Mechanical Force Promotes Mitochondrial Transfer From Macrophages to BMSCs to Enhance Bone Formation

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Mechanical tension activates Drp1‐mediated mitochondrial fission in macrophages, facilitating the release of Mito‐EVs that are subsequently transferred to BMSCs. Additionally, the CD200R‐CD200 interaction enhances the uptake of these mechanically stimulated macrophage‐derived Mito‐EVs by BMSCs, ultimately promoting osteogenic differentiation.

Mitofusin-2 stabilizes adherens junctions and suppresses endothelial inflammation via modulation of β-catenin signaling

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Endothelial tissues must have intact barrier function, but this may be disrupted during inflammation. Here, the authors show that the mitochondrial protein Mitofusin-2 stabilizes cell–cell adherens junctions in endothelial cells during homeostasis and ...

Inhibition of cAMP/PKA Pathway Protects Optic Nerve Head Astrocytes against Oxidative Stress by Akt/Bax Phosphorylation-Mediated Mfn1/2 Oligomerization. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Glaucoma is characterized by a progressive optic nerve degeneration and retinal ganglion cell loss, but the underlying biological basis for the accompanying neurodegeneration is not known.

Growth differentiation factor 15 mitigates lipotoxic steatosis by preserving mitochondrial morphodynamics and augmenting fatty acid oxidation in hepatocytes and liver organoids

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) has emerged as a promising metabolic regulator with hepatoprotective properties in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), yet its underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Valosin-containing protein (VCP/p97) inhibitors relieve Mitofusin-dependent mitochondrial defects due to VCP disease mutants

open access: yeseLife, 2017
Missense mutations of valosin-containing protein (VCP) cause an autosomal dominant disease known as inclusion body myopathy, Paget disease with frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) and other neurodegenerative disorders.

Domain interactions within Fzo1 oligomers are essential for mitochondrial fusion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Mitofusins are conserved GTPases essential for the fusion of mitochondria. These mitochondrial outer membrane proteins contain a GTPase domain and two or three regions with hydrophobic heptad repeats, but little is known about how these domains interact ...

Effect of mitofusin 1 and mitofusin 2 deficiency on electrophysiology parameter following stimulated ischemia reperfusion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Background: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the arrhythmias which often follow are among the leading causes of death and disability in Singapore and worldwide. As such novel treatments are required to prevent cardiac arrhythmias following AMI. In an AMI, acute myocardial ischemia and reperfusion can disturb the electrical conduction system of the

ER proteostasis meets mitochondrial function: contact sites as hubs of communication and therapeutic targets

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteostasis ensures proper protein folding, modification, and degradation, while its impairment triggers ER stress. Chronic ER stress and maladaptive UPR via the CHOP–ERO1 axis remodel ERMCs, altering calcium signaling and mitochondrial metabolism.

Regulating a uniter: control of mitofusin 2 expression [PDF]

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2012
This editorial refers to ‘The promoter activity of human Mfn2 depends on Sp1 in vascular smooth muscle cells’ by E. Sorianello et al. , pp. 38–47, this issue. Sorianello et al. 1 provide important new information on the regulation on mitofusin (Mfn)2 expression.

Proteomic analysis of the zone of degeneration at the mitosis–meiosis transition stage in wild‐caught male catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula), correlated with an unusually high‐water temperature in the English Channel

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the context of current global change, variations in water temperature are one of the environmental conditions with serious consequences for marine life, including reproductive processes. In the small spotted catshark Scyliorhinus canicula, spermatogenesis occurs in spermatocysts composed of synchronously developing germ cells associated ...
