Mitochondrial analysis in Myc cdKO mEPCs. (A) Mitochondrial quantity and activity in Myc cdKO mEPCs treated for 2 days. Data represent the mean with SD (n = 3). *p < 0.0001. (B) Mitochondrial superoxide levels in 4OH-treaed cells. Data represent the mean with SD (n = 3). *p < 0.0001. (C) Rescue effect of Mitotempo. Left, representative image of each condition. Right, quantification of total cell number. Data represent the mean with SE. ns = non-significant, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.0001. (D) Rescue effect of Mitotempo on cell size. *p < 0.0001. (E) Histogram of the cell size distribution. (F) qPCR analysis for Mitotempo-rescued cells. Data represent the mean with SD (n = 3). (G) Proposed model of Myc function supporting self-renewal of the esophageal basal cells.
