The primers used in qPCR

Drp1	Forward: 5′-ACAACAGGAGAAGAAAATGGAGT-3′
	Reverse: 5′-ATCCACAAGCGTCAGGTTGA-3′
Actb	Forward: 5′-CATTGTTACCAACTGGGACGACAT-3′
	Reverse: 5′-GCCTCGGTGAGCAGCACA-3′

Relative expression levels were calculated using the 2^−△△Ct method, with Actb used to normalise the relative messenger RNA expression level of Drp1.
Drp1, dynamin-related protein 1; qPCR, quantitative PCR.
