    Area of Science:

    • Cell Biology
    • Biochemistry
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired mitophagy are implicated in neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders.
    • Current methods lack real-time quantification of mitophagy in living cells.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel probe for real-time, non-genetic visualization of mitophagy dynamics.
    • To establish a quantitative framework for analyzing mitophagy stages.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of MitoFlare, a mitochondria-targeted, reversible mtROS-responsive fluorogenic probe.
    • Utilized a dual-probe platform combining MitoFlare and LysoTracker Green for imaging PC12 neuronal cells.
    • Established quantitative metrics for mitophagy progression: proximity index, Manders' M1 coefficient, and quenching/swelling index.

    Main Results:

    • MitoFlare enables continuous, reversible fluorescence activation in response to various reactive oxygen species.
    • The dual-probe system resolved the entire mitophagy cascade with high spatiotemporal fidelity.
    • Nutrient deprivation triggered an ordered mitophagy program, while bafilomycin A1 arrested it at the fusion stage.
    • MitoFlare revealed accumulation of undegraded mitochondrial remnants, undetectable by other methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Mitophagy occurs in discrete, redox-regulated, and lysosome-dependent phases.
    • The MitoFlare-LysoTracker system provides a new benchmark for dynamic mitophagy analysis.
    • This platform facilitates mechanistic studies of mitochondrial quality control and therapeutic discovery for related diseases.
