Fig. 9. Effects of C12 on cytochrome C and nuclei in WT and DKO MEF.
WT and DKO MEF grown on coverslips were incubated with Ringer’s (control) or Ringer’s + 50 μM C12 (C12) for 1 hr followed by fixation, staining (Hoechst 33342 for nuclei and anti-cytochrome C) and confocal imaging of cytochrome C and Hoechst 33342. Arrows point to cytochrome C staining in the nuclei in C12-treated cells. Arrowheads point to nuclei that were shrunken and fragmented in C12-treated cells. Images are typical of >100 cells each in three similar experiments.
