Abstract
Mitochondria, the major organelles that produce energy for cell survival and function, dynamically change their morphology via fusion and fission, a process called mitochondrial dynamics. The details of the underlying mechanism of mitochondrial dynamics have not yet been elucidated. Here, we aimed to investigate the function of mitochondrial fission genes in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). To this end, we generated homozygous knockout ESC lines, namely, Fis1-/-, Mff-/-, and Dnm1l-/- ESCs, using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Interestingly, the Fis1-/-, Mff-/-, and Dnm1l-/- ESCs showed normal morphology, self-renewal, and the ability to differentiate into all three germ layers in vitro. However, transmission electron microscopy showed a significant increase in the cytoplasm to nucleus ratio and mitochondrial elongation in Dnm1l-/- ESCs, which was due to incomplete fission. To assess the change in metabolic energy, we analyzed oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), glycolysis, and the intracellular ATP concentration. The ESC knockout lines showed an increase in OXPHOS, decrease in glycolysis, and an increase in intracellular ATP concentration, which was related to mitochondrial elongation. In particular, the Dnm1l knockout most significantly ...Continue Reading
