Additional file 3 of Human midbrain organoids reveal the characteristics of axonal mitochondria specific to dopaminergic neurons

Résumé fourni par la source

Additional file3. Analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential in axons of midbrain organoids derived from other TH-GFP iPSC lines. (a) Live-cell imaging of axons of GFP-positive dopaminergic and GFP-negative non-dopaminergic neurons in midbrain organoids stained with TMRM. Green and white dotted lines indicate mitochondria in axons of dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic neurons, respectively. “PRKN” represents PRKN-mutant patient. Scale bar, 2 µm. (b) Mean TMRM MFI in all mitochondria per each axon from live-cell images. Data were acquired from GFP-negative (n = 42) and GFP-positive (n = 8) axons from two fields of two organoids in the control B7 T1-3 line, from GFP-negative (n = 21) and GFP-positive (n = 3) axons from two fields of two organoids in the control WD39 T1-2 line, and from GFP-negative (n = 68) and GFP-positive (n = 3) axons from two fields of two organoids in the PRKN-mutant PB2 T1-1 line. The graph shows the relative comparison of the mean TMRM MFI of mitochondria in GFP-negative and GFP-positive neurites. “PRKN” represents PRKN-mutant patient. Values are shown as the mean ± SEM. The differences were evaluated using the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. The mean TMRM MFI of mitochondria significantly differs between dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic neurons in the control line 201B7 T1-3 (P = 0.0005; effect size, 0.329; 95% CI, 0.207 to 0.622) and WD39 T1-2 (P = 0.0069; effect size, 0.578; 95% CI, 0.372 to 0.772), whereas no significant difference is observable in the PRKN-mutant PB2 T1-1 line (P = 0.486; effect size, 0.124, 95% CI, −0.225 to 0.329). CI: confidence interval, GFP: green fluorescence protein, iPSC: induced pluripotent stem cell, MFI: mean fluorescence intensity, n.s.: not significant, SEM: standard error of the mean, TH: tyrosine hydroxylase, TMRM: tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester
