Inhibition of mitochondrial fragmentation diminishes Huntington's disease-associated neurodegeneration.
Huntington's disease (HD) is the result of expression of a mutated Huntingtin protein (mtHtt), and is associated with a variety of cellular dysfunctions including excessive mitochondrial fission. Here, we tested whether inhibition of excessive mitochondrial fission prevents mtHtt-induced pathology. We developed a selective inhibitor (P110-TAT) of the mitochondrial fission protein dynamin-relate...
متن کاملMitochondrial Fragmentation Due to Inhibition of Fusion Increases Cyclin B through Mitochondrial Superoxide Radicals
During the cell cycle, mitochondria undergo regulated changes in morphology. Two particularly interesting events are first, mitochondrial hyperfusion during the G(1)-S transition and second, fragmentation during entry into mitosis. The mitochondria remain fragmented between late G(2)- and mitotic exit. This mitotic mitochondrial fragmentation constitutes a checkpoint in some cell types, of whic...
متن کاملMitochondrial Dysfunction in Neurodegeneration
The mitochondrial respiratory chain (RC) is responsible for providing most of the cellular energy in the form of ATP, and is also one of the main sites of reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. The RC, consisting of five enzyme complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane, is unique in its bipartite dependence on both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). One example of this is mitochondria...
متن کاملTopic: Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Neurodegeneration
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD) are of growing public health concern in developed countries and the need for novel effective treatments continues to increase. Neurodegenerative diseases take many forms, reflecting the degeneration of different populations of neurons at different times from distinct causes, but many of them also share common features. Amongst the comm...

A.K. Reeve et al. (eds.), Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Neurodegenerative Disorders, DOI 10.1007/978-0-85729-701-3_2, © Springer-Verlag London Limited 2012 Abstract Mitochondria are critically responsible for the generation of energy in the form of ATP through the electron transport chain (ETC). The central nervous system (CNS) performs highly energy-intensive tasks and is therefore particularly...
