Figure 7 Mitochondrial dynamics participate in osteogenesis mediated by FGFR/FGFR2-AMPK pathway: (A) Mito-tracker red and mitochondria 2D analysis showed more fragmented or punctate mitochondria with fewer and shorter branches in the MT group, while there were widely reticular mitochondria with longer branches in the WT group. (B) qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis demonstrated that the expressions of mitochondrial-fusion-related factors Mfn2 and Opa1 were downregulated, however, the expression of mitochondrial-fission-related factor Drp1 was upregulated in the MT group compared to the WT group. (C) Mito-tracker red and mitochondria 2D analysis showed a filamentous network of mitochondria with more and longer branches widely spread in the cytoplasm in the siFGFR2 group. (D) qPCR and Western blot analysis showed that the expression of fusion-related genes Mfn2 and Opa1 was increased and the expression of fission-related gene Drp1 was decreased in the siFGFR2 group. (E) After treatment with Compound C, the morphology of the mitochondria which should have tended to split adopted a fused reticular structure with more and longer branches, as shown by Mito-tracker red and mitochondria 2D analysis. (F) Western blot analysis showed the level of MFN2 and OPA1 was increased and then level of DRP1 was decreased, as induced by Compound C. p values were significant at * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 and **** p < 0.0001.

Fig. 4 The mitochondrial function was improved by CX3CL1 deficiency in mice with cisplatin-induced AKI. A TEM images of renal tissues were captured. Scale bar = 500 nm. B The relative expression profiles of the mitochondrial proteins UCP2, Mfn2, and PGC1α in kidney tissues were determined by Western blotting. C DHE staining was conducted to determine the ROS level in renal tissues. Scale bar = 20 μm. D TEM was employed to capture images of podocytes. Scale bar = 500 nm. E Western blot analysis illustrating the relative expression patterns of the mitochondrial proteins UCP2, Mfn2, and PGC1α in podocytes. F The ROS level was detected through DCFH-DA labeling. Scale bar = 10 μm. G JC-1 staining was conducted to detect MMP in podocytes. Scale bar = 10 μm. (AKI, acute kidney injury; TEM, transmission electron microscopy; UCP2, uncoupling protein 2; Mfn2, Mitofusin 2; PGC1α, peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ coactivator l-alpha; DHE, dihydroethidium; ROS, reactive oxygen species; DCFH-DA, 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate; MMP, matrix metalloproteinase; P value was calculated by one-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s test.
