as well as our group, people are handling manuscripts as fast as they really come in. We see the manuscript, they get quality checked. We try not to be too onerous with the first steps. Then typically they go to one of the associate or deputy editors who will handle them to send out for review. Cindy S.H.:                         Is that based on keywords or the title or how is that decided? Dr. Freedman:                   Sometimes it's based on keywords, so careful with your keywords. A lot of times, because each of the associate editors has an area of expertise that hopefully covers what your science is interested in, they will know experts in the field. We very heavily rely on our editorial board. We have an amazing editorial board at Circulation Research, and amazing contributions from the BCBS council. These individuals have over the years and currently provided just tireless and unsung, devoted help to making the journal run smoothly. It's a pretty quick turnaround time. Then the decision made based on the reviews of the article. Occasionally articles come in and they're not suitable for the journal because they're not what we perceive as what our readers would be interested in. Sometimes those articles don't go up for review. We don't want to keep them caught up, so we send them back right away. Dr. Freedman:                   When the articles come back in with the reviews, we're going to be discussing them at a weekly meeting. Other viewpoints will weigh in, and then we make a decision whether it's an accept, whether it's a revise, whether it needs a lot more science. That's called a de novo. Sometimes we think it's more suitable for one of the other 11 American Heart Journals and we might suggest that you consider sending it to that journal and we consult with that journal's editor. Cindy S.H.:                         Interesting. All that happens with about 14 days. Dr. Freedman:                   That's supposed to happen with 14 days. Cindy S.H.:                         It does pretty regularly based on the stats. That's amazing. One of the initiatives you mentioned was really the role of social media. Now I would like to introduce Dr Milka Koupenova, who is the co social media editor alongside me. Before I let Milka talk, I really have to be honest and say that my graduate school days were some of the best of my life. It was in part because Milka I were both in the same lab. We overlapped by a couple of years under the amazing mentorship of Dr. Katya Ravid. Every time we get together, all we'd talk about was how can we be like Katya? Maybe someday we'll actually have a podcast where we can get Katya in here and actually record all her nuggets of wisdom. Dr. Koupenova:                 I think the same thing about Katya. Cindy S.H.:                         How can it be more like Katya? But for now, Milka, welcome. Thank you. If you could just introduce yourself and give us a little bit about your background. Dr. Koupenova:                 Hi, everybody. My name is Milka Koupenova. I am an assistant professor at University of Massachusetts Medical School. Briefly about me, as Cindy mentioned, I did my PhD at Boston University and I studied at that time metabolism in atherosclerosis. Then I had this great opportunity to join this lab in thrombosis that studied these little cell fragments called platelets, which I knew something but not that much about. I joined Dr. Freedman lab as a postdoctoral fellow, and actually my interest evolved to be very much in platelet immunobiology and how platelets may contribute to thrombotic disease during viral infections. Luckily for me, I had two angels that I wanted to be. One of them was Katya Ravid, as you mentioned, and the other one was Dr. Freedman. Both set up a great example of scientists and how to do science in life. Cindy S.H.:                         Wonderful. Excellent. Thank you. I won't lie. I don't know if you feel this way. I definitely feel a little nervous about being a social media editor. I'm talking in a room to a box with a microphone on me and I don't know who's going to be listening. That's also exciting for me too. I get to disseminate all this cool knowledge and share our basic research with this huge audience. What are you most nervous about and excited about? Dr. Koupenova:                 You're doing the podcast, so I don't have to worry about that, that that particular part. I am quite excited actually about everything that's going to surround popularizing the science at Circulation Research. I think in the time that we live in and when social media is a huge part of our life, we definitely need to engage the community, scientific or lay, and communicate our ideas. I'm super excited about the creative part behind how we are going to achieve this via various social medias. Cindy S.H.:                         Can you talk about the platforms that you plan on using? Dr. Koupenova:                 We currently are using Twitter and Facebook. Please follow us on Twitter and Facebook. And we are going to launch Instagram. Find us, follow us, engage us. That will be great. You can always send us messages and like us, retweet whatever you decide. Cindy S.H.:                         Give podcast feedback on Twitter. Nice comments only. Dr. Koupenova:                 We'd like to hear your comments and we'd like to hear what you envision in certain cases when it comes to your Circulation Research, because this is your journal as much as it is ours. We're here for you. In addition to popularize and advertise the wonderful science that we're publishing in Circ Research, we want you to be engaged. We want you to be able to advertise in your own work and to think of it as something that you own and something you need to communicate to the rest of the world. That is one of the things that we want to do. Dr. Koupenova:                 Finally I'm going to echo on what Dr. Freedman said, is we want to attract truly early career and young investigators and help them be involved, help them own their science and help them communicate their ideas. That's pretty much what our social media platform is and we are going to evolve with you. That is perhaps one of the challenges. Cindy S.H.:                         I think one of the most interesting aspects, at least in academia as I see it, is really the role of self-promotion. It's something you're never taught and it's something that you don't really appreciate until you go to that conference. I remember my first conference as a new PI, I was standing there and I'm just like, "Okay, these are all other PIs. How are they all in groups? How does everybody know each other? Why are they all friends already?" It takes a lot of guts and you have to inject yourself. "Hi. I'm Cindy St. Hilaire and I'm new. Please be my friend," essentially, essentially. But it's important and I really liked the fact that when your journal is published you have that little button, share on Twitter, share on Facebook. I think that's really important. It helps you practice that self-promotion and can help really allow you to embrace your extrovert when you know how to. Dr. Koupenova:                 That's exactly what I was going to point out. Scientists or physician scientists, or physician scientists perhaps are a bit better. But as scientists we're very much introverted. But social media gives you a platform that it's not cheesy to popularize and communicate. Then you see those people on conferences and then you have your little group without- Cindy S.H.:                         It's amazing how many Twitter friends I have. "Oh, I met you on Twitter. It's so nice to meet you in real life." Dr. Koupenova:                 It's a new generation. We at Circ Research want to evolve with it. Is that correct, Dr. Freedman? Dr. Freedman:                   That is correct. Thank you very much. Cindy S.H.:                         It's exciting times. I guess maybe this is a question for all of us to talk about, but how do you think we can, number one, attract people to science, attract diverse people to science, and then really keep them in science and how do you think we can use Circ Research and also the social media aspects of Circ Research to do that? Dr. Freedman:                   I think, first of all, people have to see themselves in the journal. The journal, I think the first point I talked about, about being inclusive, inclusive types of people, way people consume science, types of science. We really want people to feel like Circ Research isn't just a journal that puts out scientific papers, but is a forum. It's a forum for them to exchange ideas and it's a forum for them to understand better about their scientific careers. Cindy S.H.:                         Great. Thank you. This has been an amazing first podcast. I'm so happy to share it with the two of you and I'm super excited for this opportunity. Again, Jane, I want to congratulate you on your new position as editor in chief and I can't help but mention as the first female editor in chief. That's a wonderful, wonderful thing. Cindy S.H.:                         You can find us on Twitter. The handle is @CircRes, at C-I-R-C-R-E-S. We're also on Instagram using the same name, C-I-R-C-R-E-S. We hope to hear from you there. Cindy S.H.:                         Thank you for listening. I'm your host, Cindy St. Hilaire, and this is Discover CircRes, your source for the most up-to-date and exciting discoveries in basic cardiovascular research.

The first episode looks at Mitochondrial DNA research into mental disorders, and how it has helped scientists understand the origin and biological ancestry of the Danish population. Principal Investigator, and Cheif Physician at SSI, Michael Christiansen tells the story. The Danish National Biobank is a treasury of science for international health research. It contains 10 million biosamples across an array of diagnostic categories, as well as the Danish Biobank Register that links over 25 million biosamples in Danish biobanks to vast amounts of register information. This podcast will give an insight into some of the amazing research done through the Danish National Biobank and hopefully inspire researchers to utilize this potential in the future.

Join host Greg Carlwood of The Higherside Chats podcast as he talks the Out of Australia theory, Dreamtime, and the Pleiades with guest, Steven Strong. Many alternative researchers, archaeologists and scholars of history have dedicated countless hours pouring over ancient sites and remains in hopes of piecing together humanity's hidden origins. And while the secrets of our past still stand shrouded in mystery, researchers like today's guest, Steven Strong, have spent decades peeling back the layers in an effort to reconstruct the damaged human psyche. And, thanks to his well-established relationships with the Original Elders of Australia and their willingness to share their sacred oral history, we now have a growing body of recently unearthed evidence to help bring the secret knowledge of mankind's making to the light. 5:55 In order to properly understand Strong's alternative perspective, one must first be familiar with the Out of Africa theory. Steven starts by clearly defining the evidence used in the Out of Africa theory, giving a bit of background on the key players involved, and walking through the holes in this now widely scrutinized paradigm. Strong also walks us through the various genetic traits such as Denisovan and Neanderthal, where they are found and what these links tell us about the differences between Original People and Africans. 14:42 After examining the holes in the Out of Africa theory, and touching upon the genetic differences found in the Original People of Australia, Greg and Steven discuss the cosmology and alternative oral history of the Elders, the healing process that began centuries ago, and the seeding of Pleiadian genes throughout the world. 23:42 Greg and Steven discuss the work of Michael Tellinger, our genetic disposition as a slave race, the various other beings that have influenced humanity, and how it connects to Strong's research.  33:00  Continuing with their discussion of anomalous site in Australia that have the potential to rewrite history, Greg and Steven discuss Lake George and Panaramitee,  as well as the Kariong Glyphs and the perplexing pendant containing several unidentifiable metals. 41:20 Greg and Steven discuss the element of magic in the Original culture, their Shamanic practices, and the possibilities available when people reach their true spiritual potential. Become a Plus Member at www.TheHighersideChatsPlus.com/subscribe to hear a second hour of all THC episodes. This week's included: - information and stories about the magic rocks that Stephen has been tasked with being the custodian of - how the Australian Originals' stories about their animals, like the dingo and kangaroo -as well as the genetic data, might tie into the theme of otherworldly origins - Steven's plan to use what he's learned, along with the help of others and the magic rocks he has, to open a publicly available portal on a sacred island that translated to “Gateway to the Heavens” - the history of Australia's colonial takeover, how it differs from what happened with Columbus in America, and how it effected the people of Tasmania - why the Egyptians have more of a right to set up an embassy in Australia, than the British do. - how ancestral spirits of the land relate to Australian Originals', and why they didn't harm the invading British - how ancient largely unknown sites in Australia compare, and often dwarf the scale of, more famous sites around the planet - the struggle with the Australian government to keep them from bulldozing through an ancient 7 step pyramid to make way for a highway extension A few valuable resources from the interview: "Mitochondrial DNA and Human Evolution" (1987) by Rebecca Louise Cann, Mark Stoneking, and Allan Charles Wilson: https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/mitochondrial-dna-and-human-evolution-1987-rebecca-louise-cann-mark-stoneking-and-allan Denisovan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denisovan

Host Scott Fisher opens the show with David Allen Lambert, Chief Genealogist of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and AmericanAncestors.org. David shares some great stories this week, including one about a family that found a funeral home had dressed the wrong corpse in their mother’s clothes, a man who found his father’s and uncle’s letters homes from World War II on eBay, and the story of a Saxon king whose remains may have been found under a tennis court! (Here we go again!) David’s spotlighted blogger this week is FamilySearch.org/blog/en which discusses, among many other things, how to get started in indexing old records. Next, Fisher is going DNA crazy this week, having shipped out three Y-chromosome DNA kits to close and distant relatives. He’s pondering using a mitochondrial test for one of his wife’s lines. “Not so fast!” says LegacyTree.com’s Paul Woodbury. The DNA specialist shares some important insight on when you should and when you shouldn’t attempt to connect ancestors through this female direct line DNA method. Then, Carrie Christos of Cincinnati, Ohio talks about her “Big Fat Greek genealogical experience.” She shares the challenges she faced, the serendipity that (as is often the case) kicked in, and the new relationships she has developed. Carrie will tell you how it all happened. Then, Tom Perry, the Preservation Authority from TMCPlace.com is geeked out over a remarkable time-lapse video he found. It will inspire you to learn how you can do the same. Tom also talks about some local digitizers that he feels will do a great job for you in several states. That’s all the week on Extreme Genes, America’s Family History Show!

In the 1970s and 80s, an interesting academic dispute rose between two rival camps of scientists in the field of Paleoanthropology, the study of human evolution. The main question dealt with the theories of when and where the modern human, the Homo-Sapiens, appeared. The post Molecular Clock, Pt.1: Mitochondrial DNA | Curious Minds appeared first on Curious Minds Podcast.

Mitochondrial DNA is only inherited from your mother. Everyone alive on earth today can trace their lineage back to Mitochondrial Eve. We know this because we’ve all received our Mitochondrial DNA from her. It has been passed down generation by generation from mother to daughter.

Scientists discover a new process, in which mitochondrial DNA is exchanged between cells in the body

Background: Myanmar is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia with a population of 55 million people subdivided into more than 100 ethnic groups. Ruled by changing kingdoms and dynasties and lying on the trade route between India and China, Myanmar was influenced by numerous cultures. Since its independence from British occupation, tensions between the ruling Bamar and ethnic minorities increased. Results: Our aim was to search for genetic footprints of Myanmar's geographic, historic and sociocultural characteristics and to contribute to the picture of human colonization by describing and dating of new mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups. Therefore, we sequenced the mtDNA control region of 327 unrelated donors and the complete mitochondrial genome of 44 selected individuals according to highest quality standards. Conclusion: Phylogenetic analyses of the entire mtDNA genomes uncovered eight new haplogroups and three unclassified basal M-lineages. The multi-ethnic population and the complex history of Myanmar were reflected in its mtDNA heterogeneity. Population genetic analyses of Burmese control region sequences combined with population data from neighboring countries revealed that the Myanmar haplogroup distribution showed a typical Southeast Asian pattern, but also Northeast Asian and Indian influences. The population structure of the extraordinarily diverse Bamar differed from that of the Karen people who displayed signs of genetic isolation. Migration analyses indicated a considerable genetic exchange with an overall positive migration balance from Myanmar to neighboring countries. Age estimates of the newly described haplogroups point to the existence of evolutionary windows where climatic and cultural changes gave rise to mitochondrial haplogroup diversification in Asia.

Background: Deletions of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) accumulate to high levels in dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) in normal aging and in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Human nigral neurons characteristically contain the pigment neuromelanin (NM), which is believed to alter the cellular redox-status. The impact of neuronal pigmentation, neurotransmitter status and brainstem location on the susceptibility to mtDNA damage remains unclear. We quantified mtDNA deletions (Delta mtDNA) in single pigmented and non-pigmented catecholaminergic, as well as non-catecholaminergic neurons of the human SNc, the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and the locus coeruleus (LC), using laser capture microdissection and single-cell real-time PCR. Results: In healthy aged individuals, Delta mtDNA levels were highest in pigmented catecholaminergic neurons (25.2 +/- 14.9%), followed by non-pigmented catecholamergic (18.0 +/- 11.2%) and non-catecholaminergic neurons (12.3 +/- 12.3%; p < 0.001). Within the catecholaminergic population, Delta mtDNA levels were highest in dopaminergic neurons of the SNc (33.9 +/- 21.6%) followed by dopaminergic neurons of the VTA (21.9 +/- 12.3%) and noradrenergic neurons of the LC (11.1 +/- 11.4%; p < 0.001). In PD patients, there was a trend to an elevated mutation load in surviving non-pigmented nigral neurons (27.13 +/- 16.73) compared to age-matched controls (19.15 +/- 11.06; p = 0.052), but levels where similar in pigmented nigral neurons of PD patients (41.62 +/- 19.61) and controls (41.80 +/- 22.62). Conclusions: Catecholaminergic brainstem neurons are differentially susceptible to mtDNA damage. Pigmented dopaminergic neurons of the SNc show the highest Delta mtDNA levels, possibly explaining the exceptional vulnerability of the nigro-striatal system in PD and aging. Although loss of pigmented noradrenergic LC neurons also is an early feature of PD pathology, mtDNA levels are not elevated in this nucleus in healthy controls. Thus, Delta mtDNA are neither an inevitable consequence of catecholamine metabolism nor a universal explanation for the regional vulnerability seen in PD.

Because of the widespread phenomenon of patrilocality, it is hypothesized that Y-chromosome variants tend to be more localized geographically than those of mitochondrial DNA ( mtDNA). Empirical evidence confirmatory to this hypothesis was subsequently provided among certain patrilocal and matrilocal groups of Thailand, which conforms to the isolation by distance mode of gene diffusion. However, we expect intuitively that the patterns of genetic variability may not be consistent with the above hypothesis among populations with different social norms governing the institution of marriage, particularly among those that adhere to strict endogamy rules. We test the universality of this hypothesis by analyzing Y-chromosome and mtDNA data in three different sets of Indian populations that follow endogamy rules to varying degrees. Our analysis of the Indian patrilocal and the matrilocal groups is not confirmatory to the sex- specific variation observed among the tribes of Thailand. Our results indicate spatial instability of the impact of different cultural processes on the genetic variability, resulting in the lack of universality of the hypothesized pattern of greater Y-chromosome variation when compared to that of mtDNA among the patrilocal populations.

Mitochondrial heat shock protein 70 (mt-Hsp70) has been shown to play an important role in facilitating import into, as well as folding and assembly of nuclear-encoded proteins in the mitochondrial matrix. Here, we describe a role for mt-Hsp70 in chaperoning proteins encoded by mitochondrial DNA and synthesized within mitochondria. The availability of mt-Hsp70 function influences the pattern of proteins synthesized in mitochondria of yeast both in vivo and in vitro. In particular, we show that mt-Hsp70 acts in maintaining the var1 protein, the only mitochondrially encoded subunit of mitochondrial ribosomes, in an assembly competent state, especially under heat stress conditions. Furthermore, mt-Hsp70 helps to facilitate assembly of mitochondrially encoded subunits of the ATP synthase complex. By interacting with the ATP-ase 9 oligomer, mt-Hsp70 promotes assembly of ATP-ase 6, and thereby protects the latter protein from proteolytic degradation. Thus mt-Hsp70 by acting as a chaperone for proteins encoded by the mitochondrial DNA, has a critical role in the assembly of supra- molecular complexes.
