- Knockout of ACTB was achieved by CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing using LentiArray™ Lentiviral sgRNA (Product # A32042, Assay ID CRISPR889078_LV) and LentiArray Cas9 Lentivirus (Product # A32064). Western blot analysis of ACTB was performed by loading 30 µg of A-375 wild type (Lane 1), A-375 Cas9 (Lane 2) and A-375 ACTB KO (Lane 3) whole cell extracts. The samples were electrophoresed using NuPAGE™ Novex™ 4-12% Bis-Tris Protein Gel (Product # NP0322BOX). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane (Product # IB23001) by iBlot® 2 Dry Blotting System (Product # IB21001). The blot was probed with beta Actin Monoclonal Antibody (AC-15) (Product # MA1-91399, 1:5000 dilution) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Recombinant Secondary Antibody, HRP (Product # A28177, 1:10,000 dilution) using the iBright™ FL1500 (Product # A44115). Chemiluminescent detection was performed usingSuperSignal™ West Dura Extended Duration Substrate (Product # 34076). Loss of signal upon CRISPR mediated knockout (KO) using the LentiArray™ CRISPR product line confirms that antibody is specific to ACTB.

- FIGURE 2 Exogenous MDVs mitigate hypoxia-induced H9C2 cardiomyocyte apoptosis. (A) Transmission electron microscopy images of the MDVs. (B) Results of particle size analysis showed that MDVs were predominantly ~50-150 nm in size. (C) H9C2 cells were treated with PKH26 (red) labeled MDVs (12 mug/mL) for 2 h. Reconstituted hypoxic MDVs were created from mitochondria isolated from ex vivo isolated Langendorff-perfused rat hearts and grouped into normoxic- (n-MDVs), mild hypoxic- (m-MDVs), and heavy hypoxic MDVs (h-MDVs). H9C2 cells were treated as indicated for 12 h: blank (without hypoxia), ctl (hypoxia alone), n-MDV (hypoxia + n-MDVs), m-MDV (hypoxia + m-MDVs), and h-MDV (hypoxia + h-MDVs). (D,E) Hypoxia significantly increased the number of apoptotic cells, which was improved by the addition of the MDVs ( n = 3); P values were estimated using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni''s post hoc test; # P < 0.05 versus blank, * P < 0.05 versus ctl, ** P < 0.01 versus ctl. (F) Hypoxia treatment significantly increased caspase 3 activity, while all three types of MDVs reversed this trend ( n = 3); P values were estimated by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni''s post hoc test; # P < 0.05 versus blank, * P < 0.05 versus ctl, ** P < 0.01 versus ctl. (G) H9C2 cells were treated as indicated for 12 h and immunolabeled to identify cleaved-caspase 3 (c-caspase 3, green) and nuclear material (DAPI-blue).

- FIGURE 3 Exogenous MDVs protect against hypoxia-induced H9C2 cardiomyocyte apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway. H9C2 cells were treated as follows for 12 h: blank (without hypoxia), ctl (hypoxia alone), n-MDV (hypoxia + n-MDVs), m-MDV (hypoxia + m-MDVs), and h-MDV (hypoxia + h-MDVs). (A) Hypoxia significantly increased caspase 9 activity, with all three types of MDVs reversing this trend ( n = 3); # P < 0.05 versus blank, * P < 0.05 versus ctl. (B) Hypoxia significantly upregulated the expression of cleaved-caspase 9 (c-caspase 9), and treatment with MDVs could reverse some of this increased expression ( n = 3); P values were estimated using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni''s post hoc test; # P < 0.05 versus blank, * P < 0.05 versus ctl. (C,D) Hypoxia significantly upregulated the expression of cytoplasmic CytC and reduced the expression of mitochondrial CytC, both of which were reversed following treatment with MDVs ( n = 3); P values were estimated using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni''s post hoc test; # P < 0.05 versus blank, * P < 0.05 versus ctl, ** P < 0.01 versus ctl.

(A) Representative images of the colocalization of MDVs labeled with PKH26 (red) and mitochondria labeled with MitoTracker Green (green). (B) H9C2 cells were treated as indicated for 12 h. Hypoxia significantly reduced intracellular ATP levels, which could be reversed following treatment with any of the three types of MDVs ( n = 3); P values were estimated by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni''s post hoc test; # P < 0.05 versus blank, * P < 0.05 versus ctl, ** P < 0.01 versus ctl. (C) H9C2 cells were treated as indicated for 12 h and ROS generation was evaluated using DCFH-DA dye. Hypoxia significantly increased intracellular ROS levels, which could be reversed by any of the three types of MDVs. (D) H9C2 cells were treated as indicated for 3 h and mPTP opening was assessed by co-loading calcein AM and CoCl 2 . Opening of mPTP was significantly enhanced following hypoxia and was seen to significantly decrease following the addition of MDVs. (E) H9C2 cells were treated as indicated for 12 h. Hypoxia significantly upregulated the expression of CHOP and cleaved-caspase 12 (c-caspase 12), but no significant changes were observed following the addition of any of the three types of MDVs ( n = 3); P values were estimated using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni''s post hoc test; * P < 0.05 versus blank.

- FIGURE 5 Exogenous MDVs protect against hypoxia-induced H9C2 cardiomyocyte apoptosis by conveying Bcl-2. (A) H9C2 cells were subjected to hypoxic conditions for 1 h and then homogenized for fractionation. Light fraction containing Bcl-2 appeared at the 20/30% sucrose interface and a heavier fraction containing Bcl-2 sedimented at the 40/50% interface. (B) Proteins were collected from MDVs for Western blot (whole cell protein served as a control). (C) H9C2 cells were treated with hypoxia for 1 h and immunolabeled for TOM20 (green), Bcl-2 (red), and PDH (blue). TOM20 + vesicles could be observed (white arrow); Bcl-2 + /PDH + vesicles (white triangle) rather than Bcl-2 + /TOM20 + vesicles were observed. (D) Proteins were collected from different types of MDVs, and equal quantities of MDV proteins were used for Bcl-2 detection. (E) H9C2 cells were treated with the three types of MDVs and total proteins were collected, showing that cells treated with MDVs had more Bcl-2 than the control ( n = 3); P values were estimated using one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni''s post hoc test; * P < 0.05 versus blank, ** P < 0.01 versus blank.

- Figure 5. Mutation of the automethylated lysines decreases PRC2 HMTase activity in vitro and in vivo. ( A ) Mutation of the three lysines (K510A K514A K515A, ""methylmutant"") decreases PRC2 activity on reconstituted trinucleosomes relative to activity of WT PRC2 preincubated with SAM. Another mutant (K514A K515A) showed less perturbation of catalytic activity. Radioactive 14 C-SAM was titrated from 1.3 to 12 uM. ( Right ) Quantification of the automethylation and H3K27 methylation signal of WT and methylmutant (mean +- SD, n = 3). ( B ) Mutation of the three lysines (K > A) decreases PRC2 activity on native polynucleosome substrate, whereas the triple K > R mutant has substantially normal activity. ( C ) EZH2 automethylation is essential for de novo H3K27me3 deposition.

- Figure 1. CPT1C is necessary for proper axon growth. ( A ) Primary cortical neurons derived from WT and Cpt1c KO E16 mouse embryos were cultured and fixed at 4DIV. Then, axons were labeled with a specific marker (SMI-312; in green) and nuclei were detected with Hoechst staining (blue). CPT1C absence in KO cultures was corroborated by western blot. Axonal length was analyzed from three independent experiments performed in biological triplicates. Right graph shows the percentage of cells with axons of a certain length (intervals of 50 um), while in left graph the mean +- SEM of all axons is shown (n = 100 cells per genotype; Student's t test; ***p

- Figure 3. CPT1C-protrudin interaction. ( A ) CPT1C-protrudin binding was analyzed in HeLa cells by co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP). HeLa cells were co-transfected with mCitrine-protrudin or mCitrine-ER-5 (Citrine-KDEL) and MYC-CPT1C. 36 hr later, citrine-containing proteins were immunoprecipitated with the GFP-Trap assay, and the indicated proteins were detected by immunoblot in whole lysate (input) and immunoprecipitated samples (IP). The co-IP was performed in biological triplicates. A representative image of the experiment is shown. ( B-C ) Binding evaluation by FRET assay in HEK293 cells. Percentage of FRET was measured by the increase of donor intensity after photobleaching. mTurquoise-ER (KDEL), mTurquoise-calnexin and Tubulin-mTurquoise2 (TUB) with CPT1C-SYFP2 were used as negative interactions, while Atlastin1-mTurquoise2 (ATL1) with protrudin-SYFP2 and atlastin-1-mTurquoise2 with CPT1C-SYFP2, as positive controls.
