Batten disease (JNCL) is linked to disturbances in mitochondrial, cytoskeletal, and synaptic compartments.
Kaisu Luiro,Outi Kopra,Tomas Blom,Massimiliano Gentile,Hannah M. Mitchison,Iiris Hovatta,Kid Törnquist,Anu Jalanko +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative global transcript profiling of the embryonic, primary cultures of the Cln3-/- mouse neurons was carried out, and functional analyses delineated three major cellular pathways or compartments affected: mitochondrial glucose metabolism, cytoskeleton, and synaptosome.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor expression profile and regulation of migration in human thyroid cancer cells
Sonja Balthasar,Johanna Samulin,Hanna Ahlgren,Nina Bergelin,Mathias Lundqvist,Emil C. Toescu,Margaret C. Eggo,Kid Törnquist,Kid Törnquist +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that aberrant S1P receptor expression may enhance thyroid cancer cell migration and thus contribute to the metastatic behaviour of some thyroid tumours.
Downregulation of the HERG (KCNH2) K + channel by ceramide: evidence for ubiquitin-mediated lysosomal degradation
Hugh Chapman,Cia Ramström,Cia Ramström,Laura Korhonen,Mika Laine,Mika Laine,Kenneth Taylor Wann,Dan Lindholm,Dan Lindholm,Michael Pasternack,Kid Törnquist,Kid Törnquist +11 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the surface expression of HERG is strictly regulated, and that ceramide modifies HERG currents and targets the protein for lysosomal degradation.

Seipin localizes at endoplasmic-reticulum-mitochondria contact sites to control mitochondrial calcium import and metabolism in adipocytes
Yoann Combot,Veijo T. Salo,Gilliane Chadeuf,Maarit Hölttä,Katharina Ven,Ilari Pulli,Simon Ducheix,Claire Pecqueur,Ophelie Renoult,Behnam Lak,Shiqian Li,Leena Karhinen,Ilya Belevich,Cédric Le May,Jennifer Rieusset,Soazig Le Lay,Mikaël Croyal,Karima Tayeb,Helena Vihinen,Eija Jokitalo,Kid Törnquist,Corinne Vigouroux,Bertrand Cariou,Jocelyne Magré,Abdelhalim Larhlimi,Elina Ikonen,Xavier Prieur +26 more
TL;DR: A subset of seipin is enriched at ER-mitochondria contact sites (MAMs) in human and mouse cells and localizes in the vicinity of calcium regulators SERCA2, IP3R, and VDAC as mentioned in this paper .

Modulatory effect of protein kinase C on thapsigargin-induced calcium entry in thyroid FRTL-5 cells.
TL;DR: The results indicate that emptying intracellular Ca2+ pools is sufficient to induce influx ofCa2+ in FRTL-5 cells, and that protein kinase C has a modulatory effect on this process.
