Overexpression of mitofusin 2 in the diabetic heart; pathological or cardioprotective remodelling?

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction is an established hallmark of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) is widely believed to function as a molecular tether, binding mitochondria to the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to form specialised Ca2 ...

Acylglycerol Kinase Inhibition Restores Mitophagy and Alleviates Alzheimer's Disease Pathology

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2026.
AGK (acylglycerol kinase) is abnormally upregulated in AD patients and mouse models. By stabilizing the TOM–TIM complex, this excess AGK facilitates PINK1 translocation to the IMM and prevents its OMM accumulation, leading to mitophagy impairment.

Endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response in lung diseases: molecular pathways and therapeutic interventions

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, Volume 269, Issue 3, Page 268-283, July 2026.
Abstract Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) occurs when the protein‐folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is overwhelmed, triggering the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore homeostasis. However, severe or persistent ERS can shift the UPR toward pro‐inflammatory, apoptotic, and fibrotic signaling, thereby exacerbating tissue injury ...

A Non‐Canonical Role for Hepatocyte MLKL in Promoting Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Senescence in the Aging Liver

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 7, July 2026.
Aging‐associated MLKL upregulation in hepatocytes induces mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, accompanied by increased release of pro‐inflammatory extracellular vesicles. These changes are associated with increased p16+/p21+ senescence in hepatocytes and non‐parenchymal cells (macrophages, stellate cells, and endothelial cells), suggesting ...

Metabolic Kinases as Regulators of Inter‐Organelle Communication in Aging and Age‐Related Diseases

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 7, July 2026.
Metabolic kinases integrate cellular energy, nutrient, and stress signals to regulate inter‐organelle coordination during aging. In young or healthy cells, coordinated communication among mitochondria, the endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, peroxisomes, and the Golgi apparatus supports calcium handling, lipid metabolism, mitochondrial dynamics ...

Mitofusin-2 is a major determinant of oxidative stress-mediated heart muscle cell apoptosis

open access: yes, 2007
An inexorable loss of terminally differentiated heart muscle cells is a crucial causal factor for heart failure. Here, we have provided several lines of evidence to demonstrate that mitofusin-2 (Mfn-2; also called hyperplasia suppressor gene), a member ...

“In vitro” capacitation and subsequent acrosome reaction are related to changes in the expression and location of midpiece actin and mitofusin-2 in boar spermatozoa

open access: yes, 2012
The induction of “in vitro” capacitation (IVC) and subsequent, progesterone-induced “in vitro” acrosome reaction (IVAR) was concomitant with an increase in actin polymerization, also showing an increase in actin presence at the apical area of the ...

The Role of Mammalian Mitofusin-2 (Mfn-2) in Lipid Metabolism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The architecture of mitochondria is closely associated with numerous functions for cell signaling, growth and senescence. The overall phenomenon of mitochondrial dynamics, which include fusion and fission events, characterizes the fundamental mechanism ...

Zebrafish mitofusin-2 knockdown: a new model for CMT2A neuropathy?

open access: yes, 2009
Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) is a large dynamin-like GTPase protein, located in the outer membrane of mitochondria and at the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum.
