JC-1 - Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit ab113850 is used for the measurement of mitochondrial membrane potential by fluorescence plate reader. In the assay, the cationic dye JC-1 accumulates in mitochondria in a membrane potential-dependent manner, forming red-fluorescent aggregates in polarized mitochondria and remaining as green-fluorescent monomers in depolarized mitochondria.

Using JC1 dye to examine mitochondrial membrane potential depolarization in SH-SY5Y cells.

Son MS et al. (2017) used JC1 Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit ab113850 to stain :
- untreated SH-SY5Y cells (control),
- SH-SY5Y cells treated with 1mM MPP+ (MPP+) and,
- SH-SY5Y cells pretreated with BDS-II followed by 1mM MPP+ treatment (MPP+ +BDSII).

Normal mitochondrial membrane potential is shown in red with JC-1 dimers and depolarized membrane potential is shown in green in JC-1 monomers.

JC1 used to assay in vitro metabolic effect on hepatocyte and hepatoma cells.

Koukourakis MI et al. (2016) used the MMP assay kit to stain with JC-1 in NCTC hepatocytes exposed to amifostine (100 μg/ml) over a time course of 20 minutes in vitro. Confocal microscopy used to assess mitochondrial membrane potential in the cells.

Serial images confirmed a rapid drop of both green and red fluorescence, one minute after exposure, an effect that was restored to normal at 20 minutes, after a small period of a rebound increase.

Functional Studies - JC-1 - Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit (AB113850)

JC1 Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit using green fluorescence imaging.

The JC1- Mitochondrial membrane potential assay kit has been tested using HepG2 cells, control cells and FCCP-treated cells (100uM for 4h) have been used as a positive control. The company's instructions were followed for JC1 mitochondrial membrane potential assay. Imaging was performed on a customized Andor Revolution Spinning Disk Confocal System built around a stand (IX81 Olympus) with a 60x lens and a digital camera (Andor Ixon+885) (CIBIT Facility, MBG-DUTH). Image acquisition was performed in Andor IQ 2 software. Optical sections were recorded every 0.3 μm. All confocal microscopy images presented in this work are 2D maximum intensity projections of z-stack images (ImageJ 1.47v National Institute of Health,USA).
Personal feedback : A green laser with the appropriate emission filter (530nm) has been used to detect the monomer of the JC1 dye, following FCCP treatment the mitochondrial membrane potential of the cells was eliminated, as demonstrated by the increase of the monomer emission.

How the assay works

JC-1 - mitochondrial membrane potential assay kit uses tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide (JC-1), a cationic dye that accumulates in energized mitochondria to measure the mitochondrial membrane potential. At low concentrations (due to low membrane potential) JC-1 is predominantly a monomer that yields green fluorescence with emission of 530±15 nm. At high concentrations (due to high membrane potential) the dye aggregates yielding a red to orange colored emission (590±17.5 nm). Therefore, a decrease in the aggregate fluorescent count is indicative of depolarization whereas an increase is indicative of hyperpolarization. The accompanying FCCP (carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone) is an ionophore uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. Treating cells with FCCP eliminates mitochondrial membrane potential and JC1 staining. JC1 is suitable for the labeling of mitochondria in live cells and it is not compatible with fixation.

補足情報

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

The mitochondrial membrane potential also known as ΔΨm is the electrical potential difference across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This potential results from the electrochemical gradient produced by the proton pumps during electron transport chain activity. The mechanical function of the mitochondrial membrane potential is important to ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrial membranes are widely expressed in almost all eukaryotic cells and are an essential component of cellular metabolism. The inner membrane is structured to facilitate its function housing integral proteins that are key to maintaining the potential.
Biological function summary

The mitochondrial membrane potential drives ATP synthesis by powering ATP synthase an enzyme complex embedded in the mitochondrial membrane. This potential also plays a vital role in other processes such as calcium homeostasis and regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis. The mitochondrial membrane itself forms part of the larger mitochondrial respiratory chain complex coordinating with components like complex I (NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase) and complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) to maintain cell energy needs and respond to metabolic demands.

Pathways

The mitochondrial membrane potential is integral to cellular energy metabolism pathways such as the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrial membrane potential modulation can affect signaling proteins like cytochrome c which is instrumental in apoptosis. Apoptotic signaling pathways involving proteins such as Bax and Bcl-2 influence the mitochondrial membrane potential and regulate cell survival or death in response to cellular stress or damage.

Changes in the mitochondrial membrane potential relate significantly to conditions like neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. In neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer's dysregulation of mitochondrial membrane potential can lead to impaired energy production and increased oxidative stress. Cancer cells often exhibit altered mitochondrial membrane potential affecting processes like apoptosis and enabling survival in adverse conditions. These alterations in potential impact proteins such as p53 which play critical roles in cancer progression and neurodegenerative disease pathology.
