Confocal microscopy images showing purified CD8+ T cells and CD8+NKp30+ ITNKs in which the mitochondria (MitoTracker; green) and nuclei (Hoechst; blue) are stained. Each dot represents the mean relative length of the 24 mitochondria per replicate. Scale bars: 5 μm.
Confocal microscopy images showing purified CD4+ T cells and CD4+NKp30+ ITNKs in which the mitochondria (MitoTracker; green) and nuclei (Hoechst; blue) are stained. Each dot represents the mean relative length of the 24 mitochondria per replicate. Scale bars: 5 μm.
ITNKs that were derived from T cells transduced with sgBCL11B, sgMTA2, sgMBD2, or sgCHD4 or sgCtrl‐transduced T cells were cultured for 10 days for observation of mitochondrial morphology. Confocal microscopy images are shown; mitochondria (MitoTracker; green); nuclei (Hoechst; blue), and NKp30 (purple) are stained. Scale bars: 5 μm.
CD4+NKp30+ and CD8+NKp30+ ITNKs derived from sgBCL11B‐transduced T cells were purified and assessed the mitochondrial functions by FACS. CD8+ T cells and CD8+NKp30+ ITNKs (left) and CD4+ T cells and CD4+NKp30+ ITNKs (right) were stained with MitoTracker green and analyzed by flow cytometry.
CD8+ T cells and CD8+NKp30+ ITNKs (left) and CD4+ T cells and CD4+NKp30+ ITNKs (right) were stained with TMRM and analyzed by flow cytometry.
CD8+ T cells and CD8+NKp30+ ITNKs (left) and CD4+ T cells and CD4+NKp30+ ITNKs (right) were stained with MitoSOX and analyzed by flow cytometry.
