Mitochondria undergo fission to generate fragmented discrete organelles, a process which is mediated by the mitochondrial fission proteins (Drp1, hFIS1, Mff and MiD49/51), and is required for cell division, and to remove damaged mitochondria by mitophagy. Mitochondria undergo fusion to form elongated interconnected networks, a process which is orchestrated by the mitochondrial fusion proteins (Mfn1, Mfn2 and OPA1), and which enables the replenishment of damaged mitochondrial DNA. In the adult heart, mitochondria are relatively static, are constrained in their movement, and are characteristically arranged into 3 distinct subpopulations based on their locality and function (subsarcolemmal, myofibrillar, and perinuclear). Although the mitochondria are arranged differently, emerging data supports a role for the mitochondrial shaping proteins in cardiac health and disease. Interestingly, in the adult heart, it appears that the pleiotropic effects of the mitochondrial fusion proteins, Mfn2 (endoplasmic reticulum-tethering, mitophagy) and OPA1 (cristae remodeling, regulation of apoptosis, and energy production) may play more important roles than their pro-fusion effects. In this review article, we provide an overview of the mitochondrial fusion and fission proteins in the adult heart, and highlight their roles as novel therapeutic targets for treating cardiac disease. date: 2017-02-11 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10557-016-6710-1 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1210239 doi: 10.1007/s10557-016-6710-1 pii: 10.1007/s10557-016-6710-1 lyricists_name: Hausenloy, Derek lyricists_id: DHAUS05 actors_name: Bracey, Alan actors_id: ABBRA90 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy volume: 31 number: 1 pagerange: 87-107 event_location: United States issn: 1573-7241 citation: Ong, SB; Kalkhoran, SB; Hernández-Reséndiz, S; Samangouei, P; Ong, SG; Hausenloy, DJ; (2017) Mitochondrial-Shaping Proteins in Cardiac Health and Disease - the Long and the Short of It!
