The SH-SY5Y neuronal control cells and mutant cybrid cells carrying m.3243A > G with 98%, 90%, and 70% mutation loads and 143B osteosarcoma cybrid control and mutant cells were cultured in standard DMEM high glucose media (4.5 g/L) or in low glucose (0.5 g/L) (PAN biotech, Aidenbach, Germany), supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum (PAN biotech), 1% glutamine, and 50 μg/mL uridine (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint-Louis, MO, USA) at 37 °C in the presence of 5% CO2 as described elsewhere [16 (link)]. Control and mutant cells were exposed to 5 mM of acetoacetate and β-D-hydroxybutyrate (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint-Louis, MI, USA) in a low glucose medium for 48 h. Control cells were exposed to rotenone (200 nM) a complex I inhibitor for 15 h.
