Prevention and regression of megamitochondria and steatosis by blocking mitochondrial fusion in the liver

TLDR
In this article , gene knockout of OPA1, a mitochondrial dynamin-related GTPase that mediates mitochondrial fusion, prevents megamitochondria formation and liver damage in a NASH mouse model induced by a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet.

Mitochondrial alterations in fatty liver diseases.

TL;DR: A review of the current knowledge on hepatic mitochondria with a focus on fatty liver diseases linked to obesity, type 2 diabetes and xenobiotics is presented in this article , which highlights the need to better understand their mutual interaction and potentiation in disease progression.

Opa1 and Drp1 reciprocally regulate cristae morphology, ETC function, and NAD+ regeneration in KRas-mutant lung adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: The results support a model in which mitochondrial fission events disrupt cristae structure and tumor cells with hyperactive fission activity require Opa1 activity to maintain ETC function.

Opa1 and Drp1 reciprocally regulate cristae morphology, ETC function, and NAD+ regeneration in KRas-mutant lung adenocarcinoma

- 01 Dec 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the role of mitochondrial dynamics in other Ras-driven malignancies is poorly defined, but it is shown that in vitro and in vivo growth of KRas-driven lung adenocarcinoma is unaffected by deletion of Drp1 but is inhibited by the deletion of Opa1, the GTPase that regulates inner membrane fusion and proper cristae morphology.

Linking nutrient sensing, mitochondrial function, and PRR immune cell signaling in liver disease.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors hypothesize that altered mitochondrial function, classic PRR signaling and complement activation in response to nutrient overload together play an integrated role across the immune cell landscape, leading to liver inflammation and NASH progression.

From Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver to Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Story of (Mal)Adapted Mitochondria

TL;DR: In this paper , a review summarizes evidence linking mitochondrial dysfunction with NAFLD pathophysiology, discriminating it in different disease stages (simple steatosis, steatohepatitis, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma).

Mitofusin 2 tethers endoplasmic reticulum to mitochondria

TL;DR: It is shown that mitofusin 2, a mitochondrial dynamin-related protein mutated in the inherited motor neuropathy Charcot–Marie–Tooth type IIa, is enriched at the ER–mitochondria interface, and that it tethers ER to mitochondria, a juxtaposition required for efficient mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake.

Modeling the epidemic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease demonstrates an exponential increase in burden of disease

TL;DR: With continued high rates of adult obesity and DM along with an aging population, NAFLD‐related liver disease and mortality will increase in the United States and strategies to slow the growth ofNAFLD cases and therapeutic options are necessary to mitigate disease burden.

Dual roles for glucokinase in glucose homeostasis as determined by liver and pancreatic beta cell-specific gene knock-outs using Cre recombinase.

TL;DR: These studies indicate that deficiencies in both β cell and hepatic GK contribute to the hyperglycemia of MODY-2, and suggest that heterozygous null for GK, either globally or just in the β cell, survive but are moderately hyperglycemic.

Efficient Reduction of Target RNAs by Small Interfering RNA and RNase H-dependent Antisense Agents: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS *

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study of optimized antisense oligonucleotides designed to work by an RNA interference mechanism to oligon nucleotide-dependent mechanisms in human cells was performed and the potency, maximal effectiveness, duration of action, and sequence specificity of optimized RNase H-dependent oligonuclotide and small interfering RNA (siRNA) oligoneucleotide duplexes were evaluated and found to be comparable.
