Jc 1 fluorescence probe
The JC-1 fluorescence probe is a fluorescent dye used to measure mitochondrial membrane potential in cells. It exhibits potential-dependent accumulation in mitochondria, indicated by a fluorescence emission shift from green (529 nm) to red (590 nm).

Quantifying Mycelial Oxidative Stress
The mitochondrial respiratory chain complex V (F0F1-ATP synthase) activity and specific activity assays were measured using Spectroscopy Quantitative Detection kit (GenMed Scientifics) following the manufacturer's instruction with purified mitochondrial preparations. Meanwhile, the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was measured by a JC-1 fluorescence probe (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) (Wang et al., 2020 (link)).
Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Measurement
membrane potential is one of the
tokens of apoptosis, which could be detected by the JC-1 fluorescence
probe (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Hela cells were seeded in a 6-well
plate with selenadiazole diluted by a complete culture medium for
24 h. First, the medium was removed, and PBS was utilized for washing.
Then, we added 2000 μL of JC-1 staining reagent into each well
and put them into a 37 °C, 5% CO2 incubator. Twenty
minutes later, the JC-1 staining reagent was obsoleted, and we added
JC-1 buffer into each well to clear away the extra JC-1 staining reagent.
Ultimately, we put a complete culture medium into each well and observed
the distribution of JC-1 monomers and aggregates using a fluorescence
microscope. For the quantitative experiment, we first digested cells
into a suspension and then repeated the steps mentioned above. Flow
cytometry was applied for detecting fluorescence and a quantitative
analysis.
Evaluating Bioactive Molecule Effects
Detecting Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis
The mitochondrial membrane potential for early apoptosis was detected with a JC-1 fluorescence probe (Beyotime, Jiangsu, China). First, JC-1 liquid was added in HepG2 and Huh7 cells for 20 min without light, and then, JC-1 staining buffer was used to wash the cells twice before taking photos with the fluorescence microscope. ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, United States) calculated the average intensity of fluorescence.
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.
