Assessing Mitochondrial Membrane Potential

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mitochondrial membrane potential was tested using the JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential detection kit (KeyGEN, KGA602, China). Aggregated JC-1 emits red fluorescence, whereas the monomorphic form emits green fluorescence. In impaired mitochondria, with a depolarized mitochondria membrane potential, most JC-1 is in monomeric form, giving a low red-to-green fluorescence ratio [24 (link)]. Pretreated PC12 cells were washed and incubated with JC-1 (2 μg/ml) for 15 min at 37°C following the manufacturer’s instructions. Immediately after washing cells twice with incubation buffer, cell fluorescence emission was measured using a flow cytometer (Merck, Amnis Flowsight, USA).

According to the instructions of the JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential detection kit (KeyGen Biotech, China), the treated cells were incubated with the dye mixture at 37 °C for 30 min and then washed with PBS three times. The cells were observed under a laser confocal microscopy and recorded by a random typical visual field. The red:green fluorescence ratio was calculated by ImageJ software (version 1.4.3.67).

Quantitative changes in ΔΨm at the early stage of cell apoptosis were measured using a J aggregate-forming lipophilic cation-1 (JC-1) Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Detection kit (Nanjing KeyGen Biotech Co., Ltd.) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were treated with 4, 8, or 12 µM LFG-500 for 24 h, then digested with trypsin (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck Millipore) and centrifuged at 367 × g for 5 min at 4°C. The harvested cells were washed once with PBS and incubated with 10 µM JC-1 dye in incubation buffer at 37°C for 20 min in the dark. Subsequently, the cells were washed twice with pre-chilled buffer solution. Relative fluorescence intensities of the cells were monitored using a MACS Flow Cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec GmbH) with MACSQuantify Software (Miltenyi Biotec GmbH; software version 2.4).

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.
