Abstract
Overexpression of Drp1 in pericytes increased protein levels of Drp1, Pink1, Parkin, and LC3B.
- Cisplatin exposure is associated with impaired mitochondrial division and autophagy in cochlear pericytes.
- Increased co-localization of TOM20 and LC3B suggests enhanced mitophagy following Drp1 overexpression.
- Drp1 overexpression leads to reduced reactive oxygen species in pericytes.
- Mitochondrial membrane potential is improved with Drp1 overexpression, indicating better mitochondrial function.
