TRAIL and 3-MA disrupt the mitochondrial network in a tumor-specific manner. (A) A2058 cultured on the imaging chamber was treated with the agents at the indicated concentrations alone or in combination for 24 h at 37°C. After washing, the cells were stained with Hoechst 33342 and MitoTracker Red CMXRos for 1 h and washed again. Images were obtained using a fluorescence microscope. The zoom panels represent the expansion of the small white boxes within MitoTracker images. Scale bar, 10 µm. (C) HDFs cultured on the imaging chamber was treated with the agents at the indicated concentrations alone or in combination for 24 h at 37°C. The graph in (B) shows the percentages of mitochondria with four different types of morphology, i.e., tubular, fission, fragmentation, and swelling and clustering in each sample. TRAIL, tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand; 3-MA, 3-methyladenine.
