Figure 9. Overexpression of DLP1 induces mitochondrial elongation.

Figure 9

Clone 9 cells expressing GFP in the mitochondrial matrix were transfected with untagged full-length wild type DLP1, and immunostained for DLP1. Overexpression of DLP1 induces the formation of elongated and entangled mitochondria (A, A'). A DLP1-overexpressing cell shown in (B) contains long tubular mitochondria along with short fragmented ones. Cell counting indicates that DLP1 overexpression increased mitochondrial elongation (C). Error bars represent SEM. ‘T’ denotes transfected cells. Scale bars: 10 µm.
