Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) is involved in the regulation of mitochondrial fission and fusion. This report aims to explore whether Mcl-1 can interact with mitochondrial fission factor (Mff) and regulate Mff-mediated mitochondrial fragmentation and apoptosis. Fluorescence images of living cells coexpressing YFP-Mff and CFP-Mcl-1 showed that Mcl-1 markedly inhibited Mff-mediated mitochondrial fragmentation and apoptosis, suggesting that Mcl-1 played a key role in inhibiting mitochondrial fission. The cells coexpressing YFP-Mff and CFP-Mcl-1 exhibited consistent fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) efficiency with that of the cells coexpressing CFP-Mcl-1 and YFP, demonstrating that Mcl-1 did not directly bind to Mff on mitochondria. Collectively, Mcl-1 inhibits Mff-mediated mitochondrial fission and apoptosis not via directly binding to Mff on mitochondria.

High-fat diet (HFD) has been linked to female infertility. However, the specific age at which HFD impacts ovarian function and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we administered a HFD to female mice at various developmental stages: pre-puberty (4 weeks old), post-puberty (6 weeks old), young adult (9 weeks old), and middle age (32 weeks old).

This study investigated the mechanism by which NR4A1 regulates mitochondrial fission factor (Mff)-related mitochondrial fission and FUN14 domain 1 (FUNDC1)-mediated mitophagy following cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury(I/R). Our findings showed that the damage regulation was positively correlated with the pathological fission and pan-apoptosis of myocardial cell mitochondria. Compared with wild-type mice (WT), NR4A1-knockout mice exhibited resistance to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and mitochondrial pathological fission, characterized by mitophagy activation.

Kaempferol has been suggested to be an effective anticancer agent in several malignant tumors. However, its function and mechanisms in breast precancerous lesions remain largely elusive. Here, we showed that kaempferol induced excessive mitochondrial fission and mitochondrial damage with activated mitochondrial fission factor (MFF)-mediated dynamin-related protein (DRP) 1 mitochondrial translocation.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most important complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) and has become the second cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study intends to investigate the molecular mechanism of increased mitochondrial fission in podocytes under the effect of high glucose (HG), and to preliminarily study the role of mitochondrial fission factor (MFF)-mediated mitochondrial fission in podocyte injury of DN. In vitro studies, we found that HG induced increased mitochondrial fission and podocyte damage.
