Mitochondrial gene therapy increases respiration in LS cells. (A) Two weeks after exposure to mtDNA+rhTFAM (gray) or rhTFAM only (black), LS cells showed increased respiration, increased sensitivity to oligomycin, and lowered uncoupled respiration compared with untreated CTL (beige). Respiration is expressed as pmol of O2/(sec/106 cells). (B) A recording of the different aspects of the respiration profile of LS (CTL) cells after 2 weeks. (C) An overlay of the respiration recording of LS cells treated with mtDNA+rhTFAM (green) over CTL (red). (D) Two to 3 weeks after exposure to mtDNA+rhTFAM (gray), LS cells showed increased ROUTINE respiration compared with rhTFAM only (black). Respiration is expressed as pmol of O2/(sec/106 cells). (E) mtDNA+rhTFAM treatment but not rhTFAM alone increased oligomycin-sensitive LEAK respiration after 2 and 3 weeks.
