Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Mitochondrial networks of control cybrids, HCM cybrids and HCM cybrids with DNJ. Cybrids were immunolabeled for the mitochondrial marker TOM20. Scale bar, 20 μm. ( B ) Representative TEM recordings of cybrids. Scale bar for left images, 2 μm. Scale bar for enlarged images, 200 nm. ( C ) Quantification of the overall cristae morphology on TEM recordings. ( D ) Quantification of mitochondrial cristae number on TEM recordings. Con: n = 47, HCM: n = 61, HCM + DNJ: n = 45 biologically independent mitochondrion. Values represent the mean ± SEM. 1-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test. ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001. ( E ) Diameter of cristae. Con: n = 241, HCM: n = 160, HCM + DNJ: n = 195 biologically independent mitochondrion. Values represent the mean ± SEM. 1-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test. *** P < 0.001. ( F ) CJ frequency on TEM recordings. The number of CJs was manually determined and normalized to the cristae number. Con: n = 47, HCM: n = 61, HCM + DNJ: n = 45 biologically independent mitochondrion. Values represent the mean ± SEM. 1-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test. ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
