The mitochondrial negative regulator MCJ modulates the interplay between microbiota and the host during ulcerative colitis
17 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Recent evidences indicate that mitochondrial genes and function are decreased in active ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, in particular, the activity of Complex I of the electron transport chain is heavily compromised. MCJ is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein identified as a natural inhibitor of respiratory chain Complex I. The induction of experimental colitis in MCJ-deficient mice leads to the upregulation...
