Mitochondrial swelling and microtubule depolymerization are associated with energy depletion in axon degeneration

Highlights ► We examined the mechanism of mitochondrial swelling and axonal degeneration. ► Energy failure occurred prior to mitochondrial swelling and axonal degeneration. ► Energy repletion prevented mitochondrial swelling and microtubule depolymerization. ► Perturbing microtubule dynamics enhance...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► We examined the mechanism of mitochondrial swelling and axonal degeneration. ► Energy failure occurred prior to mitochondrial swelling and axonal degeneration. ► Energy repletion prevented mitochondrial swelling and microtubule depolymerization. ► Perturbing microtubule dynamics enhanced axonal degeneration and mitochondrial swelling. ► Calcium was not related to mitochondrial swelling and microtubule depolymerization.
