ABSTRACT
Metabolism research is increasingly recognizing the contributions of organelle crosstalk to metabolic regulation. Mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs), which are structures connecting the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER), are critical in a myriad of cellular functions linked to cellular metabolism. MAMs control calcium signaling, mitochondrial transport, redox balance, protein folding/degradation, and in some studies, metabolic health. The possibility that MAMs drive changes in cellular function in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is controversial. Although disruptions in MAMs that change the distance between the mitochondria and ER, MAM protein composition, or disrupt downstream signaling, can perpetuate inflammation, one key trait of T2D. However, the full scope of this structure's role in immune cell health and thus T2D-associated inflammation remains unknown. We show that human immune cell MAM proteins and their associated functions are not altered by T2D and thus unlikely to contribute to metaflammation.
