线粒体的功能在不同的病理情况下都会发生改变,这突出了线粒体在维持细胞内环境稳定中所起的关键作用。线粒体结构在不断变化的细胞环境中经历不断的分裂和融合。因此,分析线粒体结构可以提供对细胞生理状态的洞察。在这个方案中,我们描述了一种方法来分析线虫线虫体壁肌肉中的线粒体结构,使用转基因和基于染料的方法。
Mitochondrial function is altered in various pathologies, highlighting the crucial role mitochondria plays in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Mitochondrial structure undergoes constant fission and fusion in response to changing cellular environment. Due to this, analyzing mitochondrial structure could provide insight into the physiological state of the cell. In this protocol, we describe a method to analyze mitochondrial structure in body wall muscles in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, using both transgenic and dye-based approaches.
