Article Title: Chronic ER Stress Disrupts Mitochondrial-Associated ER Membrane Integrity in Corneal Endothelial Cells
doi: 10.64898/2026.01.09.698664
Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Description of the method of subcellular fractionation for mitochondrial-associated ER membrane (MAMs), endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and crude mitochondria (CM) in HCEnC-21T cell line. (B) Representative Western blot data confirming subcellular fraction markers PDZD8 (MAM marker), Ero1-Lα (ER marker), VDAC, and cytochrome C (mitochondrial markers), GAPDH (loading control) in normal 21T and diseased F35T cell line. (C) Immunostained images of MAM tracker-Green transfected 21T and F35T cells showing no significant difference in intensity, indicating no disruption of ER-mitochondrial interactions/ MAMs in both cell lines at baseline (non-stressed).
