Summary

本研究报道了一种基于流式细胞术和两种荧光报告基因或抗体双重染色测量多种线粒体功能参数的新方法,以检测线粒体体积、线粒体膜电位、活性氧水平、线粒体呼吸链组成和线粒体 DNA 的变化。

Abstract

线粒体在许多神经退行性疾病的病理生理学中很重要。线粒体体积、线粒体膜电位 (MMP)、线粒体活性氧产生 (ROS) 和线粒体 DNA (mtDNA) 拷贝数的变化通常是这些过程的特征。本报告详细介绍了一种基于流式细胞术的新型方法,用于测量不同细胞类型中的多种线粒体参数,包括人诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)和iPSC来源的神经和神经胶质细胞。这种基于流动的策略使用活细胞来测量线粒体体积、MMP 和 ROS 水平,并使用固定细胞来估计线粒体呼吸链 (MRC) 和 mtDNA 相关蛋白质(如线粒体转录因子 A (TFAM))的成分。

通过与荧光报告基因(包括 MitoTracker Green (MTG)、四甲基罗丹明乙酯 (TMRE) 和 MitoSox Red 共同染色,可以量化线粒体体积、MMP 和线粒体 ROS 的变化,并与线粒体含量相关。用针对MRC复合物亚基和线粒体外膜20转位酶(TOMM20)的抗体进行双重染色,可以评估MRC亚基的表达。由于TFAM的量与mtDNA拷贝数成正比,因此每个TOMM20的TFAM测量可以间接测量每个线粒体体积的mtDNA。整个协议可以在2-3小时内进行。重要的是,这些协议允许使用流式细胞术测量线粒体参数,包括总水平和每线粒体体积的特定水平。

Introduction

线粒体是存在于几乎所有真核细胞中的必需细胞器。线粒体通过氧化磷酸化产生三磷酸腺苷(ATP)来负责能量供应,并作为生物合成和代谢的代谢中介。线粒体深入参与许多其他重要的细胞过程,如ROS生成、细胞死亡和细胞内Ca2+ 调节。线粒体功能障碍与各种神经退行性疾病有关,包括帕金森病 (PD)、阿尔茨海默病 (AD)、亨廷顿病 (HD)、弗里德赖希共济失调 (FRDA) 和肌萎缩侧索硬化症 (ALS)1。线粒体功能障碍和mtDNA异常的增加也被认为有助于人类衰老23

神经退行性疾病中会出现各种类型的线粒体功能障碍,线粒体体积的变化、MMP去极化、ROS的产生和mtDNA拷贝数的改变是常见的4567因此,在研究疾病机制和测试潜在治疗剂时,测量这些和其他线粒体功能的能力非常重要。此外,鉴于缺乏忠实复制人类神经退行性疾病的动物模型,建立合适的体外模型系统来概括脑细胞中的人类疾病是朝着更好地了解这些疾病和开发新疗法迈出的重要一步2,389

人iPSCs可用于产生各种脑细胞,包括神经元和非神经元细胞(即神经胶质细胞),并且在两种细胞类型都发现了与神经退行性疾病相关的线粒体损伤3,10,111213iPSC分化为神经和神经胶质谱系的适当方法可用141516。这些细胞为体外疾病建模和药物筛选提供了独特的人/患者平台。此外,由于这些来自患者,iPSC衍生的神经元和神经胶质细胞提供了更准确地反映人类正在发生的事情的疾病模型。

迄今为止,很少有方便可靠的方法来测量iPSCs中的多个线粒体功能参数,特别是活神经元和神经胶质细胞。流式细胞术的使用为科学家提供了一种强大的工具来测量单细胞中的生物学参数,包括线粒体功能。该协议提供了生成不同类型的脑细胞的详细信息,包括来自 iPSC 的神经干细胞 (NSC)、神经元和神经胶质星形胶质细胞,以及基于流式细胞术的新型方法,用于测量不同细胞类型中的多个线粒体参数,包括 iPSC 和 iPSC 衍生的神经和神经胶质细胞。该协议还提供了使用流式细胞术测量线粒体体积、MMP、线粒体 ROS 水平、MRC 复合物和 TFAM 的共染色策略。通过结合线粒体体积或质量的测量,这些协议还允许测量每个线粒体单位的总水平和特定水平。
