FAD synthase deficiency: a severe mitochondrial myopathy searching for novel therapeutic strategies
No full textBackground Multiple Acyl CoA deficiency (MADD, OMIM #231680) is a heterogeneous disorder affecting multiple mitochondrial flavoproteins, which involves energy metabolism, and particularly β-oxidation of fatty acids. Presentations range from severe forms with multiple organ failure, to later-onset lipid storage myopathy, with excellent response to riboflavin (vitamin B2), the precursor of the redox flavin cofactors, FMN and FAD. Genetic testing for MADD comprises analysis of ETFA, ETFB, ETFDH and genes involved in riboflavin transport and flavoprotein biosynthesis. Deficiency of FAD synthase caused by FLAD1 variations was recently identified as a cause of MADD (now lipid storage myophaty, LSMFLAD, OMIM #255100) with potential effect of riboflavin treatment, especially in patients with milder FLAD1 variations (Olsen RKJ, et al. AJHG 2016; 98:1130-1145). Materials and Methods Human fibroblasts were cultured as in (Ryder B, et al. JIMD Rep. 2019;45:37-44). Flavin homeostasis was studied by HPLC. Protein and transcript levels were measured by Western Blotting and PCR. Bioenergetics, ROS measurements and worm flad1 silencing were performed, as in (Liuzzi VC, et al. BBA. 2012;1820:521-31). Results The derangements of flavin homeostasis were studied in fibroblasts of patients expressing FLAD1 pathological variants. An impairment of mitochondrial bioenergetics, mainly due to reduction in the level of succinate dehydrogenase flavoprotein subunit, and an increase in cellular ROS and peroxiredoxin 3 levels were observed, suggesting an active response to stress conditions. Interestingly, these changes were accompanied by a secondary transcriptional regulation of the riboflavin transporter (RFVT2). A similar behavior was found in a C. elegans model mimicking FAD synthase deficiency, obtained by silencing the worm orthologue of FLAD1. Conclusions FAD synthase deficiency is a pathological condition which severely alters mitochondrial flavoproteome and bioenergetics in both human cells and nematodes. Secondary derangements of RFVT2 might explain the therapeutic response to riboflavin treatment. The silenced worm is a promising model for testing alternative therapeutic strategies for this mitochondrial myopathy
Distance Hedonic Games
No full textIn this paper we consider Distance Hedonic Games (DHGs), a class of non-transferable utility coalition formation games that properly generalizes previously existing models, like Social Distance Games (SDGs) and unweighted Fractional Hedonic Games (FHGs). In particular, in DHGs we assume the existence of a scoring vector α, in which the i-th coefficient αi expresses the extent to which an agent x contributes to the utility of an agent y if they are at distance i. We focus on Nash stable outcomes in the arising games, i.e., on coalition structures in which no agent can unilaterally improve her gain by deviating. We consider two different natural scenarios for the scoring vector, with monotonically increasing and monotonically decreasing coefficients. In both cases we give NP-hardness and inapproximability results on the problems of finding a social optimum and a best Nash stable outcome. Moreover, we characterize the topologies of coalitions that provide high social welfare and consequently give suitable bounds on the Price of Anarchy and on the Price of Stability

The M&G Drive
No full textabstract: The M&G Drive is a proposed venture project lead by Barrett seniors, Elijah Smith and Jenna Fitzgerald. This project aims to educate Arizona State University (ASU) students on the issues of food insecurity around the Phoenix valley and facilitate their involvement in helping alleviate this pressing social matter. Scientific research has shown significant inverse relationships between food insecurity and the following: mental and physical health, social skills, and academic achievement. As the largest public university in the nation, Arizona State holds a self-ascribed responsibility for the health of its communities. In order to address this issue on behalf of Arizona State and from the standpoint of college students, this proposed venture will encourage the ASU student population to reallocate their unused M&G Dollars (ASU’s on-campus currency) to go toward this cause. Rather than being absorbed back by the university system, unused M&G Dollars can instead be used to purchase non-perishables that will then be donated to the local Phoenix community in order to help fight against food insecurity
Lah–Ribarič type inequalities for (h, g; m)-convex functions
No full textRecently introduced new class of (h, g; m)-convex functions unifies a certain range of convexity, thus allowing the generalizations of know results. In this paper we prove Lah–Ribarič type inequalities for (h, g; m)-convex functions from which we obtain inequalities of Hermite–Hadamard, Fejér, Giaccardi, Popoviciu and Petrović. © 2021, The Author(s) under exclusive licence to The Royal Academy of Sciences, Madrid
