Tmre mitochondrial membrane potential assay kit

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United Kingdom, United States

The TMRE-Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit is a lab equipment product designed to measure the mitochondrial membrane potential in cells. It utilizes the cationic dye tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) to stain mitochondria based on their membrane potential. The intensity of the fluorescent signal from TMRE is proportional to the mitochondrial membrane potential.

Quantifying Mitochondrial Membrane Potential in HK2 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To quantify changes in mitochondrial membrane potential in HK2 cells, we used TMRE‐Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit (Abcam catalogue ab113852) and measured fluorescence by microplate spectrophotometry. To label active mitochondria, we used TMRE (tetramethylrhodamine, ethyl ester, which is a cell permeant, positively charged, red‐orange dye that readily accumulates in active mitochondria due to their relative negative charge. Depolarized or inactive mitochondria have decreased membrane potential and fail to sequester TMRE. As a positive control, we used FCCP (carbonyl cyanide 4‐[trifluoromethoxy] phenylhydrazone), which is an ionophore uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. FCCP eliminates mitochondrial membrane potential and TMRE staining. We seeded HK2 cells (20 × 103) and allowed to attach for 24 h in 96‐well plates. We then replaced the culture media by fresh media with or without AAI at different concentrations for 24 h. FCCP was added to appropriate control cell samples at the end of experiment, and cells were incubated for 10 min. After washing cells with PBS (1X), we incubated them with TMRE for 15–30 min, washed again twice with PBS and then analysed using Bio‐tek Synergy™ HT Multi‐Detection Microplate Reader (Biotek®, Winooski, VT, USA) at Ex/Em 549/575 nm.

Mitochondrial dysfunction was evaluated based on mitochondrial membrane potential. This was measured using a tetramethylrhodamine, ethyl ester (TMRE)-Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit (Ex/Em = 549/575 nm; Abcam). After HUVECs were seeded in 6-well plates (2 × 104 cells/well), the cells were treated with TGF-β2 and IL-1β, as well as 0, 1, 5, 10 μM EGCG, and incubated for 2 h at 37 °C. Then, the medium was changed to medium containing 100 nM TMRE and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C without light.

To access the changes in mitochondrial membrane potential, tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit (Abcam, ab113852) was utilized as per manufacture’s protocol. Briefly, Cells were plated in CELLview 4‐compartment glass‐bottom tissue culture dishes (Greiner Bio‐One, 627,870), and treated as per experimental condition. Cells were then incubated for 30 min at room temperature with 50 nM TMRE and and NucBlue™ Live ReadyProbes™ Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, R3760) and proceed for live‐cell imaging with the alpha Plan‐Apochromat 100×/1.46 Oil DIC M27 objective on the Zeiss LSM 880 with Airyscan. Prior to image analysis, raw .czi files were automatically processed into deconvoluted Airyscan images using the Zen software. Leica SP8 LSM, fitted with STED module, was used to perform live‐cell super‐resolution imaging.

A TMRE-Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit (ab113852, Abcam) was used to quantify changes in mitochondrial membrane potential in live NSCLC cells, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone (FCCP, 5 μM) was added into active NSCLC cell suspensions, including appropriate control cell samples, and incubated for 10 min at 37 °C, 5% CO2. Tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE, 200 nM) was then added to the cell suspensions and incubated for another 30 min. Suspended cells were pelleted by 200× g for 5 min and washed with PBS buffer supplemented with 0.2% BSA.

The changes in mitochondrial membrane potential were determined using a tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester perchlorate (TMRE) mitochondrial membrane potential assay kit (Abcam) following the manufacturer’s instruction. The AML-12 cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a cell density of 1 × 104 cells per well and cultured for 24 h. These cells were treated with a medium containing recombinant TGF-β1 at 5 ng/mL and DIM at indicated concentrations (0, 10, 20, and 40 µM) for 24 h. The medium was then discarded, and the cells were stained with TMRE (400 nmol/L) for 20 min at room temperature in the dark. After the cells were washed twice with PBS, TMRE intensity was measured at excitation and emission wavelengths of 549 nm and 575 nm, respectively, using a fluorescence plate reader.

For mitochondrial membrane potential measurements, a TMRE-Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit (abcam, ab113852) was used according to manufacturer’s instruction. Briefly, hESC-RPE cells were thawed on a 48 well plate and cultured for 3 and 12 weeks, respectively. 600 nM tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) solution diluted in culture media was used, and 20 µM carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone (FCCP) served as a negative control compound. All steps were carried under light protection. Diluted TMRE was added to the cells and incubated for 20 min at + 37 °C, and a microplate reader was used to detect the fluorescence from the TMRE. Excitation and emission wavelengths of 549/575 nm were used. Negative controls were measured for both treated and non-treated cells. Results from the microplate reader were given as intensity values and the values are presented as boxplots. Control values were set to 100% and values from the treated cells were compared to the control cells as relative change in the fluorescence intensity. Higher fluorescence intensity corresponds to a higher value of mitochondrial membrane potential. 13–16 replicate wells from 3 maturation experiments were measured at both time points.
