Fig. 3. Fen disrupts mitochondrial dynamics and morphology and reduces mitochondrial mass in vitro.

Fig. 3

a Mitochondria were analyzed by confocal microscopy with anti-PDH antibodies (a mitochondrial matrix protein, in green) and DAPI. White arrows indicate swollen mitochondria. b Histogram of mitochondrial aspect ratios. c Average mitochondrial size (n = 4334 mitochondria from the control group, n = 709 mitochondria from with Fen group). d Average mitochondrial aspect ratio (n = 4334 mitochondria from the control group, n = 709 mitochondria from the Fen group). e Quantitative analysis of PDH fluorescence. f The represent image of TEM. Black arrows indicate swollen mitochondria. g In vitro and h in vivo protein levels of Drp1, Mfn-1, and Mfn-2 detected by Western blotting (above panel) and quantitative analysis of protein-band intensities (below panel). Figure 2f and h are represent same samples, therefore, Actin in Fig. 2f and h are completely identical. For all quantitative/statistical analysis, *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001, and “ns” denotes no significant difference. All data are presented as means ± SEMs. Scale bars are 20 μm in a and 500 nm in f.
