Elimination of CPNS1 decreases cytochrome c loss and PARP activation during ISC–REP. In wild type mice, ISC–REP led to increased cytochrome c content in cytosol compared to time control (a,c). However, ISC–REP did not increase cytochrome c content in cytosol in KO (knockout) mice compared to time control (b,d). These results suggest that elimination of CPNS1 maintained mitochondrial outer membrane integrity during ISC–REP. In wild type mice, ISC–REP led to increased PARP cleavage compared to time control (e,g). However, ISC–REP did not increase PARP cleavage in KO mice compared to time control (f,h), indicating that elimination of CPNS1 prevented AIF-mediated PARP cleavage during ISC–REP. Data are expressed as mean ± SD; *p < 0.05 vs. time control. n = 4 in each group. Not every sample was used for immunoblotting in each group.
