Morphological analysis of mitochondria in Opa1 conditional knockout. (A) Representative images of primary Opa1flx/flx neurons (top) and Opa1flx/flx neurons with Cre (bottom). Panels (from left to right): ATP synthase (green) and TOM20 (red) merged, MAP2 (magenta), DAPI (blue), all channels merged. Scale bars = 10 µm. (B) Percentage of mitochondrial area per morphology in Opa1flx/flx cells (black) and Opa1flx/flx cells with Cre (gray). Mean ± SD (n = 9 per group). * indicates p < .05. (C) Representative Western blot displaying Opa1 and GAPDH protein levels across Cre-Lentivirus concentrations. Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 3. (D) Western blot quantification of Opa1 protein levels after Cre-Lentivirus treatment (n = 3). For all Opa1 cKO experiments, 1 × MOI Cre-Lentivirus was used.
