The mitochondrial membrane potential of cells treated with b-AP15 or untreated were assayed by mitochondrial membrane potential kit (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), following manufacturer’s instruction. DLBCL cells were treated with various doses of b-AP15, and after 24 h the cells were harvested, prepared in 1 ml warm medium, and then 5 μl cationic hydrophobic mitochondrial potential dye was added. The cells were incubated for 30 min in a 5% CO2, 37 °C incubator. After centrifugation the cells were resuspended with 500 μl assay buffer, followed by monitoring the cells using a flow cytometry with ƛex = 635 nm, ƛem = 660 nm at APC channel.

The mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) was measured using JC-10 dye for determining the loss of the MMP upon PA treatment. In brief, HepG2 cells were seeded in a 96-well plate and treated with 0.5 mM concentrations of PA for 24 h, and subjected to staining according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Sigma-Aldrich, Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Kit. (Cat no. MAK159)). JC-10 was formed fluorescent aggregates according to the polarization of the mitochondrial membrane upon PA treatment. Fluorescence intensity (lex = 490/ lem = 525 nm) and (lex = 540/lem = 590 nm) were monitored for ratio analysis using ELISA plate reader (SpectraMax M5, Molecular Devices). The ratio of red/green fluorescence intensity was calculated using GraphPad Prism 7.00 software.

The change in the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of C. albicans cells was analyzed using JC-10 (analog of JC-1, 5,5′,6,6′-tetrachloro-1,1′,3,3′-tetraethyl-benzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide). For this purpose, the Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Kit (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) was used. The cells treated with quinalizarin at 2, 4, and 16 µg/mL for 5 h were washed and stained with JC-10 for 30 min in the dark. The red fluorescence intensity (λex = 540 nm/λem = 590 nm) and green fluorescence intensity (λex = 490 nm/λem = 525 nm) were monitored using a microplate reader. The ratio of red/green fluorescence intensity was used to determine MMP. An untreated sample and a 50 µM carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylhydrazone (FCCP)-treated (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) sample were used as negative and positive controls, respectively.

Tail tip fibroblasts were seeded in 96-well plates and the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) determined using the mitochondrial membrane potential kit (Sigma) following the manufacturer’s recommendations. The red/green fluorescence intensity ratio was used to determine MMP values. To determine mitochondrial activity, fibroblasts were stained with 4 nM tetramethylrodamine for 30 min in complete RPMI medium without phenol red at 37°C and 5% CO2. Samples were analyzed using an Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope and FV10 software (Olympus). Additional determination of MMP was done using the JC-10 dye. Fibroblasts were processed as indicated above and incubated with JC-10 for 30 min at 37°C and 5% CO2. Samples were analyzed using a Cytoflex S flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter).

ΔΨm staining was performed using Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Kit (Sigma Aldrich, United States), 5000 ARPE-19 cells/well were seeded in 96-well plates (Corning, United States) and treated with Arbutin and TBHP for certain hours, and 100 μL of JC-1 solution was added to the cells for 20 min. The absorbance at 514/529 and 585/590 nm were detected using a microplate reader (BioTek Instruments, Winooski, Vermont, United States), and cells were observed under a fluorescent inverted microscope.

Moreover, a JC-10 assay was conducted to test for the apoptosis of the IEC monolayers 48 h after treatment and stimulation. The Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Kit (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was utilized in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Valinomycin (val, 100 µg/mL) served as a positive control for apoptosis.

PC12 cells were plated at a density of 8 × 104 cells per well in 96-well black plate and incubated for 24 h at 37 ± 2 °C in a 5% CO2-humidified incubator. Supernatant was removed and pre-treated with fresh medium containing 0.25 mg/mL P. australis ethanol extract or 10 µg/mL desipramine for 2 h before exposure to 600 µM corticosterone for 24 h. Supernatant was then subjected to MMP measurement according to the manufacturer’s protocol of mitochondrial membrane potential kit (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Fluorescence intensity shift from red to green was determined by measuring the absorbance at an excitation and emission wavelength of 540 nm/590 nm (red) and 490 nm/525 nm (green) in a UV–Vis spectrophotometer microplate reader and expressed as a percentage relative to negative control.

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.
