This video describes the procedure for isolating mitochondria from human ovarian cancer tissues using differential-speed centrifugation in combination with density gradient centrifugation. The isolated mitochondria can be used for proteomic analysis of human ovarian cancer mitochondrial proteome.
Protocol
All procedures involving human participants have been performed in compliance with the institutional, national, and international guidelines for human welfare and have been reviewed by the local institutional review board. 1. Preparation of mitochondria from human ovarian cancer tissues Ovarian tissue samples including ovarian cancer tissues (n = 7) were used for this protocol. Prepare 250 mL of the mitochondrial isolation buffer by mixi…
Mannitol is a polyol (polyhydric alcohol) produced from hydrogenation from fructose that functions as a sweetener, humectant, and bulking agent. It has low hygroscopicity and poor oil solvency.
PMSF is a protease inhibitor that reacts with serine residues to inhibit trypsin, chymotrypsin, thrombin, and papain.

Potassium chloride, KCI, also known as potassium muriate and sylvite, is a colorless crystalline solid with a salty taste that melts at 776°C (1420 OF). It is soluble in water, but insoluble in alcohol. Potassium chloride is used in fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, photography, and as a salt substitute
