| Description |
mitochondrial permeablity transition pore (MPTP), also known as mitochondrial giant channel (magachannel), is a non-selective highly conductive channel existing between the inner and outer membranes of mitochondria, composed of a variety of protein complexes. Mitochondrial permeability transition pores (MPTP) may be involved in the release of mitochondrial components during cell death. The mitochondrial inner membrane of normal cells can maintain normal mitochondrial potential gradient to ensure cell respiration and energy supply. With Ca2+The intake and release of, a low-conductivity osmotic switching hole switches back and forth between opening and closing. When cells undergo apoptosis and pathological death, the mitochondrial membrane potential switching pore permeability is changed, and Ca2+Overload, oxidation of mitochondrial glutathione, increase of reactive oxygen levels, including subsequent release of cytochrome C, and decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential will all lead to the activation of mitochondrial permeability transition pores. Mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pore assay kit is a more direct detection method for mitochondrial permeability transition pore openness than only mitochondrial membrane potential analysis. The principle is: first, Calcein AM is loaded through passive transportation. The latter is a cell staining reagent that fluorescently labels living cells. It can easily penetrate the living cell membrane and be sheared by esterases in the cell to form a membrane-non-permeable polar molecule Calcein, which is retained in the cell, causing the cytoplasm, including mitochondria, to emit strong green fluorescence. Add CoCl2After that, the fluorescence from the cytoplasm was reduced by CoCl2Quenching, leaving only fluorescence within the mitochondria. As controls, cells can be loaded with Calcein AM and CoCl2At the same time, it was treated with Ionomycin to load the cells with more Ca2+, causing activation of mitochondrial permeability transition pores to quench mitochondrial fluorescence.
