    Techniques Used:

    MitoTracker, but not mitochondria, transfers rapidly to neurons from astrocytes (A) Mitochondria are dual labeled with outer mitochondrial membrane targeted GFP (GFP-OMM) and the MitoTracker dye. (B) Schematic diagram outlining the protocol for live co-culture experiments. Astrocytes are additionally labeled with CTDR (CellTracker Deep red) and neurons/neuronal mitochondria are identified by mTagBFP2 and mito-mTagBFP2 expression, respectively. (C) Timelapse images of a dual-labeled astrocyte (central) immediately following co-culture with neurons. ( n = 3 biological repeats, 4–5 positions of interest per repeat). (D) An orthogonal view of co-cultures following timelapse acquisition (>30 min). (E) Representative image of dual-labeled astrocytes co-cultured with mito-mTagBFP2 expressing neurons for >30 min. The yellow dashed line represents the astrocyte boundary. Insert highlights that MitoTracker but not GFP-OMM labels neuronal mitochondria. See also .
