Loss of full-length APC induces perinuclear redistribution of mitochondria. (A) APC was silenced in U2OS cells by siRNA (APC #1 and #2), and mitochondrial distribution was analyzed by immunofluorescence microscopy after cells were stained for mitochondria (CMX-Ros) and APC. The microtubule network remained intact (α-tubulin). (B) The distribution of mitochondria in different “zones” was scored (C), revealing redistribution of mitochondria to the perinuclear region (zone 1) with APC siRNAs (***, p < 0.001). (D) Loss of APC in U2OS cells was confirmed by Western blot. (E) HDF1314 cells treated with EB1 siRNA were stained for mitochondrial distribution (CMX-Ros) and EB1. Cells displaying EB1 knockdown are indicated (*). (F) Scoring of mitochondrial distribution after EB1 silencing revealed no significant difference relative to control (n.s., not significant). Bar graph data are presented as mean (±SD), statistical analysis by unpaired two-tailed t test with Bonferroni correction (C and F). Scale bars: 10 μm.
