OXPHOS activity and mitochondrial structure in Twinkle KOs. a In situ histochemical activity analysis of mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes in cortex. Brown: Complex IV, contains mtDNA-encoded subunits. Blue: fully nuclear-encoded Complex II. Arrows: respiratory chain deficient cells with astrocyte (TwKOastro) or neuronal (TwKOneuro) morphology. Inset in TwKOneuro: hippocampus, COX-deficient cells pointed with arrows. b Mitochondrial Complex II (SDHA, green) immuno-co-stained with astrocytes (GFAP, red), arrows point the same cells. TwKOastro astrocytes show punctate mitochondrial accumulations. c Ultrastructure of mitochondria (arrows and purple pseudocolor). Green = nuclei, yellow = neuronal projections. Brain graph shows sampling site. Scale bars: 50 μm (a, b), 5 μm (c)
