Cells were harvested and washed once in isolation buffer (225 mM mannitol, 75 mM sucrose, 20 mM MOPS pH 7.2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.1% BSA). Cell pellets were then re-suspended and incubated in lysis buffer (100 mM sucrose, 10 mM MOPS pH 7.2, 1 mM EGTA, 0.1% BSA) for 5 min at 4 °C, and then homogenized with Omni homogenizer for 1 min at low speed. One volume of 1.25 M sucrose was then added, and the mixture was centrifuged at 1000 g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was transferred to a new tube, which was subjected to centrifuge at 12000 g for 5 min. The mitochondria-containing pellet was further purified by the Mitochondria Isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) according to manufacturer’s protocol. The eluted mitochondria were washed with high salt buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6, 10 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.4 M NaCl and 2 mM EDTA) and then resuspended in plasmid-safe reaction buffer (33 mM Tris-acetate pH 7.5, 66 mM potassium acetate, 10 mM magnesium acetate and 1 mM DTT). mtDNA was extracted from mitochondria by vigorous vortex followed by 2-3 stokes with 27 ½ G needle. Plasmid-safe ATP-dependent DNase (Epicentre) was added according to manufacturer’s protocol to digested contaminated nuclear DNA. The reaction was cleaned up by the DNA Clean & Concentrator kit (Zymo) to yield “pure” mitochondrial DNA.

Assessing Mitochondrial Integrity via TMRE

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess the functional integrity of isolated mitochondria, TMRE (tetramethylrhodamine, ethyl ester) was used which is a red-orange dye that readily accumulates in active mitochondria. Mitochondria from three independent MSC cultures were isolated using the Mitochondria Isolation Kit (Milteny Biotec) as described in Section 2.2. Purified mitochondria from each time point were pooled to ensure sufficient numbers for analysis. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, mitochondria extracts were resuspended in 1 mL storage buffer and then incubated in 100 nM TMRE (ThermoFisher; T669) for 20 min on ice while protected from light. Stained mitochondria were centrifuged at 12,000g for 2 min and washed once in ice cold storage buffer. Unstained mitochondria were included as a control. Stained or unstained mitochondria pellets were resuspended in 1 mL of storage buffer and incubated on ice prior to analysis on a BD LSRFortessa X-20 Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences). The flow cytometer sample flow rate was set to record at 1000 events per second. The population of unstained mitochondria and TMRE-stained mitochondria were analyzed using FlowJo (v10.7) software.

Mitochondrial fractions were isolated from WT and OSGEPL1 KO HEK293T cells (1 × 107 cells) using the Mitochondria Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec. K.K.) and subjected to western blotting to measure steady-state levels of protein components in respiratory chain complexes using the Total OXPHOS Rodent WB Antibody Cocktail (an antibody mixture targeting ATP5A, UQCRC2, MTCO1, SDHB, and NDUF88; ab110413, Abcam), an anti-ND5 antibody (ab92624, Abcam), and an anti-ND2 antibody (19704-1-AP, Proteintech). Other antibodies used in this study were as follows: anti-OSGEPL1 (25694-1-AP, Proteintech), anti-GAPDH (6C5, Santa Cruz Biotech), anti-FLAG-tag (1E6, Wako), HRP-conjugated donkey anti-mouse/rabbit IgG (715-035-150/715-035-152, Jackson ImmunoResearch), anti-FLAG M2 affinity gel (A2220, Sigma), and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (A-11001, ThermoFisher). To monitor YRDC subcellular localization using the anti-FLAG-tag antibody, mitochondrial fractions were carefully washed with 2 mg/mL digitonin (Sigma) to remove the outer membrane with cytoplasmic components.

The mitochondrial fraction was isolated from WT and GTPBP3 KO cells (1 × 107 cells) using the Mitochondria Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec). Subunit proteins of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes were detected by immunoblotting using Total OXPHOS Rodent WB Antibody Cocktail (1:250, ab110413, Abcam), anti-ND2 antibody (1:200, 19704–1-AP, Proteintech) and anti-mt-VDAC1 antibody (1:500, 10886–1-AP, Proteintech) as a control. HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1:20000, 715–035-152, Jackson ImmunoResearch) was used as the secondary antibody.

Mitochondrial Isolation from B Cells

Mitochondria were isolated from B cells using Mitochondria isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec)
following manufacturer's instructions with some modifications. Briefly, frozen B cells
(2–10 × 107 cells) were directly resuspended in pre-cooled phosphate-buffered
saline (1 ml per 108 total cells) supplemented with ethylenediamine tetraacetatic
acid (EDTA; 2 mM), anti-protease and –phosphatase inhibitors and benzonase
(50 U), and incubated for 20 min at 4 °C. Cell homogenization was performed
with a 26-G needle stepwise using 5–10 stokes. Lysates were diluted to 1 × separation
buffer (Miltenyi Biotec) and proceeded to magnetic labeling by incubation with anti-Tom22 magnetic
beads for 1 h at 4 °C on a wheel. The labeled cell lysate was loaded on a MACS
column placed in a magnetic field and let run through. Lysates were re-loaded three times. Column
was then intensively washed out and the magnetically labeled mitochondria were then flushed out.
Pre- and post-mitochondria-purified fractions were separated by SDS-PAGE and the presence of
cytoplasmic β-actin protein, Mt hsp60 or NDUFA9 proteins, and nuclear KDM1a were
evaluated by western blot analysis using monoclonal anti-β-actin (AC-15,
Sigma-Aldrich), -hsp60 (Biosciences Inc., Allentown, PA, USA), -NDUFA9 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and
KDM1a (Cell Signaling Technology).

The mRNA was purified by Ambion Dynabeads® mRNA DIRECT™ Purification Kit twice according to according to the manufacturer's instruction. For rRNA, total RNAs were separated with 1.5% agarose gel, then 18S and 28 S rRNA were recovered from the gel by Zymoclean™ Gel RNA Recovery Kit (Zymo Research, Orange, CA, USA). For mtRNA, the mitochondria were separated by use of the magnetic beads method (Mitochondria Isolation Kit; Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA, USA). Total mtRNA was extracted by Trizol.

Mitochondria were isolated from BM Lin cells using the Mitochondria Isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotech Inc) following manufacturer instructions. Cell-free mitochondrial translation was carried out using a modified protocol described previously (McKee et al., 2006 (link)). Briefly, mitochondria were incubated at 3 mg protein/ml in 30 μL protein synthesizing medium. The mitochondrial mix was incubated at 30 °C in the presence of vehicle (DMSO) or the mitochondrial translation inhibitor Chloramphenicol (CAP; 10 μM) for 5 min, and 4 μL (4 μCi) [3H]-leucine was then added to the mix and incubation continued for 60 min. The incorporation of [3H]-leucine into mitochondrial protein was determined by counting the [3H]-leucine-labeled proteins in a Beckman LS6000SC liquid scintillaton counter.

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.
