mTORC2 protects the heart from high-fat diet-induced cardiomyopathy through mitochondrial fission in Drosophila

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity has become the major risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

AMP-activated protein kinase mediates mitochondrial fission in response to energy stress [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Mitochondria undergo fragmentation in response to electron transport chain (ETC) poisons and mitochondrial DNA–linked disease mutations, yet how these stimuli mechanistically connect to the mitochondrial fission and fusion machinery is poorly understood.

Differentiation-inducing factor 1 activates cofilin through pyridoxal phosphatase and AMP-activated protein kinase, resulting in mitochondrial fission

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2023
Differentiation-inducing factor 1 (DIF-1) is a morphogen produced by Dictyostelium discoideum that inhibits the proliferation and migration of both D. discoideum and most mammalian cells.

High glucose–induced ROS activates TRPM2 to trigger lysosomal membrane permeabilization and Zn2+-mediated mitochondrial fission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Diabetic stress increases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to mitochondrial fragmentation and dysfunction. Wehypothesized that ROS-sensitive TRPM2 channels mediated diabetic stress–induced mitochondrial fragmentation.

Mitochondrial dynamics in type 2 diabetes: Pathophysiological implications

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2017
Mitochondria play a key role in maintaining cellular metabolic homeostasis. These organelles have a high plasticity and are involved in dynamic processes such as mitochondrial fusion and fission, mitophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis. Type 2 diabetes is

Mitochondrial dynamics–fusion, fission, movement, and mitophagy–in neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Neurons are metabolically active cells with high energy demands at locations distant from the cell body. As a result, these cells are particularly dependent on mitochondrial function, as reflected by the observation that diseases of mitochondrial ...

Mff is an essential factor for mitochondrial recruitment of Drp1 during mitochondrial fission in mammalian cells [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 2010
The cytoplasmic dynamin-related guanosine triphosphatase Drp1 is recruited to mitochondria and mediates mitochondrial fission. Although the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) protein Fis1 is thought to be a Drp1 receptor, this has not been confirmed. To analyze the mechanism of Drp1 recruitment, we manipulated the expression of mitochondrial fission ...

Klf5 down-regulation induces vascular senescence through eIF5a depletion and mitochondrial fission.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2020
Although dysregulation of mitochondrial dynamics has been linked to cellular senescence, which contributes to advanced age-related disorders, it is unclear how Krüppel-like factor 5 (Klf5), an essential transcriptional factor of cardiovascular remodeling,

Fis1 phosphorylation by Met promotes mitochondrial fission and hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2021
Met tyrosine kinase, a receptor for a hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), plays a critical role in tumor growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. Mitochondria are highly dynamic and undergo fission and fusion to maintain a functional mitochondrial network ...

Emerging functions of mammalian mitochondrial fusion and fission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Mitochondria provide a myriad of services to the cell, including energy production, calcium buffering and regulation of apoptosis. How these diverse functions are coordinated among the hundreds of mitochondria in a given cell is largely unknown, but is ...
