Lidamycin induces mitophagy in pancreatic cancer cells by regulating the expression of Mfn2

open access: yesScientific Reports
Lidamycin (LDM) has been confirmed to have a strong anti-pancreatic cancer effect and can affect the mitochondrial function of pancreatic cancer cells. Mitofusin-2 (Mfn2) is located in the outer membrane of mitochondria, and Mfn2 is currently believed to

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 ...

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 ...

Expression of mitofusin 2R94Q in a transgenic mouse leads to Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy type 2A [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A is an autosomal dominant axonal form of peripheral neuropathy caused by mutations in the mitofusin 2 gene. Mitofusin 2 encodes a mitochondrial outer membrane protein that participates in mitochondrial fusion in ...

“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 ...

Mitofusin-2 Expression Is Implicated in Cervical Cancer Pathogenesis

open access: yes, 2018
BACKGROUND/AIM: It remains unclear whether mitofusin-2 (MFN2) functions as a tumour suppressor or oncogene in cancer progression. In this study we, therefore, aimed to investigate the effect of MFN2 on the pathogenesis of cervical cancer.

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.
