Abstract
The mitochondrial network (MN) is a dynamic structure undergoing constant remodeling in the cell. It is assumed that the violation of MN may be associated with various pathologies, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Using automatic image analysis and super-resolution microscopy, we have assessed the MN parameters in fibroblasts from patients with established hereditary PD mutations (associated with PINK1, LLRK2, α-synuclein, PINK1 and Parkin simultaneously proteins) under normal conditions and after hydrogen peroxide-induced stress. Fibroblasts with Pink1/Parkin mutation are the most different in morphology from fibroblasts obtained from conditionally healthy donors: MN is larger, contains longer mitochondria and accumulated individual mitochondria. In addition to MN, we evaluated other cellular parameters, such as: cytosolic and mitochondrial ROS production and mitochondrial membrane potential. It has been shown that mitochondria of fibroblasts with mutations in genes encoding PINK1, α-synuclein and Pink/Parkin tends to hyperpolarization and cytosolic ROS overproduction, while mitochondrial ROS production was higher only in fibroblasts with PINK1 and α-synuclein mutation.
