Mitochondrial fission process 1 (MTFP1) controls bioenergetic efficiency and prevents inflammatory cardiomyopathy and heart failure in mice
2021-10-22
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondria are paramount to the metabolism and survival of cardiomyocytes. Here we show that Mitochondrial Fission Process 1 (MTFP1) is essential for cardiac structure and function. Constitutive knockout of cardiomyocyte MTFP1 in mice resulted in adult-onset dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) characterized by sterile inflammation and cardiac fibrosis that progressed to heart failure and middle-aged death. Failing hear...
