AbstractMitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, are dynamic organelles that undergo constant morphological changes. Increasing evidence indicates that mitochondria morphologies and functions can be modulated by mechanical cues. However, the mechano-sensing and -responding properties of mitochondria and the correlation between mitochondrial morphologies and functions are unclear due to the lack of methods to precisely exert mechano-stimulation on and deform mitochondria inside live cells. Here we present an optogenetic approach that uses light to induce deformation of mitochondria by recruiting molecular motors to the outer mitochondrial membrane via light-activated protein-protein hetero-dimerization. Mechanical forces generated by motor proteins distort the outer membrane, during which the inner mitochondrial membrane can also be deformed. Moreover, this optical method can achieve subcellular spatial precision and be combined with other optical dimerizers and molecular motors. This method presents a novel mitochondria-specific mechano-stimulator for studying mitochondria mechanobiology and the interplay between mitochondria shapes and functions.

Spaceflight induced mitochondrial alterations have been reported for muscle and may be associated with altered physiological functions in space. Mitochondrial alterations are also indicative of preapoptotic events which are seen in greater amounts in cells exposed to spaceflight when compared with cells cultured at 1 g. Preapoptotic mitochondrial changes include alterations of processes at the inner mitochondrial membrane and can result in changes in mitochondrial volume. Higher amounts of oxidative stress during space flight may be one of the causes for changes which lead to apoptosis. Jurkat cells flown on the STS-76 space shuttle mission showed an increase in the number of cells with apoptotic bodies early in the mission and a time-dependent, microgravity-related increase in the Fas/APO-1 cell death factor. Here we investigated the morphology of mitochondria in Jurkat cells exposed to spaceflight during the STS-76 mission.
