Mitochondrial transplantation in endothelial cells:<\/em> Microvesicles containing Dendra-2 labelled (green) mitochondria isolated from conditioned media of primary astrocyte culture by centrifugation. Enriched microvesicles were added to cultured endothelial cells for 48 hours. After washings, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and then immunostained against TOM20 (pink) that labels both endogenous and transplanted (green) mitochondria.\u00a0Nucleus and cell membrane were stained with DAPI (blue) and wheat germ agglutinin (red), respectively. Note the one cell to the left that conspicuously integrated Dendra-2 (green) mitochondria throughout its soma that co-labeled with TOM20 (pink), to fluoresce yellow. Transplanted Dendra-2-labeled mitochondria showed diminished fluorescence when stained for TOM20 using same camera settings; may be due to change in epitope affinity for TOM20 by transgene. Scale bar = 50 \u00b5m. Fluorescence Z-stack images were taken using a confocal microscope (Nikon AXR), 100X oil immersion and denoised using NIS elements, Nikon.<\/p>\r\n
