MitoTracker Red dye (M7512, red) and YFP (green) fluorescence of fresh epithelial cells (A) and epithelial cells after 24 hrs of cold storage and 1 hr of reperfusion (B). The LLC-EZ cells show strong MitoTracker Red staining after cold storage and warm reperfusion, whereas the non-transfected cells show almost no signal. The co-localization and proportionality of the MitoTracker Red and the YFP fluorescent signals in the cold stored LLC-EZ cells (B-Left, arrows) suggests an ezrin-induced protection of the inner mitochondrial potential required for mitochondrial function and ATP synthesis.
