Summary

Compared to plants, response to cold stress in animals is regarded as less important; however, in animals, peripheral tissues like skin are sensitive to cold and induce shivering. In this study, we focused on the mitochondrial damage resulting from exposure to low temperature using HaCaT cells as a human epidermal cell model. HaCaT cells were incubated at 4 °C. Mitochondrial membrane potential was observed by a membrane potential indicator dye, JC-1. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by H2DCFDA and MitoSOX dyes. Acidic vesicular organelles were stained with acridine orange. After incubating the HaCaT cells at 4 °C, the mitochondrial membrane potential decreased and ROS generation increased, leading to cell death. Moreover, accumulation of acidic vesicular organelles was observed and lysosomes were co-localized to the mitochondria. These data suggest that lysosomes degraded the damaged mitochondria for cell survival in cold stress.
