Fig. 7. Effect of AIF overexpression on mitochondrial fission and fusion in the cortex.

Fig. 7

a Representative immunoblots of mitochondrial fission proteins (P-DRP1 and FIS1) in the mitochondrial fraction from cortical tissue of P9 WT and AIF Tg mice under physiological conditions. Quantification of P-DRP1 and FIS1 did not show a significant difference between WT and AIF Tg mice (n = 6/group). b Representative immunoblots of mitochondrial fusion proteins (OPA1 and MFN1) in the mitochondrial fraction from cortical tissue of P9 WT and AIF Tg mice under physiological conditions. Quantification of OPA1 and MFN1 did not show any significant difference between WT and AIF Tg mice (n = 6/group). c Immunoblotting of P-DRP1and FIS1 in the mitochondrial fraction from the cortical tissue of the CL and IL hemispheres in WT and AIF Tg mice at 24 h after HI. Quantification of P-DRP1 and FIS1 did not show any significant differences in the CL and IL hemispheres between WT and AIF Tg mice (n = 6/group). d Immunoblotting of OPA1 and MFN1 in the mitochondrial fraction from cortical tissue of the CL and IL hemispheres at 24 h after HI in WT and AIF Tg mice. The expression of MFN1 was significantly decreased at 24 h post-HI both in WT and AIF Tg mice, while the short form (82 kDa) and cleavage band of OPA1 were significantly increased at 24 h post-HI in both the WT and AIF Tg mice. Quantification of OPA1 and MFN1 did not show any significant differences in the CL and IL hemispheres between WT and AIF Tg mice (n = 6/group).
