Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of OPA1 perturbates the mitochondrial inner membrane structure and integrity, leading to cytochrome c release and apoptosis

TL;DR: It is suggested that OPA1 is a major organizer of the mitochondrial inner membrane from which the maintenance of the cristae integrity depends and that abnormal apoptosis is a possible pathophysiological process leading to the retinal ganglion cells degeneration in ADOA patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

OPA1 alternate splicing uncouples an evolutionary conserved function in mitochondrial fusion from a vertebrate restricted function in apoptosis

TL;DR: It is shown that Ex4 that is conserved throughout evolution confers functions to OPA1 involved in the maintenance of the ΔΨm and in the fusion of the mitochondrial network.
Journal ArticleDOI

OPA1 cleavage depends on decreased mitochondrial ATP level and bivalent metals.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the ATP-dependent OPA1 processing plays a central role in correlating the energetic metabolism to mitochondrial dynamic and might be involved in the pathophysiology of diseases associated to excess of iron or depletion of zinc and ATP.
Journal ArticleDOI

OPA1 functions in mitochondria and dysfunctions in optic nerve

TL;DR: The fundamental knowledge on OPA1 functions and regulations are reviewed, highlighting their involvements in mitochondrial respiration, membrane dynamic and apoptosis, and the remarkable RGC mitochondrial network physiology is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paclitaxel increases p21 synthesis and accumulation of its AKT-phosphorylated form in the cytoplasm of cancer cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that low doses of PTX that are unable to activate the spindle assembly checkpoint, upregulate p21 by a p53-dependent pathway and induce its translocation to the cytoplasm.
