Mitofusin 2 ablation increases endoplasmic reticulum–mitochondria coupling [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015
Significance The privileged interrelationship between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a key role in a variety of physiological functions, from lipid metabolism to Ca 2+ signalling, and its modulation influences apoptotic susceptibility, mitophagy, and ...

Relationship between mitofusin 2 and cancer

2019
Mitochondria are dynamic organelles whose actions are fundamental for cell viability. Within the cell, the mitochondrial system is incessantly modified via the balance between fusion and fission processes. Among other proteins, mitofusin 2 is a central protagonist in all these mitochondrial events (fusion, trafficking, contacts with other organelles ...

Doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis: Role of mitofusin 2

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2017
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anti-tumor agent that is widely used in clinical setting for cancer treatment. The application of the DOX, however, is limited by its cardiac toxicity which can induce heart failure through an undefined mechanism. Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) is a mitochondrial GTPase fusion protein that is located on the outer membrane of mitochondria ...

Altered expression of mitofusin 2 in penile tissues of diabetic rats

Andrologia, 2013
Diabetic erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common complication in diabetes mellitus, and the efficacy of first-line therapies is not satisfactory. Recent studies revealed that corporal apoptosis was responsible for the nonresponsiveness of severe ED to phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) is a versatile protein, regulating mitochondrial

Axonal neuropathy with optic atrophy is caused by mutations in mitofusin 2

Annals of Neurology, 2006
AbstractObjectiveCharcot‐Marie‐Tooth (CMT) neuropathy with visual impairment due to optic atrophy has been designated as hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type VI (HMSN VI). Reports of affected families have indicated autosomal dominant and recessive forms, but the genetic cause of this disease has remained elusive.MethodsHere, we describe six ...

IKKβ stabilizes Mitofusin 2 and suppresses doxorubicin cardiomyopathy

Cardiovascular Research
Abstract Aims The mitochondrial dynamics protein Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) coordinates critical cellular processes including mitochondrial bioenergetics, quality control, and cell viability. The NF-κB kinase IKKβ suppresses mitochondrial injury in doxorubicin cardiomyopathy, but the underlying mechanism is ...

Resveratrol stimulates mitochondrial fusion by a mechanism requiring mitofusin-2

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2017
Resveratrol (RES) is a plant-derived stilbene associated with a wide range of health benefits. Mitochondria are a key downstream target of RES, and in some cell types RES promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, altered cellular redox status, and a shift toward oxidative metabolism. Mitochondria exist as a dynamic network that continually remodels via fusion

Overexpression of mitofusin 2 inhibits reactive astrogliosis proliferation in vitro

Neuroscience Letters, 2014
Astrocytes become activated in response to central nervous system (CNS) injury, and excessive astrogliosis is considered an impediment to axonal regeneration by forming glial scar. Mitofusin 2 (Mfn2), a key protein in mitochondrial network, has been reported to negatively regulate cell proliferation.
