Figure 5. Drp1 S616 is phosphorylated in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
(A) Three serial sections were cut from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections from 12 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) or antibodies against phospho-Drp1 (S616) and phospho-Erk1/2 (T202/Y204). Representative images of colocalization are shown from 6 tumors. Scale Bar = 100μm (IHC). (B) The levels of phospho-Drp1 (S616) and phospho-Erk1/2 (T202/Y204) staining, as well as the degree of co-localization, were determined for each of 12 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas examined. (C) Additional sections were cut from two of the tumors (7, 11) and stained with an anti-mitochondria antibody (MTC02) to detect mitochondria (red). Blue: DAPI. Scale Bar = 20μm.
