A high-throughput, high-content PINK-1/PINK1 stabilization screen yielded eight hit compounds. (a) The accumulation of PINK-1/PINK1 in the outer mitochondrial membrane of damaged mitochondria initiates mitophagy. 45,000 compounds were screened in C. elegans resulting in eight PINK-1/PINK1 stabilizers. (b) Fluorescent (raw) and cell profiler-processed (processed) images of C. elegans carrying Ppink-1::PINK-1/PINK1::GFP or N2 wild-type after 24 h of treatment with Na2SeO3, PS135, or DMSO control. Representative images are shown. (c) Quantification of GFP fluorescence of C. elegans carrying Ppink-1::PINK-1/PINK1::GFP after 72 h treatment with 7 mM Na2SeO3 or DMSO control. Three biological replicates for (b, c) were performed and analyzed.
