OPA1 Controls Apoptotic Cristae Remodeling Independently from Mitochondrial Fusion

TLDR
Evidence is provided that Optic Atrophy 1 (OPA1), a profusion dynamin-related protein of the inner mitochondrial membrane mutated in dominant optic atrophy, protects from apoptosis by preventing cytochrome c release independently from mitochondrial fusion.

Antagonistic effects of selenium on cadmium-induced apoptosis by restoring the mitochondrial dynamic equilibrium and energy metabolism in chicken spleens.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the cadmium treatment promoted a mitochondrial dynamic imbalance and reduced energy metabolism, leading to apoptosis and immune dysfunction in chicken spleens, and selenium had an antagonistic effect on Cd-induced apoptosis.

Mitochondrial cristae narrowing upon higher 2-oxoglutarate load

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cristae morphology changes even within minutes, and the increased Krebs substrate load stimulates the cross-linking/strengthening of rows of ATP-synthase dimers at the crista rims, making them sharper.

Novel Roles of Epoxyeicosanoids in Regulating Cardiac Mitochondria.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that EET-mediated events significantly improved mitochondrial function as assessed by preservation of the ADP/ATP ratio and oxidative respiratory capacity and increased DNA binding activity of pCREB and Nrf1/2 and increased SIRT1 activity together with elevated mitochondrial proteins suggest EET -mediated events led to preserved mitobiogenesis.

Mitochondrial proteolysis: Its emerging roles in stress responses

TL;DR: This review summarizes current advances in mitochondrial proteolysis-mediated stress responses and concludes that Mitochondrial proteases do not only function as surveillance systems of protein quality control by degrading unfolded proteins but also regulate mitochondrial stress responses by processing specific mitochondrial proteins.

Proapoptotic BAX and BAK: A Requisite Gateway to Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Death

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that doubly deficient cells are resistant to multiple apoptotic stimuli that act through disruption of mitochondrial function: staurosporine, ultraviolet radiation, growth factor deprivation, etoposide, and the endoplasmic reticulum stress stimuli thapsigargin and tunicamycin.

The Pathophysiology of Mitochondrial Cell Death

TL;DR: The therapeutic induction of MOMP may restore apoptosis in cancer cells in which it is disabled, and the general rules governing the pathophysiology and controversial issues regarding its regulation are discussed.

Two CD95 (APO-1/Fas) signaling pathways

TL;DR: In the presence of caspase‐3 the amount of active casp enzyme‐8 generated at the DISC determines whether a mitochondria‐independent apoptosis pathway is used (type I cells) or not (type II cells).

The expanding role of mitochondria in apoptosis

TL;DR: The complexity of the apoptotic program began to increase with the discovery of Bcl-2, a gene whose product causes resistance to apoptosis in lymphocytes, and the complex role of mitochondria in apoptosis came into focus when biochemical studies identified several mitochondrial proteins that are able to activate cellular apoptotic programs directly.

Mitofusins Mfn1 and Mfn2 coordinately regulate mitochondrial fusion and are essential for embryonic development

TL;DR: It is concluded that Mfn1 and Mfn2 have both redundant and distinct functions and act in three separate molecular complexes to promote mitochondrial fusion, and by enabling cooperation between mitochondria, has protective effects on the mitochondrial population.
