Mitochondrial Populations Exhibit Differential Dynamic Responses to Increased Energy Demand during Exocytosis In Vivo.


ABSTRACT: Mitochondria are dynamic organelles undergoing fission, fusion, and translocation. These processes have been studied in cultured cells; however, little is known about their regulation in cells within tissues in vivo. We applied four-dimensional intravital microscopy to address this in secretory cells of the salivary gland. We found that mitochondria are organized in two populations: one juxtaposed to the basolateral plasma membrane and the other dispersed in the cytosol. Under basal conditions, central mitochondria exhibit microtubule-dependent motility and low fusion rate, whereas basolateral mitochondria are static and display high fusion rate. Increasing cellular energy demand by ?-adrenergic stimulation of regulated exocytosis selectively enhanced motility and fusion of central mitochondria. Inhibition of microtubule polymerization led to inhibition of central mitochondrial motility and fusion and a marked reduction in exocytosis. This study reveals a conserved heterogeneity in mitochondrial positioning and dynamics in exocrine tissues that may have fundamental implications in organ pathophysiology.
