PGAM5-Mediated PHB2 Dephosphorylation Contributes to Diabetic Cardiomyopathy by Disrupting Mitochondrial Quality Surveillance

Disruption of the mitochondrial quality surveillance (MQS) system contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). In this study, we observed that cardiac expression of phosphoglycerate mutase 5 (PGAM5), a mitochondrial Ser/Thr protein phosphatase, is upregulated in mice with streptozotocin-induced DCM. Notably, DCM-related cardiac structural and functional deficits were negated in cardiomyocyte-specific
