The cells were washed twice with PBS, permeabilized in 0.1% Triton X-100, neutralized with NH4Cl buffer and then per-meabilized using 0.05% saponin/PBS (pH 7.4) for 45 minutes. Subsequently, the samples were incubated overnight with the following primary antibodies: cyt-c (1:500; Abcam, #ab90529), Drp1 (1:1,000; Abcam, #ab56788) and Tom-20 (1:1,000; Abcam, #ab186735). Confocal immunofluorescence images were collected using the FV10-ASW 1.7 software and an Olympus IX81 microscope.24 The fluorescence intensity was calculated using the Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software. First, fluorescence pictures were converted to grayscale with the Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software. Then, the fluorescence intensities were separately recorded as the grayscale intensities. Mitochondria were observed in at least 100 cells, and the average length of the mitochondria was measured under an inverted microscope to quantify mitochondrial fragmentation (BX51; Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) as described in a previous study.25 (link) The experiments were performed in triplicate and repeated three times with similar results.26 (link)

The cells were lysed by using a western and IP cell lysis kit. After NP-MSCs were treated with 100 μM pioglitazone or 1.0 MPa compression, apoptosis-related proteins were detected by western blotting. Also, to determine the cytochrome c of cytosol (cyto.cytochrome c), the cytosol protein of cells was isolated according to the manufacturer's instructions of the Cell Mitochondria Isolation Kit (Beyotime, China). The protein concentration was measured by using the BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime, China). Equal protein amounts (30 μg) were resolved on 10%-12% SDS-PAGE gel and then transferred onto PVDF membranes (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA), then the membranes were blocked by 5% nonfat milk and then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies against cytochrome c (1 : 1000, Abcam, USA, ab90529), Bcl-2 (1 : 1000, Abcam, USA, ab59348), Bax (1 : 1000, Abcam, USA, ab32503), cleaved caspase-9 (1 : 1000, Abcam, USA, ab2324), and cleaved caspase-3 (1 : 1000, Abcam, USA, ab2302) overnight at 4°C. After being washed with TBST for three times, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Finally, the enhanced chemiluminescence method was used to visualize the proteins.

Cells were first fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at room temperature. After incubation with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min to block endogenous peroxidase activity, the samples were treated with the primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight. After the slides were washed with PBS and then incubated with secondary antibody (1:500, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) at room temperature for 45 min. Nuclei were stained using DAPI. Images were observed with fluorescence microscopy (Olympus BX-61). The primary antibodies used in the present study were as follows: p-ERK (1:1000, Abcam, #ab176660), Bnip3 (1:1000, Cell Signalling Technology, #44060), Tom20 (mitochondria marker, 1:1000, Abcam, #ab186735), LAMP1 (lysosome marker, 1:1000, Abcam, #ab24170), cyt-c (1:1000; Abcam; #ab90529). Mitophagy is the result of fusion between mitochondria and lysosome. The green mitochondria locate with red lysosome would generate the orange mitophagy. Then, the number of orange dot was measured to quantify the number of mitophagy.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
