Percentage of desmosomes associated with at least one mitochondrion in FS cells.

WT		Nhe2−/−
% Desmosomes with at least 1 mitochondrion	% Desmosomes with 2 mitochondria	% Desmosomes with at least 1 mitochondrion	% Desmosomes with 2 mitochondria
66.0 ± 23.0	52.3 ± 11.2	12.1 ± 2.5, P = .08*	7.1 ± 3.6, P = .02*

Desmosomal-mitochondrial associations in FS cells from WT and Nhe2^−/− mice (n = 3 for each group) were analyzed by electron microscopy. Note that the desmosomes associated with two mitochondria (one from each FS cell) are a subset of those associated with at least 1 mitochondrion. *P values are relative to corresponding WT control.
