Evaluating Mitochondrial Distribution in IVM Oocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Oocytes after IVM for 42 h were selected randomly from the control group and melatonin group, and were incubated in pre-warmed maturation medium at 39 °C and 5% CO2 for 20 min. A Mito Tracker Green kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China) was used to label distribution of mitochondria of oocytes at 37 °C for 30 min. The labeled oocytes were checked using a fluorescence microscope (Olympus, BX60, Tokyo, Japan), and all oocytes were photographed using a digital camera (Nikon 990, Tokyo, Japan). There were two main distribution features of mitochondrial distribution patterns in oocyte: one was that labeled mitochondria were distributed evenly throughout ooplasm (homogeneous, Figure 1a), which indicated that mitochondrial distribution was better in oocytes. Others were that the labeled mitochondria were distributed unevenly within ooplasm (heterogeneous; Figure 1b,c) as described previously [19 (link)]. The abnormal distribution of mitochondria has negative effects on ATP distribution and embryogenesis [20 (link)]. The value of mitochondrial distribution was analyzed in a blind manner, and was determined as the number of oocytes with homogeneous mitochondria/total number of the oocytes × 100.

Mitochondrial Content Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mitochondrial content was assessed using the Mito-Tracker Green kit (C1048; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). After treatments were imposed as indicated in the Cell Culture and Treatments section, MAC-T cells were incubated with MitoTracker Green (200 nM) in serum-free medium at 37°C for 30 min, followed by fixing in 10% formaldehyde neutral buffer solution at room temperature for 30 min. Cells were then stained with DAPI (10 μg/mL; D8417, Sigma-Aldrich) at room temperature for 10 min. Cells were imaged using laser confocal microscopy (Fluoview FV1200, Olympus). Fluorescence images were analyzed using the Image-Pro image analysis software (Media Cybernetics) as described in the Mitochondrial Membrane Potential section. Mitochondrial content was quantified by mean density (i.e., mean staining intensity = integrated optical density sum/area sum).

Mitochondrial Quantification in Pancreatic Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mitochondrial quantification experiment was performed using a Mito-Tracker green kit (Biyuntian, Nanjing, China), following a standard procedure. The pancreatic single cells were first suspended with dye buffer at 106 cells/mL and incubated at 37 °C for about 30 min. Then, Mito-Tracker Green Dyeing buffer was removed by centrifugation at 500× g for 5 min. The cells were washed twice with PBS, and the cells were resuspended in fresh culture medium at 37 °C. Then the cell fluorescence was detected by Accuri C6 (BD). The fluorescence intensity represents the relative mitochondrial number.

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.
