miR‐376b‐3p attenuates mitochondrial fission and cardiac hypertrophy by targeting mitochondrial fission factor

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 2018
SummaryMitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy. The disequilibrium of mitochondrial dynamic, which refers to mitochondrial fusion and fission, leads to mitochondrial morphology alteration and dysfunction. Enhanced understanding of the molecular mechanisms in depth may shed light on the therapy of the disease. In

The role of mitochondrial fission factor in podocyte injury in diabetic nephropathy

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2022
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most important complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) and has become the second cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study intends to investigate the molecular mechanism of increased mitochondrial fission in podocytes under the effect of high glucose (HG), and to preliminarily study the role of ...

Abstract 15168: The Role of Mitochondrial Fission Factor (MFF) and Increased Midzone Mitochondrial Fission in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Implications for Proliferation, Mitophagy, and Apoptosis

Circulation, 2023
Introduction: The obstructive vasculopathy in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) results from unrestricted proliferation and impaired apoptosis of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC). This pseudoneoplastic phenotype is partly due to increased mitotic fission i.e.

275-LB: Mitochondrial Fission Factor Can Be a Key Factor in the Regulation of Hepatic Lipid Metabolism

Diabetes, 2023
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) develops into nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) when fat accumulates in the liver, leading to hepatocyte apoptosis, inflammation and fibrosis. No effective treatments for NASH have been established. Mitochondria are important organelles that play a central role in de novo lipogenesis and fatty acid β-oxidation.

Depletion of mitochondrial fission factor DRP1 causes increased apoptosis in human colon cancer cells

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2012
Mitochondria play a critical role in regulation of apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death, by releasing apoptogenic factors including cytochrome c. Growing evidence suggests that dynamic changes in mitochondrial morphology are involved in cellular apoptotic response.

Mitochondrial fission factor Drp1 is essential for embryonic development and synapse formation in mice

Nature Cell Biology, 2009
Mitochondrial morphology is dynamically controlled by a balance between fusion and fission. The physiological importance of mitochondrial fission in vertebrates is less clearly defined than that of mitochondrial fusion. Here we show that mice lacking the mitochondrial fission GTPase Drp1 have developmental abnormalities, particularly in the forebrain ...

Benzopyrene represses mitochondrial fission factors and PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitophagy in primary astrocytes

Toxicology
Mitochondria are essential for various physiological functions in astrocytes in the brain, such as maintaining ion and pH homeostasis, regulating neurotransmission, and modulating neuroinflammation. Mitophagy, a form of autophagy specific to mitochondria, is essential for ensuring mitochondrial quality and function.

Stage-specific enhanced expression of mitochondrial fusion and fission factors during spermatogenesis in rat testis

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2003
The mitochondrial fusion factors mitofusins 1 and 2 (Mfn1 and Mfn2) and the fission factor dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) were found to be highly expressed in the pubertal and adult rat testis by Northern blot analysis. Immunohistochemistry using specific antisera to Mfn2 and Drp1 revealed a pronounced expression of the fusion and fission factors in ...

NERVE GROWTH FACTOR INDUCES MITOCHONDRIAL FISSION THAT IS REQUIRED FOR AXON BRANCHING

2019
The formation of axon collateral branches from the pre-existing shafts of axons is an important aspect of neurodevelopment and the response of the nervous system to injury. Both the actin filament and microtubule components of the cytoskeleton are required for the formation of axon branches. Recent work has begun to shed light on how these two elements
