Abstract
Mitochondria are involved in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism, calcium homeostasis, and apoptosis. For mitochondrial quality control, dynamic processes, such as mitochondrial fission and fusion, are necessary to maintain shape and function. Disturbances of mitochondrial dynamics lead to dysfunctional mitochondria which contribute to the development and progression of numerous diseases, including Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Compelling evidence put forward that mitochondrial dynamics play a significant role in the metabolism-secretion coupling of pancreatic β cells. The disruption of mitochondrial dynamics is linked with defects in energy production and increased apoptosis, ultimately impairing insulin secretion and β cell death. This review provides an overview of altered mitochondrial dynamics in pancreatic β cells using ge-netic/pharmacologic approaches, and how these affect insulin secretion.
