Delivery of CoQ10 into mitochondria by BPM31510 affects total respiration in MIA PaCa-2 and PANC1. (a) Dose effect of BPM31510 on total respiration in MIA PaCa-2 and PANC1 cells. State 3 respiration on pyruvate/malate + succinate + glycerol-3-phosphate of cells exposed to BPM31510 at 24 h. The data represent the means ± SEM of three independent experiments with five replicates (n = 15). (b) Fluorescently tagged CoQ10 (red) from BPM31510 (200 μM) colocalized with the mitochondria (MitoTracker; green) in MIA PaCa-2 and PANC1 cells after 24 h exposure. (c) BPM31510 treatment increased the total CoQ10 levels in MIA PaCa-2 and PANC1 cells as measured by LC MS/MS after 24 h and 48 h exposures. The data represent the means + SEM of total protein (nmol/mg) from six independent experiments. The data were analysed by Student’s t tests; ****=p < 0.0001 compared to untreated control; ++=p < 0.01 compared to the 24 h time point. The scale bar present in each merged image represents 10 mM.
