The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP, ΔΨm) of MPC5 podocytes was assessed using the JC-1 staining kit (Beyotime), following the standard kit instructions. Podocytes were washed twice with PBS and plated in a 6-well plate. JC-1 dye was added to each well, and the podocytes were subsequently incubated in the dark at 37 °C for 20 minutes. After washing with cold JC-1 staining buffer, cultured podocytes were quantified by flow cytometry to detect the fluorescent cells.

The mitochondrial membrane potential of chondrocytes was assessed using a JC-1 staining kit (Beyotime). Briefly, the cells were collected and washed three times with PBS. Thereafter, the cells were stained with JC-1 (5 μg/ml) for 20 min at 37°C. The cells were then washed again three times with PBS to remove the residual JC-1. Cells were observed under confocal microscopy (Olympus, FV3000) (magnification, ×200).

JC-1 and Mito-Tracker Red CMXRos staining of mitochondria is dependent on the mitochondrial membrane potential. The cells transfected PER2-sh2 and the control lentiviral vector exhibited fluorescence upon excitation with a 488 nm laser. However, this laser’s spectral range overlapped with the fluorescence emission spectra of the JC-1 monomer, rendering it unsuitable for detecting MMP in the PER2-sh2 and the control cells. As a result, Mito-Tracker Red CMXRos dye was sought for MMP detection in these cells. Mito-Tracker Red CMXRos is suitable for fluorescent double-labeling experiments, and similar to JC-1, the staining of mitochondria with Mito-Tracker Red CMXRos is dependent on MMP. Cells were cultured in OM medium for 3 days and then stained with a JC-1 staining kit (monomer: 490/530; aggregate: 525/590; C2006, Beyotime, China) or Mitotracker Red CMXRos (100 nM, 15 min, 579/599; C1035, Beyotime, China) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. After that, living cells were viewed and imaged with a confocal laser scanning microscope.

The MMP levels in cells and kidney tissues were assessed using the JC-1 staining kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). For cellular MMP detection, cells were evenly seeded in six-well plates. JC-1 staining working solution was added following the instructions provided with the kit. After incubation, cells were washed with JC-1 staining buffer. The samples were observed under a fluorescence microscope to distinguish JC-1 monomers (green fluorescence) and JC-1 polymers (red fluorescence). MMP in kidney tissues was assessed using the following method. Firstly, kidney tissues were processed using a tissue mitochondrial isolation kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) to extract mitochondrial organelles. The total protein concentration in the mitochondrial samples was determined using the BCA protein quantification method. Subsequently, purified mitochondria were suspended in diluted JC-1 working solution. Finally, the fluorescence intensity values of JC-1 polymers and monomers were measured using a fluorescence microplate reader. Calculate the ratio of JC-1 polymers and monomers.

Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was monitored by using JC-1staining kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Cells were stained by JC-1 (10 μg/mL) at 37 °C for 20 min. MMP was visualized by fluorescence microscopy (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). JC-1 monomers appear green fluorescence, indicating low MMP. JC-1 aggregates present red fluorescence, suggesting high MMP. Data are represented as the ratio of red to green fluorescence intensity.

The JC-1 staining kit (C2006, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to measure the mitochondrial membrane potential of LO2 cells. Cells (2.5 × 105) were resuspended in 0.5 mL of cell culture medium containing serum and phenol red. They were then incubated with 0.5 mL of JC-1 staining working solution (5×) for 20 min at 37 °C. After incubation, the cell suspension was centrifuged at 600g for 4 min at 4 °C to precipitate the cells. Afterward, the cell supernatant was aspirated and washed with ice-cold 1 × JC-1 staining buffer. Next, cells were resuspended by adding 1 mL of JC-1 staining buffer (1 ×), centrifuged at 600×g for 4 min at 4 °C, repeated twice. The precipitated cells were resuspended in 1 × JC-1 staining buffer again and analyzed with a flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA).

Measuring Mitochondrial Membrane Potential

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
JC‐1 spontaneously creates J‐aggregates that produces red fluorescence in the mitochondria of healthy cells with elevated mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Nevertheless, the MMP decreases, and JC‐1 is discharged from the mitochondria of unhealthy cells and resides as a green fluorescent monomer in the cytoplasm. A JC‐1 staining kit (Beyotime Biotechnology) was utilized to monitor the MMP according to the instructions stipulated by the manufacturer. Adult mouse cardiomyocytes were stained with JC‐1 (10 μg/ml) for 20 min at 37°C. A fluorescence microscope (Olympus) was utilized to visualize MMP. JC‐1 monomers exhibit green fluorescence, indicative of reduced MMP, while the red fluorescence of JC‐1 aggregates indicates elevated MMP. The data are displayed as the red‐to‐green fluorescence intensity ratio.

The MMP was determined using a JC-1 staining kit (Beyotime, Nanjing, China). Mitochondria were extracted from liver tissue and purified by differential centrifugation. Cells (1 × 105) were washed twice in phosphate-buffered saline (2000 rpm, 5 min each) and suspended in 500 μL of JC-1 working solution. The cells were incubated in 5% CO2 at 37 °C for 20 min. After washing them twice with the incubation buffer, the cells were resuspended in 1 mL of incubation buffer and subjected to flow cytometry. The red-to-green fluorescence intensity ratio was analyzed using Cell Quest and ImageJ software (NIH). For detecting JC-1 monomers and polymers, the excitation wavelength was 490 and 525 nm, and the emission wavelength was 530 and 590 nm, respectively. The MMP changes were calculated by the relative ratio of red-to-green fluorescence.

Then, the fluorescence intensity of aggregates and monomers was analysed using ImageJ software using the same method as DHE staining, and the ratio of aggregates/monomers fluorescence intensity was calculated as an indicator of mitochondrial transmembrane potential.
