  • Jian-Xun Wang et al. show that mitochondrial fission, which occurs during cell death, is regulated in cardiomyocytes by the microRNA miR-499 through a mechanism involving the phosphatase calcineurin and its substrate Drp1. Overexpression of miR-499 was able to reduce mitochondrial fission and apoptosis in the hearts of mice or rats injured by ischemia-reperfusion and to improve heart function, suggesting new therapeutic approaches for myocardial injury.

  • Abnormal mitochondrial fission leads to apoptosis and disease. Li and colleagues reveal the mechanism with which the transcription factor Foxo3a suppresses Fis1-mediated mitochondrial fission and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes and adrenocortical cancer cells, which involves miR-484 inhibition of Fis1 translation.
