MFN2 contributes to metabolic disorders and inflammation in the aging of rat chondrocytes and osteoarthritis
19 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Metabolic disorders and inflammation of chondrocytes are major pathological changes in aging cells and osteoarthritis (OA). Recent studies demonstrated age-related mitochondrial dysfunction may be a key contributing factor in the development of OA. Mitofusin 2 (MFN2) is a key regulator of mitochondrial fusion, cell metabolism, autophagy and apoptosis. This study was performed to ascertain whether MFN2...
