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).

The collapsed MMP in osteoblasts was detected by flow cytometry following JC-1 dye staining (Beyotime-biotechnology, China). Briefly, after treatment as described above, the harvested MC3T3-E1 cells were resuspended in a staining solution, which were prepared by admixing serum-free a-MEM (500  µL) and JC-1 staining fluid (500  µL). Subsequently, osteoblasts were incubated with the staining solution for 20 min at 37 °C in the dark. After incubation, osteoblasts were washed thrice with the JC-1 staining buffer (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Jiangsu, China), and resuspended in 500  µL of cell culture medium prior to analysis by flow cytometry. Finally, the ratio of red fluorescence intensity to green fluorescence intensity was calculated, and the results were used to evaluate the change in MMP for each sample (Ding et al., 2012 (link)).
