Disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis has been highlighted as a crucial cofactor in its etiology. Here, we show that PD patient-specific human neuroepithelial stem cells (NESCs), carrying the LRRK2-G2019S mutation, recapitulate key mitochondrial defects previously described only in differentiated dopaminergic neurons. By combining high-content imaging approaches, 3D image analysis, and functional mitochondrial readouts we show that LRRK2-G2019S mutation causes aberrations in mitochondrial morphology and functionality compared with isogenic controls. LRRK2-G2019S NESCs display an increased number of mitochondria compared with isogenic control lines. However, these mitochondria are more fragmented and exhibit decreased membrane potential. Functional alterations in LRRK2-G2019S cultures are also accompanied by a reduced mitophagic clearance via lysosomes. These findings support the hypothesis that preceding mitochondrial developmental defects contribute to the manifestation of the PD pathology later in life. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/107391 | ISSN: | 22136711 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.stemcr.2019.03.004 | Rights: | openAccess |
