    Article Snippet: .. To inhibit mitochondrial fission, hyphae of each strain were incubated with 10 μM mitochondrial fission inhibitor Mdivi-1 (MedChem Express, HY-15886, USA) for 16 or 24 hpi (Leesnitzer et al. 2002), and the mitochondrial morphology was observed under a confocal fluorescence microscope (ZEISS LSM980 with airyscan 2). .. Total protein of mycelia from each sample was extracted by RIPA Lysis buffer II (Sangon, C510006), and then assayed by western blot analysis with an anti-Ubiquitin as the primary antibody (1:2000, PTM BIO), and a goat anti rabbit as the secondary antibody (1:10,000, LI-COR).

    Proposed working model of Rotenone and Nicotinamide pretreatment induced mitochondrial and neuronal alterations. Low-dose Rotenone (1.325nM) inhibits mitochondrial Complex I in primary cortical neurons, reducing electron transport chain activity, mitochondrial respiration, ATP production, and superoxide generation. This mitochondrial stress induces SIRT3 upregulation and increased mitochondrial fission but impairs autophagy and mitophagy, leading to the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria, synaptic disruption, and reduced dendritic complexity. Nicotinamide (NAM 10µM) pretreatment restores mitochondrial function by supporting NAD⁺-dependent electron transport, enhancing SIRT3 activity, improving autophagic flux, and preserving mitochondrial mass. These effects result in the recovery of ATP and superoxide levels, normalization of dendritic architecture, and reestablishment of synaptic integrity.
