Mitochondria form a network in the cell that rapidly changes through fission, fusion, and motility. This four-dimensional (4D, x,y,z,time) temporal network has only recently been made accessible through advanced imaging methods such as lattice light-sheet microscopy. Quantitative analysis tools for the resulting datasets however have been lacking. Here we present MitoTNT, the first-in-class software for Mitochondrial Temporal Network Tracking in 4D live-cell fluorescence microscopy data. MitoTNT uses spatial proximity and network topology to compute an optimal tracking. Tracking is >90% accurate in dynamic spatial mitochondria simulations and are in agreement with published motility results in vitro. Using MitoTNT, we reveal correlated mitochondrial movement patterns, local fission and fusion fingerprints, asymmetric fission and fusion dynamics, cross-network transport patterns, and network-level responses to pharmacological manipulations. MitoTNT is implemented in python with a JupyterLab interface. The extendable and user-friendly design aims at making temporal network tracking accessible to the wider mitochondria community.
