Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of CoC3 on mitochondrial protein expression levels in control and mutant fibroblasts. Western blot analysis of the affected mutant protein in each cell line: mtND3 (A) , NDUFAF6 (B) , COX15 (C) , NDUFS1 (D) , COQ7 (E) , NDUFS4 (F) . VDAC was used as mitochondrial mass marker, mtND3 and mtCO2 as mitochondrial-encoded reference proteins and NDUFA9 and nCOX4 as nuclear-encoded mitochondrial reference proteins. Overall, all patients show alterations with respect to the control, which are partially reversed after CoC3 treatment. “C” stands for healthy control cells. CoC3 treatment: 1 μM Pterostilbene, 5 μM nicotinamide, 1 μM riboflavin, 1 μM thiamine, 1 μM biotin, 5 μM lipoic acid and 1 μM L -carnitine. Differences between patients are probably due to the high variability in mutation severity and their genetic background. A representative actin band is shown, although loading control was additionally checked for every Western blot. Band densitometry can be found in .
