Figure 2.

SNPH is required to arrest axonal mitochondrial movement in response to synaptic activity. (A and B) Kymographs (A) and quantitative analysis (B) showing the motility of axonal mitochondria in snph+/+ and snph−/− hippocampal neurons before and after 100-Hz field stimulation in the presence or absence of 1.2 mM CaCl2 or 1 µm TTX. Neurons were transfected with DsRed-Mito at DIV9 followed by time-lapse imaging at DIV12. Vertical lines in kymographs represent stationary mitochondria; slanted lines or curves to the right (negative slope) represent retrograde movement (also see Videos 4 and 5). Data were quantified from numbers of neurons indicated within bars in three independent experiments. Bars, 10 µm. Error bars show SEM. Student’s t test.
