The mitochondrial fission protein 1 (FIS1) is essential for mitochondrial division or fission and has been determined to mediate mitochondrial and peroxisomal fission. Other studies also found that FIS1 functions as an essential component of the mitophagy and apoptosis pathways in mammalian cells, suggesting that FIS1 has multiple important roles. Here, we generated homozygous FIS1 knockout human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. This cell line exhibits normal karyotype, pluripotency, and trilineage differentiation potential, which could provide a useful cellular resource for exploring the functions of FIS1 and their implications in human health and diseases.

Background: The majority of CAKUT-associated CNVs overlap at least one miRNA gene, thus affecting the cellular levels of the corresponding miRNA. We aimed to investigate the potency of restitution of CNV-affected miRNA levels to remediate the dysregulated expression of target genes involved in kidney physiology and development in vitro.
Methods: Heterozygous MIR484 knockout HEK293 and homozygous MIR185 knockout HEK293 cell lines were used as models depicting the deletion of the frequently affected miRNA genes by CAKUT-associated CNVs.

Deletion of mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) has been shown to aggravate ischemic damage in the brain. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The objective of this study is to explore the impact of homozygous UCP2 deletion (UCP2) on mitochondrial fission and fusion dynamic balance in ischemic mice under normo- and hyperglycemic conditions.

Mitochondria, the major organelles that produce energy for cell survival and function, dynamically change their morphology via fusion and fission, a process called mitochondrial dynamics. The details of the underlying mechanism of mitochondrial dynamics have not yet been elucidated. Here, we aimed to investigate the function of mitochondrial fission genes in embryonic stem cells (ESCs).

The objective of this study was to elucidate the effect of VDAC1 on Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related genes, mitochondrial activity, and synaptic viability. Recent knockout studies of VDAC1 revealed that homozygote VDAC1 knockout (VDAC1-/-) mice exhibited disrupted learning and synaptic plasticity, and in contrast, VDAC1+/- mice appeared normal in terms of lifespan, fertility, and viability relative to wild-type mice. However, the effects of reduced VDAC1 on mitochondrial/synaptic genes and mitochondrial function in AD-affected neurons are not well understood.
