Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ m ) was evaluated using 3,3`-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide [DiOC 6 (3)] (Sigma-Aldrich). DiOC 6 (3) is a cell-permeant, green fluorescent, lipophilic probe that is selective for mitochondria of live cells (Franklin et al., 2001) (link). Algal cells (1 × 10 6 mL -1 ) in OECD medium were stained with 2.5 μmol L -1 DiOC 6 (3) for 10 min at room temperature in the dark, as previously described (Sousa et al., 2018) (link). As negative control, cells were treated with 50 μmol L -1 of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazine (CCCP, Sigma-Aldrich) (an uncoupler of the proton gradient) for 10 min and then stained with DiOC 6 (3) as described above. CCCP stock solution (5 mmol L -1 ) was prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); solvent concentration in the negative control ≤ 1% (v/v). Fluorescence was quantified, in quintuplicate, as described in the metabolic activity assessment.

Cells were treated with the indicated concentration of sertraline and paroxetine for 1.5, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. Before being harvested, cells were incubated with 40 nM DiOC6(3) (Sigma) for 30 min at 37°C. After that, cells were washed and suspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). DiOC6(3) fluorescence intensities of FL-1 (530±15 nm) were measured with a flow cytometer CellQuest program (FACScan, Becton Dickinson).

Mitochondrial Depolarization in Platelets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For measuring Δψm depolarization, platelets were incubated with DiOC6(3), a cell-penetrating green-fluorescing dye, and analyzed by flow cytometry. Depolarization results in a reduced DiOC6(3) accumulation in mitochondria when Δψm is dissipated. PRP aliquots were treated with, PBS (negative-control), 10 μM ADP, 5 U/mL thrombin (Sigma-Aldrich) or leptospires, as described before, with the addition of 100 nM DiOC6(3) (Sigma-Aldrich). The samples were diluted to 500 μL with PBS and flow cytometric acquisition was performed. Δψm depolarization was quantified as a decrease of the mean channel fluorescence (MCF) of platelet-bound DiOC6(3) (CD41a-positive gate). Two independent experiments were performed, in triplicates. One-way ANOVA statistical analysis was performed (GraphPad Prism 8).

The cells were washed three times with PBS after 96 h of co-incubation with OCP and OCP-Sr, then detached from the surface of the culture plastic using 0.05% trypsin-EDTA solution and stained with 10 nM 3,3′-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOC6 (3)) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 30 min in a CO2 incubator to measure mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). As a control, cells were incubated with 250 nM valinomycin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 30 min. The measurement was conducted by BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer. 3 × 104 cells were analyzed for each sample.

Assessing Mitochondrial Membrane Potential

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mitochondrial transmembrane potential was measured by cytofluorimetry, using the fluorescent dye 3,3′-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide [DiOC6(3), Sigma Aldrich]. DiOC6(3) is a green fluorescent membrane dye that has been used to detect mitochondrial membrane potential in live cells. The fluorescence of the dye is enhanced when incorporated into mitochondrial membranes. Changes in mitochondrial membrane potential were assessed in cells by measuring fluorescence intensity due to a conformational change of the dye. The G93ADOXY− cells, G93ADOXY+, and G93ADOXY+ treated with exosomes (1 × 106) were processed as described above. Cells were resuspended in PBS containing DiOC6(3) (1 nM), incubated at 37°C for 15 min, immediately analyzed by flow cytometry with a FACSCanto II (BD) and analyzed with FlowJo software (Treestar Inc.).

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.
