TMRE-Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit ab113852 is used for quantifying changes in mitochondrial membrane potential in live cells by flow cytometry, microplate spectrophotometry and fluorescent microscopy.
TMRE (tetramethylrhodamine, ethyl ester) is used to label active mitochondria. TMRE is a cell permeant, positively-charged, red-orange dye that readily accumulates in active mitochondria due to their relative negative charge. Depolarized or inactive mitochondria have decreased membrane potential and fail to sequester TMRE. NB: TMRE is also available as free molecule as ab274305 (Tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester).
The TMRE protocol also uses FCCP (carbonyl cyanide 4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone), which is a ionophore uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. Treating cells with FCCP eliminates mitochondrial membrane potential and TMRE staining. TMRE is suitable for the labeling of mitochondria in live cells and is not compatible with fixation.
TMRE protocol summary:
- add FCCP to appropriate control cell samples and incubate for 10 min
- incubate with TMRE for 15-30 min, pellet (suspension cells) / remove media (adherent cells) and wash with PBS / 0.2% BSA
- analyze with micro-plate reader at Ex/Em 549/575 nm, flow cytometer using 488nm laser for excitation and at emission 575 nm, or fluorescent microscope. -

How other researchers have used TMRE assay kit ab113852
Maiti AK et al. of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, used TMRE assay kit ab113852 to identify that C. rodentium infection in mice* reduced mitochondrial transmembrane potential. In a subsequent paper, they identified that this effect was reduced by treatment with vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). *a model for enteropathogenic E. coli -

Mitochondrial Membrane Potential is an important parameter of mitochondrial function used as an indicator of cell death. The collapse of the mitochondrial Membrane potential coincides with the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pores, leading to the release of cytochrome c into the cytosol, which in turn triggers other downstream events in the apoptotic cascade. -

Mitochondrial membrane potential was measured using ab113852Popova D et al., PloS One, 11(11). Fig 5. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0166750 Reproduced under the Creative Commons license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
P19 neurons (750 cells/mm2) were exposed to MDMA on days 7–9 in serum-free medium for 10 min up to 48 hours. The positive control FCCP (carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone), an uncoupler of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, was applied at the concentration of 5 μM for 10 min. The cells were incubated with 500 μM TMRE for 30–45 min at 37°C, 5% CO2, followed by washing once with 100 μl of HBSS containing 0.2% bovine serum albumin. A volume of 200 μL of HBSS containing 0.2% bovine serum albumin was added to each well, and the fluorescence was measured with excitation/emission: 544/590 nm.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - TMRE—Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit (ab113852)A: HeLa cells (adherent) were cultured on coverslips and stained with ab113852 (200nM TMRE) for 20 minutes in media, washed briefly with PBS and immediately imaged. B: Jurkat cells (suspension) were stained and washed as above and then transferred to a slide and immobilized under a coverslip for imaging. -

PLoS One. 2018; 13(9): e0204567. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0204567Maiti AK et al (2018) used TMRE assay kit ab113852 to measure mitochondrial membrane potential in an in vitro mouse intestinal model treated with cytokines in the presence and absence of VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide). VIP was induced by C. rodentium infection and cytokines.
