Titration of mitochondrial fusion rescues Mff-deficient cardiomyopathy

Abstract: Mice deficient for mitochondrial fission factor (Mff) die from severe cardiomyopathy, but cardiac function, tissue integrity, and mitochondrial respiration are robustly rescued by rebalancing mitochondrial dynamics through deletion of Mitofusin 1 (Mfn1).

“…Previous reports suggested that mitochondrial autophagy is stimulated rather than inhibited when Drp1 or Miff, a major receptor for Drp1, is downregulated 26, 27 . Our study used Mito-Keima, EM, and evaluation of mitochondrial content, while the other study used mitochondrial accumulation of p62 and LC3-II, aggregation of Parkin, and co-localization of mitochondrial proteins and lysosomes as indicators of mitophagy 26 .…”

“…It has been shown recently that cardiac and mitochondrial dysfunction caused by downregulation of Miff can be rescued by concomitant downregulation of Mfn1 27 , suggesting that balancing mitochondrial fusion and fission is critical for the maintenance of mitochondrial function in the heart. Aside from the effect on mitochondrial autophagy, whether or not the lack of appropriate fission in Drp1-hetCKO mice also contributes to the enhancement of HF in these mice during PO remains to be elucidated.…”

“…This apparent discrepancy, together with our observations that inhibiting fusion or fission individually does not affect lifespan in C. elegans , may indicate an evolutionary shift in the effects of altered mitochondrial morphology on lifespan. Furthermore, recent work performed in mice demonstrated that concomitant deletion of Mfn1 in Mff mutant (fission-deficient) mice restores mitochondrial network balance and leads to rescue of mitochondrial function and tissue integrity (Chen et al, 2015). Our data further show that co-inhibiting fusion and fission increases FAO capacity in mammalian cells, which is required for drp-1;fzo-1 longevity.…”

“…Several studies have concluded that Mff is the major receptor for Drp1 (Liu and Chan, 2015;Loson et al, 2013;Otera et al, 2010); however, the degree of mitochondrial elongation in ΔMff MEFs was similar to that seen in ΔMiD51 or ΔMiD49/51 MEFs. Recently, it has been found that mice lacking Mff can live for up to 13 weeks and eventually die from cardiomyopathy due to mitochondrial fission defects (Chen et al, 2015). This phenotype is significantly milder than the embryonic lethality seen for Drp1-knockout mice (Ishihara et al, 2009;Wakabayashi et al, 2009), suggesting that mitochondrial fission can take place in other tissues lacking Mff (Chen et al, 2015).…”

Mff might also play an important role in neurons given its ability to efficiently stimulate the GTPase activity of the brainspecific Drp1 isoform compared to the ubiquitously expressed isoform (Macdonald et al, 2015).…”
