Mitofusins Mfn1 and Mfn2 are required to preserve glucose- but not incretin-stimulated β-cell connectivity and insulin secretion by Georgiadou, Eleni, Muralidharan, Charanya, Martinez, Michelle, Chabosseau, Pauline, Akalestou, Elina, Tomas, Alejandra, Yong, Fiona Su Wern, Stylianides, Theodoros, Wretlind, Asger, Legido-Quigley, Cristina, Jones, Ben, Lopez-Noriega, Livia, Xu, Yanwen, Gu, Guoqiang, Alsabeeh, Nour, Cruciani-Guglielmacci, Céline, Magnan, Christophe, Ibberson, Mark, Leclerc, Isabelle, Ali, Yusuf, Soleimanpour, Scott A., Linnemann, Amelia K., Rodriguez, Tristan A., Rutter, Guy A.

“…Whether mitofusin gene expression, and hence, mitochondrial network integrity, is important for glucose or incretin signaling has not previously been explored. Here, we generated mice with β-cell-selective, adult-restricted deletion knock-out (dKO) of the mitofusin genes Mfn1 and Mfn2 (βMfn1/2 dKO). βMfn1/2-dKO mice displayed elevated fed and fasted glycemia and a more than fivefold decrease in plasma insulin. …”
