Mitofusin-2 down-regulation by miR-195 changes mitochondrial morphology and promote mitochondrial fission.
Mitochondria become rounded, small and fragmented upon up-regulation of miR-195 and gets tubular in shape upon treatment of MFN2 along with miR-195 and Mdivi-1 treatment in (a) MCF-7 cells and (b) MDAMB-231 cells. Bar: 100 µm. The mean branch length of mitochondria reduces upon miR-195 treatment and restored back upon treatment of MFN2 along with miR-195 and Mdivi-1 treatment in (c)MCF-7 and (d)MDAMB-231, mean branch length ±SE for n = 3 was plotted, *: p< 0.05, ***: p< 0.001.
