Cell Meter™ Mitochondrial Hydroxyl Radical Detection Kit *Red Fluorescence*

The detection of intracellular hydroxyl radical is of central importance to understanding proper cellular redox regulation and the impact of its dysregulation on various pathologies. The hydroxyl radical ('OH) is one of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) highly reactive with other molecules to achieve stability. In general, hydroxyl radical is considered to be a harmful by-product of oxidative metabolism, which can cause molecular damage in living system. It shows an average lifetime of 10-9 nano seconds and can react with nearly every biomolecule such as nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA, proteins and membrane lipids. AAT Bioquest's Cell Meter™ Mitochondrial Hydroxyl Radical Detection Kit is optimized for detecting hydroxyl radical in mitochondria. MitoROS™ OH580 is live-cell permeant probe and can rapidly and selectively target hydroxyl radical in live cells. It generates red fluorescence when it reacts with 'OH, and can be easily read. Cell Meter™ Mitochondrial Hydroxyl Radical Detection Kit provides a sensitive fluorimetric probe to detect OH' in live cells with one hour incubation. This kit can be used for fluorescence microplate readers and fluorescence microscopy applications.

Protocol summary

  1. Prepare cells
  2. Incubate cells with MitoROS™ OH580 working solution at 37°C for 60 minutes
  3. Incubate cells with test compounds (to induce OH-)
  4. Monitor the fluorescence increase at Ex/Em= 540/590 nm

Important notes
Thaw all the components at room temperature before use.

PREPARATION OF STOCK SOLUTION

Unless otherwise noted, all unused stock solutions should be divided into single-use aliquots and stored at -20 °C after preparation. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

1. MitoROS™ OH580 stock solution (500X):
Add 50 µL of DMSO (Component C) into the vial of MitoROS™ OH580 (Component A), and mix them well. Note: 25 uL of stock solution is enough for 1 plate. Note: Unused portion can be aliquoted and stored at ≤ -20ºC for more than one month if the tubes are sealed tightly and kept from light. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

PREPARATION OF WORKING SOLUTION

Add 25 μL of 500X DMSO reconstituted MitoROS™ OH580 stock solution into 10 mL of Assay Buffer (Component B). Mix well. Note: This working solution is stable for at least 2 hours at room temperature.

SAMPLE EXPERIMENTAL PROTOCOL

  1. Remove medium, and add 100 µL/well (96-well plate) or 25 µL/well (384-well plate) of MitoROS™ OH580 working solution into the cell plate. Incubate cells at 37°C for 60 minutes.

  2. To induce hydroxyl radical, treat cells with test compounds in your desired buffer (such as PBS or HHBS) at 37°C for a desired period of time, protected from light. Note: We treated HeLa cells with Fenton reaction (10 µM CuCl2 and 100 µM H2O2) at 37°C for 1 hour to induce exogenous hydroxyl radical. See Figure 1 for details. We treated RAW 264.7 cells with PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) in growth medium at 37°C for 4 hours to stimulate endogenous hydroxyl radical.

  3. Wash cells 2 - 3 times with HHBS or DPBS, and add 100 µL Assay Buffer (Component B) to each well.

  4. Monitor the fluorescence signal in cells using fluorescence microscope with a TRITC filter set, or measure fluorescence increase using fluorescence microplate reader at Ex/Em = 540/590 nm (cut off = 570 nm) with bottom read mode.

Antioxidant NAC partially and significantly reverses the H2O2-mediated increase in phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in FLS1 cells. (A) Cells were cultured (Aa) without or (Ab) with H2O2 (500 μM) for 24 h, and then OH∙ production in the cells was fluorescently visualized. Detection of hydroxyl radicals in FLS1 cells was performed using a Cell Meter™ mitochondrial hydroxyl radical (OH∙) detection kit under a fluorescence microscope. The nuclei were counter-stained with Hoechst 33342 (blue). Scale bar, 50 μm.

Cellular mitochondrial ROS-OH580 activity under 24 h pulsed UV irradiation in MCF-7 and Cos7 cells. (A) The signal intensities of PI and ROS-OH580 in control MCF-7 cells were weakly distributed in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Bar = 5 μm. Cell atrophy and cytoplasmic lysis were observed in irradiated MCF-7 cells. Most cells were PI-positive (cell death), and the ROS-OH580 (•OH) signal was strongly detected in the nuclear enrichment. Bar = 5μm. (B) PI and ROS-OH580 (•OH) signal intensities in Cos7 cells were weakly distributed in the cytoplasm of control and irradiated Cos7 cells. Bar = 5μm.
