One of the priority research area of our laboratory is proteinological and proteomic analysis of various Parkinson’s disease model systems and biological materials obtained from patients with Parkinson’s disease, Miyoshi syndrome/myopathy, or MIDD (maternaly inherited diabetes and deafness) – MELAS (Mitochondrial Encephalopathy, Lactic Acidosis, Stroke-like episodes) spectrum syndrome.
Due to the fact that these are disorders associated with systemic, metabolic and/or nerve degeneration, which is directly related to damaged mitochondrial homeostasis and cell energy profile, another priority area of research in our laboratory is focused on the etiopathogenesis of primary and secondary mitochondriopathies.
Watch a vide tour of our Laboratory of Proteomics and Mitochondriopathies.
The core technologies used in our laboratory are common techniques of molecular, biological and genetic analyses, which are combine with state-of-the-art MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, ESI-IT mass spectrometry and NMR spectroscopy. These technologies allow us to analyze both the proteome and the phospho-proteome of cells, which combines very well with the subsequent analysis aimed at evaluating the activity of the signalome using a chip technology.
Measurements of oxygen consumption at the cellular level (basal respiration, maximum respiration capacity, respiratory reserve) and bioenergetic profile are usually determined in cell cultures or in white blood cells isolated from venous blood using an Oroboros O2k respirometer. Circulating cells in patients are specific in a way that come into contact with all organs in the body, and thus usually react to various pathological conditions and cause changes. The outputs of this method can serve as biomarker (s) of complex cellular energy.
Mitochondrial dysfunction (so called mitochondrial respiratory disorders) is associated with various degenerative diseases (such as mitochondrial encephalopathy, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, Kearns-Sayre syndrome, MIDD / MELAS syndrome, diabetes, muscular dystrophies, ALS, schizophrenia). The study of this dysfunction in relation to the above-mentioned diseases is of great importance, both from a scientific or clinical point of view. Determination of bioenergetic profile is also justified in the field of preventive medicine, for example, in diagnostics, therapy and research of metabolic syndrome and obesity, or cardiovascular diseases.
