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

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 ...

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
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
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 ...

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]
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?
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.
