Lysotracker green

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China, United States

LysoTracker Green is a fluorescent probe that specifically labels acidic organelles, such as lysosomes, in living cells. It is a membrane-permeable dye that accumulates in these compartments due to their low pH environment. LysoTracker Green can be used to study the dynamics and distribution of lysosomes within cells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To observe fat droplets in ZFL, the BODIPY staining was conducted as described in our previous study [25 (link)]. To assess the mitophagy state of ZFL, cells were plated on μ-slide 8 well (ibidi, Gräfelfing, Germany). Before treatment, ZFL was incubated in 100 nM Mtphagy Dye (Dojindo, Japan) and washed twice with the medium without FBS. Then, 5 μg/mL Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used to stain the nuclei for 10 min at room temperature. To assess the co-localization of mitochondria and lysosomes, cells were stained by 300 nM Mitotracker Red (Invitrogen, USA) and 75 nM Lyso-Tracker Green (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) for 20 min, respectively. Fluorescence imaging was performed and photographed using a Leica sp8 laser scanning confocal microscope.

Lysosomes and mitochondria were labeled with the Lyso-Tracker Green (C1048; Beyotime, Shanghai, China) and Mito-Tracker Red (C1048; Beyotime, Shanghai, China) probes, respectively, and the co-localization of lysosomes and mitochondria was visualized to characterize mitophagy flux. Briefly, Lyso-Tracker Red solution was diluted into a final concentration of 50 nM using medium (1:13,333). Mito-Tracker Red solution was diluted into a final concentration of 20 nM using a medium (1:5000). Next, cells were incubated with Lyso-Tracker Red for 5 min at 37 °C followed by incubation with Mito-Tracker Red for 15 min at 37 °C. Finally, cells were observed with a fluorescence microscope.

Live-cell Imaging of Autophagy Flux

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For live-cell imaging, HEK293T cells overexpressing GLA wildtype or mutants were pre-transfected with pCS2-mCherry-LC3 or pCS2-mCherry-GFP-LC3 plasmid for 24 h and subsequently transferred to a μ-Dish (Φ 35 mm, NEST). For pCS2-mCherry-LC3 transfection, after 12 h of cell attachment, the cells were washed once with PBS, and 2 mL of serum-free medium supplemented with 50 nM LysoTracker Green (Beyotime, Shanghai, China, C1047S), a green fluorescent probe that can be selectively retained in lysosomes, was added. After coincubation for 30 min in the cell incubator, the medium was replaced with fresh medium without LysoTracker Green to avoid nonspecific labeling caused by an excessively long staining time. Confocal images of the cells were taken immediately with a laser scanning microscope (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). The flux of autophagy in cells can be measured by the colocalization of LC3 with lysosomes. The excitation wavelength of LysoTracker Green was 488 nm, and the emission wavelength was 500–550 nm. mCherry-LC3 was excited at 561 nm and emitted from 570 to 620 nm. Images were processed using ImageJ 1.52a.

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.
