Table 1.

SPG4-derived neurons have decreased frequency of retrograde fast axonal transport motile events.

The velocity and frequency of mitochondrial motility were quantified in week 8 control and SPG4-derived neurons. No velocity differences were found in either the anterograde or retrograde direction. The frequency of total motile events was significantly decreased in SPG4 neurons. Though there was a non-significant trend toward reduction of anterograde motile events in SPG4 neurons, retrograde events were significantly reduced. Data are presented as means ±SEM. Statistical significance was determined using a two-sided t-test.
