Effects of Lon protease downregulation on lipofuscin formation during SIPS. HeLa cells were stably transfected with a doxycycline (Dox) inducible vector expressing a short hairpin RNA against Lon protease. Successful Lon protease downregulation was verified by immunoblot (A). Panel B represents lipofuscin accumulation after PQ-induced SIPS in Lon-deficient HeLa cells. Autofluorescence intensities were measured by Cell Lab Quanta™ SC MPL flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Krefeld, Germany) (Ex: 360 nm, Em: 252 nm). Panel C shows lipofuscin accumulation quantified after fission inhibition with Mdivi-1 during PQ-induced SIPS in Lon protease (Lon) deficient HeLa cells. Statistically significant differences to the corresponding control (untreated) are indicated by ‘*’, comparison to the corresponding SIPS control are marked by ‘#’.
