E2F1 activates MFN2 expression by binding to the promoter and decreases mitochondrial fission and mitophagy in HeLa cells
5 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
Mitofusin-2 (MFN2) is primarily involved in mitochondrial fusion and participates in diverse biological processes. Several reports show that MFN2 is a target of different miRNAs; however, the transcriptional regulation of MFN2 has not been extensively studied. To gain insight into the transcriptional regulation of MFN2, we expressed E2F transcription factor 1 (E2F1) exogenously and observed that it increased the...
