Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.060 Biomarker disease BEFREE PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Mfn2 and Drp1, as the main regulators of the mitochondrial fusion and fission, play an important role in maintaining mitochondrial dynamics and type 2 diabetes. 31849103 2020
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.060 Biomarker disease BEFREE However, mitochondrial dynamics proteins including dynamin-related protein 1 and mitofusin-2 were not altered by T2DM and estrogen deprivation. 28923829 2017
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.060 Biomarker disease BEFREE Alterations in the mitochondrial regulatory pathways constituted by the nuclear co-factors PGC-1alpha or PGC-1beta and mitofusin 2 in skeletal muscle in type 2 diabetes. 20175989 2011
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.060 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Subjects with early-onset type 2 diabetes show defective activation of the skeletal muscle PGC-1{alpha}/Mitofusin-2 regulatory pathway in response to physical activity. 20032281 2010
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.060 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE In addition, other diseases such as type 2 diabetes or vascular proliferative disorders show impaired MFN2 expression. 19584314 2009
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.060 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE We conclude that body weight loss upregulates the expression of Mfn2 mRNA in skeletal muscle of obese humans, type 2 diabetes downregulates the expression of Mfn2 mRNA in skeletal muscle, Mfn2 expression in skeletal muscle is directly proportional to insulin sensitivity and is inversely proportional to the BMI, TNFalpha and interleukin-6 downregulate Mfn2 expression and may participate in the dysregulation of Mfn2 expression in obesity or type 2 diabetes, and the in vivo modulation of Mfn2 mRNA levels is an additional level of regulation for the control of muscle metabolism and could provide a molecular mechanism for alterations in mitochondrial function in obesity or type 2 diabetes. 16123358 2005
