研究実績の概要 |
The objectives of this project are 1) to verify NNT defect impairs cellular redox status and mitochondrial bioenergetics both in vitro and in vivo; 2) to validate the impaired cellular redox status mediates MAPK pathways to inhibit mitochondrial ATP production and induce apoptosis and subsequent decreased cellular viability; 3) to identify new genes responsible for FGD and elucidate the underlying mechanism(s) The following results were obtained. 1. NNT knockdown resulted in an oxidized cellular redox status and impaired mitochondrial bioenergetics in HAC15 cells (a human adrenocortical cell line) 2. The FGD patient with NNT deficiency showed higher ROS production rate in the lymphocytic mitochondria, suggesting NNT deficiency lead to increased oxidative stress in the patient. 3. The effect of NNT deficiency on mitochondrial bioenergetics in the FGD patient was not performed due to lack of blood sample and all the remaining experiments were stopped due to the researcher’s retirement.
