Abstract:
Mitochondrial disorders are a group of highly invalidating human conditions due to defective oxidative phosphorylation, for which no effective treatment is nowadays available. In order to develop effective therapies for these disorders, I focused on an experimental approach based on the manipulation of mitochondrial morphology. Opa1 is a GTPase of the inner mitochondrial membrane involved in both mitochondrial fusion and cristae shaping. The role of OPA1 in mitodynamics has also a documented impact on controlling the assembly of the respiratory supercomplexes and respiratory proficiency. Base

Mammalian complex I is composed of 45 subunits, 14 of which comprise its simpler bacterial homologues.

Mitochondrial diseases are a clinically heterogeneous group of inherited disorders associated with defects in the oxidative phosphorylation system, with an estimated incidence in between 1:5,000 and 1:10,000 live births.

Thus, also mutations affecting nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins are responsible for mitochondrial disease onset. During the last decades, an increasing number of novel nuclear disease genes have been identified. Among those genes, human MPV17 and APOP

Abstract:
Le malattie mitocondriali (MD) sono un gruppo clinicamente eterogeneo di patologie dovute al difetto di funzione dei mitocondri, in particolare della catena respiratoria mitocondriale (RC) e della fosforilazione ossidativa (OXPHOS). Le funzioni mitocondriali sono sotto il controllo di due diversi genomi: DNA mitocondriale (mtDNA) e genoma nucleare (nDNA). Le forme infantili sono più spesso associate a mutazioni nel nDNA; negli ultimi anni tecnologie di sequenziamento di nuova generazione (Next Generation Sequencing-NGS) hanno permesso di identificare nuovi geni malattia; in collaborazione co

Abstract:
Le système nerveux consiste en plusieurs types cellulaires quels interagissent avec eux-mêmes pour conduire des potentiels d’action du soma au travers l’axone vers la synapse. Dans les nerfs périphériques, les cellules de Schwann interagissent avec les neurones par enrouler autour l’axone et créer une gaine de myéline. Cette gaine de myéline permit une conduction rapide des potentiels d’action de nœud de Ranvier vers nœud de Ranvier, quels sont petits régions non-myélinisés de l’axone. En plus, les cellules de Schwann transportent du lactate vers le neurone et le neurone utilise ce lactate pou

Abstract:
Les défauts de génome mitochondrial provoquent des maladies neuromusculaires, pour lequel aucun traitement efficace n'a été mis au point. La plupart des mutations mitochondriales sont hétéroplasmique, ce qui signifie que l'ADN mitochondrial (ADNmt) de type sauvage et muté coexistent dans la même cellule, et le changement de proportion entre deux types d'ADNmt pourrait rétablir les fonctions mitochondriales. Le but du projet était le développement du système pour cibler l'ARN thérapeutique dans les cellules humaines vivantes. Au cours de ma thèse j'ai synthétisé une série de nouveaux ARN anti-r

Les maladies mitochondriales regroupent un ensemble de pathologies liées à un déficit de la chaînerespiratoire mitochondriale. Au laboratoire, nous focalisons notre intérêt sur les mitochondriopathies liées à undéfaut de stabilité de l’ADN mitochondrial (ADNmt), qui se traduit par des délétions multiples et/ou unedéplétion (diminution du nombre de copies). Ces pathologies sont caractérisées par une importantehétérogénéité clinique et génétique et sont secondaires à des mutations dans des gènes nucléaires codantpour des protéines impliquées dans le maintien de l’ADNmt.

Abstract:
Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is the most common myopathy in elderly. This disease causes muscle wasting with both distal and proximal affectation. Quadriceps and finger flexors are muscle typically affected. At pathological level, three different features are present in muscle biopsies: inflammation, mitochondrial abnormalities and degeneration. The presence of T-cell infiltrate, ragged-red fibers and rimmed vacuoles are some features linked to these pathological processes. Protein misfolding and aggregation lead to the formation of the mentioned rimmed vacuoles, composed by many di

Abstract:
Mitochondria is no longer viewed as merely a powerhouse of the cell. It is now apparentthat mitochondria play a central role in signaling, maintaining cellular homeostasis and cell fate.Mitochondrial dysfunction has been linked to many human diseases caused by cellular metabolicderegulation, such as obesity, diabetes, neurodegenerative disease, cardiovascular disease andcancer. Eukaryotic organisms have evolved an efficient way in sensing, communicating andresponding to cellular stress and regulating mitochondrial activity correspondingly through acomplex network of intercommunicating protein

Abstract:
[EN] Post-transcriptional modification of the wobble uridine (U34) of a tRNA set is an evolutionary conserved process, produced by homologous proteins from the MnmA/MTU1, MnmE/GTPBP3 and MnmG/MTO1 families. Mutations in the human genes MTU1 and GTPBP3 or MTO1 produce acute infantile liver failure, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and lactic acidosis, respectively, which usually cause lethality in the first months of life. It is assumed that the primary cause of these diseases is the lack of the modifications introduced by the MTU1 protein in position 2 (tiol) and GTPBP3 and MTO1 proteins (tauri
