Figure 8. Cellular uptake of purified mitochondria carrying syncytin 1 by cancer cells.

Figure 8

Panel A: trans-membranouscellular uptakeof prepared mitochondria, which were previously dual labeled with red MitoTracker® (picture A1) and simultaneously with anti-syncytin 1 (HERV-WE1) antibody-FITC (picture A2) into U87RETO cells (endogenous mitochondria notlabeled). Picture A3: negative control, DNA was labeled with DAPI. Picture A4: combined staining with all three merged channels. Magnification 40x. The figure is representative of at least n = 3 independent experiments. Panel B, picture B1: cellular uptakeof prepared mitochondria, which were previously labeled only with anti-syncytin 1 antibody-FITC into U87RETO cells, with endogenous mitochondria previously not labeled. Picture B2: trans-membranous cellular uptake of prepared mitochondria, which were previously labeled only with anti-syncytin 1 antibody-FITC into U87RETO cells, with endogenous mitochondria previously labeled with red MitoTracker®. Picture B3: negative control: endogenous mitochondria not labeled and prepared mitochondria previously only labeled with rabbit-FITC conjugated secondary antibody.
