Figure 3. Effects of the absence of GSK3β activity.

Figure 3

A: Dominant negative GSK3β K85 (DN- GSK3β) transfection reduces the percentage of motile mitochondria (F1,16 = 16.794; p = 0.001). B: Number of anterograde movements after DN-GSK3β transfection is increased compared to pcDNA3-transfected neurons (F1,16 = 10.085; p = 0.007). C: Number of retrograde movements after DN-GSK3β transfection is decreased compared to that of pcDNA3-transfected neurons (F1,17 = 32.054; p = 0.001). D–E: Absence of GSK3β activity modifies the average anterograde (F1,18 = 5.297; p = 0.034) but not the retrograde run length. F–G: The lack of GSK3β activity decreases the velocity of anterograde mitochondrial trafficking (F) (F1,17 = 4.257; p = 0.048) whereas it does not modify the speed of individual retrograde movements (G). H: The number of mitochondria per length unit remains unchanged after DN-GSK3β transfection. Asterisk: * 0.05>p≥0.01; ** 0.01>p≥0.001.
