Chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are linked to several mitochondrial alterations. Cigarette smoke (CS) alters the structure and function of mitochondria. OPA1 is the main inner mitochondrial GTPase responsible for the fusion events. OPA1 undergoes proteolytic cleavage from long to short forms during acute stress and mitophagy. However, the exact role of OPA1 isoforms and related proteins during CS-induced mitophagy and COPD is not clear
