Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Analysis

Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was analyzed using a JC-1 fluorescent probe kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China). The lipophilic and cationic fluorescent dye, JC-1 (5,5′,6,6′-tetrachloro-1,1′,3,3′-tetraethyl benzimidazole carbocyanine iodide), is capable of selectively entering mitochondria, forming aggregates in mitochondria and emitting red fluorescence at high MMP. However, in low MMP, JC-1 cannot enter mitochondria and forms monomers that emit green fluorescence. The ratio of red to green fluorescence provides an estimate of change in MMP. The aggregates/monomer ratio was quantified at an excitation wavelength of 524 nm, emission wavelength of 590 nm (monomer, excitation at 490 nm and emission at 530 nm). HepG2 cells or L02 cells were co-cultured with SWNHs for 48 h in a 6-well plate and then treated with JC-1 (5 µg/ml) at 37°C for 30 min. Then, the cells were washed with JC-1 Staining Buffer (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) for three times. The fluorescence intensity was immediately measured using a fluorescence microscope at a magnification of ×200 (IX71; Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). The intensity of green and red fluorescence was measured using Image-Proplus 6.0 software (Media Cybernetics, Rockville, MD, USA).

To assess apoptosis, DLBCL cells were treated with different concentrations of ABT‐199 and Apatinib alone or in combination for 12 and 24 h, according to the manufacturer's instruction. DLBCL cells were harvested and then analysed by Novocyte (ACEA Bioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) after Annexin V/PI (Thermofisher, San Diego, CA, USA) staining for 15 min at room temperature in the dark. Primary DLBCL bone marrow or tissue samples were subjected to leukocyte separation. We used the Click‐iT EdU Kit (Thermofisher) to test the cell cycle. Loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) (Δψm) was detected using JC‐1 Fluorescent Probe Kit (Beyotime Company, Shanghai, China). To evaluate the interaction between ABT‐199 and Apatinib, calcusyn software (Biosoft, Cambridge, UK) was used to calculate the combination index (CI). We used a Reactive Oxygen Species Assay Kit (Beyotime) as previously reported to detect the level of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the results were shown as the ratio of the mean fluorescence intensity.

Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay

JC-1 fluorescent probe kit (Beyotime, Beijing, China) was used to determine Δψm. Briefly, cells were incubated in DMEM media containing JC-1 (5μg/ml) for 30min at 37°C, and were then measured by fluorescent microscope (Carl Zeiss, Axiovert 200). Δψm was determined by MPF-66 fluorescence spectrometer (Perkin-Elmer) with excitation wavelength at 490nm and emission wavelength at 530/590nm. The ratios of readings at according wavelengths were converted into relative Δψm values.

After treated for 48 h, 2 x 105 NALM-6/R cells were subjected to apoptosis assay using an Annexin V Apoptosis Detection Kit-APC (eBioscience Company, USA), following the manufacturer's instructions. For the mitochondrial membrane potential assessment, after different treatments for 48 h, 2 x 105 NALM-6/R cells were analyzed using a JC-1 fluorescent probe kit (Beyotime Company, China), following the manufacturer's instructions. To measure the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, about 2 x 105 NALM/R cells subjected to different treatments were washed in PBS buffer twice, and then incubated in 1 ml of serum-free RPMI 1640 medium containing 10 μM of H2DCFDA for 30 min at 37°C. The cells were harvested, and then washed in serum-free RPMI 1640 medium buffer twice to remove the remaining H2DCFDA. The fluorescent intensity was measured by flow cytometry. For assessing the degree of DNA damage, 2 x 105 NALM-6/R cells were incubated for 15 min on ice in hybridization buffer (PBS containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.25% Triton X-100). After centrifugation, the cells were incubated with rabbit monoclonal anti-γH2A.X antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, USA) for 1 h, then washed with PBS and incubated with an FITC-conjugated mouse anti-rabbit IgG antibody (BD Pharmingen) for 30 min in the dark at room temperature.

Apoptosis and Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess apoptosis, cells were treated with TPL and ABT-199 alone or in combination for 24 and 48 h, followed by staining with Annexin-V-FITC/PI (eBioscience, San Diego, California, USA) for 15 min at room temperature in the dark according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were then analyzed by NovoCyte flow cytometry with NovoExpress software (ACEA Biosciences, Inc., USA) to determine the percentage of Annexin-V positive (apoptotic) cells. Loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) was measured using JC-1 Fluorescent Probe Kit (Beyotime Company, Shanghai, China) by following the manufacturer’s instructions as described previously15 (link). To assess the interaction between TPL and ABT-199, two separate approaches (i.e., CompuSyn and CalcuSyn) were used to calculate the combination index (CI). CI < 1.0 indicates synergism, while CI = 1.0 and CI > 1.0 indicate an additive or antagonistic effect, respectively.

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.
