Mitofusin 2 Deficiency Causes Pro-Inflammatory Effects in Human Primary Macrophages

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) is a mitochondrial outer membrane GTPase, which modulates mitochondrial fusion and affects the interaction between endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.

The Aging Heart: Mitophagy at the Center of Rejuvenation. [PDF]

, 2020
Aging is associated with structural and functional changes in the heart and is a major risk factor in developing cardiovascular disease. Many recent studies have focused on increasing our understanding of the basis of aging at the cellular and molecular ...

MFN2 point mutations occur in 3.4% of Charcot-Marie-Tooth families. An investigation of 232 Norwegian CMT families [PDF]

, 2010
Background Point mutations in the mitofusin 2 (MFN2) gene has been identified exclusively in Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2 (CMT2), and in a single family with intermediate CMT. MFN2 point mutations are probably the most common cause of CMT2.

Mitofusin 2 in Macrophages Links Mitochondrial ROS Production, Cytokine Release, Phagocytosis, Autophagy, and Bactericidal Activity

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) plays a major role in mitochondrial fusion and in the maintenance of mitochondria-endoplasmic reticulum contact sites. Given that macrophages play a major role in inflammation, we studied the contribution of Mfn2 to the ...

Mfn2 downregulation in excitotoxicity causes mitochondrial dysfunction and delayed neuronal death. [PDF]

, 2014
Mitochondrial fusion and fission is a dynamic process critical for the maintenance of mitochondrial function and cell viability. During excitotoxicity neuronal mitochondria are fragmented, but the mechanism underlying this process is poorly understood ...

Differentiation state-specific mitochondrial dynamic regulatory networks are revealed by global transcriptional analysis of the developing chicken lens. [PDF]

, 2014
The mature eye lens contains a surface layer of epithelial cells called the lens epithelium that requires a functional mitochondrial population to maintain the homeostasis and transparency of the entire lens.

Data‐Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry in Tumor Classification and Cancer Biomarker Research

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer treatment is far from optimal also because current classification systems do not reflect the complex molecular status of the tumor and its phenotype in sufficient detail. To construct molecular tumor classifiers, omics tools provide complex molecular data reflecting many aspects from genotype to phenotype.

Mfn2 inhibits proliferation and cell-cycle in Hela cells via Ras-NF-κB signal pathway

Cancer Cell International, 2019
Background Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) is outer membrane protein, as the inhibitor of Ras protein. This study aimed to investigate the effect of Mfn2 on cell proliferation, and cell-cycle in Hela cervical carcinoma cell lines.

Hearts deficient in both Mfn1 and Mfn2 are protected against acute myocardial infarction [PDF]

, 2016
Mitochondria alter their shape by undergoing cycles of fusion and fission. Changes in mitochondrial morphology impact on the cellular response to stress, and their interactions with other organelles such as the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR).
